So I just listened to MARINA's Venus Fly Trap and it gives off major Office Limits reader vibes.

So I just listened to MARINA's Venus Fly Trap and it gives off major Office Limits reader vibes.
Can we get a sneak peek of what's to come for off(ice) limits?
This bit of draft-y dialogue comes from a future chapter:
"Didn't expect to find you in the apocalypse. Which, by the way, you still haven't told me what it was like."
"It was ruins. Just crumbled buildings and dead bodies."
"Not a single survivor ?"
"Not that I could find."
"No post apocalyptic dog or love interest?"
"No. I mean there was this one girl--mannequin."
"A mannequin!" Your eyes widened
"It was better than talking to decaying corpses."
"Did she have a name?"
"....Dolores."
You laughed and then sobered. "Five, I need you to be honest with me." He got quiet too. "Did you fuck the mannequin?"
How bout "bite"😈😈
No biting, but “maybe there was a bit too much teeth”
Love
"I'm the authority figure in your life, and I know how much you love those."
👀
"It's cliche."
"It's a classic for a reason."
"I just expect more from you."
"Can we have one assignment where you decide to trust me instead of critiquing every decision?"
You paused, and he sighed.
"It's easy. Fine. But I'm tired and I'd rather them loose control of their car on the icy road than have to orchestrate a ski accident."
"You can't ski, can you?"
"I've been trained in snow combat."
"Of course. But can you ski?"
👁👁
Ok those eyes are horrifying. Definitely Five sending emojis vibes.
"You're allowed to have fun you know. Leave no trace associated with the target, but a...dalliance." You let your eye linger on the man "here and there is ok. Just no pregnancies."
"We're here for a job and to get back out."
"Oh," You turned in your seat. "You're prudish."
"No, I--"
"Or is there someone back at the Commission?"
Five looked at you hard.
Frightened
Frightened isn’t in there, so I searched for a synonym.
“Scared?” he asked, with an eyebrow rasied.
Touch?
“You let your fingertips skim over his bare chest, and he tensed at the touch.” - Off(ice) Limits
