Arrival of Grosky the Man

[groskymanlyman]

A prone figure lies in a large yet manly heap in the atrium of the dressing room. Slowly they come round and stand up. It is none other than Inspector Clamp Grosky, manliest of men. He runs a hand through his fluffly yet masculine crop of chest hair.

"Hmmm."

He tries the door, but it refuses to open. With manly determination he tugs feebly at the

Oh jesus I might as well.

[Maria's emerged from the snow room for once, just in time to find Grosky in the lobby. Which she will undoubtedly regret. Blinking a bit, she steps over to peer down at him.]

...what are you doing?

This place is growing on me!

[groskymanlyman]

[Grosky is keeping fit, doing manly push-ups on the atrium floor.He hears a voice and looks up. Has Grosky died and gone to Heaven?? Another beautiful(ish) stranger, ripe and ready for a slice of the manly Grosky-love pie.]

My word! This interdimenthingy is certainly starting to look a lot more fun!

[Grosky, being a manly man, knows exactly what to do in these situations. He immediately tears off his shirt and reveals his sculpted masculine forms to the delicate flowers in front of him.]

[icefreckled]

...is there a reason that you're stripping in the lobby?

[She's starting to remember why she avoids everyone. :|]

[groskymanlyman]

I uh... I was feeling very hot! From all the manly things I have been doing! Yes, hot and sweaty.

[He runs a hand through his manly chest hair, now so proudly on display. She must be liking this, what woman could resist this much man?]

So, what brings a pretty little thing like you round these parts eh?

[icefreckled]

...'little'?

[Considering that Maria's around six foot, she doesn't get called 'little' very often.]

...and nothing, really. I was on my way back from the snow room.

[groskymanlyman]

[Grosky's sheer manliness creates an effect whereupon those around him smaller and less manly in comparison at all times, regardless of their actual physical attributes.]

The snow room? That sounds terribly cold for you to be sat there all on your own. Perhaps I could join you, keep you warm?

[He flicks his manly quiff seductively.]

[icefreckled]

[Wow okay Grosky, Maria is now slightly more skeeved out by you than Monocle. The guy who she caught molesting a Clive.]

...no thanks. I prefer the cold.

[groskymanlyman]

[Grosky isn't the best at taking a hint clearly.]

Well, I certainly wouldn't say no to "chilling" with you! Why not show me the way? You never know, you might even enjoy it.

[He winks.]

[icefreckled]

...firstly, no. Secondly, I'm married.

[Not wearing her ring or using her married name is no reason that she can't use that defence.]

[groskymanlyman]

I won't say anything if you don't! Or perhaps he would like to join in? There's enough of this man pie to go round!

[He winks again.]

[icefreckled]

Would you like the long answer to that, or the short answer?

[groskymanlyman]

Oh, I'd like to spend as much time with you as I can.

[icefreckled]

The long answer, then? The long answer is no, you creep.

[groskymanlyman]

I love it when a woman plays hard to get!

[This is getting ridiculous. He needs to shut his mouth before its too late. He's winking again.]

[icefreckled]

[Maria lifts her foot slightly.]

Leave me alone.

[groskymanlyman]

[Grosky takes a step closer.]

But dear lady, there are so many things I could show you!

[Still winking. Starting to look a little painful now.]
