the s c a r s meme

Most everyone has some sort of scars. Some are from happy accidents. Some are from events you'd rather not speak about. But sometimes, two people can share a moment over scars: Be it friendly, romantic, or with a complete stranger. These are those moments.

01. new: the scar is fairly new. maybe you still need to do something to make sure it heals more properly. maybe you're just worried about the new scar that's appeared on someone you care about.
02. discovery: you've just had someone find out about your scars, or you've just accidentally learned that the other person has scars. do you say something, or let the moment pass uncommented on?
03. shame: maybe you're ashamed of your scars. maybe you want someone else to know that there's no need to hide their scars around you.
04. show: you're proud of your scars, or at least you don't see a reason to keep them covered-- never have, or not anymore. or maybe someone is showing you their scars for the first time.
05. story: it's time to talk about the story behind your scars. or, perhaps, it's time to listen to someone tell you about how they came about their scars.
06. touch: maybe you want someone to touch your scars so you can remind yourself you're still here. maybe you want to touch their scars because you want to show them you don't mind them.
07. attraction: you've heard that people like someone with scars, so you're flaunting them, or you're the person very attracted to someone with scars.
08. kiss: letting this person kiss your scars may be a moment of extreme vulnerability, or just something you like. kissing someone else's scars may be just what you need to do to show someone how much you care.
09. soulmate: you live in a world where your soulmates scars appear on your own skin. what's that like?
10. other: wildcard option.

[ re-voicetesting! prefs. either role, handwave injuries as needed. ]

( info in journal! she has various scars all over her body, but her coloration is one big sensitive scar. good with all prompts, either role, gen or shippy! )

[No 1 or 9. He has massive scarring on his back, part of a pact written in infernal that his vampire master carved on him.

Tavs/Durges, companions and cross-canon welcomed. Also happy to play him fussing over your character's scars]

( She doesn't have any notable ones, the Astral Express crew take good care of her. But tell her one of yours. )

either/both. most prominent is the brand on his shoulder.

unless he’s been injured and unable to repair, he has none, so likely not the subject.

[Saunters over here now. Would you like to peruse his scars, Gale. Or Astarion can fuss over something on him if you'd like]

[She has a burn scar that criss-crosses her face, with a tattoo of the Tree of Life that partially covers it. The scarring continues down the left side of her neck and shoulder and on scattered patches on her flank and legs.

Probably not prompt 9 but I'm otherwise open to whatever!]

[ WHY NOT BOTH shadowheart has bigger wounds to heal so the losers club has to help each other post-fight. Let the nerd try to translate infernal!! ]

[An excellent compromise. Want any romance? Together already, or both being flirty nerds but not having hooked up yet, or...?]

[for the sake of the game he's got some pretty gnarly scars he keeps hidden.]

[ ALWAYS ROMANCE. Maybe flirting and hitting their breaking point here? ]

[ Only one scar on his inner right wrist that comes with a warning for self-harm. (m/m for any shippy business.) ]

[Cosmetic fixes aren't a priority when you're on the run, so Arid's armor still bears the marks of her misadventures - most prominently, the plating on her lower back is crumpled after being wrenched outward and bent back into place, and she has a series of patched puncture wounds around her head. She might be seeking a chance to fix the damage or sympathizing with/getting nosy about someone else's.]

[The battle had been large, and messy. The ambush on the inn had taken everyone by surprise, and in effort to not only save Isobel but what Tiefling refugees were still alive, the companions had to scatter. It was just by happenstance that Astarion remained near Gale, and for no other reason, and at one point he hears him cry out in pain. When he turned, he saw one of the fiends near him, Gale gripping a bloodied part of his body but spinning to try and attack it back. Astarion had beat him to the punch with an arrow through the ghoul's head.

He lost track of him as the fight continued. Once it was over, what few healers there are are busy, and exhausted. Astarion himself only has some surface wounds that could wait, or heal on their own with a good drink of blood, however he couldn't help but notice there was no Gale waiting to be helped. That insufferable wizard, now Astarion had to go find him and drag him out to be healed.

Having poked around most of the inn with no luck, he opens the door to the last room he hasn't looked in yet and calls out as he does:]

Gale...?

(( He does seem to have some new ones ))

(come reflect on a baby immortal who doesn't have any scars at all)

[give him all your scar stories let him be intrusive and touchy-feely about them thx]

[ he's literally covered in them, though he probably won't talk about some of them. ]
