mates for life.

[noregretsanon]

the MATES FOR LIFE meme The one conceit of this meme: humans (or human-expies, whatever beings they may be) mate for life. With this comes the typical trappings of "mating for life" - indescribable closeness, contentment around your "destined," and, of course, in your all-too-familiar worst case, jealousy and rage should the bond be threatened. Oh, and there's also the little caveat that, should your mate die, you die as well. But that's not too much to swallow, is it? The whole thing is only a small conceit, you know. HOW TO PLAY Comment with your character and preferences. Reply to others, using the RNG or not at your pleasure. Thread. PROMPTS romanticism | You approach the potential of mating with a dreamy hope. It will be just like a romance novel! distaste | Ugh, mating? You're going to put it off...or maybe even try not to do it at all. imprint | That's them. That's the one. You both know it, and you can't keep away. first | The first time you come together sets the bond in stone, not to mention sets the stage for the rest of your lives. share | Some mates are able to communicate and share their secrets through a mental link; others have to do it the old fashioned way and just speak up. calm | When one partner goes berserk, there's only one person in this world who can get them to settle down. comfort | Merely being in the presence of your mate can turn your stormy day around. heal | Scars, mental or physical, can be mended with the right love from a mate. need | Your body is going through actual physical withdrawal due to being away from your one and only. protect | Whether the threat be real or jealously perceived, you have to keep what's yours from harm. obsessed | You're beyond jealous. You've taken it too far mistake | Mating with them was not the right decision, but you can't take it back. cheat | Despite your being mated, you've chosen to break a sacred trust and go outside the home. death | There's not much will left to live in you after your mate has passed. Even if there was, it's not like you have much of a choice not to die. old mated couple | You've lasted a long time. This may be your "happy ending."

[Dezel's hair sways with the wind - his native element - as he stands his ground on the tipping boat. Whoever thought to put a hunk of wood in water and make it float was a weird one. The planks that were usually varnished were now slippery with the blood of the men he had just killed, slitting their throats with the wire of his pendulums. His smile revealed the glint of his serrated teeth.]

I hope I didn't get any of that crap on you. Maybe the next time you get kidnapped, you should wear a red shirt, Princess.

[It was a bad joke, but considering what she has just witnessed, maybe lightening up the mood would work. Maybe. At least she wasn't dead. Aside from the thought of experiencing death because someone else kicked the bucket, he's become fond of her. Probably not the best way to show it, spattering her in the blood of pirates intending on selling her off.]

wooooooowwwwwwwwww

[leekspins]

[Orihime doesn't say anything. There's no blood on her person, but she's still a little shell-shocked at the brutal slaughter of the pirates. Her wrists still hurt from the bindings they'd fastened on her, now gone. There's a strong, strong urge to use her powers to undo the carnage inflicted on them. Dezel might not like it much, but leaving them all as corpses is difficult for her to manage.]

[The problem is, restoring them only ensures that other people will be in danger. Orihime surely isn't the first girl they've kidnapped with the intention of selling her into slavery. Maybe if there were some sort of law agency or prison to put them once they're healed, she'd heal their injuries. However, she doesn't want to be the one that saves the lives of pirates at the cost of other innocents they'd choose to harm.]

[She looks at Dezel, then at the pirates, carefully picking her way toward him. Being 'mates' is still a strange sensation, but she can definitely feel the difference his presence makes. When they'd dragged her onto the boat in the middle of the night, she'd thought for sure she would never see Dezel again, thought he'd never be able to find her. And yet, here he is, and she's safe.]

[Her smile is tremulous as she looks up at him...just before she throws her arms around his middle and hugs him as tightly as she dares.]

Thank you. Really...thank you so much.

[prettyflyforablindguy]

[He just stands there for a moment, unsure of this sensation. Being touched was different, to be sure. How was he supposed to react? How do humans do this thing again? He tentatively puts his hands on her shoulders before sliding them into an embrace.]

I know it ain't pretty. But I wasn't going to let them take you away, either. Unless you wanted that. If that's the case, I'm sorry.

[It sounds sarcastic, but he honestly didn't mean it that way. He just didn't know how to deal with other people, especially ones that insist on being nice to him. It almost made him feel bad for treating them like tools. Almost.]

How about we get you home and cleaned up?

((And then I saw Lucifer's username while typing. Least I noticed before Dean actually ended up with him. Is there a prompt in mind? And Gabriel staying an archangel or swapping to human so a billions-year-old being isn't screwed by Dean being taken out by a monster/getting old? :-P))

[impala_is_my_baby]

Well that was certainly very lucky:P

[impala_is_my_baby]

[[ so do you want to start or should I?]]

[babyinatrenchcoat]

((ooooh I like this one. Any preferences on what Dean might want? Any prompts you like?))

[[small] how does imprint sound to you?]]
