A part of Liv would miss happy-go-lucky brain, but ever since the boat, she preferred to take life as it was, rather than how she'd like it to be. Otherwise, she would've taken a Scientology pamphlet a long time ago.
New brain was a case of autoerotic asphyxiation, and in a woman no less. Liv almost felt proud. Took dedication for a girl to be that into masturbation. Fifteen minutes and counting on new brain, and she didn't feel like choking herself. Well, no more than usual.
Quiet evening at home. Let Ravi worry about rats and Utopium. She was going to enjoy a little literature.
Five minutes later, Liv tossed her Kindle aside.
Fifty Shades of Grey?
Whose bright idea had that been? Clearly, coffee brain had been way too over-caffeinated. The only thing that author knew less about than sex was bondage. A litany of inaccuracies suddenly occurred to her, like when she'd watched The Day After Tomorrow on physicist brain. And suddenly, a wholly unnerving possibility occurred to her.
Googling new brain's name brought it all into focus. Rosita Maverick (no, really), was also Mistress Darkh, who demonstrated the pain she could inflict on men by first going after the English language, apparently. Looking at the offered images of Darkh's dungeon (or dhungeon, rather), Liv suddenly had a vision of...
Well, she'd been angry at Major plenty of times, but she'd
never
wanted to do that to his penis. She didn't even have one, and hadn't had a brain attached to one in a month, and she still crossed her legs.
Okay, I'm definitely a dominatrix,
Liv thought.
No big deal. Not gonna make a difference in my life unless I need to tie any knots. It's not like a dominatrix is some kind of nymphomaniac. It's just her job. I'll be fine.
Then Liv noticed that she was adjusting her bracelet. Tightening it.
It felt good tight.

As it turned out, dominatrix brain was a fiend when it came to plants. Liv found herself going around her apartment, watering all the plants she'd bought to assuage pothead brain, then neglected while on Republican brain. She played them music, did minor surgery on one, and found herself complimenting another's leaves.
On second thought, maybe she should've stuck with beating information out of someone's penis. But, all in all, this brain wasn't giving her that many problems. At least it didn't give her an Zimbabwean accent. She'd had to pretend she had a cold around Clive for
days
.
But of course, it would end up that she wasn't on nun brain or something when she found out what Gilda'd been doing with Major.
***
She should've just punched Gilda in the face and told her to get the fuck out. But that would've been too quick. Not very satisfying. And she deserved satisfaction, satisfaction in return for all the satisfaction Gilda Rita Whothefuckcares had gotten from Major. Even if Liv couldn't be with him, that didn't mean Gilda was welcome to get her germs on him, drive Liv crazy with paranoia, and get orgasms from the whole arrangement!
Well, if she wanted orgasms, Liv would fucking give them to her.
She waited for night to fall. Gilda was a horny bitch, and Liv had walked in on her enough times to know that she ended every day with a hand of poker. Liv waited outside her door in the darkened apartment until she heard a moan, and dominatrix brain was like a bloodhound with that shit. She could tell Gilda was feeling
thrills
in her pussy, stroking her wet little cunt, the bitch. Liv wondered if she shaved or was a firecrotch. Either way, one of those hellishly manicured fingers had stole up inside it, and judging by the increasing moans, it was sliding in and out. Liv could tell Gilda really wanted it now, could taste it.
With her dead to the world, or at least the portion of it not between her legs, Liv eased the door open and slipped inside. She didn't recognize any of the furnishings inside, so she guessed Major was the only thing Gilda had stolen. Well, that and her peace of mind, her future goodwill towards redheads, and all enjoyment of that story she'd written on fanfiction brain about Uhura sleeping with both Kirk and Spock with neither of them knowing about the other. Hot on the Enterprise, not in real life.

Safely ensconced in her sheets, Gilda was actually thinking about Liv at the moment. However, if Liv knew, she would hardly be flattered. Gilda was thinking of sucking Major off while Liv was there, maybe inside Max Rager's zombie lab, watching while Gilda deprived her of brain in all kinds of ways.
It was a pretty sick fantasy, she'd admit, but having Vaughn Du Clark as her daddy, she was pretty sure she'd been screwed from birth. Might as well embrace the Chaotic Evil.
Then she felt her blankets move, something soft and feminine joining her in the warmth of her comforter. A gentle hand reached down and took hold of her wrist, Gilda more amused than anything else as her wet fingers were pulled away from her cunt.
"That," Liv said, "seems like it should be getting old by now."
"Want me to put on my chastity belt?" Gilda shot back, smirking.
"Oh, definitely not," Liv said, and was gratified to see Gilda's jaw fall slightly as her fingers started playing with Gilda's arousal. "But I do myself with the massaging showerhead,
