Carnival: Babel [Action/Video]

[restlessdevil.livejournal.com]

[Zenobia is back at the Ferris Wheel.] Damn, still nobody here.

[She takes some time to study the ride, playing with the doors on the cars, and generally messing around. She quickly gets bored and goes over and turns on the vine.]

Hello! It's Zenobia here, and I was hoping someone out there would be willing to do me a little little favor. You see, I'm very interested in how this odd construction works [points to the Ferris Wheel behind her] but it apparently will not start without a second person to ride it.

I don't really have anything to give as compensation, but if someone would help me out, I'd owe you [grins] a favor.

[She looks doubtfully at the seat beside Zenboia; There is a whole lot of Vitalia (even leaving aside the issue of skirtage) and not a whole lot of space.] It seems like a proper balance would best be achieved if I took the opposite seat...

[She climbs in, daintily smoothing down her skirts as she takes a seat. Zenobia might catch some un-leglike movements from beneath the fabric.] I suppose it's automatic?

[It appears to be, as once the door latches, the motor hums to life and the car moves.]

Wow! This is exciting! It's like one of those Sky-ETHER platforms, but done with machines or something! Haha, we're ascending! Oh damn!

Oh! I can see the lake! [Vitalia: Plastered against the glass now]

And there are those ruins... Oh, there are people! They look so small from here!

Re: [action]

[restlessdevil.livejournal.com]

Haha, we aren't even halfway up yet! [Zenobia: Hands against the glass herself, fascinated.] This was so totally worth it!

And there wasn't any charge, was there? So we can do this any time we please?

Oh! We're so high up!

Re: [action]

[restlessdevil.livejournal.com]

Yep! I don't see any reason why we can't, just as long as two people get in a car, I suppose.

[The ride pauses as they reach the top.] Ohhh... I can see almost to the very horizon! Look, it's so far! Oh, it's so exhilarating!

[And then she laughs: a girlish giggle that quickly progresses into full-blown maniacal laughter. Such is the way of the family of Dr. Ruiz.]

[What the hell. Zenobia tries out the maniacal laughter, too. Not usually her style, but it's fun!]

[made-of-science.livejournal.com]

[OMG! It's just like home! Vitalia beams and impulsively (and one-armedly) hugs her cagemate, making the cage swing.]

[restlessdevil.livejournal.com]

Mmm? [Zenobia takes this as a cue to hug her back.]

[made-of-science.livejournal.com]

o- oh dear! [She squeezes tighter as the cage rocks] I wasn't thinking! I hope I haven't caused a malfunction!

[restlessdevil.livejournal.com]

Hey, don't panic. Just enjoy the ride! [Zenobia knows she is.]

[made-of-science.livejournal.com]

i- if you're certain it's all right...

[...should she move? But the wheel is starting again and they haven't plummeted to their dooms... and Zenobia IS hugging her back, so presumably it's OK.]

[restlessdevil.livejournal.com]

The carriage seems to be still attached to the overall structure. I'm sure we'll be fine even if there's some rocking...

[Zenobia uses this opportunity to move her right hand a liiiitle lower...]

[made-of-science.livejournal.com]

That's true...

[Whoa hand movements what is going on here]

[restlessdevil.livejournal.com]

I believe last we met we had a little conversation about sex... and about benefits other than offspring... did we not?

[made-of-science.livejournal.com]

Er, yes?

[The point






Vitalia's head]

[restlessdevil.livejournal.com]

[That hand goes a little lower...]

You feel how close we are? Does that not excite you? Do you feel anything?

[made-of-science.livejournal.com]

I...

It's rather...

...warm...

[restlessdevil.livejournal.com]

But is your heart racing? [She runs her other hand up her side and cups her cheek.] Do you feel.... good?

[made-of-science.livejournal.com]

I... I believe my pulse does feel unusually strong...

[restlessdevil.livejournal.com]

Am I getting through to you?

You feel it, don't you? That other... "benefit" you were looking for? [lightly rubs her cheek.]

[made-of-science.livejournal.com]

[She makes a soft sound]

I... I'm not...

[The car halts at the ground. Vitalia pulls away abruptly, red-faced and flustered.]

The... the ride is over.

[restlessdevil.livejournal.com]

Yes, it appears it is. [Grins.]

I'll let you go for now, but... do you really get it, now?
