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!]

Oooo, a talk! Tell me more!

Sparkle was absolutely grinning and bouncing on his toes at that, yes.

[smilestopscars]

First of all, he said people usually don't bother, for classes like this. But he was also into it.

Like any smart person was, after talking to Ezra.

So definitely something close to the skin.

Because they didn't want him getting caught in the silks.

I'm kind of tempted to go for a bare back with some kind of a statement thing around the shoulders.

[myownface]

Bare back YES.

There, have Sparkle's approval of that idea, right there. And not just because 'bareback' made him giggle like he was twelve for no reason at all, honest.

And I like the statement thing. Any ideas, there?

[smilestopscars]

After a little Googling, Ezra sent him a link to a picture.

Not necessarily in this style, but something to this effect? Think stylishly evil queen.

[myownface]

Well, damn. I like it. And we want to avoid anything too loose, but maybe I can get a similar effect with lace. Brocade would be too heavy...

Look, he was already overthinking it!

[smilestopscars]

Oh, no, he was thinking of it just the appropriate amount.

I think I'll leave the choice of material up to you. You're the expert and the artist, I'm just the canvas for you to adorn with your work.

If he'd actually spoken that instead of typing it out, it probably would've come out sounding dirty. No surprise there.

[myownface]

Sparkle's imagination was filling in a blank or three.

You say it like that and I'm going to have to figure out how to work body paint into the design, you know.

Didn't get much more skintight than that, right?

[smilestopscars]

Ezra was snickering.

Like I said, it's up to you.

[myownface]

I'm sure you're not complaining about how you'd need to find somebody to help apply it, either.

Sparkle was grinning, yes.

[smilestopscars]

No, I figure that won't be difficult at all.
