ACTION Enchanted Forest / Spa Time
WHEN Upon reaching the system (Jan. 4) to leaving it (Jan. 31)

[ It's another day, another planet for the Drift Fleet to explore. Whether it be relaxing in the landing field, checking out the spa (and subsequently getting urged to enter the woods), or taking on the Enchanted Forest's game, there's enough to do for stir-crazy Fleet members.

Just remember one thing: make it look good. ]

[zhas is around somewhere, and he's not wearing his face paint for once. in fact, he's... not wearing anything. he's also been doing a very good job of staying well out of the way, in a corner or... mostly submerged behind some rocks.

the water is kind of nice, but he keeps spacing out... maybe someone should check and see if he's, like, remembered to drink water or if he'd rather just dehydrate to death.]

[aberrant_type]

[Did she sense his presence or something? Because Hange is surging up behind him and leaning on the rock he has his back to. It hides most of her body, though the weird calluses striped on her skin are visible.

Zhas can count his lucky stars for that much.]

I thought that was you hiding out over here!

[theboogieman]

[with all that noise, he looks over just long enough to notice her arms and... those markings? and that she's... just as naked as he'd immediately feared.

he calmly turns his head forward again and just... sinks... until most of his face is submerged. his eyes are just above water level. maybe he can just stay here. maybe this will be better.]

[aberrant_type]

[Oh you poor child she tries not to laugh... but... she's smirking.]

Remember to drink plenty of water! You might not feel like it, but you're probably pretty dehydrated if you've been in here a while.

[theboogieman]

[he nods sullenly into the surface of the water...]

[aberrant_type]

[Taking pity on him.]

I'll just leave you to it, shall I? Enjoy the springs. [sloshing off...]

[theboogieman]

[...he reaches for her at the last minute, as she's passing behind him. he slides through the water to grab her wrist.]

[aberrant_type]

[Oh? That's a bit of a surprise. He's not normally touchy... she pauses and glances at him. What's up, skull?]

[theboogieman]

[he's being very careful about where he puts his eyes, but... he drifts to where he can see her calluses better, sinking deep into thought as he lets go of her wrist and tries to touch the marking across her collar.

just the tips of his fingers. he just wants to know.]

[aberrant_type]

[... Oh.

She lets it happen, although her face stills seriously. She'll stop this if it gets more intimate than that.

The skin... well, the water and Hange's sweat makes it more slippery than usual, but it is a noticeable difference in texture to the rest of her skin. A little rough, a little dry (although she's all wet now, of course).]

[theboogieman]

[he draws his hand back, after a moment, looking at his own fingers... rough, dry, and even. not magical. his first instinct is to guess the markings have a symbolic nature (too many of Coil's necromancy notes, perhaps), but they seem more strategically placed than that. potentially from frequent friction... a harness, of some kind.

answers his question. he nods to himself and sinks back in the other direction... fully intent on going back to lurking by his rock.]

[aberrant_type]

Don't forget to hydrate, kiddo.

[Reminding again. She'll let him be and go back to gazing at the woods and silently speculating.]
