[Riley’s giggling can be heard even if her face can’t be seen. It seems she’s currently sneaking through Needle in a Haystack to where there are a bunch of voices. With a snort, the giggling stops as she aims the view around the corner to show…

A bunch of shirtless Assassins in various stages of irritation over the fact. It’s so funny to her that she has to share this with the world.]

[Altaïr’s arms are crossed over his chest (not that that does anything to hide it) and irritation is written all over his face.]


They just disappear? Nothing will stay on any of us?

[An Italian accent chimes in, and Ezio turns his head towards the group, back to the camera, and actually trying not to smile. Okay, so in between all of this war, it’s funny to him, despite the irritation he may feel.]

I have only tried once- and as much as I wish to see if it would work, I am not certain I wish to sacrifice more of my clothes if Asgard demands we remain this way.

[A second equally Italian accent chimes in, far less entertained sounding.]

Is this a regular occurrence in this city then? People’s decency revoked for… amusement?

Come now, padre, you make it sound as if we are treated like barbarians.
[Ezio can’t really hide the smile he’s wearing. Oops.] I do not mind the attention so much.

Your madre will have me up by my thumbs for parading about in public!

So will my wife. [Altaïr hesitates, as if he’s not really sure.] Most likely.

[ In the midst of the Assassins' kerfuffle, Desmond hurries in from the summer heat, equally shirtless and equally vexed. ]

Does anyone have a spare- oh.

[ If he wasn't bewildered before... ] Really?

[ It seems like Natasha is always last to know these things - but it was really inconvenient, to be honest. She’d been at work at the bar when her shirt had suddenly decided to take a vacation to god-knows-where. Now she’s come to join the cavalcade, hands propped on her hips once she spots the predicament of everyone else. Her bra has decided to stick around for the party, at least so far. ]

I liked that shirt. And I liked the rest of you with shirts, no matter how .. interesting .. the view. [ She sighs slightly, not ashamed of being sans-shirt but definitely very far from pleased. What’s next? Their pants? ]

[Connor wanders by Riley’s hiding spot about that point, utterly unruffled by his current state. He pauses briefly and glances in her direction.] Good morning, Riley. [And moves on with his day. These boxes won’t unload themselves!]

[Immediately everything falls silent as everyone but Connor turns to look at the Novice Assassin with looks that say she had better run.]

You should be impressed I was here this long without you noticing? She does look better than all of the rest of you though.

[That doesn't help the problem and she bursts out laughing as the angle changes to show Riley laughing her ass off as she runs as fast as she can because she is in SO MUCH TROUBLE.]

FUCKING WORTH IT!

[ooc: Welcome to the shirtless curse brought to you by Altaïr, Giovanni, Ezio, Desmond, Natasha, and Connor. It's an Assassin shirtless party! Well, most of the Assassins. Riley, for example, did not get hit and made the most of it.

Network responses very welcome but there will be an open thread for people to visit Needle in a Haystack if they want to see all the shirtless Assassins in person! Enjoy!]

[Alastair walks into the back, looking for everyone, because seriously, WHERE IS EVERYONE.]

Do I have to run the shop by myself? Where is every...

[Oh.

Well that certainly is a bunch of very attractive people without their shirts on.

Alastair stands and stares for a minute, himself still wearing a shirt.]


...I see.

[Give him a moment, he just needs to deal with the fact that there is a sudden overabundance of shirtless people on the network. Also, that one of his former targets is currently shirtless and also hot.

He is very sorry about the bullet wounds, Natasha, by the way.]


what just happened [Also, thanks for the free show, but he sure as hell isn't typing that.]

( did you say hot? she thinks you said hot. too bad you didn't say that out loud. )

( oh, good. it just keeps getting better, doesn't it? glancing at him, she looks away before doing a double take. )

.. Why do you get to keep your shirt?

( life is patently unfair. )
secondborn: (with every start)

[personal profile] secondborn 2014-07-30 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
[He turns and smiles.]

I was about go to find you, actually, so I'm glad you volunteered. Since the others are... [He searches for a delicate term to use, and pretty much fails.] ...lacking shirts, it's up to us to keep the public end of things running smoothly.

So! Do you prefer making deliveries or helping customers in the shop?

secondborn: (stars hide your fires)

[personal profile] secondborn 2014-07-30 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
[He raises his hands innocently.]

I have no idea. Clearly I've missed something.
snowstormed: (★ and you caused it; and)

[He likes you already kiddo. And because he likes you he'll switch over to private and try to help you out.]

need a place to hide?

[Ezio promptly turns to Alastair and has to chuckle at the conundrum.]

Do you now? [He gestures widely, indicating that all of them can't seem to keep their tops on without it disappearing right after.]

Work is going to be a bit difficult if we are stuck like this.
secondborn: (and so i'll be found)

[personal profile] secondborn 2014-07-30 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
[He looks around a moment to make sure none of the others are listening.]

Just between you and me, it's very funny. But we have to be considerate of them. After all, it could just have easily included us.
snowstormed: (❄ they are dead and they are gone)

private text; no nat don't kill her he likes her

[personal profile] snowstormed 2014-07-30 02:23 am (UTC)(link)
heard of them and saw them in passing a few times, never thought of it before

[But damn now he is never going to get this curse off his mind.]
pushesgently: (> swagger off)

Probably after the surprise has faded

[personal profile] pushesgently 2014-07-30 02:24 am (UTC)(link)
[Altaïr doesn't exactly mind being shirtless, but he minds being cursed. And the stares are unnerving for an Assassin, though thankfully not everyone is doing that. But still.]

This is not funny.

[HE KNOWS YOU THINK IT IS.]

it could be worse

... it could be a lot better


( at least they weren't all children )

how long are you going to gawk?
secondborn: (with which to take this soul)

[personal profile] secondborn 2014-07-30 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
[Alastair's eyebrows raise.]

Stuck like this? Really.

[He sighs deeply.]

Well that makes things tricky.
secondborn: (these here are my desires)

[personal profile] secondborn 2014-07-30 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh, Altaïr, it is very funny, but Alastair has the decency not to laugh. He smiles gently.]

No, of course it isn't.

Next time, tell me where to go so I can miss it, too.

( she's just thinking about the logistics of all this. how is she going to work? aren't they going to get cold? )

I had hoped due to the actual war going on, this sort of thing would go away.
secondborn: (within the fragile substance)

[personal profile] secondborn 2014-07-30 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
[Alastair rolls his eyes and laughs.]

Probably. Still, not all of them are comfortable with this, so don't laugh. At least, not while they're in earshot, okay? And definitely no more secret network videos.

[personal profile] pushesgently 2014-07-30 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
[Sigh. At least he's subtle about his amusement. Altaïr supposes he's pleased with that.]

It is also unfair that you were not affected.
