NAKED MEME

[killsfengshui.livejournal.com]

Suddenly.

You are naked.

All of you. Even you, over there, the already naked guy.

Except for one thing.

You all have fig leaves over your privates. They cannot be removed or destroyed. They are large enough to cover everything. (They might itch a little)

Oh, and even already naked people with no visible privates will have the leaves, either over their naughty bits' actual locations, or just where they should be.

[Headshake]

No, but now that you mention it I'm starting to feel hungry.

It's my culture's term for courtship---that is, engaging in a romantic relationship with someone, possibly in the hopes of forging a permanent bond such as a marriage.

One of the first rituals people participate in on 'the dating scene' is checking people out, as most of us are doing to each other right now. The conversation component is important too, but snap judgments about physical appearance are the first ones made.

[bonnypiperlad]

Oh! Courting. Aye, of course.

[Jamie knows what that is - it was just the term that threw him for a moment.]

Maybe ye are worried that if girls find ye attractive, ye would have to do that dating thing, and ye are worried about how that would go?

[morphitudinous]

That could be it. All of those girls are spoken for, but that didn't stop Katara from tickling me into submission.

[Shy grin. No, it's not as dirty as it sounds.]

If what Goliath says about the joy of love is accurate, then I would be happy, but it would certainly be a big adjustment.

[Curious glance]

How was everyone treating you?

[bonnypiperlad]

[eyebrow arch] I've not been tickled, at least.

[He shrugs, then.] About the same. People would look. Kaylee looked.

[There's a bit of a sly look off of that. Jamie may have very well decided to look back. It's brief, though, as his curiosity about something else takes over.]

What did Goliath say about the...joy of love, ye said?

[morphitudinous]

Then I'd recommend avoiding it if you can. It was so intense that I could hardly speak at all, and my undignified rolling and squirming around naked will forever haunt me. [Not that it was the worst thing to happen to him, but it was embarrassing to think about how he must've looked. What if someone had had a camera?]

[Deep breath] He said that love is...one of the most cherished experiences in the universe. To have a mate and comfort and protect each other gives life new meaning.

[Faint blush. He couldn't help but wonder if that would be him someday.]
