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.

[ She gives him a solemn thumbs up. ]

Got it. Can't underestimate that effectiveness.

[fuelthefire]

Fair's fair in love and porn!

[Krieg, what does that...even mean...]

Where're you at, Honeyshine?

[He's mostly just curious, but hey, knowing where the weird porno guy lives can only be a boon the next time he's feeling up for a little friendly arson...]

[lyingheart]

I... have never heard that, but sure.

[ She tells him, and it's somewhere in Kanto her player is too lazy to BS right now. Live your arsonist dreams, Krieg! ]

I was talking with Maya, thinking about meeting up with you two if you head for Mount Moon.

[fuelthefire]

[He will probably (definitely) forget by the time he makes it there, but it's the thought that counts!]

Yeah! Let's do it! Firefly asked me to help her squish the bug gym in the flower shrub town so that's where we are now, but we're going back soon!

[Why is "flower shrub" easier to say and/or remember than "Azalea?" Who even knows.]

[lyingheart]

[ Who knows indeed, but it's a true fact, truly spoken...! ]

Have her call me when you do.

[ She pauses. ]

Have you done the zip line activity there before?

[fuelthefire]

....Who, Firefly?

[Does Annie know Newt...?]

Nah, I never spent very long here before.

[lyingheart]

[ She does, but honestly, doesn't know who the heck he's talking about, so. ]

Maya.

[ She says instead, because ??? sure. ]

It van be entertaining for an hour or so if you both have time to waste. The long line is half a rush.

[fuelthefire]

[Look, they were talking about two different people and he wasn't clear, gosh :c]

I'll tell her! We'll have time to waste after Firefly burns down the gym!

[Wait, weren't those two unrelated ideas---nevermind.]

[lyingheart]

Which one is Firefly?

[ Tracking Krieg's nicknames requires knowing who the people were originally! Though yes, take Firefly zip lining too, it's something they might enjoy, whoever they are. ]

[fuelthefire]

Nnnnnn...[Come on, Krieg, it's the one friend who came with a built-in nickname who you then proceeded to double nickname!]...nnnnNewt!

[Good job, champ.]

[lyingheart]

Ah, yes, I know her. She should enjoy the whole zipline thing too... nothing eggy there.

[fuelthefire]

[That is an excellent suggestion and he is glad Annie just made it.]

Yeah! I'll ask her if she wants to!

[If she doesn't want to, they can do something more tame, like get ice cream.]

[lyingheart]

Mm, enjoy yourselves either way.
