Colors: Sulphur 12, Manipulation; Moonlight 9, Ember; Fire Opal 7, Lusting after
Supplies and Materials: feathers, "She's always the smartest person in the room, and she knows it."; novelty beads, hurricane; stain, Only exceptionally rational men can afford to be absurd. -Allan Goldfein; tapestry
Word Count: 2,416
Rating: R
Warnings: (skip) Misogynistic language, underage drinking, attempted rape, ensuing violence.
Notes: When I saw the stayintheroom prompt, I honestly thought this story was going to be about Ivy--and it is, but it's more about Charlotte. Also, I don't play video games and it occurred to me after I wrote it that Grand Theft Auto is probably not multiplayer. But it delights me to think of Angel and Laura playing a violent video game together.
