Dramatic or cracky, there are options for everyone who has a sudden itching to play out some ships.

↘ Post your character below, listing their name and series in the subject.
↘ Others respond after going to random.org and entering 1-16 for a scene or just picking one that seems appropriate

● 01 I HAVE A CONFESSION | There's someone you really like and it's finally time to tell them! It can be spur of the moment or elaborately planned out.
● 02 START OF SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL | You've just got together and everything is great! You can't stop thinking about each other or keep your hands off your significant other. You want to spend all the time you can together, doing whatever!
● 03 CAN'T GET IT UP | It happens to everyone, honest! For whatever reason, you just haven't been able to perform or maybe you're just not interested in sex. Is it because things are dull? Is it because you're not attracted to your partner? Or have you just been too busy or stressed out?
● 04 SAW YOU LAST NIGHT | You think you saw your partner in the arms of another - was it an honest mistake or is something honestly going on here?
● 05 FIRST TIME | It's the first kiss or the first time making love with your partner and you're so nervous and awkward, you're sure you'll mess it up! Maybe you do, but that's okay... they like you, right?
● 06 ANNIVERSARY | Two week, two month, two year, or whatever number you decide, that's how long you've been together with your partner and you want to do something special to celebrate it!
● 07 WANT YOU BACK | You broke up, but it was a mistake. You need to correct it ASAP... will your lover take you back though?
● 08 JUST MARRIED | Just married! Is it the wedding night? The honeymoon? You decide!
● 09 BAD ROMANCE | You're no good for each other and you know it! Unfortunately, your relationship is so sizzling, you can't break it off and you don't even want to.
● 10 FIGHT | You're both in one of those moods where you just want to sit around fighting over every little thing... bills or money, friends, your partner staying out too late, or whatever you can think of!
● 11 LET'S MAKE UP | Of course making up is the best part though! Whatever it was is totally forgotten now.
● 12 HONEY, I'M... | You've been feeling a little funny for a bit, so you take a pregnancy test and... oh no! Or is it 'oh great!'? Time to tell your partner either way...
● 13 ABOUT LAST NIGHT | Time to face that one night stand...
● 14 CHEATER | You're not being cheated on! You're the other person meddling with someone's lover! But for whatever reason, you just can't say no even if you know you should...
● 15 OBJECTIONS | You're facing a lot of objections to your relationship and it's starting to put a strain on it. Why don't you sit down and discuss it, see if you can work it out?
● 16 HAVE TO LET YOU GO | You have to break up with your partner... not because you want to! But because you need to protect them... can you do it successfully? Will they find out? You decide!

[ And it took Donovan this long to realize that he actually had very little idea what he was doing. But Faye seemed like she knew what she was doing! So he was going to just. Follow her lead.

His hands. On her.

He can do this.

...right?

He brings one hand to her back, just between the shoulder blades. The other one, he tries to bring to the back of her head.

And he's half expecting her to pull out a ruler and start smacking him with it. ]

No, you do, you do, you know you're pale, you can even say it! I can't........ if I think too much about this, I just, I can't........

[ this is starting to get to be too much to handle, she curls up again, burying her face in her knees ]

I'm not sure I understand.

But it took me half a sweep to figure out I was pale for you. And then another sweep and a half just to work up the courage to say it.

I just. I. Ugh!!! [ she scratches at her head in frustration ]

I can't feel pale for anyone, okay? Not pale or flushed or red or black or anything! Even being friends is no good! I can't do it, because that means I care, and I can't!

[ she flops back into the pile and covers her face with her hands ]

[ For a long time, Eighis is silent. What is he supposed to even say? She just admitted that she doesn't reciprocate his feelings. Hell, she just admitted that she doesn't care about him (or anyone else) at all. ]

...I... I see...

[ 'Stupid, stupid, stupid, this was the worst idea, how could I have been so stupid' ]

[ oh god that tone in his voice oh god oh god oh god ]

Aaaah, wait, no, don't be sad, I can't handle that! If you're sad, that means you care, and then I...... [ she groans again and flails before looking at him almost desperately ]

Why are you pale for me, anyway?! I've always been a jerk to you! Always calling you names and shit, I just, why? Why would you care about me?? [ her eyes might be starting to tear up a bit ]

[Lyn walks over to the ablution trap, and...finds himself almost reluctant to set the wriggler down. Part of it is, he suspects, extended paranoia; the idea that anything this small and helpless can survive without hyper-vigilant care and protection seems ludicrous, and the particularly neurotic parts of his pan are half-convinced something will happen to the wriggler as soon as it leaves his arms. The rest of it is...probably affection, although it seems insane that he could've formed an attachment to this little thing so fast.

But it's so goddamn small.

Hesitantly, he lowers it into the water, looking somewhat uncertainly at Komesh for confirmation that he's doing the right thing. He's well outside the realm of appearing tough/cool right now, and normally that would bother him, but those concerns are currently being overridden by more pressing ones. Maintaining his reputation, while something he's always put a lot of emphasis on, does tend to take a backseat when the actual welfare of someone else is involved. It's why he always gets flustered and stops being a jerk (briefly) whenever he genuinely upsets trolls like Nikkal.]

[Komesh gives him his best attempt at a reassuring smile, leaning in close and gently helping support the wiggler as it gets lowered into the water.

He squeezes one of Lyn's hands and then very, very carefully starts scooping water to trickle over the wigglers back.

His smile goes knowing when the wiggler squeaks and tries to rear up at the water. A little fighter.]

_{[Faye knows what she's doing ninety eight of the time. With one percent, she acts like she knows what she's doing, until she eventually figures it out. With the other one percent she admits that she has no clue and just plays things by ear.

This is now the one percent.

She might be kissing, but she's not about to tell which one this is.

Donovan feels very hard and strong against her, a funny thing when he's looking to her for direction. So much of Donovan is hard and resilient and unyielding, but his lips aren't like that at all. Common sense would say they wouldn't be, and yet it's a pleasant and welcome surprise, nonetheless. She wonders if he can feel her heart beat, and the thought excites and scares her in measures that she's glad to say aren't quite equal. While she could, she doesn't mean for this to go on forever. There'd be time enough for that later.

Still, it's hard to think of later when she has this amazing, scary thing, wonderful thing right now.

She shoudl work on stopping, now.

Okay, now.

That was a practice moment.

Faye finally pulls her lips back, though they're not far from his, and breathes in, lashes fluttering.]}

It's probably not what you had in it, but you don't mind, do you?

_{[She means to sound playful and easy-going saying it, but there's a want for approval threaded in her voice.]}

[ Donovan, of course, is still completely bamboozled by this turn of events. He feels something about all of this, but like hell if he has any idea what that something is. So when Faye pulls back and puts a stop to the kiss, Donovan looks pleasantly surprised. ]

I, uh...

[ He takes about a half step back, trying to get a handle on the situation. But knowing Faye, that handle was in a vice grip in her hand. ]

Nope. I didn't see it coming, and I don't mind, but... wow.

[ And then he smirks, closing his eyes and shaking his head for a second. ]

You didn't go insane or anything from your work, did you?

_{[He says "wow" and a chopped, breathy noise slips past her lips in what might be said to be a chuckle. He's just such a dork, sometimes. It's endearing.]}

Hmm, I'm sure the nature of insanity dictates that I wouldn't be able to discern whether I was no longer of sound mind or not on my own.

_{[She taps her lip thoughtfully, eyebrow raised with a small smirk of her own. It takes everything in her to keep her finger from lingering for a moment longer, but in some ways, it doesn't matter.

She can still feel them tingle. ]}

So you've lost it. Great.

[ He shakes his head, still apparently in disbelief. ]

You're going to kill me so there aren't witnesses, right?

[ And then he laughs! Looks like he may finally be adjusting to the situation a bit. ]

_{[It's cute how off kilter he is about this.]}

Witnesses won't be an issue, naturally, I've just yet to decide on a method. It's like picking colour palettes on a custom, one of a kind outfit: you've just got an infinite number of possibilities, but only one shot to land the perfect one. It's a lot to decide.

But at least you can't say that you've never been kissed, non?
[Her voice dips fully into a French accent by the end, and entirely too amused at that.]

You do have a point.

[ He laughs, and can't help but be glad that things seem to already be back to normal. ]

So, uh, how would you kill me?

[ So he's changing the subject just to be safe. ]

_{[The fact that they're more comfortable talking about hypothetical murder than feelings would probably garner a raised eyebrow from most people.

They aren't most people.]}

Poison. It's not nearly as messy as other options, which makes for a cleaner workspace.

[ Donovan gives her an evil little smirk as he shakes his head. ]

That would require you to not only find poison but also to get it into my body. Quite the difficult task...

[ He sighs, the smirk melting into a victorious little smile. ]

...unless your lips were laced with poison. They aren't, right?

You say this like it would be difficult. There are a lot of common things around that are a lot more poisonous than people realize.

And then there's the internet.

That. _{[She clicks her tongue, and breaks into a lighthearted smile that's at odds with the mischievous gleam in her eyes.]} Would be kissing and telling.

[ As Faye continued her cagey, slightly terrifying enthusiasm over murder, Donovan could only laugh as she said "kissing and telling". She really was quite clever. ]

I wouldn't doubt that for a moment. After all, cooking something in a dumb way can kill you. And the internet has enough weird shit on it. If you were going to use the internet, I'd expect a more extravagant death.

[ He laughs again, clearly enjoying things. ]

You won't find a poison that will make my eyes pop out of my head while I breathe fire or anything.

[ And yet, he wouldn't be surprised if she could find worse... ]

_{[Hey, he started it. Don't dish it if you can't take it.

A small smile plays at her lips. ]}

You say that like you're certain.

_{[She's just making an observation, here. :3c]}

[ His eyes widen a bit at her response. Goodness, she could be terrifying. ]

It just seems like a bit much for one poison, you know?

[ And then he shudders as another realization hits him. ]

You seem like you know what you're talking about! You haven't, like... poisoned people before, have you?

What does it matter? You already admitted that you are incapable of caring about anyone.

[ He doesn't sound sad anymore. Instead, his voice sounds flat and dead. His face is just as emotionless and unreadable.

He pulls himself up out of the pile and he stands. He doesn't even look back down at her when he next speaks. ]

I think it would be best if we did not speak to each other anymore.

_{[He just makes it too easy not to troll him. If it's not a crime to exercise self-restraint, it ought to be.]}

Oh, you'd be surprised at what modern science is capable of, these days.

_{[She sighs in deep exasperattion and rolls her eyes dramatically.]}

Donovan, please, I always know what I'm talking about.

_{[Which doesn't actually answer his question. :3c]}

[ She always knows what she's talking about. ]

And that's terrifying, Faye. But it's terrifying in a... kind of good way?

[ What is he even saying. ]

_{[What, indeed?]}

The prospect that I may or may not have poisoned someone. That's terrifying in a good way.

_{[Her voice is a deadpan, but the corner of her mouth curls up in a wry grin.]}

No, the fact that you always know what you're talking about.

[ He laughs, trying to break the mood. He probably fails. ]

But if you've poisoned someone before, I guess that could be pretty cool.
