Not Pink Enough (OTA)

[st_ellargoddess]

She liked the pink of the hotel a lot. If she had to guess, she'd say that whoever built the place kept her aesthetics in mind. Still, there were some places were pink was lacking and on a hot day like today, the pool was one of those places. Clad in her bikini, she was lounging on a pink shell floaty with sunglasses on and an umbrella drink in her hand. She casually touched the water and the water instantly turned pink like she had dumped a bunch of pink food colouring into the water.

Aphrodite let out a relaxing sigh. "Much better!" Smiling, she sipped her drink.

Rocket could go either way on the pool, usually. Being cool and wet on a hot day was nice and so was the prospect of being an asshole by clogging something with fur, but he sometimes worried about shorting an implant and the chemicals got up his nose. So it was a trade off.

He could definitely leave it when it was pink, though, no matter how hot the day was. “People’re gonna think this is acid or some shit, ya know.”

She made a dismissive hand gesture toward the talking raccoon. "Isn't acid some ugly colour like green or yellow?"

“Only the weak, boring shit.” Rocket crouched and sniffed the water: it smelled like the same chemical mess as always. “The good stuff ends up pink ‘cause’a the dissolved corpses.”

"Ew." She scrunched her nose. That was something Ares would be into and definitely not her. "I'd rather turn the water into something fun, like a nice rosé or a cosmo. Dissolving bodies is so not my scene."

“Yeah, you’re more into pickling.” Rocket laughed a little and shook his head, but actually the idea of an entire pool of booze, even if it was almost more fruit than booze, sounded pretty cool. “That what you did here, or is it just color?”

[st_ellargoddess]

"It could be." She winked at him, then with a casual snap of her fingers, the water shifted just a little and a more fruity sent appear. She looked around and felt something was missing, though, and she wiggled her fingers at the edge of the pool and a big umbrella not like the one you have in drinks appeared. Then a glass appeared beside Rocket. "There. Tell me how it tastes."

[st_ripetail]

Rocket’s ears pricked forward, interested, then he dipped the glass in the water. He only spared a brief moment to consider before pouring the liquid down his throat. “Not usually my style’a drink, but I’m good with bein’ enabled.”

"Oh, I am great at enabling." She wiggled her eyebrows at him. "You going to tell a girl your name, or leave her guessing?"
