Disgusted, he glances at his screen, hoping to find word from Typhoid Mary.
Nope.

SCRATCH JOURNAL ENTRY
Scratch:Different people pull different things out in me. ::quietly:: I usually don’t like when the woman in me is pulled out… by someone else I mean. I did it once when I dressed up in drag. I mean stockings and heels. But, I hate it being yanked out by aggressive women or stupid men…
Winc:::not breathing… listening::
Scratch:I just don’t feel it! Whatever it is I’m supposed to, I don’t feel it! But if there’s a give and take, even if I’m being very “girl,” it’s quite wonderful.
Winc:::gently:: maybe the chief thing going on with you is that you’re a dominant type, no matter what gender.
Scratch:Dominant type?
Winc:::very gently:: When we were playing het characters, when we were gay guys, you took the “lead” both times.
Scratch:True. ::Sigh:: That disappoints me. I feel like such a shape-shifter in other ways…
Winc:::fingers moving through the leaves::
Scratch:::bewildered::
Winc:::speechless::
Scratch:Don’t like being dominated.
Winc:Like when I was Yar and starting to dominate you?
Scratch:Right… ::wriggling uncomfortably:: Makes me claustrophobic. But I don’t want to smother *you*!
Winc:But you wanted to take me down as Yar?
Scratch:Right.
Winc:And suppose you had? Then what?
Scratch:In the best of all possible worlds?
Winc:Uh huh.
Scratch:Then I’d have set you free, so you could move again. Literally and figuratively.
Winc:Do you like playing the top?
Scratch:Emphasis on top, or playing?
Winc:::smiling:: yeah.
Scratch:A lot of the time it’s unconscious…
Winc:Jeeze, we’re so similar, well I mean we fit together. I like playing the bottom…
Scratch:Ah. No matter the gender?
Winc:::nodding:: No matter the gender. I spend so much of my real life days being warrior, fighting off labels, being in third space, I *like* the traction you and I create. ::blinking:: at-traction?
