[ 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.]

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

[boutant]

No, we went somewhere in the City. I don't think he has his own tattoo gun sitting around.

[ Maybe. ]

[ 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.

[ Angela, Ariadne loves you even more right now. ]

I miss it. I've been studying in Paris for the past few years; I haven't been gone for this long since I started.

I have my good parts, 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.

[whitetwoguns]

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

[signatures]

Typical? No, I don't typically draw whatsoever.

[ He just makes with the fraudulent inspirations. ]

[whitetwoguns]

Is he going to put you in some portfolio now?

[Then again her ink (uh and skin gdi Ariadne) is for everyone to see already...]

action;

[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. ]

[Don't love her too much. She's only happy today because she's not wearing any pants.]

I did a couple summer school sessions there and then a semester there too. Then I lived there and they practically had to drag me away from there. Paris is like the boyfriend or girlfriend I can't let go.

[boutant]

Which one? Eames? I doubt it.

[ Hey she has a modesty cat. ]

[whitetwoguns]

Hey Rembrandt don't get shy. It's already there for people to look at. You might have people trying to change your mind.

[ She'll love her anyway, deal with it. ]

I'm not sure I'll be heading back to the States right away when I'm done, at least not if I can help it. [ There's a slight shift on the couch, prompting Biscuit the cat to open one eye. ] What did you study there?

[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?

[thenormalsquint]

Art history and boys, mostly. [Look at that face. Jesus, a smile like that hasn't shown on Angela's face in forever.]

[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]

No. My cat's taking a nap.

[ Do you want to startle Biscuit awake and have him expose her butt, Steve? Do you? ]

[boutant]

[ Another laugh. ] Yeah, Paris was definitely good for that.
