How could an elf ever love a dwarf? It’s an abomination in all possible ways.

Interspecies Love Meme

Vampires and humans. Angels and demons. Ghosts and the living. The idea of "opposites attracting" is hardly a new one, but with the rise in popularity of supernatural creatures, aliens, and other sentient beings beyond our human understanding, the forbidden romance trope has been injected a shot of fresh blood- sometimes quite literally.

This meme does just that, taking the whole "not meant for each other" thing to it's most logical extreme. Of course, it's not always angst and depression. These days, mermaids and bird-people can have their relationships in peace to some degree.

Rules

• Comment with your character, putting any preferences you have (ie, "humanoid characters only," F/M, etc). Also, be sure to note your character's "species" for others to reference (Name | Character | OTA | Human, ghost, mutant, alien, vampire, god, zombie-catgirl hybrid, etc).
• Reply to others. If your characters aren't different species, feel free to AU or anything else like that.
• Use the rng to determine your prompt.
• Also I didn't think I needed to say this, but be excellent to each other. Dick comments and anon bullying are not on.

Prompts

1. Meeting: Did you know there were, I don't know, werewolves before this? Or maybe you thought all aliens were evil. Will this...thing change your perception?
2. Falling in Love: You know you're not the same, but your feelings don't care.
3. Self-Hate: Perhaps you're mad at the being you're in love with, yet you're more angry at yourself.
4. Can't Be Together: Whether for self-inflicted reasons or societal rules, you can't be in love with who your heart has chosen and it's putting a strain on you.
5. Pushing You Away: Things are getting too intense, and for both of your sake, you want to make friend/crush/lover hate you.
6. Beauty & the Beast: One of you is beautiful, the other hideous. Maybe, though, the beautiful one is ugly in the eyes of society, depending on where you live. Whatever the case is, you don't look the same.
7. Confession: Screw the rules, you're going to tell that sweet girl/guy/other how you feel! What can go wrong? Or this is something you've put a lot of thought into and you're scared, but you're going to do it.
8. First Time...or Not: Finally, the two of you are taking the next step and getting physical. It may go off without a hitch, depending on your...you know, or- OH GOD, HOW IS THAT GOING TO GO IN HERE. Wait, you have a...?
9. The Kinky Option: Hey, maybe being different will pay off. Think about it. A long tongue? Ghost powers? Sounds like it could be fun in the bedroom.
10. Prejudice: "What are you doing with that dirty monster?" "You know we can't be involved with humans!" "We don't take kindly to your type around here." Why can't people just leave you two be?
11. Facing Your Instinct: It's hard to be with someone when you want to suck their blood. Or eat their brains. Or possess them.
12. Because of Me: Your lover has been dragged into your fight or hurt by others of your kind. Now they're in the crossfire.
13. Standing Up For You: Hey, knock it off! I don't care what you think, he's perfect in my eyes.
14. You Don't Know You're Beautiful: The fluffy option where you're trying to make your loved one see just how much you care and how they're beautiful to you, no matter what.
15. Gifts: Show your affection with a gift from your culture.
16. Starting a Family: Can you even reproduce? Is it something you want to consider? Perhaps it's new ground to tread, so you'll have to be the first to think about it.

{OOC: Would you be interested in another type of Elf who is more on the criminal/thief side of things? Amaya could be tasked with trying to bring down this thief guild stealing high profile artifacts?}

[If there was one thing that Stella enjoyed more than most things, it's Pub Night. Because Pub Night means they get to cause trouble and further ingrain the idea that the Tarr'mac are nothing more than troublemakers who do just enough to get noticed, but not enough for the Guard to get involved and lock them up for more than a day.

Stella's had her share of nights in the lock-up as she "slept off" what they assumed was over-inebriation after a fun brawl.

And considering that this was their first pub night after the big heist they pulled a week ago, she was especially invested in having some fun. They were still waiting for their foreign buyer to send the second-half of the payment for the Omnistones they'd stolen from the Royal Citadel, but making nuisances of themselves seemed the right idea for now. Best to keep them off their trail if they continued to assume they weren't capable of anything more than causing trouble in the pubs at night.]

Another round for the tables, yeah? [She calls out, waving her hand to one of the barmaids as she walked around the billiards table.] Maybe then I can drink Dari under the table so he's not weighting the cues.

[Dari cheerfully proclaims his innocence all while spinning his cue--brought from home and "adjusted" if Stella had any guess--in his fingers. Laughter breaks out from the rest of the gang surrounding them and some of the onlookers. She spares a glance toward the door way before taking her next shot...and notices a shift in the atmosphere in the room. Someone arrived, but Stella can't see just yet who it is.]

Hope this works, and sorry for the delay!

[the_aunt_general]

['Tarr'mac' was a relatively new word she'd gotten to know very quickly. She filed the performative side of things away as 'deeply suspicious.' Call it her experience with Elves like Rayla, but she wasn't going to take it at face value. Or maybe it was just the instincts of a soldier who was particularly good at not dying.]

[And so when she'd been tasked with retrieving the omnistones, she'd worked her way through likely suspects, and then unlikely suspects - and one particular name had kept coming up. And raucous was always such a good cover for subtle thievery, wasn't it?]

[A few small bribes, a little bit of intimidation - nobody in Katolis wanted to be on Amaya's bad side, after all, it wasn't exactly a long term survival strategy - and here she was.]

[And she strode into the pub, in full armor. By herself. Gren and her guards, of course, were spreading out outside - especially on rooftops.]

I am sorry I almost missed this! Not getting notifs.

[roadmage]

[It didn't take long for Stella to realize exactly why there was a shift in the air. A whispered notice let her know soldiers had arrived. One inside, but as if she would ever believe one soldier to be traveling into a rowdy pub on their own this time of night. If they were playing it "innocent," then she was going to assume they thought they knew more than they did--her gang weren't the types to give anything away that was dangerously incriminating--but enough for them to have a scent.

Time to start making their departures through the hidden underground tunnels in the smoke room back through the kitchens. Stella continued to play billiards, challenging other patrons after Dari "lost" the round and taking her silent gestures to start getting the members of the team still in the pub for the night out. He'd know to get ahold of the leader, Taro, after that. Stella decides to make a bigger gesture.]

Anyone else out there interested in having a go? There's gotta be someone around who knows their way around an 8-ball.

[She raises her cue and points it right at the soldier--the general. Well, how's about that. All the more reason to get her people out of there.]

What about you? If you're looking to unwind, how's about a round with me? The night's still young and none of these fellas or ladies seem willing to take me up on another wager.

[She gives a little smirk.]

No worries! It's been a chaotic week, so I needed time anyways, turns out.

[the_aunt_general]

[And the moment she started to use sign language in response, it said exactly which soldier she was Katolis' best, a reputation she had earned and she was proud of. Her movements were casual - but she was anything but. Her hands moved, elegantly, to sign her response.]

I have an idea for that. Let's play for information. I win, you tell me what I want to know. You win...well, it won't be an issue, really.
