Only three choices

FUCK*, MARRY, OR KILL
a game with a twist




You know the game: now, let’s dabble in a version that’s a little bit unusual.

how to play
○ Do the comment do.
○ Folks line up to say whether they would fuck* (*kiss, if your character's underage or you're not into R-rated dialogue), marry, or kill your guy.
○ Rinse. Repeat. ♾️

Oh!

[Whoops! Wrong thing to say. She smiles apologetically before she leans in and kisses her hand]

I'm sorry. I mean no harm, Usa.
pink_is_back: (thinking)

[personal profile] pink_is_back 2024-08-18 06:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[She relaxes and the smile returns.]

What are you going to show me?

[personal profile] onewithwater 2024-08-18 06:33 pm (UTC)(link)
I can show you how to access the power if you wish.
pink_is_back: (Default)

[personal profile] pink_is_back 2024-08-18 06:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Then show me. Show me how you do it.

[And she'll take up her watery form as she steps away from Usa.]

Watch and learn. My kind focuses and gathers their specific element into their person and around them.

[She holds her hands out and concentrates, allowing water to form into a ball between them.]

[personal profile] pink_is_back 2024-08-18 06:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[She steps back, admiring the water form.]

I don't have an element.

[Is she the 'heart' that made Captain Planet? Maybe. She's more hope than anything else, which is sort of a problem for her.

She reaches out to poke the water ball.]

[personal profile] onewithwater 2024-08-18 06:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[The ball would ripple at the touch, staying firm in its form]

No element? Of course you have one. All people have them. It's just the matter of finding it.
pink_is_back: (blah blah blah)

[personal profile] pink_is_back 2024-08-18 07:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[She stuck her whole finger into the ball.]

And how do I do that?
onewithwater: PB is Maria Traydor of Star Ocean 3 (8)

[personal profile] onewithwater 2024-08-18 07:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[And Usa can see her finger enter the ball easily, rippling further as its was penetrated.]

First of all, you need to calm yourself. Hold your hands out and close your eyes and focus. Look inside for the feeling that is just right and then pull it towards you.
pink_is_back: (you take that back)

[personal profile] pink_is_back 2024-08-18 07:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[Her her a second. She's found a new toy. Poke, poke... multi-poke.]

I'll try.

[Calm herself. Focus.]

Focus on what?
onewithwater: PB is Maria Traydor of Star Ocean 3 (Default)

[personal profile] onewithwater 2024-08-18 07:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Try to focus on an element that feels familiar. Water, fire, wood, light, darkness... well, maybe not that one...
pink_is_back: (pic#17346592)

[personal profile] pink_is_back 2024-08-18 07:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[She sighs and closes her eyes. This is silly. She can barely focus when studying how can she focus on something she doesn't know?

She stays quiet for a couple minutes until opening her eyes with a huff.]


Nothing's happening.
onewithwater: PB is Maria Traydor of Star Ocean 3 (5)

[personal profile] onewithwater 2024-08-19 03:21 pm (UTC)(link)
You're not trying hard enough. How about this - focus on something you like. Do the same thing, but focus on something that you enjoy.
pink_is_back: (pic#17346615)

[personal profile] pink_is_back 2024-08-19 04:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[She scowls and takes a deep breath. Something she enjoys? She enjoys Marie. Baking. Sweets.]

Fine.

[Eyes closed, she tries again. Her brow furrows, seemingly frustrated at first. Then her face relaxes and there's a dim glow of a crescent moon upon her forehead.]
onewithwater: PB is Maria Traydor of Star Ocean 3 (7)

[personal profile] onewithwater 2024-08-19 04:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[She hated that snap, but it seems to have worked. She can see the glow of the crescent moon.]

...oh...
pink_is_back: (pic#17346607)

[personal profile] pink_is_back 2024-08-19 04:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[To be fair, had she tried this a couple years earlier, there would be dark energy crackling around her and something may have been damaged when she hit it. This is an improvement.

The moon shape gets brighter as she holds out her hands. A very faint orb takes shape, pure white in color.]
onewithwater: PB is Maria Traydor of Star Ocean 3 (8)

[personal profile] onewithwater 2024-08-19 04:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Look at that…

[She’s in awe at what Usa is pulling off. Light. She’s a light elemental.]
pink_is_back: (pic#17346553)

[personal profile] pink_is_back 2024-08-19 04:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[The focus is short-lived. She's trying her best but it's rolling around like wet soap and she can't keep hold of it. After a few seconds of light it fades away and she opens her eyes.]

Did I do it?

onewithwater: PB is Maria Traydor of Star Ocean 3 (8)

[personal profile] onewithwater 2024-08-19 04:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes! It was so cool! Usa, it was light!
pink_is_back: (pic#17346625)

[personal profile] pink_is_back 2024-08-19 05:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[She tilts her head, looking at her hands.]

Light?

[It makes sense, with how her and her mother's powers work.]

What can I do with light?
onewithwater: PB is Maria Traydor of Star Ocean 3 (Default)

[personal profile] onewithwater 2024-08-19 05:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Purification and creation. It’s quite versatile.
pink_is_back: (pic#17346591)

[personal profile] pink_is_back 2024-08-19 06:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Purification makes sense. That's... part of what my mother and I could do.

[She looks wistful, letting out a sigh.]

What would creation let me do?
onewithwater: (10)

[personal profile] onewithwater 2024-08-19 06:37 pm (UTC)(link)
You would be able to create and alter things to your liking. A greater scope more than I can.
pink_is_back: (pic#17346454)

[personal profile] pink_is_back 2024-08-19 06:39 pm (UTC)(link)
You mean I can create cake?

[She considers this and other possibilities.]

You can turn into water. Can I turn into light? Change what I look like?
onewithwater: PB is Maria Traydor of Star Ocean 3 (8)

[personal profile] onewithwater 2024-08-19 06:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, you can! Just about anything!

[She nods proudly.]

And yes, you can change how you look.
