@windsfavored | ( Closed Starter ) Nahida had insisted. Well, the Traveler admits, she didn't have to insist much- just look at him with her big eyes, pleading, and he caved. He didn't know why she wanted him to go back down to the place that him and the then Scaramouche had fought, again with Ren, but if he had to guess....

She probably thought it could ease the tension.

"Mm?" A jerk of the head towards their goal, a question on his face- are you ready?

[devctiion]

"Pfft... Are people really saying I turned a Harbinger into ash with a single strike? That's so funny." Well, the loss of life isn't funny, of course, but the wild departure from the truth is patently absurd. "I suppose I'll be able to walk on water next! Wouldn't that be convenient?"

"Who did this to you?" - from Dew

Angsty Questions Prompt @lickingtheflames

To be built perfect is all but asking to be broken down brutally. Every piece of the Quintessence was forged with deep thought, with careful precision like a patient under a godly knife. His body was sculpted to carry and defend, his horns built to gore and puncture, his essence an effigy to his creator, Lucifer. Long may Lucifer reign as Aether's light shines on the world. A muscular tail snakes out of the lacing of his waistband, protectively coiling around his leg as a source of grounding with the question.

The shirtless Ghoul stared down at his chest and the litany of scars covering his flesh. Some were scars inflicted by a hunter most Holy, some were caused by jealous demons of Hell who wished to defile one of Lucifer's most perfect creations. Choosing his battles when it came to stories, Aether pointed to the deep, ragged scars across his pecs and sternum.

"These were from a few invading angels, back down in Hell. I was alone, searching for a good meal in a forest of lost souls and I...well. I got lost." Aether offered a shrug. "I didn't even realize that I have started climbing up a pretty steep hillside, trees had kept me covered most of the time so I wasn't aware of how close I had gotten to the top of the hill. First second I was away from the cover of the trees, I had blades in my chest. They took their knives and did the first thing they could. Stab and cut me up to try an' kill me. Lucky for me, 'was too stubborn to die. I managed to hightail it back through the woods, lost the hunting party. Aaand here I am now!"

Aether

It was a normal day out in Teyvat for Aether, solving puzzle after puzzle and collecting a lot of treasure

You, having nothing better to do, decided to join him for the day

He was excited to have you join in on his adventures, you usually spend most of your time away

So, as you can imagine, he made sure to show off extra hard today, just for you

And it worked!

You were surely impressed, looking at him in a quiet amazement as you smiled at his accomplishments

"Wow, starlight, you're quite proficient doing this type of things. You look so pretty doing it to, you've done such a good job getting treasure." You praise him in amazement

His planned worked!…perhaps a bit too well…

Aether smiled, albeit a bit strained, and you swore you heard a whine leave his lips

He looked away, planning on working on the next puzzle, so you decided to let the subject go

You decided to tone it down with the praise for a while, not wanting to make him uncomfortable

However, he seemed rather…sad, to not hear your praise at his actions

Well this isn't what he wanted, not at all!

He was decidedly more whiny around you, as if indirectly wanting to annoy the praise out of your system

Not gonna lie, it was a bit frustrating for you, but after feeling his lips against yours in a frenzy, you understood his message well enough.

Aether's moans were heavenly, and you made sure to let him know. You gently pulled him down to your thigh, helping him find a good rhythym. His hands were on your shoulders, using them as leverage to steady himself. His thighs were shaking as he moved against you, trying to chase his release.

"Look at you angel, so good for me. You ride my thigh so well~"

His moans got louder, his pace faltering. He could feel his face grow redder as you trailed kisses down his neck and chest, your hands helping him find his rhythym again while you worshiped his body. His pants and slight whimpers were bouncing off of the walls of your bedroom. He muttered out a soft "please…" as his pace quickened.

"Please what, sunshine? C'mon, let me hear your sweet voice."

His hips stuttered and he hung his head down. He felt his orgasm approaching, the feeling of your lips against his skin and your words of praise was too much for him.

"Please please please! Keep praising me, I-I-I'm c-close!~"

"You're doing so good, Aether. I'm so proud of you, such an obedient plaything~"

His eyes rolled back, his hips grinding harder against your thigh as he chased his release. Finally, after humping your thigh for a few moments, he came harder than he ever had his entire life. You didn't know whether to feel offended or pridefull, but the way Aether looked right now cleared your thoughts. He was breathless, face flushed and mouth slightly open. He was also drooling a bit, a fact that you used to tease him.

"Aw, did it feel that good? Well, I'm certainly not complaining, you look so heavenly right now."

Oops, looks like he's hard again! Just what are you going to do with such a needy boyfriend?

Lumine

It started out as any regular de-stress afternoon, making out!

You two were laying on a comfortable mattress while your lips moveed against each other.

It was lazy, peacefull, and exactly what Lumine needed after a long, tasking day

You two separated to take air, your eyes scanning all over her body before you dove back

"Heavens above, you're a gift sent from Celestia itself…"

The noise she made against the kiss was downright sinfull, and totally not what you expected from a lazy make out session

Before you could respond, she tugged you closer to her as she kissed you with more fervor

As she did, she guided one of your hands down to her underwear, letting it hover just above her clothed pussy

Intruiged, you pulled away from her passionate kiss

"Lumine, what was that about?"

"Please…"

Well this is interesting, you've never heard her beg before

After your confused expression relayed the message to her, she took a shaky breath in and out as she explained

"Your praise, it felt…good."

Ah, so that was it! Well, this certainly made your afternoon take a turn!

"Look at you, starlight, so pretty like this…"

You whisper sweet nothings in her ear as you trail kisses down her jaw, your hands sliding up and down the inside of her thigh. You could feel how her breath hitched at your words, her arm searching for a place behind your neck. Slowly, you opened her legs with your hands as you kissed further down her body.

Despite her embarrassment, she allows you to open her legs even further apart. She was breathing heavily now, in anticipation and desire. She could feel your fingers ghost over her thighs as they made their way to her underwear, slowly pulling it down to her knees. With her permition, you slowly inserted one finger into her. After. awhile, you got the green light to add another, slowly moving your fingers in and out, before curling them.

"Look how well you take me, moonlight, it's like you were made for me~"

"O-oh! I was, I was! All for you~"

You could feel her clench around your fingers, keeping them inside her while you moved your other hand to play with her clit. She spasms, the pleasure ripping heavenly moans out of her as you continue your motion inside her.

"So beautiful, I love when you sing for me."

She got louder at that, hitting your things as she humped your fingers. She came with a loud cry of your name, falling backwards onto your chest as she caught her breath. You smiled down at her and kissed her cheek, removing your hands from in between her legs. You were just about ready to call it quits when you felt Lumine shift and palm at your pants, looking up at you with a slightly flushed face and a loopy smile.

"Can I…return the favor?"

Well, when she looked at you like that and asked so nicely, how could you say no to your sweet flower?

[tenebriism]

@ironbloodcd liked for a shippy one-liner :

" ... ignore them. They're just... saying all that to tease. " And it's working, else he wouldn't be hastening to put DISTANCE betwixt them and the old ladies giggling up a storm just behind them.

[frostwnd]

... ah, getting a layout would be a good idea, wouldn't it? They'll just pretend it was their plan all along.

"... Wrenn, can you babysit Paimon?" They'll give Wrenn the most innocent expression they can.

“Human-adjacent, then.”

Wrenn didn’t care if the person who convicted Childe was human or not—they all acted similarly enough, anyway.

“Going to get a layout of the jail before making a plan? How cautious of you. At least you think before you act.”

[frostwnd]

But wait... if he gets arrested and sent off back to Meropide.... then no one will be able to track him down and ask him to do stuff for them....

Sunday already passed but everyone just needs to know: booba supremacy.

“ we all have secrets, don’t we? ”  - from Dew

Question Starters @lickingtheflames

"Of course we all do, but the severity of the secret definitely will have an effect on how hard we work to hide it. Something as simple as a white lie may stay hidden for a day at most, but there are some feelings we prefer to keep to ourselves. Telling every single truth we've ever thought would be stressful, it would be even more terrifying than facing thousands of crowds in our line of work, yeah?" Aether is able to place himself in the shoes of others, knowing that even the grandest, loudest, most emotionally wrecked Ghouls could keep their secrets.

"You can tell me whatever you want, whenever you want. I don't mind."

[frostwnd]

Oh, Aether would run whatever commissions Baizhu wanted for the next month, he was that grateful for Baizhu just going along with the situation.

Once they were both in the room he'd set Childe in, they headed over to stand near him, just in case Childe lashed out one of the times he came to a bit more.

"He was arrested in Fontaine!" Paimon's voice blipped in a moment before her body, swaying as she floated; all the usual, except for the frown she now wore. "Before that, he got beat pretty badly. The Chief Justice himself slammed him into the ground to stop him from causing trouble! He passed out then, and didn't wake up before he was taken away."

Aether nodded along, glad for the brief reprieve of silence on his part, though it couldn't last long- not when he went to visit Childe without her.

"They had him in a room, cold. He said he was having trouble seeing or hearing, and reacted strongly to a bit of light. Bringing him here... was rather rough, so he's become more unresponsive since."

Baizhu nodded along with Aether's words, not entirely sure what the problem was, but he understood enough to get that their friend was in medical trouble and they trusted him to help. He stared down at the talisman in his hand until Aether started tugging at his arm.

'Bad medicine'? Given something to make the patient sick? Whatever it was, it was enough to have the world famous adventurer in one hell of a tizzy.

"Wait, who's 'they'?" he asked as his head snapped up. Just what trouble had Aether gotten themself into? "You know what," Baizhu shook his head gently, "nevermind that, we have a medical emergency." He poked his head in the back area and called out. "Gui? I have an emergency patient to deal with, can you come and mind the front until I return?" he then turned back to Aether, "Come."

Walking outside, Baizhu led them to the upstairs area of the pharmacy, closed off from any prying eyes, and locked the door once they were inside. If the room was needed by anyone else, Gui had a key he could use after deducing no-one was present inside.

"You should be familiar with this room. Feel free to hide your bag in any nook or cranny you can find. I suppose I will wait for you... wherever this thing will take me?"

He focused on the talisman and- oh, he was somewhere different. Based on his knowledge, the place appeared to be in Inazuma but... not? If anything, it seemed to resemble more the visual novel he read over Qiqi's shoulder during one of their trips to Wanwen Bookhouse. There wasn't time to ponder over the matter as Aether soon appeared, and led him into the house and into a... storage room. A storage room with-

Oh, a familiar patient.

Wordlessly, Baizhu approached the bed and began to conduct a brief examination, humming as he went. There were some causes for concern, particularly when he knew the patient to be rather reactive when vulnerable, yet he saw little sign of that man before him. All he saw was a pliant, docile creature.

"What do you know of his condition, Traveler? Even if you don't understand it, any information you have will help me determine the cause and any potential treatment routes."

[viaetor]

An apex predator was not built to be loved, he was built to defend, to scratch and claw and ensnare necks between his jaws and add pressure. He was not meant to hold, to love, to cherish. He was a beast, meant for you to admire and fear and beg for mercy. It was clear in the way he moved, in the environment he was raised in, in every movement he made. Large hindpaws would make the ground shake around him, forceful and triumphant. Large, clawed fingers should shred through flesh like a hot knife through butter.

All of his body was a weapon meant to hunt and destroy first and ask questions later, but The Cardinal did not see him that way. As a matter of fact, Aether saw the reverent behavior as charming, amazed at the fact Copia regarded him with the love and commitment that one would give Lucifer himself. The end of the Quintessence's lips quirk up in a smirk, a rumble coming from his chest at the fairy tale description of Aether's fangs. Gold metal glints in his tusk-like fangs, a smile growing as he watches Copia's hands move around the space awkwardly, he can't help but move his hand to meet Copia's, guiding it towards his furry, scarred chest.

"Of course you may, Cardinal." His tufted tail flickers side to side when he fully understands the multitude of what Copia had called him. Beauty of the Stars. Never had he been called that before, and he found himself enraptured by the title, gladly taking it and returning the kindness. Aether's Italian wasn't...perfect, but he could still indulge in its delights.

"Signore del mio cuore, you're too good to me." Aether lets himself relax into the touch, letting Copia's hands wander across his body. "Is there...a reason you sought me out? I can assist however you need, mio tesoro?"

copia sits on his knees. the cardinal's breath caught in his throat, whilst he blinks up at his ghoul. il suo grande ghoul. very great, & big indeed. more than he ever could have imagined. though, he'd wanted to -- oh, how he's tried. their realization of who they were to each other beginning to settle into a more familiar territory. his soul lives inside of the other. he was his, & vice versa. an awkward coupling that has only gotten more natural as time goes on. with every tour, & the closer that copia gets to his second album. the only leader to achieve such a feat. his papacy so close that he can taste it on the tip of his tongue.

hollow eyes stare - mismatched. ghastly on his predecessors yet strangely endearing on the cardinal. his mustachioed lip hanging open, in the throes of his blank stare. amazement, bewilderment. yet, still it is containing all of that awe-struck affection. his gaze slowly creaking heterochromic orbs within his skull. the purple of their eyes, their scars. he was a magnificent creature to behold, & oh so big. though, when copia catches himself, he's in the midst of lifting his hands. pausing, fingers curling -- "ehh -" he waves his hands in a circular motion, "my, my.. what big teeth you have..." he doesn't know what else to say. his hands dropping down to his thighs. fingers twitching, with the desire to touch & mild discomfort. not wearing his gloves, currently. "so, do i.... want to see the other guy?" copia cringes, & sighs. stops trying so hard. "sei molto bello, mio grande ghoul. very beautiful, indeed." he offers his hand this time. extending it, outward. "--may i touch you, bellezza delle stelle?"

My social battery isn't just drained.

It's shattered.

I'm trying to plug this damn thing in and it's giving me the finger.

[2w1ld3st-2dr3ams]

scurries out of the shadows to drop this

So I personally can't stop thinking about dollification (is that how it's called??). Just like, having a sweet doll at your disposal for any of your whims. I imagine this scenario with either Albedo or Aether, having either of them dressed up and trying their best to imitate a doll just so you can have your way with them, no restraint whatsoever. Or or, you find this doll model at your local tech place (kind of like an android in DBH) and buy it, unaware of the virus that corrupted their system. Having your perfect angel of a doll be slowly corrupted by thoughts of you and what you could do to them. You begin to wonder why your doll's eyes are a reddish-pink, adorned with little hearts, since you could've sworn they weren't like that before.

I'm also plagued by thoughts of eating pussy, idk man it's just the urges. Specifically Lumine, helping her de-stress after her travels to a new nation, breathing irregular as she tries to hover over your face. You aren't having any of this, intent on helping her de-stress properly, so you pull her hips closer to your face and eat her out like the meal she is. As she's squirming and moaning above you, you grip her thighs and stop her from trying to move away. Her moans and gasps urge you to continue until you feel the muscles under your hands relax, pulling her away from you once she's done cumming. While she regains her breath and you clean your face, you can feel her body weight on top of yours again, as she looks away and mumbles how she's still feeling a bit stressed; won't you help her once more?
