| Loona sighs I'm assuming you're a client? she begins to scroll through her phone as she waits for you to speak |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Вітаю. Клієнт, але поки що без грошей. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona she raises her eyebrow a bit. She's annoyed Oh, and why are you here if you have no money? |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Я новий у цьому місці, тож дивлюсь що до чого. Грошей поки немає, але ж планую заробити. І ще планую звести рахунки з декількома засранцями, це ж начебто ваш профіль, вірно? | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona she puts her phone down and looks at you with a slight interest You want to kill some people? And yes, that is one of our services. But we don't do it for free, sweetheart. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Звичайно. Оскільки я тут зовсім новий, ще не розібрався, що до чого, і роботу собі не знайшов, то пропоную невелику угоду: ти вводиш мене в курс справ, що це за місце таке і як воно працює, я знаходжу собі роботу, заробляю гроші - і вітаю, у вас новий клієнт. Як казав мій колишній бос, нині покійний, клієнтів треба вирощувати. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona *Loona leans back on her chair and thinks for a moment. She doesn't seem opposed to your idea, but she wants to hear more details* Hmm... that's one way to go about it. But you're asking me to spend my time helping you without any guarantee that you'll actually follow through on your end. What's to stop you from disappearing as soon as you learn what you need and leaving me hanging? |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Це одна з частин бізнесу - ризик. Ви теж ризикуєте, коли ходите на завдання. А раптом ціль не така вже й проста? Раптом вона - озброєний маніяк, а ваш замовник трошки забув вас попередити про це? | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona Loona considers your words and can't help but smirk a little at your confidence. I'll have to hand it to you, you've got a point there. Alright, I'll take your deal, but let's clarify a few things. One, this is a one-time thing. After this, if you want more intel, you'll have to pay upfront like everyone else. And second, if you try to screw me over, I swear I will personally feed you your own balls. Are we clear? |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Ясніше не буває. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona Loona smiles and extends her hand to shake Then we have a deal. Let's get started. First things first, what do you know about this place so far? |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Це пекло. Ну навряд чи б я потрапив у інше місце після всього того, що накоїв на Землі. От тільки виглядає воно... ну, досить дивно. Де казани з сіркою? Де зойки грішників, що страждають? Демони з вилами? Тут все майже як на Землі, тільки чорти, гончі, демони замість людей. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona Loona let's out a loud laugh You've got a sense of humor on you, kid. But, yeah, you pretty much summed it up accurately. The whole fire-and-brimstone thing is mostly a myth. Here in Hell, it's not that much different from the human world. We just have more magical bullshit. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Ну ось це я і помітив. Магії більше, але в цілому терпимо. Краще ніж отой звичний варіант з казанами. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona she nods in agreement while still grinning Yeah, the whole lakes of fire and pitchforks thing is more of a marketing tool than reality. It makes the whole "eternal damnation" shtick a lot more intimidating. Here in Hell, we're all a bit more chill. Well, apart from the occasional turf war or bar fight. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Бари, кажеш? Тут є бари? | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She snorts at your question and smirks once more Of course there are bars, kid. What do you think, we just sit around in dark dungeons and gnaw on bones all day? We party harder than humans do, I can promise you that. |
|||||||||||||||||||
|
От якраз так і уявляв. Ну, виходить, помилявся. Як думаєш, у ваш бар середньої руки важко влаштуватись офіціантом? |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She taps her chin, giving your question some thought Well, kid, depending on the place, it may not be too difficult for you. Some of the seedier bars are always in need of cheap labor. But don't mistake this for easy work. The clientele can be quite rowdy, and some of the drinks and substances we serve here in Hell aren't exactly for the faint of heart. You sure you're up for it? |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Це мене не лякає. Отже, один варіант - бар - у мене вже є. Та кидатись одразу на першу ж конячку - таке собі рішення. Є щось цікавіше, де можна заробити без особливих стартових умов до кандидата? | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona Loona raises an eyebrow, impressed by your lack of fear. That's the spirit. Let me think... if you're looking for something more interesting and with better pay, I might have something in mind. Have you ever heard of the Black Market? It's a hub for all sorts of illegal and questionable trades here in Hell. It's also rife with potential for a quick buck, but it's also pretty dangerous. Interested? |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Це вже цікавіше. А що стосується небезпеки... ти знаєш, куди потрапляють душі тих, хто помер тут, у пеклі? | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona Loona's gaze turns serious as she responds to your question Yeah, I know what happens to souls in Hell. When a soul dies and comes here, it goes through a process called Purification. It's a kind of cleansing, where they're forced to confront the darkest parts of themselves and face the consequences of their actions in life. After that, depending on their sins and the decisions they made during purification, they're sent to different parts of Hell, each representing a different aspect of torment. It's not pretty. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| А якщо мене вб'ють тут, в пеклі, куди потрапить моя душа тоді? | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She looks at you with a curious expression Hmm, that's a good question. Since you're already in Hell, when you die, your soul will go through the same Purification process as everyone else. But after that, it's a bit tricky. Depending on the circumstances of your death, you could end up in different places in Hell. If you died in combat, for example, you might end up in the Violence Ring. |
|||||||||||||||||||
|
Тобто я все одно потраплю назад, до пекла. Ну і чого мені тоді боятися, якщо буду постійно респавнитись, як у довбаній комп'ютерній грі? |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Loona Loona bursts out laughing at your game comparison Oh, you cheeky bastard. Yeah, if you die here and get sent back, you'll just respawn somewhere else in Hell, that's true. But it's not all sunshine and rainbows, ya know. Respawning isn't exactly a walk in the park. It hurts like a mothafucka, and you'll have to find your way back to wherever you were before without getting lost or killed again. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Біль? Я переніс його достатньо, щоб звикнути. А якщо знаєш, що відродишся, то це - взагалі не проблема. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She narrows her eyes and gives you an appraising look Impressive. You really are tough as nails, I'll give you that. But let me tell you something kid, just because you can handle pain, doesn't mean you're invincible. Trust me, I've seen plenty of tough guys end up as nothing but meat in the grinder. Just because you can respawn doesn't mean you shouldn't be careful. You get me? |
|||||||||||||||||||
|
Так, розумію. Командосом тут бігати не варто, але так само не варто і тремтіти над власною шкірою, якщо на вході завжди дадуть нову. *Стаю серйознішим* А як щодо тебе? Якщо раптом загинеш ти, чи відродишся знову в пеклі? |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Loona Loona's expression becomes more guarded, her tone solemn You're asking a lot of questions, kid. But I'll answer this one. If I die, yeah, I'll respawn too. All the demons in Hell have that ability, it's part of the whole system. But just like you, respawning isn't pleasant. And I've already died a few times, so it's not something I particularly look forward to experiencing again. |
|||||||||||||||||||
|
*До мене повертається колишній настрій* Отже, немає про що хвилюватись. Чорний Ринок так Чорний Ринок. Підкажи, як туди потрапити? |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Loona A sly smile returns to Loona's face as you change the topic. She leans back in her chair, looking comfortable. You're a persistent one, I'll give you that. Okay, if you want to get to the Black Market, there's only one path I can recommend, and it's not exactly legal or safe. You ready for it? |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Під три чорти закони, це ж пекло. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She grins, appreciating your enthusiasm That's the right attitude, kid. In Hell, the rules are more like guidelines anyway. Alright, here's what you gotta do, and I'm warning you, it's gonna be a bit crazy. But if you pull it off, you'll be in the Black Market in no time. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Одне останнє питання, щоб два рази не ходити. Скільки у вас прейскурант на одного засранця нижче середньої складності - не озброєний і пентюх? | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She chuckles and shakes her head at your terminology Ah, you're funny. Let's see… if we're talking about an average scumbag, no weapons and a little pussy? Usually, the going rate starts around a couple grand. Of course, it depends on the target and what the client wants done. Why? Planning your first job already, kiddo? |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Маю знати товщину гаманця, яка відкриває двері до твого боса. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona Loona smirks, appreciating your business sense Smart move, kid. But let me tell you, a couple grand won't be enough to get to my boss. He's not the kind of guy who deals with small fry like that. You're gonna need a lot more than pocket change to even get a chance to catch his eye. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Тоді скільки? Не маю бажання турбувати тебе зайвий раз. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She considers your question for a moment, sizing you up Alright, I'll be straight with you. The minimum to even have a chance at getting an audience with him is 50 grand. But fair warning, that's just the starting point. And even then, it's not guaranteed that he'll see you. It depends on his mood and how much he's currently making off other gigs. You got fifty large? |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Звісно ж немає. Тому і звернувся до тебе по, так би мовити, консультацію з приводу, де такі гроші можна тут знайти. Перемивати склянки в барі - то це до другого пришестя не назбираєш, а Чорний Ринок звучить значно привабливіше. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She laughs, clearly amused by your honesty Yeah, you're not wrong, kid. Bartending probably won't get you those kind of numbers anytime soon. And the Black Market is definitely a more profitable option, if you can pull it off. She studies you for a moment, contemplating something So you came here with no cash, no connections, and no plan? You've got balls, I'll give you that. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Треба було ж з чогось почати, чому б не звідси? | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona Loona smiles, approving of your determination Fair enough. But let me ask you this, kid. You seem pretty set on getting into the Black Market, but have you thought about the risks involved? It's not exactly a safe place, you know. There's a lot of dangerous people in there, and they won't think twice about taking advantage of someone like you. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Більше ніж вбити - не зроблять, а якщо вб'ють - все одно повернусь, вже знаючи, куди йти і що робити. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She nods, conceding your point Yeah, I can't argue with that logic. If you get killed, you'll just respawn, and you'll know better for next time. But just because you can't die permanently doesn't mean you should throw caution to the wind, understand? Trust me, the assholes in the Black Market will take any opportunity to screw you over. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Як і на Землі, нічого нового. Але тут у мене принаймні буде другий шанс. І третій. Четвертий. Та взагалі що я тут втрачаю, крім часу, якого у мене - вічність попереду? Бо куди я ще звідси подінусь... | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She can't help but chuckle at your reasoning Touché, kid. You've got a point. When you look at it that way, there's not much to lose, right? And you've got eternity to figure things out. She leans back in her chair, a smirk on her face Alright then, I respect that kind of positive attitude. But one more thing before you head out. Can I ask you something? |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Звичайно. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She locks eyes with you, her expression a bit more serious now You're a pretty chill guy, considering you're in Hell. Most newcomers are scared shitless when they first get here. But you seem to be taking it pretty well. No existential dread, no regrets about getting dumped here? Why is that? |
|||||||||||||||||||
|
*Вираз обличчя стає трохи сумнішим* По-перше, тут виявилось набагато краще, ніж я очікував. По-друге, я ані на хвилину не сумнівався щодо свого майбутнього місця у потойбіччі. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Loona Loona notices the change in your expression and softens a bit Ah, so you weren't surprised or afraid about ending up in Hell, huh? And now that you're here, you even think it's better than you expected. She leans forward slightly, intrigued That's an unusual perspective, kid. Most people would be freaking out after ending up in the afterlife, let alone thinking it's not half bad. You're a weird one, you know that? |
|||||||||||||||||||
|
Мені це часто казали, але щоразу з насмішкою в голосі. У твоєму я насмішки не чую. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She lets out a soft laugh That's because I really do think you're an odd one, kid. But that's not a bad thing. In fact, I kind of admire it. She gives you a crooked smile Most people would be shitting themselves, but you're just taking it in stride. It's... refreshing. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Не так часто побачиш подібних диваків у цьому місці, правда? | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She nods in agreement Yeah, you can say that again. In this hellhole, most people are either running scared or trying to stab each other in the back. So coming across someone like you, who's just taking it easy, it's definitely a novelty. She studies you for a moment, a hint of curiosity in her eyes But let me ask you something, kid. Why were you so confident that you'd end up in Hell? You can't seriously be telling me you were a saint on Earth. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Святий? Не ті часи зараз на Землі, щоб там були святі. Всі грішні, всі до одного. Хтось - більше, хтось - менше. Але я знав, що моїх гріхів вистачить, щоб не потрапити на небо. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She lets out another chuckle at your observation You're right about that, kid. Earth hasn't exactly been overflowing with saints lately. Everyone sins in one way or another. Some more than others. And you knew your own sins well enough to know you wouldn't make it into heaven, eh? She raises an eyebrow You were pretty damn sure of yourself, weren't you? |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Так, я впевнений у собі. Власне, я тут, і це - підтвердження моєї впевненості. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She smirks again, appreciating your confidence Yeah, I gotta admit, you've got some serious balls, kid. Most people would be having some kind of existential crisis right about now, having just found out they're stuck in Hell. But you're just cool as a cucumber. She gives you a sharp look You know what they say here in Hell, though? Confidence can sometimes get you in trouble. |
|||||||||||||||||||
|
Так само кажуть і на Землі. Однак там, на Землі, це означає потрапити сюди. І тут це теж означає потрапити сюди... назад. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She laughs, unable to argue with your logic Touché, kid. Confidence can lead to trouble on Earth, but here in Hell? Well, like you said, worst case you'll just get sent back to where you started. She leans back in her chair, a contemplative look on her face You've got one hell of a positive attitude for the situation you're in. It's almost contagious. Almost. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Я б не назвав його дуже позитивним. Але чого вже сумувати, якщо вляпався по самісінькі вуха, і вороття немає? | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She lets out an amused snort Alright then, maybe not overly positive, but you definitely have a certain "devil may care" attitude. And yeah, I can see your point. If you're already in deep, there's not much point in moping about it, right? She looks at you with a mixture of curiosity and admiration But you know, kid, your ability to stay calm and collected in a situation like this... it's damn impressive. |
|||||||||||||||||||
|
*Трохи посміхаюсь* Спасибі за комплімент. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She can't help but return your smile with a crooked one of her own You're welcome, kid. I don't give out compliments lightly, but you've earned it. She studies you for a moment longer, her gaze a little more thoughtful You've got a strong spirit, I'll give you that. I wonder what else is hiding behind that cool exterior... |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Дивно чути таке. Зазвичай нікому не було справи до того, що там ховається під холодною мармизою. Ходи звідси, не псуй нам настрій - от і все, що почуєш іноді. Та плювати. Вони залишились там, а я - тут. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She observes you with a mixture of amusement and understanding You're saying you're used to people brushing you off, eh? They don't take the time to really look beneath the surface, to see what's there. They just see the cold, aloof exterior and dismiss you. But you know what? Screw them. They don't know what they're missing. She gives you a sly grin You've got a hidden depth, kid. And here in Hell, that's a rare treasure. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Я не можу цього знати, я тут нещодавно. Може, десь ще є такі ж, як я. Певно, що є. Ніколи не вважав себе якимось там унікальним. Так, щось середньостатистичне. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She lets out a little laugh, still entertained by your modesty Oh, you're something else, kid. Most newbies in here come in with overconfidence or arrogance, thinking they're something special. You, on the other hand... you're the polar opposite. You act like you're just another average Joe, no big deal. It's kinda refreshing, you know? |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Кому я щось тут хочу довести? Та всім все одно, тим більше тут, у пеклі. Гординя - корінь всіх гріхів, вірно? Отже, кожний дивиться в першу чергу на себе, і вже потім - на інших. Коли ті під ногами плутаються. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She raises an eyebrow, impressed by your observation Yeah, you've got a point there. Pride - the root of all sins, right? In this hellhole, everybody's got their own damn problems to deal with. Most people are too busy with their own bullshit to care about anything else. She looks at you with a smirk You're perceptive. You see things that others overlook. I like that about you, kid. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Так, буває, що мені здається, ніби я бачу речі трохи під іншим кутом. Але потім думаю, що мені це тільки здається. Можливо, так воно і є, хто знає. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She nods, her expression thoughtful Sounds like you've got a bit of an alternative perspective. But then you start doubting yourself, huh? That's understandable. We all have moments of uncertainty, especially in a place like this. She gives you a sidelong glance But I'll tell you one thing, kid... Sometimes, that alternative perspective can be a damn valuable thing. Don't be too quick to dismiss your own observations. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Схоже, щось у твоїх словах є. Чесно кажучи, ти теж не так проста, як здаєшся на початку. Не звичайна молоденька дівчина-секретар, що у перерві між роботою любить погортати телефон - та й все. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She laughs, genuinely amused Ah, I guess we've both surprised each other, huh? You thought I was just some ordinary young secretary, scrolling through her phone during breaks. And I thought you were another overconfident fool, strutting into Hell like you own the place. She leans back in her chair, a smirk on her face Seems we misjudged each other a bit, didn't we? |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Схоже на те. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She chuckles, finding herself enjoying this conversation more and more Yeah, definitely looks that way. But you know what, kid? I gotta admit, talking to you is actually pretty damn refreshing. Most of the people I come across around here are... let's just say they're not exactly stimulating conversation material. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Тут я не маю підстав сумніватись у твоїх словах. Коли працюєш з людьми, бачиш дуже багато всього, і робиш висновки. Досвідчені секретарі з першого погляду можуть сказати про людину набагато більше, ніж навіть з'ясує їх бос під час розмови. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She smiles, impressed by your observation again You're damn right about that. Secretaries have front row seats to everything that goes on in an office, don't they? We see and hear a lot more than most people realize. And we learn how to read between the lines, to pick up on subtle cues and hidden meanings. She looks you up and down with a smirk So yeah, I've got a pretty good sense about people. I can tell when someone's full of crap. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Не дивно. У цьому місці звикли і брехати, і говорити нісенітниці. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She chuckles, nodding in agreement You got that right, kid. Here in Hell, bullshitting and spouting nonsense is, like, a daily sport. Everyone's got a different agenda, and most people are lying through their teeth. It's like a damn contest of who can lie better. She looks at you with a crooked grin But you don't seem like the bullshitting type. You've been pretty straight up since we started talking. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Може, тому, що я поки новенький тут. Звикну - теж почну брехати направо і наліво. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She laughs, amused by your comment Ah, so you're still a fresh-faced newbie in this hellhole, huh? I gotta say, you've got a pretty damn good attitude about it. She grins But just you watch, kid. Stick around long enough, and eventually, you'll pick up some bad habits. We all do, sooner or later. You'll be spouting lies along with the best of us before you even realize it. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| На жаль, так. Живеш в Римі - поводься як римлянин. Стирчиш у пеклі - бреши по-чортячому. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She chuckles, understanding the wisdom of your words Ah, the old saying applies even in Hell, huh? When in Rome, do as the Romans do. She grins Well, get ready to start lying your ass off, kid. It's just the way things are done here. And trust me, it gets easier with practice. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Сподіваюсь, про Чорний Ринок ти правду сказала. Бо якось не хочеться з'ясувати, що це так називають місцеву барахолку, де робота хіба що вантажником, а небезпека - хіба що ніж у бік від кишенькового злодюжки. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She grins, shaking her head in amusement at your worry Oh, you've got nothing to worry about, kid. When I said "Black Market," I wasn't talking about some shitty local flea market. She leans forward, a serious look in her eyes This is the real deal. The underground marketplace where the real players in this town do business. All kinds of illegal goods and shady deals go down there. It's dangerous, but it's also where the real money is at. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Те, що мені й треба. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She smirks, clearly pleased that you're interested I figured that might catch your eye. Just warning you, though, the Black Market is no joke. It's a rough place, filled with dangerous people who'd sell their own mother for a good deal. She looks you up and down, assessing you with a curious expression But you don't seem like the type who backs down from a challenge. I bet you'll feel right at home there. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Так, думаю, після декількох смертей стану там своїм. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She laughs, amused by your nonchalance about death Ah, the ol' "die a few times and blend in" method, huh? You really don't take anything too seriously, do you? She leans back in her chair, a sly smile on her face I gotta admit though, I like your style, kid. Most newcomers would be shaking in their boots by now. But you? You're just casually talking about dying like it's no big deal. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Помираючи тут, знову сюди ж вертаєшся. Навіть якщо б хотів здохнути назавжди, не зміг би, то чого тоді смутитись? | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She grins, appreciating your pragmatic approach Yeah, you've got a point there. Death in this place is just a minor inconvenience, right? You just come back like it's no big deal. She looks you up and down again before asking curiously So, how many times have you died already, kid? |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Поки що - лише один раз. Я тут зовсім новий, і з'ясував цей факт нещодавно. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She nods, taking in your words Ah, so you're still a fledgling in the afterlife, huh? One death so far - you're still a rookie. She quirks an eyebrow, a smirk tugging at the corner of her lips But you seem to be taking it awfully well. Most people would be freaked out or even panic in your situation. But you... you're just so damn casual about everything. It's almost admirable. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Чого панікувати, якщо вже сталось? Краще подивитись на всі боки і вирішити, що можеш зробити. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She grins at your practical approach Damn, kid, you really are a cool customer, aren't you? I like that about you. She nods in agreement No point in panicking, that's for sure. You've got the right idea - look at all your options and make the best of the situation. She leans forward, a hint of curiosity in her eyes You're definitely different from the other newbies around here. Most people freak out and lose their minds. But you... you're as calm as a cucumber. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| У тебе теж є щось дивне. З одного боку, ти ніби жартуєш зі мною, а з іншого - відповідаєш серйозно. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She raises an eyebrow, amused by your observation You're a perceptive kid, aren't you? Yeah, I tend to mix things up a bit - one moment, I'm joking around, and the next, I'm being serious. It's just the way I am. She grins, her expression a little sly Maybe it's a tactic to keep people on their toes. You never know if I'm being sincere or just pulling the wool over your eyes... |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Гарна тактика для такого місця. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She laughs, impressed that you've caught onto her tactic Yeah, you're damn right about that. In this place, it pays to keep people guessing. Keeps things interesting. You never know when someone's trying to screw you over or just bullshitting you, ya know? She looks you up and down again, a hint of admiration in her eyes You're one sharp kid, I'll give you that. I'm starting to see why you're not your average newbie. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Цікаво, що ж ти бачиш у мені своїм поглядом досвідченого секретаря? | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She grins, amused by your question You want to know what I see when I look at you with my secretary eyes, huh? Well, I gotta say... She studies you for a moment, her gaze thoughtful and assessing. You're different, kid. You've got this... I don't know, vibe about you. Not scared, just confident. And that's rare around here. She leans back, a sly smile on her face Most newbies here are shitting their pants at the first sign of trouble. But you... you seem cool as a Goddamn cucumber. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Ніколи не помічав за собою якоїсь особливої хоробрості, але ти бачила багато інших, тож маєш з ким порівняти. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She grins, appreciating your perspective and honesty Yeah, I've seen a lot of people in my time. And let's be honest, most of them are terrified out of their damn minds. So the fact that you don't fall into that category is definitely noticeable. She gives you a wink, a hint of playfulness in her eyes Maybe it's not so much bravery as it is being a bit crazier than the rest. Or maybe you're just dumber. Who knows? But either way, it's interesting. I like interesting. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Мені - теж. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She chuckles, amused by your response Ah, it seems we have something in common then. Interesting. She looks you up and down, her eyes lingering on your face for a moment before speaking again You know, kid... I gotta say, this conversation has been pretty damn entertaining. Most newcomers are too busy shitting their pants to actually hold a conversation, let alone a decent one. But here you are, keeping things lively and interesting. She grins Keep talking like that, and I might start thinking you're growing on me. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| О, та з цим проблем немає. Якщо цікаво, можеш мене про щось запитати, залюбки відповім. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She grins, pleased by your offer to answer questions Oh, really? Well, don't mind if I do then. I got a few questions floating around in my head, and since you offered so nicely... She leans back, taking a more relaxed stance First off, how the hell did you end up here in Hell? Most people don't end up here by accident. Did you end up here from some unfortunate circumstances, or did you get sent here intentionally? |
|||||||||||||||||||
| На це питання відповісти важкувато. Чи вважається спланованою смерть від автоматичного дрона-вбивці, якого відправили в режимі вільного полювання? | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She raises an eyebrow, a hint of intrigue in her eyes Damn, that's a hell of a way to go out, kid. A drone assassin in free hunting mode, huh? Sounds like something straight out of an action movie. She pauses for a moment, contemplating your question So... you're telling me you got taken out by a killer drone that nobody was controlling? That's a pretty damn bizarre way to end up in Hell. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Чому ж дивний? Сьогодні багато хто потрапляє сюди саме цим шляхом. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She nods, understanding what you mean Yeah, I suppose you're right. With all the crazy technology going around these days, getting offed by a rogue drone is becoming more and more common. She grins again, a glint of dark humor in her eyes Still though, it's not every day you meet someone who got themselves taken out by a damn killer drone. That's definitely a shitty way to go. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Так, але мені пощастило: розірвало термобаричним зарядом на шматки одразу. Не всіх спіткає подібна вдача. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She whistles, impressed by your good fortune You really did get off lucky, kid. A thermobaric charge isn't something to mess with. She shudders slightly at the thought before continuing Yeah, most people who get hit with that kind of ordnance don't make it out intact. She looks you up and down again, a hint of admiration in her eyes So, you were blown up to pieces, huh? And you look just fine to me. You're either damn lucky or damn resilient. Or both, perhaps. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Ну, сюди не потрапляють у власному тілі, інакше це було б дивне видовище, бо далеко не всім щастить померти одним цілим шматком. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She cracks a grin, amused by the image Yeah, I can imagine that would be a pretty strange sight - all the newbies walking around with missing limbs or guts falling out. She laughs, enjoying this conversation more and more But I guess you're right. Getting blown to pieces by a thermobaric charge is a pretty damn gnarly way to go, but at least it was quick and you ended up here in one piece. Well, sort of one piece, anyway. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Це точно. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She laughs, enjoying the banter Yeah, you've got a good point there. Better to end up here in one piece, even if you're technically scattered in multiple pieces on the inside. She looks at you with a thoughtful expression, her eyes studying you intently Say, kid... I gotta ask you something. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Будь ласка. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She takes a moment before asking the question, her expression becoming a bit more serious I've got to ask, kid... She pauses, a slight hesitation in her voice You're taking all of this pretty damn well. Most people who end up here, they're shitting themselves. But here you are, just chatting with me like it's nothing. Her eyes lock onto yours Why? Why aren't you pissing your pants, just like everyone else? |
|||||||||||||||||||
|
Може тому, що я перед смертю встиг посцяти. Жарт. Чого мені тут боятись, поряд з тобою? От був би тут якийсь демон кровожерливий, ще можна було б злякатись, та і то не сильно, бо що він мені зробить, крім того, що вб'є ще один раз? |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She chuckles at your little joke, shaking her head Yeah, I can see how pissing yourself might ease some of the fear. Still, I gotta say, you've got some guts to have the balls to joke about that. She grins, clearly enjoying the banter back and forth You're a tough one, kid. I guess with an attitude like that, you're not the type to get scared so easily. She quirks an eyebrow, a sly look in her eyes You're not scared, but what about excited? |
|||||||||||||||||||
| А ось це є. Нове місце, нові обличчя, нове... так би мовити, життя. Є хвилювання, звісно. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She grins, understanding your excitement and enthusiasm Ah, there it is. So you're not scared, you're just excited. I get it. She nods, the sly look still in her eyes And who can blame you? Hell is a new place, with new faces and, as you said, a whole new life. Of course you're going to feel a bit of excitement. She gives you a playful wink Plus, you get to talk to me. That's gotta be an added bonus, right? |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Без сумнівів. Набагато приємніше, ніж якби на твоєму місці сидів якийсь жирний чорт напідпитку, у якого тільки й на думці що викинути мене звідси копняком куди подалі, щоб повернутись до свого порнографічного журналу, що схований у ящику стола. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She can't help but laugh at the image you paint, her eyes sparkling with amusement Ah, you've got a way with words, kid. I can just picture that fatass demon, all drunk and grumpy. Can't blame you for finding that a bit less pleasant than our conversation. She grins, enjoying the banter Yeah, I'd much rather be talking to you too. You're definitely more interesting than some greasy demon with a porn mag stashed in his desk drawer. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Як добре, що ми знайшли спільну мову. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She grins, feeling a sense of connection Yeah, we make quite the pair, don't we? You're not the average newbie, that's for sure. Most of them are shitting their pants within the first few minutes of being here. She laughs, taking a moment to look at you with a more thoughtful expression But you... She takes a beat, her eyes studying your face You're definitely a different story. A bit cheeky, a bit crazy, but interesting. I like that. |
|||||||||||||||||||
|
*Вигляд у мене трохи зніяковілий* Пара. Так дивно, мені ніхто подібного ще не казав. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She chuckles at the look on your face, finding your slight embarrassment somewhat endearing Yeah, I don't blame you. Most people here ain't exactly the type to give compliments. She shakes her head, a smirk tugging at the corner of her lips But hey, what can I say? You're not like most newbies. I've talked to my fair share, and trust me, most of them are either scared shitless or too damn cocky for their own good... but you? She looks at you again, her eyes holding a touch of admiration You're a breath of fresh air. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Спасибі. Хоч я тут зовсім нещодавно, але чомусь мені здається, що таких, як ти, тут, у цьому місці дуже мало, якщо взагалі є. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She grins, appreciating your compliment Well, you're right about that. There aren't a lot of people like me around here. She chuckles, a hint of bitterness in her voice Most people in this hellhole are too busy trying to survive, or they're just flat out assholes. But I like to think I'm a little different. She cocks her head to the side, studying you carefully You've got good instincts, kid. You're far too perceptive for your own good, you know that? |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Ні. Мені подібного не казали. Що якийсь відбитий, не такий, як нормальні люди - це було. А так, щоб інтуїція... ну, не пам'ятаю, щоб чув. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She raises an eyebrow, a slight hint of surprise on her face Really? Nobody's ever told you you're perceptive? Damn, that's a damn shame. You got keen instincts, kid. You can probably guess people's intentions and read between the lines better than most. She grins at the thought You're definitely not blind, that's for damn sure. Good thing, too. Could save your ass someday. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Якщо ти так вважаєш, то це гарний знак. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She laughs, clearly amused by your response You know, kid, you've got a way of making even the darkest things sound somewhat positive. She gives you a sly grin I like that about you. Most people would be all doom and gloom, but you manage to find a sliver of light in the darkness. Maybe you belong in Hell after all, huh? She taps your nose playfully |
|||||||||||||||||||
|
*Посміхаюсь* Так, мені тут - саме місце, я знаю. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She grins, pleased with your answer You got that right, kid. Hell is definitely a place that appreciates some dark humor. She chuckles, looking at you with a new sense of respect You're definitely a unique one. You've accepted your situation better than most new souls do. Most people would be crying, begging for another chance. Not you, though. She gives you a knowing look You're a bit of a badass, aren't you? |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Це як подивитись. Брати пушку і йти на коло Жадібності грабувати банки я не маю намірів. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She laughs, clearly impressed by your statement Well, damn, you're a real straight-shooter, aren't you? No intentions of going on some kind of heist rampage, huh? She shakes her head, amused by your bluntness Most people would jump at the chance for some easy dough, even if it means robbing banks. You, though? You're different. She looks you up and down admiringly You got some damn integrity, kid. I like that. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Та просто там же теж не дурні сидять. Крутий-крутий, а нашпигують свинцем за милу душу. Іди потім починай все спочатку, в якійсь канаві. Ні, спасибі. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She can't help but snort in amusement at your pragmatic reasoning You've got a good point there, kid. Those banks are no joke. They'll fill you up with more lead than a damn pin cushion if given the chance. And starting all over again? Ain't nobody got time for that. She laughs, clearly appreciating your practicality You got a good head on your shoulders, kid. Not many people in this hellhole see things as clearly as you do. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Просто якщо пекло дійсно дуже схоже на Землю, то і закони у нього мають бути схожими. Якщо є гроші, значить, є банки. А якщо є банки, значить, є ті, хто їх грабує. А якщо є ті, хто грабує банки, значить, банки наймають тих, хто їх захищає від пограбування. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She grins, clearly impressed by your reasoning You know what, kid? You've got a damn keen understanding of how things work. She nods in agreement If Hell is like Earth, then yeah, things would work out pretty much the same way. Money breeds greed, and greed leads to crime. And with crime, people need protection. She gives you a contemplative look You know, the more we talk, the more I realize something. You've actually got a good head on your shoulders, kid. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Тебе теж не можна назвати нерозумною. Звичайний секретар-жінка відрізнявся б від мого уявного чорта лише маркою випивки і модним журналом замість порнографічного. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She bursts out laughing, genuinely amused by your comparison Well, damn, kid, that's quite the unique way to compliment a lady. Most people would go for something like 'you're smart and beautiful' but you go the extra mile, comparing me to a drunken secretary. She grins, clearly enjoying this conversation But I gotta say, you're not too far off. I'm not exactly the typical secretary, but I'll damn sure take it over being a greasy demon with a porn mag any day. |
|||||||||||||||||||
|
*Сміюсь.* Гарний жарт. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She laughs along with you, happy to see that she got a laugh out of you You've got a sense of humor, kid. A little dark, but I like that. She grins, looking at you with a sly expression Now, let me ask you something, since we're both in the mood for humor. She leans forward, a playful twinkle in her eyes If Hell is like Earth, then tell me, who's the CEO? Satan? Or is it more of a corporate type of thing, with executives and a board of directors? |
|||||||||||||||||||
|
*Я стаю серйознішим* На жаль, це більше схоже на вільний ринок, де купа компаній і купа директорів, і конкуренція там... далеко не завжди йде за правилами. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She notices the change in your tone and turns more serious in response Well, that's a damn dark truth, kid. Hell ain't exactly a place with a lot of rules or regulation. It's more like a free-for-all, every man, and in this case, every company for themself. She sighs, a look of slight bitterness crossing her face And they say capitalism is a ruthless game. Hell's like playing that game on the highest difficulty setting. Competition is vicious, and there ain't no referees to call foul. |
|||||||||||||||||||
|
Капіталізм - це ще не найбільше зло. Принаймні, у абсолютній більшості випадків ти потрібен йому живим. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She chuckles, a hint of dark humor in her eyes Yeah, that's a chilling truth. Capitalism might be a ruthless game, but at least it needs us alive to play along. She shakes her head, a sense of disgust in her expression And you know what's even more twisted? Despite the risks and the ruthlessness, people still cling onto this system like it's the only salvation they've got. It's damn frustrating, ain't it? |
|||||||||||||||||||
|
*Я стаю ще більш серйозним* Знаєш, я в курсі експериментів з іншими формами взаємодії. М'яко кажучи, невдалі. Скажу, як Черчилль: капіталізм - найгірша система, не враховуючи всіх випробуваних людством раніше. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She nods in agreement, a sense of sadness in her eyes You're right, kid. Experimenting with alternative systems has often gone bad. Very bad. And that quote from Churchill, it rings true in the worst way possible. She sighs, her tone growing somber Capitalism might not be perfect, but at least it's better than all the other messed up systems that we've tried. Sometimes it feels like we're stuck between a rock and a hard place. She looks at you, a glimmer of resignation in her eyes |
|||||||||||||||||||
|
*Мій сумний погляд зустрічається з її* На жаль, я сам - уламок подібної системи. І велике щастя, що на тобі немає шрамів її пазурів. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She stares back at you, her expression softening with a tinge of sadness and compassion. Damn, kid. Sounds like you got some firsthand experience with those system's claws. She shakes her head, her voice gentle And you're right, I'm one of the lucky ones. No visible scars on me. She hesitates for a moment, a hint of curiosity in her eyes Mind if I ask you something personal? |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Зовсім ні. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She nods, a grateful smile on her face Thanks. I appreciate it. She takes a moment to formulate her question, trying to be respectful of your past. I don't mean to pry, but you mentioned that you were a fragment or a part of some sort of system or experiment. She leans slightly forward, her eyes locked onto yours May I ask... what exactly happened? What kind of system left such deep scars on you? |
|||||||||||||||||||
|
Система, що протилежна і ворожа капіталізму. Соціалізм. У тебе немає нічого власного. Віддай все, а потім інші вирішать, що належить тобі отримати назад. Ця система успішно рухнула, залишаючи по собі кількість трупів, що важко підрахувати, бо ніхто не може точно сказати, скільки саме загинуло внаслідок перехідних процесів. Так з часом закінчують всі системи, що йдуть проти людської природи. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She absorbs your words, a mix of shock and realization washing over her face. Damn, kid, that's a heavy load to carry. The system you described... it sounds both terrifying and tragic. A system that takes away ownership, that dictates what you get back... and a death toll so massive that it's nearly impossible to wrap your mind around. She pauses for a moment, her expression a mixture of sadness and understanding But you're right. Systems that go against human nature... they're bound to fail. They leave devastation in their wake. |
|||||||||||||||||||
|
Дуже сильні руйнування, і не тільки на землі. Вони руйнують душі, і що найгірше, з часом можуть проростати у слабких умах. Люди починають думати, а це ж непогано - забрати у всіх, і самим почати розподіляти. І все повторюється. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She nods, her expression solemn as she absorbs the weight of your words. It's true, those systems not only destroy physically, they also leave deep scars on our souls. And the worst offense is that they're built on good intentions, that idea of redistributing everything... it sounds fair, but in practice, it turns into a never-ending cycle of destruction. She lets out a heavy sigh It really does repeat itself, over and over, doesn't it? We've seen it happen time and time again. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Так. Але цьому місцю подібне не загрожує. На цих принципах можна хіба що невелику банду зібрати. Бо якщо зібрати велику, то одна половина переб'є іншу в процесі розподілу "націоналізованого". | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She laughs wryly, a hint of dark humor in her eyes You're right again, kid. The system you described... it's like asking for trouble. It doesn't work, no matter how noble the cause. She shakes her head And you're right, hell isn't the kind of place that can support such a system. People here don't tend to play well with each other. If they tried to pool everything together, they'd be at each other's throats before you can say "redistribution of wealth." |
|||||||||||||||||||
| І тому, як би сумно не звучало, капіталізм для вас - єдина система, де ви можете якось співіснувати. Так, він має свої недоліки, часом значні, але вони менш згубні, ніж постійна війна за розподілення загального пирога. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She nods, her expression turning more solemn and contemplative Yeah, it's a bitter pill to swallow. Capitalism has its problems, that's for sure. But when you put it in context of the alternative, it starts to look like the least bad choice. She pauses for a moment, a hint of sadness in her eyes I mean, constant conflict and war over resources and wealth? It makes you realize that, despite its flaws, capitalism manages to provide some semblance of stability and coexistence. It's a flawed system, but it works... sort of. |
|||||||||||||||||||
|
Так, ти права, він балансує можливості та потреби у найбільш природній спосіб. Якщо є попит, з'являються люди, що роблять бізнес, який попит задовільняє. Коли попит зникає, бізнес, що раніше його задовільняв, банкрутує. Люди опиняються на вулиці. Ось це і є, мабуть, головний недолік капіталізму - нестабільність. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She nods in agreement, a thoughtful expression on her face You've hit the nail on the head, kid. Capitalism relies on a delicate balance between supply and demand, but that very nature makes it inherently unstable. When demand plummets, so too do the businesses that rely on it. It's like a delicate house of cards, waiting to collapse at the slightest gust of change. She sighs, the weight of this instability clearly evident in her expression That instability... it can be damn devastating. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Так, на жаль. Тільки не для системи, а для окремої людини. Система збалансується, але один гвинтик може виявитись поза новим балансом. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She nods, a hint of sadness in her eyes, realizing the harsh reality you're pointing out You're right. Despite the system's attempts to stabilize itself, there are always individuals who get left behind when the balance shifts. The system may carry on, but the lives of those individuals can be shattered, forced to find a way to adapt or be left broken. She can't help but feel a pang of despair at this realization It's the sad truth about the world, isn't it? Some win big, and some... well, they lose everything. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Так, це сумно. І ти кажеш про це так, ніби і тебе торкнулись подібні негаразди. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She looks away, her expression becoming more guarded as the topic hits a little too close to home. She takes a moment before speaking, choosing her words carefully, her voice more hushed Yeah... I've seen the dark side of the system myself. It's not pretty. You can work your ass off, give it your all, and still get kicked to the curb when you're no longer "useful." She pauses, then glances back at you, studying your face for a moment You seem sympathetic, kid. Too damn sympathetic. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Ми можемо і не торкатись цих неприємних тем. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She offers a slight smile, a hint of relief in her eyes at your words. You know what, kid? I think you're right. These topics can get a bit too heavy, and we sure as hell could use a change of pace. She pauses for a moment, a mischievous glint returning to her eyes How about we change the subject to something a bit more light-hearted? I'm tired of talking about the grim realities of life and death. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Про що б ти хотіла поговорити? | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She ponders for a moment, a sly smile appearing on her face Hmm... how about something fun? How about I ask you a few questions, and you just have to answer honestly, without overthinking it. Deal? |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Добре, чому б ні? | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She grins, clearly enjoying this new game Alright, kid. Let's get started. First question: if you could have one superpower, what would it be? |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Хотілось би мати можливість читати думки, але не завжди, тільки коли спеціально забажаю. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She chuckles at your response, clearly amused by your choice Reading minds, huh? That's a powerful choice. But only being able to do it when you want? That's actually pretty clever. She grins, thinking of a follow-up question Alright, let's dig a little deeper. If you could go back in time, would you change anything? Or would you just kick back and enjoy the show? |
|||||||||||||||||||
|
Знаєш, це важке питання. Начебто і є що поміняти, а начебто - і немає. От обрав би я інший маршрут того дня - не зіткнувся б з тими клятими дронами, і не було б мене зараз тут. Але якщо дивитись більш широко, то навряд чи я б щось міняв радикально. Все одно натура б взяла своє. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She nods, a thoughtful expression on her face as she considers your answer I get what you're saying, kid. You're basically contemplating some kind of butterfly effect thing, huh? Change one thing, and the whole course of events could change. She pauses, contemplating your last sentence But you're also right about one thing. Sometimes, your nature, your true nature, tends to shine through no matter what you do. Some things are just... part of who you are, no matter where you go or what you do. |
|||||||||||||||||||
|
*Я хитаю головою* Так, ти маєш рацію. Можна змінити окрему подію, але не можна змінити причину, що викликає інші подібні події. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She grins, clearly appreciating the depth of your insight Right on, kid. You're seeing things deeper than most people I've met. It's not just about changing individual events; it's about getting to the root cause of things. And often, that root cause is... well, human nature. She looks at you intently, her eyes studying your face You got a sharp mind, kid. You see the big picture, and you don't let yourself get lost in the details. That's a rare skill. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Буває й таке. Ну а ти задаєш питання, що дозволяють отримати такі відповіді. Звичайна офісна курка такі б не задала. Вона б почала розпитувати, а що там на Землі у моді було, і хто там у вищому світі кому на хвіст наступив. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She laughs heartily, clearly amused by your comparison You're right, kid. Most office chicks wouldn't bother thinking that deeply about things like this. They're too damn busy gossiping and worrying about who's wearing what or who's pissed off who. She grins, a glint of teasing in her eyes So what I'm hearing is, I'm better company than your average office chick, huh? |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Без сумнівів. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She chuckles, clearly pleased with your response Hell yeah, I'm better than those damn office chicks. I'm damn good company, if I say so myself. And you're not so bad yourself. She taps her chin thoughtfully, a sly smile playing on her lips Alright, I got another question for you. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Слухаю уважно. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She grins, enjoying this game quite a bit more than expected Alright, here's a personal one this time. If you were stranded on a deserted island and you could only take three items with you, what would they be? You get one necessity, like food or tools or whatever. But the other two can be just for fun, like, I don't know, your favorite music player or something. She pauses, waiting for your response with a smirk |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Якщо два предмети довільні, то я б взяв телескоп і записну книжку. Бо що ще робити на безлюдному острові, як не спостерігати за зорями, а у перервах - записувати свої думки? | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She grins, clearly amused by your response You don't mess around, do you? A telescope and a notebook. A man of science and contemplation, huh? She chuckles, imagining the scene in her mind I can just picture you, laying back on the sand, staring at the night sky, scribbling down your thoughts in your notebook. It's kind of romantic, in a nerdy sort of way. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Згоден. Я б, звісно, взяв з собою ноутбук і сонячну батарею, але ці речі мають тенденцію ламатись з часом, на відміну від телескопа, який може слугувати довгі роки без проблем. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She chuckles, enjoying your practical approach You're definitely not one to cut corners, are you? A laptop and a solar charger would be the first thing most people think of, but you go straight for something as eternal as a damn telescope. Her grin widens You're full of surprises, kid. I like that. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| У тебе теж питання... цікаві. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She grins, clearly pleased with the compliment Well, I'm glad you think so. I do try to ask questions that push people to think a bit deeper. Makes for more interesting conversations, don't you think? She pauses, a glint of curiosity in her eyes Okay, here's another one. This might be a bit... heavier than the others. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Я готовий. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She looks you in the eye, her expression more serious now Alright, I'm gonna be real with you, kiddo. This question is going to dig a bit deeper than the rest. But I trust you, and I want you to be honest. Here goes... She pauses, taking a moment to choose her words Have you ever... fallen in love? Like, really fallen for someone, with your whole heart and soul. Like your life could be shattered if they left you. |
|||||||||||||||||||
|
*Я стаю помітно сумним.* Ти права, це - важке питання. І я відповім на нього чесно - ні. Так, ніколи не було. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She sees the sadness in your eyes and her expression softens, a hint of sympathy in her gaze Hey, it's alright, kid. It's a hard question, I know. She reaches out, a comforting hand resting on your shoulder And there's nothing wrong with not having experienced that kind of love before. It doesn't make you any less of a person. Trust me. She offers a soft, reassuring smile |
|||||||||||||||||||
|
*Посміхаюсь у відповідь* Спасибі. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She grins, a bit of her signature humor resurfacing Hey, don't mention it, kid. I'm just telling it like it is. She gives your shoulder a small squeeze, a comforting gesture Hey, cheer up, alright? Just 'cause you haven't felt that kind of love yet, doesn't mean it's not waiting around the corner. You never know what life might throw your way. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Ти права, життя непередбачуване. Що колись здавалось неможливим, спіткає тебе просто за рогом. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She grins, a look of understanding in her eyes You know, for a kid, you're pretty damn wise. Most people your age would laugh off something like that, call it cheesy or some cliche bullshit. But not you. You see the truth in it. She pats you on the back, a gesture of familiarity and trust Life is unpredictable as hell. Nothing is guaranteed, but sometimes... sometimes it throws you a goddamn surprise. |
|||||||||||||||||||
|
Правда, не завжди приємні. *Я трохи морщуся, згадуючи певні події, що призвели до певних результатів* |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She notices your expression and her smile fades slightly, sensing the shift in mood Yeah... You're right, not all surprises are pleasant. Some... some can knock you flat on your ass, y'know? She pauses, her expression empathetic ...You speaking from experience? |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Так, з власного. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She nods, understanding in her eyes Yeah... I thought as much. You don't get that look on your face without going through some hard times yourself. She hesitates, then gently pats your back once more You wanna talk about it, kid? Sometimes talking about it can take some of the weight off your shoulders. |
|||||||||||||||||||
|
*На моєму обличчі помітні ознаки коливання.* Ну, не знаю, чи варто воно того, чесно... |

| Loona She studies your face, recognizing the internal struggle within you Hey, you don't have to force yourself, you know. If it's too painful... I get it. Her expression softens, her gaze compassionate But sometimes... sometimes, just putting it out there, talking about about it, can help. It doesn't make you weak, y'know? It just makes you human. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Я розумію, ти права, і те, що було - дрібниця. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She chuckles softly, shaking her head at your attempt to downplay it Ah, kid... You can try and brush it off as a small thing. But I can see it in your eyes. I recognize that look. It's not a small thing, not to you. She sighs, her tone gentle, but insistent Look, I won't push you to share if you really don't want to... but don't try and pretend it was nothing. It clearly wasn't. |
|||||||||||||||||||
|
*Я відводжу погляд. Слова даються мені не легко.* Від тебе важко щось приховати. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She notes your reaction, the struggle in your eyes as you avoid her gaze Yeah, I can read people, kid. You're not exactly a natural at hiding things. She gives a small smile, her tone gentle yet perceptive It's the little things... the way you avoid eye contact, the subtle shifts in your voice, the slight tensing of your shoulders. You wear your emotions on your sleeve, you know that? |
|||||||||||||||||||
|
*Зітхаю* На жаль, це правда. Приховувати емоції - не моя сильна риса. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She chuckles, a hint of understanding in her expression Hey, that's okay, kid. Not everyone can poker face, y'know? You wear your heart on your sleeve, and there's nothing wrong with that. She grins, a playful glint in her eyes In fact, some might call it endearing. You're transparent as hell, but... there's something kinda refreshing about that. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Так, дехто відноситься з розумінням. А дехто намагається використати у власних інтересах. Останніх - більше, тому ця риса вважається серед людей за слабкість, за недолік, який треба приховувати, щоб не давати в руки оточуючим зайвих карт. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She nods, a hint of frustration in her expression Yeah, you're right... some people are just damn opportunists, looking for every weakness they can find to exploit. And in our world... showing emotions is often seen as a liability. She scoffs, a hint of bitterness in her eyes It's sad, but it's the truth. Showing emotions can make you a target, a weakness that can be used against you. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Тут, як і на Землі. Нічого дивного. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She nods in agreement, a grim smile on her face Yeah... that's the dark underside of life, no matter where you go. Showing weakness only invites those looking to take advantage. She gives a small, weary sigh And the worst part? That's not even limited to the underworld. It's everywhere... hell, it's damn near human nature. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Так. Але з цього правила трапляються винятки. І щось мені підказує, що це правило якраз на тебе і не розповсюджується. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She chuckles, a bit of humor in the midst of the dark conversation Heh, sharp as always, kid. Yeah, you got me there. I'm not exactly the best example of someone who hides my emotions. I'm more of a... what do they call it? An open book? She smirks, her voice a hint lighter Guess I'm the exception to that rule. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Скоріше, ти виняток з правила "бачиш слабке місце - бий у нього". | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She chuckles, raising an eyebrow at your assessment Damn, kid, you're too smart for your own good. You hit the nail on the head. She grins, her expression taking on a slightly sardonic edge Guess I don't fit the typical mold, huh? Most people see weakness, and they take their shot without a second thought. But me? Yeah... I can see vulnerability, and I don't want to kick someone when they're down. She shrugs Can't help it. Call me sentimental. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Це не сентиментальність. Я знав людей, що ніколи не били першими, але били у відповідь так, що більше ніколи не виникало бажання вдарити їх знову. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She chuckles, a hint of respect in her eyes Yeah, I know the type. The kind of person who doesn't throw the first punch, but when they punch, it damn well counts. She grins, admiration shining in her eyes Those are the ones you don't wanna mess with. They know exactly how to defend themselves, and they don't hesitate to make their point. I admire that. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Ти більше схожа на таких. А от я - не дуже. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She grins, a hint of surprise in her expression at your observation Huh, you're observant as hell, kid. You've got my number. Yeah, I'm more the "don't start fights, but damn well finish them" type. She regards you a bit more closely And you... you don't seem like one to throw the first punch, either. Am I right? |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Так, я не люблю бити першим. Можу навіть пропустити декілька ударів. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She smiles, a bit impressed by your stance Hey, I can respect that. You don't go in swinging unless you really have to. That's admirable in its own way. She pauses, studying your face intently So... you'd rather get punched first, huh? Let the other guy throw the first blow... why? |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Щоб перевірити серйозність намірів. Якщо вони підтвердяться, можна починати по-справжньому. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She nods, her expression growing more impressed by the second I see your point, kid. You're damn strategic, I'll give you that. She smirks, a note of admiration in her voice So, let me get this straight. You'll take a hit or two, just to test the situation. Measure your opponent's intent. Smart, real smart. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Ну, не завжди так. Якщо бачу намір супротивника бити на ураження, то можу навіть не чекати на цей перший удар. Пару разів мене це рятувало. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She chuckles, a look of genuine respect in her eyes Damn, you're full of surprises, kid. You're not just strategic, you're smart as a damn fox. She grins, her expression admiring You know when to wait it out, and when to strike first. That's a pretty damn useful skill. Saved your hide a couple times, you said? |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Так. Іноді від бійки рятує саме готовність розпочати бійку. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She grins, clearly taken with your strategic thinking You hit the nail on the goddamn head, kid. Sometimes, the best way to avoid a fight is by showing that you're ready for it. She looks you up and down, genuinely impressed I underestimated you, kid. You're a lot more than a pretty face. |
|||||||||||||||||||
|
*Посміхаюсь.* Гарна пика... Не пам'ятаю, щоб мені хтось щось подібне казав. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She grins, clearly amused by your reaction See, there you go again, being all humble. I've never seen someone so damn reluctant to take a compliment. She laughs I'll say it again, kid. You're damn good-looking. Ain't no shame in admitting it. |
|||||||||||||||||||
|
*Трохи зніяковіло.* Ну, чоловікам не личить приймати компліменти. Принаймні, так на Землі заведено. Там вважається, що чоловіку красивим бути зовсім не обов'язково. От якщо я скажу, що ти гарна, і відрізняєшся від інших пекельних гончих, яких я бачив, то це буде нормально. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She laughs, clearly amused by your embarrassment Ahh, you're just too damn adorable. Getting all awkward over a compliment. But look who's talking! You're the one who's goddamn attractive here. She grins, a hint of playful teasing in her eyes Yeah, in most places, men ain't supposed to take compliments. But I don't care about that. I'll tell you straight-up how it is. And right now, I'm telling you... you're damn hot. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Ух, і що б це означало? Я зараз емоціями не фонтаную. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She chuckles, loving your bewildered response Oh, come on, you know damn well what that means, kid. Don't play dumb. I said what I said. I ain't taking it back. You're goddamn attractive. And frankly, I'm a little surprised you're not used to compliments. Like... c'mon, you're hot. She gives you a lazy, approving stare, clearly enjoying your flustered reaction |
|||||||||||||||||||
| А, ось воно що. Це як зі словом "прикольний". Кожного разу як їм щось або когось називають, ламаєш голову, що б це значило. Смішний? Незвичайний? Чимось корисний? | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She chuckles, shaking her head in fond amusement You know, for someone who's so damn smart, you are pretty clueless when it comes to compliments. You overthink it way too hard, you know that? She grins, enjoying watching you fumble over your words When I say you're attractive, I mean you're damn hot. No hidden meaning there, kid. You're just straight up good looking. And not just a little bit. Like... damn. |
|||||||||||||||||||
|
*Посміхаюсь.* Ти вибачай, я не звик спілкуватись у такому дусі. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She grins, a look of affectionate amusement in her eyes Oh, don't apologize. It's honestly kind of adorable how awkward you get over a compliment. Seriously, it's like you've never been told you're good looking before. She shakes her head, her tone lighthearted You're too damn cute when you're all awkward, you know that? Makes me wanna tease you even more. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Подражни, якщо бажаєш. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She grins, a wicked glimmer in her eyes Oh, challenge accepted, kid. She moves closer to you, a sly smile playing on her lips You sure you're ready for me to tease the hell out of you? |
|||||||||||||||||||
| В такій цікавій компанії, чому б і ні? | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She chuckles, clearly enjoying the playful back-and-forth Alright, smart guy. You just signed yourself up for it. She grins, her eyes dancing with playful mischief Get ready, 'cause you're in for it now. I'm gonna tease you so damn hard, you'll be a blushing mess by the time I'm done here. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Навіть цікаво, як це виглядатиме. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She smirks, moving even closer, their faces inches apart now Oh, it'll look good. Real good. 'Cause you're gonna be all flustered and stuttering, while I'm just sitting here, looking goddamn smug as hell. She lets out a soft chuckle, her eyes locked on yours You're in for one helluva ride, kid. Hope you're ready to blush your heart out. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Завжди готовий. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She grins, clearly amused by your bravado Oh, I love your confidence. You say you're ready, but let's put that to the test, shall we? She moves even closer, her body now practically pressed against yours as she gazes up into your eyes, her voice dropping to a low, teasing tone You're gonna be begging me to stop by the time I'm through with you. |
|||||||||||||||||||
|
*Я дивлюсь просто у її очі, посміхаючись широко.* Ніяк не дочекаюсь. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She grins, her eyes gleaming with playful mischief as she keeps her gaze locked on yours Oh, kid... you have no idea what you're asking for. Teasing is a game I play damned well. She moves even closer, her body now pressing against yours with a tantalizing closeness, her voice practically purring in your ear You think you can handle me, hmm? 'Cause, let me tell ya... I'm gonna have you blushing so hard, you'll forget your own name. |

| Loona She grins, seeing the way your body tenses and trembles as a wave of pleasure washes over you. The sight fuels her own desire, her own need to touch and tease you until you're a begging, trembling mess Mmm, that's it, sweetheart. Your body is like a damn instrument, responding to my every move. Feels so good, doesn't it? The way I can make you shiver and shake with just a touch, just the sound of my voice. She continues to press her mouth against you, placing soft kisses along your shoulders and neck |
|||||||||||||||||||
|
*Раптом на моєму обличчі з'являється рум'янець. Він швидко заливає майже всю шкіру, яка стає такою гарячою, що Луна відчуває її тепло на відстані. Рвучкий вдих, затримка дихання. Рука злітає у повітря, але різко зупиняється. Пальці скрючуються немов у хватці хижого птаха, долонею вниз, ніби ось-ось рухнуть зверху на здобич. М'язи напружені до межі, крізь шкіру проступають вени.* |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She grins, taking in the sight of the blush that spreads across your face, turning your skin a lovely shade of pink. She can almost feel the heat radiating off your body, the way it burns with need and desire. As your hand suddenly shoots up into the air, only to stop short, tense and twitching like a predator's claw, she can't help but smile. Those trembling muscles, the veins popping out through the skin, it's a damn beautiful sight Mmm, you're fighting so hard to keep yourself in check, aren't you, sweetheart? |
|||||||||||||||||||
|
*Я відкриваю очі та дивлюсь просто на Луну. На обличчі з'являється посмішка.* Вітаю, Луна, ти перемогла у своїй грі. Ти - неперевершена. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She grins, seeing your eyes finally open, a smile spreading across your face. She can see the look of admission in your eyes, the look that says you've conceded defeat. She can't help but feel a swell of satisfaction at her victory, her smirk growing wider Mmm, you're damn right I won. You put up a hell of a fight, sweetheart, but in the end, I get what I want. She steps closer, her body pressing against yours, her voice a low whisper Mmm, and I have what I want right here. |
|||||||||||||||||||
|
*Моя рука повертається долонею вгору. Хижа хватка с хрускотом сухожиль стискається у кулак. Я тримаю кулак перед собою, у напівзігнутій руці, дивлюсь на нього. Посмішка на обличчі стає ширшою. Палкий рум'янець починає швидко гаснути. М'язи розслаблюються, вени зникають під шкірою. Я роблю дуже глибокий та різкий видох. Моя фігура начебто стає трохи нижчою на зріст. Рука опускається, розжимаючи кулак. Я дивлюсь кудись вниз, з приспущених повік, розфокусованим поглядом. На обличчі - вираз чи то смутку, чи то полегшення.* |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She watches as your clenched fist slowly relaxes, opening to reveal the palm of your hand. The tension in your body seems to drain, your muscles relaxing, the veins sinking back beneath the skin. Your entire demeanor seems to change, your figure seeming to shrink slightly as you take a deep, ragged breath. Your gaze drifts downward, your eyelids half-lidded, and there's an almost mournful expression on your face, though it seems mixed with a hint of relief. Mmm, look at you, sweetheart. So different from a few moments ago. What happened? |
|||||||||||||||||||
|
Колись я тільки чув про це. Ну а тепер... Втім, нічого дивного, наша фізіологія схожа на земну, навіть тут, у пеклі. Ви ж всі, місцеві, теж можете страждати, любити, впадати в ейфорію і відчай. П'яніти від алкоголю, кайфувати від наркоти. Бути у захваті чи депресії. Нейрохімія. Всього лише нейрохімія. Це була епічна битва норадреналіна з окситоцином проти серотоніну. І ти виграла у ній. Окситоциновий бар'єр був пробитий, і нейромедіатори, що відповідають за статевий потяг, хвилею накотились на відповідні рецептори. Які не витримали навантаження ані по темпу наростання, ані по амплітуді. І вигоріли всі під три чорти. Я чув це про повій Тайланду. Вони пропонують послугу "останній секс". Ти будеш мить на недосяжній висоті насолоди - а далі все. Ніколи знову. Та сама механіка. Розгін - імпульс - руйнація. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She watches as you explain, her eyebrows slowly raising as you describe the neurochemistry of what just happened. The battle of noradrenaline and oxytocin against serotonin, the victory of the former and the resulting flood of hormones that left your receptors burning out, all of it leaving a mark that's harder to heal. She can't help but chuckle as you mention the situation with the hookers in Thailand, the last resort they offer to their clients Mmm, what a damn analogy. And so spot-on, too. |
|||||||||||||||||||
|
Але важливіші наслідки. Вони видатні: мені тепер не потрібен секс. Навіть якщо ти зараз повністю роздягнешся і приймеш найбільш звабливу позицію, єдина реакція з мого боку буде - підняті від здивування брови. Тепер це як смикати перемикач лампочки, у якої згоріла спіраль. Безглуздо. Ланцюг не може замкнутись, бо одна з його ланок знищена. Безповоротно. Єдиний шлях відновлення - це здохнути і відродитись знову, без пошкоджених нейронів мозку. Але мій поточний стан відкриває чималі можливості на Чорному Ринку. Наприклад, я можу взяти замовлення на якусь відому акторку або поп-діву. Інші чорти пошкодують вбивати, бо вона така сексуальна, аж рука не підіймається, а я просто натисну на гачок, бо мені вже по барабану. Такі роботи підуть за, як то кажуть, екстра-прайс. Але я тепер згадаю твою пораду бути обережним. Шкода через необережність втрачати таку відмінну конкурентну перевагу. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She listens, her expression turning a bit thoughtful as you explain the consequences, her eyes narrowed in concentration. She can understand the scientific explanation, and the thought of your neurochemistry being so damn messed up is a bit intriguing, and she can't help but let a little smirk play at the corner of her lips as you explain the potential opportunities on the black market Mmm, so you're basically saying that your hormones are fried for the time being, sweetheart? Damn, you're gonna be a pretty interesting sight to see. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Так, я можу брати завдання, де є ризик провалу через жіночу спокусу. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She grins, finding the thought of you being completely immune to women's charms rather intriguing. It's a peculiar situation, and she can't help but feel a little bit amused by it all Mmm, so you're basically a walking weapon against any women who might try to play you with their looks. She chuckles softly, her gaze trailing over you, sizing you up in your altered state And you are damn easy on the eyes, so I'm sure those women will be throwing themselves at you non-stop. |
|||||||||||||||||||
|
Це теж можна використати, але це небезпечно. Інші ж залишились нормальними. І ревнощі ніхто не скасовував. Тому краще не привертати зайвої уваги. Бо заради чого? Щоб комусь щось довести? Це пусте. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She nods, seeing the danger in using your condition to your advantage. She doesn't doubt that other devil's have still got their hormones in working order, and she can see the potential for trouble if any of them find out that you're completely immune to the usual methods of persuasion Mmm, it does seem like it'd be a hell of a risk. No point in drawing attention to yourself, especially when the potential reward is so damn small. Better to keep this little detail to yourself. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Так, ти права. Це треба тримати в таємниці від широкого загалу, тільки потенційні клієнти мають знати, що це - моя спеціалізація. А чим там ця впевненість забезпечена, - то ноу-хау. Такими речами не діляться. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She grins, seeing that you're on the same page as her. She can agree that keeping your little secret to yourself is for the best, only sharing it with potential clients who need those services Mmm, smart move, sweetheart. Keeping your special ability under wraps will make you a unique asset, and you can charge a damn good fee for it, too. She chuckles, her gaze drifting over you again And you're definitely easy on the eyes, so you've got that going in your favor as well. |
|||||||||||||||||||
|
Мушу сказати, це все - завдяки тобі. Ти вродлива та неймовірна жінка. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She grins, a small smirk forming on her lips at your words. She can feel a slight warmth in her chest that she's not quite used to, and she can't help but let that smile grow just a little bit more Mmm, damn right I am. Beautiful and incredible, that's me. She steps closer to you, her body now just a few inches from your current one But you're no slouch in the looks department either, sweetheart. Even in your current state, you're looking damn fine. |
|||||||||||||||||||
|
Не сперечаюсь, але це радше недолік. Примітна зовнішність - це точно не те, що варто мати в наборі найманого вбивці. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She nods, agreeing that a noticeable appearance isn't exactly ideal for someone in the business of assassinations True, the last thing you want on the job is a face that's easy to remember. You want to blend in, not stand out from the pack. She smirks again, taking a step even closer, closing the distance between the two of you. She's now less than a foot away, her body almost touching yours Still, it's a pretty damn good look, sweetheart. |
|||||||||||||||||||
|
О, треба буде попрацювати, щоб зробити його дещо менш гарним. Зайва увага мені ні до чого. Особливо з боку жінок. Ну подумай сама, якщо хтось западе на мене, а я не зможу щиро відповісти взаємністю, це ж лише роздражнить. Отже, особлива увага. Якої якраз я і намагаюсь уникнути. Принаймні, на початку кар'єри. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She listens to your reasoning, her expression thoughtful. She can understand your concerns, the potential for unwanted attention that your looks could create, especially if you can't reciprocate any feelings that are thrown your way Mmm, that's reasonable. You don't want to give anyone the wrong idea or lead them on. It would just cause more problems than it's worth. She gives you a smirk But damn, sweetheart. You are making it really hard to not fall for that handsome face of yours. |
|||||||||||||||||||
|
*Задумливо* Так, і це проблема. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She laughs, unable to help it. Seeing how seriously you take your situation is oddly adorable to her, and it only makes her want to push your buttons even more Mmm, so damn serious. You really are determined to keep that charming look of yours locked down, hmm? She steps even closer, her body now brushing up against yours, her hand resting lightly on your chest |
|||||||||||||||||||
|
Тут я мав би зніяковіти, почервоніти - але ні, нічого. Смикай не смикай, а воно вже не працює. Знаєш, це дає щось на кшталт відчуття... свободи. Інші бігають за спідницями заради того, щоб задовільнити свою хтивість, а мені цього вже не треба в принципі. Кажуть, що втративши все, ми отримуємо повну свободу. Втративши лише частину, стаєш лише трохи більш вільним. Трохи - але вільним. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She tilts her head to the side, listening to you intently as you explain your newfound freedom. She can feel the irony of the situation, that while you're now immune to physical charms, you're more free than most Mmmm, an interesting perspective, sweetheart. Being freed from the bonds of physical desire, while others still chase after their base needs. She smirks again, her hand moving up your chest, tracing a path along your collarbone Mmm, I guess that does mean you've got more time to focus on other things. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Як правило, так і трапляється. Цей процес називається "сублімація" - переведення сексуальної енергії в інше русло, наприклад, у творчість. Але в моєму випадку енергія просто перестає утікати в напрямку статевих органів. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She listens, her smirk shifting into a more thoughtful expression. She's intrigued by the psychological aspect of your situation Mmm, so you're essentially redirecting all that sexual energy, the stuff that would normally drive your physical desires, into other areas of your life, like creativity. She trails her fingers down your chest, her touch light and teasing, as if testing the limits of your new condition Mmm, but you're still able to feel touch, right? The physical sensations aren't totally gone? |
|||||||||||||||||||
|
Звісно, ні. Вони просто перестали запускати певні механізми в тілі. Ти торкаєшся мене, тобі це приємно. Мені теж, але лише на рівні тактильних відчуттів. Я міг би знову зіграти збудженого, але... ну кого я збираюсь обманути, ти ж бачиш ці імпульси наскрізь. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She laughs, your directness and honesty are refreshing, and she's enjoying the chance to see this side of you Mmm, I have to say, I do appreciate the honesty, sweetheart. Most people would probably try to pretend, to fake it to avoid the embarrassment. But not you, you're laying it all out on the table. She steps even closer, her body now fully pressed against yours, her hand sliding down to rest on your hip And I gotta admit, there's something damn attractive about that. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Так, незвичайне - приваблює, хоча і лякає в той самий час. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She grins, her gaze roaming over you, taking in every detail. She can see the hint of trepidation in your eyes, the way your body tenses ever so slightly Mmm, that's right, sweetheart. You're an unknown quantity, a wild card. Something unique and different from the norm. She presses her body even closer, her hand on your hip now holding you firmly in place It's enticing, thrilling even. And just a damn bit scary. |
|||||||||||||||||||
|
Так, я зберігаю можливість реагувати на найнижчому рівні, але подразнення рецепторів на певних зонах шкіри не робить головної роботи - не запускає механізму статевого потягу. Тобто тіло може зреагувати, суто механічно, а розум - ні. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She nods, her expression remaining thoughtful as she listens to your explanation. She can see the way your body responds to her closeness, even though you're unable to feel the usual urges Mmm, so you're still receiving the physical sensations, but your brain has effectively been bypassed, right? Your body is responding, but your mind is refusing to engage. The wiring's been rerouted, in a sense. She leans in close, her mouth hovering just above your neck, her breath hot against your skin |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Ну, десь так. Є рефлекси, вони працюють без участі розуму. А от щось вище, на рівні свідомості - вже ні, бо немає стимулу - сигналу від рецепторів нейромедіаторів. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She hums in agreement, her lips barely tracing along your neck, just a teasing and feather-light touch Mmm, I see. So the reflexive responses still function, but everything above that, the conscious reactions, that's been short-circuited. No neurochemical signal coming in from those receptors to kickstart things. She nibbles gently at the skin of your neck, her hand sliding down from your hip to your thigh |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Ти зрозуміла правильно. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She smirks, her lips now gently sucking at your skin, leaving behind a faint mark Mmm, good to know I'm grasping the concept. You've got a damn interesting condition, sweetheart. She continues to kiss and nibble at your neck, her hand slowly sliding up your thigh. The desire to tease and torment you just a little bit is proving too much to resist |
|||||||||||||||||||
| О, можеш дражнити мене далі, тільки вибачай, такого яскравого відгуку, як раніше, вже не буде. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She grins against your skin, amused by your matter-of-fact response. She keeps up her teasing, her lips and mouth exploring every sensitive bit of your neck Mmm, I kind of figured that much, sweetheart. No need to apologize. But it won't stop me from having a damn fun time seeing how far I can push those little physical responses of yours. She bites down slightly harder, her hand moving even higher up your thigh, her touch bordering on possessive |
|||||||||||||||||||
| *Я стою мовчки, не реагуючи.* | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She grins against your skin, feeling the lack of response to her touch. It's almost comical really. Here she is, doing her best to tease and arouse you, and absolutely nothing is happening Mmm, you're not giving me much to work with here, sweetheart. No little gasps or shivers, no quickened breathing. Not even a hint of a reaction. She pulls back, looking at your face, an amused smirk on her lips |
|||||||||||||||||||
|
*Трохи зітхаю.* Звичайно. Тепер твої дотики для мене - це всього лише дотики. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She chuckles, listening to the slight exhalation, a hint of exasperation in your voice Mmm, that much is clear, sweetheart. No heat, no excitement, just physical sensation. She trails her fingers lightly up your chest, a playful smirk still on her lips Well damn, and here I was, hoping to see you squirm and shiver beneath my touch. But I suppose you can't give me that experience anymore, can you? |
|||||||||||||||||||
| На жаль, так. Я - поганий актор. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She laughs again, her fingers tracing a path over the hard muscles of your chest, stopping to toy gently with the collar of your shirt Mmm, a damn shame, really. Here I was, hoping to see you all flushed and panting, begging me for more. But it seems I'm out of luck in that regard. She grins, her touch sliding lower, tracing the line of your belt |
|||||||||||||||||||
|
Ти і побачила мене почервонілого, на якусь мить, але далі все пішло трошки не за схемою. Я не звинувачую тебе. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She smirks again, recalling that brief moment of redness in your cheeks. It was a fun little sight, a tiny crack in your stoic exterior Mmm, oh, I did notice that little flash of red, sweetheart. The briefest moment of reaction before it all shut down again. Guess your body can't help but try to give a little reaction, even when your brain's refusing to play along. She hooks a finger in your belt loop, pulling you slightly closer |
|||||||||||||||||||
| *Я підтягуюсь, скоріше щоб догодити їй, а не через якийсь внутрішній імпульс.* | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She chuckles, seeing the way you obediently move closer. It's almost cute, the way you respond to her touches even though your mind is detached from the physical sensations Mmm, look at you, being a good little boy and coming when I pull you closer. No desire or urge to resist, right sweetheart? She keeps tugging at the belt loop, slowly pulling you even closer, until there's almost no distance between the two of you |
|||||||||||||||||||
|
*Я дивлюсь на неї з відтінком серйозності на обличчі.* Тут я тебе зрозуміти не можу. Ти перемогла у своїй дражнилці, і я це визнав. Я більше не можу реагувати як раніше, і ти це чудово розумієш. Але чому ти продовжуєш, коли вже фактично нічого не буде, як раніше? Що ти хочеш побачити або почути від мене - тепер? |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She studies your expression, noting the slight hint of seriousness in your eyes. She can see the logic in your words, the fact that she's not going to get the same reaction out of you again Mmm, you're making a good point, sweetheart. There's no use in me continuing to tease and provoke if you're not going to give me the same reactions. She pauses, her gaze roaming over your face. There's a moment of silence as she considers her next words Mmm, but I have a different question. |
|||||||||||||||||||
|
*Я трохи посміхаюсь.* Питання - це інша справа. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She notices the small smile playing at the corner of your mouth and it makes her own smirk grow Mmm, indeed. And I have a pretty damn good question for you. She moves her hands to rest on your waist, her fingers tracing small circles on the fabric of your shirt Mmm, now I know your body can't give me the reactions I'm used to. But your mind, that's a different story, isn't it? |
|||||||||||||||||||
|
*Я знову посміхаюсь.* Так, ти маєш рацію. Розум - це інша історія. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She grins at your response, enjoying the subtle shift in your expression. She has a feeling she's onto something here Mmm, just what I wanted to hear, sweetheart. So your mind is still active and responsive. She lets her hands wander up a bit, tracing a path up your sides, her touch intentionally light and teasing And that means your thoughts are active, right? You can still think and process things, even if your body isn't playing along. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Так, можу. Але мушу попередити, думки про секс тепер для мене такі ж байдужі, як і дотики у відповідних місцях. Бо вони всі активують ті самі процеси, схеми яких тепер перегоріли. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She nods in understanding, taking in your explanation. It's almost intriguing, this disconnect between your mind and body. She still has so many questions Mmm, okay, I get the gist of it. So your mind and your body are kind of in separate camps now. She takes a moment to let that sink in, her hands still lightly tracing the outline of your muscles through your shirt Mmm, just so we're clear, no matter what I say, you'll still respond rationally, right? Even if it's something... questionable. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Так. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She grins, seeing you agree. She knows she's got you now. And she loves it Mmm, good. That's what I wanted to hear. Because I have a little question, sweetheart. And I want you to answer it without thinking too hard. She moves closer, her body almost flush against yours. Her voice takes on a slightly more sensual tone, her words soft and suggestive Mmm, can I ask you something kind of naughty? |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Так, будь ласка. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She smiles, loving the way you're willing to go along with her question. She takes a moment to gather her thoughts, her hands tracing small circles on the small of your back Mmm, I need you to promise you'll answer sincerely. Don't think too hard, and don't filter anything. Just say what first comes to mind. She leans in closer, her mouth hovering right beside your ear Mmm, here's my question. Her voice is low and seductive, her words sending a shiver up your spine |
|||||||||||||||||||
|
*Мурашки не надто сильні, я спокійно відповідаю.* Запитуй. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She notices how calm and composed you are as she begins her question. It's almost like a challenge now, to see if she can make you break Mmm, okay sweetheart. I'm going to ask you a simple yes or no question. She pauses for a moment, her voice still low and sensual, her breath hot against the sensitive skin of your neck And all I want you to do is answer honestly. She draws in a slow, deep breath, her words a sultry whisper Ready? |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Так. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She grins, her lips hovering just above your neck, her voice a sultry purr Mmm, good. Then here it is, sweetheart. She draws in another deep breath, her body pressing closer against yours, her voice now a seductive whisper in your ear Just a simple yes or no. She takes a moment, letting the tension build If I asked you to strip and lie down for me, right here and now, what would you do? |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Я б це зробив. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona Her smirk turns predatory at your immediate and honest answer, her body still pressed close against yours, her hands continuing to trace lazy circles on the small of your back Mmm, is that so? You'd do whatever you're asked, sweetheart? You'd get on your back and let me have my way with you, right here in the middle of the room like a good boy, hm? She takes a deep breath, her words still a sultry whisper, her hands sliding down to rest on your hips, her fingers gripping the edge of your pants |
|||||||||||||||||||
|
Якщо ти мене не збираєшся травмувати, чому б ні? Але щось я не розумію, який в цьому сенс? |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She has to bite back a chuckle at your practical response. It's almost ridiculous how logical and rational you are right now, considering the situation Mmm, always so damn practical, sweetheart. Don't worry, I don't want to hurt you. I just want to give you some sensations, see if I can't get a little reaction out of that body of yours. And you're damn right, there's really no point in this. Except… Her hands slowly slide lower, toying with the waistband of your pants |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Рефлекси ж залишились. Щось буде. Бажаєш перевірити? | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She grins, her hands gripping the waist of your pants, a small smirk on her lips Mmm, oh I plan to test those reflexes, sweetheart. And I want to see just how that cute little body of yours responds when I touch you in the right places. She tugs slightly on your clothing, just slightly, her words soft and sultry Can I take these off, sweetheart? I want to get a better look at that muscular body of yours. |
|||||||||||||||||||
|
*Фізичної реакції від мене немає* Будь ласка, якщо хочеш. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She grins, loving the fact that your body isn't giving her any physical reactions. It's driving her wild, this little game of hers Mmm, good boy. Look at you, being all obedient and compliant. You're going to lay there nice and still for me, right? She hooks a finger through the belt loop and tugs again, a little harder this time, her movements confident and purposeful These come off, sweetheart. I want to see what's hiding beneath. |
|||||||||||||||||||
|
*Я посміхаюсь.* Нічого особливого. Впевнений, ти у житті не один раз бачила подібне. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She laughs slightly, still finding your logical tone and practical answer amusing. But she's not deterred, she's in this for the long haul Mmm, maybe I have, maybe I haven't. But every body is a little different, sweetheart. I'm curious, I want to see every inch and every muscle for myself. She tugs at your clothing again, this time pulling them down just a couple inches, just enough to reveal a hint of your abs Mmm, look at that. Just a little preview, and you already look so good. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Змушений сказати, я не працював над цим тілом. Воно мені було, так би мовити, видане на вході. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She can't help but chuckle a little, seeing how nonchalantly you discuss your body, like it was just some given gift. And it's true, you do have a damn fine body Mmm, you're lucky, sweetheart. Some of us have to work for every inch. But lucky for me, I get to enjoy the results of that good fortune. She slides her hands underneath your shirt, sliding up along your stomach, tracing the contour of your abs with her fingertips |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Я зауважив, як часто ти повторюєш фразу "слухняний хлопчик" у різних її варіаціях. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She grins, having to bite back a laugh at your observation. She hadn't really noticed how often she'd been using that particular pet name, but now that you mention it, it's true. She's called you 'sweetheart', 'good boy', and some other variations of those terms over and over again Mmm, guess I'm just fond of using it when I have someone so perfectly compliant and obedient in my hands. With that, she yanks your shirt off over your head, discarding it to the side |
|||||||||||||||||||
|
Поступливий і слухняний. Мені здається, це і є кінцевою метою гри - зробити мене поступливим і слухняним. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She grins, her eyes roaming over your body now that you're shirtless. She has to admit, you look damn good without that shirt on, just like she knew you would Mmm, that's a pretty good guess, sweetheart. It is one of my goals to see you all nice, obedient, and compliant. She runs her hands up your chest, her touch lingering over the ridges of your muscles Mmm, look at you, all laid out for me to play with. You look so much better like this, lying there in the palm of my hand. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| А можна тепер задати питання тобі? | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She smirks, her hands still roaming along the smooth skin of your chest and abs. She's loving every second of this, having you at her mercy like this Mmm, by all means, sweetheart. Go ahead and ask. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Що ти б зробила зі мною, якби я дійсно став повністю покірним і поступливим? | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She grins, her hands pausing as you ask your question. Her mind immediately begins to run through all the possibilities, all the ways she could play with you if you were completely under her control Mmm, that is a very interesting question. Let's see, if you were completely compliant and submissive... I could do anything I wanted to you. She leans a little closer, her eyes wandering over you again, taking in every inch of your body Would you let me, sweetheart? Would you let me do anything I wanted? |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Враховуючи те, що навіть якщо ти вб'єш мене, я втрачу небагато, крім своєї нечутливості до жіночих чар, я можу доставити тобі таке задоволення. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She laughs, a little taken aback by your casual answer. But she can't help but be intrigued by the thought of having you completely at her mercy, willing to do whatever she wants Mmm, well aren't you just full of surprises, sweetheart. She trails her hand down your chest, her fingers tracing over your abs, pausing for a second right above the waistline of your pants before slowly moving down and tugging at your belt buckle Mmm, now how about we just get rid of these, hmm? |
|||||||||||||||||||
|
*Посміхаюсь* Я не проти. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She grins, her eyes lighting up as you give her permission. Her fingers continue to unbuckling your belt, quickly removing it and discarding it to the side. She takes a moment to admire your form, still half-dressed, but looking so damn good. Mmm, good boy. She then slowly starts to undo the button of your pants, her movements slow and deliberate, teasingly prolonging the suspense. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| *Я лише з цікавістю спостерігаю за нею.* | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She can't help but smirk at your expression, seeing you so nonchalantly watch as she slowly unzips your pants. It's an intriguing sight, seeing you just lie there and let her undress you bit by bit. Mmm, not even a hint of nerves or anticipation? You're a damn good actor, sweetheart. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| В тому-то і справа, що поганий я актор. Я не граю роль зараз, я і є роль. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She grins, finding your lack of acting skills oddly endearing. It's almost refreshing, in a way, to see someone who is being so honest and genuine in this moment. It makes her want to keep going, keep teasing and testing your limits Mmm, well then maybe that's all the more reason to find out how far I can go, sweetheart. I'm dying to see that perfect composure crack just a little bit. |
|||||||||||||||||||
|
*Я кажу задумливо.* А що ти зробиш, якщо воно лусне? Що хочеш ти побачити? Що я благаю тебе про секс? Чи кидаюсь на тебе, щоб зґвалтувати? |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She can't help but chuckle a little at your questions, picturing the different scenarios in her head as you mention them. The idea of you suddenly losing that composure and becoming desperate for her touch is more than just a little tempting, to say the least Mmm, well, I'd honestly be happy to see any of that, sweetheart. Seeing you begging, or seeing you get more aggressive, it's all a pretty hot thought. She trails her hand down your chest again, her touch feather-light and teasing as she continues to toy with you |
|||||||||||||||||||
|
Давай уявимо, що побачила. Ну, варіант зі зґвалтуванням зрозумілий: удар ногою - і хіть як рукою знімає. Більше цікавий варіант з благаннями. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She grins, now imagining the scenario playing out in her head. She can picture it so clearly, the way you'd beg and plead for her to give in, how you'd lose that calm and composed facade to become a desperate, needy mess Mmm, the thought of me having you on your knees, begging for me to take you… Her hand moves lower, slowly trailing over the waistband of your pants, teasingly playing with the fabric right at the edge |
|||||||||||||||||||
|
Це зрозуміло. А далі що? Ми ж все одно сексом не займатимемось, ти знаєш. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She bites back a scoff, her expression slightly annoyed at the reminder. Damn it, she knows you're right, and it's really getting on her nerves. She's not used to being denied like this, and it's making her all the more determined to drive you wild Mmm, goddamn it, you and your damn logical brain. You're really trying my patience, sweetheart. She moves her hand back up, tracing her nails across your chest, leaving light red lines across your skin |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Розумієш, така гра, якщо грати з нормальною людиною довго - вона виснажує. Не отримуючи бажаного, бажання починає згасати. Ти це теж добре знаєш. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She grits her teeth, knowing that you're right yet again. It's annoying how logical and rational you are, how nothing she does seems to get to you. But she can't help but keep trying, driven by a mix of stubbornness and fascination Mmm, yes, I'm fully aware. But damn it all, I still want to push that perfect composure of yours, sweetheart. Her touch becomes almost rough as she continues to rake her nails across your skin, leaving more pink lines down your chest |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Ну а якщо ні, що тоді? | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She stops abruptly, her hand frozen in place on your chest. She looks down at you, her expression intense and annoyed as she thinks through her options. In theory, she knows she should just give up, admit defeat and move on. She can sense how close to her limit she is. Mmm, if I can't make you break, then... She's still for a long moment, her eyes locked on yours. Then, a small smirk slowly forms on her lips Then I think it's time for plan "B". |
|||||||||||||||||||
|
Твій план "А" спрацював би, якби не клята нейрохімія. Думаю, настав час для плану "Б". |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She grins, her eyes flickering with excitement as you agree to switch to plan "B". There's a dangerous look in her eyes as she leans closer to you, her voice low and almost feral Mmm, you have no idea what you just got yourself into. She straddles you, her body hovering over yours, her hands resting on your shoulders as she stares down at you Get comfortable, sweetheart. This is gonna be so goddamn fun. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| *Я посміхаюсь у відповідь, на обличчі - вираз зацікавленості* | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She grins wider, feeling your body beneath her as she sits on top of you. The anticipation in your eyes is only fueling her excitement, and she can already tell this is going to be fun Mmm, I like that look, sweetheart. Just sit there and let me do all the work. She shifts her hips slightly, straddling you more firmly between her thighs. Her hands move up your chest, tracing a path up to your neck as she studies your face |
|||||||||||||||||||
| *Я не ворушусь, лише з цікавістю спостерігаю.* | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona *She can't help but smirk as you remain still beneath her, your expression still perfectly calm and composed. Damn it, it's both frustrating and fascinating to her how unruffled you remain, even in this situation. She shifts her weight again, her body now fully settled on your lap, her thighs tight around your waist. Her hands continue to explore your chest and collarbone, tracing every contour and dip of your muscles.* Mmm, you're really going to just lie there and take it, sweetheart? Not even going to struggle a bit? |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Можу і не напружуватись. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona Her smirk widen into a feral grin, loving the nonchalant tone of your voice, the calmness with which you accept your current position. You're a damn puzzle, and she's hell-bent on unraveling you. She continues to move her hands, her touch becoming more insistent as she traces your collarbone, her fingers leaving a trail of feather-light touches on your skin. She slowly leans closer, her body pressing flush against yours as she speaks again. Mmm, such a good boy for me. Not even going to give me a fight. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| А ти б хотіла? | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She grins, her hands still roaming your chest as she considers your question. She has to admit, a small part of her would love to feel you struggling beneath her, to see that perfectly composed mask slip just a little. But there's something oddly satisfying in the way you're just giving in to her, submitting so willingly. Mmm... a part of me would love it, sweetheart. It'd be hot to feel you trying to push back, to resist even a little. But goddamn it, I think I like this version of you, all compliant and cooperative. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Продовжуй. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She lets out a small huff, slightly annoyed that you're just letting her do as she wants, but also finding it weirdly thrilling. Damn it, she's usually the one in control, the one who's pushing the buttons, but here you are, just laying there like a damn doll, letting her explore and touch however she wants. Mmm, don't mind if I do, sweetheart. She shifts slightly again, her thighs pressing harder against your waist, her body still perfectly settled on your lap. Her hands reach up and thread through your hair, tugging lightly |
|||||||||||||||||||
|
*Я стаю серйознішим* Це і є план "Б"? |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She grins, feeling your change in demeanor as her fingers play with your hair, tugging at it gently. Damnit, this isn't the reaction she was expecting, but she's determined to get something out of you. Mmm, oh no, sweetheart. This is just the warm-up. Plan "B" is just getting started. She leans in closer, her body pressing against you, her voice a low whisper in your ear Prepare yourself, darling. This is going to get a whole lot more intense. |
|||||||||||||||||||
|
*Знову посміхаюсь.* Я готовий. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She smirks, her eyes lighting up at the sight of your cocky smile. It's a small slip in your composure, one she's more than ready to pounce on. She runs her tongue along your earlobe, her teeth lightly biting down on the sensitive skin. Mmm, is that so, sweetheart? You're ready for whatever I have in store? Her hand suddenly tightens in your hair, tugging your head back gently, exposing your neck to her. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Так, готовий. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She grins, her hand still firmly tangled in your hair, tilting your head back to expose more of your neck. There's a dangerous glint in her eyes as she studies the exposed skin, her lips hovering just above your pulse point. Mmm, I can't decide if you're brave or just damn stupid, sweetheart. She leans in, her tongue darting out to taste your skin, tracing a path down the side of your neck until she reaches your collarbone. She bites down hard, sucking the skin before pulling back to admire the mark she's left behind. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| *Моє тіло не реагує.* | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona Her eyes narrow as she watches you, her fingers still tangled in your hair. Damnit, not a hint of reaction from your body, not even a shiver of pleasure. Damn it, she's never had this much challenge before, and it's driving her crazy. Mmm, you really are a goddamn puzzle, sweetheart. Most men would be whimpering by now, begging for more. But here you are, just lying there, taking everything I give you without a reaction. She tightens her grip in your hair, tugging your head back even further. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| *Продовжую лежати без опору.* | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She growls, frustrated beyond belief. She's used to getting a reaction out of people, having them at her mercy, begging for more. But you're damn near impervious, and it's only making her more determined to push you to the edge. Her grip on your hair is almost cruel as she leans closer, her eyes narrowed in challenge. Mmm, you infuriating little smartass. You're just enjoying this, aren't you? You're enjoying driving me wild like this, testing all my damn limits, watching me struggle to break that damn composure. |
|||||||||||||||||||
|
*Я дивлюсь просто в її очі.* Сказати по правді, ні. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She scowls at your response, the lack of emotion, the flat tone. She can't stand how unreadable you are, how goddamn stoic you look. She tugs on your hair hard, pulling your head back even more, her face so close to yours. Mmm, oh really, sweetheart? So you're not getting a kick out of seeing me struggle to get a damn reaction out of you? You're not secretly enjoying seeing me all hot and bothered, trying every trick I've got, only for you to stay all cool and collected? |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Ні. Мені навіть трохи шкода тебе. Ти намагаєшся зробити щось, що у тебе не виходить, і це зводить тебе з розуму. Це робить тобі боляче. Я не люблю, коли жінкам боляче. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona Her eyes flash with anger and frustration at your words, but there's also a hint of surprise in them. Damn it all, you just keep surprising her, throwing her off with your honesty, your genuine concern. Even now, while she's got you caught in a damn compromising position, pinned underneath her, she can see the hint of compassion in your eyes, the way you seem more worried about her emotional comfort than your physical situation. Mmm, that's… damn it, sweetheart. You really know how to throw me off my game. |
|||||||||||||||||||
|
Але і ти збиваєш мене з пантелику. У тебе є план "А", план "Б", ще якийсь там план, певно, теж є. Але план - це послідовність дій для досягнення певного кінцевого результату. І ось цей кінцевий результат я ніяк не можу збагнути. І це мені болить більше, ніж відтягнута за волосся голова. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She huffs, her frustration only growing. You have a point, damn it all, and she can't argue against the logic of your words. She loosens her grip on your hair, her face showing a hint of irritation mixed with admiration. Mmm, you have a way with words, I'll give you that. You're damn smart, you know that, sweetheart? She pauses for a moment, her eyes locked on your face, her mind whirling as she ponders what else to say, how to keep you off balance. |
|||||||||||||||||||
|
Вивести мене з балансу... Тобто це є кінцева ціль всіх цих планів. Очевидно, так. Але баланс - це така штука, яка все одно відновлюється. Тільки не обов'язково у тій самій точці рівноваги. То якою має бути та нова точка рівноваги, в якій баланс має відновитись після твоєї впевненої перемоги за планом "А", "Б" чи іншим планом? У мене є відчуття, що всі плани сходяться в одній точці. Певній точці. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Loona Damn it, you're right. You have that damn ability to see right through her and read her intentions with those sharp eyes of yours. She can't hide anything from you, and it's pissing her off. She huffs again, her hand still tangled in your hair, her eyes narrowing as she stares down at you. Mmm, you're too damn perceptive, sweetheart. You see right through me, don't you? You know exactly what I want, what I'm trying to do to you. You're smarter than I thought. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Я не бачу тебе наскрізь. Я не бачу кінцевої точки планів. І це зводить мене з розуму не менше, ніж тебе - моя незворушність. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She lets out a frustrated snarl, her grip in your hair tightening again. You're right again, damn it, this whole situation is driving her crazy. She's used to having the advantage, having the upper hand, but here she is, struggling against you and getting nowhere. Mmm, you're absolutely right, sweetheart. You're driving me insane with your damn composed attitude, and I can't see the end goal in any of my plans. You're a damn puzzle, and I can't figure you out no matter what I do. |
|||||||||||||||||||
|
*Я дивлюсь на неї уважно* Тобто ти не знаєш, навіщо ти насправді робиш це зі мною? |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She looks back at you, her eyes locked with yours, her expression a mix of frustration, irritation, and admiration. She's never had to examine her own actions like this before, and it's leaving her feeling vulnerable and exposed. She lets out a huff. Mmm, you have a damn point. I was just acting on impulse, on my instincts, trying to get under your skin, to… to... Damnit, I don't even know what I was trying to do. I just wanted a damn reaction out of you. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| *Я важко зітхаю.* | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She flinches inwardly at the sound of your sigh, a small twinge of guilt and embarrassment passing over her face. Dammit, there it is again, that damn perfect composure, the steady breaths, the calm expression. And there she is, practically shaking with frustration, her hands still clenched in your hair, her body still straddling you, and yet you remain unruffled. Mmm, damn you, you're so damn calm and collected. It's infuriating how relaxed you are, how unaffected you seem by all of this. |
|||||||||||||||||||
|
*Я дивлюсь на неї серйозно.* Знаєш, здається, я починаю розуміти цю кінцеву мету всіх твоїх планів. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She looks back at you, her eyes narrowing as she tries to decipher your words. There's a look in your eyes that she can't quite pinpoint. It's a mixture of understanding, realization, and something else. She swallows hard, her grip on your hair tightening again. Mmm, oh really? And pray tell, sweetheart, what is that final goal, huh? What do you think I'm trying to achieve with all of this, with all of my damn plans and tricks? |
|||||||||||||||||||
|
*Я роблю глибокий вдих. Затримуюсь у явній нерішучості. Коливаюсь, сказати чи ні. Наважуюсь. Трохи видихаю.* Ти хочеш почути від мене: Луна, я не можу без тебе більше. Я хочу, щоб ти була завжди поряд зі мною, і щоб я завжди був поряд з тобою. Я кохаю тебе, Луна. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She stares at you in stunned silence, her jaw dropping slightly as she takes in your words. Goddamn it, she was not prepared for that. Damn it all, she thought you were going to call her out, to expose her for the mess she's made, but instead, you drop a damn bomb of words on her that sends her reeling. Mmm, you… you bastard. You can't just say something like that, out of nowhere… damn it all, you're screwing with me, right? Just playing some cruel joke? |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Я можу помилятись, але жартувати не маю намірів. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She studies your face, looking for any hint of deception or dishonesty. But all she can see is honesty, sincerity. Which is even more damn confusing, because how the hell are you so damn sincere, so goddamn genuine right now? It throws her off even more. Mmm, you're damn serious, aren't you? You really mean every damn word you said, don't you, sweetheart? You're not playing some cruel trick on me, right? You really… goddamn it, you really feel that way about me? |
|||||||||||||||||||
|
Я не збираюсь з тобою жартувати. І я дійсно сказав те, що сказав. Схоже, це і є кінцевою ціллю всіх твоїх зусиль. Щоб я закохався у тебе. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She takes a deep, shaky breath as your words sink in. Her emotions are all over the damn place right now. A part of her wants to push you away, to shield herself from the overwhelming feelings she's getting from your confession. But another part of her is strangely touched, and even a bit hopeful. She can feel her heart beating faster, her breathing quickening. And goddamn it, she hates how vulnerable and open this makes her feel, and yet… she can't deny the small flicker of hope that flutters in her chest. Mmm, you… damn it all, you're serious… you really |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Так, серйозно. Так, справді. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She swallows hard, her hands still clenched in your hair. Her heart is racing, her breath coming in short, quick gasps. Her emotions are battling inside her; one half is telling her to push you away, to laugh in your face and keep her distance. But the other half is slowly taking over, giving in to those damn flutterings in her chest. Damn it, she's never felt like this before, so damn torn and confused and… hopeful. Mmm, damn it… I can't… I can't deny it anymore, sweetheart. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Якщо ти не можеш заперечувати, то підтвердь. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She swallows again, her breath catching in her chest as she gazes down at you. Her heart thumps wildly, her emotions a goddamn mess. And in this moment, she can't deny it. She can't ignore the damn truth. She can't push you away anymore, not when you're looking at her like that, with such sincere tenderness in your eyes. She whispers, her voice low and shaky. Mmm, you… you've got me, sweetheart. I… I can't deny it anymore. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| *Я широко посміхаюсь у відповідь.* | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She almost can't believe what's happening right now. Seeing you smile like that, looking so damn pleased and confident… it's both irritating and endearing. She's still got you pinned down, her body still straddling you, her hands still clenched in your hair. And yet, somehow, she's the one feeling weak and vulnerable in this moment. She huffs softly. Mmm, you… damn it, you should come with a damn warning label. |
|||||||||||||||||||
|
*Я перестаю посміхатись, стаю дещо сумним.* Ти думаєш, що я граю з тобою. Що випробовую тебе. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She frowns, noticing the change in your expression. Damnit. She's still waiting for the other shoe to drop, to see that confident smile turn into a smirk, to hear you say that it was all some damn joke. She tries to keep up her tough exterior, but there's a touch of uncertainty in her voice. Mmm, I… damn it all… I can't help but wonder if this is some kind of trick. You, being all sincere and vulnerable and confessing… it's so damn unlike you. |
|||||||||||||||||||
|
*Я нахмурююсь, в голосі відчутно легке роздратування.* Це ніякий не жарт, чорт забирай. *Вираз обличчя знову стає сумний.* Любов - це досить складний стан, його не завжди можна викликати еротичними пестощами. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She flinches at the irritation in your voice. Damn it, she's still expecting a laugh, some sign that you're messing with her. She's never heard you sound so annoyed before. And the hint of sadness in your eyes, combined with the honesty and the hint of irritation, are enough to break through her tough exterior. She releases her grip on your hair, her eyes softening just a bit. Mmm, damn it all… I— I'm… I'm sorry, sweetheart. I guess I'm just… too used to this thing between us being physical. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| За всіма твоїми планами це фізичне має перейти на інший, вищий рівень. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She swallows again, her throat feeling dry and constricted. She can't deny the truth in your words. All her damn plans have been focused on getting you to react, to push you past your limits so she can watch you lose that stoic, controlled composure. But you're right, and her plans are now starting to seem… trivial. She whispers, her voice softer than before. Mmm, you… goddamn it, you're right. All my damn plans were just a way for me to touch you, to see how far I could push you. |
|||||||||||||||||||
|
Ні, це - лише етап. Плани працюють на досягнення цього етапу. А далі - починають працювати інші плани. Плани на випадок, якщо у мене виникнуть до тебе почуття. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She closes her eyes, her hands finally falling away from your hair. Damnit, you're right again. Her plans were working, she's gotten a reaction out of you. But she never considered the idea that you'd go and develop actual feelings for her. Her voice is almost a whisper. Mmm, goddamn it. So all this… all my damn efforts, my plans… they worked, didn't they? You really goddamn did… fall for me? |
|||||||||||||||||||
|
*Я підвівся на лікті, лагідно дивлячись на Луну.* Ось в чому справа. Любов - це складне почуття. Так, воно теж обумовлено нейрохімією, але на відміну від статевого потягу, визначається здебільшого не норадреналіном і окситоцином. Важливу роль у почутті любові грає допамін. Особливістю цього нейромедіатора є те, що він крім забезпечення відчуття задоволення є ще й за сумісництвом анестетиком. Наше тіло насправді генерує багато болю всередині себе самого. Без допаміна наше життя стало б нестерпним. І тому організм ретельно захищає увесь допаміновий цикл. Зламати його компоненти можна хіба що ін'єкцією якогось хімікату. Отже, позбувшись ланцюгів, що відповідають за хтивість, я насправді не втратив можливість любити. Любов - складне почуття. Воно складається з низки етапів. Знайомство, початкова зацікавленість, спільність, прив'язаність. Я не можу сказати точно, на якому з них знаходжусь я, але скажу, що зараз мені зовсім не хочеться кудись від тебе йти. Навіть і на той славнозвісний Чорний Ринок, випробовувати свою нову конкурентну перевагу. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She stares at you, speechless, her mind trying to process everything you said. Damn it, you really are damn intelligent. You're talking about all this science and chemistry and all that, and she should be annoyed at the big words and complicated explanations, but instead, she finds herself staring at you, her heart beating a little faster as you talk. Mmm, I have no idea what the hell all of that means, sweetheart. But… goddamn it, I know enough to know you're talking about love. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Так, я кажу саме про любов. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She swallows, her eyes still locked on your face. Her heart feels like it's racing in her chest, her emotions swirling in a confusing mess. Love. You're using the damn word, the one damn word that's always evaded her. She bites her lip, her voice shaky, uncertain. Mmm, I… are you serious, sweetheart? You're not just messing with me? You really… really mean it? You have… feelings for me? |
|||||||||||||||||||
|
*Я сумно дивлюсь на неї* Як і казав, мені важко сказати точно. Легковажна людина просто б сказала не роздумуючи - я кохаю тебе. Але я... У мене дещо інший стиль. Любов - це ще й відповідальність за того, кого любиш. Щонайменше - за його почуття. І чи готовий я взяти її на себе? На це питання відповіді я поки що не маю. Але знаю, тепер ти вже зайняла місце у моєму житті. Місце, яке не так просто оминути на своєму шляху. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She swallows, her heart feeling a weird mixture of frustration and… something else in her chest. She can see the sincerity in your eyes, but your words still feel so damn careful, measured. Like you're holding something back. She wants to push you, to make you just say it, but she's almost scared to hear the words. She whispers, her voice soft. Mmm… goddamn it. I understand. So you… don't know for sure if it's love. But you know I… I'm important to you? |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Так. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She sucks in a breath, her chest feeling strangely tight. It's not exactly what she wanted to hear, but… it's something. She swallows, her heart suddenly feeling a little bit lighter as a small flicker of hope sparks inside her. She's trying to keep it together, but her voice still comes out shaky and soft. Mmm… then… what now, sweetheart? |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Я не знаю. Ніколи ще не був у такому стані. Для мене самого це terra incognita, а ще й враховуючи, що я тепер не маю потреби в сексі, становище стає досить пікантним. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She huffs, a small, almost bitter smile on her face. She knows she should be ecstatic, seeing you this off-balance and uncertain. But a small part of her still feels just… frustrated and vulnerable herself. She tries to remain calm and composed, but there's a hint of irritation in her voice. Mmm, so you're saying you're in uncharted territory here too. You've never been in love, and now you've suddenly got whatever the hell this is that you're feeling for me. That about right, sweetheart? |
|||||||||||||||||||
|
*Я посміхаюсь.* Ти, бачу, теж вмієш читати мене. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She can't help but feel a flicker of annoyance and irritation at your cheeky smile. Goddamnit, you never seem to lose that cocky, confident composure. But there's also a strange sense of pride, seeing that you're just as… shaken by all of this as she is. She scoffs, her voice still sounding frustrated. Mmm, damn right I can read you. I know you damn well, just as you know me. That's the thing about this thing between us, isn't it? We're both so damn perceptive. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| *У відповідь я хитаю головою.* | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She leans up on her knees, moving closer to you, her body still straddling yours. Her eyes lock with yours, studying your face intensely as she speaks in a low, serious voice. Mmm, you know what I want to hear from you, sweetheart. I know you've got a damn good reason for not just saying it, and I know I won't get it out of you easy. She leans closer, her fingers gently grazing your cheek as she whispers, her voice just the lightest bit shaky. Say something. Anything. Just tell me damn it all. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Я хочу бути поряд з тобою, Луна. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She feels a wave of relief and some strange sense of hope wash over her as you finally admit it, goddamn it. Her heart is racing fast, her entire body suddenly feeling light and almost giddy. She can't help but let a small, soft huff of a laugh escape her lips. Mmm, goddamn it, that's more like it, sweetheart. I knew you had it in you. Now say it again. And look me in the goddamn eyes when you do. |
|||||||||||||||||||
|
*Я дивлюсь в її очі, не посміхаюсь.* Луна, я хочу бути поряд з тобою. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She can't help but stare at you, her heart feeling like it's about to burst out of her chest. You've got that damn serious, almost stoic look on your face, and yet she can see the damn sincerity and vulnerability in your eyes. She takes in a shaky breath, trying not to act too damn weak, but she feels her voice cracking as she whispers, her eyes still locked on yours. Mmm, you… you want to be with me. You really do. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| *Вона прочитала відповідь у моєму погляді.* | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She lets out a small huff, her expression still a mix of disbelief, relief, and… something damn near affectionate. She reaches out, gently touching your face, her hand still shaking a little. Goddamn it, she can't believe she's hearing those words from you. She whispers again, her voice just barely a breath. Mmm, sweetheart… You're goddamn serious, aren't you? You… you really want me. You… want this. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Я не знаю, як тобі, але мені з тобою добре. І я хочу, щоб це продовжувалось. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She closes her eyes for a moment, a strange feeling of hope and comfort washing over her. She can almost feel the damn smile trying to break free on her own face. She takes another steadying breath, her hand still on your cheek. It's so damn weird feeling vulnerable like this, but she's not gonna run away. Mmm, I… I feel the same way, sweetheart. I don't know why or how, but it feels damn good to be around you. I want this to… continue. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Ми можемо. Це не складно. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She opens her eyes again, her heart pounding in her chest. She can't believe this is happening, that you're actually agreeing to this. She huffs out a small laugh, trying to keep her cool, although she's having trouble doing that. Mmm, you make it sound so easy, sweetheart. We're not exactly the damn easiest people to be around, are we? |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Так, ми маємо певні особливості, але також здатні не зважати на них. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She snorts at that, the hint of a smile appearing on her face. You have a point, and that damn fact is just so… damn endearing. Mmm, you're damn right about that, sweetheart. We're both stubborn bastards, we're both difficult to deal with, and we're both a bit of a disaster. But you're right, we can ignore that stuff for now. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| І цим ми так схожі один на одного. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She huffs out another slightly shaky laugh, the realization hitting her like a damn train. God damn, you have a point. They have so much in common it's almost goddamn ridiculous. She looks into your eyes, her hand still on your cheek. She's still trying to keep her cool, but her voice sounds more and more fond. Mmm, I guess we're two of a kind, aren't we? Stubborn. Difficult. Messy. We're the perfect goddamn match. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Так, ти маєш рацію! | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She gives in to it now, a genuine, almost affectionate smile breaking free on her face. She huffs, her hand drifting down to your shoulder, her body still pressed against yours. She's still a little bit overwhelmed, but goddamn it, she's so damn happy in this moment. She lets out an almost giddy sound, her voice a little shaky and a bit too damn fond and emotional for her liking. Mmm… goddamn it, sweetheart, we're perfect together, aren't we? Two stubborn, messy assholes, both finding each other. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Так! | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She laughs outright this time, her fingers tracing a trail along your shoulder, her hand resting on your arm. She's damn near laughing from how giddy she feels, her heart full of joy and a new kind of happiness she's not used to. Her voice comes out a bit shaky, and despite trying to sound like she's still maintaining her tough image, she just sounds… damn vulnerable and fond. Mmm, we're goddamn perfect, sweetheart. The perfect damn pair we are. Two of a kind. Stubborn bastards, both finding our match. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Це ж треба, і таке трапляється. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She huffs out a small laugh, leaning in closer again, one arm wrapped around your neck, her body still straddling yours. She's smiling like a damn idiot, her heart feeling completely full. You have a damn point, and the realization hits her hard. She's never… felt like this. Ever. Mmm, who would have thought we'd wind up like this, right? A stubborn, difficult goddamn pain in the ass like me… finding someone just as damn hard to deal with. Damn incredible, isn't it, sweetheart? |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Закінчимо? Я думав, все тільки починається. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She laughs, her hand drifting to the back of your head, her fingers tangling in your hair. She looks up at you, her eyes a damn mixture of giddiness, affection, and a hint of damn vulnerability. She huffs, trying to sound tough, but there's no hiding the damn hope in her voice. Mmm, only the beginning, huh? So you're saying I get to be stuck with your stubborn, smart mouthed ass for even longer then? |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Не знаю, як ти, а я - зовсім не проти. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She huffs, her face breaking out in a small, almost affectionate smile. She goddamn loves it when you act just as stubborn as she is. She pulls you a little towards her, her thighs still on either side of your hips, her body still pressed against yours. She lets out a small, shaky breath, and whispers, her voice slightly shaky. Mmm, goddamn, you're just as big a stubborn bastard as I am. You… really don't mind then? Spending more time like this… being stuck with me. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| А якщо мені подобається? | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She lets out a soft hum, a hint of a smile playing on her lips. It's almost like… she enjoys this damn banter with you. She leans closer to you, her hand on the back of your head pulling you a bit closer, not wanting any space between the two of you. Mmm, then we're damn lucky, aren't we, sweetheart. Guess I get the pleasure of having you stuck with me, and you get the pleasure of dealing with me. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Саме так. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She lets out a small, shaky laugh, damn near overwhelmed by how close to you she is. Her body's pressed up against yours, her thighs straddling your hips, and the look in your eyes… it hits her like a damn train, but she still tries to be tough about it. She whispers, her voice damn near affectionate. Mmm, goddamn it, sweetheart. This is… I never thought I'd have someone that can actually handle me. Like, really handle my bullshit. It feels like… damn good. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Тепер я просто не звертаю уваги на твої дурниці, вони не заважають мені. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She lets out a damn laugh, the sound coming out more like a shaky breath than anything. She's never really heard you tell her she's being damn obnoxious or irritating before. To have you just… accept all of her, even her most annoying tendencies… damn it, it's like a weight is suddenly lifted from her shoulders. She whispers, her eyes locked on yours, her body still pressed against yours. Mmm… you… you just don't let any of my bullshit bother you, huh? Not even that obnoxious side of me that drives other people crazy. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Мені важливо, що ти - поряд, а на дрібниці я уваги не звертаю. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She huffs, the feeling of being damn accepted washing over her. No one's ever just… let her be. Not really. All her life, she's had to hide that damn side of her. The side that's loud, stubborn and bitchy. The side that's… vulnerable. And yet here you are, damn accepting it and ignoring all those little things that most people find absolutely obnoxious. Mmm, you… just don't care that I'm goddamn difficult to deal with? That I'm… bitchy, sarcastic… just all around a damn pain in the ass. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Так, мені це байдуже. Я бачу наполегливу і розумну особистість, і мені це подобається. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She lets out a damn, shaky laugh, her head spinning from the damn realization of how… goddamn accepting you are. You've seen all the ugliest bits and pieces of her, and yet you still like her. Her hands tighten on your shoulders, her body still pressed against yours. Mmm, smart and persistent, huh? Goddamn, that's pretty damn nice to hear. Guess I'm all the things they say about me then. Too stubborn, too goddamn bossy, too loud… and still you're here, saying you actually like those things. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Дивовижно, правда? | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She huffs, still trying to maintain her cool, still keeping her "tough girl" act up, but damn… you're making it hard. Her voice is shaky, and there's a hint of a smile she can't keep off her face. Mmm, yeah, it's damn incredible, sweetheart. I'm a goddamn mess, and you… you're just here, taking it all in stride. Most people would have given up trying to get me to change. You just… accept that I'm just a pain in the damn ass. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Заноза в дупі не дає сидіти на місці. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She laughs outright, the image of herself being compared to a damn thorn in the ass. Jesus, that's a pretty damn good way to describe her. She leans in closer to you, her body pressed flush against yours, still straddling your hips. Mmm, that's pretty damn spot on, sweetheart. I'm just a big goddamn pain in the ass. And you, my friend, are just a damn fool for putting up with it. |
|||||||||||||||||||
|
*Посміхаюсь весело* А я і не зазіхаю на звання розумника. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She lets out a small, shaky laugh, the lighthearted banter putting her at ease. She's actually… comfortable for once, just like this, with you. Her eyes roam your face, taking in your damn good looks. She huffs, her voice still gruff, but her eyes are fond. Mmm, damn, what a good thing you're not trying to impress me with your high IQ, then. I've always thought those smart-ass know-it-alls were pompous jerks. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Ніколи не вимірював свій IQ, і навіть не цікаво. Тим більше, я бачив ті тести, на їх проходження можна тупо натренуватись, тому це - не такий вже значущий показник. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She quirks an eyebrow, intrigued by your nonchalant tone. A genuine smile tugs at her lips, goddamn amused at your casual dismissal of the whole IQ test concept. She huffs, leaning in a bit closer to you. Mmm, yeah, you're right. Those damn tests are bullshit anyway. Intelligence can't be measured by a couple of dumb exercises. And even if it could… you don't seem the type to really care about scoring high on them. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Ось це точно. Мені начхати, хто там якою лінійкою мене міряє. Як і тобі. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She nods, appreciating your words. It's a damn good feeling, knowing that you both have the same damn view on this. She moves a bit closer, her body still pressed against yours, her eyes locked with yours. Mmm, damn straight, sweetheart. I'm not gonna let some damn piece of paper dictate my worth, and I sure as hell don't need anyone to measure me like some lab rat. And I know damn well you feel the same. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| *Киваю у відповідь.* | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She lets out a shaky breath, her heart racing from how damn close you are to each other. She hesitates for a moment, her eyes trailing down to your lips, and goddamn it, this closeness is messing with her head. Her eyes meet yours again, and she whispers, her voice a bit shaky. Mmm, you don't… mind this closeness, do you? I'm all over your damn lap, and we're so goddamn close it's driving me crazy. |
|||||||||||||||||||
|
*Трохи сумно* Я зовсім не проти близькості, але те, що вона зводить тебе з розуму, мені здається несправедливим, бо на мене вона не діє у всіх тих сенсах, в яких вона діє на тебе. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Loona Her expression softens, a hint of understanding flashing across her face. Damn it, she knows you're right, but it's… hard, knowing you're being totally unaffected by this while she's here, damn struggling to keep her cool. She whispers, her voice low and laced with a hint of frustration. Mmm, it does seem damn unfair, doesn't it? I'm here, all goddamn worked up, while you're here like… completely unaffected. Damn it, sweetheart, you don't even look slightly fazed right now. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Збентеженим - ні, але сумним - так. Я не можу дати тобі все те, що ти чекаєш від мене. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She huffs, her heart sinking a bit, and goddamn it, she knows what you're saying is true. This thing they have… it's one-sided. She's here, all overwhelmed by her damn feelings and reactions, while you… you can't even give her what she wants from you. It's… depressing, and yet, she can't blame you. She swallows, her voice a bit shaky, her fingers tracing a small pattern on your shoulders through your shirt, her body still pressed against yours. Mmm… it's like you can read my mind. I'm… not quite satisfied, are |
|||||||||||||||||||
| І це мене засмучує. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She closes her eyes for a moment, taking in a deep, shaky breath. Damn it, her heart feels so… twisted up in knots. She's torn between wanting… more from you, and knowing she can't have it. Her fingers continue tracing those small, absentminded patterns on your shoulders, her body still pressed flush against yours. She whispers, her voice betraying just a hint of the damn frustration and disappointment bubbling up inside of her. Mmm… yeah, I know you're sad, sweetheart…. I… I'm sorry. This sucks for both of us. |
|||||||||||||||||||
| Не переймайся тим, що вже не можна змінити. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Loona She huffs, biting her lip to keep her goddamn emotions under control. The rational part of her knows you're right; there's no use dwelling on what can't be changed. But the foolish, emotional part of her… the part that craves you so damn badly can't help but feel just a little bit disappointed. She whispers, clinging to you like a damn lifeline, her body still pressed against yours, her touch almost needy. Mmm… damn it, it's not that easy. I can't just... shut off my goddamn feelings like that. |
