Pretty boys making a pretty boy? always

[astral-ardors]

Images and Propaganda/Info under the cut !

Odarem: Will treat you right.. leans towards being a Pleasure Top with ppl and generally Loves to please.. leans towards slower more romantic vibes but he's flexible and willing to try new things,

Julius: Submissive as hell typically, though he does have his rare, more mild dom moments.. can top or bottom just fine.. easily flustered and shy if you're into that, Surprising communicative tho as well,

Snow: Sub top is his main preference, but he'll bottom too... He will do p much whatever you want him to do.. pretty noisy type, can be tame or a freak w/ it, but he's always v attentive,

Doxiou: Very go-with-the-flow type, generally leans lightly more dominant but can go either way and is more than happy to top or bottom.. very experienced lay, but he isn't the reactive/noisy type honestly, he prefers to make his partner react a lot instead,

Reshaper: Hard Dom bottom and he is rarely flexible on that... Will top for certain people if he likes you enough, but getting him to sub is slim to none... He will use his magic to enhance things and make you feel good tho,

Dollmaker: Leans dominant, but can settle for something more neutral dynamic-wise as well.. very flirty and theatrical type, very willing to be a weird freak or have something more laid back and fun (but also he's French, so,)

Starseer: I think this man is very much a verse switch... he prefers things calmer and slower-paced though, the intimate and sensual type usually.. Not a talkative man but when he really gets into it he can actually be pretty noisy.... also if ur a dragon fucker.. need I say more,

Main Characters: Odarem Mortis (His POV) & Seifer Sanaca Side Characters/Mentioned Characters: Vrikoh Havlok (Odarem's official fleet general) & Seifer's Fleet Captain (Armand Buleis) Setting: Seifers' Newest Fleet Ship, some 2 or so sweeps back CW(s): Mentions of Blood and allusions to a murder

----- Google Docs Link -----

You step off of the small transport vessel that had ferried you to your new assignment, the scent of blood hitting your nose immediately, causing you to raise your face mask into place. Well, you’re actually catching two distinct blood trails coming from different directions, but one is a lot fresher… You can’t help but find this curious, as the murder you’re meant to be investigating happened two days ago. Despite your curiosities, your outward demeanor does nothing to show that as you approach to meet with the captain of the ship.

“Doctor Mortis… good to see you’ve finally arrived. I’m sure I don’t need to waste my time briefing you on the situation at hand, do I?” The seadweller raises a harsh brow, tapping his cane to the floor in obvious impatience.

“Not at all, Sir. I read the report on the way, with permission from General Havlok to take as long as required.”

He studies you, perhaps bothered that he can’t see most of your face to scrutinize your expression for not being respectful enough, given the eyepatch and mask you wear. “I give you free rein of the main floor to investigate and find the culprit as you must. If, for whatever reason, you require access to another floor, my Lieutenant will see to you and handle it from there. I expect this dealt with in the next two hours or less, cusp-blood.”

“Just for you, Captain, I’ll have it done in one.” He may not know you’ve got a smarmy little smirk on your face, or that you would’ve winked there as you give your ‘to attention’ salute, but you know, and that’s what really matters here.

After getting that asshole off your back, you don’t waste a second before you’re turning toward the fresh scent of blood, slipping your mask down as your nose twitches and you head towards it. You’re careful to listen for any footsteps or other noises following after you, but hear nothing besides your own boots hitting the floor.

This isn’t a scent you’ve encountered in some time, you think, puzzling over what it could be, when the scent of something distinctly unfamiliar clouds up the mix in your head. This is peculiar, it wouldn’t match up with the killer's profile at all, as far as you know. This drives your curiosity ever higher, and you walk quickly and with purpose… until you come to the end of a series of shoebox-style rooms for the military grunts and reach a… repurposed supply room?

You lean close to the door, listening in, but only hear a grunt and the creaking of a bed. Perhaps an isolated soldier with some kind of odd illness? Why the blood? Why no medical staff nearby? You can’t help it, you know you’d be able to track the murderer down in 20 minutes tops, so you have some time to spare.

With that, you raise a gloved hand to knock gently on the door and speak only loud enough to hopefully be heard by whoever’s inside. “Hey in there, I’m here under your captain's orders. My name is Odarem Mortis, may I come in?”

There’s a long pause where you wonder if they even heard you, until a rasped voice answers you, hesitant confusion lacing their tone. “What…? You... no, leave me alone...”

You’re really not one to push, but your curiosity and concern for this individual push you to ask once more. “Are you sure..? I won’t pry, but I’d just like to check and see if you’re alright, if I can. I won’t cause you trouble, swear on my last good eye.” Shifting your weight slightly from foot to foot, you await their answer through another pause.

“There is nothing to check…”

As the voice trails off, you’re readying yourself to respect the refusal when the voice interrupts your line of thought.

“But you may come in if you really wish to…”

You open the door slowly, your other hand up in the air passively as the tired-sounding stranger comes into view. The shade of violet he possesses immediately ticks your box for a likely mutant, and your gaze gets a little more sympathetic than it already was. You can’t help but note the dried blood on his clothing, that you must’ve caught the scent of to lead you here. He looks at you warily for a moment before hanging his head, as though hoping to avoid any judgement and conversation.

Still, you can’t help but want to converse with him, shutting the door and moving away from it so he doesn’t feel trapped by any chance. “Are you hurt?” you ask softly, trying to be forthright and genuine, to hopefully ease that heavy tension you can tell sits in his whole body like a rock.

His fins flick, but you can’t tell if that’s good or bad yet. “I have no injuries…” The violet refuses to look at you as he answers.

Cautiously, you approach to sit on the far end of his bed and he tenses, though he relaxes a bit more when you don’t make any further movements.

“Can I ask about the source of the blood?”

Immediately his fins flatten and his head turns a little further away from you, indicating that this was the wrong question, so you quickly supply more to follow it up, “You don’t have to tell me anything, your privacy is your own… it would be nice to know your name though, if you’re feeling adventurous?” Your tone is playful at the tail end; non-threatening.

Something about your response eases a lot of the tension he was holding, and he finally turns to look at you, even if his body language remains closed and curled in on itself.

“Seifer…”

The seadweller, Seifer as he’s told you now, studies you- though unlike his captain, his gaze is like that of a prey animal rather than a bored predator. You feel a bit of pain in your chest at whatever put this man in such a state, though instead of showing that, you smile at him brightly. “Nice to meet you, Seifer. I’m Odarem, though you probably heard that through the door already.”

Seifer gives an affirmative sound, eyeing you with a bit of curious interest of his own now as you continue.

“I’m here on work, so I can’t stay long, but… did you want some company? I’ve got half an hour to do something other than my job, give or take, and you seem like you’d be good to chat with. Handsome too, if it’s not overly forward of me to say.” The smile on your face remains relaxed and easy, keeping the pressure as low as possible.

At the compliment to his obviously disheveled appearance, he blushes, fins twitching again. You note that the twitch is probably a positive sign at this point.

“I… y-you can stay, if you would really like, but… I cannot promise I’m good company.”

“I think you’ve done a fine job of it so far, Seif, I’m already having a nice time. And well, you seem like you could use some good company, yeah?”

There’s some hard-to-read look in his ringed eyes like he’s almost in disbelief at how kind you’ve been. He leans slightly closer in your direction, though you suspect it to be subconsciously. You can’t help but wonder if the fact he let you nickname him so quickly and is no longer moving away from you means anything… is he that starved for kindness here? You suppose that you shouldn’t be surprised, given the state you found him in, and the fact he doesn’t even have a proper room- along with the sour attitude his commanding captain wears.

Cautiously you reach a hand forward, stopping when you see him stiffen a bit, though not fully retracting your reach. “Apologies, I should ask… You seem tense, is all. It isn’t my place to ask you why-- though given this place I don’t blame you.”

He seems put at ease by your casual insult to the ship, though, and he doesn’t lean away from you, so you press a little more. “I can loosen up those knots in your shoulders if you’d like. Might make the place a little more bearable? And don’t worry, I’ve got a degree in easing tension.” You joke, keeping it light.

Seifer fiddles with his necklace as he seems to consider your offer, another slight blush dusting the tips of his ears behind his fins, though you’re not sure exactly which part of your words prompted this. 

“Go… go ahead,” Seifer mumbles, looking away from you, but not moving as you shift closer now, slightly behind and beside him on the bed and lifting your hands to hover over his shoulders.

“I’m going to place my hands on you now, just a heads up, Seif.”

He makes a low, appreciative grunt of acknowledgment, and you gently place your hands down on his shoulders, easing into pressing your thumbs into the muscle to work them loose. A little bit of time passes as you feel him melt beneath your hands, giving sounds of approval when you break the tension spots up.

You lean forward to ask him how he’s feeling, right as he seems to turn his head to say something to you, and you nearly bump foreheads as both he and you still. Seifer looks a bit wide-eyed from what you think must be out of surprise until his face darkens with blush once more.

Speaking without thinking too much you ask, “Can I kiss you? I’d be gentle.”

Violet fins flutter even harder than they had before, though this time they remain more upright. Your question seems to do nothing to assuage his blush, though he appears too stunned to answer, so you speak again. “You can say no, of course. If that went too far, I can back off--”

“N... no, I--” He seems surprised by his own sudden protest, eyes glancing downward as he forces out the rest “Please do…”

You smile softly, brushing his lip with your thumb to catch his attention. “Of course.” And when he looks up, you kiss him gently.

Ball Queen Nominee No. 7 - Melina

Submitted by: Odarem Mortis 

I want to nominate: Melina to be the [ ] Ball King [X] Ball Queen [ ] Grand Couturier 

of the Ball of 12th Perigee Eve 2023 because ... she’s truly one of the most beautiful and elegant trolls I’ve ever met. Mel has been through so much and been hidden from light and love for a long time, so to me, her strength and beauty deserve to be not just seen, but appreciated for all they’re worth. She’ll always be a princess whether she wins or not, but I think Mel is one of the most deserving to have that title changed to queen, even for only a night.

[damistrolls]

kizien do you know the name odarem at all? maybe not personally, just through the fleet?

"Ohh, Odarem Mortis. We've met once. Real polite fellow, yeah. How's he doing?"

[goldenguillotines]

Kou have you ever seen or run into any celebrities while at a cat cafe?

"If you count the owner, yes I have... and of course. If you count Doctor Odarem Mortis as a celebrity~"

->He says that title teasingly and chuckles..

"Ah. Don't tell him I called him that."

"But.. I have heard about that cafe's secret late night visitor... and how he had people pressed against the glass. I saw the crowd and decided not to head in."

"Isn't every day Lammek Ritouv shows his face out in public.. and even rarer that he seems to be unattended by a guard."

"Hard to miss that pretty face."

[moonlit-trolls]

Also Captain Morgan, I heard you mention Dr Odarem Mortis on your ship in the past… so that must mean some strange death happened— can I ask what it was?

"Oda! yes. he came to my ship once before. Nice fellow that he is, yes, it was because of a quite sad state of affairs. a man died and came back to roam the ship... heard he knew how to deal with that so, that was why"

[astrumocs]

Achlys and Odarem Mortis both have long, feathered tails based on their raptor-vulture lusus, as well as feathers down their spines... they also both have the ability to smell death and decay from long distances like a vulture can (specifically turkey vultures),

Dox's (left) hair is naturally two-toned and is a thing bc of their lusus being a badger-skunk hybrid,

Tallis (right) has those kinda floppy ears and cow tail bc, well, his lusus is a highland cow, <3

rest under the cut,

Marlox (Left) has sheep ears, pointy teeth, goat eyes, and a wolf tail with wool-like fur on it because of his lusus being a Wolf-sheep* hybrid,! His powers are also electric based and relate to static bc wool is a static-causing fabric,

Paswon (Right) Has a little panda tail for obvious reasons, and she also used to have a habit of chewing on matchsticks because pandas eat bamboo,

Lani's (Left) lusus is a preying mantis-dragon, and her horns are very mantis like is shape/vibe,

Snow (Right) has his black and white hair, as well as his spotted markings, cat ear/whisker horns, and his tail because of his Snow leopard hybrid lusus... he's also a shifter on top of that,

Last two i'll add bc this is long are Null (Left) and Vita (Right).. Null has markings like that of his lusus, a blue-ringed octopus, on his shoulders and back. On top of that he can also technically change the colors of his skin tint, his eyes, and his hair due to their camouflage abilities.. he only uses it on his eyes most of the time tho,

Vita has a winged maned wolf as a lusus, and as a result, he has a canine tail that also sprouts a couple feathers..

Show me your trolls who have physical traits/abilities in common with their lusus. I love that stuff.

[astrumocs]

👊oda and jejune

Oh hmm... this is a toughie,

I think they would both die, perhaps. Because Jejune's toxin is incredibly deadly and fast-acting, so they get one cut on Oda and he's going to die, flat out. The thing is, I think once he gets cut and is aware of June's location/presence, he could take them out (his bullets are silver, just in case of undead dangers!).

So he takes out June, or at least fatally wounds them, and June does the same, ending with them both dying shortly after the scuffle.

All of this assuming June doesn't just use their duplicate and get away scot-free, of course, in which case Oda loses, unfortunately. 😔

[astrumocs]

oda too, ofc <3

My beautiful bird,

[astrumocs]

👊

oda + vita

I'd say if Vita got the drop on him he'd win, but Oda would catch his undead scent before Vita even saw him. If Oda had a sight line and a little distance, he'd be able to get shots off on him. Unless one hit him in a vital though, it wouldn't drop him, and since he can read Oda's thoughts he'd probably be able to do a little bit of dodging, just enough reaction time to avoid getting hit where it counts.

In the end, it really just comes down to luck and reaction time, which both of them are pretty stellar at. It's more or less an even odds if it starts from a distance.

Now if it was close-up fighting? Vita is winning nearly every time- Oda's got a blind spot, and while he's had a long time to practice and learn to play around it, it's still there. That, along with Vita reading his thoughts while they fought? He'd be one step ahead and be able to take him out, especially with that undead strength. Make no mistake though, Oda's giving him a hell of a fight, even for his disadvantages...

memory + odarem

This one... got long bc i'd actually been meaning to write this drabble for a while,,

Characters: Odarem Mortis, Julian Mercur (AKA Julius), and Kaliya Mortis Setting: Odarem and Kaliya's Hive in the past; Occurs during Julius and Odarem's college days

------ Google Docs Link -------

Odarem and Julian's shared late-night class had just come to a close, leaving the two to chat outside the classroom and briefly deliberate before deciding they'd be better off working on that evening's homework assignment together.

The duo makes their usual way back to Odarem's hive without issue, making teasing and flirty small talk along the way, with the bump of an elbow or push of a shoulder here and there. As Julian heads to the living room coffee table to set out their assignments, Oda makes his way to the kitchen to start brewing some coffee for himself and some tea for Julian.

From out in the living room the bronze calls out, "Are you putting tea on out there? These formulas seem needlessly overworked and I'm going to require the extra energy," he remarks, pinching his nose.

"Already on it, Juli, but I make no promise it's caffeinated and not actually sleepy-time tea-- wouldn't kill you to get some rest for once, frankly." There's a cheeky smirk practically laced in his tone as he calls back.

"You're right, it'd be much better if I fell asleep and left you alone to botch the assignment, Mortis."

"Harsh! It was your idea we work on it together, wasn't it?"

Julian clicked his tongue in a derisive tsk, a tinge of embarrassed blush coloring his face unseen. Odarem, who anticipated such a reaction without even having to look, smiled to himself without turning around.

"Yes, but that was for your sake, not mine."

"My sake, is that right? I didn't know--"

At that moment both of their heads turn towards the front door, whose handle had suddenly begun to shake as someone attempted to put in a key. Julian's eyes anxiously flit over to Odarem, whose own stayed locked on the door.

In a loud whisper, Julian spoke, "You said she'd be out until tomorrow evening..."

In a more level voice Oda replied, "That's what he said, but-"

Before the teal could finish speaking, the door swung open, revealing the younger of the two Mortis siblings, Kaliya.

"I'm back-- Oh? what's this? Rem, you have a cute little friend and you didn't tell me?" their gaze immediately swept over from Odarem to Julian, who shuffled ever so slightly under her gaze.

Julian opened his mouth to speak, but Odarem quickly beat him to it, "Ah, yeah, this is my Kismesis. Guess schedules never linked up for you two to meet until now."

Though he wouldn't admit it, Julian was thankful for the diversion, knowing Odarem did it for his sake.

Kaliya frowned and raised a skeptical brow, "Your first real friend and you start dating him? And you just never mentioned him to me, your own sibling?" his eyes dart between Odarem and Julian before he chooses to settle back on the bronze.

"You and I haven't spent much time together lately, must've just slipped my mind, sorry Kali," Odarem offers as he pulls out two mugs to fill with his and Julian's respective beverages of choice.

The younger teal ignores the explanation offered and speaks instead to Julian, "Sorry he's so embarrassed about you, you're his first friend, so I think he's self-conscious--" They wave their hand in Odarem's direction dismissively and continue, "He's such a weird one, isn't he? What is it you like about him, the putting his hands on dead animals or the nonchalant ego?"

Julian turns towards her as she starts asking a bunch of questions, about to give an answer when, once again, Odarem swoops in.

"Kali, we're trying to get an important assignment done, and it's getting late, would you interrogate him another time?" Odarem half-chuckles as though amused by her behavior.

Julian fights the urge to give his boyfriend a knowing look at the fake laugh, instead keeping his eyes on Kaliya.

She taps her foot on the floor for a moment before finally leveling her eyes at Odarem, "Fine-- pardon me for being interested in my older brother's flourishing social life." With that, she walks briskly to her room past them both and closes her door with a notable thud.

There's a long pause before Julian looks toward Odarem, who's now walking over with two drinks in hand. The teal sits on the couch beside his friend, opening his mouth to speak, but before he can get a word in it's Julian's turn to interrupt.

"...I don't like how they speak about you," he says finally, with a hint of gentleness.

Instantly Odarem offers a reassuring smile, "It's alright, that's how he is- I've gotten used to it."

"Odarem..."

"It's okay, Jules, really. Sorry you got grilled like that, I really thought he wouldn't be back until tomorrow."

"That's not-- don't be stupid. You have a lot to apologize for, but that isn't it."

Another long beat of silence as Odarem sips his drink without a rebuttal to offer. Suddenly, Julian begins packing up their homework, sliding things into folders and bags as needed to clear up the space in front of them.

"Jules?"

"We're going to my hive, I forgot a textbook we're going to need there. I know it's late, you can spend the day so we have time to get things done." The whole time he's avoiding eye contact, putting things away while the tips of his ears burn.

There's a moment when Odarem considers pointing out that whatever textbook his kismet could be referring to is almost certainly here under his own possession, but a knowing smile takes its place instead.

"That's a smart call, it's good to see you using that big brain of yours again Jules."

"Shut up, don't make me regret taking you along before we're even out of the door"

An earnest, barely stifled laugh escapes Odarem at that, "Sure thing, love."
