what did we JUST SAY about the lack of room in the rear?
Oh, dear. What a straight line setup.
I'd rather stay home and watch television. It's often funnier than killing stuff.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The reason Glory holes are not comparable is that both penetrator and Pentratee can move away at any time. The situation would be different if someone was chained to a glory hole.

I know this is a simplistic argument, but I'd be curious to see the reactions when Echo is sold to someone nearly three times her age and not remotely attractive for a weekend of hot sex and bondage games. So far Motorcycle Racing Client and Most Dangerous Game Guy were young and attractive. Perhaps for some people (not to imply any of you fine discerning people) the mental image of two fit young people gettin' it on is more acceptable than the scenario I suggest. Something like Echo and an obviously undesirable client would make the rape accusations more clear and would lead more people to think that what's being done to her is Not a Good (or Arousing) Thing. (Of course, that presupposes that the writers actually WANT to head in that direction, rather than the 'oh cool, hot women available at any time' situation.)

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

You would think this is the average customer, wouldn't you?

Bill Gates wants to get it on.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
And Steph, you don't have to be the one to answer it, either.
For the record, I don't feel attacked. I tend to enjoy conversations like this, even though I know I'm a hardass on things like rape and consent.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
According to Joss the charge to hire Echo is low 7 figures. Or high 6 figures, I can't remember which one it was.

I want to know more about how they get the imprints? How do you xerox somebody's existence?

Do you think the people whose imprints they use get paid?

It would be the ultimate "sell a body part for money" thing.
