This isn't normal
He's not quite sure how she managed, but Maria talked Jon into carrying her out to this secluded island she knew of for a day in the sun. She can be sneaky like that.

And, well, that bikini is really something else.

Aside from her usual efforts to make him blush, everything was going pretty smoothly... til the kraken tried to sink the yacht and fishing boats out in the distance. They'd managed to rescue everyone, but there is definitely something weird going on here - and the kraken had sunk back into the ocean before he'd been able to try and deal with it... so still out there somewhere.

	Suddenly being topless didn't phase or shock Maria. It was Maria. She took off running as fast as she could. No way in hell was she going to be a sacrifice. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jon eyes the top, sighs, and tucks it into his belt before he takes off after her. This is awkward on so many levels, and he's just hoping this doesn't somehow get worse. Like, you know, trying to catch her while simultaneously trying to figure out how to not watch the topless brunette running isn't bad enough. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He easily caught up to her and Maria turned to face him. She waited until he was close and tried to kick him in the nuts again. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He pulls up short, both confused, and trying frantically to look anywhere except her chest when she turns around, giving her a clear shot. That probably hurts her foot, but who knows, it might make up for it with all the 'hard' jokes she has fodder for now. "Maria...? What...?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Fuck," she yelled and hopped on one foot. Knowing her luck she just broke some bones in her foot. "You're not going to take me back to that cave and toss me on that altar." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2013-01-31 02:19 am UTC (link)
	And now she's... hopping... that's not helping. And... there's really nowhere else to look, lest she kick him again. "Altar? What are you talking about?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm telling you, I hadn't seen you from the time we split up til you came out of the cave. There's got to be some way you can be sure I'm telling the truth. Or I'm not some impostor. Because it wasn't me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Weirdos in robes and a stone altar," she said as she took the top from him. "They said something about sending a fake me out to bring people back here." She put the top on and turned so he could tie it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2013-01-31 11:04 pm UTC (link)
	He ties her top, quite grateful to be doing so. "Ok, so they somehow made a fake of me, and plan to make one of you. Not a good start." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Maria nodded. "I'm good at sneaky. Okay, so I know it's the real you, we need a code word." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Maria thought about it for a moment. She smiled and went up on her tiptoes to whisper in his ear. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
