Rules
↳ Post your character with name, series, and preferences as the subject header.
↳ Reply to other characters, using the RNG (1-7) to choose a bath type from the list below.
↳ Characters bathe. Or other things involving a bath. Anything goes!
↳ Sex and/or triggery material may pop up in threads. Please be conscientious toward your fellow roleplaying buddies!

1. Bubble Bath ;
Here, the characters are sharing a humongous bubble bath with all the froth they can handle. The scent is delicious, the water is warm—go on, enjoy yourselves!
2. Shower ;
Perhaps not as fun as a bubble bath, but hey, at least it's built to accommodate two. Don’t slip!
3. Hot Tub ;
A whirlpool of warmth and—mm. Don't mind me. I'll just be sinking in.
4. Hot Springs ;
An outdoors bath is good, too, right? Or maybe this is part of a hotel. Either way, it sure is steamy.
5. Decadent Bath ;
There could be bubbles here, or maybe just those wonderful smelling oils and salts. Aww, yeah. This bath probably cost a small fortune, so you should enjoy it while it lasts.
6. Lake ;
In case the hot springs weren't rugged enough for you, here's an actual lake, complete with waterfall for all your rinsing pleasures.
7. Other ;
Anything else that may have been forgotten!

Oh, I don't think anyone would ask for more than five minutes.

[ But think of what could be done in those five minutes!! ]

[curtailment]

No way.

[ oh, he can only imagine. and he knows you, hange. ]

No one would win anyway.

[deviantlyhates]

[ She resists snorting. ] I would if I tried.

[curtailment]

Like you could keep yourself clean around your Titans.

[deviantlyhates]

[ She takes tha as a challenge. To secure said challenge, she pulls away from him, turning around to face him directly. Her voice low and laced with a smile, she says, ] I'll take that bet.

[curtailment]

[ after half a second: ]

Five minutes. You have to stay clean for a week.

[ this is not a fair compromise at all, but... ]

[deviantlyhates]

Starting now.

[ So she's given a head start in this bath, okok. ]

[curtailment]

You'll have to comb your own hair.

[ sort of a warning. he waves the comb at her, half-threatening. ]

[deviantlyhates]

[ She looks at the comb and... flicks it with her finger. ] You're underestimating me.

[curtailment]

No, I know you.

[ but yeah, handing the comb over. go ahead and give it your best shot! he's waiting... ]

[deviantlyhates]

[ She can do this. She can. Just start at the bottom of her hair, and-- ]

I should use more conditioner.

[ That will help get the tangles out, she knows that much. ]

[curtailment]

Sure.

[ he hands her the container. just going to sit back... and watch. conditioner might help in less severe cases, but he looks forward to seeing what might happen with her hair. ]

[deviantlyhates]

[ That seems to do the trick, actually. Sure her hair might be extra silky-borderline-oily for the next three days, but at least the tangles will be getting out!

She has one one inch section done. ] See? I can do this just fine... [ But look at all those strands of hair that have been pulled out by the comb. ]

[curtailment]

[ well... it's progress. levi grimaces at all the hair she's pulled out, though. ]

Throw that outside the tub and clean it up later.

[ don't you dare put it back into the water. ]

[deviantlyhates]

[ Well because he said not to--.... ] Cleaning the comb was not part of the deal.

[curtailment]

It's part of the rules. Clean up your own fucking mess.

[deviantlyhates]

What rules? I don't see any rules...

[curtailment]

Rules of being a decent human being. Which I guess you wouldn't know, fucking Titan-obsessed freak.

[ SIGHS. really, it's just him being annoyed because he's usually the one cleaning. ]

[deviantlyhates]

[ She'll just set the comb on the edge of the giant bath, instead opting to run her fingers through her hair. ] I'm perfectly fine with using my hands.

[curtailment]

That's not going to work when you've got so many knots.

[ eyeing the comb for a second, levi gives up on it and starts working on soaping himself up with the bubbles instead. ]

These smell weird.

[ scented bubble bath, of course! ]

[deviantlyhates]

[ It may be impossible, but try she does! ]



[ ...She leans her head down into the bubbles. ] Mm... fancy, I'd say. [ When did they get that budget? ]

[curtailment]

Some kind of... fruit. [ maybe? they don't get much fruit in the army. anyway, he uses those fancy smelling bubbles to scrub at a slight stain on his arm. ]

Who bought these anyway?

[deviantlyhates]

I think it's... strawberry? [ She can't exactly tell; she's not an expert on scents, and for some reason the more she attempts to think on the subject, the more she realizes just how... clouded her thoughts are becoming. Yes, that's right; clouded by something else-- subtle observations such as how muscular he is and how soft he seems to be in this moment, as well as... feelings?

... ] Do you like strawberries...., Levi?

[ It's spoken in a more hushed tone and oh god that was dumb why did she say that. ]

[curtailment]

[ he sinks down a little into the water, feeling the froth rise up to his collarbones. frowning, he considers her question. ]

No.

[ he makes an attempt to remember what he likes, which isn't as easy because he doesn't eat fruit that much. ] Peaches are better.

[ continuing to sink down into the water, he relaxes into the water. it's nice and warm in the bath, and he's feeling more and more calm despite the possibility of her leaving hair in the water. ]

[deviantlyhates]

[ What she likes is Titans, and everyone knows that. Her voicing this fact almost comes out automatically, but. They're becoming further and further from her mind. ] I haven't had a peach since the Wall fell.


[ Where is sits beside Levi, somehow she feels herself... being drawn in. What is this? ]
