Caught in the Act @logan , NOTES Well, she had to admit, swimming wasn't that bad. In the past, she mostly distanced herself from this dubious act of getting into the water in a swimsuit accompanied by other people and - as they said - having fun. Swimming was okay. Maybe even enjoyable. In a bathtub. At home. In warm water, surrounded only by your cat and a good book. But why on Earth would I jump into a pond or a pool with people watching me as I'm trying to use my hands to stay above the water and not suffocate? That was one of life's questions Colette couldn't answer. In fact, back in Rio, she occasionally visited the beaches with her friends, but more because of the cocktails and the company than actually dipping herself in the ocean. But now... everything has changed.
Since Zee showed her swimming in the small river here in Petra Exterior (the name of this planet still sounded like some Christian rock band) she suddenly realizted it is actually fun. And quite relaxing. Jumping into the cold water and letting those waves carry you, it was a great way to feel alive and escape the stresses of this godawful nomadic existence. So, since then, Col began to visit this little riverside more and more often for a well-deserved dive-in. Slowly, she even admitted to herself it's quite okay. Even enjoyable. Truly enjoyable.
Only one thing made her still uncomfortable with swimming in the lake. And that was her outfit. Or rather, the lack of it. When they first dived in with Zee, she wore only her underwear in the water, which was bad in itself. Fortunately, that time, noone has seen her except her friend. But still, wearing only panties and a bra made her feel a bit uncomfortable. At least, if I had a nice body, like curves and boobs and something, but basically, I have the body of a 12-year-old boy, she lamented. However, getting her underwear all wet, she had to wait until it dried, so she could fully dress up. So, when she went to swim alone, she made a hard decision: she decided to get rid of all her clothes, and jump in naked, so she could immediately dress up after she got out and dryed herself with a towel. So, that was the big choice, now she had to be absolutely sure that noone was around who might see her, before she removed her outfit and jumped in the water, wearing nothing else but her own skin.
The water was awesome - warmer than the last time, and truly beautiful: the young Canadian could see her reflection in the magically clean waves surrounding her. She laughed as she let these warm tides get to her, and made her forget the day's worries. She jumped on the waves and did some swimming, fastening the tempo as she continued. It was absolutely magnificent... until... Suddenly enjoyment and laughs turned into terror and fear as she heard something moving behind the nearby bushes. Alright, let's hope it's only one of those bear creatures or squirrel creatures of something similar. If that's the case, I'm saved from public humilation. But if it's one of those hillbillies or Jungle George-type survivor guys, Great Monster in Pasta Heaven save my soul.
"Hey! Who's there?", Col shouted, trying to cover her breasts while simultaneously stroking with her arms, not exactly with great results in either.

 The Straight And Narrow What an absolutely horrible mood Logan had been in lately. Sure, he’d beat the crap out of a bunch of people, but that definitely didn’t outlast the mere fact that the only person who had ever known him thought he was possible of murder. Besides that, he’d glimpsed her at the drop point and knew she had seen him but still. She just moved on. Better off anyways. He’d avoided the colonists as much as possible since he had seen her, and yet for some reason had found himself there much more than usual. Perhaps it was murphy’s law. So, instead of going to the trading post like he had planned, he decided to migrate away from it and follow the rivers trail.
His hand was still stiff, two of his knuckles were swollen and one was certainly broken. Not that that was anything new. Once you broke your knuckle, it always seemed to inflame and never really get any better. The pain was just a nuisance, and anyone on the exterior wouldn’t know any different. Logan was anything but a whiny baby. Still, it did put a damper in his ability to protect himself from non-humans. So of course, he was out in the middle of fucking no where, because why the hell not. He’d been following the river for quite some time, and was just lucky something didn’t want to come follow him.
He hadn’t seen anyone in miles, which was not too rare but still, even a trace of the colonists would normally be apparent. So he definitely did not expect to see an article of clothing strewn on the ground of the forest floor. And he definitely did not expect to hear a splashing of someone in the river. When the voice called out, Logan raised his brow slowly before he leaned down and picked up the shirt he had seen and walked out of the bushes. It had been quite some time since he had last seen this specific woman. Actually it had been even before the Scorch, minus getting a glimpse of her at the Drop Point last time. And of course, the last time he seen her she was fully clothed not…Was she completely bare?
He spun the shirt on his finger tip before leaning against a tree with a smug expression on his face. ”I think you are missing something Miss Bubbly” The nickname came from his lips before he even processed it, having actually forgotten her name completely. He spun the shirt again as if for emphasis, the corner of his lip moving upwards as he glanced down at her. ”Didn’t anyone ever tell you to not leave your clothes lying around? Why are you skinny dipping alone? Lucky I wasn’t someone else, because honestly the whole--” Pausing for just a moment as if to think up the word before he flashed her a smile. “Skinny as a toothpick doesn’t do much for me. But you should be more careful”Logan looked at the expression on her face and he couldn’t help but bark out a slight laugh in pure amusement, she definitely looked less than pleased with the fact she had been caught red handed and..bare.

Caught in the Act It took a full two minutes until Colette could fully grasp what has just happened. And then, she wished someone would drop an A-bomb on this planet, destroying the whole surface, killing everyone and everything, then blasting the whole dead globe into a nearby sun, making sure she'd be put out of her misery as soon as possible. Maybe if I'm fast enough, I can dive down into the water and drown to death before I become even more embarassed. Or get out to the shore, make a campfire and burn myself like a Tibetian monk. Or find a laser gun and disintegrate myself to fairy dust. Or cut out my eyes like Oedipus in Czechoslovakia. Or ask Jackie Chan to perform the three-finger death grip on me. Or find another planet, rename myself Ricardo Klement and live in a garbage container for the rest of my life. Why... why... just why??? Out of everyone on this hellhole of a planet, I mean everyone, all the guys, gals, kids, squirrels and giant worms, why HIM?? Oh, dear Heavenly Pasta, why?  Colette felt her face getting red and her head exploding, ready to die rather than to live with the thought that Crocodile Dundee has seen her naked. Knowing this guy, he'll probably laugh his head off, tease her, and then tell the entire colony he just took a peek at little bubblish sporting the Garden of Eden fashion line. Alright, there still can be hope. Maybe I can find Laura Dern's dad and Batgirl hanging around, and ask them to use their little time travel gadget to bring me back half an hour ago, so I could avoid this whole situation. Otherwise, I'm doomed. Just as she expected, Crocodile Dundee found the whole situation amusing. Very amusing. He even let out a small laugh as he watched her, trying to cover her bare breasts while staying on the surface. Miss Bubbly? Missing something?? He loved to make crude remarks, right? Like proving to himself he's a macho man by making him come of as a total a-hole. Honestly the whole... whaaaat??! What was he implying?? Making jokes about... no! And then, when Logan called her 'skinny as a toothpick', the young and very much naked Canadian exploded. She couldn't take it anymore. She suddenly let herself loose, so her weight would put her down and she'd dive (and most probably drown) in the water. However, it took her a split second to realize it was a bad decision, and suddenly began to stroke with her hands, getting back to the surface, her hair looking like a coral reef and her face like an erupting volcano. Now this makes me even more laughable in his eyes, right. The girl who cannot even commit suicide properly. She finally gave up. She just shook her head, and on a resigned voice, said to herself in her native language, "Dieu vous maudisse! Faites-vous mal à vous tous en enfer!"*
* "God damn you! God damn you all to Hell!" |

The Straight And Narrow When she dunked back under, after pure embarrassment crossed her face, both eyes brows rose up on Logan. How many crazy chicks could he run into on this planet? Did not normal people come here? There hasn’t been a single normal encounter with a person since he had arrived on this hell hole. It didn’t take long before she resurfaced and seemed to bitch at him in French. Now while he does not personally speak French, he could gather the just of it and she seemed to be cursing at nothingness. Or him. He couldn’t quite gather if there was a difference. But he decided to play dumb, as he was assuming she would think he would.
“I know sometimes my presence is overwhelming, but no need to thank the heavens for my being here.” His eyes roamed over the surrounding area, as if her naked presence didn’t affect him in the least, randomly twirling her shirt on his finger. The fact that she thought he would go tell all the colonists about this uneventful gathering, showed that she knew absolutely nothing about him. He is a Nomad after all. He had only ever met Nicolette once, okay maybe twice, but she seemed to loathe him for some reason or another.
It was a little weird though, all he ever did was be kind to her and a jerk to others yet she acted like he was a hell hound. So why not give her what she wanted from him. After all, maybe she felt left out that he was kind to her and not others? Or hell, maybe she just liked being ridiculed? ”Why are you sputtering in a river alone? Do you not realize how dangerous it is out here for someone as weak as you? You should stay close to Nemus probably, they have watchers that can protect you.”

Caught in the Act
Having calmed down a bit, Colette felt ashamed and disgraced, like someone caught with her pants down... well, in this case it was without pants. Or any other clothing accessory for that matter. Still trying to stay afloat while covering her breasts, but now with muzzled hair, looking like a coral reef, the young Canadian felt it was time to leave - or at least try to leave, before Crocodile Dundee seizes the opportunity to tease her even more. It was such an annoying situation, she couldn't even describe the level on unpleasantness she felt.
"Overwhelming?", she asked, when Logan gave another proof of just how huge his ego was. Thank Heavens for him being there? Of course, he was talking sarcastically - at least some redeeming quality about the man. But still, it all shouted of his huge overblown ego complex. "Do you know what happened to Actaeon the hunter when he peeked at Artemis showering naked in the river?" She didn't expect Crocodile Dundee to have read Ovidius or be in any way familiar with classic mythology. She let him think about the question, while she slowly swam towards the shore and stepped out of the water, carefully trying to cover her intimate areas from sight. She quickly reached the area covered by trees and large bushes, which provided a hide-out for her, so she could find her clothes and turn back into a modest law-abiding non-nudist citizen.
"Artemis turned him into a stag and let his own dogs tear him apart.", she answered her own question, while searching for her blanket and clothes among the bushes. "You can thank your luck I'm not a goddess just a plain mortal human."
Regarding the man's comments about her being weak and needing protecting - yep, another display of his superiority complex, especially over women -, Colette shrugged, and replied, while picking up the towel, "You call me weak?", she asked, "And who would protect me? You, big boy?"

The Straight And Narrow You are weak. Yes. Look at how you reacted to simply being naked. Have you ever even had a man touch you before? Because I somehow doubt it, acting like a virgin. Nakedness is natural. Just look at Aphrodite, the naturally nude goddess. Perhaps you should take a page out of that mythology instead.”
He stretched his shoulder blades back as he spoke, watching her as she searched for her clothing and could not help but think how hostile she always was towards him. As far as he knew, all he ever did was offer her food and cut her out of a trap and yet she seemed to think he was the devils advocate himself. It just did not make sense.
“I would never leave someone to die, as a decent human being. Yet you seem to think that makes me not decent? For some reason, you got it into your head I’m a horrible person. May I ask, Why? I gave you food when you were hungry. I removed you from a trap when you requested. And yet you get this serious stick up your ass whenever I am around. Unless..”
He paused, studying her with curiosity before a slow smile crossed over his lips. “Unless it is because you have some weird crush on me?”

Caught in the Act "Nakedness is natural, yess, it is.", Colette replied while dressing up. She caught herself trying to get in her trousers for minutes, being diverted by Logan's talk, which again, made her feel truly uncomfortable. "But some people just don't like to be peeped upon, okay?", she said, "And just for you to know, Artemis and Aphrodite are in the same mythology." Then, reacting to the man's words about her being a virgin, which, simply by the fact that a guy like him was talking to a woman like that, was so much insulting she couldn't even find the words to describe it, she simply shrugged with a grin, "And my sexual history is not your concern."
Col knew she was acting like a hurt child, who was teased in the school yard and now played the pouting kid with the 'screw you too' attitude, which, in the eyes of someone like Logan, just made her seem to be even more pityful, but she couldn't help it. Then came the second blow, which again made her wish someone would drop an A-bomb right on their current location. Whatwhatwhat?? Me... having a crush... on HIM??? That was the most idiotic, most far-fetched, most deluded thing she ever heard. How on Earth could that even slightly cross someone's mind? That made no sense. No sense at all. It was laughable.
"A crush on you? Don't be ridiculous.", she rolled her large blue eyes, "You think every women on Earth, err... sorry, this planet, must have a crush on you, right? Well, no."
However, the other things Logan said made some sense, as she suddenly realized. Fully dressed up now, she walked out of the bushes, to finally face the guy, now decently covered by clothes. It felt like if a sudden burst of empathic feelings came over her. She saw Logan as a person who was maybe - maybe! - misjudged and feels it's unfair towards him. Like... honestly, did he actually do anything bad to her? But then, the image of the egoistic guy always boasting about himself, always thinking he's king of the jungle, stepped in front of the image of the misjudged guy, not letting Col turn overly sympathetic.
"Yes, you set me free from the trap. And gave me food. And that was kinda nice of you.", she slowly said, "Let's not forget that I also fixed your broken arm.", she added for the sake of truth, then with a long shadowy lament into the past, she tried to speak as honestly as she could, "Well, first of all... I felt that from the very first moment you looked at me like if I were crazy or something. And honestly, I don't like that.", she explained, "Second, I'm sorry to say that, but the way you behave and the way you act, and the way you think about yourself, like if you were the ultimate macho man with an overblown ego. Well, maybe some people find that attractive. But honestly, I find it a bit repulsive.", she then quickly shook her head, feeling that the last word was a bit too harsh, and wanted to correct herself. "But maybe I'm just too quick to judge. I'm sorry.", she finally said, with her eyes fixed on the ground above, not too keen about lifting her head to face the man eye-to-eye.

The Straight And Narrow His eyes watched her move behind the bush to change, and he couldn’t help but roll his eyes. Woman was more prude than anyone he had ever met. And annoying. And not a good annoying like some people he knew, more like a bitchy whiney type of annoying. A holier-than-thou attitude just emanated from her and he couldn’t help but be disgusted by it. No one should look down their nose at him, but that’s all she seemed to ever do.
Her exasperation over the fact he stated she had a crush on him caused both his brows to raise. Studying her reaction before one shoulder raised in a half shrug. “You know in kindergarten, when a girl always makes fun of you, or acts like she hates you unreasonably, it is because they have a crush on you. So, I think you do. Would you like to take ol’ Logan for a spin? I promise I can make you forget how horrible this planet is.” Hey, if she was going to go off spouting how egotistical he seemed to her, he might as well play into the role.
Again she was rattling off about how he always seemed like the ultimate macho man. And how repulsive he was. And every other negative things he could possibly say to him. Wow, this girl had it in for him big didn’t she? Apparently she even knew what he thought now! How amazing. He’d really need to get in on her super powers pretty fucking quick. Maybe he could put her in a circus show. Come one, come all, to see the psychic bitch from hell.
Oh. She was talking again. He had zoned out into his own thoughts only to hear the end part. “Apology accepted.” Came his smug response, a smirk flashing across his features as he knew, just knew, how much she would freak out over him.

Caught in the Act @logan , NOTES Colette's eyes flashed for a moment, as she tried to decipher if Crocodile Dundee did actually offer his services to her. And if he did, was it the rudest, most chauvinistic thing she ever received from anybody. Well, she got used to drunk idiots occasionally whistling to her from the audience and asking if the pianist girl could perform other things as well as playing the keyboards, but this was something else. He was definately so full of himself and so much looking down at women - well, especially her, it seemed - that he thought he could just tell her out for a 'spin'. Back at the university, Col mostly thought those feminist groups were just girls needing a hug to cheer up and change their mind before they go and slay down men with Starbucks spoons, but now she actually realized she saw their point. At least some parts of it.
"In kindergarten, yes. But I don't think we're in kindergarten anymore.", she replied, "And neither at a fun fair to take spins.", she added with vigor instead of the outrage she felt inside. She realized if she covers her emotions and replies with sarcasm instead of outburst of panic, she could make a much more worthy opponent.
Apology accepted? Even when you're trying to make peace, he answers like the most egoistic person around. Such a serious case of ego-complex, she might invite him to a class as an example, if they were back at the uni. The girl's feelings that Logan might've been unfairly judged quickly disappeared hearing this remark, but still, she felt it was time to bury the hatchet. Or at least hide it in a bucket of acid. "Alright.", she then said. "Now that you've accepted my apologies, we could actually talk about stuff. Like yourself.", she continued, "I'm really curious what past experiences have created this marvellous personality you're today. Did you have a happy childhood? Were your parents kind and caring to you?"

The Straight And Narrow He didn’t even justify her remark about kindergarten with a response. She was the one that acted like a spoilt brat. He did nothing but help her. Constantly. If there was one thing Logan was, it was selfless to those that needed help. Well, except for like looting from them, but even then it was normally only the randoms. He had never stolen from her. He had never injured her. Hell, he barely even knew her, and she was acting as if he was the most ignorant asshole on the planet. So, he’d be just that. Seemed like it worked pretty well so far.
He figured the ‘apology accepted’ might fire her rage, but apparently she was trying to remain calm. So Logan did what Logan did, and he let his gaze drop about 15 centimeters lower, to stare directly at her chest as if it was the most interesting thing about her. Which, obviously, it wasn’t. It was so flat it was ridiculous. Nothing like Red or Farrah…The thought flashed and he smirked to himself, although it may look like he was laughing at her. Maybe he was, a little bit.
“My parents? They were wonderful. My mother was a family doctor, and my father was a teacher. I grew up in a nice house, with a wonderful picket fence. That was until my uncle started to show me a little bit too much interest. Suddenly we had to move away really quickly, and relocate to a new city which was very confusing for me. I answered your overly-personal question, your turn to answer mine.” He smiled then, bright and charmingly gross, his eyes twinkling with amusement and complete entertainment. “Do you ever think you will get laid with that stick up your ass?”
