video | dating show attempt #1: naked attraction

[lyingheart]

[ The video opens from an angle, filming what looks like a film crew and a man wearing a very large cravat talking with Annie. Both faces can be seen from the side. ]

So get this, [ he says, lifting his hands. ] you start out by seeing everyone's bare feet—

[ Annie stares at him, unblinking. The man's smile fixes in place, and he continues on. ]

Then you see their bare legs—

[ Annie continues staring without blinking. Determined, the man goes on. ]

Then you see bare everything from the legs up, and then their faces—

[ Annie stares, her eyes narrowing. ]

Before at last you step out, naked, and—

[ She holds up a hand, cutting him off. ]

When they said this was going to be a dating show, I didn't realise they really meant pornography. A young woman like me might take offense.

[ The man waves his hands, shaking his head. ]

No, no, no! It's not pornography, it's art! There's no touching invol—

[ His voice is cut off as Annie moves forward, her quick throw of the man landing him on his back on the ground with Annie placing one knee on the middle of his chest. His arms are held overhead. He's breathless, wheezing a little, eyes wide from what whites can be seen by the camera, which floats closer. ]

To hell with art. Contact me when you have a real proposal.

[ She pushes up to her feet, dusting herself off with a look of irritation still on her face. Her eyes flit to the camera, then to the one holding it. ]

Turn it off, Fritz. Now.

I've done a few. The one I'm runnin' now is called 'Gambit'. Four-person team against another four-person team. They collect items [which he is in dire need of, 'Motes of Dark'] and put 'em in a bank. You can only carry fifteen of 'em. Now, fill up your bank enough? You can send somebody over to other side an' give 'em hell.

That's my usual preference in games. Ones that are fair, at the start, but they don't necessarily stay fair if you can't stick with it. You can't depend on one highly skilled person to wreck it. Y'all gotta throw your weight in.

So I just gotta adjust my thinkin' from person team to person an' choice pokemon team. Simple as that.

Mm, thinking like that, you could get the interest of people like chest ruffles.

[ The director with the terrible naked dating pitch. ]

Competitions and contests rather than challenges, like what you see at the gyms here. Might not be that kind of high stakes money situation, but you decide what makes it interesting.

[be_notorious]

Maybe I could.

Could I hire you to throw him again if he rubs me the wrong way? I think it'd be more effective if you do it. Some men deserve the extra little kick to their pride.

[lyingheart]

Would be a first.

[ Being hired as the muscle. She appreciates the logic, as well as the element of throwing off everyone else's expectations. Even the man she'd thrown today is fifty percent likely to presume maybe, maybe, it was because he was caught off guard. ]

Yeah. Call me.
