A city at night.

— city at night meme

You've got the world around you yawning with potential, possibilities fanning out before your very eyes—after all, they say the city doesn't sleep at night. The skyline's illuminated with glittering lights, and even now, the streets are bustling with activity. So here's the real question: where are you at this hour?

— scenario prompts

1) WORKING.
You're still caught up at the office or wherever it is you're holed up. It's getting late, but there's work to be done.

2) RELAXING.
You're warm and comfortable someplace indoors, whether it's in a cozy nook of a café or maybe just in your own apartment. There's no other place you really need to be, is there?

3) MEET-UP/DATE.
Is there someone you're seeing for dinner? A date? Maybe you're going bar-hopping together with some friends, or your attendance is expected at some special event. Alternatively, there's someone you're meeting with to make a deal of some kind, whether it's perfectly legitimate or something that might invite trouble with local enforcement.

4) OUT FOR A WALK.
Sometimes, it's nice to get out for some fresh air—or, well, as fresh as it gets with all the air pollution around you. The park's not too far away; it might be nice and quiet at this hour, if you don't run into any...

5) TROUBLE.
It's getting late and it's dark outside, but someone has been tailing you for a while. Walking faster only makes them speed up; they're doggedly persistent. What to do now? Is there a busy street you can turn on to for help? Or maybe it's time to confront your pursuer... On the flip side, you're the one tracking someone. For what reason? Well, only you would know, right?

6) OTHER.
Anything else you can think of!

— setting prompts

A) STREETS/ALLEYS.
Are you visiting a busy district teeming with people? Or are you out on a quieter street? It can be dark out there, especially if you turn onto a smaller one without many streetlamps. Watch your step. Some of the alleyways might make good shortcuts if you're trying to get somewhere fast, but there's also trouble to be found sometimes. Don't get cornered anywhere, and especially don't get too curious if you see something suspicious in one of the dumpsters...

B) IN TRANSIT.
You're between locations right now, just trying to get on with your evening. You have some options, like public transportation: the bus, the train, the subway. Alternatively, you're a fancier kind of person: you've got your own car that you're driving, or better yet, you have a chauffeur and a private car. Or, you know, you're just taking a taxi or using a ride-share app. There are also transitional spaces like parking lots or garages.

C) DINING.
Some cities are melting pots of different cultures; you're bound to find countless spots at which to eat. There are small cafés if you want a quick bite, or fancier restaurants where you can wine and dine. You could support a small family business by dropping by at a local hole in the wall—sometimes the most authentic spots with the best food are nondescript locations. Or if you're really trying to impress, go for some famous Michelin three-star.

D) NIGHT LIFE.
Bars, clubs, lounges—all of it's fair game. Remember to drink responsibly—or don't, if you're looking to really forget about your troubles for a while. Just know that you'll only have yourself to blame for that raging hangover in the morning.

E) CORPORATE BUILDING.
In a larger city, major corporations might be headquartered in the glittering skyscrapers that line the most expensive districts. There are all kinds of businesses—banks, law firms, finance companies, tech groups, to state just a few. Some places might keep their lights on pretty late at night for the white-collar workers burning the midnight oil; others, perhaps not. Do you fit somewhere in this equation? Or if you're here for something more exciting, there's always corporate espionage...

F) SHOPS.
A lot of shops could be closed by now, but maybe it's that final hour before that mall or outlet you wanted to visit locks their doors for the evening. Time for some last-second shopping! Snatch up that deal before it's gone, or be sure to buy a gift for your date before it's too late!

G) HOME.
You're at home, wherever that is—an apartment, a condo, a house somewhere, or maybe something more extravagant. Real estate can get expensive in the city, especially in popular locations. Do you have a tiny apartment that covers all your basic needs? Or something much nicer, like the type of penthouse people usually only see in movies, complete with floor-to-ceiling windows?

H) CITY SQUARE.
Some city squares are hubs of activity, filled with street performers, pop-up stores, or food stalls. There's a lot you could do, especially when it's nighttime and the little lights strung around the place look so pretty.

I) ABANDONED SPACE.
Every city has its fair share of abandoned warehouses or other buildings that are slated for demolition. Sometimes they attract certain types of crowds that would make your average person think twice before confronting. A lot of places are off-limits, but every so often, the no-trespassing sign is more of a suggestion than a real threat, right?

J) OTHER.
Anything else you can think of!

[Even with all of his preparation, Lin still more than felt the stretch of Chris' thick cock pressing inside of him. His fingers dug hard into the cushions beneath his hands, and he panted while Chris filled him to the point where he doubted her could take anything else. He was a big man in every sense of the word, and Lin was always abruptly reminded of that fact when he was gone for stretches of time.]

Y-yeah.

[That was all he could manage while Chris began to fuck him hard. Sharp exhalations were forced from his lungs with the harsh thrusts, but god, was he enjoying it.

There was nothing like being so utterly filled that he could feel every little movement, the head of Chris' cock pounding at his prostate, making him want to come but unable to thanks to his self-imposed restriction.

Lin whimpered and closed his eyes tightly. He could hold back for a bit longer, surely.]

Whoa - whoa!! [Natsuo has no ability to recoil with his back flush against the wall, so all he can do is jerk his arm back and duck when Dabi releases the grip on his neck. He winds up curled into a shaky ball on the ground at Dabi's feet, smaller in a way he's never been despite the considerable gap in their ages.]

Ni - Dabi. [There. It's sinking in now that this is only a part of his brother, not the whole person. He watched Touya disappear while they still shared a home, after all, so this is no surprise to him. He just has a preternatural ability to hold out hope for the best, which is about all that kept him under Enji's roof for as long as he did stay.] I don't wanna hurt you, I wanna help you. Work with you. I know I won't be much help 'til I figure out my quirk but then - think about it, we'll be a perfectly balanced team!

[They'll be the powerhouse Enji sought for so long, and in the ultimate cruel irony, they'll be turned against him instead of standing shoulder to shoulder with him to fulfill his legacy. Because this is his real legacy, isn't it?]

Please. Please give me a chance. At least say you'll think about it and I can find you again when I'm stronger.

[ He'd like to know what caused Robb to create the terms considering out of everyone he's the one in their friend group that knows he's with Jane. So why would he do the ideal about ex's? It's not fair to Tal because he lost his bet, and it wouldn't have been fair to Aegon if Jane had lost. But at the same time, if neither had done well on the exam it would have hurt them both and their significant others. It's almost a lose-lose bet.

The scrutiny feels like more than before, but maybe it's because everyone is all here in the same room with them and Theon made sure that everyone's attention is on them. When they were in school, at least it was only two or three people watching them. Not the whole class. Though, he does have to admit that he enjoys the annoyance from Ramsay for being interrupted. He wasn't kidding about breaking that guy's nose.

Her laugh brings one of his own as he brushes his nose against hers, keeping their faces close even as the kiss comes to an end. He couldn't help just reaching out to greet her like that. She'd looked beautiful across the room and a large part of him wanted to make sure the whole room knew she was his since they already had all eyes on them. ]


Happy to be stolen, love.

[ Dipping, he steals another kiss though this one is softer and sweeter. ]

Theon, you look like a fish out of water. Might want to close your mouth. [ He chuckles and keeps his arm around Jane's waist so when they finally move she'll be tucked lovingly into his side. ]

He's fine.

[ There's an unspoken hint of worry laced within his terse reply. While the two of them have been friends for as long he could remember, Angeal isn't the type to voice his concerns. He keeps them hidden behind his stoic demeanor in an attempt to seem unbothered. However, Sephiroth is one of the few people to see past his apathetic guise. ]

Zack's a little worse for wear but the doctors suspect he'll pull through.

[ Angeal mutters once he joins Sephiroth's side. He remains silent as he gazes out towards the sprawling city below, his blue gaze glowing slightly within the oppressive darkness. For a moment, Angeal looks as if he's content to remain within this comfortable silence but soon the soldier turns his gaze away from the thriving metropolis and towards his friend. It's then that Angeal lets out an uneasy sigh as he crosses his arms upon his chest. ]

[ It doesn't take much to get on the Captain's bad side. Quick-tempered, foul-mouthed, and grouchy as all hell, it shouldn't come as anyone's surprise that Cid Highwind is as ornery as they come. So when the little Turk starts bitching and complaining about the food, the Captain immediately turns around with a snarl. ]

The hell do you think this is? The Holiday Inn?!

[ He snaps in annoyance before turning back to Shera again. It's nothing short of a miracle that his assistant can put up with his idiosyncrasies but Shera doesn't even flinch once Cid starts grumbling at her again. Apparently, construction is going a bit too slowly for Highwind's liking which explains his less than charitable mood. They're behind schedule which means working through the night is inevitable. Even so, Cid doesn't seem too angry about that. Disappointed, yeah but not really angry. If anything, Cid seems more pissed about the Turk hanging out here than anything else.

After all, fuck Shinra.
]

If you want somethin' to eat, there's a diner up the road.

[ He mutters once he finishes relaying the rest of his plans to Shera. ]

[ It was probably just a dumb idea on Robb's part, really, that last clause recklessly thrown in there with no regard for the consequences should it come to pass. She supposes she shouldn't have encouraged him by agreeing to it, but, well, she'd been confident that it wouldn't have had to happen.

She feels herself flush at all the attention they're getting, but between the girls checking him out and the possible awkwardness her ex's presence might bring, she'd wanted everyone to know that they belonged to each other. And while people might think it's a little out of character for her, most are also unaware of the things she's been through, of how much she's changed over the years. Plus how he's drawn out a side of her she didn't really know she had.

Theon's a little grumbly now, asking how long they've been together because neither of them said anything to him, but she just laughs and waves him off — and the others who look like they have something to say — playfully. ]
I'm sorry, but that information is classified.

[ She gives the crowd a cheeky grin before steering them away, though they stop by Jaina for introductions. Her twin takes a moment to show them the video she'd captured of Theon, murmuring something about blackmail material. ]

Eat and run? [ That's said in an undertone as they head to the main hall; Jaina's decided to stay behind to chat up some of her other friends. She glances up at him with a smile, reaching up to tuck a stray lock of hair behind his ear. ] We've done what we came here to do. And you're purposely being irresistible.

[Rude takes a deep breath instead of voicing his issues with those very specific terms. They'd bothered Reno too, but he knows better than to bring it up with anyone outside their immediate circle. Shinra was constantly on the lookout for anyone who wasn't loyal. Thankfully disagreeing with tactics or orders had never stopped him from following through with them. He was a professional, after all.

His eyes dart back and forth to the different shops and stalls that look a lot less decorated to bring customers in, than years ago. These days a simple neon sign reading OPEN was all it took. Especially for the storefronts on more busy streets like this one. They had a few more blocks to pass before they got close to the residential district.]


Your memory is as infallible as ever. [He slows to observe the place in question. One would hardly be able to tell from the look of it now.] I wonder what became of them. [Hopefully they retired to some small town outside of Midgar where they wouldn't have to worry about falling plates or violence.]

[ For once in his life, he didn't mean to lash out at that. Not toward Natsuo- but Dabi is always ready to attack, especially when anything comes after him, and he growls at Natsuo catching him off guard like that. It could have been way worse. And now his little brother is cowering, curled up in a ball in front of him, and Dabi feels something splinter inside of him.

He was supposed to protect his brother, and now here he is, after not even being able to see him for so long, hurting him.

His flames die down and he takes a few steps back, eyes wild as it all sinks in for him too. The explosion at the Todoroki home, all the random attacks of a quirk user trying to gain his strength. Natsuo really being the only one who ever fully stuck by him through all of Enji's abuse at home. Of course Shouto was far too young, and he would never blame his mother because she was being hurt too. But still, Natsuo had been there for him, and somehow, even though Dabi is a villain now, he's still here, asking for a chance.

Natsuo wants to help him. He wants to work with him. If Dabi still had a heart, it would probably break right about now.]


No. You're not cut out for this. You're not a goddamn villain, Natsuo! Do you have any fuckin' idea what this is gonna do to you?

[ It's gonna ravage him. It's going to take him apart and make him lose his soul, and so maybe Dabi still has a heart in here somewhere, because the thought of that happening to Natsuo is devastating. ]

[ Chris slid his hand across Lin's chest and pulled him up slightly to nibble at his shoulders and neck. He ground his hips against his ass buried as deep as he could get inside. Fuck, it was a snug perfect fit. Lin stretched so sweet around his cock practically milking him. ]

Best welcome home. [ He murmured close to Lin's ear. ] So good, babe. So pretty.

[ He couldn't resist reaching between Lin's legs and stroking his cock teasingly. Chris was very into the idea of teasing Lin to get him back for all those teasing pictures and videos he had tortured him with. ]

Going to make you wait to come though. Maybe after I've come twice. Sound fair to you?

[Lin's body clenched so very tightly around Chris' dick, and he whimpered again when Chris adjusted his position with a hand on his chest. He did make sure to tilt his head to the side to offer up better access to his neck.]

Glad you're home.

[He managed that much between pants, breath increasingly heavy the more Chris played with his body.

Lin actually cried out when one of those strong hands began to stroke his aching cock. The words that followed made him shudder, face bright red when he nodded.]


Y-yes. [Fair, though he knew it was going to be a new sort of test of his willpower.]

a romanian dhampir and an austrian vampire explore american night life

[personal profile] cryptsleeper 2020-05-01 07:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[It had taken a few months, but Alucard had decided that a trip out over the Atlantic would be a wise idea in the end. He always put off traveling for this bullshit reason or that, and with it came a mild sense of shame. There were plenty of ways to watch over the castle from afar, and he owed it to himself to get out, even just a little bit. It was important.

So America. America meant fake passports that no one clocked and trying not to respond to every single person who remarked that he sounded like a Hollywood vampire. America meant crashing with Carmilla for a fortnight before heading back to the castle, and tonight America meant going out.

He had no idea what to expect in this moment. The dhampir had on the modern version of his far too ancient clothes, black jeans and a t-shirt, hair still down, posture stiff and reserved because he was still himself. He only looks to his companion and tilts his head.]


Are you sure that I'm acceptably dressed?
captainbara: (lost my shirt)

[personal profile] captainbara 2020-05-01 07:07 pm (UTC)(link)
You can beg if you need to. [ Chris nipped at Lin's ear as he circled his thumb about the tip of Lin's cock. ] It might work.

[ He was kind of a sucker for Lin saying please and needing him. It was hot and beautiful. He pressed a soft kiss against his neck before he drew back and once again started driving his hips hard.

Chris spread his hand out over Lin's lower back and watched his cock spreading him open as they fucked. It was one hell of a sight. After so long with only pictures it was incredible to feel it and see it. ]


Shit wished I could make this last longer. [ But he was going to come fast. Two weeks with no Lin around to fuck was hard on a man. Chris would fuck him as long as he could but it would not be long enough. Thank God they had all night. ]

I'm...

[Now that the threat seems to have passed, Natsuo stumbles back to his feet but stays hunched against the wall to avoid standing taller than Dabi, still in a fully submissive stance. Even curled into himself that way, though, he looks Dabi right in the eye to make sure that what he says next will be taken deadly serious.]

I'm not a hero either, heroes must be either stupid or monstrous to accept him, and I can never be a normal civilian with things the way they are now. If I don't go after him with you, I'll do it on my own. There's no going back for me.

[Not emotionally. Not mentally. Maybe his body could go through the motions but living a "normal" life under the tyranny of Endeavor and his cronies, whom he knows Shouto will one day grow up to join? That would destroy his soul.]
creamation: (oh this)

[personal profile] creamation 2020-05-01 08:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Well, fuck. There it is.

Deep down, there's a thrill that runs through him when he hears those words. They're his own words echoed right back at him, for the most part. When he was forced to leave home he said the same thing, and it's been with him ever since. After that, there was never any going back for him either.

Realistically he knows Natsuo can't go back, and there's a huge part of him that wants to just drag his brother off with him. But seeing him here now for the very first time in ages, Dabi suddenly wants to protect him again too- even though he probably doesn't have the right to anymore. He was gone for so long. He died. He's a murderer. None of those things like up with what they had anymore.

Dabi tries to bring his usual calm, uncaring demeanor back, but it's hard with everything that's laid out here in front of him now. ]


I ain't askin' you to go back.

[ He wouldn't. Not after all this time, and not after what Natsuo just said. The rest of it... well, he can't address just yet. He can't tell his brother that he's going to be the one to kill their father and if anyone else tries to take that from him, he'll kill them. ]

Did you know it was me? All this time is that why you've been followin' me? Cause if it was anyone else they would'a killed you by now, ya know.

[ the silence that follows his question isn't so comfortable this time and reno has the good sense to shut up instead of pressing, that crooked mouth relaxing into something of a cringe. his hand twitches once tseng picks up his goggles, swallowing back the urge to plead for their safety — he can always pick up another pair but there's something lame about the thought.

sitting up properly, he pulls the knitted blanket off him and tosses it idly down the sofa, not thinking to fold it. it's still a strange sight, one that suggests tseng naps in his office frequently enough or that it's simply there for courtesy. the latter would be enough to make reno laugh if he thought on it for too long; he's never seen anyone else dare to recline around the room like he's in the habit of doing but what does he know? ]


Eh? [ he's not sure what he's expecting but it's not this, the lack of blatant ire, the absence of discipline being threatened. he drags the syllable out, head tilting to watch tseng step toward him. reno considers whether or not death will be swift.

but there's some finality to tseng tucking his goggles away that has him reaching to pull his boots on without asking anything else, intrigued enough to accompany his executioner without protest.

the brief nap was disorienting — not knowing the time almost feels dangerous, a dumb blind spot to have, but he reaches for his jacket as he stands instead of checking his phone, tossing it over his shoulder by a hooked finger. ]


Accidents happen, right?

[Oh, thank god.

Natsuo's knees almost give out from under him with relief when it becomes clear that Dabi will accept his company after all. He's been miserable and terrified on his own, certain every second of every day and night will be his last, he'll make some stupid mistake and be brushed off the face of the world like a mosquito off a giant's arm. In fact, he knows damn well that he's come close several times...]


I know, but - even though I was told you died, something about "Dabi" sounded so familiar that I had to see you for myself. I would've spoken up sooner but I didn't know what to say.

[Natsuo laughs hoarsely, flashes Dabi a crooked little smile that's audible in his voice.]

But I wasn't totally sure, especially not when I saw how tall you are. How'd you wind up the size of an actual grown-up, huh?

[ It's the kind of dumb idea he'd expect from high school Robb, not Robb who's grown up and is dating Tal. Though at the end of the day, Jane's doing what needs to be done so maybe he'll think about his bets better before speaking them, holding him accountable for the actual bet.

People grow a lot between high school and college, he did. As did she. Which is why they'd been able to find each other now and settle into this relationship. He won't say it's perfect, they still occasionally fall into slight bickering that takes a minute to get out of because of their past, but it's getting better as they start to grow together now. And he likes the more firey side he's helped her find, glad it's only with him.

And there's the softest chuckle when she tells people the information is classified. There's even a kiss to her temple for it, because it's probably the perfect answer to give them. It leaves it their business and lets people stew around them.

He smiles at Jaina, happy to be introduced properly as her boyfriend now. And the video is honestly priceless. Jaina was smart to capture that moment. ]


Eat and run sounds perfect. [ Fingers tease alone her side easily but subtly since his hand is already there to keep her snuggled close to him. As fun as it had been to help her get ready, he's ready to be out of his suit and help her out of the dress now that everything here is basically done. ] Well, I like when you get all flushed and needy.
creamation: (blackout)

[personal profile] creamation 2020-05-01 10:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Accept his company is pushing it, but Dabi realizes then that if Natsuo isn't going to go back home, he's still going to be out here. He's fending for himself now, and there's no fucking way he's leaving his brother to deal with the kind of shit he had to deal with when he couldn't back home.

So maybe that does mean somehow Dabi's gonna have to deal with this now. It's definitely a lot all of a sudden. ]


Yeah, I don't really know what to say either.

[ Dabi mutters, then narrows his eyes, crossing his arms over his chest as Natsuo laughs and smiles at him. He's missed that smile, and it hurts to see in this kind of way. It hurts to hear those words. He hates the feeling. He hates having any feelings these days, so any of the sadder ones really just make him angry. ]

Same way you turned into a big lug, I guess.

[A big lug? Natsuo can't help but laugh again, scratching at the back of his neck with completely genuine modesty. He's always been considered rather good looking by his peers, or at least since he hit the age when boys and girls share such things with each other, but somehow that neutral - teasing at best - comment from Dabi is the most flattering he's ever heard.]

Really, though. You look good. Not like I ever would've expected, but good.

[Considering that his quirk actively harms his body, his constitution has never been great even aside from the quirk damage, and he's made several questionable choices of ornamentation to emphasize the scorched patches of skin? Dabi still looks hale and hearty compared to the last Natsuo saw of Touya. His well-being matters infinitely more to Natsuo than his actions.

Though he should ask...]


Are you working with anyone right now? I've heard a lot of different things.

[ 'Nothing good' is Tseng's immediate guess. Though he remembers the shopkeepers as hunched and venerable, there is too much dynasty in Midgar to ever drive what had been a bustling shop into foreclosure. And then there is the fact that it is still here, a brick-and-mortar tombstone oddly placed along the buzzing neon strip. Something isn't right about that.

But now Tseng remembers. He'd stare through this window in awe when he was young, so tiny then that he had to gather himself up on his tiptoes to see inside. Within there was a paradise of color and geometry, the sheets of chocolate buttons, the twisted rainbow pops, rows upon rows of dispensers brimming with flavors he could never imagine. Sometimes the man inside would see him looking and bring him out a treat. Tseng remembers never having tasted anything so delicious.

He starts to pick the lock before he's entirely aware of what he's doing, removing and disappearing the pointed edge of his hair clip into the keyhole. ]


I'd like to know.

[ His clip catches on an internal tooth and the lock relents with a satisfying click! The door groans open, revealing a whorl of ghostly dust and an uninviting darkness within. ]

You coming?
beenhad: (tehe)

[personal profile] beenhad 2020-05-02 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
Accidents happen.

[ Tseng mildly agrees. He does, however, pause. Obviously they can't leave the blanket like that. It's carefully folded, treated with almost reverent delicacy. It goes back into its home within that hidden hatch beneath his desk and then it's gone, another loose end tied up neatly.

There's still the matter of the papers, but. Not right now. ]


And so do consequences.

[ Here, after all, is the lesson lurking within: Tseng pats his pocket, where the goggles are, and hoists open the door for Reno to pass through before him.

It's a silly thing to confiscate a fucking Turk's belongings, but that's also why it's fun. And growing funnier by the second, the longer Tseng fights sleep in lieu of dealing with everyone else's messes.

There is a very dark, very subtle little tremor of laughter in his voice. ]


You can have them back when you learn to behave.

[ Even in the dark, Dabi can see Natsuo's face light up with another laugh. He still has the same mannerisms from when he was younger, and all Dabi can do is stare at him for a long moment. He never thought he'd see his brother up close like this again- least of all in this situation. ]

I look good? Now I know you've lost your fuckin' mind.

[ He knows how he looks. He's a goddamn mess. He can't even look in the mirror anymore- though that's due more to the fact that he still has to look into blue eyes when he does so. At least he took care of the rest. In the end, he supposes he does feel better like this. His body was going to break down anyway, at least he took charge of it in the only way he knew how. When he was younger, he had no control at all.

Dabi eyes Natsuo again, still trying to close himself off far too much for this. ]


Oh yeah? What've you heard?
