EnsTren (2:52:20 PM): Seth, Anzu, and mai are trying to coax seto into a bikini for when they all takeover the waterpark for a day
Edmondia (2:52:52 PM): heh
Edmondia (2:53:08 PM): a blue and silver one, I assume?
EnsTren (2:53:44 PM): or black and silver with lapis beads
Edmondia (2:54:10 PM): I take it she's balking?
EnsTren (2:54:19 PM): yep
EnsTren (2:54:42 PM): and she uses the excuse she doesn't have enough curves to make it look good
Edmondia (2:55:22 PM): Seth has made an incoherent sound of disbelief and slapped his forehead
EnsTren (2:55:45 PM): And she's worried and stuff
EnsTren (2:56:11 PM): Mai brought one of those tummy cut out one pices, like a bikini but connected on the sides?
Edmondia (2:56:34 PM): "Why are you worried?"
EnsTren (2:57:15 PM): "Because I've never gone out as a girl before, not even as a boy."
Edmondia (2:57:58 PM): "Swimming? It's just us..."
EnsTren (2:58:21 PM): "Never showed that much skin before, either."
Edmondia: (Seth is still gaping in disbelief, btw)
Edmondia: (and is all, "It's not that much skin! It's not indecent!")
EnsTren: (at what?)
EnsTren: (she's shy)
Edmondia: (he's... not.)
Edmondia: "It's just us!"
EnsTren: "And Yugis, and the mutt and his sister, and Honda, and Otogi. And I'm paranoid that Yugi will use the wibble eyes to greater effect than you to get me to bring his grandfather along as well."
Edmondia: "...Simon-sama won't oogle you, I promise!"
EnsTren: "Why do you pin an honorific on his name, and what makes you think that?"
Edmondia: "Because Simon-sama is... Simon-sama, and because I'll beat him severely if he even thinks about it? ...he likes Anzu better anyway, ne?"
EnsTren: "...Because I'm small," she stared down at her chest.
Edmondia: "Handful-sized," he retorted, "And I like you like that, so pleaaaaaaaaassssseeeeeeeee?"
EnsTren: "Yeah, two together to make a handful. If you didn't like them so much I'd consider a masectomy."
Edmondia: "A wha?"
EnsTren: "Breast reduction or removal," Mai supplied while patting Seto's back
Edmondia: Seth's eyes went comically wide. "Noooooooo!" he wailed, and flung himself against her, "Not my darlings!"
EnsTren: She eeped then squirmed, "I don't see why you like them, they are a handful together."
Edmondia: He nuzzled her, purring. "But they're yours."
EnsTren: "Can't I wear a shirt over it?"
Edmondia: "No!"
EnsTren: "Why do you want me to wear it?"
Edmondia: "Why did you want me to do a naked rain dance?"
EnsTren: "It wasn't a rain dance!" She was blushing, "And because you pulled me out into a downpour. And you were doing hip thrusty!"
Edmondia: "Heh. You're cute when you blush, you're cute when you're in little strappy things. That's why I want you in the bikini."
EnsTren: "But..!"
Edmondia: He took advantage of their closeness to loop his hands around her back and pull her against him. "But what?"
EnsTren: "It's... and I'd... And I'm!"
Edmondia: "And you're... not giving me a coherent answer, pretty love," he tweaked her nose.
EnsTren: "Why should I show that much skin, I'm renting a waterpark for a day."
Edmondia: "That's the whole reason you should show that much skin!"
EnsTren: "Is he making sense," she asked her girlfriends.
Edmondia: "I think he just wants to see you in a bikini," Anzu said mildly.
EnsTren: "Why do you want me in a bikini then?"
Edmondia: (who's she asking?)
EnsTren: (either of the girls, both even)
Edmondia: Mai flashed her a grin. "You need to be more comfortable with yourself."
Edmondia: Anzu smirked. "Why not?"
EnsTren: "...Because I prefer not to unless I get better reasons."
Edmondia: "You do need to be more comfortable with your own body though, Seto-chan," Anzu said softly, "You need to know yourself, and not be ashamed of what and who you are."
EnsTren: "Can't I do that in a one piece?" She was whining, she knew she was whining, but she couldn't help it.
Edmondia: "Nope," Anzu and Mai answered in unison.
EnsTren: "Why not?"
Edmondia: "Because you're not challenging yourself that way," Mai said simply.
EnsTren: "...B...A....Argh! Fine!" And she snatched the pieces from waiting hands and stomped off to put on the bikini in private.
Edmondia: "Thank you baby," Seth sang after her.
EnsTren: It was black with silver horizontal zig zags about a centimerter wide and a bit more than a centimeter apart. The sides were made to look tied even though they weren't, and the tassles were beaded with silver and lapis beads.
Edmondia: She supposed it was pretty.
EnsTren: ...She considered, waaaay too much skin. Maybe she could tie something around her waist?
Edmondia: Or maybe... wear shorts?
EnsTren: They would complain.
Edmondia: Maybe... a sarong?
EnsTren: Yeah... That sounded good, and they couldn't complain if it was "stylish" enough.
Edmondia: She'd have to take it off to play in the water, though.
EnsTren: Some cover sometimes was better than no cover all the time.
Edmondia: She'd find a nice one and then her yami couldn't complain. She'd be pretty enough.
EnsTren: She went though her closet looking for a scarf or something.
Edmondia: She didn't have enough girly clothes.
Edmondia: But she eventually found a black and silver scarf that she could use.
EnsTren: She folded the square diagonally and tied it around her waist.
Edmondia: It made her feel a little less naked.
EnsTren: She was still nervous.
Edmondia: She did... look pretty, right?
EnsTren: She hesitently stepped out.
Edmondia: Her yami gave her a long, appraising look, eyes narrowed.
EnsTren: She took a nervous half step back.
Edmondia: He crooked a finger at her and motioned her closer.
EnsTren: She didn't like that, and so half-hid behind the door, shaking her head.
Edmondia: "Why not?" he purred invitingly.
EnsTren: She showed him how he motioned to her just previously, her nervousness tainting it and making it seem a touch too athorative for her tastes at the moment.
Edmondia: C'mere, baby, you don't have to hide from me, I just want to see you better - that's all right, isn't it?
EnsTren: She played with a beaded tassel nervously.
Edmondia: Hikari, will you let me see you?
EnsTren: Why?
EnsTren: You see me all the time, you just saw me.
Edmondia: Let Mai-chan and Anzu-chan see you, too, baby, please?
EnsTren: She nervously came back out.
Edmondia: Come here and let us see you? he invited, a soft smile curving his lips, Let me see how pretty you look?
EnsTren: She forced herself not to shuffle out.
Edmondia: (http://www.moveon.org/front/)
Edmondia: He took her hand and ran his fingers up her arm. You're beautiful, beloved, you know that, don't you?
EnsTren: She looked up at him in question and disbelief.
Edmondia: He gave her one of those tiny, brilliant smiles. "Pretty," he murmured, and brushed his lips over her knuckles.
EnsTren: She blushed and looked to her friends for assurance.
Edmondia: Anzu was nodding in approval. "Good color on you."
EnsTren: And Seto relaxed slightly. "I need sandals," she muttered, and stared at her toes.
Edmondia: Mai seemed to be considering it thoughtfully, tapping a finger against her lips. "Sandals, an anklet, and a necklace," she declared.
EnsTren: "I know a store where they do custom bracelets on the spot," Mai commented, "We can get a matching entwined ankelet there, I can get a nice one, but it's pretty expensive."
Edmondia: Her yami was running his fingers over her tummy.
EnsTren: "Grab what you need from my wallet," Seto murmured as she melted slightly.
Edmondia: He licked her shoulder.
EnsTren: "Not in public," she grumbled but didn't move.
Edmondia: "Hmn," he murmured, and nuzzled her throat.
EnsTren: Anzu smiled and ushered Mai out to go get the ankelet, necklace, and sandals.
Edmondia: He ran his fingers along the curve of her side and idly started toying with the scarf.
EnsTren: She gave him a hard look, lower lip sticking out slightly.
Edmondia: "What?"
EnsTren: "Don't take it off."
Edmondia: He pulled back a little, blinking in puzzlement. "Why not?"
EnsTren: "Cause."
Edmondia: "Cause why?"
EnsTren: "Don't want you to."
Edmondia: "Why not?"
EnsTren: "Wearing too little already."
Edmondia: He pulled back and gave her a long look. "All the indecent bits are covered," he said mildly, "And that's a fairly modest suit already."
EnsTren: "So speaks someone from a time where the prostitutes went around naked."
Edmondia: "Just think, if we'd been married back then, you'd be going around in transparent linen and little else but gold."
EnsTren: "And I wouldn't leave my room"
Edmondia: "Heh." He kissed her nose. "Baby, it's just gonna be our family and friends. You'll be all right."
EnsTren: "Why would I have to wear skimpy if you didn't have to?"
Edmondia: "Lady wife of highest nobility. Just the way things were."
EnsTren: "People would doubt you were married because no one would see me."
Edmondia: "Doesn't matter." He kissed her cheek. "I'm glad you'll wear this, baby."
EnsTren: "Because you like my boobies."
Edmondia: "I like all of you," he nipped at her throat, "But yes, that is nice. I want you to be comfortable with your body, baby."
EnsTren: "It feels alien to me sometimes."
Edmondia: He pulled her closer, hands sliding down, resting his cheek against her hair. "Still?"
EnsTren: "Yeah, I never had breasts before."
Edmondia: "Mmm..." He tweaked one affectionately. "I like them."
EnsTren: "..." She rubbed the spot where he tweaked absently.
Edmondia: "...tell me."
EnsTren: "Not used to having them, that's all."
EnsTren: "And it's weird."
Edmondia: "Weird?"
EnsTren: "That you like them, that they are there."
Edmondia: "Of course I like them." He kissed her cheek. "You're pretty with them."
EnsTren: She laid her head on his chest, "They aren't small?"
Edmondia: "They suit you," he murmured, "And they fit my hands. No, they're not small."
EnsTren: "You're sure? And what about when I was like a boy?"
Edmondia: "You were pretty then, but you're prettier now."
EnsTren: "Should I be insulted or not?"
Edmondia: He traced a finger down her side. "No... they suit the curves of your build much better now."
EnsTren: "Do you mind that I don't shave there? I noticed that you do, which makes sense because of the heat of your homeland."
Edmondia: "Body hair is icky, but I don't mind yours because it's you."
EnsTren: "Heh, I would have to be allowed to wear nontranslucent clothing so I wouldn't be making a lurid display of myself!"
Edmondia: "...you have a point there."
EnsTren: "Haha! Yes!"
Edmondia: "And you're decently dressed now, baby, so can I take off your skirty thing now?"
EnsTren: "No, I feel indecent with it on."
Edmondia: "You're overdressed," he pouted.
EnsTren: "Am not."
Edmondia: He licked her cheek. "Feh."
EnsTren: "I'm frightened, what will the others think of me?"
Edmondia: "...that you look pretty in a bikini?"
EnsTren: "I feel cheap again."
Edmondia: "Why?"
EnsTren: "Showing so much flesh."
Edmondia: "That's not being cheap, that's being practical for swimming. Nobody's going to think any less of you for it."
EnsTren: "I could be practical in a one piece."
Edmondia: "It's more fun this way. Learn to be comfortable with youself, baby."
EnsTren: "I wish I could just swim in a wetsuit."
Edmondia: "No, baby, that won't make you feel any better."
EnsTren: "It's skin tight!"
Edmondia: "Why are you so shy about your own skin?"
EnsTren: "...not a lot of people saw it before, and I had to... get some things removed..."
Edmondia: He kissed her nose. "You're lovely now."
Edmondia: "You have nothing to be ashamed of."
EnsTren: "I remember though."
Edmondia: "We'll make new memories." He kissed her lips this time. "Better ones."
Edmondia: "We can move beyond it."
EnsTren: "It will always be there."
Edmondia: "Yes, but we can move on." He dropped another kiss on her lips. "This is our life now."
EnsTren: "...Yeah, but it's... I remember when it wasn't my life."
Edmondia: "...I know. But... the memories will soften, in time."
EnsTren: "They haven't yet."
Edmondia: "It hasn't been long."
EnsTren: "You're right, I guess..."
Edmondia: "Of course I am."
EnsTren: "I feel like I should have made more progress."
Edmondia: "Why?"
EnsTren: "Because I feel like I should have conquered this by now."
Edmondia: "It's all right..."
EnsTren: "There should be a box of condoms in our drawer by now, it feels like."
Edmondia: "Bwuh?"
EnsTren: "To keep me from getting pregnant, I feel like I should be over this."
Edmondia: "These things take time, baby."
EnsTren: "I feel weak."
Edmondia: "You're stronger than you know."

EnsTren: (...In my head there are women's rallys cause of seto and for her)
EnsTren: (and anti childabuse ones of course)
Edmondia: (go seto)
EnsTren: (yeah, seto is a bit bewildered)
EnsTren: (and uncomfortable)
Edmondia: (mmhmm)
Edmondia: (she doesn't get how special she is)
EnsTren: (nope)
Edmondia: (Seth has glomped her)
Edmondia: ("Pretty special hikari!")
EnsTren: ("I don't understand these women.")
Edmondia: ("You mean a lot to them.")
EnsTren: ("Why?")
Edmondia: ("You're very strong, beloved, and people admire that and your courage."
EnsTren: ("If I were strong I wouldn't have masqueraded for as long as I did after I killed him.")
Edmondia: ("Beloved, you're stronger than you know." He smiled. "You're still human, my love.")
EnsTren: "I wasn't."
Edmondia: "You're a strong woman, my love."
EnsTren: "But they rally behind a child's image."
Edmondia: "They feel for your pain."
EnsTren: "I was a child that was abused, yet they hold it up as a symbol for women."
Edmondia: "To show what a woman can survive."
EnsTren: "I didn't."
Edmondia: "You did."
EnsTren: "...I'm glad that there's stronger child abuse laws being passed."
Edmondia: "As am I."
EnsTren: "Some people say I'm lying."
Edmondia: "Lying?"
EnsTren: "That the tape isn't true."
Edmondia: "Fools and idiots."
EnsTren: "I'm sad."
Edmondia: "Sad? Why?"
EnsTren: "I don't know."
Edmondia: He kissed her forehead.
Edmondia: "Is it me?"
EnsTren: "No. Not you, I know it's not you."
Edmondia: "Then what?"
EnsTren: "I feel like I'm... I don't understand them."
Edmondia: He tilted her chin up. "Who?"
EnsTren: "Them, the ones who protest because of me."
Edmondia: "How so?"
EnsTren: "They rally over it."
Edmondia: "You don't think your case is worth it?"
EnsTren: "No, why they do."
Edmondia: "Because you were treated horribly and they want to make sure it doesn't happen to anyone else."
EnsTren: "What about the feminists?"
Edmondia: "What about them?"
EnsTren: "Why do they rally?"
Edmondia: "In support of you."
EnsTren: "Why? It's over."
Edmondia: "...because you're incredible?"
EnsTren: She closed her eyes and leaned against him.
Edmondia: He stroked his fingers through her hair. "Mmm?"
EnsTren: "...I'm afraid, too."
Edmondia: "Of what?"
EnsTren: "That when the excietment dies down they will reopen the case on Gozaburo's death."
Edmondia: "Justifiable homicide, and you didn't kill him."
EnsTren: "The fall did."
Edmondia: "No, the landing did, to be more strictly correct. And you didn't shove him out the window, love."
EnsTren: "...?"
Edmondia: "...oh, you did?"
EnsTren: She was almost certain she remembered pushing him. But she also remembered him jumping. "I... I don't know."
Edmondia: "I think he jumped, pretty love..."
EnsTren: "A-are you s-sure?"
Edmondia: He tilted her chin up and looked in her eyes. "I'm sure."
EnsTren: She breathed a sigh of relief and sagged against him.
Edmondia: He nuzzled his lips against her cheek and smiled. "You're lovely, you know."
EnsTren: She sighed as he said that.
Edmondia: "Mmm?"
EnsTren: She only embraced him.
Edmondia: He squeezed her tight and dropped a kiss on her forehead.
EnsTren: "What should I do with these groups?"
Edmondia: "Urge them to give their support to those who need it, perhaps?"
EnsTren: "...what about the pictures?"
Edmondia: "What about them?"
EnsTren: "Sometimes...All the time... I don't like seeing them, or that... Gozaburo."
Edmondia: "...I'm afraid there's not much we can do about that, pretty lover." He kissed her cheek. "Just... try to avoid them as best you can."
EnsTren: She buried her face in his chest.
Edmondia: He nuzzled his lips against her hair. "...I know it hurts, baby, but... we have to move on, together..."
EnsTren: "Yeah... Yeah, you're right."
EnsTren: (that's a wrap)
Edmondia: (has the media noticed him yet?)
EnsTren: (yeah, you know, the usual rags have blurry usually fake pics)
Edmondia: (ah)
Edmondia: (I assume she's been turning away interviews?)
EnsTren: (hell yeah)
Edmondia: (heh - how to freak her out: have the paparazzi get piccies of her waterpark party)
EnsTren: (she will not leave the house after that)
Edmondia: (o.o)
EnsTren: (paranoia)
Edmondia: (she'd have to eventually)
EnsTren: (and be careful about it)
Edmondia: (heh - can you see interview requests piling up like a mile high?)
EnsTren: (yeah)
Edmondia: (...Seth is very helpfully offering her a lighter)
EnsTren: (she's introducing him to napalm)
Edmondia: (he's cackling)
EnsTren: heee
Edmondia: demonic boi
EnsTren: does he tell cousin about this wonderous substance?
Edmondia: of course
EnsTren: and what dose cousin do?
Edmondia: cackles
EnsTren: heh
Edmondia: dem silly
EnsTren: and destructive.
EnsTren: heheheee
Edmondia: :-P
