JP - Vodka vs Pheromones

Piritta went to stalk Colt.

Colt eventually found the kitchen and checked for something to drink. Finding vodka, not his favorite choice, he grabbed it and took a seat, drinking it slowly until the bottle was empty. Any on“Shit…” He grumbled and chuckled.

Piritta smacked Colt in the back of the head. “Why are you drinking that Russian piss instead of snorting Tzeitel’s calming pheromones?”

Colt grunted and dropped the bottle to the table. “That fuckin’ hurtsss…” He slurred a little, a bit tipsy but not drunk yet. “I just wanted a drink, damn!”

Lyle walked by and snatched the bottle taking a swig from it " you're right Piritta this does taste like piss."

“Pheromones are so much better though.” Piritta snatched the satchel of pheromones and opened it. “Look at this- so many hits in this little vial.” She held up the vial of calming pheromones. “Tzeitel must love you. She has never given me vials of pheromones. I don’t think she has even given Klaire any vials of pheromones.”

Colt just stared at the vials and sighed. “Yeah, loves me like a brother, remember?” He told her, taking the vial and opening it. He took a small sniff and closed it.

“Joo, too bad. River wrote some cute stories with you two together.” Piritta reached for the vial. “Tzeitel didn’t swear as much in the stories and showed a lot more skin. You did too. You wore a lot of loincloths and nothing else.”

Colt raised an eyebrow. “Uhm…okay,” He said, voice faltering with his emotions going from disturbed to intrigued. It was mainly about Tzeitel showing skin, but he wasn’t about to say that. “I still doubt she’d ever return the feelings I have for her, even to this day. I sleep around to…distract myself.” He shrugged and sighed, letting her have the vial.

“You know, that has never worked out well for you.” Piritta pointed out, snorting from the vial and looked even more relaxed than before. “Maybe you should try wearing a loincloth. Tzeitel probably still won’t love you like that, but she might. And I’d get to see you in a loincloth.”

Colt sputtered. “That was in a fanfiction, Piritta!”

“Well, yeah. But it’s not like it was some slash fanfic written by an idiot where Draco and Harry fall in love. RIver actually knows you two.” Piritta was talking out of her ass, she just wanted to see Colt running around in a loincloth.

“That sounds like complete bullshit,” Colt snorted and grabbed up his bag, taking the vial back from Piritta. Closing it, he shoved it in the bag and went to his room.

Colt would find a box of tampons and a loincloth neatly laid out on his bed.

Piritta chilled until the pheromones wore off, then went looking for coffee.

Abraham had gotten a good amount of sleep and when Piritta came looking for coffee, he remembered her love for it. Filling a thermos he stole from MegaCorp, he closed it and held it out to her the moment she stepped inside the kitchen. “I recalled the type of coffee you like.” He told her.

“Joo, kiitos.” Piritta said, accepting the coffee.

Abraham smiled, happy at least one thing hadn’t changed in his absence. “How have things been with you, Piritta?”

Piritta shrugged. “It’s good that you’re alive again and we got some of our people out of MegaCorp. How have you been, now that you're alive?”

“It was uncomfortable at first since I still have these odd flashes of memory about how I died, yet I cannot consciously remember how it happened. I’ve been well, but I’m glad I no longer have to play pretend for MegaCorp.” Abraham explained.

“Fuck MegaCorp.” Piritta said, raising the coffee.

Abraham nodded in agreement, raising his own mug of coffee.

Piritta drank some of her coffee. “So how are things back at the cabin?”

“Things seem calm for the most part…aside from the children having more energy than a group of puppies.” Abraham chuckled. “Though, I do worry about that woman you lot found on the side of the road. River mentioned that she was Loreen, but that woman seems nothing like the Loreen I remember.”

“Joo, I was surprised Riley didn’t kill her on sight. The Butcher caused him a lot of trouble.” Piritta said. “You really think she’s different?”

“If what I know about MegaCorp, yes,” Abraham answered with a heavy sigh. “They have machines - her own technology that she helped them build - to do things to both humans and metas. I’m positive they used something on her.”

“So she just got what she deserved?” Piritta asked.

“Perhaps, but she has no memory of who she once was or anything she did.” Abraham explained. “She’s a completely different person now.”

“It might be a blessing to not remember what she did.” Piritta said. “She let Canestone do terrible things after she brought him back, and he got loose and did even more… And she tortured Colt.”

Abraham nodded in understanding just as Megan walked into the kitchen.

“There you are,” Megan said. “When are you planning to head back? I want to check on Annie and Anna. Oh, and Joel. He’s been so quiet lately. Makes me wonder if he and Annie are fighting or something.”

“I have doubts about that, but we can return when all are ready.” Abraham replied with a shrug.

“Annie and Joel made enough noise in the hotel to last them a year.” Piritta said, finishing her coffee.
