> Pick a prompt below if you're at a loss for why your muses are half nekkid around each other.



1. LOCKER ROOM. Or communal showers, or dressing room, or maybe just the aftermath of a really great party. You didn't mean for your eyes to wander while they were getting changed...

2. THE BEACH. Substitute "indoor pool" if you're in a particularly cold part of the world. Wow, that swimming costume really doesn't leave much to the imagination...

3. INJURY. Congratulations, you've got a new scar to add to the collection! And asking about the older ones is a perfectly legitimate tactic for keeping you distracted while they patch up the latest one...

4. EARLY MORNING. Or late night perhaps...either way, they're too sleepy to notice that those PJs aren't doing too much for public decency...

5. PRE-SEX. Sure, you'll get back to the business at hand in a minute, but right now you're curious...

6. THE MORNING AFTER. Wow, how dark was it in that bedroom? Or were you just really drunk? Either way, you'd swear half of those weren't there last night...

7. WILDCARD. None of the above, or all of the above, or maybe something else entirely. Fabric-eating bacteria ate their clothes? Acid rain?

Han | Fast & Furious series | OTA

[anddontlookback]

He has a few scars, most of which are normally hidden by his clothes. Among the most noticeable are:

-a small but deep scar just above his left eye, and another on his right cheek
-an old burn on his right forearm
-an unmistakable bullet scar which lies along the bottom of his ribs on the left side

No tattoos

( 3 ish! )

[debts]

[ She tracks him under the guise of being an Interpol agent. (Shadowy organisations like SHIELD don't really get the benefit of the doubt, what with being completely off-the-books, and Natasha lives and breathes a lie if she chooses.) Natalie, she tells him, Natalie Romano, but then another party gets involved. There's bullets. There's running. There's some driving that makes even Natasha impressed.

They're somewhere in Peru. She's in her bra and her jeans, nonreactive even though her wound needs to be sutured without anaesthetic. As if making conversation, like she needs the distraction from the pain, she says quietly: ]

Was it a knife fight? The one on your cheek.

Makoto Kino (18, post StarS) | Sailor Mon | Open to All

[denkou]

[Just a few scars here and there and some bruises, but probably more than the average girl her age.]

Dunois - The Foreigner - OTA

[champagneontheriviera]

[Get his shirt off and he has two indents from shotgun bullets and bruises around them and a deep gash scar on his side.

A few other minor, incidental scrapes and scars, but those are the newest and most noticeable.]

prince hal; the hollow crown

[reiks]

[ pretty prominent scar on his left shoulder, various other scrapes and bruises because battle and drunken stumbling. ]

Wes | Pokémon Colosseum

[shadowsnagger]

[Literally covered in scars, most of which are hidden beneath clothes. The most prominent one is right across his face, but it's concealed by thick white war paint.]

Fenris | Dragon Age 2 | OTA

[tevintersdreadwolf]

((Tattoos? Head to toe, as in the icon. Comes bundled with a lecture about the evils of blood magic and slavery.))

3. Hope you don't mind a crossdresser? :3

[moondragon]

*Cain was in the middle of bandaging up a few cuts, gripping the material with her teeth to help maintain the appropriate tension on her exposed forearm. As a realm-walker, she couldn't bring much, and bandages was one of those things. She'd even had to scrounge up some money for a weapon that was less conspicuous than her pistol. Well, daggers were the next best thing, since she couldn't use a bow and arrow.

*Even so, her uniform was a bit too strange for this world, but she really didn't want to part with it. As it was, the white and gray material was bloodstained, as well as the lenses of her glasses. Her blazer rested across her lap. She'd... happened to come upon this skirmish by accident, while she was waiting for her body to recover from the previous realm-walking that led her here to begin with. It was a heavy fatigue that took awhile to recover from, but it didn't hamper her physical capabilities. But it looked like the elf could use a hand curtailing their numbers at the time.*

Hope you didn't mind my interference, but I was bored. *Which is partially true. The other part was that he looked rather unique. The least she could do is get to know at least one of the denizens before leaving the realm.*

clint barton | marvel mcu | ota

[hawkinhisnest]

[Clint is a mess of scars when you get his shirt--or pants--off. Predominant ones are a bullet wound in his right shoulder, which matches one on the top of his left hip, a set of jagged scars over his midsection, a series of perfectly round scars over his left pectoral and tattoo on his right pec]

( 5 )

[debts]

[ They have the luxury of being able to take their time. Natasha's hands skim down his sides, over the rises and bumps of silver-white scars. She's allowed to take her time so she presses her body against his, dips her head to trace his tattoo with her lips, the odd sweep of her tongue like she wants to remember everything about it. Not just the way it looks, but how it tastes; how it fits him. (How it's a little obvious, but she likes — loves, sometimes — that too.) ]

britta perry | community

[ftws]

((ooc| a circular welt on her lower stomach from the fourth paintball war. old and recent scratches along both her arms and her left ankle from owning disabled and disfigured cats. small cut hiding at her hairline from walking into a door. old childhood burn mark from a curling iron on her forearm. stitch on her right knee after tripping while dancing.))

Jokester | DC Universe | Sexytimes unlikely

[jokester_not_joker]

[Owlsie cut him a big smile as seen in the icon.]

[wholenewstory]

[Batgirl usually follows her instincts, and her first is to attack. She hesitates, though, just long enough to see.

The man below her doesn't move like the Joker at all.

It could be a trick, and she's wary as she leaps from the rooftop, but she doesn't strike when she lands.]

Not Joker.

howard stark. mcu.

[ex_expo586]

((ooc| no tattoos, but minor scratches, cuts, bruises, and welts cover his body. nothing serious. just what you'd expect to find on a genius, billionaire millionaire, playboy, philanthropist.))

hope you don't mind!

[sanguinarius]

[ the young woman who calls herself simply 'mina' is obviously someone who is accustomed to doing what she wants, getting what she wants, and damn anyone who disapproves. she'd blown into howard's life before the war, a petite little thing made of sly glances and cool, taunting smiles. she'd offered no family name, no background, but her presence at the same club, her expensive, tasteful dress and jewelry, and her faint english accent had spoken volumes. old-world money, maybe, in the united states long enough to nearly call it home, with no interest in people only interested in what she had.

she'd left long scratches on his back, skin cool and nearly flawless even in the dark, and her pale eyes had been flecked with crimson. she'd been gone the next morning.

the war has been going on for some time, now. bucky barnes has just been lost to an icy river, steve rogers is deep in mourning, and when howard wakes that morning, there's a familiar woman perched in a chair by his bed, delicate white fingers carefully peeling an orange. the citrus scent is sharp in the air, and mina is in red, long legs crossed at the knee and dark hair pinned back in elegant curls.

she lifts her eyes--red-flecked blue--and offers a small smile, peeling away a section of the fruit and offering it out as if it's perfectly commonplace for her to be there. ]

.. You look a mess, Howard. Long night?

Red Savarin | Solatorobo | OTA

[savarin]

[Most prominently, a big freaking scar right across his face/muzzle. He's got some other scars on him too, but his clothes cover all of them.]

[Oh, yes, and no smut please.]

Will Graham | Hannibal | OTA

[hyperempathic]

[He has a scarred over knife wound to his right shoulder, at an angle to the rotator cuff.]

RNG says 1 but you're welcome to switch to one of the shippy options if you like.

[avoirfaim]

[ He's heard of the knife scar of course. It's come up in their conversations, an echo of Will's past that he can hear all about but not quite know as intimately as Will can know anyone else's. Seeing it is something different entirely, and it twists a knot in his stomach that he can't seem to decipher. It is somewhere between the desire to own and control that he's so very used to, and anger. An old friend he hasn't felt in some time. He'll keep it locked away for now, to think on later. ]

arthur | inception | ota

[givehimthekick]

[Arthur has one long scar crossing from his shoulder across his chest and to his lower ribs. He also has a tattoo of a penrose triangle over his right hip that he keeps quite secret]

Late Night

[wantswhatsbest]

{ Pinching his brow, shirt buttons mostly undone and rolled up to his shoulders, he can only shift the rest of the paperwork away from him for the moment as he let the pounding in his head slow. He poked an eye open just in time to catch a flash of pale skin, and a soft snort left him at the scar and tattoo on display. }
Certainly haven't been idly, have you, little brother.

Harvey Dent | Batman Nolanverse

[unbiasedchance]

[GEE, I WONDER WHAT HIS PROMINENT SCARS ARE???

aka burn scars all over the face, fuck you Maroni.]

7

[primogeniture]

They didn't exaggerate, I see.

[For all his forced calm, the eldest son of Carmine Falcone is very aware of his situation. Three weeks back in Gotham, and his driver is dead beside the car he'd been about to get into. And he's only a few feet away from the former district attorney. One false move, and there won't be time for the people of Gotham to judge whether he's returned to Gotham to revive his father's failing business and crime empire... or merely to make reparations for the evils of the mob. He's certainly pitching the second story, but he's a Falcone.

The best he could do was play the politician. Try to handle this threat the way he had law enforcement and reporters alike. Be bold but not stupid, open but not wholly honest, and try to get by with one more day.]

I understand someone put a bullet in old Sal. Rumor has it that the Bat did it. I owe him, if he did. Ruining my father's business, the way I hear it. Thought he could just take over the Falcone family.

Samus Aran | Metroid Series

[chozen]

[Samus is scarred in many a place because she needed to have her Power Suit surgically removed from her body once. Not only that, but one may notice the small beauty mark under the left side of her lip.]

1 let's ignore the drastic canon differences to make these hardcore gaming ladies meet

[willsurvive]

[It isn't often Lara gets to use a REAL, ACTUAL shower, with REAL SOAP, so it's understandable that she got a little over-anxious to utilize the facilities, and consequentially didn't notice there was already someone inside.]

OH-! Oh, I'm sorry.

[She quickly takes a step back and looks away, but the door's already shut. Damn it.

No, it's okay. She can roll with it. She's adaptive. It's a communal shower anyway, right? Still, that was a pretty memorable sight for a number of reasons, and it definitely looks like the sort of thing that wasn't intended to be viewed openly. Lara just moves to the shower on the opposite wall and hopes, really hopes, the other woman extends her the same courtesy of not gawking at her own scars. Frankly, she was hoping the place would be empty, too.]

I hope it's alright if I stay. It's been a while and I'm half expecting to leave enough dirt in this drain to choke the plumbing.

[She's not kidding. Most of her own scars are shrouded by caked mud and dirt and dust, except the ones that are hidden under her clothes, which are similarly grimy. It's hard not to look back over her shoulders, but scars are pretty much never happy memories.]

River Song | Doctor Who | OTA

[riverborntorun]

[All the scars from her childhood have been erased by regeneration, but she has the light discoloration of claw marks across her left hip.

And if you've got a UV light, somebody may have a tattoo in Gallifreyan on her person... ]

Garrus Vakarian | Mass Effect

[storming_heaven]

[None of the walk-in scenarios are necessary, as Garrus's scars are on his face. Most of his head is covered in a sort of scaley plating, but the right half of it is heavily marred and gouged into, with obvious burns on his exposed neck, too.

Bragging more likely than embarrassment. He likes to think having some battle damage showing impresses the ladies.]

[turretsexual]

[ooc - sorry, I'm fairly canon-blind, but space is space ;)]

[Axton sidles onto the barstool next to Garrus, motioning to the bartender for a beer. He was silent for the first three or four beers, downing them in steady succession. It wasn't until after the fourth that he even looked around and noticed Garrus seated to his left.]

Whoa. Get into a tangle with a skag and lose? [He's half interested and half teasing, sporting his own fair share of old and new wounds.]

Geir Úlfhrafn | Scion OC

[odinsscion]

[Geir has two scars. A long, thin one that goes from his waist and stops at his left shoulderblade the other is a stab wound beneath his bellybutton.]

5

[creepinacup]

[Byakuran lightly trailed the scared skin of the one he had under him. He had scars of his own, but that didn't mean that he couldn't be curious others scars.]

Looks like you have been doing some reckless things~

Veronica | Franken Fran | OTA

[stitchedupbodyguard]

[Ask her how she got those scars on her face.

And those scars on her hands.

And those scars on every other part of her as well.

Those stitches too.]

Robert Chase | House M.D. | OTA

[clinically]

[Three long deep slashes across his left buttock. Yes, it's canon.]

gabriel | supernatural

[messengerofgod]

[Big slashes across his shoulderblades where wings would be. And one right through the middle of his chest.]

6

[you_have_heart]

[It's early morning and the sun is just peaking though the shades. When he does sleep Loki isn't typically up this early, but today is an exception for reasons not even known to him.

The point is the light is streaming in and there's a warm body laying half on top of him. The way the sun comes through the windows perfectly highlights the rather large scars that adorn Gabriel's back. Softly he begins tracing the lines with the index finger of the hand not propping his head up.

He's not trying to wake Gabriel, but if he does he won't terribly mind.]

Leatherhead | TMNT (2012)

[bigsoftie]

[Leatherhead has two scars on his chest: they bear a pockmarked shape slashed across his chest bearing a white discoloration. On his hands and ankles there are metallic circles embedded in his skin.]

natasha romanoff ( black widow ) ⌛ marvel cinematic

[widowing]

[ whatever scars there are aren't very old, two or three years shy of a decade at the most, and the ones that are there are very faint. the red room wanted to keep her as unblemished as possible and spying becomes a much harder job when you've got identifying marks, especially the kind that show the fact that you get shot at on a semi-regular basis. these kind of surgeries aren't something she likes (it reminds her too much of things being erased, of being sculpted to fit a certain mold), but she accepts them as a necessary evil, as another part of the job.

she has no tattoos of her own, but there are times where she applies them as pieces of a disguise, when she needs to be someone who stands out in a crowd. those vary from being small but attention-grabbing, meant to catch your eye but not on the first glance, to being huge and elaborate, covering a significant expanse of skin. ]

1 + 5 i assume ( of course i go with the old standby )

[recalibration]

[ the water falls from the shower head in a steady warm stream, steam rising off it before it has a chance to hit the tile of the stall. it's more to his liking than hers, his blood never quite adapting to the st petersburg cold despite being there for two weeks time. at least now, out from being deeply embedded in their op, all intel retrieved with their bodies mostly intact, they can take advantage of the safehouse and thank their lucky stars it's nothing like the hole of an apartment they'd been in before. (russian winters are brutal enough without the heat being broken)

but natasha never seemed to flinch.

it's been different since new york. they still slip into their routine, though the silence stretches further in their coordinated dance—clean the wounds, check the gear, call for extraction, wait. all with barely a glance. before the adrenaline would draw them together, leave a giddy sort of flutter through him. physical manifestations of thankfulness to be alive he didn't intend to let go to waste. now they have this—silence in their shared show done for efficiency out of old habits (or so he tells himself).

he reaches out after a moment, her back to him as the water streams down her crimson hair and sticks at the milk pale of her shoulders. callous fingers find a scar running down her back, faint and old and singing with remnants of old stitches. ]

mia | evil dead.

[detoxes]

[Most of her left arm is missing. She keeps what's left bandaged up. There's a nasty scar on her right knee. On her left leg is a hand-shaped welt. It looks like someone - or something - burned her.]

2

[boomsticking]

[It's more of a lake; oh Michigan, you so landlocked. He's just finished rubbing sunblock onto the back of her left leg when his palm spreads open over her flesh.]

Huh. Never told me how you got this one.
