Commonwealth Circus Center, Boston, Tuesday

Even though it was probably surprising to a lot of people who (thought they) knew him and his lazy ways, Ezra was actually back in class this week. But it wasn't really that surprising. Yes, he was lazy, but he could up his game when the incentives were good enough. Like when there were a ton of hot people around. Or when he could do something that was both new for him and something he was naturally good at, and which didn't involve scaring or hurting anyone.

But of course he'd only really tell anyone about the hot people.

Or how hot he himself looked when he was wrapped up in the silks and suspended gracefully in the air.

He didn't text anyone during class today, because now that they'd all gotten hang of what it felt like to be in the air, upside down or not, there was too much to do for him to devote all his time to texting while he waited. But still, because he was incorrigible, he managed to get some new selfies with his silks, and even got one of the instructors to take a picture of him where he was victoriously posing rather high up, having successfully climbed his way there with one of silks winding around his ankle and between his feet. It was only too bad he hadn't thought to ask them to video it.

And now that class was over, and he'd taken a moment to shower and cool off, he was texting some of those pics to Sparkle, because he'd said he would. And Kathy, because surely she would appreciate some progress updates.

... And Ada, because why should everyone else have all the fun.

[ooc: NFB, but open for texts and calls, regardless of whether you're one of the ones mentioned!]

There's schools for that? Well now I'm jealous we didn't have those classes in high school. Woulda been more fun.

And possibly less traumatic.

Of course, she'd have to send him a picture in return. She turned a bit to the side, which got her yelled at, but she managed to snap a decent selfie in the mirror. She was clearly in one of the dressing room tents, being laced by an older girl into a ridiculously tight corset over a very short, ruffled skirt. Another girl was fussing with her hair, and she was the one mid-yell at Ada.

barking for the dancing girls tonight, so I get a makeover. apparently I don't get to 'dress like a feral carnie' when I'm working for them.

He had shared what he was doing, it was only fair for her to do the same! And Ada was aware that she was currently quite the vision of pink and golds, almost like a strange flower.

really? I'm not sure if I like the waist or if it's terrifying. or both.

Probably both, since she could still breathe. Kinda. It involved a lot of heaving bosoms, which were now getting covered in glitter to hide her scales.

love you too, m'dear tricky one. who let you into circus classes, and how many have quit from envy?

ain't gonna argue with you about alluring

Because yes, these were lovely pictures, and he just looked happy in them.

next thing I know you'll be flying through the air on a trapeze!

If only because then he'd be a flying fox, and that would be funny.
boneyard_girl: (oh really now?)

is there gonna be an end of class recital? bc I'll come out for it to swoon at your elegance

Ada Miller, stop feeding his ego.

seriously?

Ezra tended to be deeply private about anything beyond the surface comments about his world, and Ada respected that. She didn't exactly go inviting everyone to the carnival.

That didn't mean she wasn't going to jump at the chance to go visit.

I promise to clap loudest for you.
boneyard_girl: (caught!)

Go somewhere that people with dubious intentions might take a little too much interest in Ada and her non-human status? AHAHAHA NO. Been there, done that, have the related PTSD shoved down into the mental box of 'Alabama.' As much as Ada loved seeing her friends' lives outside of Fandom, all Ezra would need to do to deter her was say 'not mermaid-safe' and she'd take a hard pass.

Such promising innuendo deserved another quick snap, of the magic that the corset had done for her (very glittery) cleavage.

You're my faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaavorite!!!

Ada was going to give him a moment with his imagination while she touched up her lipstick. Because she was caring like that.

well I'm not a ~lady~ so that's just fine with me! not sure what I'd do with a gentleman.

...that was a lie, because all her male friends were gigantic softies once you found your way into their affections, past whatever defenses they had in place.

so what else have you been up to besides taunting your class with your natural grace and skill?
boneyard_girl: (curious)

I looked up videos of that after you told me about it! Can I help?

Yes, she'd looked it up just to make sure Ezra wasn't messing with her. She was a Southwest girl! She could tell you which cacti were edible, but trees? They kinda all looked the same.
boneyard_girl: (smile)

If it's happening while I'm there, I'd like to help at least a little, even if it's just making cookies for everyone to snack on while working.

...Ada liked being useful, okay? And being emotionally supportive by way of cooking counted as useful.

If not, that's fine, I'll happily content myself to telling you how very dashing you were, all tied up like that.

Hell, your housemates don't mind me stealing the kitchen, it's pancakes for everyone

Ada chewed at her lip for a second, then--

Which. How much glitter I gotta bring? Do I need to plan for inside the house, or are they ok?

She didn't think Ezra would live with someone that was an utter asshole, but it was entirely possible they didn't know there was a whole world out there beyond humans.
boneyard_girl: (smug)

[personal profile] boneyard_girl 2019-03-24 07:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Ada tried to never leave a trail as well, which was why she deleted those two texts from her phone almost immediately. But, well, she hadn't really known any other way to ask.

I'll plan for at least one day of pancakes. Oh! I'm making more glitter this week, so if you want any particular colors, let me know. I'll bring it along with some carnie gin.

Because the edible glitter was fun for everyone! ...and it took a supernatural/cryptid/insane constitution to drink the Miller family moonshine, and Ada liked sharing.

I can coordinate with Sparkle. You focus on your spectacular performance.

One last selfie, of Ada blowing him a kiss via the mirror.

gotta work. I'd say 'be good,' but what fun is that? so be amazing.

...though about three hours later, Ezra would get another text, this one with a picture off-kilter of an eye and some curly hair and someone that was very much NOT Ada, but someone small who had been practicing their light fingers, and Ada had not been in a position to swat their hands away from her skirt without people noticing.

Waffle loves you, Ezra. And knows enough not to scroll back through Ada's messages, but can read enough to send that 'selfie' to both you and Hyacinthe.
