ooc: she is single,so it could have gotten real depraved in there.

"oh my!" mariko giggles in her best george takaei. she loved how absolutely carefree vara was. the filthiest things could pass that woman's lips without a second thought. "its a long way to Jamaica,vara. i dont think you appreciate the grudge i can hold." mariko teases vara while tracing her spine with her fingers.she stops just short of where spine becomes butt. it was a joke,but slightly true. mariko held no ill will towards vara. in fact,if it wasnt weird,she's pick up where they left off. but that would be futile as there were issues that mariko pushed to the very bottom of her being. she holds vara's head gently to her. she wanted the tell tale sign of someone kissing and sucking around her neck. for the time being,she was vara's and didnt care if the world saw. "yeah. we could probably be a baseball team? a curling team? i dont really follow sports." mariko admits. but it was true. you get involved with one of the group,you get involved with all of them. she'd never mention that around three years ago her sister tried to have vara killed. erica was a hot head and had recently been happy vara was back in mariko's life. erica just wanted her sister happy and not hurt anymore. "jayne is weird." mariko says with a shake of her head. the woman walked a line between pretend innocence and being a lot like her adopted brother,erich. "she doesnt deserve to hear a peep."

mariko squeals with delight when she feels vara's bite on her neck. mariko bruised fairly easily,so tomorrow it would look like she was either strangled or played the game seven minutes in heaven with a really neck happy partner. she loved every minute of it too. she needed something physical so that this reconciliation wouldnt be regulated to just memory. she had given herself to vara and something should show that. "i am going to have such a hickey there tomorrow,vara! thanks a lot." she playfully pouts before tilting vara's neck to the side and biting and sucking on vara's neck as if she was a vampire that was afraid to break the skin. she always loved the taste of vara's skin but after their previous actions,it was exceptionally salty. "nobody likes a normal wall flower. quirky wallflower though?" mariko laughs and nuzzles vara lovingly. "i think i can take that world with you." mariko says into vara's ear. she meant it exactly as she said it. she much rather enjoyed life knowing vara was around.

"i know! and here i have no makeup to cover it up with!" mariko whines. "mom is going to kill me." she says with a grin,playing to the rather childishness of the situation. she was of the thought that more people should do such things as full fledged adults,maybe they would be happier that way.
after a few moments mariko was satisfied with the mark she left on vara. now whenever they went out people would either assume they were a couple,or just some friends who got freaky with a stranger. either one was fine with mariko. mariko giggles warmly and kisses vara's nose. " so you think i'm a wall flower?! how dare you." she teases and lightly taps vara's butt with her palm. "she loves you back. very much." mariko says,starting with a laugh but finishing with a little sigh. she was very content here with vara in the middle of the sea. mariko held vara's cheeks as they kissed,returning it with far more than just lust. after a few moments,the duke started playing "closing time". to which mariko started laughing. gretchen had certainly been working on the duke's computer functions."um vara?" mariko asks softly in the twilight of the early morning. "where will you be going after this little vacation?"

"she wouldnt have cared. she never knew,but she wouldnt have cared. she knew about hitomi. our mom was wonderful." mariko said with a little shrug. her mother had been killed long before mariko was free from her horrible marriage. but both the kobayashi sisters' parents were completely fine with just about anything as long as their daughters were happy. "i wont tell your mom,though." mariko grins after making a little locking motion to her lips. having met the woman,mariko was fairly certain miss gallo knew. "oh!" mariko says looking away briefly before looking back to vara. "i just dont want to lose you out there again. the world out there is huge,this meeting was a one in a million chance .i really missed you. lover,not lover. doesnt really matter. you're my best friend." mariko says with a contented sigh. it was hard to put exactly into words. she liked having vara around in any capacity.

"i think you would have either gotten along very well,or really butted heads. she was a sweet but very fiery woman." mariko says,smiling at her mother's memory. mother kobayashi took no shit from anyone but she was so adorable that usually nobody gave her shit. "that is the way it should be. parents that disown their kids for any reason should be dragged into the street and unceremoniously shot." mariko says with an approving nod of vara's parents. mariko herself neither could have kids or wanted to have kids. but she was very involved in her niece's life so knew what kinds of qualities parents should have. mariko doubted anyone could have imagined that she and vara would be as close as they have become. outside of erica,mariko really wasnt close with anyone until vara came along. vara's words of friendship warmed mariko's heart and mariko hugged her close again. she had vara in her life once more and everything felt great. "when we get old,we'll both be the blanches of the inevitable house we share with erica and nina." mariko laughs. she assumed vara watched the golden girls,who didnt watch the golden girls?! "i guess we could use phones to keep in touch. i think they are used for more than looking up porn and cat memes...or,well the ship is very large and we now have a castle in belgium. i also could always use a collaborator on tours. " mariko says as if she is bribing someone with a dollar and knows how paltry the sum is.

mariko laughs very hard,which causes vara to bounce up and down briefly. " i prefer the term: passionate." mariko says with a little wink. " you are right though. we're both pretty passionate and get along just fine." mariko quips to vara. there were precious few people who really tickled mariko's funny bone like vara. she seemed to always know just what to say to make her laugh. mariko lazily played with vara's hair as they spoke. it was a relaxing thing to do and she knew vara liked it. mariko stretched and takes a deep breath before answering vara's question. "i'm leaving for japan a few days after we finish up in Jamaica. so like early august? cassie has the actual dates." mariko says with a dismissive wave of her other hand. cassie summers really only performed nowadays covering for erica in the harlots or in the girl group side project,the cass-ettes. otherwise,she handled managerial duties for the hess clan. realizing how what she said earlier sounded,mariko quickly started rattling off. "oh, i didnt mean like MOVE in,move in. you know we do communal living,so i meant it more like join the commune,vara. it'll be fun,vara. how do you feel about writing "pig" in blood,vara?" mariko says,eventually taking on a flat emotionless voice . the hesses very much had a hippie commune thing going on,so there was little denying the manson family connection.

"we're hitting japan,korea,Vietnam,and india. then its off to europe,then all matter of states in the usa. it'll be a whirlwind of work and terrible food." mariko says,already exhausted just from the thought of the tour. she had become rather spoiled since becoming successful and wasnt keen to live off gas station hot dogs for months on end. but such were the wages of not wanting to work a real job and one's only real talent being able to carry a tune. "i guess being the shortest,i'll have to be manson. but i dont want a beard. i was married to a man for years. i did my beard time." she giggles. she wasnt sure if the term beard was even used anymore. but she always found the term funny so she was using it. "i think everyone would love you around. even erica whom was kinda bitchy about this...meeting. but she loves you and she knows it." mariko says brightly. between the ship and castle,there was plenty of room to where toes were never stepped on. "belgium is sort of close to italy."mariko says,almost singing while admiring her hickey handiwork. " we can go visit and get ogled by the locals any time."

" one should try to remember those early days on the road,vara. Otherwise you could start throwing phones at assistants." Mariko explained. She probably could do the hiring of a personal chef and all that. But when Mariko was on the road,she wanted all the grit and wildness that went along with it. She saw it as a camping trip where one truly roughed it. Mariko gives a little stroke of where her beard would be in response to vara. There was indeed nothing funny about Mariko's previous life but she felt she had emerged strong enough that taking the occasional piss out of it would erode the power of her past even more. With vara listing off reasons not to to,Mariko knew how to appeal to vara. " oh shit,that's right! Nobody is supposed to know about hitomi. So i guess you can hold that over her head,at least until he's born and goes with his parents." Mariko says slyly with a wink. She has a pretty good idea how vara operates and this tidbit would keep her sister in line. " the kids will give you plenty of space. Your ex girlfriend will too. Except for those times when she just really has to have you." Mariko offers again. Vara was right. It sounded like a crazy idea. There really was nothing Mariko could say to make it sound less crazy. "Um.. Karoliena,Cassie,and Gretchen run a very high end ...i guess you'd call it a sex toy shop from Karoliena's castle. " Mariko adds as if this will be the feature that finally gets vara.

" i could do with a deep fried hot dog or something. at home? hitomi does the shopping and its all organic nonsense. "mariko says with more than a hint of disappointment. off the road,her sister was very into health, at least for the sake of her daughter. there are no juice boxes at castle kobayashi. only fresh made apple juice from the orchard on site. mariko stifles a laugh at vara talking about filling spaces. mariko knew vara knew exactly what she was saying. mariko held up a hand and extend one finger,then two. she raised an eyebrow and let a third raise. then she widened her eyes and held all 5 up. she gives vara dirty giggle before squeezing vara tightly. she loved how vara seemed to bring out the dirty side of her. as a rule,mariko was usually rather subtle in her dirtiness. mariko lights up when vara says she is in. in her mind,she had this pictured going extremely well. there really was no reason vara wouldnt slide right into place. she could see karoliena and cassie being the one's vara would gravitate to. " you know,the sex toy factory always seems to work as a bribe. " mariko laughs and gives a yawn of her own. it had been a long and eventful night. summers time black and blues would be right up vara's ally. high quality,exclusive,and with a price to match. "we never really came up with an initiation. its like the club version of the if you have to ask,you cant afford it. i guess one just knows if they are in." mariko says with a thoughtful look. it really made no sense. there was definitely more to it than just dating someone.

Mariko giggles as she is hugged. Vara probably did take far better care of herself than Mariko did. Mariko only looked the way she did from near constant performing. She burned whatever junk she took in fairly quickly. " better living through chemicals,vara. Cavemen didn't have preservatives. Look at them now" mariko said as if she was an expert on such things. "No!" Mariko shrieks when vara jokes with her. " i don't use..most of what they make. It's a lot of...you know. " Mariko blushes, in spite of being naked with vara currently,and makes a whip cracking motion. While definitely a wild child,Mariko was rather vanilla in her sexual tastes. " I also wouldn't spend that kind of money for random groupies. Karoliena's services aren't cheap." Mariko giggles and loops vara's hair around her finger. With vara wanting details,Mariko had precious few to give. " Let's not sleep on the floor like a couple of street urchins." Mariko says,slowly getting to her feet. There were cabins across the hall. They had lousy views but soft beds. The summers/Kobayashi estate was something vara would just have to see for herself. " i think you'll be fine. You've been my friend for years..i also owe much of my success to you." Mariko grins,holding out her her hands in order to help vara up. " if all else fails,trial by combat." She
Giggles.
