Scratch:Oh, yeah?

Winc:Oh shit. You see that garble?

Scratch:Anyway, I fixed him up, though, threatened to go public, he’s never bothered me since.

Winc:::laughing, shaking my head:: That is so cool! So who are you? I want to know.

FoolsGold:I’d guess that you are a bit younger, early 20s (a wild stab).

Winc:::leaning forward, kissing you gently on the cheek:: You’re really sweet… but I’ve made a solemn vow not to talk gender or age online. ::grin:: Makes life interesting! ::brushing my lips with my fingertips from where your beard tickled::

Scratch:I’m a me. What the fuck is it to you? Who are you?

Winc:Me? ::straining brain to come up with best description::

Scratch:Wait! Don’t tell me.

Winc:Huh?

Scratch:I don’t wanna know. It doesn’t matter. But I know you’re a guy.

Winc:::laughing:: Oh do ya, now.

Scratch:::shy:: well, yeah… We could be anything.

Winc:::reaching down between my legs, stroking my cunt:: Yes, we could. ::impish grin::
