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. ]

[She noticed that someone was on his way over, of course. Even without her glasses, she can recognize the shape of a person, although it's blobby and not easy to identify someone at a distance...

... but as he wanders closer to the pools she gets curious enough to pull her glasses down over her eyes, wiping condensation off with her fingers. Is that - yep. Oh yes. Yes it is. And this... seems like a perfect opportunity to settle a topic that's pretty awkward, but that she's also honestly quite curious about.

So as Tek gets closer, she pretty much blatantly drops her eyes and starts casually scoping out his package. No shame. She's generally flushed from the heat of the water; otherwise, it would be quite obvious that she's not blushing.]

[he'd been originally heading toward a different pool, but his admiring-stare-radar goes off and he spots Hange over there eyeing him. and... really, she's the only person that he'd have second thoughts about being so exposed around... but he can't exactly take it back now.

so, he rolls with it after a short pause, heading in her direction as if that's what he'd intended all along.]

...You're staring.

[at his supernaturally perfect and uncluttered--but otherwise completely human-looking--set of male bits.]

[aberrant_type]

[Not for that long. She squints, wipes of her glasses again... and then a look of disappointment crosses her face and she sits back in the water.]

... Well, I was hoping you'd have interesting genitals.

[heresyandlace]

[aha! he'd suspected that would be her reaction. why, of all the nerve...]

You know, "interesting" is not normally a word that you'd want ascribed to genitals.

[he's only forgiving her because she's already lauded herself as a complete weirdo. he's coming to expect these things by now. so, he barely misses a beat on his way to sliding into the pool that she's currently occupying.]

And, please... give me some credit.

Do you honestly think that anything about me appears as it naturally would?

[aberrant_type]

[If there's something Hange has no shortage of, it's nerve.

Anyway, she settles back, eyes sliding half closed as he oozes his lizardy way into the water. Is he forgiving her? It looks more like he's being slimy as always. The last remark perks her up a bit though.]

Really? What are they normally like?

[Not that she expects him to answer, but the question must be asked.]

[heresyandlace]

'Interesting.'

[and ahhhh yes he slinks all the way down into the water, eager to be out of the cold air, even though he'd been roasting only a moment ago. shoulders and arms and finally his chin settle to rest on the rim of the pool, eyes immediately drooping closed. a happily basking reptile.]

And, really... you do take all the fun out of being mysterious, you know that?

[aberrant_type]

Well... your current appearance is a little generic, to be honest.

[At least in her opinion.]

Your unmasked self was much more interesting...

[Ahh, the steam rising from the water is fogging her glasses again. She pops them right back up like before.]

[heresyandlace]

You are the extreme minority, I'm sorry to say. Normal people find my masks very appealing.

[he's not going to bother lifting his head or even his eyelids. he can carry on a conversation perfectly well lazed out like this.]

And you just run right out and ask these questions--all bug-eyed and mouth agape. It takes the fun out of the whole thing.

[aberrant_type]

That's such a shame. [In a tone of zero sympathy and zero upset. Really, it's like being called four-eyes by an eight-year-old.]

[heresyandlace]

[and so he just huffs a little and drops it. he can bask in silence just as well.]

[aberrant_type]

[Maybe they'll just have an entire thread chilling silently in the hot springs pool, because Hange returns to gazing at the forest, relaxing in the heat and thinking about stuff.]
