Who| Signless and Beck | Signless and OPEN
What| Signless has a chat with the new D12 stylist and does his best to stay occupied.
Where| Around the Tower
When| Arena Week 2
Warnings/Notes| None I can think of!
A. For Beck | D12 Stylist Area
Stylists are, admittedly, not Signless's favorite part of the Tower staff. He doesn't like being fussed over and prodded and put in outfits that are more impractical than they are comfortable. It's incredible how much he misses Cinna and Cinna's understated style, even if the stylists that have been looking after Twelve since Cinna left have been giving him increasingly more and more freedom in what he wears. There are some perks to seniority, he supposes.
It's therefore with only a little trepidation that he steps into the domain of Twelve's new stylist, an as-yet mostly unknown entity to him. When she introduced herself over the network he was still steadfastly ignoring his communicator and so he has no idea what to expect from her. These tattoos aren't going to update themselves, though, and she's the best place to start.
"Miss Scordato? May I come in, or are you busy?"
B. OPEN | Tower Commons
A new rack of Celebrus is always something to at the very least take a glance at. Most of the time Signless just hopes he and those he considers his have been overlooked, but it seems this time he hasn't escaped a mention. Frankly he's surprised there wasn't more of a focus on him given his connection with the Initiate, but he's grateful that connection wasn't mentioned or, god forbid, the focus of a whole tragic chunk of an article.
No, they chose to talk instead about the time he thought providing a mercy kill as someone who'd never killed before was a good idea. They chose instead to focus on a relationship with the Psiioniic he doesn't actually have (wrong quadrant, still very much up in the air) instead of the relationship he does have and has had for months. It's not really that bad but he knows his small but dedicated group of fans are going to have a field day about what they see as confirmation of their 'ship'. Panem humans are weird.
"At least cloaks are finally in fashion," he mumbles to himself, flipping idly through the pages.
C. OPEN | Around the Tower
If there's one thing Signless has noticed about Capitol fashion, it's that male humans seem to wear an awful lot of dresses. He may be somewhat biased by the large amount of drag queens on staff, but he still feels as though that might be something he should get in on. And why not? Leggings are 'feminine' clothes (apparently?) and those are perfectly serviceable and comfortable. The right dress should follow the same principle -- and, furthermore, should show the Capitol that he's making an effort to adapt to their norms and lifestyle.
Alright. So it's possibly a little flawed, as plans go, even if it comes from a good place. It doesn't stop him from talking with Beck, and it doesn't stop Beck from making the dress or setting him loose on the Tribute Tower with it on. As expected, the dress itself is quite comfortable -- he asked for one that wasn't restrictive and that showed off the floral tattoos on his arms, and that's exactly what he got. He doesn't even mind the makeup, simple black eyeliner and red lipstick; it's no worse than any of the other makeup he's been put in and for once it actually suits him. No, the real problem is the heels.
Signless doesn't like shoes at the best of times. He's worn heels all of once, a pair of low chunky blue things that were part of his disguise during the first jailbreak. These heels -- bright red, fairly tall, strappy -- are an entirely different beast. When he's not wobbling around like a baby giraffe he can be found sitting on the nearest flat surface giving his feet a break.

nsfw for genitalia discussion
"I'd just rather be remembered for what I did than who I did," he says with a wry smile. But there really is no helping it -- and at least if he's remembered for this, he'll be remembered for loving someone who really is very dear to him. That isn't all bad.
"And mine does, at the very least. Trolls are a species with a good deal of variation between individuals, so I can't speak for the rest of them. Certainly all the ones I've personally had the honor of seeing naked have had one. Or two." In some ways the Psiioniic is just as much of a mutant as he is.
bless this thread
"I don't regret that question," is all he can say for a moment. Good job Signless, you temporarily broke Leo. "How does it all fit?"
it is a gem
"How does it all fit where? There are a lot of different places one might want to fit."
Alright. Now he's just doing it on purpose.
no subject
"You don't actually have intercourse, do you? You do something with a bucket."
Well, there went any chances of Leo actually eating anything unless he gets some brain bleach or hit his head enough times to dull the mental image.
no subject
Unless you wanted to be inordinately neat and tidy about it, but Signless had other ways of making that happen. Buckets were too inextricably linked to a system he wanted no part of for him to make use of them.
"As for how things fit, you must have noticed how disparate troll sizes can be." He isn't going to mention the Initiate, because, well... it should be obvious which seven-going-on-twelve foot tall troll he means as an example. "We're very flexible."
Now he is definitely just seeing how far he can push this.
no subject
"You're doing this on purpose, aren't you?"
Oh totally, so now it's time for Cora to fight back, "How flexible are we talking about then? Because if, say a human were to fuck you silly, what are the hazards?"
no subject
"I'm imparting knowledge. Sharing information in the name of interspecies understanding." He's totally doing it on purpose.
"And there aren't any hazards, apart from a mess. You also might come out of it with some marks." Claws and fangs, you know. He looks sidelong at Leo, eyebrows raised, expression carefully neutral. "Why? Don't tell me you're secretly big in the fanfic circles."
no subject
He knew a hook when he heard one and the coach considered it for a second before nodding, "I've been in the circles, but not for the research."
Poor Torin...there were many an equiment that suffered for their venting.
no subject
"And please, don't flatter yourself. I meant a universal you, not you Leonidas Cora, though it's interesting to know you don't mind a bit of mess."
Stands to reason mess wouldn't be a big problem for him, considering he is one.
"Not that flirting with you isn't fun, mind."
no subject
Their game was getting personal and...Leo couldn't help be amused rather than disgusted. Signless has proven to be so much more entertaining than the Capitolites here, it's becoming a slight worry for him to think like this.
"Likewise Signless." Is this another acknowledgement of friendship.
no subject
"Careful, or the fans will be calling for you and Roland to fight for my honor. They think we trolls have some kind of courtship ritual that involves knocking our horns and heads together."
A pause.
"We don't, in case you ever wondered."
no subject
If they live that long.
no subject
Not now, of course. He'll have to wait until he isn't under constant Capitol scrutiny, because otherwise he'd basically be writing his own arrest warrant.
"It's different for every troll. I personally can easily be plied with gifts of food." His eyes flick down to Leo's hands, then back up again. "As for blood, your blunt human nails simply aren't enough to break troll skin, sorry to say. Even with all your admirable dedication."
no subject
This was definitely getting personal and the trainer reels it in with a laugh, "Granted, all this talk could land me in trouble if it were to actually happen. Cyrus was very clear on the consequences of natives and offworlders fucking around...literally."
Everyone knows the older Reagan was referring to Porrim and Jolie, both infamous for their lays with their Tributes. That wasn't acceptable on a good day, and Leo's not risking his District's reputation for an exotic adventure.
no subject
"I get plenty of attention already anyway. I wouldn't want to get you in trouble."
