┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ the scenarios

① BREAKFAST IN BED;
your partner is up and about -- maybe dressed, maybe not -- and in the kitchen. what are they making you? could it be... grilled cheese?

② HIT ME BABY;
they're such a peaceful sleeper. a peaceful, sexy sleeper. actually there's too much of that sleeping happening. why don't you wake the up, world's kindest alarm?

③ ESCAPE FROM AZKABED;
you wake up to find they're rummaging about for their clothes, about to leave. why the rush, can't you convince them to stay?

④ THE AFTERNOON AFTER;
and the evening, maybe even the morning after after... hours have passed but you just can't leave each other! or maybe one of you just won't...

⑤ HANGOVER FROM HELL;
there's a tiger in the closet, a baby in the bathroom, and a total stranger curled up beside you. who is this person beside you, smelling of tequila and regret? do they know any more about what, or who, went down than you do?

⑥ WET AND WILD;
don't feel too lonely waking up by yourself -- the shower's on and the sound of water falling is mighty inviting. why don't you get cleaned up -- or down and dirty all over again?

⑦ I'LL SLEEP WHEN I DIE;
sleep? what is this sleep thing you speak of? dawn's breaking and neither of you have gotten a wink, or want one. who's ready for round xxx?

⑧ A BITTER PILL;
turns out the reason you scored wasn't your sparkling wit and magnetic confidence. your partner had an ulterior motive -- they already knew it and you're about to. recon? revenge? rebound? tag and find out, if you can handle the truth!

⑨ THIS ISN'T MINE;
that sleepy person in your living room had a great night -- with your roommate. well, might as well get to know each other while you're both there, right? ... right?

⑩ WILD CARD;
roll more than once and combine scenarios, choose your favorite, or make up your own!

lady of the light / final fantasy xiv / ota / endwalker spoilers

[dogmama]

[ m/f and f/f both fine, aus and crosscanon are also great! there will likely be endwalker spoilers in here as well. ]

lbh it was always going to be 2

[emet_sulk]

[ It is well-known by those close to Emet-Selch that the man is fond of his rest, but rare is it that one is able to gaze upon his sleeping face openly and with impunity.

Venat is afforded that rare chance now: the man dozes soundly well into the later hours of the morning, face half-buried in his pillow. One might even call it endearing - goodness knows Hythlodaeus does. He does not respond to light attempts to wake him up, however... It seems more coercive methods will be needed here. ]

[dogmama]

[ venat, meanwhile, is rather a light sleeper - it comes, perhaps, from so many long years of traveling, of always needing to be ready to get up and go at a moment's notice. the second the sun strikes her eyes she stirs, murmuring low and soft, her eyes flickering open, staring blearily into the middle-distance. and then, with a yawn, she is awake, aware, and only a little bit groggy.

her bedmate, however, snoozes on comfortably.. which is no surprise, really. it is no secret that emet-selch is quite fond of sleep indeed. she can hardly blame him. he works quite hard, after all, yet.. even if he did not, she still suspects he would enjoy his rest nonetheless.

rather than use.. coercive methods, however, as it were, venat opts instead to reach forward and gently brush the hair from his eyes. ]

Well well, aren't we a sound sleeper.

[emet_sulk]

[ His brow furrows a little and he turns his face into the pillow a little more with a low grumble. Still not awake but unconsciously responding to the touch. ]

...'eave me alone, 'Daeus...

[ --That Hythlodaeus is often the one to wake him really shouldn't be a surprise either. ]

[dogmama]

[ of course it isn't a surprise, and venat hardly seems ruffled by it. her lovers have ever been ephemeral, after all, for her work as azem took her far and wide, and she was never able to settle in one place.

now, she supposes, in her retirement, things are different..

but ah, now is not the time to think on that. chuckling, she wriggles her way down against the pillows as well, her head cradled beneath one arm, her free hand now drawing a finger playfully down the bridge of his nose. ]

Wrong.

[emet_sulk]

[ His nose wrinkles. After some more unintelligible grumbling, his eyelids peel open reluctantly. Golden eyes blink blearily at her. It takes some seconds for them to clear. ]

Venat... Ah.

[ The night before comes into clarity. He groans quietly and faceplants into his arm. ]

Tell me I was drunk...

[dogmama]

Ah, you truly know how to make a woman feel wanted, don't you?

[ she goads him through a smile, because really, what else could she have expected? curling a little nearer to him, venat stretches her long legs beneath the covers with a satisfied sigh. ]

But I suppose things did get a little out of hand. Don't tell me you don't remember.. for I certainly heard no complaints from you last night.

[ if her memory serves, he was in fact quite enthusiastic. ]

[emet_sulk]

[ He can almost hear the smile in her voice and he peeks out to give her a sullen sulky glance. Much like how transformation bares one's soul to the world, physical intimacy is only a step away from that. For him, at least.

Far easier to feign indifference than admit to affection. ]

No... I remember.

[ Unfortunately. ]

I don't suppose you could be persuaded to keep this from Hythlodaeus or your successor?

[dogmama]

[ a good thing for them both that venat has no such emotional constipation to speak of, and is not at all afraid to show her affection. it's there in her warm smile, when at last his eyes meet hers, and in the way she gently flicks the hair from his golden eyes once more. ]

You prefer to keep it secret?

[ venat isn't so much a fan of secrets, gentle honesty more often than not serves her best, and yet she knows there is a place, at times, for.. discretion. ]

I would hardly want to damage any of your relationships, if that is what you're worried about.

[ venat herself, unfettered as she is, can claim no particular loyalties to any one person - but to all of them, in fact. it's complicated. what happened between them was special, she thinks, and she can only hope he does not have too many regrets. ]

But would it kill you to admit you enjoyed yourself?

[emet_sulk]

[ He curls up a little beneath the sheets. His leg brushes against hers unintentionally, and in his embarrassment his eyes flick aside. Surely the fact that he hasn't tried to push her away counts for something? ]

...You know very well how much Hythlodaeus teases, [ he mutters. ] If he hears about this, I will not know peace for at least the next century.

[dogmama]

[ a light laugh bubbles up from her chest, her smile reaching her bright blue eyes. ]

Understood.

[ he's not wrong, hythlodaeus would like as not never let him hear the end of it.. so for the moment, at least, she seems content to keep this secret between them. far be it for her to ruin this encounter further.

his shin brushes hers, and without preamble she hooks her leg around his calf, tugging playfully. ]

Well then, this shall be our little secret.

[emet_sulk]

[ He makes a startled little sound, gaze meeting hers once more. Memories of last night bleed into sharp relief: the strength of her thighs, the taste of her skin, and her eyes...

He often wonders if her successor shares similar physical traits. The life of a wanderer does leave one in very good shape-- not that he has been thinking of them constantly! No, not at all. ]

Thank you.

[ It's a little unsteady. He clears his throat and, boldly, decides to shuffle forward to kiss her cheek. ]

I did enjoy myself. I hope I was not a disappointing lover.

[dogmama]

[ bold indeed! venat's brows lift high, but she has the social aplomb at least to not act too shocked, lest she frighten him off like a spooked deer. but it only takes a moment before her surprise melts away into an easy smile, her gaze hooded as she looks into his face. ]

No, not at all. It was.. memorable.

[ which is a compliment of the highest degree, really, for no one wants to be forgettable in bed. even being terrible is better than being mediocre. emulating his boldness, venat lifts a hand between them to trace the bow of his lips with the tip of her finger, her expression soft, warm, her leg curling a little more tightly. ]

Should you ever wish a repeat performance while not under the effects of copious wine, I would be amenable.

[emet_sulk]

Ah... You would?

[ He isn't sure how one is supposed to respond to that and it shows. Is it better to accept or decline? The way she touches his lips and twines her leg about his suggests 'now' rather than 'later'. Is it boorish to be enthusiastic or ought he be demure? Or is she, in the end, simply teasing him as is often her wont?

...He's sure either Azem or Hythlodaeus would tell him he's overthinking things again. There's another frown forming and he quickly smooths it away before she can misunderstand. ]

I would...also be amenable. If you have no pressing matters to attend to...?

[ As soon as he says that he wants to smack himself on the head. She's retired. If anything, she ought to be asking that of him. ]

[dogmama]

[ he is absolutely overthinking things, as is evident by the crease in his brow as he frowns so thoughtfully - however briefly. whether or not she is teasing him.. well, that's always the question, isn't it?

her laugh is light as a bell. ]

I should be asking that of you.

[ not only is she retired, he is well known for being quite a hard worker, but then, venat keeps herself quite busy even in her retirement, so it's not too unrealistic to think she might have plans. she does quite like to keep busy. her voice softens again, and she leans to tip her brow to touch his own. ]

But no. I've no pressing matters, save for you.

[emet_sulk]

[ He exhales slowly, heart beating fast against his ribcage. It has always been difficult to accept his own desires. He lives so strictly to his own codes of conduct that acting selfishly seems terribly crass. He minded it less when he was younger - as Hythlodaeus is always so eager to remind him - but he has had years to grow into his position now. His conduct serves as an example to all others.

Venat can be discreet. Really, even if she accidentally lets slip that they shared a bed, it won't be to anyone he doesn't know. He has never had any doubts about that.

Decided, he reaches a hand up and touches her face. ]

My duties can wait a few hours. If it is urgent, someone will find me.

[dogmama]

[ venat, meanwhile, has no qualms about accepting worldly pleasures. like any of their people, of course, she knows her limits, knows what is acceptable and what is not, yet what is life if not for living? if not for moments like these? personal pleasure and happiness? they may be stewards to their star, yes, and that is a duty she takes most seriously, but if they are not enjoying their lives, then what is the point of it all? why build this beautiful world if not to enjoy it?

so when his hand reaches for her face she rewards him with a beaming smile, her own hand lifting to cover his own, her thumb smoothing over the ridges of his knuckles. ]

Excellent.

[ - is all she need say, before she is leaning in to seek his mouth with hers once more. ]

[emet_sulk]

[ The kiss is like he remembers, even with his head now clearer than it had been last night. His hand slips around to cradle the back of her head as he gently moulds his lips to hers, leg twining more securely as he shifts closer. All at once he's aware of how flush their bodies are and his heart beats quicker for it.

Hmm. Yes - best not to let Hythlodaeus or the current Azem know how easily he let himself be tempted into this. Or perhaps he could ask them to bed himself--

He shunts that last thought out of his mind and locks it away tightly. ]

[dogmama]

[ good to lock off that train of thought, for however lovely hythlodaeus and azem may be, it is rude to think of other people while kissing someone, emet!!

not that venat would mind, particularly. emet-selch is not so discreet as he might think, at least not to her eyes, but then it was her job to know people, to see in them the things that they mayhaps do not even themselves see, and so to her his feelings and attractions are quite obvious. that had not stopped her last night, however.

and it will not stop her now.

venat's arms slide over his shoulders languidly, and she breathes a soft hum into their kiss, arching her body into his - his skin is so warm beneath the blankets, it glides against her own so smoothly, so sweetly. yes, this will be a morning well spent. ]

[emet_sulk]

[ He sighs in quiet contentment, warmth stirring anew as her body glides against his. Tracing the curve of her spine with a feather-light touch, he silently marvels at how acute one's awareness becomes in this intimate moments. He who has always stood closer to the aetherial sea than most has rarely bothered with external matters. They are a distraction from that which he enjoys most.

As ever though, Venat finds a way to introduce him to new pleasures. He would be annoyed...but it would make her smug to be proven right (again).

Tracing lower, he slips his fingers between her thighs and starts to rub, gently so as to coax out more of her breathless moans. ]

What would you ask of me this time? [ he murmurs against her lips. ]

[dogmama]

[ his boldness surprises her, and venat gasps when his fingers slip between her thighs, sweet pleasure lancing electric down her spine.

at first she does not answer, only deigns instead to simply.. enjoy herself, and the touch of his dexterous fingers building heat low in her belly. one arm around his shoulders curls tightly, her free hand sinking into his wild morning hair, while her hips rock forward, slow and steady. ]

Well, you're certainly off to a good start..

[ she murmurs, her voice dropped low and husky, a gentle purr against his mouth.

but then she's moving, using the leverage of her leg around his to heave her body forward, pushing him onto his back so that she may straddle his hips. the blankets fall away from her body, spilling around her thighs, but venat is not ashamed of her nudity, not here, not now, with him. with her hands braced against his chest, she smiles. ]

I could ask a great many things.

[emet_sulk]

[ By necessity he snatches his hand back as she rolls him over lest he accidentally hurt her. Now gazing up at Venat, silhouetted in what little light peeks behind the curtains of this room, he cannot help but be a little in awe of her confidence. Where he detests flaunting himself or his body, neither Venat nor her successor have any sort of shame - if shame is even the correct word for it here.

He allows himself a moment to drink in her supple form before he responds. ]

You could. You have me quite at your mercy.

[ Surprisingly enough, he finds he does not dislike it. ]

[dogmama]

[ she certainly does not have any shame. while she may not necessarily be showing off, she is no more embarrassed of her body than she is of this encounter, of taking any lover. why be ashamed of something that is so natural? so beautiful? and just so, she is not afraid to rake her eyes down his own body, over his chest and abdomen and up again, until her eyes find his, and she smiles. ]

It would seem that I do.

[ slowly, carefully, venat begins to rock her hips, grinding them against his own, sweet pleasure blooming in her gut while she reaches for his hands, taking them both in her own and guiding them to her sides, up her ribs, over her breasts. ]

Just put your hands on me. Touch me.

[emet_sulk]

[ Run his hands over her he does. He takes in a deep breath and exhales slowly as he smooths over the contours of her body, lingering with his touch in much the same way one would linger over a fine wine. His only complaint? That she maintains the distance, allowing him only to reach out instead of savour. He imagines running not only his palm over her breasts but his lips as well and how she might respond were he to suckle them.

The pulsing movement of her hips only encourages such thoughts. Her enjoyment is open and unabashed and he wants nothing more than to share in it, to hear her voice as their bodies move in unison. If only she would shift a little lower... ]

You know how to tease a man, [ he murmurs. Not in criticism but in amusement. ] Is this the sort of intimacy you prefer usually?

[dogmama]

I like to take my time, if that is what you mean.

[ venat smiles, an easy laugh rolling in her throat, her hands sliding down over his wrists, and along his forearms, as she rolls her hips again.

but soon enough she's leaning forward, her silvery hair tumbling over her shoulders to tickle his skin as she seeks his mouth again for a long, lingering kiss, her teeth gently tugging at his lower lip. nudging her nose gently alongside his own, she pulls back just enough to look into his eyes, her own gaze hooded. ]

Would you prefer I moved faster?
