Ophelia Tennant - Slings & Arrows - Futureverse - The Belkovski Exercise

[mm_danii]

She'd gotten permission from the barman to do this, which is why no one was bothering her as she set up the little containers of Day-Glo paint wearing nothing but a bathrobe. It was late at night, so most of the bar was either asleep or gone... and that made it the perfect time to do something she thought might be a lot of fun. Considering Rich

"Now, the body paint I get ... but the bathrobe has me a little puzzled, love."

Richard smirks and slips his arms around her waist, fiddling with the tie of the robe.

[mm_danii]

She pats his hand on the tie and leans up to press a kiss to his cheek.

"You'll see... if you want to get into one of the bathrobes and join me."

[mm_lettie]

"And the bathrobe...it's really that necessary?"

He leans in and kisses her nose in return before picking one up to change behind the bath screen.

[mm_danii]

She nods to him, even though he's behind the screen.

"Pretty important, yeah. As are a few more people. I have to see how many people get interested."

[mm_lettie]

There is a very green young woman peering at the containers of Day-Glo paint. They look interesting, to say the least.

After a few long moments of considering, she gives the woman's shoulder a light tap.

"Miss? Would you mind ... explaining this to me?" She waves to the entire setup.

[mm_danii]

She grins and leans on one of the pillars nearby.

"Well, it's pretty simple. It's this acting exercise I learned a year ago from Uncle Darren in a NOT creepy way, okay, thanks. Pretty much, everyone goes behind the screen, takes off all their clothes, and puts on a bathrobe. They smear the paint on their hands, let the paint charge in the light, start the music, and then I turn off the lights. Everyone drops their robes and gets a good clean grope for a bit and then we turn off the music to give everyone time to get back to their robes before turning the lights back on."

She smiles.

"It's... liberating. And a lot of fun. I'm in the mood for it, so I figured I'd offer the folks here a chance."

[mm_lettie]

There's a high point of pine on her cheeks the moment dropping their robes is mentioned, but it does sound ... interesting, to say the least. She purses her lips, considering this.

"It does sound ... liberating." Not that she's ever done anything like this before, but new experiences sometimes brought good things. Worth a try, right?

[mm_danii]

She points to the white bathrobes.

"It's fun. And you're welcome to join."

[mm_ygrane]

"Count me in on the fun, beautiful. Wouldn't miss out on an activity that includes glowing paint, bathrobes, and Rich."

[mm_danii]

She grins.

"Pick up a bathrobe, go behind the screen, come back in nothing but the bathrobe and I'll explain."

[mm_ygrane]

"Brilliant. Back in a mo'."

He darts behind the screen and returns a moment later.

[mm_danii]

"Well, it's pretty simple. It's this acting exercise. Pretty much, everyone goes behind the screen, takes off all their clothes, and puts on a bathrobe. When they're all ready, they smear the paint on their hands, let the paint charge in the light, I start the music, and then I turn off the lights. Everyone drops their robes and gets a good clean grope for a bit before we turn off the music to give everyone time to get back to their robes. Then we turn the lights back on."

[mm_ygrane]

Josh quirks his head in curiosity and ambles over.

"What's all this, then?"

[mm_danii]

She grins at him and points to the paints.

[mm_ygrane]

"Ooo! Count me in! Where's my bathrobe? If there's not enough I can go without."

He's bouncing and grinning already.

[mm_danii]

She rolls her eyes.

"Uh, nope. Need a bathrobe. Part of the whole thing."

She nudges his shoulder.

"And the bathrobes are right over there, showoff."

[mm_lucyjane]

"Is this an experiment in painting or an experiment in self-consciousness?" asks Keiran, watching these maneuvers with amusement.

[mm_danii]

She grins at Kay.

"It's an exercise in sensuality and lack of self-consciousness."

[mm_lucyjane]

"Any excuse to be naked," Keiran says and whips off his shirt.

[mm_danii]

She throws a bathrobe at him.

"Behind the screen, bucky, and keep that on till the lights go out."
