SOULMATES


The Soulmate Meme

A soulmate (or soul mate) is believed by some to be the person with whom one has a feeling of deep or natural affinity, similarity, love, sex, intimacy, sexuality, spirituality, or compatibility.

In our world, the concept of soulmates is quaint, but frankly antiquidated. But somewhere out there, in the vast cosmos, there is a world that still values this tradition. No, not just values. Society is practically built around it. After all, they've found the powers of the soulmates. When they're together, both halves of the whole can find a peace that is desired by all; not only that, either, but also the two can unlock the. Everyone is believed to have a soulmate, and those who have yet to find there's a sense of emptiness that cannot be filled by other distractions. There are few limits on who can be destined for each other. The fates have often chosen people completely opposite of each other, some even on opposing sides or factions. Attraction between soulmates is instantaneous upon the first meeting, though relationship styles can very. It's almost always romantic, but sometimes not sexual, despite that usually being the case. Some even say that procreation can only be done by soulmates, but that's only a rumor and highly untested. Yet this bond is not always sunlight and rainbows. You'll practically feel each other emotions

The problem, of course, comes in finding one (if you even want to at all, as some rebel against the system as much as they can). How many people are out there, and what's the probability of finding them in a lifetime? What if they're not in the same country or even the same planet! There's also the dilemma of having only one soulmate. Though people can have plenty of lovers, those in this world can only find true satisfaction from their other half.

It's a twisted and difficult web, and sometimes unmatched people can face prejudice from those around them and the established order, but finding that one special person is said to trump all of that.

HOW TO PLAY:
1. Comment with your character
2. Reply around, using whatever option you want OR the RNG.
3. Play out some threads. Be soulmates, friends, other lovers, etc.
Prompts
1. First Meeting: You'll feel the spark almost on first sight. Yes, he's not your type. No, she's is a villain and your a hero. It doesn't matter. You can't chose these things.
2. Not Accepting: No, this person can't be it! They're so...so not what you've expected!
3. We Belong Together: You've decided to come together, like it's intended, and you're reaping the benefits.
4. Like Ships in the Night: The obligatory sex option. The two of you are cementing your bond in the most traditional of ways, and you'll soon learn that sex with others can't compare to sex with someone who's completely yours.
5. Stronger as Two: In battle or in life, the two of you combined are unstoppable.
6. There's Someone Else You've met your soulmate...but you're with someone else. Now that you know your other half is out there for sure, can you keep that up?
7. Love Will Tear Us Apart: Someone is hurting one half of the pair, and it's bringing pain to both of you. Maybe you can protect or save the other.
8. Not Fortune's Fool: You're flying solo. You have no intention of becoming a matched pair. Forget about what anybody else says, just focus on you.
9. Soulmates Never Die: Except when they do. Somehow, yours has passed on or is dying in your arms, leaving you alone in the world. How do you feel?
10. WILDCARD: Choose your own.

They have their scars. They have many of them, really, between Elliot's back and Rachel's shoulders and Edgar's ribs; between the lives they've lived so far that have been rough in one way or another.

They have their bruises. Sparring together always results in a fascinating display of color on their skin.

What Elliot likes best (what he imagines they all do) are the days when the scars don't ache with remembered pain. When the only bruises are the ones they leave on each other out of love.

It's a little mean, perhaps, for Rachel and Elliot to be so intent on marking each other when they know Edgar's in a meeting. It's entirely possible, though, that the two of them never promised to be very nice.

At least they're good enough to make sure it's all in spots Edgar's clothes were covering, today. More or less.

There's something lovely about sharing the scars they have. There's something lovely about knowing that they can carry the marks together, even if the pain itself had been somewhat scattered.

And there's something nice about the continuous little reminders of one another. It's nice having little knicks and dings pop up now and then, proving that they're all still alive--that nothing can stop them.

It's also nice to have physical reminders of their time together. It's incredibly nice to feel Elliot's teeth on Rachel's neck and Rachel's nails along Elliot's neck. Except, well.

Except when the Tens are listening to the Jack and his skin couldn't stop exploding with the wonderful knowledge that the other two pieces of his soul were enjoying each other's company. Except when one of his hands had to shift abruptly to cover just above the edge of his collar.

He does try to scowl when he gets home, calling out when he finally manages to pull his collar back down. "--bunch of jerks."

[The day is here. The day they'd all known would eventually come, ever since middle school. Minako has the windows open as she gets dressed, allowing a breeze to blow through and rustle the papers and train tickets tossed haphazardly on the table. But the wind seems to bring something else with it, too - something souring the happiness she feels for her Princess and Prince.

It's not like this marks the end of her duty. Just the opposite. Many battles were fought for everyone to make it this far, and she knows her leadership played some part in that, even if it's small. But the melancholy is different. It's not a bruise on her pride, or worry about losing a friend, and certainly nothing like disappointment...

Something else. Something she doesn't want to think about. As she finishes painting her last pinky nail, she sighs and flops down onto her hotel bed theatrically. It'd be nice if Artemis were here. He's probably off helping Luna get ready, or even Mamoru. He's not here with her, that's for sure.

Just as she's thinking of calling someone, there's a knock at the door. Not wanting to mess up her nails by turning the doorknob (and not wanting to get up, either) she calls out to the visitor.

It's unlocked! Come in!

He'll have to follow the sound of laughter from the bedroom, in order to actually address the jerks in question. They'll certainly be encouraging him that way by leaving very pointed hickeys on one another in response to the call.

When he does make his way there, Elliot will pause in marking Rachel and giggle just a little against her skin.

"What?" he replies, shifting to grin at the other young man, "We've been good."

"Mostly," Rachel adds, touching the bruise just a little above her collarbone that matches the one peeking out from under Edgar's skin.
