OC kiss prompt. Captain Harper and whoever you feel would fit in "a kiss to distract."

As we discussed many, many months ago, I know you meant Judith instead of Harper so it’s all good. ;)

Swirling the ice cubes in her old fashioned glass, the golden brandy gently sloshing against the glass surface, Judith stared intently at Jax as he stripped of his pants and began unfastening the straps from his prosthetic. He had the money to get the more advanced, technology sound leg prosthetic that allowed him smooth maneuverability and allowed him to continue fighting without any hindrances. That didn’t mean she didn’t see him occasionally rub the stump right under his knee, red marks showing chaffing from weeks of him being unable to keep caring for him prosthetic. All the missions trialing Walker and battling his countless allies, always on the run, never stopping and barely getting a chance to breath, didn’t give anyone in the group time to continue their normal schedule. And Jax was always the type of person who’d focus on the pain and discomfort of others to the point of neglecting his own health. 

“Jaxie!” she called out, sauntering over to him, the drink still in her hand. “What have you been doing?”

The sandy blond former soldier, shrugged and smiled awkwardly. “Just trying to lessen some muscle pain in my leg.”

She frowned, cutting him a disapproving look before downing her brandy and setting the empty class down. “Bullshit. It’s more than that. How long have you been having problems with your prosthetic and leg?” 

“Judith, I’m fine---”

“How. Long?”

Glancing down at the leg prosthetic next to him, Jax sighed heavily as he ran a a hand through his hair. The longer he tried to stall, the more insistent and irked she would be at him refusing to answer. The conversation would be over quicker if he replied to her question and went along with the flow. Besides, it was a little touching--not that he’d admit it out loud--to learn how much Judith was taking note of him and his habits. That told him she still cared enough to be worried about him.

“About a week,” he finally voiced out, lifting his head back up to meet her stormy grey gaze. “I didn’t want to bother anyone about so I figured I’d take care of the issue on my own. Which I have.” That was a lie but maybe the canard could force Judith to drop the subject altogether. He forced a smile to back up his little lie, hoping she would buy it. Her eyes roamed his face briefly as they stared him down, her features unreadable until she leaned down, cupping his visage in her hands and brought her mouth to his, kissing him so passionately that he slid back into his chair with such force his back stung a little from chair’s metal surface.

“Is that so, Jaxie?” she purred through the kiss, running her tongue along the curve of his jaw prior to returning to his beckoning lips, the surprise in his eyes long gone by now. “Funny...to me, it feels like you’re lying.”

Instinctively, he pulled back, eyes wide. Yet before he could open his mouth to reassure her or fabricate something else, she placed a finger over his lips as if to silence him. There was now a playful air surrounding Judith but in a flash, Jaxon thought he espied a glint of dejectedness across her face. Whatever that impression was, the emotion was gone now--that or it was a trick of light. 

“No need to give me any excuses. It sounds like right now, you need a distraction and coincidentally, I’m wonderful at those. What do you say?” She filtered her free hand through his short, thick dark blonde hair, wondering when the day would come when Jax would finally open up to her about his problems, big or small. Then again, who was she to complain about since she had yet to do the same to him? Maybe they both could use a distraction from the chaos of the real world. 

He chuckled, gifting her a small but genuine smile. “I’m game if you are, Judith.” 

Perhaps one day he’d stop shouldering all the responsibilities and pain on his own. Perhaps one day she’d stop keeping her heart under lock and key and learn to keep both feet on the inside, instead one always out the door. Perhaps one day they’d at last talk about if they really had some kind of relationship together.

But right now, today wasn’t either one of those days.

Someone, jokingly: Haha I kinda ship our OCs

Me:

[darth-salem-emperor-of-earth]

Feel, annnnd Judith.

FEEL. -How does your character react to a persons touch? A random stranger’s? A loved one’s? A friend’s?

Judith loves touch, she loves the joy and intensity it brings when the moment and mood is right. She loves doing most of the touching but she does get weak in the knees if her back, legs, or hair is stroked or rubbed with such affection. Such acts make her feel loved and cherished.

Stranger: Depending on who it is, she might ignore it or offer them a coy smile or wink. If she likes them enough, she might offer them a drink.

Loved one: She’ll be beaming and want to tease her lover with some touches of her own, both sexual and nonsexual. Receiving touches from a loved one reminds her she is wanted and puts her at ease. Touching can be quite stimulating for her and almost always put her in a mood for sexy times.

Friend: She’ll tease them a little and touch them right back, the same method she received the same touch. She’ll feel more relaxed around a friend offering her some physical content rather than a stranger’s touch. Depending how close she is to the friend, she’ll probably give them a hug as a greeting.

Sensory prompt for Harper: 1

1. Watching a meteor shower

Thanks for the prompt @darth-salem-emperor-of-earth! I had so many ideas about where to go with this – I hope you enjoy what I went with :D (Featuring @gaiden1974’s OC Sean Rodriguez).

Harper grimaced as her foot sunk deep into a muddy puddle – an unavoidable misfortune as a result of her waterlogged surroundings. The saturated ground was the only evidence of the intense downpours that had recently battered the area; the night sky was cloudless, allowing an incredible view of Lusia’s twin moons and star freckled sky. Were it a normal night Harper would have stopped to admire the view – instead, she found herself soaked, frustrated and eager to return to the Cardwell.

Unfortunately, her companions weren’t faring much better. She heard Nala and Hyourn bickering close behind her as she yanked her foot free and began to trudge up a verdant hill, facing squelching resistance from the ground with each step.

“If you hate the outdoors so much why did you volunteer for this delivery?” Nala’s biting tone made it clear that her nerves were frayed, but Hyourn ploughed on obliviously with his grumbling.

“I’m just saying, it’s the twenty third century. What kind of crazy do you have to be to willingly choose to live in the arse end of nowhere?” He adopted a posh, high-pitched voice – a poor imitation of their asari client. “I simply don’t know what to do with all this money! I suppose I’ll build a fourth home in the jungle. What could possibly go wrong? To make things entertaining, I’ll order a giant package of exotic groceries to be delivered by foot in the middle of the night in monsoon season. Mwa-ha-ha!”

“So she’s eccentric, and likes her privacy. At least she paid well.”

Hyourn snorted, although his reply was cut off as his foot slipped on a muddy patch of ground. He swung his arms wildly to regain balance and avoid falling face-first into the mud. Having righted himself, he briefly glared at the ground before resuming the uphill trek. “Ugh, nature!”

“By the goddess, if you don’t shut up I’m going to throw you back down this hill.”

Hyourn, dramatic as ever, gasped and clutched at his heart. “You wouldn’t! After all that we’ve been through?”

Nala rolled her eyes and was about to snap back, but Harper chose to intervene before the argument escalated. She abruptly stopped and turned to face them, pinching the bridge of her nose in a vain attempt to ease a building headache, and interrupted them in a mockingly sing-song tone of voice, “Okay kids! Quiet time now.”

Hyourn seemed to be on the verge of saying something further but thought better of it and fell quiet. Nala breathed a sigh of relief and shot the captain an apologetic look. Harper waved a hand dismissively and squinted into the dark behind them, barely able to make out the two figures lagging behind. She shook her head and called, “Hey lovebirds! Keep up, would you?”

Alia and Sean jumped apart and scrambled to catch up. Alia at least had the decency to look sheepish, but Sean had that ever-present half-grin on his face. “Sorry about that, Cap.”

Harper narrowed her eyes at his use of the unwanted title. “Remind me why I keep you around?”

His grin widened and he suggested, “The pleasure of my company?” Simultaneously, Hyourn chimed in with, “His charm and good looks, obviously.” The pair high-fived and Harper threw her hands into the air, turning and continuing uphill.

They crested the hill a few minutes later and slowed to a stop to catch their breath. Harper drank in the cool night air and tilted her face up to look at the stars, a sight she had always found comforting. As she watched, a bright light streaked across the inky sky. A smile tugged at the corners of her mouth at the memory it elicited – “Make a wish, Cass!” Nine-year-old Max was pointing excitedly at a shooting star in the sky and bumped her shoulder against Harper’s. She laughed – a carefree, contagious laugh – and Harper soon found herself laughing with her.

A second light shot across the sky soon after the first. Nearby, Alia spoke softly, “Of course! Lusia is well-known in asari space for its meteor showers. I’ve never seen one myself.”

“That and the krogan rebellions. Pretty lights and the beginning of a brutal war – wonderful claims to fame, hmm?”

Nala shushed Hyourn and the group fell into a companionable silence, each with their eyes turned up to the sky to watch the show.

A few minutes passed, and Harper glanced down to check on everyone. Alia and Sean watched the shower intently, their hands clasped together between them, fingers entwined. Nala and Hyourn stood side-by-side, and Nala’s head was resting on Hyourn’s shoulder. “Crazy lady did us a favour after all, huh?” Nala hummed in agreement with Hyourn, and they fell quiet again.

Harper resumed watching the sky, a content smile on her face. She was exhausted, soaked and covered in mud, but she had never seen anything so beautiful, and she was surrounded by people she loved – her family. Did life get any better?

She had only a few more seconds of peace before Hyourn let out an unholy screech and scrambled backwards. Nala grabbed a flailing arm to steady him and prevent him tumbling down the hill. Hyourn’s eyes darted about, searching the dark, and his voice was oddly shrill when he finally spoke. “Something crawled across my foot! There are space spiders here.”

Nala released his arm and rolled her eyes. “Well, there goes the moment. You ruined it.”

“I’m serious. It was huge!”

“I believe you, you big baby. It was just a naera bug – they’re completely harmless. Kind of cute, actually.”

Hyourn shot her a horrified look and shivered, before returning to nervously searching the ground.

Harper let out a relieved laugh, shook her head, and began to lead the way down the other side of the hill. “Come on Fruit Loop, time to go home.” Hyourn jogged after her, eager to get away, while Nala followed at a more sedate pace. Harper called over her shoulder, “Alia, Rookie, try to keep up.” Alia, walking beside Sean at the back of the group, blushed and picked up her pace to catch up. Sean smirked and squeezed her hand as they walked.

Above them, bright meteors still shot across the blue-black sky, trailing between thousands of glittering stars.

If they were asked to explain the difference between romantic and platonic or familial love, how would they do so? Gonna ask It of... Savitr.

Savitr might stumble in trying to explain a clear distinction between each type of love but he’ll try. Familial love will be the easiest for him. He’ll explain it as: “unconditional love that is formed by the bonds from a group of people, big or small, by blood or not, who do everything they can support, help, and be there for one another.”

Platonic love: “A good friend you don’t want to fuck or get intimate with but trust to have your back.” XD

Romantic love: “Someone you want to roll around in bed with, hold hands, cuddle, leave vivid hickeys all over their body, and keep their heart safe and sound.”

Brienne Trevelyan

Her cooking skills are dubious, but she can bake a delicious batch of chocolate chip cookies. When stressed, she has been known to take refuge in the kitchen late at night to bake and clear her head.

She is the youngest of three children. She hasn’t spoken to her brother Caleb since her magic manifested at the age of eleven, but she is very close to her sister - Elina joined the Inquisition shortly after they settled in at Skyhold.

Brie is very attached to her horse, Scout - a spirited and fiercely loyal Dalish All-Bred.
