An Offer they Can't Refuse

[Knight Errant]

Steve stares a bit more at the remarkably... girly... bathroom. "This has to be some kind of a joke... one of these mob guys has one weird sense of humor..." He mutters to himself... but a bathroom was a bathroom. And the tub did look nice, even if the only soaps in it looked like they belonged in the mansion of some wealthy supermodel. Frowning a bit at the lack of shower... he nods. "Right... that's what she meant..." He says with a bit of a shrug, as he goes forward, closing the door behind him and locking it as he strips the last of his clothes... turning on the water in the tub.

=================================================================

Will indeed felt quite relaxed, the warm water jetting against his skin, combined with the faint aroma of all the fragrant perfumes making him feel like he was in a hot tub in the middle of a flower shop. As he begins washing with the bright blue body wash he finds it tingling strongly against his skin. The label on the bottle is 'Deep Skin Cleanser'. Apparently its meant less for pleasing aroma and more for strong, thorough cleaning. But the tingling feels good against his skin...

[muffinstud]

Will looked over the bottle of the blue stuff again and shrugged. "Guess this stuff is all right." He did his best to scrub himself down, enjoying the relaxation the warm water, jets, and tingling bodywash could afford him.

====================================================================

The tub filled surprisingly quickly, and next to the spout were bottles of epsom salts and other bath additives. There were even a few kinds of bubble bath. The warm water swirled around in the tub as the jets pushed it around. He could put up with the girly look of it all if he had is own persona jacuzzi, couldn't he?

[Knight Errant]

Indeed Steve could! Girly or not, it looked quite nice. Looking beside the spout... he thinks a bit... He never really had a bath with additives in it! Besides bubble bath when he was a kid... He looks over a couple bottles of salts and such, picking a couple that looked nice and adding them to the water before jumping in to soak! And look at the various body washes to try and choose one...

======================================================================

Meanwhile, Will feels... extremely relaxed! As he scrubs himself down and rinses, he finds his skin still tingling slightly... smelling nice and clean... and feeling remarkably soft!

[muffinstud]

Will had to admit to himself. That blue stuff sure did the trick. He sighed and leaned back into the tub to soak a little longer, and more thoroughly. He idly splashed the water as he looked at the different kinds of shampoo. Perhaps there was one that matched the blue stuff?

===================================================================

The salts mingled and frothed in the water, turning it somewhat opaque. The green tint matched the salty sweet smell, reminiscent of a gentle ocean breeze. The jets massaged Steve under the water while the salts eased the tension from his muscles. As for the body washes, Steve found the same blue deep cleanser, along with an apricot scrub, something that smelled like pears, and a clear gel that stated it would restore pH balance in any skin.

[Knight Errant]

Steve relaxed in the nice water for awhile... after all the tension from before, it was nice to be able to relax... Finally he picks up the pear smelling bottle, getting some out and going to wash up!

============================================================

Will soaks and splashes~ Looking at his choices of shampoo! There was a white one that smelled of flowers, another that was a nice pink and smelled of fresh strawberries, and a third blue one that smelled faintly of the sea and labeled "Deep Scalp Cleanser."

[muffinstud]

Will smirked as he picked up the blue bottle of shampoo. Why not? If he was doing a deep cleaning, he might as well go all the way. He ducked under the water, getting his face and hair wet. He wiped the water off his face, then kneaded some of the blue shampoo into his hair. It didn't take much, as his hair was so short and all.

=================================================================

The pear bodywash smelled refreshing and invigorating, and the scent mixed well with the salts in the water. As he scrubbed down, the wash seemed to melt away into the water and into his skin. Instead of most washes with that kind of consistency, it didn't leave a film or feel greasy. Instead, it left his skin feeling smooth and soft and clean.

[Knight Errant]

Steve gets clean! Smiling a bit at the cocktail of nice smells and feeling his smooth clean skin. He stretches a bit, sighing before turning to look through the shampoos!

================================================================================

Meanwhile, soon Will has that same pleasant tingly sensation working its way into his scalp! The shampoo soon worked into a blue lather covering all of his hair. Like the bodywash it felt... nice! Not to mention the ocean salt smell was quite pleasant.

[muffinstud]

Will closed his eyes and just enjoyed the clean feeling, along with the tingling on his scalp. Once he'd gotten sufficient scrubbing, he ducked back under the water and rinsed it all out. He wiped his face off again and breathed in the pleasing, clean scent. "This is the life!"

====================================================================

Steve's shampoo choices all seem to have even more fragrance to them. One pink one smelled of strawberries, a clear one smelled like it had just rained, and another green one smelled like flowers and had aloe in it.

[Knight Errant]

Steve looks between his choices for awhile...eventually picking the clear shampoo. He ducks his head under the faucet, letting the water wash over it... before getting out some of the shampoo and working it into his hair!

======================================================================

Will rinses his hair! As he emerges from the water with all the suds off, someone watching might mention that his hair color looked slightly lighter than before... and as the tingle continues in his scalp, his hair slowly grows a bit longer.

[muffinstud]

Pity Will wasn't watching. He soaked in the tub, enjoying the lingering tingle in his scalp. Out of curiosity, he looked at the labels on the other bottles at the tub. He had always prided himself on being somewhat low maintenance, and it intrigued him to see all the other things people used, as he never really used much more than soap and generic shampoo.

============================================================================

Steve immediately felt a refreshing tingle go through his scalp as he applied the shampoo. The scent mingled perfectly with the salty water and the pear in his skin. The way the smells blended together was quite pleasant and relaxing. As he ran his hands through the foamy shampoo, the froth thickened up a bit and tingled a little more strongly.

[Knight Errant]

Steve smiles at all the pleasant sensations! This was all quite nice... As he feels the tingles grow stronger, he hrrms... running his hands through his hair even more to work it into a thick lather!

==================================================

Meanwhile, Will soaks and reads! There are all kinds of things... from specialized skincare products to designer conditioners... all sporting one or another trait of cleaning or skin or hair care. Of course some seem to be just for beauty care... bath oils said to give 'glowing skin' conditioners said to do everything from making shiny silky hair to full bodied style... whatever that meant.

[muffinstud]

Will turned his nose up at all the obvious beauty products, then paused at one of the conditioners. He'd used 2 in 1 before, and it did leave his hair looking nice. He figured why not, he was on vacation, right? He grabbed a conditioner meant to increase volume and shine. Perhaps it would help his short hair look a little fuller, and make him look a little younger. What could it hurt? He dabbed the product into his hair and rubbed it in.

=================================================================

And it got quite thick! The tingling continued on as little drops of light blue foam dripped before Steve's eyes. He could feel it running down the back of his neck too, tingling as it clung to his skin. The drops of foam that hit the water floated on top; it was thick enough to resemble a light blue whipped cream!

[Knight Errant]

Steve leans back a bit... letting the lather sit on his head for a few moments, enjoying the tingles... before he finally ducks below the surface of the water to wash it out of his hair!

=====================================================================

Meanwhile... Will grabs the bottle of green conditioner! It smells of fresh fruit... the predominant smell being... kiwi fruit? As he works it into his hair. It dosent have a tingling effect on his scalp, but the foam it works into is velvety soft, soon filling the room with its fresh scent as it no doubt works on his hair... The bottle says to let it set in for the best effect!

[muffinstud]

While he wasn't particularly fond of the general smell of fruit, Will did enjoy kiwi. Besides, he could always wash the smell out with more of the shampoo, if need be. After it got into that velvet lather he let it sit as he closed his eyes.

=====================================================================

After rinsing it off, the tingles from the shampoo slowly faded away. If he'd been able to look at his head from another angle, Steve would have seen it a little thicker, a little longer, and a little lighter in hue. Some of the hair even reached the back of his neck, where the foam had dropped. The water was slowly dissolving the blue foam, sending slight tingles into Steve's skin.

[Knight Errant]

Steve sighs as he feels the tingles slowly fade away... even as he feels slight tingles over the rest of his skin. He didn't quite want to get out yet... it felt too nice... so instead he looks for something else to do... He finds himself looking over the bottles of conditioners...

=============================================================

Will closes his eyes! The jets against his skin felt so good... as well as the residual tingles from the body wash and the shampoo... he could almost fall asleep if he let himself... surrounded by pleasant smells and feelings.
