The owner of that All too Familiar Voice quickly clamped a Hand over Rick’s mouth.
FV: “Hush Now Rick, I’m Happy you remember me, But I can’t have you waking the whole state.”
Rick Calmed for a moment analyzing what was infront of him… He Could have sworn she was a Woman of Asian decent, but every time he blinked. Features just seemed… Off. Once she removed her hand from his Mouth he took a deep breath.
Rick: “… Don’t suppose your just here for a crate of strawberries. So, why are you here?”
FV: “No worries Ricky, I’m not here for your life… I just need a place to stay for a bit.”
Rick: “…What?”
FV: “My you’ve lost your touch Mr. Detective. I’d like to stay in your house for a while.”
Rick: “… I Gave you my word of a Favor… So the deal is already made… But now I just have to ask… Why?”
FV: “This isn’t the first time I’ve found myself being hunted. So I’ve started Narcissus Protocol… I can tell by that blank look on your face you’re lost. Ahem.”
“153 flights have been booked world wide under multiple pseudonyms simultaneously. A rather large red flag. All of them red herrings. I’ve effectively bought myself time and need a place away from work… So I’d thought I’d shack up with a Farmer for a bit.”
Rick: “…Please don’t phrase it like that, also what’s stopping me from just… Sneaking a phone call and getting you arrested?”
FV: " I’m not You, you may address as Leilah Vinitam. And Besides your word? Im a very resourceful woman Rick… I didn’t come empty handed." Patting her duffel bag.
Rick: “Alright… One more Question… What is going on with your face?”
Leilah: “Oh Rick… Don’t stare so hard… I’ll get Pregnant.”
Rick: “No…nonono, I mean… I Swear your eyes were Deep woodsy Brown, and now I’m looking at Bright Spring leaves, how are you doing that?”
Leilah: “Silver Tongued as always, is this a Summer romance?”
Rick: “Stop. That.”
Leilah: “Oh fine, R&D Cosmetics. It’ll take a while to explain.”
Rick: “Makeup, got it. Say no more… Okay there are some rules to live here.”
-
I’m not your Butler. Clean up after Yourself.
-
I find any trace of you Experimenting on my Fluffs, you’re out.
-
For My Sake, Please. Do. Not. Get. Caught.
Word gets out you’re staying under my roof, Mary will use my Ballsack as a Coinpurse.
Leilah: “…Fine, but it’s not just Makeup, it’s a-”
Rick: “Cool, Awesome, Outstanding, I’m naked, Please look away so I can get inside and get dressed before the Herd starts to wake up.”
Leilah: “Oh…”
The First day is always the Hardest. The days work was thrown Completely off its Flow thanks to the new element on the ranch. Rick spent most of it denying the questions of wether or not he had a new special friend.
The Night wasn’t any easier… As soon as Dinner was done she popped into the shower while Rick fed the fluffs. Only for him to Return to her sound asleep in his bed, his trio of House fluffs similarly out of luck. He set up a Deck Chair and slept outside with Maggie, Malta and Guinness. A Warm fluffpile on top of his blanket.
Rick: “Live on the Farm, Work on the Farm.” Handing Leilah a Pair of Gloves and a Basket.
Leilah: “…You can’t be serious.”
Rick: “Deathly. You hogging the bed left me with a shitty sleep and a Fucked up Back. You’re picking the strawberries today. Besides I need to go into Town for a Bit. The Tochvíl’s are having some issues, their Fluff is Pregnant, and they have no Idea what to do.”
Leilah: “Then Take me with! I Reverse engineered these things, I can deliver a Baby!”
Rick: “Your Voice has Haunted these peoples nightmares for 2 months, no way.”
L: “Alors je n’utiliserai pas ma voix.”
Rick: “…French. Uhh… Alright… Alright Fine! But no English! Your story is… You’re a Friend I know from when I was Living in the City, you’re Visiting because… Fuck If I know, we’ll figure it out on the way.”
