Who: Nelkeila Tarid and YOU
Broadcast: Video, Fleetwide
Action: Casino station
When: Middle of the month somewhere

[sometime in the evening, shortly after dinner, a grinning elven face (with brand new crazy bluish hair) appears over the network. the camera is unsteady, bouncing all over as he shuffles his grip on it.]

Guys! Hey, guys... did you know that there is a tattoo place here? And it's, like... right next door to this bar where everything looks like it's covered in gold? And... there's a place to dance...

[and--ah--he finally gets the communicator turned all the way from his face, so it can swing around to show clumsy shots of all the places he's mentioning. lots of light and sound, it looks like a party.

and eventually, the camera jostles around to show his face again, and he looks so excited.]

--Hey! We should totally all get tattoos! It'll be awesome!


[and anyone who heads down to meet him, or just happens to be walking through this section of the station, can find Nel either bopping around the waiting area of the tattoo parlor, or hanging out in the bar next door, looking over a free handout of tattoo designs.

anyone is welcome, whether interested in a tattoo or not. join in, observe the chaos, shake your head-- whatever!

also, feel free to start your own threads and treat this as a mingle, if you'd like!]

Comments

[catamite]

I don't? [aww... he frowns, seeming maybe more disheartened by that than he should.]

But I already have some-- [and he rotates his forearm so he can show the man, but... oops, there's nothing but clean, blank skin there.]

...Oh. Well, I had them. On both arms.

[cabbagedetective]

[Adachi eyes Nel like he's full of crap.]

Uh huh...

[Then he chuckles as he slides the handout of tattoo designs back over to Nel.]

Well, if you really want this one, then you should go ahead and get it.

[catamite]

I don't know if I want this one.

[and he spreads the pamphlet open in front of him, holding down one corner with an empty glass, so he can pick up his drink again.]

I was thinking maybe just something in elven, too. Like... a cool word.

[cabbagedetective]

[Adachi props his arm up on the counter, and rests his head on his hand. He orders a drink with the other, as he continues talking.]

A "cool" word, huh? So what comes to your mind?

[catamite]

[and oho Nel has put some serious thought into this one, obviously. he grins and gestures with one hand, like he's envisioning the word painted on a wall in front of him instead of on his skin.]

Something good, like... "Sexy."

1/2

[cabbagedetective]

[Adachi had only taken a single sip of his drink... but that still didn't stop it from coming out his nose as he half-choked, half-laughed. Give him a minute here Nel.]

2/2

[cabbagedetective]

[After his laughing fit dies down, Adachi takes a few deep breaths, calms himself down, and clears his throat before continuing.]

Ahem, well... heh... se- [Trying to not start laughing again.] sexy's a good choice.

[catamite]

Don't laugh! I'm serious...

[he whines a little as he slumps forward over the bar, but he's laughing too.]

[cabbagedetective]

No, really, I'm serious. You should get it.

[Adachi tries to look as sincere as he possibly can after his little laughing fit.]

[catamite]

No! You think it's dumb, I can tell...

[but he is also still laughing, and now hamming it up a little because--look!--someone thinks he's funny!]

You don't think it would work on me? [and he does a little flaunting wiggle in his seat, looking as cute as possible.]

[cabbagedetective]

[Okay, the wiggling and giggling was definitely a little weird, but Adachi just kind of ignores it for the moment.]

Hey, if it's something you really want to get permanently emblazoned on your body, then who am I to stand in your way?

[catamite]

[yeah... it's best to just let him do his thing and move on. he gets distracted from the act in a moment, anyway.]

I still can't decide, really. ...Do you have any good ideas?

[cabbagedetective]

Something better than having the word sexy tattoo'd on your body?

[Adachi feigns like he's giving it a lot of thought. The words "gullible" and "sucker" come to mind.]

Nope. Sorry, but I can't think of a thing.
