In the company of wolves

[asoftermeme]

little red riding hood; ✦ Snowlight, moonlight, a confusion of paw-prints. All silent, all still. Midnight; and the clock strikes. It is Christmas Day, the werewolves' birthday, the door of the solstice stands wide open; let them all sink through. See! sweet and sound she sleeps in granny's bed, between the paws of the tender wolf. ✧ Should you really be in a place like this? You're a good kid, and this the deep, dangerous woods - literally or metaphorically. Here, there be dragons; more accurately, here their be wolves, of the big and bad variety, hungry to the core. And they're waiting for pretty young things, especially those in red hoods, because they want to gobble you up. But not with teeth and with claws (not usually), for they can lure you to your destruction in delectable, devious, wicked ways. You way want that, though. That may be why you're here in the first place. You're not so pure, are you? Then again...you may be the wolf yourself. What you're after is the hunt, the prey you know you can swallow whole. ✧ What big eyes you have The kind of eyes that drive wolves mad So just to see that you don't get chased I think I ought to walk with you for a ways What full lips you have They're sure to lure someone bad So until you get to grandma's place I think you ought to walk with me and be safe ✦ ✧ HOW TO PLAY ✦ Pretty obviously, this meme is based off of the fairytale of Little Red Riding Hood, which has commonly been interpreted to be about sexual awakening and seduction. It's also inspired by the short story "In the Company of Wolves" by Angela Carter, which is worth a read. ✦ Feel free to play this scenario as completely straight (ie characters with wolf ears, werewolves, literal fairytale settings) or as allegorical (a young, inexperienced character going into a bar full of bikers, etc). ✦ Similarly, bring along any kinks you'd enjoy. Underage/lolita, non-con, dub-con, fully consensual, knotting, animal mating drives, the list goes on and on. You can do pretty much anything. ✦ Reply with your character, preferences, and what role they'll take: Big Bad Wolf (or not so bad wolf, as it may be) or Little Red. ✦ Reply to others. ✦ Thread! ✦ LITTLE REDS Innocent ✧ You're really in over your head, an ingenue caught up in a most carnal situation. In Sheep's Clothing ✧ The red cape's an illusion; you're a wolf, or a maneater, looking to earn trust before you strike and get just what you want, and that's their body for your pleasure. Tempted ✧ You know you shouldn't leave the beaten path, but walking on the wild side is calling your name. Empowered ✧ In the end, it is your decision to indulge in your own desires. You're no helpless waif. Not So Sweet ✧ The innocent and pure look is just to get those "big bad wolves" coming your way. You know what you like, and you like it rough. Hidden ✧ You have a side that's dark, a bad side that's just begging to be punished. You have to keep it secret, though, or you may not even realize it's there yet yourself. Purify ✧ Even the bad can be swayed by the good, and the goodies in your basket are just sweet enough to tide the beast over. Fallen ✧ Once you were the hero of the story. Now, the sex and the lust have driven you down a darker road. Beauty Loves the Beast ✧ What should have been only a little, luscious death has become more. You love your wolf so, you won't let anything happen to them when the hunters come. ✦ WILDCARD ✧ BIG BAD WOLVES Bad ✦ Every moment of being the monster is something you enjoy. There's never enough precious little treasures to whet your appetite. Reforming ✦ Your days of being the bad wolf are over and done with...that is, until you're dragged back into your wily ways by the forbidden fruit. Rough Around the Edges ✦ Actually, you're good, for what you are. As it stands, everyone has their vices, and even you can't stay away from someone walking into your neck of the woods. Corrupter ✦ You know you destroy innocence and you adore every minute of it. Finders Keepers ✦ They were wandering into your territory, so you'll keep them as a pet. Not What You Seem ✦ You appear as if you'd be the Huntsman in this tale, but you're only hiding your teeth. Romantic ✦ Even a wild beast has a heart. Still, how did they worm their way into yours? What Big Teeth You Have ✦ All the better to eat you with, my dear. Oh, and you are a biting one. Reverse ✦ How does it feel when you're the prey, instead? There's a certain rush, though, you can't deny. ✧ WILDCARD

[Saya watched Snow curiously. On his first day here, he felt rather uncomfortable too. The city may have carried awful memories but it was what he knew and what he was used to. So to see Snow react to all these things that were foreign to him was...strange, but understandable. If things were to end up going well, he would absolutely hope that Snow could get used to having a roof over his head.

He wanted to continue to hold hands but after giving the other another reassuring squeeze, he pulled his hand away and giggled.]

You have noooo idea~ [Many drinks. C.C. Lemon, Calpico, some fizzy purple stuff that might or might not be alcoholic. Although none of these except for C.C. Lemon were in the house. They tended to keep the sodas and sweeter drinks at the restaurants while consuming water, tea, and coffee at home.

Maybe it would be too soon to invite Snow out to try beer or tequila. Maybe it would be too troubling if he did. Yeah...another time.]

There are drinks that taste fruity and there's also tea and coffee! And even then, there are a lot of different kinds. [He gestured Snow to follow him to the kitchen, which had that "new paint smell" that was so easily identifiable.
S
He rummaged through the fridge to find something that he thinks Snow might like and pulled out a pitcher full of a cold, dark and translucent liquid. If Snow could smell and identify barely, that was exactly what it was; barley tea with a hint of a nuttiness that resembled brown rice.] This is super good to have cold in the summer. Do you want to give it a try?

[princessdude]

[Of course he felt uncomfortable stepping inside of a human building. He kept to the forest outside of this small human settlement. He got enough problems just from walking out on open fields if a human happened to see him. They just never wanted to see past the fact that he were a wolf. He were more then a wolf and a beast, bu so few humans understood that.

Tilting his head to the side as he listen to Saya talking about drinks he had no idea hat they were, Snow pulled the beanie off from his head. The yukata felt kind of nice having on now that he had gotten more used to it, but needing to keep his ears pressed down wasn't as pleasant.] You do know that I have no idea what either tea or coffee is, right?

[Following into the kitchen, Snow scrunched his nose up before even stepping his foot into the room. What kind of smell was that? It made his nose itch and he sneezed violently. How could humans stand that smell? Their sense of scent must be incredibly poor for them to not care about it.] What is that scent? It hurts my nose.

omg the typos I made in that tag...so sorry!

[gyaruo]

[True. Snow was in for quite an experience with anything virtually man made. Coffee could wait for another time...he didn't want to introduce him to caffeine and risk a hyper wolfperson.]

It's um...barley? [It was its own scent as far as he could describe it. Snow's sneeze had him burst out laughing. If only he had kept the beanie on because it would have been even more comical to have seen it fly off from the force of his sneezes alone.

His laughter died down to a smile before he took a good whiff of the drink. With a hum, he let out a content sigh.] I love the smell of this. It always makes me think of summer! Here, I'll pour us some.

[He did so in a couple of glasses with ice and handed Snow one of them.] Cheers~

Don't worry about them, I probably didn't even noticed half of them anyway

[princessdude]

No, not the drink, this room. What is wrong with it? It smells so bad. [Snow rubbed at his nose with his knuckles in a futile attempt to force the smell of paint out from his nose. Not that he had any idea that it was the new paint he had a problem with. He had never been close enough to a building getting repainted for the scent to reach him before.] How can you not be bothered by this? It is overwhelming!

[Taking the glass in hand, Snow started to sniff at the drink to screen away that foul smell. It help a bit since he now could actually smell the barley compared to before, but unwilling as he were to move his nose away he couldn't really taste it.]

[gyaruo]

Mmm? We've just moved in though...ah! That's probably the paint. [Saya went over to the window above the kitchen sink to open it. It wasn't a quick fix solution, but it would air out the smell a bit at least.] Sorry, we've had it painted before we moved in so I guess the smell's still pretty strong. [Especially for Snow, of which now Saya felt bad.]

It should go away in a couple of days. Are you okay though? I'm going to start cooking something for us so the kitchen will start smelling super good, I promise!

[princessdude]

Why are you willingly putting things that smells this bad in your homes? [Humans really were strange. At least Saya made an attempt to make it easier for him. Not everyone would do that. With the window open to air out some of that paint stench he at least could taste the tea. Snow took a small, careful sip of the drink. Well it did not taste bad, but he didn't really know where to place it.]

I will live. It is just making my nose itch in a most annoying way. If food will mask this scent then by all means go on.

[gyaruo]

[Saya shrugged as he looked through the fridge, not quite sure how to answer that.] It makes the house look nicer, I guess. Ours is pretty basic though, since it's mostly white.

[He pulled out some basic ingredients, including some ground beef and vegetables. It was a little too warm for soup, but the ground beef gave him an idea for hamburg steak.]

I got it! [He placed the ingredients on the island and grinned at Snow.] Do you want to help? I can teach you. [He went over to the sink behind him to wash his hands, turning his head back to gesture Snow over.] If you do, come wash your hands first.

[princessdude]

Why does that matter? Isn't function the most important thing? [Things looking nice wasn't a concept he were used to. A home were to keep the elements at bay, right? Why did it then have to look nice? That would not do anything. Humans really were strange for putting up with such inconveniences just for something to look good. Not that he really minded the look, it was just odd.]

I think I will pass. I have no idea how to use your human tools or even know what they are called. Except for knives that is.
