#Or sending him something similar yet entirely different and go 'I promised you I'd send you this!' and just keep asking to see more of him?

[joosts-girl]

What kinda spicy pics would you send? 👀👀👀 and what ones do you think you’d get in return? 👀👀👀

AHHHHHHHH! 🙈🙈🙈 Anon why are you making me these questions I AM BLUSHING omg

(Hold up let me put this under the cut bc I might get a little bit TMI even for most people ngl)

What kinda spicy pics would I send him... Hm 😳 Honestly I've always been more a fan of the more teasing pictures ig? I really like my boobs ngl, so I would send him some cleavage pictures, either wearing a cute bra or just, covering them with my hands/arms. I also like my thighs quite a lot, so a lot of that too. I like to think he'd enjoy them but that's just me being hella self-indulgent akskskska- Also laying on my bed, posing like a pin-up girl, just trying to look cute for him in general ✨

As for what I would like to receive 👀 I've said this countless times here already, but I'm REALLY biased towards his stomach (and that happy trail ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥), sooooo... heh heh heh. He can lower his pants just a little for me, or give me a peek of what is he hiding underneath them. Or the full frontal view, I am not against receiving dick pics from him AT ALL 😩💦

Also just, lewd expressions in general, because he vibes as being such a show-off even for naughty images. I could honestly see him sticking out his tongue or biting his bottom lip for him or doing anything along those lines and I'd be. A happy camper. Really 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Honestly he could be sending me anything he wants and I'll just keep those pictures like they're sacred LOL. But if I could make him a single request, I wanna see him a picture of him laying naked on his bed, with a full-on bed head and the bedsheets barely covering his private parts 🙈 Maybe with a little bit of morning wood too 😳👉🏻👈🏻

[awellboiledicicle]

I also keep imagining the like. Family traditions on top of cultural traditions influencing what gifts they give their partner.

Like the more rural people are very focused on the whole "providing evidence that I can help provide for us and shelter us" thing. People from the big cities are probably more about flaunting their wealth and status that could be yours.

So Nai'o and Kenyatta, for example would have approached courting from wildly different levels and Nai'o just has a bunch of nice things in his room that he swears Auni to secrecy about. Kenyatta has obtained more veggies than Nai'o should probably have given away. Eshe knows and is mortified. Kenli thinks its sweet.

Jel probably has seven layers of "if I don't give gifts that reflect my family I'm not worthy of bringing someone into it". Likewise he's well aware a lot of practical skills outside crafting garments are beyond him.

Hassain has a calander once he processes that he's feeling these things again. And that the feelings might be returned. Theres furs, theres dried fish and fresh forage. Theres bags of seeds and whittled combs and a good skinning knife. He even buckles down and forges a cooking knife for them. He goes through ten versions before he's happy with it. Each gift is given at different times of day, on specific days, leading up to Courting Season proper. This is complicated if he's courting a human, because dragon knows where they're at most the time. But every gift the other person accepts makes him anxious they won't take the next entirely because he's dangerously happy they took the previous.

Tish has been working on a intricately carved bedroom set for the last 5 years. In preparation for whenever/if ever she wants to be with someone. There are fancy inlays on the wardrobe and scrollwork on the headboard. He bedside table has a depressed notch sized for a lantern so you dont knock it over when reading by candle light. Theres a chest of drawers with secret compartments for jewlery.

Hodari would be a year behind when he realizes he wants this. Because he'd have to emotionally process his feelings about his late wife and make sure his daughter was okay with a new addition vs someone just keeping him company. But then its robustly practical gifts. Ore and tools and the odd gemstone that he thinks they'll like. Its not a glamorous life he can offer but it could be a happy one.

Reth has about five panic attacks about it. Because getting involved with him is already a dicey proposition, let alone being serious enough to start Courting officially over it. Sure he can flirt and have flings, but that's not settling down levels. That's not "I'm trying myself to you forever" level. Not to mention traditionally he should be making them things. Furniture and utensils and decorations for a home he's promising them. And he's well aware hes shit at traditional things. Hes also deeply convinced he cant just give food because he already gives them food. But he cant afford to buy other gifts and short of begging Tish for help he can't make something... what ends up happening is he shows up with flowers and asks if that can be enough, if you'll take him.

Jina is mortified. Not because she doesn't want a relationship-- she does, very badly by the time she considers Courting Season at all--but because she's on a research expedition. She literally has nothing on her to give. This stress ends up resulting in Hekla sending dozens of humans on scavenger hunts to get her things. Because Hekla doesnt lime Jina stressed. Jina is promptly scandalized to hell and back.

I imagine poly situations are similar to an extent-- the goal is to at least befriend/get along with the other partner(s) of your initial interest. A fully fluid polycule situation vs a hinge is preferred for social cohesion but it's up to the situation.

The pins are essentially "we're committed and care for one another". Going steady v engagement, I'd imagine. I havent gotten to the pin talk in game yet so I'm spitballing.

Thoughts

Me: (taking a break at work)

My brain: What if the majiri have mating seasons. It's just another cycle thing about them.

Me: why

My brain: imagine the weeks beforehand are customarily for courting and anything outside of that is considered just kinda flirting. But if someone gives you stuff in that time it's basically saying "I very much want to be serious about this". And the actual season is mostly understood to be for weddings, spending time together, and trying to have kids if you want them.

Me: I have been zoned out for five mins pls I have paperwork

My brain: I imagine Hassain would have like five layers of traditional gifts to give. Hesitantly, because being serious is scary after... well. Reth meanwhile is pretty sure giving food wont cut it, because he always gives food. He's begging Jel and Tish to help him. Jel meanwhile is convinced that if he doesnt make a good enough house outfit his prospective partner will leave in disgust. Tish has spent three months on a bedroom set. There's carvings on all the wood. Hodari wouldn't want to admit to himself that he's been squirreling away an array of gemstones; he wants to give them to someone special but its Complicated.

Me: pls I need to scan

My brain: no, only fanfic plotting

[yuvon-writes-letters]

It seems many letters have to travel today. But that's fine.

Hey Yu, Jake :)

Huh, where to start...Ah I know! Yeah, I guess you're right. Reading and not taking part probably is like reading an amazing book and always waiting for a chapter or something. And that not everyone wants to be part of our freak-show (I mean, that's basically what it is) is completely understandable. I think my reaction was also a bit in the heat of the moment. But really, asking for waffels or pancakes?

But putting that aside; the letters, papers or whatever..How is the deciffering going? Anything till now?

And I really hope that both of you are not in any kind of great danger (as far as we can say this with your situation)

Pocket Dimension of a reality warper.. [the writing becomes a little shaky here] hm yeah, that sounds logical.

And sorry, I just cannot write while laughing. This whole thing reminds me a *little bit* of a character from my favourite show. (If you both know Supernatural) But yah.

Also no, you two were right, my Jake didn't answer when I wrote the other letters. (And no, I didn't flirt with him. At least I don't think so)

But I know now why he didn't respond at first.

I did send Nymos this message you told me, Jake, and after some time it returned 'true'. Like you said. That was honestly pretty relieving.

And that also made Jake (I am writing him with a different pen now, it's easier) text me back.

It seems I really went totally wrong over the situation, but I wasn't really thinking right when I was back in my flat.

I guess I couldn't have worried him more. When he called me the night I returned (you know, after he saw the picture the MWAF sent me and he texted me my golden friends' message and I didn't reply) he got access to my camera. It seems in my shock I didn't realise.

Yu, I texted you how I looked like, right? I mean, basically like hell. And, who would've thought, as if I'd been kidnapped.

And like this I told him he shouldn't worry. Yeah, not my greatest moment.

It also was kind of dark so it could have been that I wasn't alone (at least from Jakes perspective). Oh, and did I tell you that my shirt was torn where the bullet originally hit me? So he saw the raven scar...I didn't realise that till now either.

Long story short: I worried him sick.

Cause when I texted Jake this morning he couldn't be sure it was me. Or me alone. And he didn't want to bring me in any more danger. So he started doing Jake-stuff and accessing goldies profile.

But that didn't work out as planned. I mean, sure, it's the profile of an entity...So I guess it makes sense.

And then I texted Nymos.

He's just reading the last letters (I think). We didn't talk about the 'erased-kidnapping-thing' yet. But he promised me that he'd find a way so we could safely call... :)

Thank you Jake, I guess without you Jake would still think I was kidnapped [the 😅 emoji is drawn there]

Lis🐾🔥

Ps; I almost forgot: Jake say thanks, too xD

Lis,

I’ll ask Jake how the deciphering is going in a bit. I’m going to pretend I don’t notice him stealing glances at me for a little longer first XD

Though I don’t think he’s doing it for the normal reasons people steal glances. He’s sort of hypervigilant, I’ve noticed. Which makes sense. I just can’t tell if he’s worried I could be a threat or if he’s looking out for me. I’d understand if he sees me as a possible threat, this IS the first time we’re really meeting after all. Doesn’t make me feel great, but honestly given how he got here, I COULD be a serious inadvertent threat. I don’t blame him at all.

I don’t think I’m in danger? No danger I don’t put myself in, at least. Where’s this coming from all of a sudden?

Jake told you the demiplane theory, I’m guessing. Yeah, it does seem logical. Also, I have watched Supernatural before, but it was a long time ago and I never watched the whole thing, because I got obsessed with something else and forgot all about it XD   I think I made it up to the beginning of the leviathan arc or so, I don’t remember what season that was though.

Oh, wow, we completely misunderstood the situation with Jake didn’t we? XD

I’m glad it got cleared up, at least, and that you two are talking again. I wonder if it confused him at first that you knew to send that code to Nymos. Though obviously he probably gets it now. ...I also wonder just how many features Jake actually put in Nymos. Every time I deal with the bot another feature seems to pop up.

You’re welcome, Lis’s Jake :)

Alright, I’m gonna get my Jake now. Talk to you later! Or write to you later. Something. Bye.

(The handwriting changes to Jake’s.) Hallo, Lis.

What is this about waffles and pancakes? Please excuse me for a moment while I ask Yuvon.

I am not commenting on this matter.

As for the deciphering: I have made no progress thus far. It is quite vexing. Yuvon has taken to searching the “Death Room” from top to bottom, hoping to find something of interest or that could help the matter, though she has agreed to leave the actual deciphering to myself.

It is impossible to tell the exact depth of the danger we are in, as I suspect that may vary by the whims of whatever pulled Yuvon here in the first place. I do not know what “Supernatural” is. I’m afraid I will need to bother Yuvon again. At this rate, I am somewhat afraid she will grow frustrated with me.

It does sound like a fairly interesting show. Perhaps, once we are out of this place, I will be able to watch it. Perhaps even with Yuvon.

Oh. That does make quite a bit of sense, actually. I feel quite a bit of pity for my counterpart, now. If I had seen Yuvon in a similar state, I believe I would have likely reacted much the same way. I am glad I recalled that function; I would prefer not to have my counterpart suffer undue stress.

It is a shame my counterpart could not find anything helpful in the golden profile, but I suppose it is to be expected. These entities seem to find enjoyment in completely bypassing the laws of logic, physics, and reality itself where they are inconvenient.

You are welcome, Lis and Jake :)

I am glad I was able to help you both.

It is troubling that Yuvon believes I see her as a threat, however. It is quite the opposite. I am not entirely sure how to proceed, or indeed to even begin tackling that issue, but clearly this needs to be worked out quickly.

Though, I worry that this may be merely the least of Yuvon’s troubles. She is not precisely the most open person in the world, especially when it comes to her own issues. It was quite difficult to make her speak about Richy’s uncertain fate.

As for NYM-0S’s features: I suppose you will have to wait and see ;)

I should likely return to attempting to decipher this nonsense. Goodbye for now,

Jake & Yuvon

(The letter tucks itself into the paper clip with the others.)
