[Meredith appears in a little-used area of the Plane with what appears to be living Plane metal in her hands]

Someone suggested that this is a social experiment, so...

[Kneeling, Meredith lets the metal down onto the floor. Some of it slithers away from her and other pieces vanish, but quickly enough, her hands are empty]

...we will fulfill expectations.

[Then, she is gone]

((ooc: Plot start! The plot post is here and the pairings are here! For reference, Plane Metal is cool to the touch and almost liquid feeling, like brushing your finger over the top of water. It is a deep gray which appears to be speckled in the light but in other lights the metal seems ghostly and translucent. Feel free to start up your posts, get your partners together and go for it!))

{Hey Inara, I bet you really wanted to get attached to a sociopathic bitch}

What is this?!

[not particularly, no]

I was wondering the same. [gives her new friend a look] This is quite annoying.

It's more than annoying. It's unacceptable.

I'd have to agree. This will be ... interesting when it comes time to do my job.

But I'm being rude. I don't believe we've been acquainted, and it seems we're rather stuck together at the moment. I'm Inara.

{Dante doesn't answer right away, her mind scheming away. But after a moment of thought, she nods absently}

Dante. I can't say it's a pleasure, but only because of the situation.

[that's okay, Inara's thinking this through as quickly as she can, as well, though probably not as ~*~evilly~*~]

It is quite the unfortunate situation, isn't it. [sighs lightly, tugging at her leg] How undignified.

I'll have to get rid of it, but I have a feeling that it won't be easy. What is your job, then? If we're to be stuck together until I understand the material, I hope it's not of too much inconvenience.

Get rid of it? I'm curious to hear how you'll manage that.

And I'm a Companion by trade. And this is ... well, it certainly does make my work a little more difficult. It's a very personal sort of business my clients expect from me.

I am an alchemist. Deconstructing and reconstructing matter is my trade. Until then, I suppose your clients will have to deal with it, because there's no alternative that I see.

Alchemy? I can't say I'm familiar with the practice, though I've read of it. [smiles politely, if insincerely] I'm afraid that's just not possible. My clients' needs are quite important to me and if I can't perform properly, I won't insult them. This would be insulting, I'm afraid.

{Dante nearly responds sharply, but manages not to}

Then I'd advise you consider an alternative to get rid of the chain or cancel your clients' appointments.

You'll have to forgive me, but this is my livelihood we're discussing. I can't just not see my clients, especially considering some of them wait a long time to meet with me.

Then unless you can take it off, it seems that we'll have to accompany each other.

[she really has nothing to say to this and so sighs]

So it would seem. Well then. I guess we'll just have to solve this little problem as quickly as possible, then.

Indeed. I hope that we can get along, at least. {Because if they can't Dante would have no qualms to killing the other half to get free}

I think we'll be able to manage. [damnit, Dante, no killing Inara]
