DRAMATIS PERSONAE FOR ACT THREE
Setting: The office of Dr. Lon C. Haney.
Cardaniel80: (Jayne is shown into an examining room in Dr. Lon Haney's office by his receptionist.) Thantasy: [Jayne] Thank you. <takes a seat on the examining table> Thantasy: [Jayne] <Moving slowly, ribs still just a little tender.> Cardaniel80: (She mentally twiddles her thumbs, reads the "Early signs of heart disease" poster.) Thantasy: [Jayne] <Has been rather tired, knows that it's a matter of energy being channeled into healing> Thantasy: [Jayne] <Rather anxious to get back to her life, however...> Thantasy: [Jayne] <She will be more tolerant of patients in the future> Cardaniel80: (Hears Lon's voice outside the door. "Set Mrs. Grimes up for an appointment in two weeks.") Thantasy: [Jayne] <Straightens up, tries to look perky> Cardaniel80: (Door opens, Lon comes in breezily) Well, Miss Harrison... uhhhhh, Jayne, isn't it? (Smirking) Thantasy: [Jayne] Yes, as if! Thantasy: [Jayne] <Smiles> Thantasy: [Jayne] You do remember me, I hope. <smiling> Cardaniel80: [Lon] Oh, yes, I remember you. Attitude problem, et cetera. Thantasy: [Jayne] Attitude? Well, I guess I do need some latitude for my attitude. Cardaniel80: [Lon] How have you been feeling? You better still be a little sore, or I operated on a space alien. Thantasy: [Jayne] No, perfectly normal earth woman with aches and pains where she got sliced open from her neck to her navel. Thantasy: [Jayne] I think I'll have to skip the Boston Marathon this year. Thantasy: [Jayne] But then, I've skipped it every year so far! Cardaniel80: [Lon] Oh, the little zipper, yeah. You've got a new deeper appreciation for surgical jargon now, don't you? Thantasy: [Jayne] Well, yes. Cardaniel80: [Lon] Speaking of that, I better take a look. Off with your blouse (He gestures, smiling) Thantasy: [Jayne] Sure. Cardaniel80: [Lon] Quite all right, Miss, I'm a doctor. Thantasy: [Jayne] <Opens her blouse, but has difficulty with the sleeves.> Thantasy: [Jayne] Do I have to take it all the way off? Cardaniel80: [Lon] (Reaches up to help her slip the blouse off her shoulders.) The better to see you, my dear. Thantasy: [Jayne] Thanks! Thantasy: [Jayne] <How many times had he helped her in the past, in a different setting!> Thantasy: [Jayne] I still have a little problem getting used to looking at myself, but I'm sure I'll get used to it -- as the scar heals. Cardaniel80: [Lon] (Smiling) You haven't changed, you know. Except for that BEEEEG line running from top to bottom. Thantasy: [Jayne] <laughs> Thantasy: [Jayne] It's nice to be able to laugh without pain again. Thantasy: [Jayne] Well, how do I look? Cardaniel80: [Lon] Sometimes I'm so glad I picked this job. Electrical engineers don't get to see nearly so many boobs. You remember I almost majored in that. Thantasy: [Jayne] Yes. A great loss to the field when you opted for medicine! Thantasy: [Jayne] I'm sure you would have been a wizard with wires. Thantasy: [Jayne] <Boobs? Just a little to familiar, but, oh well.> Cardaniel80: [Lon] (Reaches out and very gently lifts her right breast, pulling it slightly to the side to get a better look at the scar.) I like the no bra look, by the way. You don't need one. Thantasy: [Jayne] Not yet, at least! Thanks! Thantasy: [Jayne] I can use a few compliments these days. Thantasy: [Jayne] But don't get carried away with them. Cardaniel80: [Lon] Probably got way out of the bra habit after the surgery, hey? It would irritate like hell. Thantasy: [Jayne] You speak as if you've had personal experience. You haven't ...... changed a lot, since college, have you? <smiling> Cardaniel80: [Lon] (Rubbing his fingers unnecessarily along the soft skin on the underside of her breast.) You know me, I never get carried away. Thantasy: [Jayne] I never did see you as a cross-dresser. Thantasy: [Jayne] <Emmmm, that touch! Hold yourself, dear!> Cardaniel80: [Lon] (Smiling) Nooo, I just know from professional experience. Any idea how many post-op patients I've seen? Thantasy: [Jayne] No, how many? Cardaniel80: [Lon] (Looks up as if counting) Uhhh, 143. 76 of them women. None of the men wore bras either. Thantasy: [Jayne] Glad to hear it. Thantasy: [Jayne] <smiling> Cardaniel80: [Lon] Now that you're getting up and around, what about dinner some night? (Looks closely along the length of the scar, feeling it with the tips of his fingers.) Thantasy: [Jayne] <She does feel a slight tension, but it probably has as much to do with her as with him.> Thantasy: [Jayne] Well, I should check with Rick before I extend any invitations. He's doing most of the cooking these days. Cardaniel80: [Lon] Hmmm, well, I had my place in mind, actually. Thantasy: [Jayne] Oh. Thantasy: [Jayne] <Something tells her that Rick would not be welcome to come along> Thantasy: [Jayne] I, I don't know what to say.... Cardaniel80: [Lon] (Fingering her breasts again, apparently absent-mindedly.) Thantasy: [Jayne] I am still very tired in the evenings.... Thantasy: [Jayne] I drop off at about 8. Cardaniel80: [Lon] Oh, yeah. That'll go away soon. You'll feel yourself in a few more weeks. Thantasy: [Jayne] I'm not much of a social animal these days. Thantasy: [Jayne] Rick has been babying me. Thantasy: [Jayne] And I've really appreciated it. Cardaniel80: [Lon] (Smiling) Well, gave it a shot. Nothing ventured, nothing gained, and no hard feelings. And you may feel different when you feel better. Here, you can put your blouse back again. (Genuinely doesn't appear mad.) Cardaniel80: [Lon] (Helps her get it over her shoulders.) Thantasy: [Jayne] Thanks. So, I'm good to go? Thantasy: [Jayne] Healing process seems to be going okay? Cardaniel80: [Lon] Good for today, yeah. Want to see you back here in three weeks. Oh, still not cleared for strenuous activity, of course. I'll let you know on that. Thantasy: [Jayne] Well. I don't mind a rest. Thantasy: [Jayne] However, I will be glad to be back up to par. Thantasy: [Jayne] Enforced celibacy is, well, something of a drag. Thantasy: [Jayne] <Ooops! BITE your TONGUE!> Thantasy: [Jayne] <don't give him any ideas> Cardaniel80: [Lon] Back to work a week from Monday. Half-days. I'll tell the doctors to be nice to you. Nice change, eh? Thantasy: [Jayne] Well, it is ..... different. Thantasy: [Jayne] Rick and I have found some wonderful ways of showing tenderness, though. Thantasy: [Jayne] Low-impact tenderness. Cardaniel80: [Lon] (Smiling) Well, I'll make sure you slip back into sexual frenzy in a measured way. Thantasy: [Jayne] Yes, at the moment, I think it will be by micrometers. Thantasy: [Jayne] I'll get an appointment for three weeks from now, then. Cardaniel80: [Lon] (Rubs her thigh in a friendly way.) Tell Jennifer I said three weeks, on your way out. She'll set you up. Thantasy: [Jayne] And, Lon..... Thantasy: [Jayne] I do want to thank you. Thantasy: [Jayne] I know patients always say that. Thantasy: [Jayne] Now I know that they mean it. Cardaniel80: [Lon] Why, shucks ma'am, just doin' my job. Thantasy: [Jayne] I am grateful to you for, well, I guess saving my life. Thantasy: [Jayne] I don't want to get melodramatic, but..... Thantasy: [Jayne] well, thanks. Cardaniel80: [Lon] (Smiles) I do get some job satisfaction. Anyway, remember, when you feel better: dinner. Thantasy: [Jayne] Um, sure. Cardaniel80: [Lon] (Still rubbing her thigh.) Thantasy: [Jayne] <Trying hard not to notice his attentions> Thantasy: [Jayne] <gets up slowly> Cardaniel80: [Lon] Need help? Thantasy: [Jayne] No, I'm fine. Cardaniel80: [Lon] (Takes her hand to help her stand.) Thantasy: [Jayne] Thank you. Thantasy: [Jayne] Well, see you in three weeks. Thantasy: [Jayne] <feels glad to be leaving> Cardaniel80: [Lon] You'll feel more like yourself again. Trust me. Thantasy: [Jayne] Yes, I'm sure. Cardaniel80: [Lon] (Looks for a moment as if he's about to kiss her, but doesn't.) Thantasy: [Jayne] I don't know who I've been feeling like, but I am a little sorry for them, whoever they are. Thantasy: [Jayne] <feels the tension, the hesitation> Cardaniel80: [Lon] Whoever you've been, you look great, anyway. Thantasy: [Jayne] <after all, this is doctor-patient> Thantasy: [Jayne] Thanks! Thantasy: [Jayne] Again, don't overdo those compliments. Thantasy: [Jayne] Well, bye for now. <opens door> Cardaniel80: [Lon] I've saved some up. Haven't used any lately. Cardaniel80: (Jayne has made her appointment, comes out and sees her friend in the waiting room.) Thantasy: [Jayne] Hi. Thanks for waiting. Cardaniel80: [Friend] That didn't take long.... (sees her expression, becomes concerned) Everything okay, Jayne? Thantasy: [Jayne] Oh, yes. Everything's fine. I'm on the mend. Thantasy: [Jayne] I have another appointment in three weeks. Thantasy: [Jayne] I might be able to drive by then. Thantasy: [Jayne] Yes, everything is fine. Cardaniel80: [Friend] (Looking relieved but slightly skeptical) You look like you got bad news... I could call Rick if you need me to. Thantasy: [Jayne] No, no bad news. Thantasy: [Jayne] I just..... Thantasy: [Jayne] <They are leaving the building.>.... Cardaniel80: [Friend] (Still concerned) Yes? Thantasy: [Jayne] <Waits until they are out of the building.> Thantasy: [Jayne] I just feel like, well, the doctor is interested in me...romantically. You know, we were an item when we were in college. Cardaniel80: [Friend] (Eyes widen) Are you sure? I don't mean about college, I mean now. Thantasy: [Jayne] He wants me to have dinner with him. Thantasy: [Jayne] He knows that I'm involved. Thantasy: [Jayne] If we didn't have that history,....and even if we do..... Thantasy: [Jayne] this kind of thing..... Thantasy: [Jayne] well, it doesn't belong in doctor-patient relationships. Cardaniel80: [Friend] Well, we all think he's a little bit of an asshole. Good surgeon but a jerk. Thantasy: [Jayne] Really, is that his reputation? Cardaniel80: [Friend] Oh, just feelings and rumors. You know. Thantasy: [Jayne] I guess I've deliberately avoided keeping track of him. Thantasy: [Jayne] What kind of rumors? Cardaniel80: [Friend] Look, if anything does happen, you'll report him, right? Oh, like he goes out with patients, stuff like that. Nothing for sure. Thantasy: [Jayne] Well, I don't want to cause him any trouble.... Thantasy: [Jayne] I mean he has, well, saved my life... Thantasy: [Jayne] as he says, he was just doing his job, but it still counts. Cardaniel80: [Friend] Oh, and one of his nurses quit a couple of weeks ago. Not too long after your surgery, actually. Nobody's talked to her since, so we don't know why. Thantasy: [Jayne] Oh! Thantasy: [Jayne] Why hasn't anybody talked to her? Did she leave town? Cardaniel80: [Friend] Well, I understand you feeling grateful, but don't let him get away with anything, okay? It's bad for all of us. Yes, she must have left town. Now, it could be totally innocent. Family troubles, something like that. Thantasy: [Jayne] That is odd, though. Thantasy: [Jayne] Most of us are pretty career-minded. Not given to abrupt departures. I wonder..... Thantasy: [Jayne] why she left? Cardaniel80: (They're in the car now, still talking.) Thantasy: [Jayne] I mean, Lon -- Dr. Haney -- has a very good practice. Cardaniel80: [Friend] Yeah, it is pretty strange, but you work in the hospital long enough you get immune to strangeness. Thantasy: [Jayne] Well, don't forget, I've been off for three weeks. Thantasy: [Jayne] Some of the immunity may have worn off. Cardaniel80: [Friend] Oh, he's good, no doubt about that. Thantasy: [Jayne] I don't know why, but that does make me curious. Thantasy: [Jayne] I really do have to get back to work! The idle mind is the....... Thantasy: [Jayne] <Hesitates.> Thantasy: [Jayne] devil's workshop. Thantasy: [Jayne] <Something about that phrase makes her shudder> Cardaniel80: [Friend] Well, I'll let you know if I hear anything. It wasn't a big deal, but putting it together with this makes me start wondering, you know? Thantasy: [Jayne] Yes, please do. Thantasy: [Jayne] I mean, he is my doctor, after all. Cardaniel80: [Friend] (Pulls into driveway) Home sweet home! Need any help getting in? Thantasy: [Jayne] MMMmmmm. Why not? Thantasy: [Jayne] I'm an invalid. <laughs> Thantasy: [Jayne] Sure, open the car door and walk me to my front door. Thantasy: [Jayne] I deserve pampering. Thantasy: [Jayne] <Walking to the house> Thantasy: [Jayne] By the way, what was the nurse's name? The one who quit? Cardaniel80: [Friend] Christine. Christine Jenkins. Thantasy: [Jayne] Okay. Thantasy: [Jayne] Well, thanks for seeking me to the door. See you when I get back to work. Thantasy: [Jayne] <Watches her walk back to her car, then enters house and immediately grabs a pen and paper.> Thantasy: [Jayne] <writes down name, Christine Jenkins> Thantasy: [Jayne] <tired, sits down in chair,> Thantasy: [Jayne] <looks in phone book,> Thantasy: [Jayne] <finds several Jenkins, C entries.> Thantasy: [Jayne] <Fumbles in desk drawer for list of hospital staff numbers...> Thantasy: [Jayne] <finds the right C. Jenkins> Thantasy: [Jayne] Why am I doing this? Thantasy: [Jayne] I really don't have a good excuse.... Thantasy: [Jayne] <Thinks for a moment.> Well, yes... Thantasy: [Jayne] Okay, that would work. Thantasy: [Jayne] <dials the number and finds......> Cardaniel80: (Beep) the number you have dialed, 555-9742, has been disconnected. Thantasy: [Jayne] Hmmmm. Thantasy: [Jayne] Oh, well.... Thantasy: [Jayne] <Turns on television....> Thantasy: [Jayne] <The television is tuned to Turner Classic Movies (TCM)> Thantasy: [TCM host Robert Osborne] Our star of the month, this month is.... Thantasy: [Osborne] Lon Chaney, Jr. Thantasy: [Osborne] Next up, we have three of his lesser-known films..... Thantasy: [Osborne] PASSION Thantasy: [Osborne] HERE COME THE COEDS Thantasy: [Osborne] and Thantasy: [Osborne] WIFE, DOCTOR AND NURSE. Thantasy: [Osborne] Stick around for these three films featuring our star of the month.... Thantasy: [Jayne] Don't think so! Thantasy: [Jayne] <Switches to American Movie Classics (AMC)> Thantasy: [Jayne] <Turns down volume> Thantasy: [Jayne] <Dials the phone again, this time calling the hospital personnel office.> Thantasy: [Jayne] <When the secretary answers> Hi, this is Jayne Harrison. Thantasy: [Jayne] I understand that while I've been off with my surgery.... Thantasy: [Jayne] a nurse that I borrowed a book from left the hospital.... Thantasy: [Jayne] Her phone's been disconnected and I do want to return the book.... Thantasy: [Jayne] sort of like Abe Lincoln, trudging through the snow, you know.... Cardaniel80: [Personnel Secretary] Oh! Okay, what's her name? Thantasy: [Jayne] Christine Jenkins. Thantasy: [Jayne] Did she leave a forwarding address? Cardaniel80: [Secretary] Oh, Christine! She quit about two weeks or so ago. Just left a letter of resignation and didn't come back. No, no address. Her letter said she had a very ill relative in Illinois. Didn't say where, exactly. Thantasy: [Jayne] Oh, Thantasy: [Jayne] Well, I guess she can get in touch with me if she wants the book back badly enough. Thantasy: [Jayne] Thanks. Cardaniel80: [Secretary] I'm sorry. She has a final check coming, so I'm sure we'll hear from her before long. Want to leave a message? Thantasy: [Jayne] Sure. Just tell her to call me -- but don't mention anything about the book...... Thantasy: [Jayne] because...... Thantasy: [Jayne] I don't want to seem anal-retentive, you know. Cardaniel80: [Secretary] Uhh, sure. I'll just write "Call Jayne Harrison" on here, okay? Thantasy: [Jayne] <God, that was dumb!!!!!> Yes. Thantasy: [Jayne] Thanks. Bye. Cardaniel80: [Secretary] Bye! (Smiling voice) (Click) Thantasy: [Jayne] <Hangs up phone> Thantasy: [Jayne] Boy, Nancy Drew, I'm not. Thantasy: [Jayne] "I don't want to seem anal retentive"???????? Thantasy: [Jayne] "Abe Lincoln trudging through the snow." Thantasy: [Jayne] <Turns volume back up.> Thantasy: [Robert Osborne] .....a real laugh riot with a touch of spookiness.... Thantasy: [Osborne] ABBOTT AND COSTELLO MEET FRANKENSTEIN, starring, along with Bud and Lou, Bela Lugosi and Lon Chaney, Jr. Thantasy: [Jayne] <Switches off tv.> Thantasy: [Jayne] I think I'll go take a nap! Thantasy: [Jayne] <Gets up, heads for bed.> End of Scene i
Setting: The bedroom of Rick and Jayne.
Thantasy: <Jayne and Rick sitting cross-legged on bed, knees touching> Thantasy: <Incense burning> Thantasy: <book on Tantra beside them on the bed> Thantasy: <because she is self conscious about her scar, Jayne has a white silk scarf draped around her neck and between her breasts.> Thantasy: <To be sympathetic, Rick is wearing the same.> Thantasy: <Jayne has a cup of wine in her hands> Thantasy: <Jayne sips from the cup.> Thantasy: [Jayne] Now, I pass the cup to you.....<does so> Thantasy: [Jayne] You sip from it and pass it back to me..... Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Takes it in both hands, with an air of ritual.) Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Takes a good sip and passes it back.) Thantasy: [Jayne] I take a sip and pass it back to you.... Thantasy: [Jayne] You take a sip and pass it back to me..... Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Smiles, sips.) Thantasy: [Jayne] Now, remember, stare into my eyes.... Thantasy: [Jayne] See my female soul within.... Cardaniel80: [Rick] I don't want to look anywhere else anyway. Thantasy: [Jayne] and see your own masculine strength reflected in my eyes..... Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Looks adoringly in her eyes, sees love there.) Thantasy: [Jayne] Now we sit like this for a half an hour.... Thantasy: [Jayne] Just a second, I'll set the timer..... Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Concentrating on keeping his erection down. Down boy!) Thantasy: [Jayne] <reaches over to night stand, sets timer> Thantasy: <they sit> Thantasy: <and sit> Thantasy: <and sit> Thantasy: <and sit> Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Imagines her older, 50, 60. Living his life with her.) Thantasy: [Jayne] <after fifteen minutes> Is this working for you? Cardaniel80: [Rick] Mmmm? Tell what it does and I'll tell you if it's doing it. Thantasy: [Jayne] Our passions are seething. Thantasy: [Jayne] Mine are seething. Are yours? Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Smiling) Yesss.... Thantasy: [Jayne] Good. Thantasy: [Jayne] <They sit some more> Thantasy: [Jayne] <and sit> Cardaniel80: [Rick] You better not tell me I need to jerk off after this.... Thantasy: [Jayne] <Ignores his comment -- is staring into his masculine soul.> Thantasy: [Jayne] <Finally the timer goes off.> Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Looks at her face, trying to see her as a stranger, seeing her loveliness.) Thantasy: [Jayne] Whew... I mean, time flies, doesn't it? Thantasy: [Jayne] Now, we may begin an embrace in prone position.... Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Closes his eyes.) Every part of me feels connected to you, darling. Is that the idea? Thantasy: [Jayne] Yes!!!! By George, I think you've got it! Cardaniel80: [Rick] I could really get used to this (Grinning, moves towards her.) Thantasy: [Jayne] Now, our embrace will be intimate, but chaste -- whatever that means. Cardaniel80: [Rick] Well, I know your limitations, so I think I get the idea. Thantasy: [Jayne] I guess among other things, it means your lingam will not come into contact with my yoni. Cardaniel80: [Rick] I'll need to wear gingham over my lingam or something. Thantasy: [Jayne] But instead you will press it up against my lower abdomen. No, in the picture, there isn't any fabric. Thantasy: [Jayne] <Moves into position.> Cardaniel80: [Rick] Oh, well, lower abdomen, okay. I wasn't sure I was supposed to get THAT close. Thantasy: [Jayne] Now, instead of me encircling you with my legs, we press our thighs together... Thantasy: [Jayne] You cradle my head on your left arm. Thantasy: [Jayne] I cradle your head on my right arm... Thantasy: [Jayne] and we continue to stare into each other's eyes.... Cardaniel80: [Rick] Hmmm, with my cock against your tummy? I think I get it. Sounds verrrrry nice. Thantasy: [Jayne] You may move very gently..... Thantasy: [Jayne] Just a second <reaches over and grabs book> Thantasy: [Jayne] "as a snail butting up against a monolith" Thantasy: [Jayne] Well, a soft monolith. Cardaniel80: [Rick] I'm the snail? Thantasy: [Jayne] Hard to think of you that way, but, yes. Thantasy: [Jayne] I think the idea is slow, patient movements.... Thantasy: [Jayne] Nothing radical. Thantasy: [Jayne] Jeez! That's some snail you've got there! Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Looking at her eyes, feeling her soft body against his.) I vote we keep this up about ten hours. Brave words, huh? Thantasy: [Jayne] Actually -- that's what the book recommends. Cardaniel80: [Rick] Obviously they've tried this out. This is really nice, sweety. Thantasy: [Jayne] Yes, I think they've been doing this for a couple thousand years. Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Moves against her with a very slow, gentle rhythm.) Cardaniel80: [Rick] A thousand years! Well, if you'll let me get up to pee every now and then... Thantasy: [Jayne] <after a while> You know, really, this isn't bad. Thantasy: [Jayne] Actually, I'm, well, creaming a little. Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Whispering) Noooo, bad isn't the word I'd think of at all. Thantasy: [Jayne] Now, I could give you some head. I think I'm up to that. Cardaniel80: [Rick] Let's give this an hour. I should be absolutely bonkers by then, but I want to really give this a shot. But let's finish up with that, yeah. Thantasy: [Jayne] Okay. Thantasy: [Jayne] Oh, by the way..... Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Still looking in her eyes, feeling her pressed against every inch of his skin.) Thantasy: [Jayne] I was thinking of inviting Mavis over next Friday night.... Cardaniel80: [Rick] Sure, sweety, she'd be welcome anytime. Thantasy: [Jayne] Good. Thantasy: [Jayne] Actually....... Thantasy: [Jayne] I was sort of thinking of..... Thantasy: [Jayne] making it a sleep-over thing..... Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Hand caressing the back of her neck) Thantasy: [Jayne] like she and I used to do when we were teenagers.... Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Snickers) What, miss your high school days? Thantasy: [Jayne] Well, sort of. Cardaniel80: [Rick] I guess she can sleep on the pull-out couch. Thantasy: [Jayne] It's the Friday before Halloween and one of the classic movie channels is showing a whole bunch of old horror films. Thantasy: [Jayne] Mavis and I used to spend some Saturday nights watching movies like that. Cardaniel80: [Rick] Oh, hey, that sounds great! I'll get some microwave popcorn. Thantasy: [Jayne] <Strokes Rick's hair> I love you! Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Leans his forehead against hers, rubbing his balls just above her pussy.) I love you, Jayne. Thantasy: [Jayne] <She wants to tell him what she has in mind, but does not want to ruin this moment.> Cardaniel80: [Rick] Do we get to kiss at all here? Thantasy: [Jayne] <He is so understanding, and so patient.> Kissing? Thantasy: [Jayne] Yes, I think we can do that. Thantasy: [Jayne] but.... Thantasy: [Jayne] chaste kisses.... Cardaniel80: [Rick] Is that against the rules? Oh, good (Smiling, gently kisses her lips.) Thantasy: [Jayne] like the dragonfly landing on the lotus blossom. Cardaniel80: [Rick] I get it. Keeping tongue to myself. Thantasy: [Jayne] I'll be the blossom you be the fly. Thantasy: [Jayne] Ah! Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Lets his lips just barely, barely touch hers.) Thantasy: [Jayne] Okay, now I'll be the fly and you be the blossom. Thantasy: [Jayne] Mmmmmm. Cardaniel80: [Rick] The male blossom, of course. Thantasy: [Jayne] Isn't nature wonderful! Yes, a very he-manly bloosom.... Thantasy: [Jayne] wearing metal spikes and leather. Cardaniel80: [Rick] (His he-manly erection gradually swells.) Thantasy: [Jayne] Mmmmmm. Thantasy: [Jayne] Now, although in the book, they don't get to this for another five chapters..... Cardaniel80: [Rick] Oh, but we're very advanced students.... Thantasy: [Jayne] I think it's time for me to engulf your lingam with my oral orifice...... Cardaniel80: [Rick] Okay, yes, a little skim reading is in order here. Thantasy: [Jayne] Yes. Thantasy: [Jayne] We'll pretend were craming for finals. Thantasy: [Jayne] <Lowers herself, takes him lovingly into her mouth.> Cardaniel80: [Rick] Mmmmm, but slowly (Smiling) Thantasy: [Jayne] <He is so tender, so patient.> Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Closes eyes.) Ohhhhh...... Thantasy: [Jayne] <She hopes to repay his kindness in times to come.> Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Whispering) Oh, welcome back, honey, that feels so great.... Thantasy: [Jayne] <She hopes, however, to provide him some relief on Friday night.> Thantasy: [Jayne] <She slowly raises and lowers her lips on his cock...> Thantasy: [Jayne] <Feels his passion mount.> Thantasy: [Jayne] <She is becoming aroused herself, but controls it....> Cardaniel80: [Rick] (He holds the sides of her head with his hands, not guiding her, just wanting to feel her movement in all parts of him.) Thantasy: [Jayne] <She wants to be around to love him for a long, long time.> Thantasy: [Jayne] <She lets her mind focus elsewhere to keep from getting too involved.> Cardaniel80: [Rick] (He wants this to go on forever, but it's been so long.... he feels himself getting closer....) Thantasy: [Jayne] <She hasn't heard from Christine or from the hospital personnel office....> Thantasy: [Jayne] <She could wait until she goes back to work, but.....> Thantasy: [Jayne] <it might be a good idea to call tomorrow.....> Cardaniel80: [Rick] (He keeps his hands gentle on her head, but inside the pressure is rising quickly....) Thantasy: [Jayne] <and that thought takes her to thoughts of Lon.....> Thantasy: [Jayne] <which she dismisses....> Thantasy: [Jayne] <Focuses on the plan for Friday night.....> Thantasy: [Jayne] <Feels him swelling> Cardaniel80: [Rick] Uhhh..... uhhhhhhhhh..... (Closes eyes tightly, very close now.) Thantasy: [Jayne] <Hears that slight difference in his breathing that means he is close.> Thantasy: [Jayne] <Trying to keep her distance...she works to bring him to climax.> Thantasy: [Jayne] <He is so wonderful!> Cardaniel80: [Rick] Huhhh-NNNNGGHHHHH!!!!!! (He feels the burst of his seed travelling up the whole length of his cock, in slow motion, spurting into his lover's mouth.) Thantasy: [Jayne] <He deserves the best she can give!> Thantasy: [Jayne] <She tastes him!> Thantasy: [Jayne] <Oh, God, this was an explosion!> Thantasy: [Jayne] <So much passion and love in this man!> Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Jets of seed fill her mouth, coating her tongue, and the way to the sides.) Thantasy: [Jayne] <She swallows him eagerly!> Thantasy: [Jayne] <So looking forward to when they can resume their normal love life.> Thantasy: [Jayne] <In the meantime, there is no real reason for him to suffer.> Cardaniel80: [Rick] (He loves her so much! He loves knowing she will swallow part of him and keep it inside her.) Thantasy: [Jayne] <No reason for Mavis to suffer either! She has been just as patient, just as loving.> Thantasy: [Jayne] <I'll get these two suffering souls together.> Thantasy: [Jayne] <The least I can do for two such wonderful people.> Cardaniel80: [Rick] (His flow is starting to subside, as he still feels waves of pleasure and love flowing through him.) Thantasy: [Jayne] <She strokes his ass lovingly with her hand.> Cardaniel80: [Rick] (He strokes her hair, her shoulders) I love you! (Whispered) Thantasy: [Jayne] <Squeezes him, like squeezing a fruit -- getting the fullness of the juice> Thantasy: [Jayne] <She swallows again, raises up to him> Thantasy: [Jayne] I love you too. Thantasy: [Jayne] I'm feeling stronger every day. Thantasy: [Jayne] It won't be long, my love! Cardaniel80: [Rick] I wish I could get you off! We can't do that yet. I want to do for you what you just did for me. Thantasy: [Jayne] You will owe me a few -- if we're keeping score. Cardaniel80: [Rick] I'll get caught up in no time (Grinning, panting) Thantasy: [Jayne] <Strokes him> Thantasy: [Jayne] I do love you! Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Still stroking her hair) I love you too! Thantasy: [Jayne] <Snuggles into him -- not according to any pictures in the book!> Thantasy: [Jayne] <Just the way that seems most natural!> Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Lays down beside her, his arms folding around her.) Thantasy: [Jayne] Good night, dear! Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Kissing her gently) Good night, honey. Love you. Thantasy: [Jayne] <drifts off to sleep> Thantasy: [Jayne] <the hand now closes the door behind> Thantasy: [Jayne] <the footsteps move away from the door> Thantasy: [Jayne] <behind the door, something is different.....> Thantasy: [Jayne] <things are not as they were> Thantasy: [Jayne] <there has been a disturbance.....> Thantasy: [Jayne] <the house should tremble!> End of Scene ii
Setting: Rick and Jayne's house.
Thantasy: <The next morning, Jayne decides to call Mavis.> Thantasy: [Jayne] <Turns down tv while dialing phone -- getting a little fed up with TCM's star of the month> Thantasy: [Mavis] Hello? Thantasy: [Jayne] Hi! Thantasy: [Mavis] Jayne! How are you? Thantasy: [Jayne] Doing fine. Thantasy: [Mavis] How are things with Rick? Thantasy: [Jayne] Great. Except, of course, that we can't have his lingam touching my yoni yet. Thantasy: [Mavis] His how much touching your what? Thantasy: [Mavis] Are you talking dirty and I don't even know it? Thantasy: [Jayne] Yes, I'm speaking Tantraese. Thantasy: [Mavis] Oh, I get it. Thantasy: [Mavis] Well, I miss your yoda or whatever, too. Thantasy: [Jayne] That's kinda why I called. Thantasy: [Mavis] Oh Thantasy: [Jayne] How would you like to come over Friday night for an old-fashioned sleep-over, like we had when we were kids? Thantasy: [Mavis] Sure -- that sounds great! Uh, just like when we were kids????? Thantasy: [Jayne] Well, no. This time there will be a boy with us! Thantasy: [Mavis] Oh, yeah, okay. Thantasy: [Jayne] Well, AMC is showing a whole bunch of horror flicks that night Thantasy: [Jayne] and, well, with what's been going on with me lately, I really, you know, have developed an appreciation of what I've got and where I've been and who I've been there with. Thantasy: [Mavis] You getting mushy on me? Thantasy: [Jayne] Yeah, kinda. Is that okay? Thantasy: [Mavis] Sure Thantasy: [Jayne] Anyway, I thought it would be nice to have a night like we used to....and I think Rick will enjoy it, too. Thantasy: [Mavis] Well, okay. I'll even bring my pink jammies Thantasy: [Jayne] <Laughs> Oh, and bring something else, too. Bring Edgar. Thantasy: [Mavis] <Very surprised> Are you sure?????????? Thantasy: [Jayne] Yes, what would a night together be for us without Edgar? Thantasy: [Mavis] But, uh, Jayne..... Thantasy: [Mavis] don't you think Rick will mind? Thantasy: [Jayne] Mavis, I think it's time Rick found out all about us.... Thantasy: [Jayne] including Edgar and what Edgar means to us. Thantasy: [Mavis] Well, uh, okay. If you're sure..... Thantasy: [Mavis] I mean, do you think, considering your condition, bringing Edgar is a good idea????????? Thantasy: [Jayne] I don't think it will be a problem. In fact, I think Edgar might be good for me. Thantasy: [Mavis] You don't think Rick will be jealous?????? Thantasy: [Jayne] No, I'm sure he'll handle it. He's not a jealous type. Thantasy: [Mavis] Well, okay. If you say so. Thantasy: [Jayne] Trust me. Thantasy: [Mavis] Are you going to tell him about Edgar? What he means to us???? Thantasy: [Jayne] No. I'll let it be a surprise. Thantasy: [Mavis] Hmmmm. I'm sure Edgar will be quite a surprise to him. Thantasy: [Mavis] Are you sure you don't want Rick to have a heart problem? Thantasy: [Jayne] Trust me. Thantasy: [Mavis] Well, okay. Thantasy: [Mavis] I'll be sure and drive carefully though. Thantasy: [Mavis] I wouldn't want to get stopped by a cop with Edgar on the seat beside me. It could be hard to explain. Thantasy: [Jayne] Well, keep a towel handy to toss over Edgar then, or something. Thantasy: [Jayne] But drive carefully anyway. Thantasy: [Jayne] I ..... don't want anything to happen to you. Thantasy: [Mavis] Okay. Thantasy: [Mavis] I'll see you Friday -- when about six? Thantasy: [Jayne] Yes, that sounds good. Thantasy: [Mavis] Me and my pink jammies and .... Thantasy: [Mavis] Edgar. Thantasy: [Jayne] Great! Thantasy: [Mavis] Bye. Thantasy: [Jayne] Bye. Thantasy: [Jayne] <Turns up tv, watches THE INDESTRUCTIBLE MAN featuring the star of the month, Lon Chaney, Jr. End of Scene iii
Setting: Rick and Jayne's house.
Thantasy: <It's Friday night. Mavis is a little late; it's already getting dark.> Thantasy: <Jayne keeps looking out the window -- hopes that Mavis didn't have a premonition about getting stopped by a cop.> Thantasy: <Mavis has been known to have such things.> Cardaniel80: [Rick] She'd call if anything happened, right? (He knows her, but not REAL well.) Thantasy: [Jayne] Oh, there's her car! Thantasy: [Jayne] You get the door, I've got something just about to come out of the oven. Thantasy: [Mavis] <In the near dark and through the curtain in the window of the door, Mavis appears to have come in costume as a two-headed woman.> Cardaniel80: [Rick] Sure (Opens door) Hey! Glad you could come. This all sounds like fun. Thantasy: [Mavis] <Mavis enters with a big black bird on her shoulder...> Thantasy: [Mavis] <a raven.> Thantasy: [Mavis] Hi. Cardaniel80: [Rick] Uhhhhh.... hi! Thantasy: [Mavis] <Notices you staring at the raven> Thantasy: [Mavis] Oh, don't be startled. Thantasy: [Mavis] This is Edgar. Cardaniel80: [Rick] Uh, too late. Oh, hi Edgar! Thantasy: [Jayne] <Coming from kitchen door> Hi! Cardaniel80: [Rick] (To Jayne) I always felt I should meet more of your family. Thantasy: [Mavis] Oh, look Edgar, it's Aunt Jayne! Thantasy: <At the words "Aunt Jayne".....> Thantasy: <Edgar spreads his wings and takes flight, a somewhat scary sight inside> Thantasy: <Edgar flies toward Jayne like he is about to attack!> Thantasy: <Ravens are predators!> Cardaniel80: [Rick] Jayne! Thantasy: <And lands on her shoulder.> Thantasy: [Jayne] Hi, Edgar. <Kisses him.> Thantasy: [Jayne] I gave Edgar to Mavis years ago. Cardaniel80: [Rick] Evidently you two really do know each other. Thantasy: [Jayne] It was part of our gothic period. Cardaniel80: [Rick] Didn't realize that had ended. Thantasy: [Mavis] Yes, and every time he hears me call her Aunt Jayne, he flies to her. Thantasy: [Mavis] I can call her Jayne all day long and he won't move. Thantasy: [Jayne] Remember the time I tried to surprise you..... Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Blinking at the sight of a big black bird perched on his lover's shoulder.) Thantasy: [Mavis] Yes, and I knew you were there, hiding someplace..... Thantasy: [Mavis] Because of the way that the doormat had been moved to get the key out... Thantasy: [Jayne] <To Rick> I was hiding in the kitchen closet.... Thantasy: [Mavis] And I didn't want to look all over for you..... Cardaniel80: (Rick is beginning to think there is more to this relationship than he had realized.) Thantasy: [Mavis] So, I just said, Edgar, where's Aunt Jayne? Thantasy: [Mavis] And he flew right to the closet and started pecking on the door! Thantasy: [Jayne] <In gangster tone> The dirty bird ratted me out! Cardaniel80: [Rick] So he's a watch-raven. Thantasy: [Jayne] Well, you got here just in time. Cardaniel80: [Rick] Uh-yeah, first movie's starting in a few minutes. Cardaniel80: [Rick] What've we got for snacks, Jaynie? Thantasy: [Jayne] Well, I've got some cookies just out of the oven. Thantasy: [Jayne] Might as well start with something sweet.... Thantasy: [Jayne] <Goes to kitchen to get cookies.> Thantasy: [Jayne] <Edgar stays on her shoulder> Cardaniel80: [Rick] Oh, great! Have you had her chocolate chips, Mavis? I don't know how she gets them so soft... Thantasy: [Mavis] Yes, she is a wonder-- in the kitchen. Thantasy: [Mavis] So, are you a big monster movie fan? Cardaniel80: [Rick] I'm learning to be. Jayne has been training me. Thantasy: [Mavis] Well, get used to it! Cardaniel80: [Rick] Oh, I know! Thantasy: [Mavis] We were watching Creature Features on Saturday nights when most girls were at the roller rink. Cardaniel80: [Rick] We've got our regular monster schedule. Thantasy: [Jayne] <Comes in from kitchen with plate of cookies> Thantasy: [Jayne] <Puts them on coffee table> Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Head reels with the sweet smell.) Hey, thanks, but doesn't Mavis get some too? Thantasy: [Jayne] These are for all of us -- Edgar, too. Thantasy: [Jayne] <Picks one up and lets Edgar peck at it> Cardaniel80: [Rick] What's he like, the cookie or the chip? Thantasy: [Jayne] Edgar is an omnivore. Thantasy: [Jayne] He likes both. Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Blinks again.) Thantasy: [Jayne] What can I get you to drink? Thantasy: [Mavis] Well, ....I don't know. Thantasy: [Mavis] "I never drink....wine." Cardaniel80: [Rick] That's a line from... oh, what is that (bonks his forehead.) Thantasy: [Jayne] Oh, darling....You need an education! Cardaniel80: [Rick] I'm a professional learner. Thantasy: [Jayne] Well, you'll see. It's the first movie on tonight. Thantasy: [Mavis] Really! The original! Thantasy: [Jayne] Yes, followed by DRACULA'S DAUGHTER.... Thantasy: [Jayne] <Smiling at Mavis> a movie of some significance to us. Cardaniel80: [Rick] Mavis, do you drink..... Coke? Thantasy: [Mavis] Actually, I do drink wine, but for tonight, yes, Coke will be fine. Cardaniel80: [Rick] On ice, or a cold bottle? Thantasy: [Mavis] Oh, I'll take it on the rocks! Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Goes to kitchen, clinking of bottles is heard) Thantasy: [Mavis] You remembered -- DRACULA'S DAUGHTER! Thantasy: [Jayne] You don't think I would forget, do you? Thantasy: [Jayne] <Kisses her, lady-like, on the cheek> Thantasy: [Mavis] That was the first time, we, um...... Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Returns with three frosty glasses caught between his fingers) Oh, sorry, does Edgar get one too? I wasn't thinking. Thantasy: [Jayne] He can sip from mine. Thantasy: [Mavis] Are they also going to show SON OF DRACULA? Thantasy: [Jayne] Yes, with what has become a very familiar face to me this past month watching TCM -- Thantasy: [Jayne] Lon Chaney, Jr. Cardaniel80: [Rick] I think they've got "Dracula's Second Cousin on His Mother's Side." Thantasy: [Jayne] That's on VH1, dear. Thantasy: [Mavis] You know, it just struck me.... Thantasy: [Mavis] your doctor..... Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Sits on couch by Jayne, on opposite side from Edgar.) Thantasy: [Mavis] Did he ever get any static about his name? Thantasy: [Mavis] I mean, it's so close..... Cardaniel80: [Rick] Name? Oh!! Thantasy: [Jayne] Yes, he even has the middle initial C. Thantasy: [Jayne] No, not that he ever mentioned. Cardaniel80: [Rick] My God, what were his parents thinking? Thantasy: [Jayne] I'm not sure he would even have known what they were talking about. Thantasy: [Jayne] He was NOT into classic movies.... Thantasy: [Jayne] If it was made before he was born, he didn't know about it. Cardaniel80: [Rick] Hell, even I knew who Lon Chaney was, before I even met Jaynie. Thantasy: [Jayne] That should have been my first clue that we did NOT have a long future ahead of us. Thantasy: [Jayne] I mean, these films were made in the 30's and 40's! Thantasy: [Jayne] Way before the world began.... Thantasy: [Jayne] with the birth of the Great Doctor! Cardaniel80: [Rick] Well, I'm sure you had plenty of other reasons to dump him. Cardaniel80: [Rick] They made great movies then, didn't they! Thantasy: [Jayne] Yes, darling -- they even made them at the very turn of the last century.... Thantasy: [Jayne] a hundred years ago.... Thantasy: [Jayne] but they were silent movies up until the 20's Cardaniel80: [Rick] I know, sweety, I'm up to speed on that (kisses her cheek) Thantasy: [Mavis] Yes. That was when Lon Chaney Sr. was a big star. Thantasy: [Mavis] All of his movies were silent. Thantasy: [Jayne] No Thantasy: [Jayne] Actually, he made one sound movie. Thantasy: [Jayne] It was a remake of THE UNHOLY THREE. Thantasy: [Jayne] They did that as a silent movie and remade it as a talkie. Cardaniel80: [Rick] He had part of the title role, I'll bet. Thantasy: [Jayne] Yes, he had about a third of it. Cardaniel80: [Rick] Ohhh. Hey, has that been on AMC? Thantasy: [Jayne] Not that I've seen, but TMC has it in their library. Thantasy: [Mavis] Speaking of movies....isn't it about time? Cardaniel80: [Rick] We need to call their request line if they've got one. Cardaniel80: [Rick] Oh, right! (Punches remote.) Thantasy: [Jayne] Yes, put on the tv, dear -- you know, actually TCM does have a request line, sort of.... Thantasy: [Jayne] about once a month, they do all viewer requests. Cardaniel80: [Rick] Wonder how many they get. They can't do ALL of them, I'd think. Thantasy: [Jayne] I'll go get some cold cuts....be right back. Thantasy: [Mavis] <Just a little nervous, wondering how the evening will go.> Cardaniel80: [Rick] Hurry, honey, they're starting.... Thantasy: [Jayne] Oh, I'm coming!!!!!!! Thantasy: [Jayne] God, I haven't been able to say that for about eight weeks, now! Thantasy: [Jayne] <Hurries in with plate of cold cuts.> Cardaniel80: [Rick] Haha! Well, you're getting there. Cardaniel80: [Rick] I just want to see you get better, sweetheart. Thantasy: [Jayne] <Sits down between Rick and Mavis on the couch.> Thantasy: [Jayne] I'm getting better and better every day. Thantasy: [Jayne] So, my doctor tells me. Cardaniel80: [Rick] Like Emil Coue. Thantasy: [Jayne] Emmm -- watch the movie! Thantasy: <They all settle in for a night with the monsters.> Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Uses remote to put up the sounds just a tad.) Thantasy: <During the first movie, DRACULA (1931) with Bela Lugosi, Jayne and Mavis mouth dialogue along with the characters on the screen -- laugh when one of them makes a mistake.> Cardaniel80: (Rick has an arm on Jayne's shoulder... Edgar seems willing to share.) Thantasy: <Jayne holds hands with Rick, but she also finds frequent occasion to touch Mavis's hand.> Thantasy: <Edgar keeps looking at Rick with his head cocked, like he's curious about him.> Thantasy: <As the movie proceeds, hand touching becomes more frequent.> Thantasy: <At various points of particular excitement, Jayne grasps both their hands.> Cardaniel80: (Rick sees Jayne touching Mavis's hand... feels glad she has such a good friend.) Thantasy: <The first movie ends.> Thantasy: [Jayne] <To Rick> Well, what did you think of that? Cardaniel80: [Rick] It's a great story! If movies spent as much time on stories today as they do on effects, I'd be in the theater all day. Thantasy: [Jayne] That's what I think. Thantasy: [Mavis] I agree. Thantasy: [Jayne] How do you like being at a girls' slumber party with Creature Features? Cardaniel80: [Rick] We're not going to talk about boys now, are we? Thantasy: [Jayne] Well, I want you to know that YOU are the first boy Mavis and I have ever shared our movies with! Thantasy: [Jayne] So, feel honored! Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Grins) Thanks. That does feel special, actually. Thantasy: [Jayne] Well, special guy, why don't you go refresh our Cokes? Thantasy: [Jayne] And bring out the cheese and crackers. Cardaniel80: [Rick] I'll use my special recipe. (Gets up) Thantasy: [Jayne] Do you want Edgar to go with you? Make sure you do it right? Cardaniel80: [Rick] Got it under control, honey. Should I get out the Brie? If this isn't a special occasion I don't know what is. Thantasy: [Jayne] Yes, please. Thantasy: [Jayne] <While he's gone,> DRACULA'S DAUGHTER is next. Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Returns with a big serving board, knives, cheeses, four kinds of crackers.) Thantasy: [Mavis] Emmmm. Thantasy: [Jayne] Wow! My man knows how to cook! Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Goes back to refill Cokes) I know you're a big tipper. Thantasy: [Jayne] <To Mavis> Think you're up for this? Thantasy: [Mavis] <Uncertain> What do you mean? Thantasy: [Jayne] Well, you know -- THAT scene! Thantasy: [Mavis] Well, uh, it will be different with Rick here. Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Clinking from kitchen) Thantasy: [Jayne] <Smiles> I don't think it has to be. Thantasy: [Mavis] <a little nervous> Thantasy: [Jayne] I'm going to put Edgar over on the back of that chair. Thantasy: [Jayne] I don't want him getting in the way. Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Returns with Cokes) They start yet? Thantasy: [Jayne] Just about to. Thantasy: [Jayne] I'm putting Edgar over here to give my shoulder a little rest. Thantasy: [Jayne] He likes the movies, too. Thantasy: [Jayne] <Feeds Edgar a piece of expensive cheese> Cardaniel80: [Rick] I might have to kiss your shoulder while it's resting, if it can take it. Thantasy: [Jayne] Oh, I think I can handle that. Thantasy: [Jayne] <Looks at Mavis.> After all, I have two of them. Thantasy: [Jayne] <The movie begins.> Cardaniel80: (Rick blinks. Hmmmm) Thantasy: <Again, Jayne and Mavis seem to know it by heart> Cardaniel80: (Rick sits on Jayne's right, his right hand holding her right, fingers intertwined, his left arm across her shoulder.) Thantasy: <Every now and then, both Jayne and Mavis squirm a little at the sight of Gloria Holden looking particularly seductive> Thantasy: [Jayne] Mmmm, isn't she hot! Cardaniel80: [Rick] Do you think she's probably too old for me by now? Thantasy: [Jayne] <To Rick> Think you could go for a babe like that? Thantasy: [Jayne] I think she might be a little past it, in real life. Cardaniel80: [Rick] Can she move like my baby? Thantasy: [Jayne] The way your baby's been moving for the past six weeks, definitely. Thantasy: [Jayne] Even in her coffin. Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Kisses her shoulder) I'll stick with what I got. Thantasy: [Jayne] <Rests her head against his.> Thantasy: [Jayne] <When the controversial scene approaches, the clear hint at lesbianism.....> Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Loves feeling her head against his) Thantasy: [Jayne] <both Jayne and Mavis seem to grow a little tense.> Thantasy: [Jayne] <As Gloria moves in for the kill on screen.....> Cardaniel80: [Rick] Hey, you're giving it away, something must be about to happen. Thantasy: <Jayne sits up....> Thantasy: <Looks at Mavis.....> Thantasy: [Mavis] <Very nervous> Cardaniel80: [Rick] What's up, sweety? Thantasy: [Jayne] Rick, it was during this scene that..... Thantasy: [Jayne] for the first time..... Thantasy: [Jayne] Mavis and I ...... Thantasy: [Jayne] well.... Thantasy: [Jayne] <Leans forward and kisses Mavis...> Thantasy: [Jayne] <on the lips.> Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Eyes get big) Thantasy: [Mavis] <In spite of her nervousness....> Thantasy: [Mavis] <this is the first time she has felt Jayne's lips on hers in what seems like forever.> Thantasy: [Mavis] MMMMMmmmmmm Thantasy: [Mavis] <Melting.> Thantasy: [Mavis] <Puts her arm on Jayne's shoulder.> Cardaniel80: (Rick watches quietly, knowing something important is going on.) Thantasy: <Not hearing any sounds of shock or upset from Rick, Jayne presses further> Thantasy: <Takes Mavis into her arms.> Thantasy: <Presses herself to her.> Thantasy: [Mavis] <All thoughts of nervousness forgotten> Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Starts to say something, decides not to interrupt.) Thantasy: [Mavis] <Returns embrace whole-heartedly.> Thantasy: [Mavis] Mmmmmmmm Thantasy: [Jayne] <feels herself becoming aroused already> Thantasy: [Jayne] <knows her limits> Thantasy: [Jayne] <backs off> Cardaniel80: [Rick] Uhhh... This isn't just something from when you were kids, is it? Thantasy: [Mavis] <left somewhat breathless> Thantasy: [Jayne] Rick, this is a special movie for us.... Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Smiling) I see that. Thantasy: [Jayne] and I want it to be a special movie for you, too. Thantasy: [Jayne] <Leans forward and kisses him...> Cardaniel80: [Rick] (A little taken aback) How do you mean? Thantasy: [Jayne] <putting just as much into it as she did with Mavis.> Thantasy: [Jayne] I.....I...... Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Sort of forgets what his question was.) Thantasy: [Jayne] Look..... Thantasy: [Jayne] you two are both ..... Thantasy: [Jayne] people I love ....... Thantasy: [Jayne] and..... Thantasy: [Jayne] since my operation..... Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Nodding) Mmm-hmmm? Thantasy: [Jayne] I've realized how wonderful my life has been.... Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Smiling) Thantasy: [Jayne] thanks to both of you! Thantasy: [Jayne] And...and.... Thantasy: [Jayne] Well, shit! Cardaniel80: [Rick] Oh, hey, I'd love you even without an operation. Thantasy: [Jayne] It just isn't fair..... Thantasy: [Jayne] that you two should both have to be ..... Thantasy: [Jayne] horny as jack-rabbits..... Thantasy: [Jayne] waiting for me to get all mended. Cardaniel80: [Rick] You know I can wait, sweety. There's so much more to us than... that. Thantasy: [Jayne] Yeah, well..... Thantasy: [Jayne] I know.... Thantasy: [Jayne] But, I was hoping...... Thantasy: [Jayne] I mean,... Cardaniel80: [Rick] (To Mavis) Do you know what this is about? Thantasy: [Jayne] I'm kind of out of commission, on the bench as it were.... Thantasy: [Mavis] <Has a hunch, but keeps quiet.> Thantasy: [Jayne] I can still watch the game from the sidelines.... Thantasy: [Jayne] And send in a few plays.... Cardaniel80: [Rick] If you're the coach, who's playing..... oh, you don't mean... (Darts a look at Mavis, can't look in her eyes.) Thantasy: [Jayne] I really would like to see two people that I love so much.... Thantasy: [Jayne] and who love me..... Thantasy: [Jayne] love each other..... Thantasy: [Jayne] A LITTLE!!!! Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Blushes) Wha....? Thantasy: [Jayne] I mean, I don't want you two to get carried away and run off with each other and leave me. Thantasy: [Jayne] But I think it's time we all got closer.... Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Starts to talk, can't think what to say.) Thantasy: [Jayne] <Puts her arms out.> Thantasy: [Jayne] <Touches both their shoulders.> Thantasy: [Jayne] <Gently encourages them to move a little closer....> Thantasy: [Jayne] <Leans forward, kisses Rick...> Cardaniel80: [Rick] Jaynie.... for real, I mean you're not kidding? Thantasy: [Jayne] <then kisses Mavis....> Thantasy: [Jayne] <then Rick...> Thantasy: [Jayne] <then Mavis....> Thantasy: [Jayne] <pulling them closer together...> Cardaniel80: [Rick] (To Mavis) I don't think she's kidding. Thantasy: [Mavis] No, she's not kidding! Cardaniel80: [Rick] What, did you know? Thantasy: [Mavis] <Looks at Rick....> No, I didn't know... Thantasy: [Mavis] But, I'm.....game..... Thantasy: [Mavis] if you are.... Cardaniel80: [Rick] Well, I.... (to Jayne) Honey, you absolutely sure? Thantasy: [Jayne] The only times I've ever been as sure.... Thantasy: [Jayne] of anything.... Thantasy: [Jayne] were the first times I made love to each of you. Thantasy: [Jayne] <Kisses them both again.> Thantasy: [Jayne] <Takes Mavis' hand, puts it on Rick's shoulder.> Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Feels himself automatically getting hard, knowing he's about to get laid) Thantasy: [Jayne] <Puts Rick's hand on Mavis' thigh> Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Looks at Mavis). How about you, you sure? Thantasy: [Mavis] <Even if she weren't attracted to Rick....> Thantasy: [Mavis] <which she IS!!!.....> Thantasy: [Mavis] <the overwhelming arousal within her, being this close to Jayne, cries out for satisfaction..> Thantasy: [Mavis] <Leans forward to kiss Rick..> Thantasy: [Mavis] <Puts her mouth on his lips.> Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Feeling a little breathless, getting harder, knowing he's about to make love to a woman he hasn't even kissed yet...) Thantasy: [Mavis] <Puts her other arm around him....> Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Lets his lips press against Mavis's and move softly.) Thantasy: [Jayne] <Leans forward, embracing them both, pressing her breasts to their shoulders > Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Quietly) Tell me what you like. (Turning towards Jayne) You probably know, coach, what play should I run? Thantasy: [Mavis] Is becoming incredibly aroused.> Thantasy: [Jayne] I would say, a forward pass followed by a lateral. Thantasy: [Mavis] I would say, you're doing just fine.... Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Smiling) I'll try that. (Kissing Mavis earnestly now.) Thantasy: [Mavis] The field is clear! Thantasy: [Mavis] <Presses her breasts to Rick's chest> Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Lets his hand roam up and down her side, approaching her breast a little more closely each time.) Thantasy: [Mavis] <Looks briefly at Jayne from the corner of her eye. Sees Jayne is smiling.> Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Kisses her neck and shoulder.) Thantasy: [Jayne] <Kisses both of them on their ears, using tongue -- knows they both love that.> Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Closes eyes) Ohhhhh, yeah.... Thantasy: [Mavis] <Thinking, oh, Jayne, you rascal!!!!> Thantasy: [Jayne] <Blows into their ears lightly, they like that too.> Cardaniel80: [Rick] (With his free hand, the one not feeling up Mavis, he reaches and takes Jayne's hand and holds it.) Thantasy: [Jayne] <Feels herself becoming aroused.> Thantasy: [Jayne] <Squeezes Rick's hand.> Thantasy: [Mavis] <Knows that this could lead to a complicated situation -- but that's a worry for the future.> Cardaniel80: [Rick] (His hand finally cups Mavis's breast as he returns to kissing her.) Thantasy: [Mavis] MMmmmmm Thantasy: [Mavis] <Presses her breast into his hand!!> Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Feels its softness through her pink PJ's.) Thantasy: [Mavis] <Wiggles a little to let him know she likes it... Thantasy: [Jayne] <Feels the arousal of both of them.... > Thantasy: [Jayne] <Can tell that her heart is beating just a little faster...> Thantasy: [Jayne] <eases back a little..... > Thantasy: [Jayne] <stroking both of their heads....> Thantasy: [Jayne] <they do look so beautiful together..... > Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Reaches down to find the buttons of Mavis's top.) Thantasy: [Jayne] <if anything were to happen to her, they might....but nothing is going to happen to her! She's made it through her brush with death.> Thantasy: [Jayne] <Recovery and smooth sailing and a life filled with love... that's what's ahead..... > Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Unbuttons the lower buttons, reaches underneath to let his hand stroke her bare skin, still kissing her.) Thantasy: [Jayne] <but still, it's nice to know, that, just in case....> Thantasy: [Mavis] <Thinking, it has been a long time since I've been with a guy.....> Thantasy: [Mavis] <but it is like riding a bicycle> Thantasy: [Mavis] <coming back to her real fast....> Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Blindly fumbles with the final buttons.) Thantasy: [Mavis] <Reaches down and caresses Rick's cock though his trousers.> Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Breath rushes out of him in a quick whoosh.) Thantasy: [Jayne] <Helps slide Mavis's top off her shoulders.> Thantasy: [Mavis] <Moves arms to allow removal of top.> Thantasy: [Mavis] <Takes top and folds it neatly...> Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Helps Jayne finish removing Mavis's top.) Thantasy: [Jayne] <Reaches over and starts to undress Rick, removing his shirt> Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Wants to go slowly, but it's been so long... reaches behind Mavis and unhooks her bra.) Thantasy: [Jayne] <As her hand touches his chest, she feels just a little too much excitement.... > Thantasy: [Jayne] <they seem to be doing fine.....> Thantasy: [Jayne] <eases back> Thantasy: [Jayne] <pats them both on the shoulder> Thantasy: [Jayne] <stands up, slowly....> Thantasy: [Jayne] Um, I'll be right over there with Edgar if you two need any advice..... Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Eases the bra straps down her shoulder. Following it down, he kisses her breast.) Thantasy: [Mavis] Ohhhhhhh!!!!!!! Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Breathing hard) Don't get... too far away... sweety... Thantasy: [Jayne] Not going anyplace, don't worry! Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Sucks on Mavis's breast for awhile, seeing she likes it.) Thantasy: [Jayne] Just gonna sit back where I can get a good view... Thantasy: [Mavis] Ohhhh, Jayne, you are one lucky woman!!!!!! Thantasy: [Jayne] <smiles> Don't I know it! Thantasy: [Jayne] <Picks up some cheese and crackers, sits down in chair, feeds herself and Edgar.> Thantasy: [Mavis] <Really getting into it, fumbling with Rick's trousers> Thantasy: [Mavis] Uh, I'm a little out of practice, sorry! Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Stops sucking her breast, moves back up and kisses her again, wrapping his arms around her, feeling her breasts pressed against his naked chest.) Thantasy: [Jayne] <Watching them and watching movie alternately......> Thantasy: [Jayne] <Stroking herself lightly, not wanting to get too aroused...> Thantasy: [Mavis] <Trying to slide Rick's pants out from under him.> Thantasy: [Mavis] <Decides, it's fruitless unless he lifts his ass.> Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Mavis's PJ bottoms are held by elastic band. He pulls them down, avoiding hooking her panties, wanting to save them for last. Rises up partway to help Mavis pull down his pants.) Thantasy: [Mavis] <Ah, success!> Thantasy: [Mavis] <Gets shorts too, while he's in the mood!> Thantasy: [Mavis] <Looks down.> Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Underpants caught on his big erection.) Thantasy: [Mavis] <JAYNE IS A LUCKY WOMAN!> Thantasy: [Mavis] <Strokes that beautiful thing!!!!> Thantasy: [Mavis] Ohhhhhh!! Thantasy: [Mavis] Emmmmmm Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Slips his finger underneath the waistband of her panties, playfully.) Thantasy: [Mavis] <Feeling her own juices flowing.> Thantasy: [Mavis] <Presses his hand to encourage him.> Thantasy: [Mavis] Mmmmmm Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Finger traces the boundaries of her crinkly bush... feels the nether lips.) Thantasy: [Mavis] <Pulls his hand to her clit. > Thantasy: [Mavis] EMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!! Thantasy: [Mavis] Oh, yes, yes..... Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Plays with her clit while kissing her neck.) Thantasy: [Mavis] Oh, shit, yes!!!!! Thantasy: [Mavis] <Pressing herself into him.> Thantasy: [Mavis] <Moving her hips slightly to show that she appreciates the fondling.> Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Reaches with both hands now and slowly, ceremoniously [with her help] slides her panties down and off.) Thantasy: [Jayne] <Finds the sight of them becoming a little too exciting, gives more attention to the movie.> Thantasy: [Jayne] <Whispers to Edgar> I think I've started something good. Cardaniel80: [Rick] (He hasn't been with any woman but Jayne for years... and he IS with Jayne. This is part of their love life, now, his and Jayne's.) Thantasy: <Edgar seems to nod his head.> Thantasy: [Mavis] <Feeling his hand on her clit, between her lips, she realizes how much she loves this.> Thantasy: [Mavis] <Hopes that Jayne understands that she is really enjoying this!> Thantasy: [Mavis] <Raises her hips slightly.> Thantasy: [Mavis] <Wants to encourage him to put his fingers further into her.> Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Can't hold back now, too horny, too long since he did this.... moves in on Mavis, wraps his arms around her... they settle onto the couch, arms and legs tangled, kissing passionately.) Thantasy: [Mavis] <Squeezes Rick with her legs.> Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Puts hand on her buttock, lets finger slide along her crack towards her pussy from behind.) Thantasy: [Mavis] Ohhhhhh!!!!!!!! Thantasy: [Mavis] Yes, yes!!!!! Thantasy: <Edgar seems really puzzled, he has seen Jayne and Mavis together...> Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Puts his finger fully inside her now, kissing her, his other arm tight behind her back holding her against him) Thantasy: <and has occasionally seen Mavis with a man....> Thantasy: <seems a little odd, but.....> Thantasy: <nudges Jayne to hold up another cracker for him.> Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Moving against her, rubbing his balls against the front of her pussy, his finger still inside) Thantasy: [Jayne] <Holding up cracker> Better watch it, Edgar. You keep this up, you won't be able to lift yourself off the ground. Thantasy: [Mavis] Uh, if you want to..... Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Pant) Hmmm? Thantasy: [Mavis] You can put your linga-whatsit in my yo-yo. Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Chokes back a laugh) Been talking to Jaynie about that too, huh? Thantasy: [Jayne] <Laughs.> Thantasy: [Jayne] I need to teach her the words, but trust me, she knows the tune! Cardaniel80: [Rick] I was thinking about doing that very thing with my gingham. Thantasy: [Mavis] <Spreads herself for his entrance!> Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Hesitates, marveling at doing this in front of Jayne, with the head of his cock poised at the entrance to Mavis's pussy.) Thantasy: [Mavis] Yes, please! Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Pushes it slowly in, pulls back, pushes back in deeper...) Thantasy: [Jayne] <Gives a nod of her head.> Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Tightens both arms around her as he thrusts deeper.) Thantasy: [Mavis] AHHHHHHHHHHHH Thantasy: [Mavis] OHHHH, YESSSSS!!!!! Thantasy: [Mavis] Oh, good Lord, yes!!!! Thantasy: [Mavis] <Moves vigorously, encouraging his thrusts.> Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Grunting with effort and excitement, he pushes in hard, feeling his balls tickled by the wispy hairs below her pussy.) Thantasy: [Mavis] EMMMMMMM Thantasy: [Jayne] <Feels their excitement, their arousal....> Thantasy: [Jayne] <feels so right about this...> Thantasy: [Jayne] <feels herself becoming aroused.....> Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Thrusting quickly now, has that feeling he so often gets with Jayne, of being ready to go on forever.) Thantasy: [Jayne] <focuses more intensely on the movie...> Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Getting closer... closer....) Thantasy: [Jayne] <not wanting to ignore them, but doing it for her own good.> Thantasy: [Mavis] AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Feels the tingling rise within him... higher... higher... about to spill over...) Thantasy: [Mavis] <As long as it's been since she's fucked a man, she can't remember the last time she came with one!!!!!> Thantasy: [Jayne] <The movie is nearing its own climax....> Thantasy: [Jayne] <knows what's coming by heart, so to speak> Thantasy: [Mavis] AHHHHHHHH Cardaniel80: [Rick] Hck..... NNNNGGGAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! Thantasy: [Mavis] AHHHHHHHHHH Thantasy: [Mavis] AHHHHHHHHHH Cardaniel80: [Rick] GUHHH!!!! GGNNNNHHHH!!!!! Thantasy: [Jayne] <Sees the servant Sender shoot the arrow into Gloria Holden's chest.> Thantasy: [Jayne] AHHHHHH Thantasy: [Mavis] AHHHHHH Cardaniel80: [Rick] NGGGHHH!!!! (Keeps spurting into her with no end in sight!) Thantasy: [Jayne] <At that moment, feels a pain in her own chest....> Thantasy: [Jayne] <in sympathy with Gloria, no doubt... > Thantasy: [Jayne] <Watches Gloria die so beautifully, so sexily on the screen.> Thantasy: [Jayne] <Hears the sounds of passion from the couch. > Cardaniel80: [Rick] coming down slowly, breathing raggedly, subsiding at last. Thantasy: [Jayne] <Caught up in the excitement of what is going on in the movie and on the couch......> Thantasy: [Jayne] <she experiences an orgasm, fights to control it...> Thantasy: [Jayne] <keeping it under control. God, Gloria is beautiful!!!> Thantasy: [Jayne] <can feel that arrow in her own heart!!!!> Cardaniel80: [Rick] (All energy spent, laying as if lifeless on couch, wrapped around Mavis.) Thantasy: [Jayne] <The beautiful, immortal creature destroyed by a loyal male servant in an act of jealousy, which ironically is an act of devotion because it spares her from much worse. > Thantasy: [Mavis] <Oh, Jeez, yes, the earth does move!!!!> Thantasy: [Mavis] <Hugs Rick tightly, tightly...> Thantasy: [Mavis] <Looks at Jayne -- sees the tv screen.> Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Opens eyes, sees Mavis's eyes so close to his. Smiles, kisses her.) Thantasy: [Mavis] <Jayne seems transfixed by the scene in the movie....> Thantasy: [Mavis] <the death of the vampiress!> Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Looks over. Wants to call Jayne to come over, but senses it's a crucial scene in the movie.) Thantasy: [Mavis] <Never has seen Jayne look quite that excited by this scene before.> Thantasy: [Mavis] <They have both gotten off on it before, but Jayne seems to really be getting off.> Thantasy: [Mavis] <Is that excitement good for her?> Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Whispers to Mavis, looking at screen) Hey, wasn't that guy a good guy? Thantasy: [Mavis] Jayne! Are you okay! Thantasy: [Jayne] Hmmm, oh, yes. Thantasy: [Jayne] I'm fine. Thantasy: [Jayne] Just never noticed how beautiful that was before. Thantasy: [Jayne] <Looks over and smiles at them> It must be the good energy in the room. Thantasy: <Edgar seems to nod> Cardaniel80: [Rick] Why did he kill her, sweetheart? Thantasy: [Jayne] He's jealous, but he is also saving her from being killed by somebody else, someone who would not do it with love. Thantasy: [Jayne] It actually turns out to be a very special sort of devotion. Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Whispering) Oh, wow! Thantasy: [Mavis] Mmmmm. Thantasy: [Mavis] <Looks at Rick, whispers> Thank you very, very much! Thantasy: [Mavis] <Hugs him.> Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Gives Mavis a kiss.) My pleasure. Very much pleasure. Thantasy: [Mavis] Let me go over and thank Jayne, too. Thantasy: [Mavis] <Slides out from under him.> Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Takes her hand, gets up.) Let's both go over here with Jayne Thantasy: [Jayne] <Sees them coming, does not want to rise to meet them.> Thantasy: [Jayne] <Would like to, but, well, not right now.> Thantasy: [Jayne] <Holds out hands to both of them.> Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Sits on floor next to Jayne's chair, takes her hand.) Thantasy: [Mavis] <Kneels beside her, kisses her hand.> Thantasy: [Mavis] Jayne, thank you so much!!!! Thantasy: [Mavis] I....I.... Thantasy: [Jayne] You don't have to say anything, either of you. Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Brings her other hand up, presses it against the side of his head.) I love you, darling! Thantasy: [Jayne] I'm just so glad that we're all together. Thantasy: [Jayne] I love you both! Thantasy: [Jayne] Hmmm, the next movie up is SON OF DRACULA.... Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Sees one of those funny little twitches she's been doing lately. Nothing much, just a quick shake. Has been meaning to ask her about it.) Thantasy: [Jayne] starring the near namesake of my doctor. Cardaniel80: [Rick] Have to say I'm glad he's not here. Thantasy: [Jayne] Me too. Thantasy: [Jayne] I think I'd like to go to the bathroom... Cardaniel80: [Rick] You really okay, honey? Thantasy: [Jayne] Could you help me stand? Thantasy: [Jayne] I think maybe I just identified with Dracula's brat a little too much. Cardaniel80: [Rick] Hey, you are in trouble, aren't you? (Frowns with concern, stomach churning.) Thantasy: [Jayne] I just let myself get a little too excited. Thantasy: [Jayne] It's gone away. Just left me a little weak. Cardaniel80: [Rick] Listen, don't think this is crazy, but you want me to carry you? Thantasy: [Jayne] Hmmmm. Thantasy: [Jayne] As I recall, Thantasy: [Jayne] Dracula's son does that with a woman in the next movie. Thantasy: [Jayne] No, I can walk. Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Smiling) Well, I'll be him, then. Cardaniel80: [Rick] Honey, don't put on a brave face. If you need me to carry you, I'll take you anywhere. Thantasy: [Jayne] Oh, okay!!!! Thantasy: [Jayne] I'll let you! Cardaniel80: [Rick] Okay (Smiling) Thantasy: [Jayne] <Lets herself be lifted.> Thantasy: [Jayne] <Puts arms around his shoulders.> Thantasy: [Jayne] You do not, however, get to wipe my ass! Thantasy: [Jayne] <Laughs> Thantasy: [Mavis] How about me? Can I, huh? Can I? <laughing> Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Somehow being embraced by the woman he loves, after she has let him be with another woman, puts him on top of the world. He has never loved her so much!) Thantasy: [Jayne] No, it's your turn to refresh the cokes..... Thantasy: [Jayne] And you can bring the pot of chili out and some bowls... Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Carries her to the bathroom) Thantasy: [Jayne] We still have a long night of death and destruction ahead of us! Thantasy: [Jayne] And passion and tenderness! Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Smiling) A vampire's work is never done. Thantasy: [Jayne] Mmmmm End of Scene iv
Setting: Jayne and Rick's house.
Thantasy: <The next morning. Jayne and Rick are asleep on the couch and Mavis is asleep leaning up against it. They all made it through the Spanish language version of DRACULA (made at the same time and with the same sets as the Lugosi version, but considered by some to be a better production), however, they all drifted off during the showing of Lugosi version with the 1999 score by Phillip Glass.> Thantasy: <Jayne awakens at about 9:30. She gets up, puts on her robe (she did get naked but not involved), and goes out to the kitchen to make coffee.> Thantasy: <While the coffee is brewing, she goes to the bedroom and fetchs a robe for Rick and another for Mavis. Then she brings the coffee and juice into the living room....> Cardaniel80: [She thinks Rick looks adorable stretched out on the couch there.] Thantasy: <And Mavis doesn't look bad, either.> Thantasy: <Jayne is very happy about the way things went.> Cardaniel80: [Yes, it's like the two big parts of her life are glued together.] Thantasy: <She patiently waits for them to stir, finally decides to jostle Rick a little, touching his shoulder.> Thantasy: [Jayne] Yoo-hoo. Cardaniel80: [Rick] Mmggfff? Thantasy: [Jayne] Good-morning????? Thantasy: [Jayne] Rise and shine -- sort of. Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Rubbing eyes) What morning would that be? Thantasy: [Jayne] <kisses him> Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Kisses back) Mmmmm (smiling) Thantasy: [Jayne] It's the morning after the night of the vampires. Thantasy: [Mavis] Emmmm. did someone say vampires? Cardaniel80: [Rick] We are the undead, are we? I don't feel undead. Thantasy: [Jayne] Here, I bought some refreshments -- liquid diet this morning. Thantasy: [Jayne] And I brought you both robes, in case you feel modest. Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Eyes coffee) Ah, sweety, what I life-saver! I can be me again! Thantasy: [Mavis] Well, I'm feeling like a girl who needs the bathroom badly. Thantasy: [Mavis] <Gets up, puts on robe.> Thantasy: [Mavis] I'll be right back. Thantasy: [Mavis] <Staggers off to bathroom.> Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Picks up robe, puts it on, still spacy. Stretches extravagantly.) Thantasy: [Jayne] <Pours coffee for Rick.> Thantasy: [Jayne] <Sits beside him.> Thantasy: [Jayne] You are a wonderful man -- in case I haven't mentioned that lately. Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Leans his head against Jayne's.) I was just going to thank you... for being you. Thantasy: [Jayne] Aw shucks! Thantasy: [Jayne] I'm so happy about things. Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Smiling) You've got a very nice friend. Thantasy: [Jayne] Yes, and now you have one, too. Cardaniel80: [Rick] Already had one, but I'm glad to have another. Thantasy: [Jayne] I've known for a long time that I've wanted this.... Thantasy: [Jayne] It took a pretty extraordinary event to push me to make it happen. Thantasy: [Jayne] I hope that I don't always require major surgery to make up my mind to do things I've wanted to do. Cardaniel80: [Rick] The biggest thing to me is, I feel like it adds so much to our relationship, you and me. Oh, and Mavis is all part of it too now, of course, but it's one more special thing with us. Thantasy: [Jayne] <Pats him on his hand, smiles.> Thantasy: [Mavis] <Returning from bathroom> Okay, ready for coffee. Cardaniel80: [Rick] Now, I only feel bad that you still can't join in yet. That just takes time, though. Thantasy: [Jayne] I'll be there soon enough, don't worry. Cardaniel80: (Rick reaches for pot and pours Mavis a cup.) Thantasy: [Jayne] Well, Mavis, what do you think? Pretty good idea having boys at our slumber parties, huh? Thantasy: [Mavis] Yes, I think it's welcome addition! Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Grins) So you never even thought of having boys over back then, eh? Thantasy: [Mavis] We thought about it. It took almost 14 years to find the right boy, though. Thantasy: [Mavis] I leave those decisions to Jayne. She's much better on the subject of boys than I am. Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Smiles) Took me a while to find the right girl. Girls, sorry. Thantasy: [Mavis] <Sits down on the floor.> Thantasy: [Mavis] In addition to everything else... Thantasy: [Mavis] It was great to see all those movies again! Thantasy: [Mavis] Boy, that brought back memories! Cardaniel80: [Rick] How far did you go that first time, during Daughter? Thantasy: [Jayne] Well, uh, once we got started..... Thantasy: [Jayne] I don't think we stopped, did we? Cardaniel80: [Rick] Lucky your mom didn't walk in, I take it? Thantasy: [Mavis] No, we didn't -- but in our defense..... Thantasy: [Mavis] We didn't make a move until the third time we saw it. Thantasy: [Jayne] Yes, we were very prudent. Thantasy: [Jayne] Those are some great movies, though. Cardaniel80: [Rick] Well, the movie just eventually wore you down, I guess. Thantasy: [Mavis] Yes. The only one that didn't grab me much then and doesn't now is SON OF DRACULA. Thantasy: [Jayne] Yes, that is kind of a clinker. Cardaniel80: [Rick] Well, you just need to get the hang of guys. Thantasy: [Jayne] I think Mavis can make the adjustment. Cardaniel80: [Rick] You've gone a pretty good part of the way already, I'd say, Mavis. Thantasy: [Mavis] I suppose you could judge what kind of man a woman likes by who's her favorite Dracula. In my ratings of Draculas, of course, Bela comes first. Thantasy: [Mavis] Followed closely by John Carradine and Christopher Lee... Thantasy: [Mavis] almost a dead heat for second place between them. Cardaniel80: [Rick] I suppose you could say Bela was the most ethnically correct. Cardaniel80: [Rick] I give Christopher Lee the nod for elegance. Thantasy: [Mavis] I'm afraid Lon Chaney, Jr. comes out at the bottom. Thantasy: [Mavis] He just didn't seem to have it as the count. Thantasy: [Jayne] Yes, but remember... Thantasy: [Jayne] he's the only actor to have played...... Thantasy: [Jayne] The Wolf Man.... Thantasy: [Jayne] The Mummy.... Thantasy: [Jayne] The Frankenstein Monster... Thantasy: [Jayne] And Dracula. Cardaniel80: [Rick] Perhaps he just had problems he was trying to work out. Thantasy: [Jayne] He couldn't be expect to do ALL of them well. Thantasy: [Mavis] And some of those Inner Sanctum things he was in were really good.... Thantasy: [Jayne] Oh, he was in some great movies.... Cardaniel80: [Rick] ... and now he's a surgeon. Thantasy: [Jayne] He played the retired sheriff in HIGH NOON. for example. Thantasy: [Jayne] And, yes, he played doctors, too. Cardaniel80: [Rick] I want to see HIGH NOON again. Wonder if that's going to be on anytime soon? Thantasy: [Mavis] He was also Dynamo Dan, the Electrical Man. Thantasy: [Jayne] Yes, MAN-MADE MONSTER! Thantasy: [Jayne] Somewhat like INVINCIBLE MAN. Cardaniel80: [Rick] He's the Actor of the Month, isn't he? Thantasy: [Jayne] But the best thing he was in was that movie based on that novel by John Steinbeck..... Cardaniel80: [Rick] Oh, yeah, Of Mice and Men. Thantasy: [Jayne] YES!!!!! That's it! Thantasy: [Jayne] Lenny was such a sad character. Cardaniel80: [Rick] Wonder what it is that makes somebody spend almost his whole career playing monsters? Was he comfortable with it, do you know? Thantasy: [Mavis] Well, from what I know about actors, work is work! Thantasy: [Mavis] But I would think it would take a toll on a person. Cardaniel80: [Rick] That's true, yeah. And they didn't make as much back then. Hard to turn a role down. Thantasy: [Jayne] And they didn't have as sophisticated special effects to rely on. Thantasy: [Jayne] Somebody who could sit for hours and hours and hours.... Thantasy: [Jayne] while some make-up man turned him into a wolf.... Thantasy: [Jayne] that takes patience.. Thantasy: [Jayne] and stamina. Cardaniel80: [Rick] Right! Well, actors still do that, but you're right, not everybody would sit for that, for as little money as they probably got. Thantasy: [Mavis] His father, Lon, Sr. did all his own make-up, right? Thantasy: [Jayne] Yes, and most of his own stunts too! Thantasy: [Jayne] I think it was in HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME that he took a huge jump and landed on his knees! Ouch! Cardaniel80: [Rick] Arggh! Cardaniel80: [Rick] Any Lon Sr. films coming up? Thantasy: [Jayne] I think TCM has some. Thantasy: [Jayne] I think they might be playing HE WHO GETS SLAPPED. Cardaniel80: [Rick] We need to check for that.... Mavis, want a little toast and butter to go with that? Thantasy: [Mavis] After all that chow last night? Thantasy: [Mavis] No, coffee and juice will be fine for me. Cardaniel80: [Rick] Telling me you'll never eat again? (Smiling) Thantasy: [Mavis] oh, I'm sure I will. By the way, how are you feeling, Jayne? Thantasy: [Jayne] Oh, I'm fine. Cardaniel80: [Rick] Any weakness at all, sweety, or just normal Jayne? Thantasy: [Jayne] I think I was just too much into the movie last night. Cardaniel80: [Rick] Well, thinking back a few weeks, I know for sure you're on the mend. Thantasy: [Mavis] Well, I suppose I should gather myself up and get going. Thantasy: [Jayne] Don't forget Edgar. Thantasy: [Mavis] Can't forget him. He's been the main male influence in my life..... Cardaniel80: [Rick] If I said "Aunt Jayne" would that get a rise out of him, or does that only work in your voice? Thantasy: <Edgar stirs from his perch --- flies to Jayne> Cardaniel80: [Rick] Haha! Okay, he doesn't care who says it. Thantasy: [Jayne] Does that answer your question? Thantasy: [Mavis] He's a very predictable bird. Thantasy: [Mavis] <Has been getting her jammies back on> Cardaniel80: [Rick] If only all of life was that reliable. Thantasy: [Jayne] Yes, if only. Thantasy: [Mavis] I suppose I should put my coat on, even though it's warm out. Thantasy: [Mavis] Wouldn't do to be seen leaving in jammies. Cardaniel80: [Rick] Yes, you will stand out a little more this morning than you would have last night. Thantasy: [Mavis] The neighbors might get the wrong idea about you two. Cardaniel80: [Rick] I'm sure they've got lots of erroneous impressions. Thantasy: [Mavis] Well, come on Edgar...<Puts her hand down for him to perch on> Thantasy: [Jayne] <Stands, gives Mavis a hug.> Thantasy: [Jayne] Thanks for coming! Thantasy: [Mavis] Thanks for inviting me. Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Puts his arms around Mavis and hugs her too, gives her a quick kiss on the lips) We should do this again. Thantasy: [Jayne] Uh...... Thantasy: [Jayne] tonight they're showing the FRANKENSTEIN movies.. Thantasy: [Jayne] The original Thantasy: [Jayne] BRIDE OF... Thantasy: [Jayne] SON OF.... Thantasy: [Jayne] GHOST OF.... Thantasy: [Jayne] HOUSE OF.... Cardaniel80: [Rick] REFRIGERATOR OF.... Thantasy: [Jayne] and ...MEETS THE WOLF MAN. Cardaniel80: [Rick] Ohhhh! Any of those have special significance? Thantasy: [Jayne] Well, there is some near-necro action in THE BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN and, just as "I never drink...wine" is a famous line from DRACULA, there are some famous lines from the Frankenstein movies, too. Cardaniel80: [Rick] I think I even know one of them: "It's alive! It's alive!" Thantasy: [Jayne] Yes, that's what Dr. Frankenstein says when the monster moves for the first time. Thantasy: [Jayne] There's another famous line in THE BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN. Just before the monster sets off the blast meant to kill him and his newly created wife, he says, "We belong dead!" Thantasy: [Jayne] <looks at Mavis> Cardaniel80: [Rick] 'Nother party, you think? Thantasy: [Mavis] <After just a moment's hesitation...> Thantasy: [Mavis] Can I come over tonight? Thantasy: [Jayne] SURE!!!!! Cardaniel80: [Rick] We promise less food. Thantasy: [Jayne] <Hugs her enthusiastically.> Thantasy: [Mavis] I'll bring the treats tonight! Thantasy: [Mavis] Or most of them. Thantasy: [Jayne] And bring Edgar, too! Cardaniel80: [Rick] Okay! Yeah, we'll try to create some treats on the spot. Thantasy: [Mavis] For sure!!!!! Thantasy: [Mavis] Wouldn't be the same without him. Cardaniel80: [Rick] I believe he approves. Cardaniel80: [Rick] What do you say, Edgar? Thantasy: <Edgar knows that he's being talked about.> Thantasy: <Nods his head in approval.> Cardaniel80: [Rick] Haha! There you have it! Thantasy: [Jayne] Okay, well, it sounds like we have another foursome for tonight. Cardaniel80: [Rick] Two boys and two girls, sounds fair. Thantasy: [Jayne] Yes. Too bad Edgar has taken vows. Thantasy: [Jayne] But, he's good at watching. Cardaniel80: [Rick] Ah, "Nevermore," he said. Thantasy: <Edgar looks at Rick....> Cardaniel80: [Rick] Sorry, Edgar, stealing your lines. Thantasy: <as if to say, "This isn't supposed to be a speaking role."> Thantasy: <"It's not in my contract!"> Cardaniel80: [Rick] Well, we'll never say nevermore, anyway. Thantasy: [Mavis] Well, until tonight. Thantasy: [Mavis] <Final kisses> Thantasy: [Mavis] And I'll bring treats! Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Rick kisses Mavis warmly) Thantasy: [Mavis] And, again, thanks, both of you. Thantasy: [Mavis] <Returns kiss, of course> Thantasy: [Mavis] <Heads for door, Edgar on her shoulder> Cardaniel80: [Rick] And we both owe some thanks to our wonderful friend. (Turns to Jayne) You're the best, honey. I love you so much! Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Kisses her.) Thantasy: [Jayne] <Kisses the man she loves.> Thantasy: [Jayne] <The ONLY man she loves!> Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Closes eyes) Mmmm! Cardaniel80: [Rick] (To Mavis) See you tonight! Thantasy: [Mavis] <From door> Yes, for sure! Thantasy: [Mavis] <Quietly leaves.> Cardaniel80: [Rick] (Very pretty morning, already warm, soft breeze.) Thantasy: <Once outside.....> Thantasy: <Edgar says.....> Thantasy: <"Nevermore, my ass!"> Thantasy: [Mavis] Edgar! Watch your language!
