[ The camera turns on at an odd angle, held haphazardly over Ariadne's back -- which is completely bare. Luckily (unluckily?), there's an orange tabby cat curled up on her backside, shielding it from view with his conveniently placed nap. There's some shaking as she tries to move the angle up, and-- there we go. On her back, near one shoulder (her hair swept to the other side), is a tattoo; healed by now, black ink, a circular maze with the Eiffel Tower in the center.

From out of the shot comes Ariadne's voice. ]

I just realized that I never really showed this off after it was done. Eames designed it for me for my birthday back in April.

[ Does she need to be naked to do this? No. But hey, curses will be curses. ]

((ooc: also open to action at the house! Sorry boys.))

Good to know he's not completely skill-less.

[As only a true friend would point out.]

How long did it take?

[boutant]

I'm sure he'd be flattered.

[ Or something. ]

The design, no idea. Actually getting it done... an hour and a half, maybe? I didn't really keep track, Eames was being distracting.

[whitetwoguns]

I'll try and be sure to tell him.

[Or something.]

He drew and inked it?

[Then again the Limey is his own canvas so no big wonder.]

[signatures]

I have my good parts, you know.

[whitetwoguns]

In places, sure. I'll give you that. Nice little art you got there. Is that the typical?

I'm jealous. If I didn't change my mind every five minutes, I would have gotten a tattoo of the Tower myself.

[ Ariadne laughs. ]

Have you ever been?

To the Tower? They know me by name there. [No, they don't, but they should.] I try to go back at least once a year... if I'm not here, you know.

[ Eames is sitting at the kitchen table, reserved to his own brand of nudity - but at least doing most of the house a favor by keeping sitting instead of strutting about. ]

I was already resigned to your eternal shame and regret.

[boutant]

Well, it hasn't happened yet.

[ Has anyone else noticed how comfortable this couch is while nude? ... Don't answer that, she doesn't want to know. ]

[signatures]

[ Yes Eames has experience with that couch. Particularly nude napping. ]

Maybe when you hit your fifties.

[punchedhitler]

Ariadne, why aren't you wearing a shirt?

[boutant]

To show off my tattoo. [ WEREN'T YOU LISTENING, STEVE ]

[punchedhitler]

[Sorry, no, he saw naked flesh and just replied]

It's very well done.

Can you put a shirt on, now?

[skintoskin]

[Naked Neil is naked, too. Currently only from the waist up is visible, though.]

Nice tat. At least he didn't put an evil eye on you.

Oh, and Happy Belated Birthday, 'cause I think I missed it...

[boutant]

[ She would be slightly more appreciative if it wasn't just weird due to the similarities between Neil and Arthur. Oh well. ]

He showed me the design beforehand.

[ A laugh. ] Thanks.

[skintoskin]

Why the tower?

[wouldnotkindly]

Wow... [Jack doesn't seem to mind the nudity either, if his own from-bare-shoulders-up camera feed is any indication.] That looks really good on you.

[boutant]

[ BEAMING ] Thanks!

[wouldnotkindly]

You're welcome. [He beams right back.]

It didn't hurt too much, did it?

[aperfectthird]

[...yeah, blushing way too much to have a video feed, thanks.]

That's lovely, Ariadne.

permavideo on her end

[boutant]

Thank you! I'm really glad I decided to go through with it.

[aperfectthird]

I didn't realize Mr. Eames was such an artist.

[worldofourown]

You're going to cry when this curse ends.

[boutant]

I don't think so.
