look at me. // accepting!

@rhulks-legs asked: "look at me" for scout from rhulk. teehee 

Scout’s antennae are held back and he’s about to say something else until Rhulk grasps his chin. It’s-- of all things, he isn’t expecting that in the slightest, and it manages to shut him up for a decent few moments as Scout looks up with wide optics.

Unfortunately, now all he can think about is how Rhulk doesn’t even need to use more than two fingers to hold him like this. “So-- what were we talkin’ ‘bout? ...Right--! Maybe if you stopped kickin’ me I’d be less inclined to pester you.”

[fireteam-silent]

and what about me? - @rhulks-legs

No one on Fireteam Silent seemed all that pleased to see Rhulk, but he had complimented them, so...

The women spent some time conversing among themselves, whispering back and forth, Artemis turning so that Rhulk couldn't see her hand signs, with their Ghosts even joining in.

With a final nod, they turned around and Khalom stepped forward, arms folded across her chest.

"... You have a really nice voice." She said simply.

@mnyehlike asked: mm mint (rhulk)

Hm... How should he articulate this thought?

“I think...maybe this isn’t the right buncha words, but the fact he’s trying. He might act like he doesn’t care to most but it’s so obvious to tell how much he really does care about so many of the visitors to his Pyramid. Reminds me of a fair few Warlocks I’ve met.” Following, then promptly being abandoned by the Witness must have been incredibly hard, and Mint wishes so dearly for the ability to do something about it, and about whatever has happened in Rhulk’s past, but unfortunately, there is nothing.

So all he can do is listen, and reassure. Subtly, so Rhulk won’t close himself off, but it’s the same Mint would do for any of his packmates who are having a hard time. Especially the ones who struggle to accept help.

@rhulks-legs asked: It seemed that the discussion concerning Miush had come to a head. Rhulk had decided that today was the day to berate Scout for his flagrant disrespect for the architecture and inhabitants of the Pyramid when it came to everyone but Miush. He had come down to Scout's level today, using his holoform to properly gesticulate and glare at him as he went on.

 "You don't understand, do you," He seethed as his rant came to a seeming end, "how much room I give you, how many times you've been excused, and how much leeway I give you, because I love you, and-" His words came to a stuttering stop as he rapidly realised what he'd just uttered. "Slip of the tongue," He claimed, trying to quickly save face. He'd gotten very good at translating emotions over to the holoform. Fear was his least favourite.

Scout doesn’t take well to being talked down to, treated as if he doesn’t know better. Unfortunately, that is Rhulk’s talent, and Scout is practically bristling, his tail lashing back and forth and his antennae pinned back.

“Oh I understand just fine, I just don’t fuckin’ care. Whatever rules you put in place here? I ain’t one of your staff or whatever you wanna call ‘em, I got no obligation to do what you tell me.” His vocal lights have shifted to a much deeper orange, almost red colour as he seethes. Rhulk thinks he’s so much better than everyone, and it’s so unfair how he treats Miush, at least in Scout’s eyes, and--

...What?

The phrase leaves him with wide optics, staring at Rhulk wondering if he has heard right. Clearly he has, because of the way Rhulk seems to shrink back ever so slightly too. This is not what he expected today at all. “...Huh? Yeah, no, go back, we’re not just skippin’ over that. You what?”

[fireteam-silent-after-dark]

Was she physically safe? Absolutely. Khalom and Rhulk had a strange sort of understanding, and choking her to death would probably be a breach of that understanding. Unprovoked choking, at least. There was plenty of stupid things Khalom could say or do that would result in Rhulk being absolutely justified in choking her for.

But mentally? Half of Khalom's brain almost froze when he held her jaw, and the other half absolutely shut down as he tongued her throat. Now, she was no stranger to intense making out, and had even been able to briefly deepthroat a phallic object or two in her time, but those didn't wiggle.

It took her a solid few moments to reboot once Rhulk pulled back, and she began to blush a deep purple, stammering all the while.

"I-- uh-- wow." Khalom coughed and covered her mouth with her hand. Thin or not, it would always feel a little weird having something long like that slip past her gag reflex. It was clear that it wasn't entirely unliked from how she averted her eyes and said, "thank you, um, for the kiss."

"... Can I?" For Khalom and RHULK since Khalom can get Memory kisses just by going -wink wonk-

Rhulk chuckles softly. "I have no lips. You can certainly try, however."

He takes off his facemask, revealing the sharp teeth beneath, onyx as the rest of his head. His abyss-coloured tongue slides over them, as if licking his chops.

"Be careful; they're sharp."

@mnyehlike asked: ✔ - for scout (rhulk/miush)

“Rhulk is an asshole, what else am I supposed to say?” Scout is half joking, but Cyclone urges him on, to which he rolls his optics. “Fine. Rhulk is...interesting. All the art in the Pyramid is real cool, though I dunno if he’d talk to me ‘bout it. Maybe I could paint with him one day, but I doubt it, hah. I’m fine if that never happens, though.”

On the other end of the spectrum of reaction, his tail starts to slowly swish back and forth as soon as he moves onto Miush, “They’re so damn cute. Every time I think ‘bout the next time I’m gonna go see ‘em I get all giddy. Can’t focus on whatever mission we’re doin’. But somethin’ specific?” Scout takes a few moments to think. “I like the spark of defiance they’re startin’ to kindle. Or maybe reignite.”

cookies // accepting!

@rhulks-legs asked: 🍪 for rhulk and gale :]

Scout stares at the two individually wrapped cookies that have been offered out to him for a few moments, regarding them with suspicion, but surely nothing bad can arise from this, right? They’re just cookies.

The first one’s wrapping is a camo-greenish colour on the outside, but the inside is adorned with such beautiful patterns and pictures. He recognises them from the swamp Pyramid as murals Rhulk had made, and he wonders why they are not displayed openly on the outside. Meh, he pulls the cookie out of the bag, and takes a bite of it, immediately met with the taste of strong dark chocolate that forces him to pause. The taste certainly isn’t bad, dark chocolate is nice, but the bitterness is still a surprise, lingering even through the sweetness of the sugar. He finishes the cookie.

The second one’s wrapping has patterns reminiscent of a Solar flame, once again more muted on the outside yet spectacular on the inside. Who the hell is designing these? Anyway, Scout takes a bite, once again met with the taste of chocolate, but this time it is sweeter milk choc chips, paired with just the right amount of sugar dusting on top of the cookie. There’s a slight edge to it, though; he realises it’s been burnt, just slightly, but enough that the aftertaste lingers in his mouth, resonating through his array of taste sensors, but it’s not bad. He also finishes this cookie too.

“You really don’t wanna see me?” For an Exo, Scout has some real good puppydog eyes.

@mnyehlike asked: pebbles (moon/gale/rhulk)

His antennae dip, and he grips onto his datapad just a little tighter. “Looks to the Moon is so very kind, and as someone on quite the opposite end of the spectrum, I don’t understand it. I pity anyone who manages to badger her into holding a grudge, and I am thankful that I am not one of those unfortunate souls. ...However, I know I am not alone in thinking her kindness is a detriment, as it extends too far. Of course, it is her own choice, but,” Pebbles’ foot begins to tap against the ground, “there are some who do not deserve so many chances after what they have done.”

At the mention of Gale, Pebbles seems to perk up a little more. Either because he is excited to talk, or he is eager for a distraction; perhaps both. He keeps his voice level when he speaks, “If I must...Gale is very persuasive. How he manages to drag me away from my work after relentless pestering, I do not understand,” the way he fidgets betrays the fact he very much so does understand, “And he’s--...never mind. Let’s move on--”

Rhulk... Certainly an interesting person. There are many things Pebbles could say about him, but one stands out the most. “I respect a fellow archivist. All of the knowledge he has stored fascinates me: ancient civilisations I can never hope to meet, species long extinct, he has quite a notable amount about Sol, too, even if the majority is irrelevant to me.”

the intimacy of hands // accepting!

@rhulks-legs asked: [hold] for Rhulk

Rhulk had been talking about...something. Admittedly, Scout hadn’t been listening. It always had to be super long-winded and seemingly pointless, so most of the time the Hunter tuned out, letting his mind wander to something clearly more important.

He heard a grumble of impatience distantly, not registering it until Rhulk’s hands were on his face. ...This was new.

At first, Scout remained frozen aside from the slight twitch of his antennae, staring at the Disciple’s many eyes as clawed thumbs brushed along the metal edge of his cheeks. Funnily enough, it didn’t help to bring his attention back to whatever Rhulk had been rambling on about. Instead, it only prompted Scout to nip the other’s thumb with his fangs -- whether out of maliciousness or something else, who knew. Probably not the former, given if he wanted to hurt, he probably would’ve tried a bit better.

@rhulks-legs from here!

The Exo squeaked as he hung from his cloak, trying to look as innocent as possible.

“Uh...maybe the weight of my own decision is punishment enough?” Scout tried.

i dare you to kiss...

@unlikelyandco asked: I dare you to kiss… @rhulks-legs for Scout lmao 

Scout stared at Rhulk from where he was perched, optics wide. Uh-- yeah, the Hunter had doubts that was happening, but at least he’d learned from being kicked one too many times. “...Can I?”

Not like he could properly kiss, so it wouldn’t be weird. Right?

[lxghtbound]

what’s my prize?

@rhulks-legs asked: "What's my prize?" 

5. Win a truth/dare from my character 

The Hunter grumbled. This one just wasn’t fair! There were so many questions Rhulk could ask him or so many things he could be told to do! And Scout had a feeling most of the options would be embarrassing. Would a being like Rhulk step as low as to do that to him?

“Fine. Dare. Please don’t make it somethin’ stupid.”

[lxghtbound]

@rhulks-legs

rhulk: laughs

scout: oh god oh fuck oh no im gonna die

but now that begs the question: mutuals i need ur help what new mod should scout get

[lxghtbound]

my muse will give yours one compliment

@rhulks-legs asked: And what about me? - (comedic purposes ask)

“I--” the Hunter stared up at the large, looming figure, still pretty fucking terrified. He’d never seen anything like Rhulk before! What the hell was he supposed to say?

A few beats of awkward silence passed before Scout eventually said, “...You’re pretty damn tall.” That was always a good thing, right? At least to Scout it was.
