Scheherazade / Harem Shipping Meme
Straight out of the Arabian Nights, or any variety of the spin-offs and spoofs since, in a beautiful and fantastical realm of magic and djinn. You may be the great ruler, prince, or sultana of the realm, or you may be the tribute, captive, or arranged marriage spouse brought before that ruler.


Scenarios:
1. Arranged Marriage - You’re both royals or nobles of some variety, but one of you has been sent far from home to be wedded to a stranger in a foreign land.
2. Ambition - You’re just one beauty in a harem of dozens—or hundreds—but you’re determined to stand out, to earn the exclusive attention of the ruler, and to take your place by their side as the ruler of this land.
3. Scheherazade - One night with the king (or queen). Perhaps your one-night spouse had their heart broken, like in the story. Perhaps they’re simply a monster, or they have other motives. They may kill you in the morning, unless you can convince them to delay, by at least one more day.
4. Tribute - Perhaps your land was conquered, or perhaps you’ve been sent here to secure an alliance. Either way, this wasn’t your idea, and you aren’t particularly happy about it.
5. Within the Harem - Both characters are residents of the harem. You hardly see the ruler, and they don’t matter. What does matter is the friendship—or love—that you have found within the harem, and, possibly, your plans for escape.
6. Outside the Harem - You’ve fallen in love with someone you shouldn’t. A guard, a servant, or someone outside the palace entirely. But in order to be with them, you’re going to have to break all the rules.
7. Arabian Nights - Wildcard scenario, play any elements from the Arabian Nights that you please. Magic carpets, powerful djinn, curses and treasure!

How to play:
-Post with your character, preferred role (ruler, harem, other), and any other relevant info
-Reply to others. Use RNG or choose your favourite scenario!

((totally here for some sort of arranged marriage scenario on the ship end of things; for more gen-ish options, some sort of summoned djinn or castle guard would work for me. I'm pretty flexible, so I'm sure we can work something out))

He'd wound up there quite by accident, opened up a hole in time and space and found himself caught up in the net of a scrapper before he could send himself back. They'd figured out quick enough how to keep him from getting off any magic, gagged in addition to the usual chip by the time he was presented to the Grandmaster, unable to express more than muffled grumblings as the scrapper tried to barter, trying to twist free of the gag.

His eyes flit to the man, the Grandmaster, and he momentarily ceased his struggles, trying to express his willingness to cooperate. If he'd just take the gag off...

(OoC: Might be overextending myself, but... 5? I don’t mind the other.)

[5 sounds good to me!! <3 ]

[srf_archer]

Reimi let out a sigh as she looked out the window. Soon, it would be time to make a move, but at the same time, she worried - oh, sure their captor had a lot of women by his side, but what if someone noticed? Someone who had no qualms of ratting someone out?

That was a risk she had to make, wasn't it? Of course, Reimi didn't want to go at it alone, reaching over to pet her friend Xion on the head.

"Are you okay?" she asked.

[imaginary_vector]

Xion's head was in very good petting distance, considering it was resting right in Reimi's lap. She had, of late, taken to resting on one of Reimi's legs as the two sat, whenever they both had any sort of, er, breaks together.

"Mmm." she said. "Are you?"

[srf_archer]

“Yeah, I am... just a bit worried, though.” Reimi admitted, running her hand through Xion’s short hair.

[imaginary_vector]

Xion nodded, nuzzling Reimi's hand. "I know. It'll be okay, though." The plan, as she saw it, was to take action after a night where both of them were summoned at once. Therefore, it would be a while before anyone would care enough to look for them again.

Xion, with her short hair and slender body, tended to cater to a more specific mood, though. When she was summoned, she was usually dressed in boys' clothing.

[srf_archer]

“You’re right. It will be.” Reimi said, smiling as Xion nuzzled her hand. It was probably luck that their captor let Reimi keep her clothes - it made her look like some great hero and it made it wonderful for her to be humiliated in defeat. “Should it just be us two?”

[imaginary_vector]

Xion frowned for a moment as she thought. "It would be.. harder.. to get more people out without notice." she said.

[srf_archer]

Reimi let out a soft sigh at that. “I guess you’re right.” She admitted. “I guess I wanted another few of us to join in...”

Her hand moved to Xion’s cheek.

[imaginary_vector]

Xion was silent for a moment as she let Reimi caress her cheek. She had a conflicted look on her face, and then, she seemed to decide on something.

"...My twin sister..."

[srf_archer]

“Your twin?” Reimi said, blinking. “Are you certain...?”

[imaginary_vector]

"Yeah." she said. It was no secret that Xion's twin, Kairi, was the favorite. She was serving more nights than she wasn't, anyway.

It was also no secret that despite being twins, the girls really didn't like each other very much at all. Which made it all the more humiliating when they were forced to serve together, and to perform acts on each other.

[srf_archer]

“Oh, dear...” Reimi mused. She knew of the animosity the two had towards each other. That would make the rescue difficult. But, at the same time, if Kairi knew Xion was the one who suggested this.

“If anything happens between you two, I may have to cut my losses...” she admitted. “I don’t want you two fighting the entire time...”

[imaginary_vector]

Xion sighed. "I know. I know." she said. "But she's my sister. I can't just..."

[srf_archer]

“I understand...” Reimi said. She placed her hand on Xion’s lips to silence her briefly. “Besides, even I would feel bad leaving her behind...”

[imaginary_vector]

Xion smiled a little. "Mm." Xion gently kissed Reimi's hand as it touched her lips. "That's why... we do these things for each other."

[srf_archer]

“Exactly...” Reimi said, smiling at the girl. “It might mean you two get to share, though.”

[imaginary_vector]

Xion looked to the side for a moment. "Mmh. I suppose. As long as I get you first."

[srf_archer]

“Oh, don’t be like that...” Reimi said. “Being selfish never helps anyone.” Gently, she lifted her up to hold her and whisper into her ear. “Besides, you’ll always be first.”

[imaginary_vector]

Xion blushed furiously at that, though she did say, "Good."

[OOC: Do we want to do a scene with them serving, before they try and get out? <3 ]

[srf_archer]

“Attagirl...” Reimi said, kissing her cheek.

(OoC: Would you be okay skipping it?)

[imaginary_vector]

[Absolutely! It's why I asked! :)]

Xion blushed, and after the kiss on her cheek, turned her head so that she could lean up and kiss Reimi on the lips.

[srf_archer]

Reimi would happily accept the kiss, letting it linger for awhile before the call came for their need.

Time would pass and, soon, they would be sent back, neither of them needed for awhile and Kairi still unneeded at the time. Reimi looked down the hall, noticing no one around.

“Are you ready?”
