012 // video/action for Violet

[futariniousama]

[ Hello, Johto! Here is a purple blob attached to the screen for your viewing pleasure. It smiles (highly questionably), then slides off the lens, revealing -

bright red peep-toe stilettos and long (long) shapely legs, coming together beneath a not-so-modest denim miniskirt. The 'Gear slides closer, bit by bit, until all you can see are those

[video] Could not resist

[gochuugoku]

[This is the only thing going through this guy's mind. It's not an amused expression, more like "wtf." He doesn't even know that this is guy he's looking at.]

...What?

[Where was his firewall when he needed it?]

[futariniousama]

[ The blue screen returns with a vengeance - and a message: ]

418 I'M A TEAPOT

[gochuugoku]

I don't get it, aru. What's that supposed to mean?

408 REQUEST TIMEOUT

video. / action.

[reimprovise]

[it takes him a moment to realize just what he is seeing, even -- it helps that the signature ending to the feed is fairly recognizable. but when he does, he hums, thoughtful, and reaches for his hair extensions.

Violet is not a large enough town, he figures. it's a gamble, but it might be fun.

an hour later, he finds himself looking bookishly feminine on the patio of a cafe, sipping lemon tea accented with pepper flakes, pulling at his white knee-high socks that end in modest beige flats. the pastel sweater vest was a bit of a gamble, but since he wasn't too practiced at putting in the foam breasts himself, he had forgone those entirely. in his hands is a copy of The Girl with the Dragonite Tattoo, library-bound, but he seems far more interested in picking at the sleeves of his white dress shirt and overlooking the street with an expression of amusement on his face.

he's never been known to pass up a chance for a fun experiment.]

action!

[futariniousama]

[ Niou catches sight of the girl in passing, and when he double-takes, it's not because he recognizes her - he doesn't, right away. It's because she totally looks like his type, and damnit, he is not the right gender for this right now.

Not that he's going to let that stop him.

He slips into the cafe for some coffee, and returns to settle at the table beside the mystery girl's. He sips his coffee and watches the passersby with a flirtatious smile, one shoe dangling tantalizingly from his toes. ]

action!

[reimprovise]

[a lapse in his attention and a sip of his tea ends with him not quite realizing Niou's approach until Niou is already walking out of the cafe with his coffee, claiming that table adjacent to his. turning slightly so that he gauges the other 'boy' out of the corner of his eyes. he's amused by the lack of attention the other is paying him as he's watching the pedestrians pass by, and after a moment, figures that Niou must be wanting to keep up the act.

fun. and he'd hate to be called a bad sport.

therefore, he turns his attention back to his tea, schooling his look of faint amusement into something that's a little more mild for the occasion -- while he may not be as accomplished of an actor/ess as Niou is, he's sure that he can pull off something relatively innocuous. fitting for his role, he cracks open his book to the bookmarked page, and begins scanning the text idly. and slowly, he crosses his legs, concentrating on the foreign feeling of fine quality skirt lining shift over his thighs.

like a charade.]

action!

[futariniousama]

[ Fuji isn't ignored much longer. After a few minutes of silence pass, Niou lets his gaze roam the café, eventually settling on the book Fuji's reading. He could inquire, but then they'd end up talking about the book, he's sure. That's not quite close enough to his goal.

Instead, with a bright smile as he leans over the table - ]

Hey, where did you get those shoes?

[video --> action] so it turns out I am terrible after all

[sfaccendato]

[Oshitari is sprawled on a bench in the center of Violet, idly scrolling through the posts on his Gear when he spots this one -- why hello lady with the pretty legs, you are relevant to his interests. though he's not quite sure what the Ditto was doing there, but the text at the end is an amusing touch--

and then he looks up, and there seems to be another rather attractive woman passing by the bench. who seems to have the same shoes, in fact. and the same quite nice legs. hmmmmmm.]

[action] I am so glad ♥

[futariniousama]

[ Niou hasn't been calling out to the boys - if he deliberately drew attention, he'd be swamped. So when he catches Yuushi looking at him, all he does is slow down a little, giving the other boy a chance to admire.

Dear god, Niou is just having all the luck. ]

[action] this is going to be a trainwreck

[sfaccendato]

[and admire he shall! though only for a few moments before he calls out--] Hello there.

[action] a glorious trainwreck

[futariniousama]

[ The look he gives Yuushi over his shoulder is that of a girl who is not only accustomed to being looked at, but one who was well aware that someone was looking at her before they said anything. ]

Hey there.

[ The voice is all but unrecognizable; a husky alto with sharp, clear pronunciation and a little bit of a purr. ]

[dead_black_eyes]

[L's a bit of a freak, but he can appreciate a pleasing human form. So have a somewhat creepy-looking young man unabashedly staring at the long-legged lady.]

[Action]

[futariniousama]

[ Niou's settling onto a bench when he spots L, and the thought that flashes through his mind is 'holy shit, please don't let this one talk to me.' He doesn't leave, though - he'll let him look. He crosses his legs delicately once he's seated, and pulls out his 'Gear to fiddle with it. ]

[Action]

[dead_black_eyes]

[Unfortunately, even though L's just not the type to flirt, Niou might have some trouble getting rid of the guy. He generally sees anything short of a protestation as an invitation to go right on ahead.]

I haven't seen you around before. Which is strange because those heels probably increase your potential viewing radius significantly. Same principle as a lighthouse, really. The tallest lighthouse I know of is called Jeddah Light; it's in Saudi Arabia and it's 436 feet tall, which is roughly 72.6 times taller than you are.

[Action]

[futariniousama]

[ Despite his best efforts and his usual innate talent for the pokerface, Niou's mouth drops slightly open right around the word 'lighthouse.'

He's seen some pretty atrocious passes and pick-up lines already today, but a lighthouse? ]

... I'm sorry, did you just compare me to a lighthouse?

[action]

[loseyoursenses]

[Hey there, Niou. It's your captain, returning from perusing the flower stands of Violet City, and even he can't completely fail to notice such a striking specimen of femininity.]

[And since it is Yukimura, it doesn't take him that long at all. Maybe if it were over the Gear, but in person? Luckily he has no interest in ruining Niou's games.]

Lovely shoes, but be careful in them. You wouldn't want to break an ankle.

[action]

[futariniousama]

[ Niou did, for a few seconds, entertain the thought of tricking Yukimura when he saw the other boy looking at him - but his hopes are quickly dashed.

He glances Yukimura's way with a practised pout, much more effective with glossy lips. ]

So little faith, Yukimura-kun.

[action]

[loseyoursenses]

[He can't deny that Niou makes a very pretty girl, and Yukimura hasn't seen him quite like this before - but the way he moves and holds himself was a huge clue, even if it would only be a clue for Yukimura or someone else who knew Niou very well.]

You do seem rather skilled. Have you practiced?

[action]

[futariniousama]

Balance is balance. It's actually easier with the heels to support me.

[ A sideways answer, not quite a clear one, but Yukimura could get a better one if he pressed. ]
