3° }} VIDEO (Forward-dated to tomorrow afternoon)

[ On screen is a very shirtless Mick wearing nothing but a pair of tight black yoga pants with red stripes down the side with the letters "BODY HEAT" running up one side and a towel around his neck. He's gotten an assistant to hold the comm. He's feeling very cold right now, actually, so he speaks just a bit faster than he normally would to get this over with. ]

Dunno how many of you know who I am, but I'm Mick Rory. I do a workout show called "BODY HEAT!" as a yoga instructor -- [ He smiles wryly in a "yeah, I know" sort of way. ] -- and we're doing something special starting in a coupla days. We want some guest stars to come on board and film a few episodes with me.

No yoga experience required either. Think of it as a free lesson -- that you get paid for. Just make sure to bring water. Gotta keep hydrated 'cause it's gonna get pretty warm. But that ain't so bad in February, right?

[ Mick is fine with it all year round, but he's aware that not everybody's into it. ]

On top of that, it's being tied into a charity drive to raise money for the Heropa General Hospital's Burn Ward. And since September we've gotta whole lot of new folks who have fire-breathing on us, it kinda needs it.

[ And a particular pet cause of Mick's, considering his background. But he's not advertising that part. He smiles again. ]

Any imPort's free to sign up, unless their name is Leonard Snart.

((OOC: This is more of an informal thing but def let me know if your character would get involved and if so if you'd prefer to handwave or log something about it, I'm totally good either way.))

( --she laughs, relaxes by increments. )

Um, yeah, the suspended kind. I do acrobatic silks as well, but I got into it through my yoga instructor. I've never been filmed doing it for anything but instagram, but I'd like to help the fundraiser.

I'd like to get more involved in charity work here, so. If I could help, that would be really cool. And I could look at donating money rather than time when I'm more settled.

[pyrogue]

A good a start as any. You're welcome aboard.

[ He grins. ]

You new? That ain't a bad thing for the show, new imports are kinda a novelty -- just curious.

[trouvaille]

Great - just let me know when and where you need me.

And - yes. Very new, still, I arrived recently.

( the adjustment is hard. the learning curve is steep. the bloody-minded determination not to be dependent on anyone else for stability in a strange place is very real.

enough to prompt her to be a little more flexible (pun intended) than she'd ordinarily be about how she operates. )

I'm Gwen.

[pyrogue]

Friday sound alright? And it's nice to meet you, Gwen. Welcome to -- y'know, I don't even know if I have something funny enough to describe this place as. It ain't hell, that's for sure.

[trouvaille]

Friday sounds good.

I never spent much time in America, before. I'm prepared to believe it was always like this.

( no, that's a joke. )

[pyrogue]

Where you from?

[trouvaille]

Florence, but I live in London. Lived.

( that's going to take some getting used to. )

That's the short version. I usually just say I'm European.

[pyrogue]

I gotcha. Feel like I'd give an answer like that if someone asked what state I'm from.

Well, welcome to America, this version of it anyway.

[trouvaille]

Living here is a bit different to occasionally seeing the inside of hotels and cabs.

( wryly )

I'll get myself organised for Friday. Do you need anything from me in the way of details or...?

[pyrogue]

The show handles most of that, you can contact 'em here -- [ He provides some contact info. ] There'll probably be some waivers to sign and that sorta junk. Might wanna ask them about getting your specialty into the show.

Y'think aerial yoga's compatible with hot yoga? Kinda have a whole theme going here.

[trouvaille]

I'll give them a call, thanks - ( saving those details )

I think so. We might want to try it out once first? Just promise you'll catch me if I pass out from the heat.

( so dry. )

[pyrogue]

Sounds like a plan to me. But I'm sure you'll be fine. Just a bit toasty, is all.

[trouvaille]

It'll be fun.

( --she may be saying this to convince herself, but mick sounds like good company, anyway. if nothing else she can look at his biceps #worthit )

[pyrogue]

If you want, I can keep an eye on your temperature. [ He scratches the side of his neck, looking away from the camera. ]

I can, uh, sense temperatures. Porter thing.

[trouvaille]

Oh, that would probably be...cool? ( lilting almost like a question; other things that will take some getting used to is how frank people are about what they can do. ) My temperature is usually a bit lower. I have like, poor circulation.

( she does not. she knows she does not, in fact, but she did believe it for many years. )

[pyrogue]

I'll keep that in mind.
