She's twenty-three, and this is Audrey's first visit to the Rose Bowers. A two week stay, complimentary through her government job on Arcbright. She's alone.
She's heard stories of the Rose Bowers, of the unrestrained hedonism that's its stock in trade, and its matchmaking, which is reputed to be excellent.
She comes in with trepidation in her heart. Her suitcase rattles as it bumps over the threshold.
Afterwards, the silver-haired Audrey draws a heavy blanket around herself and her pink-haired alt. She snuggles in. No words need be said.
Eventually...
"You know, if we're going to go around with each other it's probably for the best if we take nicknames."
"I could use the moral support. I'll be Tabs, somebody called me that once because I was good at keeping track of people."
"Well, there's been a few leads that the Rose Bowers has thrown me at. In particular a brown-haired woman, wears nothing but her hair?"
"Oh, you mean Hannah. She's nice and... probably a good introduction to the whole rest of it. She was very gentle with me, but not at all shy about her interest. Threesome?"
"Honestly I think you've earned that one more than me. I could watch?"
"That's weird. Even though you're me, that's - heck, it's arguably weirder because you're me. Let's not."
"Alright. I think I'll go nap then. My room is number fifty-seven, just knock on the door if you want to talk again. Or... you know."
"Bye!", she calls after her.
That... could have gone better. But... it wasn't bad. Even for how awkward and tense the whole thing was, it was fundamentally okay. And now she gets to say she lost her virginity to herself. That's... kind of cool, right?
She wraps herself tightly in the blanket and heads out the door, not bothering to put on clothes. It's not like anyone can see her under the blanket anyway. And this is supposed to be a casual place. If she can't wander around in nothing but a blanket, then what's even the point?
Hannah's back in her place at the Coze Club, still wearing her signature bikini-bottom-only outfit. She perks up when she sees Audrey.
"Nude under a blanket, huh? Are congratulations in order?"
"Yeah, actually," says Audrey. "I went and fucked myself. Like, literally, I found an alt of me and we - you know. We took each other's virginities, actually."
"Congratulations! What was it like, if you don't mind me snooping?"
"Kind of awkward, honestly. Neither of us were really... any good at it. Because of the virgin thing. I guess the only advantage was that I didn't have to worry about being misunderstood or laughed at. It felt close, but... not? Kind of rushed. It was good, don't get me wrong, we were very in sync, but..."
"Congratulations and condolences then. Sex is supposed to be better than that. But still - you had your first time. That's got to be a good feeling."
"Yeah, it really is a good feeling. And, well... I'm not satisfied. Which is why I'm here in my blanket talking to you. I offered Aurica a threesome, because I wanted her there to back me up, but... I think I want you. For myself. Because this sex thing isn't really such a big deal."
"Oh, really? Tell me what you want. Directly, to my face. What do you want?"
"Basic communication, Audrey. If you can't tell me what you want, I can hardly give it to you, can I?"
"Oh alright fine."
She takes a deep breath. "I want... like, basic vanilla sex. Cuddly, if possible. In my room, because I feel safer there. Is that... enough?"
"It's a good start but I'm going to make you give me a position too."
