[ Naked wrestling? Kate laughs. And then stops, head cocked. ]

You're not-- you're serious? You're serious. [ She laughs again and lifts a hand, shaking her head. ] I am not wrestling you naked in the gym.

Why not? No one lives on this floor.

[She swings her axe off of her shoulder, to carry it at her side instead.]

Like, actually no one. I never see anyone. If that's what you're worried about. And it's not like I haven't seen you naked already. Now we're just adding wrestling to it.

[ That doesn't actually make Kate feel any better about being here, but it's not really the issue at hand, either. She rolls her eyes. ]

It just sounds like a lot of really awkward bruises and chafing I don't need in my life. If we're going to be rolling around naked why bother with the wrestling?

[She sighs.]

Because it's so much fun, Kate. You've never tried it, have you?

[They've reached the gym by now, and Johanna opens the door, smoothly, and keeps on leading the way, into the room.]

[ Kate's face says it all, the skeptical way she's eyeing Johanna. Seriously, all she's seeing is mat-burn. ]

No.

[Carelessly, she drops her axe on the floor with a heavy thud, and stretches her arms over her head with another sigh.]

You need to be more open-minded. If you've never tried it, you won't know if you like it or not. I promise, I'll make it worth your while.

[ Kate is so not sold on this, not even a little bit. It sounds awkward and possibly painful and she's not actually done being wary about being naked out in the open, wary of embarrassment but also of attack. But Johanna makes a pretty good point, and open-mindedness has been serving her well this week. Plus she'll make it worth her while?

Kate and covers her face and groans a muffled and not particularly sexy noise through her hands, and then drops them to begin stripping. ]

Fiiiiine. Fine. I'll try it. But you had better make it worth it.

[Ten points to District 7. Johanna swings her arms down and shakes them out, loosely, with a smile that's only pleased, not smug at all. (Hah.)]

We could oil up, if you're worried about chafing.

[ Kate has only gotten as far as toeing off her shoes and lifting the hem of her shirt up around her chin when that makes her stop and stare flatly at Johanna. ]

Yeah, that's definitely going to be a 'no'.

[She laughs again as she drops her arms to her side, with a heavy exhale.]

Come on. We're never going to have any fun this way. Hurry up, I didn't invite you here for you to have your shirt half-on and half-off--

[If Kate needs incentive, here it is, in the form of Johanna moving in to grab hold of the hem of her shirt, too, and tugging it upwards.]

[ Kate lets her, arms lifting. (Her bra is purple lace, too.) She fiddles with the button on her jeans but doesn't undo it herself. ]

Better? What if you wrestle naked and I just wrestle topless, how's that.

You think that's going to be more comfortable?

[Stupid suggestion. She pushes Kate's hands out of the way so she can undo the button herself, hook her thumbs into the belt loops and tug down, all very easy and matter-of-fact.]

You'll be falling out of that pretty bra of yours in two seconds. Or I'll snap the straps on you when you're trying to choke me.

If you rip this I really will strangle you. [ Kate means the bra, a hand even lifting protectively to a strap. But Johanna undressing her isn't hurting. She steps out of her jeans. ] I feel like this needs a soundtrack right now. Something really cheesy and porny, maybe.

Aww. You wore your best one? For me?

[Without pause, she kicks Kate's jeans aside and slips one hand up her bare back, fingers skimming up until they find the other bra strap, which she plucks at, almost gently. The slap it makes against Kate's shoulderblade is minuscule.]

You'll have to supply the music, if you want music. I don't have any, and I'm not here to sing.

[ Kate makes a face at her as she snaps that strap, however lightly. ] Second best.

[ Time to either back out or bite this bullet. She reaches to shove panties down herself, leaving the bra. ]

Let's see your unclasping skills.

Please.

[Come on, Katie, what do you think. She lets her hand slip down again, tracing along the line of Kate's back--and with one deft movement, undoes that clasp. With that same hand, she hooks her thumb back into the strap and tugs it down over Kate's shoulder, wearing a very self-satisfied smirk.]

Like I haven't done this before.

[ She thinks it's fun to poke at her and also that her hand was right there already! Efficiency. Kate slips it off and bends to gather up her clothes. She's not going to fold them, but they are going all together in a pile, at least. ]

Of course you have. Alright, let's get this completely ridiculous thing overwith.

[should've just showed up naked Kate]

Don't sound so excited.

[But really do sound excited, like Johanna--who immediately steps in and grabs for Kate's left arm, half turned toward her--right arm snaked around her back again, right hip pressed close--and still gripping at Kate's left arm, which she tugs on, sharply, pulls her in--either to heave her onto her back and over her shoulder, slam her down onto the mat--or else just start a weird sideways dance with her, whatever.]

[ No way, Johanna undressing her has been the best part of this.

If she can just forget about the nudity (at least her own) for a minute maybe she can get her head back in the game. So she's not about to get thrown over Johanna's shoulder, stepping into her body and moving to hook an ankle around hers and pull it out from beneath her. Normally Kate'd be doing some punching right now but she forgoes it, hands grappling at the hold Johanna has on her instead. ]

Edited (Less meta whining ) 2014-10-30 13:50 (UTC)

[The hook pulls her left foot off of the mat, but Johanna is quick to shift her weight, sink back into her right foot instead. It turns her, moves her hip out from where it was pressed to Kate--and she slips her arm out from behind her as well, claps both hands onto Kate's right arm to try and keep her hold on it.

And just because she's got a grip on some bare skin, she shifts both hands, sharply, twisting Kate's skin under her hands, moves it in two separate directions. This isn't an official wrestling move, but really, who cares.]

Ow! Jesus, you really are the worst. [ Kate's quick to retaliate for taking advantage of Johanna's hands being together and weight being off balance on one foot. She grabs her around her left thigh and lifts, then drops her onto the mat on her back, coming down on top. ]

[Johanna spares a breath for her laugh, but it cuts off quickly as she's slammed back against the mat. Kate's weight pins her; the pressure of the fall winds her--but she sputters another laugh, and does her best to twist up, to try and lock an arm around Kate's neck--]

You like it--

[Her, she means, and everything worst that comes with her. And bare skin against bare skin, come on, you've got to like that a little, too, Katie--]

I like this. [ Now Kate grins at her, and a little smirkily as she shifts, emphasizing all that skin involved. She lets her weight pin Johanna down and grabs for her wrists, trying to wrench them away from her throat and toward the mat instead. ]

[The biggest concession Johanna makes to that move, is that her breath skips, just a little--but that could be one last after-effects of being winded by the sudden weight of Kate. A second later and she's totally over it anyways; she gives Kate one wrist, but writhes the other one away, flops it over her head for a second, just to get it free of Kate--and then she grabs for her hair at the top of her head, trying to get a handful.]

[ Kate grabs for that second wrist when it's above Johanna's head (perfect, right where she wants it anyway) but misses and of course it's back to her hair. She slaps it away hard but doesn't try to corral it to prevent a second attempt, instead grabbing for Johanna's hair instead. She's never really gone for hair-pulling when they've fought before but she digs her hand in this time and gets a good grip, gives it a tug. ] Do you like that? You keep doing it to me, it makes me wonder if it's a hint.
