⋮ ➊ Crystal Braves: Though disbanded and tarnished, the Crystal Braves were Florence's first semblance of structure and family outside of her blood. Perhaps you served alongside her, or maybe you have a bounty for her head for her betrayal. Regardless, Florence does not shy away from her past and will not stand for the erasure of her conquests - nor the sacrifices made along the way.

- Florence served time for her crimes against Eorzea and earned her freedom in exchange for her plea against fellow Braves. While there is no official bounty against her, she's sure to have ruffled a few feathers and gained an enemy or two.

⋮ ➋ Sell-Sword: Florence is a hired sell-sword for an Ala Mhigan textile merchant. Her endeavors currently have her traveling to the distant shores of Thavnair and most recently the New World. She often partakes in local hunts and fetes and can be seen lurking around taverns and inns once the sun sets.

- Have a mark or target you need captured or eliminated? Florence is a perfect hire: discreet, effective, and ruthless.

⋮ ➌ Black Market: Struggling to cope, Florence has developed a nasty taste for all things indulgent. Should your contacts hear of a woman in search to quench her vices, Florence is sure to be near.

- There is no price too high or steep for Florence, and she's willing to stoop to the lowest of levels to sate her addictions.

【 ❛ OOC Information  ⋯⋯ ⋯

⋮ ➊ Feel free to shoot me a PM here, on Discord ( scifidblftr ), or IG ( Florence Corlieux@Balmung ).

⋮ ➋ I primarily RP over Discord but am open to events and IG plots.

⋮ ➌ I am looking for connections, partners, and an IC FC. Even if you don’t RP, I’m always open to chat!

I am fine with: romance, angst, action, horror, slice of life, adventure, and much more. I am not fine with: noncon, plotless smut, and controversial kinks.

Please keep in mind that Florence is a good person who has done evil things for the sake of freedom. Everything she's done, she's viewed as just or for the greater good. Most of her negative qualities and choices can be attributed to her drug and alcohol addictions even if they do not absolve her of her crimes.

6. For Jigen, ofc

nsfw promps that don't sound like a bad porno. 6. for sex in the car

"See anything yet?"

Kent lowered the binoculars and turned to shoot Jigen an incredulous look, his mouth wrinkled between a smile and a grimace. One of his hands uncurled from around one of the barrels to accept the warm cup of coffee being handed to him before he huffed "Not since the last time you asked. Which was..." he turned his right wrist over and glanced at his watch face "...give or take thirty minutes ago."

Deep in a thicket of California redwoods sat parked their government-issue '73 Ford Pinto. The sun was beginning to coast low toward the horizon; all manner of buzzing insect were beginning their clicking, chirping, and buzzing, underscoring the sleepy chorus of song birds in the canopy; a gentle breeze rolled through the grasses and fledgling saplings. It was shaping up to be a beautiful, cool summer evening... And Kent was grateful that they had spent most of the scorching day sat in the chilled interior of their car, driving around in search of a creature that was most certainly not there. Something called the Mountain Devil or other.

Kent had a tendency to put in at least one day's worth of real, genuine effort into their first day out in the field, regardless of his personal convictions. Sometimes they'd find a shred of evidence to build a solid case around-- most times they could turn up nothing, and spent as long as they could dragging their feet to justify a vacation.

It seemed Jigen was eager for the latter to transpire... In his boredom he'd made the trek down the road for the very coffee he'd just been handed. Kent smiled around the lid of his drink as he took a sip.

"I'm willing to call it a day in about the same amount of time. Thirty minutes to six," the agent hummed. Jigen's eyes were still under the cover of his fedora and bangs, but Kent knew him well enough at this point he could imagine them rolling with startling accuracy. Jigen huffed before speaking; the sign they'd made one whole revolution.

"Come on, Kent. We're not going to see anything out here." The gunman's fingers rooted around the car ashtray with practiced dexterity searching for a butt worth chewing on. Kent watched him, eyes following the journey of his hand to his lips, then descending lower and lower and lower...

"The math would agree with you," Kent admitted. "But the odds are still not zero."

Jigen snorted and barked "They never are! Kent--"

"Jigen, come now, you know--"

"Kent--"

Kent slotted his cup of coffee into the car's cupholder before tossing the binoculars aside and turning to stare Jigen down. The move-- as it was all one smooth, swift move --startled Jigen and he sat up straight under Kent's narrowing, keen gaze. The agent tapped an index finger against his pursed little smile before huffing, "I see what's going on."

Jigen puffed out a truncated little laugh, muttering out of the corner of his mouth, "Nothing's going on, nothin'-- I just wanna fool around. Does it need to be any more complicated than that?" In silence Kent simply examined Jigen further, his gaze raking over his body over and over. Under his unwavering attention the gunman began to squirm in his seat, the leather groaning under him. That only served to confirm Kent's suspicions.

"I've been spoiling you." The agent's voice dropped into a low rumble, years of tobacco smoking gifting every word an edge. Under the shadow of his hat brim, a bright pink had begun to light up Jigen's face. Kent chuckled and reached a hand out to close the distance between them. Delicate pale fingers curled around his jet black tie and pulled Jigen closer. So close that the distance between them was now negligible. Kent couldn't breathe without the smell of Marlboros, black coffee, expensive cologne, and musk filling his nostrils.

"Haven't I told you how seriously I take our work?" Jigen didn't move for a second; Kent repeated the question and it was that second time he nodded. Kent grinned. "Good! So you know better to distract me, yes?" Another nod. Kent curled Jigen's tie around his hand... While the other dove between Jigen's legs, stroking him through his slacks.

Jigen puffed and whined, stammering out "K-Kent--!" before a weak moan. His hirsute hands grabbed the gear shift like talons on a bird of prey. "Oh, God, th-that feels so good..."

Kent clicked his tongue. "Spoiled. Do you even touch yourself anymore? Or are you such a brat you need another man to do it for you?" The questions were posed without any desire for an answer; he squeezed Jigen, wringing a desperate moan out of him instead of a response.

"All you think about when we step inside this car is sex," Kent whispered. "What is it that turns you on most, huh? Seeing me at work? The feel of the leather? The solitude?"

Jigen was in no headspace to answer; his hips bucked up into Kent's touch, a barely audible chorus of "ah... mgh... uhhn..." trickling out from his lips. Kent's tongue flashed between the pearly whites of his grin. Every time it got a little easier to get him to unravel. He stopped groping Jigen then, earning a plaintive, desperate whine from his partner. Kent's handsthen lifted away the veil of emotional seclusion that was Jigen's fedora to finally lay claim to the sight of his gaze.

Kent gasped then, a tremor running down his spine and desire burning white hot at the pit of his stomach. Deep dark eyes shone back up at him, glimmering with want and making it impossible to argue away his flush as bashful or from the heat. Jigen Daisuke was begging. Begging for him. Kent Mansley had the most powerful, accurate gunman in the world desperate for his touch.

Well, it'd be just cruel to leave him waiting then, wouldn't it?

He leaned in to whisper against the shell of his ear, "Push your seat back." The length of Jigen's tie was released and he scrambled to do as he was told. As soon as the passenger seat was reclined, Kent climbed over the center console and right on top of his lover.

Kent gripped the headrest of the seat before leaning in close to Jigen, close enough to feel him tremble against him; close enough to feel the gasp that escaped from the gunman's lungs against his skin. Kent licked his lips again before growling in a whisper "I think I ought to instill some patience in you..." As if he weren't as equally insatiable. "If you can handle a taste of what's to come, I'll fuck you all night long back at the motel."

Jigen swallowed roughly before whispering back desperately, "Please, Kent. God, I want you in my mouth." Kent grinned down at him, delighted they were already on the same page. He dragged down the zipper of his slacks; Jigen excitedly puffed out and drew in breath beneath him, vibrating with anticipation.

A hand carded fingers through Jigen's hair before pressing him closer by the back of his head. Kent grunted as the gunman mouthed hungrily at the bulge in his boxers. The leather squeaked and groaned with every eager lap of Jigen's tongue, his whole body pressing his mouth closer to Kent.

"That's it, baby. Show me how much you want it." Kent could feel the sharp intake of breath Jigen took as he nosed against the fine downy curls peeking out from his boxer waistband; it was like a prelude for his tongue, which soaked through the cotton trying to catch the barest taste of Kent's skin.

Eventually Jigen reclined, breathing heavy and staring up at Kent with lust-glazed eyes. "Please, Kent. Don't tease me-- I want you."

Kent clicked his tongue again. "Come now. You know you've got to use your words, sweetheart."

It never took that much prompting from Jigen. The gunman screwed his eyes shut before gasping out, "I want your cock so far down my throat I can't friggin' breathe, Kent, please."

Kent's zipper jingled as he went for his fly. "Good boy. I'm strict... Not cruel." He smiled as the annoyance on Jigen's face melted away; his gaze fixed itself squarely on the agent's hands. Followed every minute journey of Kent's fingers as he parted open his slacks the rest of the way. Greedy and keen.

His attentiveness did not go unnoticed. Kent rolled his hips in a slow, loose circle, purring, "Still so impatient... Don't you want to watch me strip for you? Or are you just so eager to see my cock?" Jigen's desires were obliged soon enough, of course, with Kent pulling down the waistband of his boxers and slacks just past down his thighs. His dick bobbed out, half hard but already with a pearl of precum budding at the rosy head.

Jigen took in a deep breath and groaned.

Kent couldn't play coy any longer. He barked, "Open that slutty mouth of yours. Stick your tongue out. I want to just slide right in." There was no hesitation before his orders were followed. Jigen's lips parted and he stuck out his tongue, staring up at Kent with imploring eyes.

There was just one more modicum of vexation Kent had to act on. He inched closer, one hand at the base of his throbbing cock to keep it steady. In a measure to test the limits of Jigen's patience, he dragged the tip of his length across his tongue. A glistening trail was left in its path as Kent rocked his hips from side to side. Underneath him Jigen panted and whined and flushed like his desire was threatening to rip him apart from the inside out, his whole body trembling with a carnal fever.

Kent could feel that desperation. He grunted every time the gunman's warm breath washed across his cockhead. Every atom of Jigen screamed his desire to lick him up and down, to suck hard on every inch of his skin, to at least swirl his tongue around the slit leaking all that pre onto his tongue. But he remained still and let Kent tease him so callously. Jigen's lashes fluttered as he felt the agent get fully hard against him. A low, shameless groan vibrated deep in his throat; it was only then that he couldn't help but lick at Kent. Ever so slightly.

He was due a reward. They both were.

"Good boy," he whispered. "You've earned this." A whine rose out of Jigen-- one of relief, of gratitude. A tremor ran through Kent and his tongue smoothed out against his lips in a show of his own hunger. He let go of his cock to grip the back of the gunman's head again. He edged the head against Jigen's tongue a few more times, testing the angle, before finally pushing in.

The length of his cock just disappeared. All Kent had to do was push his hips forward, and Jigen swallowed him all in one effortless go, moaning. Kent grunted at the tight, hot, delirious wetness of Jigen's throat. It was like being surrounded by velvet-- such a delicious contrast from the gunman's rough, aloof exterior. But it was the eager lapping of Jigen's tongue against the underside of Kent's cock, with his nose buried in the sparse auburn hairs of his mons that it was so close as to tickle his balls, that really drove him wild. The agent ran his fingers approvingly through Jigen's hair before he spoke.

"Such a good boy..." Kent's words were sibilant, airy, reverent. His firm hands pressed against the back of Jigen's head as he bounced his hips against his face slowly. "Taking all of me like it's nothing. You love this cock, don't you?"

Underneath him Jigen moaned again, sucking around him so fervently drool was getting trapped in his beard. Kent groaned his approval, rumbling, "You want me to fuck your face? Is that it?" He felt before he heard Jigen's whimper of affirmation, the sound vibrating through him like electricity through power lines.

The naked display of desire, the downright obscenity, did not end there. Kent gripped Jigen's hair tight before he finally started to move his hips, grunting with every slow thrust. The sound of his lover's throat as his dick slid in and out lit Kent on fire. It spurned him to move faster, harder. Every thrust made a wet, filthy noise in the gunman's throat; every swing of Kent's balls against Jigen's chin resulted in a soft smack. Jigen's hands shot up to grip Kent's ass to anchor himself, squeezing and massaging in time with Kent's thrust.

Kent tossed his head back as he breathed out, "Fuck, sweetheart, you're perfect-- So fucking perfect. You love being a cocksucker, don't you?" He turned his attention back to Jigen and his eyes lit up seeing him staring back up at him. "L-Look at you. Still begging for more. You're drooling..."

Jigen squeezed his ass tighter and moaned loudly in agreement. His tongue trembled against the underside of Kent's cock and Kent gasped; it was beginning to drive him over the edge. He wants me, he really wants me. His expression split-- brows knotting and sprouting wrinkles across his forehead, smile fading into an open O to moan --losing its confident edge for just a moment as the realization flushed over him. Kent's voice cracked before he moaned "You ready to take my cum, baby? N-Not even letting me enjoy this you're so eager for it, huh?"

As if he was going to last anyway. With how talented Jigen was, there was no holding out for long. He gripped the back of the gunman's head with both hands and fucked his face faster, harder, grunting and swearing like a beast as he got closer and closer and closer... Before finally pulling out. Jigen gasped loud as he drew real breath for the first time.

There were only a few seconds of respite before Kent was coming, however, still holding fast to the gunman's locks to keep him in place. His load stripped across Jigen's face and into his open, begging mouth and against his still-protruding, eager tongue in thick hot ropes.

"Ah... ahh... ah..." Jigen's eyes drifted half shut as he turned over the mess in his mouth, savoring it as if it were a fine dessert. Kent's whole face flushed bright red. The sight, paired with the gunman's deep flush and disheveled hair, was beautiful. Obscene. Indecent. Transfixing. Never before had Kent seen such a display of naked desire.

He couldn't hold back from leaning down to kiss Jigen. His tongue probed deep, licking into every corner of his sullied mouth. The bitter taste of himself on Jigen's tongue made his eyes roll back in his head; he lapped into the gunman's mouth moaning, drooling, sucking on every inch of his lips.

After they parted they just breathed together. For a whole minute, chests heaving, lips rosy and glistening, and lust barely dissipated. The windows were completely fogged. Night had fallen in its totality. Somewhere in the distance, an owl whooped in victory.

Kent drifted two fingers down Jigen's lips and smiled. "Did you like that taste, baby?"

Jigen chuckled. "You fuckin' know it, honey. Are you gonna make good on your promise?" He grabbed Kent's tie that time, grinning deviously. "That was just the sampler. I want all of you..."

Kent laughed, grinning back, before whispering, "Who am I to deny Jigen Daisuke? You can have everything." He closed the distance between them to give his lover another kiss-- a quick peck, that time. "I did make a promise, of course."

Jigen snorted. "You made a lot of promises and teased me anyway! I mean it, Kent. I'll go on strike if you keep stringing me along." That earned a gasp out of Kent, real panic running through it.

"Alright, alright! I mean it. I'll do whatever you want when we get to the motel, alright?" The agent nodded down at the hand affixing his tie. "The sooner you let me go, the sooner we head back." He chuckled before adding, "And for the record, I agree with you. About the case."

Jigen's eyebrows shot up. "You agree with me? Just now, or from the beginning?" A smile of snark crawled across Kent's face that made the answer clear. Jigen held his gaze for a second before his own smile wrinkled. Half grimace, half smirk.

"You bastard... I'm gonna give you a taste of your medicine tonight." Kent blushed, his imagination running wild as a stallion. That could entail an endless multitude of things. Jigen could fuck his face, or his ass, or his tits, or he could ride him until exhaustion, or finger him until he screamed--

Kent blinked out of his reverie with a dreamy smile on his face. He picked up Jigen's discarded fedora and placed it back on its rightful perch atop his shaggy mop. "Promise?"

Jigen let loose of Kent's tie in turn and gave the pointed tip of his nose a little press with a coy smile. "Promise."

0.9.4 Town & Guild Update finally out! 🥂

This has been our biggest patch yet with a complete rewrite of all the villager quests~

Below are the full patch notes, but here are the highlights:

Restrictions on villagers lifted: you can now have everyone all at once!

Blueprint shop and other recipes no longer all unlocked at the beginning. All new quests have been implemented to unlock content

Villager quests have been completely redone and new ones have been added

Villager dialogue pools have been reworked to give better chances of seeing all the lines; certain lines that don’t make sense to be repeated as you befriend them will no longer be in the pool (ex: Rejka being confused why you’re talking to him in the morning despite the two of you dating)

UI changes for expanded dark mode, including an all new quest system and UI to go along with it

Crafting recipes can be tracked alongside a quest on your HUD via the crafting menu or a workbench

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS WE’RE FINALLYYYYYY DONEEEEEEE (asterisk kind of asterisk).

This is the biggest patch we’ve done since early access launch and it absolutely, irrevocably, mentally broke the two of us. We prefer to do smaller patches more frequently, but this patch just required so much tech debt to be fixed and systems to be remade there was no other way we could’ve done this.

Well, it’s almost over now. We’re still going to be working on some polish and adding some content that we couldn’t put in (like join quests), but for now, we both really, really need a day off after two and a half months of non-stop work.

It’s been so long I’m starting to make really dumb mistakes, so yeah…a day off would be nice…………

Okay, now that the main points are out of the way, it’s time for enraliYapping! ☝️🤓

🔖 Quest Progression

Gone are the days of MIAO unlocking everything. From now on, MIAO will serve as a gentle nudge for players to discover features about the game, as well as progressing through Mikan’s character arc. I’d like to add some more quests in the near future so you can get to know her own journey through Snacko Island’s revival.

To highlight how much has been changed, areas in yellow are quests that were retained from 0.9.3, everything outside of that I made for 0.9.3:

Yeah…it was a lot…….That’s why it took us forever to test and fix :(

But! I’m really excited to see how you feel about the new progression. Instead of having 300 recipes unlocked right off the bat, anything from dyes, to cooking recipes, to crafting recipes can now be unlocked in a variety of ways, usually through Guild quests.

Guilds each have their own representative(s) that will communicate with you through quests or deliveries. Each Guild rep sort of has their own personality and way of writing, and some of them even have mini story arcs within them, so I hope you enjoy getting to know everyone!

You can also unlock things via villager quests. Not only will you learn a new recipe or unlock a new shop item, you’ll also get to know them better! It’s a win-win!

We want to slowly move away from the whole “talk to NPC, give them gift, rinse repeat” cycle, as well as the “randomly trigger their friendship event when walking around”. With the quest system, we’re hoping to slowly port over those cutscenes, as well as giving players new ways to gain relationship points with the characters.

There are also changes to the quest tracker on your screen!

Now, the quest no longer disappears immediately after finishing, causing confusion. It will now stay on the HUD until you switch maps, or when you get a new quest, or when you track a different quest.

Completed quests with rewards will require you to claim these rewards. There’s a new filter inside your journal to view unclaimed rewards, as well as an animation and icon in the quest tree.

You may also find quests that have rewards on accept. Those will be denoted with a little golden ticket icon.

The quest tree itself was built in our back end SnackoEd tool on the web, and the locations of each node are then ported over into the game. Cool, right? If we were still using the old quest system, there would’ve been no way I could’ve made all these new quests for this update.

Along with the new quests also come new quest types. So, instead of just shipping something, or getting X number of items, there are also quests from villagers that will request you to place decorations or other buildables near their house.

It was a lot of work to rip out all the guts, from the way the game faded to the way the HUD rendered…but it was worth it! Snacko needed to get changed at one point so we could scale more easily, so we’re glad we bit the bullet.

Let’s all give recursive a round of applause for sacrificing their sanity! Yippee!

📝 Coming Soon

In the next couple of days, outside of fixing any nasty bugs, we’ll also be finishing up “join” type quests. These are quests that you can grab from the board and meet up with the villager and go on an adventure together! They’ll follow you around until you bring them home, so it’s a nice way to spend some time with your favourites.

For now, they’re disabled until we push that update, so you may find some “coming soon” cards in your tree or board.

You may have also noticed some quests being labelled as “story”. There’s currently two side story quests after you finish the main story, but I’d love to add more. In preparation for these, I’ve moved off a lot of the front-loaded exposition in the game.

One thing I’ve noticed is that players actually continue to read the journals spread out through the biomes. I wasn’t expecting that… So, I wanted to do something like that without just littering books everywhere. Story quests will be a continuation of that concept, where the burden of world building and lore is no longer stuffed into the mandatory main story cutscenes.

The bookshelf/tutorial UI was also updated into SnackoUI, and I’ve left myself some room and space in the data for adding notes and books you can find in the future for more lore-dumps.

Now that I’ve talked about some of the things that we had to set up the game’s systems for in the near future, let’s go back to what’s already in the game…

📐 U and I

You may have noticed some big changes in the UI! Now, with expanded dark mode, it’s no longer just the dialogue box.

There’s some improvements as well, such as the action prompt image now paired with the item indicator, instead of needing the item name to disappear before you can see which key it is.

The dialogue boxes and choices themselves also got a face lift, along with new animations and functionality. When you’re speaking to a villager about a quest, it should show the quest name on the upper right corner.

The dialogue system was rewritten as a system so we can better add new lines in the future. The old system was…prohibitive, to say the least, and it did not scale well. With these new system-level changes, we hope localization and adding more content in the future will be 100 times easier!

I mean, just look at this… I don’t want to touch this…

Now, we can use a bunch of different ways to get text into the game. Either that’s through our custom back end SnackoEd, or through a good ol’ spreadsheet.

Hehe, there’s a lot, and honestly, I’ve forgotten a lot of the polish we’ve done since it’s been two months since we started. So I hope you guys will enjoy the little touches!

Additional quality of life features added include a crafting recipe tracker. Inside the workbench or your crafting tab in the journal, you can now pin a recipe at any quantity to pin it to your HUD like it’s a quest.

You can also buy things from each shopkeeper when their store is closed. You won’t be able to speak to them directly to expand your house, but you can buy the basic goods from their shop.

🍃 Fast Like the Wind

Yay, there’s new movement tech! Double jumping wasn’t enough, so now we have a charged sword dash and pickax bounce.

When you charge up your sword, you will dash the direction you’re facing. How far you go depends on how much you’ve charged. You can also dash mid-air, and if you time it just right, you can keep dashing and “fly”. I’m not too good at this myself, but I’m sure there’s some of you that will find this a walk in the park.

The pickax bounce is when you’re mid-air, you can bounce off of anything by charging it any amount. The distance you bounce back depends on your initial velocity plus how much you’ve charged.

It makes the cutest little “bink” noise when you pull it off, so maybe you can have some fun just binking your way around town.

We also changed the charging: when you’re charging up any tool, it no longer locks you in place. You’ll move really slowly, but you’ll still be able to move.

✨ Closing Notes

I hope it made sense why we had to take such a long chunk away from updates to work on this one! The way it was done and how many underlying systems needed to be completely gutted and redone was too many, so there was no way to “split it up”, so to speak. We’re really excited to add the new things in that we can have now that the foundation for Snacko is much cleaner and easier to work with. That’s something that will get more important as we add in more features and begin the work for multiplayer.

With all that said, I think the two of us need a day off to just lay down and do nothing.

As always, if you notice anything wrong with your save file or found a bug, please let us know! We’re always happy to help you fix any issues or rectify any errors in your save file.

You can reach us through Discord (just ping us, don’t be shy!) or email.

Thank you for reading my long-winded patch notes, and we really hope you enjoy this one!

Good night!!!! 🐾
