( her eye twitches, very subtly. in return ) Did it feel good when Hawk fucked you?
( answer: probably. embry doesn't remember, parisa doesn't exactly remember either, though she wasn't blacked out at the time. she remembers every second of the bird's suffering song when she snapped its neck — horrifying to her now, but better it than her, she figures. it wasn't the taste that drew her in, but the compulsion towards violence, towards gorging herself. a little like a wolf, eating to a distended belly (that is, less than an ounce of organ meat) when meat is readily available. throwing it up to comfortably continue on (almost her entire water weight in blood, seemingly from absolutely nowhere).
she thinks about it, but does turn her back towards embry, gathering her hair over one shoulder. ) Unzip me. ( bourbon and the lingering taste of blood in her mouth is a surprisingly good cocktail, actually.
undone, she steps out of her dress, not bothering to be coy about being naked in front of embry. facing him, she is very purposely looking to see any repulsion at the sight of her scar. )
People with mental health disorders have black outs. Dissociative identity comes to mind — it's a common side effect of ADHD, too. Dissociative amnesia, depersonalization-derealization disorder, even kinds of autism can lead to time blindness. If you want me to stand here and list every person with a mental health problem in the house, we'll be here all day. Just assume everyone, you'll be right more often than not.
( she is, despite herself, very grateful for the offering of his pajamas. personally, she would've stolen his cashmere sweater, but she'll just do that during the next blackout, she supposes. shouldering into it, she slowly does up the buttons, irately clicking her tongue. )
I'll take a Martha Stewart fantasy over some of the things I read any day. She's hot and rich. Anyway — why focus on "should"? We're alive, that's the fact. Yours, at least, has easy preventative measures. We just lock you up somewhere until the blackout is over — is there a time of day it's likely to happen? If it's only happened twice, that means it's monthly, like mine. Is there a reason you went after those two? Was your behavior different while you were under? Did anything else change, but your consciousness? The more we know about it, the better.
