Why be conventional?

Unconventional Couple

Saying: If it fits, it ships.

The Challenge: Respond to everyone who tags you, no matter how unexpected, crazy, or mismatched the characters are. Play a ship.

RULES
- Comment with your character and preferences. If you want, you can include a one sentence or so blurb about your character. But blank comments are fine.
- Tag to others.
- RNG for prompts. Prompts cannibalized from random memes.

Sweet
1. Can't deny it - you've tried to run from your feelings for so long and you can't do it anymore. It's time that you show the object of your affection exactly how you feel. Hopefully you don't lose everything in the process!
2. First time - it's your first time making love together. Is it awkward? Do you go all out or is it spur of the moment?
3. Accidental - you didn't actually mean to confess or kiss. They overheard you or it was an accidental kiss. Maybe you were just really drunk and let it slip!
4. Close as can be - you just want to make love and you've found a spot where it's just you and your partner, however you want it to be.
5. Happily ever after - somehow, you've made it work and you're both happy together, even if it meant you had to run away together.
6. Appreciation - show appreciation for your lover! With words, a look, or whatever your choice way to display affection is!
7. Cuddling - nothing wrong with a day of cuddling...
8. Vacation - you're on a vacation! Wherever you want to be. Road trip, amusement park, Grand Canyon, etc.
9. Family - you're visiting family! Maybe they find out about your relationship, maybe they already know, or however you want to play it out! Maybe you've got news you're starting a family by getting pregnant, adopting, or even getting a new pet.
10. Acceptance - someone who disapproved of your relationship before suddenly approves. How's that feel to you and your lover?
11. Surprise - you've planned a surprise! What is it?
12. Date - first date, second date, hundredth date, etc. What are you doing for it?
13. Reunited → it's been awhile since you've seen each other and nothing can ruin this moment.
14. Other - is there another scene you'd like to play out? Want to combine something? Do it here!

Angst
1. Conflict - you've just had a fight with your lover over your relationship or how you handle it. Can you find it in yourselves to forgive each other?
2. Cheated - your lover has cheated on you and you need to confront them about their reasons why and if you can work it out.
3. Found out - you've been found out by someone close to you and they're less than thrilled with your relationship.
4. Disgust - though they play along with it, they're secretly disgusted by the relationship they have with you and it finally comes out into the light.
5. Guilt - one of you is feeling guilty over your relationship, knowing it can never be truly normal or more than a secret.
6. Other - is there another scene you'd like to play out? Want to combine something? Do it here!

Comfort
1. Soothing touch - what better way to sooth your lover than to make love to them and show them that no matter what other people say, you're not going anywhere.
2. Fight for you - whoever has found out about your relationship is trying to hurt your lover and you're not going to let them.
3. Won't let you go - you need your lover to realize that you won't let them go, no matter what.
4. Back together - you broke up for a bit, but whatever it is between you two, you can't stay apart.
5. Injured - your lover was injured because of your relationship and it's time to patch them up.
6. Other - is there another scene you'd like to play out? Want to combine something? Do it here!

Twisted
1. Forced - you know your partner isn't interested in you like this, but you keep them going along with the relationship no matter what. Coercion, blackmail, whatever it takes.
2. Won't take no - their lips might say no, but you're not listening.
3. Control - you've given them some kind of potion to get your love interest to love you in return and they have to do whatever you say.
4. Recorded - you're not really interested in this forbidden love affair, but you must do it or you'll face some tough consequences.
5. Insult - you're cornered by those who disapprove of your relationship, hearing how filthy you are.
6. Other - is there another scene you'd like to play out? Want to combine something? Do it here!

Sexy
1. Rough - you want it rough and hard tonight. Bites, scratches, bruises, etc.
2. Toys - you want to try some props tonight... toys or fuzzy handcuffs.
3. Bondage - more extreme. You're tied up, used, forced to orgasm, whatever.
4. Make up - make up sex is the best sex.
5. Public - you're feeling a little wild so why not a blowjob under the tablecloth in a restaurant or sex in the car?
6. Interrupted - oh yes, oh yes, oh--who the hell is that watching us?!
7. Other - is there another scene you'd like to play out? Want to combine something? Do it here!

Ending
1. Left alone - you woke up to your lover trying to slip away in the night because of the strain of the relationship. Do you let them go or try and fight for it?
2. Torn apart - others are keeping you apart after they found out about your relationship, giving you only minimal contact. What do you do?
3. Ending fight - the argument has turned dirty and ends with one of you storming out.
4. Parting ways - both of you have decided to part ways. It's just so much easier.
5. Always love you - though you'll always love each other, maybe it's time the relationship goes back to being strictly platonic. It would be easier... or maybe that's just how one of you feels.
6. Other - is there another scene you'd like to play out? Want to combine something? Do it here!

[Would you be interested in an Anna? If so, any preference in prompts?]

[ I'd adore playing against an Anna! I've never had the chance to do that yet! I don't have a preference in prompts, no-- I'm open to anything and everything. ]

[Anna doesn't really know what to make of the dashing, mysterious stranger who showed up in Arendelle one day without any notice.

The way he dresses and styles his hair are so foreign, as is his accent, but... well, the princess has found herself charmed and, admittedly, smitten with the man. Elsa would tease her if she knew, telling her that she falls too easily. Besides, what do they know about Luxord anyway?

Anna might not know much about the gentleman, which means she needs to learn more!

It's not hard to find him with that bright blond hair and black cloak. Trying to be as sneaky as possible, she removes her shoes and follows him through the halls until he exits into the gardens. Everything seems to be going smoothly at first, that is, before she trips over a stone bench and goes stumbling.

Nice job, Anna.]

Oh! Hi! I was just... going to check on the flowers. Yep.

[ No, Luxord is most certainly not hard to find. It also helps that he rather appreciated Arendelle's beauty-- lacking a heart didn't take away all enjoyment, at least objectively speaking. The castle was a marvelous structure and the landscape was lovely, particularly this time of year, according the groundskeeper. He had a circuit he would walk. Outside to inside, halls to gardens, ever a creature of habit. It was nice to have the time to work slowly, get to know the area, before working on collecting hearts. Let mystery keep people both interested and at a distance from him.

But let it not be said that Luxord wasn't polite, either. If anything, he's always made it a point to be. ]

Princess. [ Luxord offers the greeting cordially (with ease and without surprise, really), reaches out to put Anna back to rights. Even going so far as to pick up her shoes if she happened to have dropped them. ] A pleasure to see you. Perhaps be a little more careful, mm?

[ Granted, of all the most interesting things in Arendelle, it's Anna. He's pondered if it's because of her heart. It's not so much that she has a heart and he doesn't. Well, not only because of it; there is a certain fire in Anna even Luxord could feel. Difficult not to be drawn to it. So, really, who is he not to let this play out? If Anna is curious, who is he to deny her?

Luxord's mouth tips up, offering Anna a slight, charming, if but cool smile. Her... interest, hadn't gone entirely unnoticed. ]

Ah, my manners-- the flowers are luckier than I for having your company. Care to grace me with your attention for a time afterwards?

(M/F and canon through "Knock,Knock", would like to skip ending and twisted and if in doubt just ask!)

ooc: No forced relationship please.

Even with 210 years worth of debris and grime in a post-Nuclear fallout world there is still something magical about Nuka-World - especially since the traders have been liberated and there are no raiders shooting the place up. There is still a lot of work the park needs to get it fully functional again - or at least as functional as such a place can be after a nuclear explosion. It might not be quite as perfect as it was pre-war, but it's still a wonderful place.

N.I.R.A clunks and clatters as she wanders around Nuka Town USA. The music loops constantly in the background, the bright park lights twinkle and sparkle against the clear night sky.

Nora sits atop Fizztop Grille armed with a couple of boxes of funnel cakes and candyfloss and a few bottles of Nuka cola as she awaits her companion's arrival.

"Someone really needs to do something about that loop," The Doctor comments aloud, as the elevator he is standing on brings him up to the Fizz Top Grill. He is decked out in a bean-crow mask and a bright green sweater and fury pants to make it so he fits in with the rest of the patrons of the park. But then again, The Pack and the rest of the gangs have been pushed out from the park proper. And he stuck around to help Nora with the Traders. But it was her willingness not to seek out the greed of the gangs that kept him from leaving. And perhaps it is the radiation in the air, but The Doctor start to see Nora as someone more than just another person to help.

And with a cheeky smile well hidden under the mask, The Doctor holds up a box of cotton candy puffs and a box with some grilled ant and rad-rat with a side of corn and tato. "I thought it would be nice if we ordered out tonight!" He hops off the rickety lift and he steps into the remains of what was once a buzzing restaurant. The view was a bit depressing by his standards, but he is going to do his best to keep things positive.

"I just hope you're okay with giant ant steaks," The Doctor places the box of food on the bar top, and he removes the mask from his face and there is still a smile on his face.

But the Nuka-World song is so cheery! Admittedly, after the twentieth or thirtieth loop in makes you want to stab yourself in the ear drums, but still, it's cheery music in a not so cheery world. "I can always tune in to Diamond City Radio on my Pip-Boy if you prefer..."

The Doctor's smile is met with an equally bright smile from Nora as she stands to greet him. "If I had known you were taking me to dinner then I would've made more of an effort to dress up." The corners of her eyes crinkle as she laughs soft. "I see you dressed up for occasion - you pull off furry pants pretty well."

Nora uncaps a couple of the bottles of cola and offers one to him. "Ant sounds great."

"Oooh, I'd love that!" The Doctor is in love with how this world managed to find a soft spot for Bing Crosby and Ella Fitzgerald. The classics truly shine on like the brightest star in the galaxy. The Doctor sways along to the imaginary music, as he reaches his hand into the box to pull out the uncooked chunks of giant ant, and he manages to find some carrot to go with the corn.

He likes the furry pants, they're comfortable and the bright green sweater isn't half-bad. It lets him fit in, and it means he doesn't have to worry about his beloved coat. The Doctor whips around on his feet, smile on his face. "Of course, I pull off the furry pants just fine. And even you look smashing!"

His eyes dart down towards the now irradiated cola, and thank goodness he isn't human or he might have some trouble. The Doctor takes a bottle, and he takes a drink. "Ah, Nuka Cherry, you would have thought that they would have come out with a Nuka Banana."

She tunes the radio to Diamond City Radio. Travis' voice filters over the waves with news from the Commonwealth. He has really grown in confidence. The days of him being a muttering, nervous wreck are long gone. Nora unfastens the Pip-Boy from her wrist and sets it aside on the table so the white light can filter across the room, casting a soft glow over everything. Her wrist feels so strange without the cumbersome device strapped to it. It's almost become a part of her. She'd be lost without it, that's for sure.

"Banana? Man... I've not had a banana since... well, since before the War." If she tries really hard, she can just remember their wonderful taste, smell, texture. It gets harder to recall such things the longer she survives in this world.

"But Nuka Banana? Seriously?" She arches a brow at the Doctor. "That sounds revolting... I'll stick with Nuka Cherry."

The Doctor listens to Travis' voice on the radio, and he is making it a point to one day pay the DJ a visit to offer him some pointers and some records. And soon he's dancing around on the balls of his feet, as he reaches for a knife to begin chopping up the bits of ant.

"Yeah, banana! Bananas are good and a great source of potassium!" The Doctor wonders if there is somewhere on planet Earth where bananas still grow. Even mutated bananas might not be too bad. And he takes his Nuka Cherry, and takes a great big sip of it following it up with an 'Ah!' He takes the big pieces of ant and he goes to place them on a plate. He looks over his shoulder at Nora, with a smile on his lips still.

"But cherry is good, but banana would be so much better."

Damn it, Doctor. Now Nora wants a banana. Or an apple - and not those Dandy Boy boxed ones either. A real, proper one fresh off the branch. There are a lot of Pre-War food stuffs Nora really misses. Not to mention all the home comforts Pre-War life offered.

"No way. Banana Nuka would be gross. And since you don't have any bananas to prove otherwise, I'm going to assume I am right about this." Nora laughs soft and takes a sip of her own Nuka Cherry.

"Now crepes... Crepes were something bananas went amazingly with."

"Maybe if it wasn't colay it would be fine. Banana flavored sugar water would be fine without adding the cola flavor," The Doctor continues to cut up the big chunks of ant. And then he tries to mince them the best he can.

But the meer mention of banana crepes makes The Doctor sigh. "Now if we started walking south, perhaps we would get lucky. Or maybe there's something that is banana flavored hidden in someone's cupboard." He laughs and he reaches a hand for his NukaCherry. He takes a sip, and he ahs. "Still, Cherry isn't a bad flavor. But it isn't banana."

"Shame we don't have any to test your theory. I bet we could get the bottling factory up and running again now we've restored power to the park - if you ever happen to run across any south or anywhere else you be sure to bring 'em by and we'll make banana-y, sugary gloop and call it soda."

Maybe they could try mutfruit or melon in the meantime or even tarberry. Sugar is easy enough to come by if you know where to look. It's an idea to consider for a rainy day, that's for sure.

Nora smiles at the thought of it and takes a sip of her drink. "You need a hand over there?"
