18th: The Canvas of Haruhi Suzumiya

[godbent]

[Action]

[This pot takes place mostly in (the lobby, lounge room, pub maybe) or around the LucetiLand hotel.

So... the draft began on the 25th. It's been nerve wrecking for all parties, Haruhi included, so she opted to commit to an agreement her and Winry made before the summer and she was recently reminded of - body painting her girlfriend. She was also allowed to put her on display. She's been working on that for some time now, the better part of this week in particular to re-practice.

And today is the day she showcases! But in a smaller area. Not the town proper, not the park probably, just inside and just outside the hotel. Haruhi's smartly dressed and smiling broadly, Winry has on her own pants and such, but in place of a shirt is something you might imagine to be a little like this (slightly nsfw?), albeit with a shirt Winry would actually wear. More obvious close up, not that obvious from a distance. (also in Winry's case there's a little something covering her nipples to stop them from protruding or anything as part of Haruhi's vaunted sense of "decency").

They'll be around here most of the afternoon - talking to people who walk up, maybe playing a simple game (Haruhi brought cards to play with Winry what she did at the casino) maybe chatting up people if there's no bites. Later in the day - more like the evening - once all washed off you might also find them in the indoor pool or spa.

Obviously, this is a joint post between Haruhi and crytearsofjoy, and excuse us if we're a little slow]

[It's amusing that Robert honestly doesn't care either way for any of this.

Though if he knew what Haruhi was thinking, there might be an... interesting reaction.]

I suppose it is r-rather nice... [Robert is never sure how to approach a building like this, though. So many people...]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

The indoor pool and spa are really cool. Haruhi and I are thinking about visiting that later.

[godbent]

Yep! And the rooms are top quality by Luceti standards. Shiki got me one earlier, and I guess I owe her for the location.

[i_speak_softly]

[Don laughs.] We've been at the water park all day; I think we're done swimming for now.

[semper_cogitans]

[Indeed, Robert's hair is still a little damp.]

Thank you for the... r-recommendation, though.

And I can... certainly agree on the room quality... [He makes a thoughtful sound.] It b-begs the question as to what the Malnosso are c-capable of constructing, though.

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

[Winry waves a dismissive hand.] I'm sure we can think about that stuff later, but now we're here to blow off some steam and relieve some stress!

[godbent]

[Anything, obviously. She just rolls her eyes]

Yeah, that's the idea.

[i_speak_softly]

[Oh, Robert. Always thinking, indeed.]

[But seriously. What is -- wait a minute.]

Winry, what kind of shirt is that?

[semper_cogitans]

[At Don's question, Robert's gaze goes to Winry's torso. Not in a leering way - if anything, it's surprisingly detached.

Hmm. No visible fabric lines.

Fascinating.]

Skin p-pigmenting modification, perhaps...?

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

[Well things like fabric seams and premade folds are painted on, but it's impossible to paint it for every lighting situation. As an answer? Uh... uh... oh god they notice what does she-

JUST BE HONEST:] Ha-Haruhi made it.

[godbent]

Yep. My work!

[She beams, proudly. So they noticed, but it took them this long. She's counting it as a win.]

[i_speak_softly]

[THAT'S PAINT, ISN'T IT. Don quickly finds somewhere else to look. In a strangled voice:]

Very impressive, Haruhi.

[semper_cogitans]

[Robert doesn't even react to this knowledge, except to suddenly realize how much effort this must have taken to get right.]

Remarkable... And with Luceti t-technology, I suppose that means you... c-crafted it by hand...

... You must be quite the v-visual artist, Haruhi.

[He is impressed.]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

[Winry looks off in the opposite direction of Don. Now she's gets to be stared at like some piece of displayed canvas - even if she kind of... is. UGH SO EMBARRASSING. At least she has the tiny adhesive cover ups for her chest.]

[godbent]

That's right! Handmade, it's a Suzumiya Original! [She grins, even more proud now that Robert's praising her. Don might be flustered, Winry might be too, but right now she's barely noticing because hee she's so awesome] It took a lot of paint and an hour or three, but I was able top do it!

[i_speak_softly]

[Wait a minute again.]

Are you SOS-Brigade Suzumiya?

[semper_cogitans]

[Now, this, Robert remembers from before...]

... Ah, the SOS-Brigade... H-Haruhi spoke of that before.

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Recognize that, Don?

[godbent]

Damn straight! That's me.

[i_speak_softly]

[Good, now Don has a reason to dislike Haruhi, independent of her having stolen his not-girlfriend.]

We met over the journals and she explained it to me.

[semper_cogitans]

[He might need to explain this reasoning later.]

As I recall, the p-purpose of the Brigade is... mostly recreational...? [Is that correct? Robert's not sure. It has been awhile...]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I guess you could say that.

[godbent]

[...Waggling a finger right in Robert's face now] Hah! It's way more than that! The Spreading Excitement All Over the World With Haruhi Suzumiya Brigade - SOS-Brigade for short - is the peak of excellence in any field you might consider to be relevant to the common man! Beyond that, we also seek out and find the interesting or mysterious!

[she shakes her head, taking a step back and shrugging theatrically] So if you've experienced something interesting or mysterious, are experiencing it now, or will experience it in future, come to us! We'll work out out.

[i_speak_softly]

[Do not waggle your finger in his partner's face. 8| ]

It's a pretty long-standing group, isn't it?

[semper_cogitans]

[Robert inclines juuuust away from that finger-waggle. He is not sure how to react when somebody does something like that...]

Interesting or m-mysterious... [He muses thoughtfully to himself.] In Luceti, that... could easily to apply to n-nearly any mechanic...
