magike | ★ MEMES & OVERFLOW;

I mean, yeah, 'course I'll have more sex. There's a number of good babes here.

[ That's not even out of the question for Johnny. He knows Rowena will let him have sex with anybody else anyway. He'll allow her, too, not that he even has a say on it given she's the Dominant and a pretty independent, strong-willed woman. ]

Well, maybe I can work in some of the establishments here as security or something. [ He's considering it but also not. He kind of likes the whole sugar baby thing going on here, if he has to be honest with himself. But he knows he'll get bored pretty quick and get antsy, so working is definitely on the plate for Johnny. ] Put my powers to good use and all that. I'm not all show-off, you know.

What're you thinking of earning money with?

( a raised eyebrow because he hasn't shown her that yet. but she's certainly approving of the idea -- working in security would be particularly useful and maybe she'll use that idea to help nudge him towards somewhere she's interested in. in case he heard information )

I've been offering tarot readings.

( something that rowena was very knowledgable in though had practiced less than some of her other talents, more when she needed it than a daily practice. and whilst modern witches had popularised the practice (which she loathed, the accessory of the tool and talent) it was a useful idea for her to pull on now. and it was a simple way for her to make some money now until she found a better way )

Something that many are interested in. A hobby more than a job.

[ Johnny slowly nods, taking in what she just said. He has always believed that people should do whatever they like and Rowena's pretty good with magic, so he approves of this. ]

Hey, pretty good idea! I can see it, you opening a shop. People lining up to get their fortunes. Maybe I can even snag you some customers. Chicks love that kinda stuff.

[ He'll bring it up during their pillowtalks or maybe even tell them they can't have sex with the gorgeous Johnny Storm if they don't get a reading. It'll be perfect! ]

( she's actually slightly speechless by the idea, silenced herself for a few seconds. whilst rowena knows the popularity of tarot and occult shops she's never associated herself with them despite wanting to be surrounded by magic )

What many people view as magic fails to grasp the essence of it. Parlour tricks and... cheap ideas, a look that they take.

( she's very judgy on this but she's not ashamed of the opinions. practitioners, whether they were naturals or students she accepted. people using the idea? it wasn't magic. and it kept her distance as much as borrowers did )

Whilst it might seem fitting, surrounded by magic... magic needs a delicate balance, most don't appreciate hearing that when they wish for a spell.

[ He raises his hands and pouts a little. ]

Well, your expertise, not mine. Was just giving a suggestion. [ Shrugs. ] Totally up to you how you wanna do this.

[ Johnny doesn't want to overstep (yes, wow a miracle) because magic isn't his thing and he knows by now that she gets defensive about the topic. Which, fair. It's her thing. ]

If things go to plan I won't need to work.

( which she says with confidence. part of that plan is squirrelling away the tarot funds, part is seeing where else she can get her claws into. and part is the money he'll bring in. sugar dom with his own money. and she's pretty confident that she can be in this city without being bored, it's a life she's used to.

but they're paused, their meals being brought over, rowena allowing the waiter to pour the wine for her with a small smile )

Enjoy it.

Okay? Am I allowed to know that plan or am I just gonna get surprised you're suddenly really rich?

[ Johnny has every plan to have his own cash, but hey, being a sugar baby is nice too. He has lived the spoiled life so might as well do it here also.

As soon as the food is brought over, he begins working on his steak and takes a sip of his own wine. ]

Then again, you're a woman full of surprises. [ He smirks at that, taking a bite of his meal. ]

( she laughs softly )

Will it matter when you benefit?

( and truthfully it wasn't yet a fully formed plan but something that she hoped would be very fruitful )

There will be parts I tell you when it's right. You are key to some of my plans.

( a sip of her wine, eyes kept on him as she does. even if she's overstating his role slightly. errands and sex is her wish of him so far but it likely would expand if she could nudge his hand )

[ Johnny answers her question with an amused arched brow and a nod. Of course it matters when he benefits because he's the sugar baby here. Truthfully, though, he trusts her plans anyway. But her admittance on him playing a key role gets a playful smirk from him. ]

Key to some of them, huh? You're not gonna whore me out, are you?

[ If it gets them money and he gets to have great sex, why not? ]

As skilled in that as you might be that isn't my plan.

( prostitution doesn't sit well with her, not with some of her own history )

When your part is ready I'll tell you more.

( words that sound like a promise. and rowena is usually someone to stay by her word )

[ Yeah, Johnny knows she's a woman of her word so he just shrugs and continues eating his steak. ]

Sure, so long as we both benefit from it, whatever the heck that is, it's absolutely fine with me.

[ Takes another sip of his wine. ] So, what're we doing after this?

( a smile, something for him to believe in. trust her, johnny )

I have a package to collect at an apothecary and then the evening is... free.

( another small sip of her wine )

If you have others to see you can, or to explore or find something at home to occupy you.

[ Oh, he does trust her but that smile is appreciated regardless. Another sip of his wine and he grins. ]

Alright, great! Free time. [ Then this grin turns into a bit of a smirk. ]

To explore at home, huh? I can think of something, I guess. [ He knows they just had sex but it's nice to just get naked and explore each other's bodies. ]

( she smiles still though this time it's a little more politer. though rowena's also thinking a little far off the mark compared to him, expecting that sex is the thing on his mind given his earlier enthusiasm and... well, total enthusiasm. it had been one of the first things he'd floated to her when they'd very first met )

You know what they say about good things...

( and either saying works here for her. that they come to those who wait or that you can have too much of one.

but she's not crass, not getting specific with him whilst they're in public, quietly finishing her meal )

[ The reaction Johnny got elicits a groan from him. But he's not totally disappointed, he's just slightly disappointed. There's a difference but one can never tell with him. ]

I know, I know. I'll just find some porn I can jack off to. Won't be hard since that's all they show in the TVs here. Then maybe go to sleep.

[ Very uneventful. ] Or better idea: I can go to one of the bars and snag someone there.

( there's a little sigh because johnny, they're in polite company. which rowena knows is a lie, this city would love to hear about him jacking off, though she likes to pretend she's polite company. she's word too hard for the image she has )

You could... ( and then for acting like polite company what she says next probably isn't ) Are you going to tell me the details when you come back to me?

( said as if she wants to hear the details. she hasn't decided which side of that fence she's falling on, whether she doesn't care to know or whether she'll let him tell her whilst she's playing with him. but as long as he comes home )

If you're still awake to hear it, yeah.

[ He shrugs, implying that he'll be out very late with whoever he might end up snagging. Johnny's aware there's probably nothing between them, so he's very casual with his exploits. He's sure she's not going to be jealous in any way. ]

Or another better idea: I can tell you all about it tomorrow morning.

[ He's also very easy to read so this is all just him being honest and not him trying to make her jealous, if he's nonchalance about the whole thing is any indication. ]

( a raised eyebrow, finishing her glass of wine )

I seem to remember promising to occupy your mouth tomorrow.

( not that it would take all day and maybe she could rile him up a little as he told her. plans could be flexible.

she beckons over a waiter to pay their bill, getting the bottle of wine sealed to take with them )

We'll have to see how good your night is.

[ And Johnny will be quick to point that out - ]

That won't take all day. I'll come back tomorrow morning... [ Pauses, then retracts. ] Or whenever I wake up.

If my night is bad, I'll be home earlier. If not, well - [ Smirk goes here as he gets up so they can leave the restaurant and proceed to her errand. ] - maybe I'll be home by noontime, give or take. And I'll tell you all about it. How they had their hands all over me. [ Again, it's not clear whether he's just teasing or being honest, but his tone suggests the former even if it's actually the latter. ]

( she rolls her eyes at his comments, handing the bag with the wine in it to him once they're outside, resting her hand on his arm again and giving it a light pat )

You do just that dear... but we know who's bed you're coming back to.

( and she's quickly learning how to get under his skin. which is all rowena wants, really, excellent sex for herself with someone that really does want to please her. it's why the comments don't matter to her, or him sleeping with others, there's no jealousy or comparison, she's not going to try and do better than anyone else. she'll just fuck him, tease him, and at the same time potentially do what someone else can't. not because she can but because she enjoys it.

she leads them from the street into the next one, a winding path of a few different streets to take them to their destination )

Does this mean you're departing me before we return home? It would save you returning on yourself to find your bar.

[ Johnny carries the bag with the wine in it with a grin, but he snorts at her comment and her question as she leads them to streets. His brow creases. ]

Then why not just come back to your bed tonight?

[ Because that'll save him all the time and effort of finding someone else, clearly. ]

Good things, my dear.

( and since he specifically had asked she would make him wait. she wasn't against sleeping with him again that night but this felt a little better. spacing him out, and she didn’t need sex quite as frequently as he wished. and for her she figured she'd enjoy it more later )

Though even if we did return to my bed you wouldn't be spending all night there. So you'd need to find yours anyway.

[ Giving those comments a big eye roll, Johnny groans and just grumbles. He knows he can't have his way with her always, but as an impatient, immature brat, he's just bummed. ]

Fine. I'm not gonna leave with you before we return home. [ Sighs, runs a hand through his hair. ] I mean I just wanna give it another go. Not expecting to stay the whole night, anyway. My bed's comfier.

[ Not really. He does want to cuddle all through the night, but Johnny knows that won't get him anywhere. He's also feeling sort of lazy now and just wanna chill at home. Waiting at a bar, even if he knows he'll be able to snag someone, is a lot of work he's not in the mood for tonight. ]

Oh, we will do that again. That wasn't a "sealing the deal" moment just... a taste.

( and a promise that there'd be plenty more times that they'd be together, whether planned or spontaneous, in her bed or elsewhere. which does give her a thought )

In the restaurant, you were right that your mouth wouldn't take all morning. You could spend tonight coming up with something else we could do. I doubt being tied up is where you want to go yet but... it doesn't need to be simple.

( especially not judging by their first time, the heat of his power in his fingers, her magic with him... )

[ Well, there's a thought. Her words made him pause for a moment to think. He doesn't doubt they'd have plenty more times after this. He's just a horny little twat who wants it again tonight. ]

Uh, you're the creative one. I'm just here for the ride, you know. [ A beat. ] You asked me earlier what fantasy I want. What's yours?
