Jacqui and Dani.  But what to make of the title?  Oh, wait--doesn't Jacqui owe Dani for that phone call she made to Derek on the Night of the Watch?  Is this it?  Finally?  Yum. ;D ;D ;D

My think was the dance Pole

"If you go out with Derek, I'll buy you the materials for a pole you can construct yourself?"  Um, I think not.  The only thing I can think of that would flip Dani that quickly from "No way in hell!  Never!" to "So, um...Derek...can I come over..." in less than 15 seconds would be the offer of sex from Jacqui.  That's the list.

In the absence of anything better, I've always assumed the offer related to the pole and them dancing together at Sawyer's. I've always thought it would be remarkably presumptuous to say "Do this for us and I'll have sex with you." And that's especially true given that Jacqui apparently doesn't have much experience with women. We don't really know enough about their prior history to know what's most likely.

This could be something else though. If Jacqui isn't looking at the pendant then she looks like she's talking about something serious.

Why can't it be both?

"You know, Dani, you don't use this thing on me often enough." :-D

I...some of the conversations from Night of the Watch seemed to contradict Jacqui's confession during Harem Night, but it's quite possible that her justified confidence, and the atmosphere created by the Watch would lead her to make seemingly rash statements.  I don't think paying for the accessory or agreeing to feature at Sawyer's with Dani would be enough of an inducement for awake Dani who had no memory of her session or the goings on at the SJI that she initiated.

I quite like that shopping list :-)

And all the harem girls together again...

Poor Raven.  Left out again!

Oh, hey.  Maybe I was right!  And Erin joining in?  Does she know that Jacqui is as orally gifted with women as she is with men?  Or have Amy and Laura been keeping that to themselves? ;) ;D

Well if the gloves are going on Jacqui's tongue then that might explain how come she's so good at it.

Maybe she's just got an old motorbike and she's going to let Dani strip it down. Yeah, that seems most likely.

TBH, a pinup of Jacqui and Dani in a mechanic's garage would be amazing, jokes aside.

I think I've mentioned it in another thread, but there's just something about women who know their way around machines...

I'm surrounded by perverts.

A pinup of the two of them would be amazing, would you really need a setting?

Some of the gearhead thing, I can understand.  Part of Kayleigh's appeal on Firefly was the combination of her ball-of-sunshine personality and her affinity with Serenity.

On the slightly more unsettling side, apparently even animated female gearheads have quite the following.  Witness Gadeget Hackwrench.

Told you.

That is rather the design goal here.

Yeah, that cult that worships Gadget is kind of creepy.

Drunken analyses by my friends have determined that a woman who becomes a gearhead increases her odds in the dating game by *at least* 20%. At least. We're not talking about women who are into cars simply because they're expensive, but rather women who enjoy them for their own sake.

A female friend of mine is very into motorcycles, and before she got her first one at nineteen her mother told her that she would be hurting her chances with the boys. It took her a while to realize, but eventually she discovered that her mother was very, very wrong.

Speaking as a female pilot, I completely agree with this analysis.

So, does this mean someone like Sway from Gone In 60 Seconds would have to actually beat guys off with a club or baseball bat if she hadn't defensively dyed her hair blonde?  I think, as with anything, it varies from person to person and is a matter of degrees.  If you had a pretty girl who knew just enough about cars to be a conversant car snob so that she judged guys by what car they drove (quality not price) it wouldn't be as charming as a character like Kayleigh.

And that's usually the point in the conversation where I wake up screaming. If I'm lucky.

A woman with a car holds a certain appeal for me - but only because I never learnt to drive. Cars, bikes, whatever, leave me totally cold - maybe that's why the thought of women fiddling with them does too. I think I'd rather have that splash page of Caitlyn pretending to be a kangaroo that we were virtually promised.

Mantis wave, not a furry fantasy or role play.  Yet. ;)

Shhh. I think they've fallen for it. It's going to happen...

Incidentally, one year ago tomorrow Cherry and Erin were sitting on the sofa and Erin was feeling bad, in spite of all the joy she was bringing to the world in that dress. And as far as I can make out, that was last night in the story.
