Sorry, I know it’s been a while and it’s late, but I’m acutely in need of hotel recommendations in Luxembourg City.

- Elio

[nowheretowns]

okay. where are you, exactly?

[solosection]

Corner of Bisserweg and Rue Munster. Outside a hotel called Grand Hotel which honestly isn’t as grand as the name suggests.

[nowheretowns]

the one on top of thill's? no, that one's mostly for bar guests too drunk to make it home.

anyway, you can stay at my place. won't find better alternatives in grund at this hour.

[solosection]

I won’t even pretend to be humble about this. It’s almost midnight and I have a recital tomorrow evening. I would be so extremely grateful to stay at your place.

[nowheretowns]

oh. well, that's fine.

stay where you are.

[solosection]

Do you live nearby? I’ve only brought a trolley and a suit. If you gave me an address, I could probably find it myself.

[nowheretowns]

grund is not the right place for you to get lost in at night.

ten minutes, elio. patience.

[solosection]

I spent all my patience practicing octaves this morning. I’m out of patience.

[nowheretowns]

... what the hell are those?

[solosection]

I’m not going to get too technical, because two drunk men are looking at me strangely from the door, but it’s a musical interval. The interval between one pitch and another. It spans eight white keys on the piano, hence the name.

And my apologies, Jean Louis, I just remembered that you support privatizing culture, you’ll have to pay extra for tuition.

[nowheretowns]

i promise i can afford whatever little fee you impose upon me. particularly if you'll let me pay with my body.

well, there's cash too, obviously, but cash isn't that exciting.

[solosection]

Cash might not be as exciting, but maybe cheaper in the long run.

[nowheretowns]

how so?

two minutes.

[solosection]

Because cash only erodes your bank account, you can take loans, win the lottery, paying with yourself erodes your soul and once you’ve used yourself up, that’s it, nothing left, all options exhausted.

[nowheretowns]

i can certainly see you, using yourself up that way. forgetting all about the many ways you can re-fuel and re-group. it's the same with all types of currency, elio; you can't use without risk of depletion.

the body isn't any different from the rest.

[solosection]

You must be a really good public speaker.

[nowheretowns]

i'm not.

just around the corner. talk soon.

[solosection]

I’m so turned on right now.

[nowheretowns]

okay. so?

[solosection]

So I have the choice between going clubbing or jerking off and since we haven’t set boundaries, I wanted to hear your opinion on it.

[nowheretowns]

my opinion? i haven't really thought about it - but now i'm thinking about you, jerking off which is fucking impractical.

i like the thought of you doing that, though. touching yourself. i don't like the other scenario.

[solosection]

I don’t like the other scenario either, to be honest. But I wasn’t sure... You’re not sleeping with anyone else?

[nowheretowns]

no. i'm quite monogamous.

[solosection]

That makes me really happy. Now, excuse me while I go touch myself.

[nowheretowns]

again, that's...

i'll be going out for a really boring meeting now with that mental image. a potential all-nighter. makes me a little resentful, if you're curious.

[solosection]

You can stand it, caro.

[nowheretowns]
