In the flesh (closed to Azalea)

(OOC) Ed Blake is 36 yrs old with short brown hair and green eyes. He's 6'1" and weighs 180 lbs. He is single and works as a business analyst in the city. Tonight, he is attending a party hosted by Jeff, a co-worker. The guests are other co-workers and friends of Jeff, most of whom Ed doesn't know. Ed nurses a beer, munching Hoers D'Oeuvres, as he mingles.

From a distance, Ed spies Jeff chatting with a woman who looks vaguely familiar. Curious, Ed makes his way through the partygoer clusters toward Jeff and his companion. The closer Ed gets to the two of them, the more certain he is that he's seen this woman before. Ed stops in front of them, and takes the opportunity for a closer look at the deja vu woman. She is about his age, tall, with shoulder-length brown hair and a fetching laugh.


(IC) I waited politely while Jeff finished a dumb joke, and I was rewarded by again hearing his companion's sultry laugh. Then Jeff turned to me and grinned.

"Eddie, good to see you. Thanks for coming. Have you met Julianne?. Julianne, Ed. Ed, Julianne. J, Ed and I are cubicle mates. Eddie, Julianne and I worked together three jobs ago"

I quickly chewed and swallowed the last of a carrot stick, smiled, and offered Julianne my right hand to shake. She smiled, cocking her head slightly to the left, and returned my handshake. Dammit, she's so familiar. But where...?

"Pleased to meet you, Julianne." I was halfway through my opening line and I nearly gasped as I realized where I'd seen Julianne before. Calling herself 'Brandy,' she had posted perhaps 2 dozen photos of herself, in various stages of undress, on my favorite personal nude pic posting Website, putupyerpics.com. My breathing quickened, and my little friend stiffened, as I recalled high-resolution images of 'Brandy' posing for her Webcam. Wow!

OOC: Julianne Marshall, 34, 5'4", shoulder-length brown/auburn hair, hazel eyes. Julianne is a free lance photographer/writer with an interesting hobby......she loves putting up nude pics of herself on the net. She has just broken up with a long-time lover and is looking for some comfort.

IC:
I hardly heard what Jeff was saying as he introduced me to Ed Blake. Shaking his hand - a nice, firm shake - , I found myself gazing into the most remarkable green eyes I had ever seen. I felt in a daze as I tried to make "small talk" with the two of them.
I managed to get that the two of them shared a cubicle at work, and that Ed was single.
Then, someone called Jeff's name and he excused himself, saying, "You two can manage without me, can't you?"
I couldn't believe my luck....left by myself with the most handsome man at this little soiree.

"Ed, shall we get another drink?" I asked, stalling a little to gather my thoughts. What could I talk about that would capture his attention, keep his interest?

He stopped a waiter with a tray full of drinks and got one for each of us. Then he took my arm and asked, "Would you like to drink these out on that lovely terrace? the sky is so clear tonight, thought we might see that meteor shower the news has been talking about."

"Oh, are you a sky-watcher, too, Ed?" I asked, hopefullly. I myself loved to look atb the stars....in fact, I owned mounted telescope though which i sepnt hours every week locating planets and satellites.
