Well, I hardly know anyone but with all the social lubricant who can resist.

\*Pulls off wet swim suit, “Hey it’s chilly out here, haven’t you ever heard of shrinkage?” Slides into warm water. \*

Ooh, Sushi! Got any Eel roll. I’ll take a little of that Rumplemintz, maybe a trade for some Absolut fresh from the freezer?

Hey **Max Carnage** you are correct - well sorta anyway. I am English and I was living in Norway and now I am officially about 3 hours drive from anywhere in the middle of Wyoming.

On the way home last night I bought the Margherita mix, tequila and ice and all my stuff is arriving from Norway today so I will just go home and grab my suit and will be right there!!

I have a bathing suit, but I’m shy.

My, that’s a pretty big tub!

:ivylass slips under the bubbling water, and her bikini pops to the surface:

Is my towel nearby? Good. I’ll have some hot chocolate with Frangelico, please.

:leans her head back against the head rest and tries desperately not to float to the surface:

Hot tubs make me dizzy.

And it’s cold out here with no clothes on.

Who’s up for Crisco Twister back inside the house?

Wow I was gone for a little bit and the party really started happenin’.

Welcome everyone

There is dew and pepsi in the cooler by the grill for **Darkhold** and **fizzestothetop**.

Bottled water in the house in the fridge for **Seige**.  
Can I take that orange juice and put it away for you **Rabid\_Squirrel**?

Interesting to see we have some coke[sup]TM[/sup] drinkers here. **withaK** , **Kiros** and **Captain Blunty** I happen to have some on hand, just so you can mix your drinks.

**Wyatt** I hope you brought plenty of your own sarasparilla? I don’t have any, so if you run out you may have to drink something a little stronger.

**ems** , **Max Carnage** , **if6was9** , **cajela** can I get you something else to drink?

**verbenabeast** nice suit.

Vodka lime on ice for **Single Serving Friend**.

Watch out for **j\_sum 1** ’s wondering feet.

I am afraid to ask, but if that wasn’t your foot, what was it **ccwaterback**?  
Thanks for coming **Andros\_X**.

I am doin’ all right, how YOU doin’ **Mr. Excellent** , glad you could come.

Holding your drink was no problem **Horseflesh**. I’d like to see that cannonball again.

Rum-rita coming up for **RTFirefly** and a long island ice tea for **Isabelle**.

Let me help you with that zipper **Scuba\_Ben** , any thing else I can do for you?

Yummy sake brought to us by our friend **Fuji Kitakyusho** – thanks.

**Quazzz** and Floofy welcome.

Please tell me you sat directly above a jet **Giraffe**?

A big newbie welcome to **SixSwords**.

I think this party needs some music, what sounds good to everyone?

_performs a perfect cannonball then realizes hot tubs aren’t very deep_

Uh… could somebody reset my tailbone for me?

Oh, and have the cabana boy fetch me a Bombay Sapphire and tonic?

Ummm… this brings back awkward memories.

Sounds ::shudder:: bad **SanguineSpider**.

But you can relax here. I think it has been already mentioned that the normal laws of physics don’t work in this hot tub – space is warped so that everyone can fit in. It’s very comfortable.

> a neat space warping effect that everyone is within easy conversation distance.

Interestingly it does strange things to feet and vision. **ccwaterback** will tell you the topology of it all. Feet somehow get translocated (at least that’s my excuse) and certain body parts are invisible for people we don’t know well.

What are you drinking?  
Does someone want to crank up those sounds a little? I can hardly hear it.

Ah, thanks **misstee**.

Now I’ll just peel off the 'skin… gently, so I don’t make big waves and upset everybody’s drinks.

There. :: wads up the 'skin, and casually tosses it out of the tub ::

WOOOOO HOOOOO, Its really going now, eh?

You need a drink **Eman\_Ramos**?

**ivylass** what a cute bikini top.

Is this naked crisco Twister, **auntie em**?

Which do you prefer **Nurse Carmen** , Bud heavy or MGD?

Got the music on, courtsey of **verbenabeast** , thanks for bringing your cd’s.

**Shade** did all these naked people affect your ability to type?

How is your butt feeling **dutchboy208** , do you need someone to rub it for you?

Much better than your last hot tub party isn’t it **SanguineSpider**?

There is a seat over by **fizzestothetops** just for you **iampunha**.
