petty_dabblerFawn had given John the pass code so he could come inside without Fawn needing to be there to give permission. And so, naturally, John took advantage of it. He had his feet up, watching a video, when he heard the door.
"I brought some beer, love. And some chocolate. Come see, this is the newest bit of your sho-" he said, slowly turning to look at Fawn.
But it wasn't Fawn.
John sat bolt upright and scrambled to his feet.
"Fin," he said, his throat tight.

He shook his head.
"Tragic."
no subject
Date: 2021-07-20 12:56 am (UTC)Fin laughed at that, nodding.
"The holodeck is... It's remarkable," he noted after a beat.
no subject
Date: 2021-07-20 12:58 am (UTC)"The holodeck is fucking magic," he said. "I've never seen anything like it. My mate Aaron says people can get addicted to it. Lose reality. And I believe it."

Date: 2021-07-20 01:09 am (UTC)"I could see that happening," Fin nodded. "I have a client who loves meeting there."
no subject
Date: 2021-07-20 01:14 am (UTC)"A client?" John asked with a curious slant to his brows.
no subject
Date: 2021-07-20 11:24 am (UTC)"Yes, a client," Fin replied. "Someone who purchases my service," he explained.
no subject
Date: 2021-07-20 11:46 am (UTC)John wasn't sure he wanted to know any more than that so he nodded.
But curiosity got the better of him.
"...What services?" he regretted asking immediately.
no subject
Date: 2021-07-20 11:51 am (UTC)"I offer intimacy," Fin replied. "Sometimes sexual, sometimes platonic. If you're interested I can pass your information along to my manager, and he'll arrange everything."
no subject
Date: 2021-07-20 11:52 am (UTC)John arched a brow at that.
"You've got a pimp on a space ship?" John asked incredulously.
no subject
Date: 2021-07-20 11:54 am (UTC)"I don't know what that word is," Fin replied honestly. "I have a manager though. Goodfellow helped me secure a licence to offer my services here, and he arranges my meetings. I still get last say in who I spend time with, but he makes it easier to find work."
no subject
Date: 2021-07-20 12:00 pm (UTC)"Goodfellow. Rob. Of course. But, of course," he sighed heavily.
no subject
Date: 2021-07-20 12:03 pm (UTC)"You know him?" Fin asked.
no subject
Date: 2021-07-20 12:09 pm (UTC)"I knew him in my world. Yeah. He still proud of his third leg?" John snorted.
no subject
Date: 2021-07-20 12:11 pm (UTC)"I believe he's what they would call bipedal," Fin replied, puzzled.
no subject
Date: 2021-07-20 12:51 pm (UTC)John rolled his eyes and gave his head a shake.
"His prick, love. Where I'm from he's hung like a bloody draft horse."
no subject
Date: 2021-07-20 01:06 pm (UTC)"Oh. Yes, he has a sizable organ," Fin nodded. "When we first met he was swimming in the nude."
no subject
Date: 2021-07-20 01:53 pm (UTC)"Even in the middle of space, I can't say I'm surprised. Alright, so Rob's here, too. I wonder who else..."
His thought trailed off and he took another swallow.
"Huh."
no subject
Date: 2021-07-20 04:16 pm (UTC)Fin drank as well, still eyeing John curiously
"What are your intentions with my brother?" he asked finally.
no subject
Date: 2021-07-20 05:01 pm (UTC)"How do you mean?" he asked. "I'm not going to steal him away someplace. It'd be nice to live together, though, I think. But that's up to him, innit?"
It had always been up to Fawn. John wanted what he wanted, but he wasn't about to just snatch it and take it from the being.
no subject
Date: 2021-07-20 05:52 pm (UTC)Fin frowned, but said nothing to that. Instead he moved on.
"What do you do on this ship? Do you have a job?"
no subject
Date: 2021-07-20 06:02 pm (UTC)"No. As far asI can tell, I'm just a passenger. Like you," he answered. "And no one's had questions about me being here, so it must have all slotted into place when I arrived. That's what I think, anyway."
no subject
Date: 2021-07-20 06:09 pm (UTC)"I'm not a passenger, I'm a refugee- As is Fawn. It's why we'll be asked to leave unless we find the money or means to stay," Fin explained.
no subject
Date: 2021-07-20 06:17 pm (UTC)He needed a plan. What he needed was a great plan, because Fin had just made him realize just how fucked he was when they realized he wasn't supposed to be there.
no subject
Date: 2021-07-20 06:22 pm (UTC)"I don't want to leave this place," Fin confessed. "I finally feel like I belong somewhere."
no subject
Date: 2021-07-20 06:26 pm (UTC)"I don't think you've got a lot of options, mate," John said. "You have any solid ideas?"
