🚖 taxi cab confessions
for when you just couldn't wait to get home → a sex meme

Fun fact: a whopping 23 percent of taxi drivers have seen passengers getting hot and heavy in their cab. Why? It's cramped. It's messy. It's totally inappropriate. But sometimes, the drive between here and there is just too long.

The least you could do is roll up the partition.
HOW to PLAY

Leave a top-level with your preferences. Feel free to establish if your character is leaving a bar, a work party, a date, a brothel... Or decide this together.
Tag around and stumble into taxis! Or Ubers. Or spaceships. Or horse-drawn carriages. Whatever makes sense for your character's time period. We support all kinds of taxis.
Be swift and sneaky to maintain the illusion of being good, well-behaved passengers, or throw caution to the wind and decide that you don't care who sees! The latter might land you in trouble, but #YOLO.
Leave an extra tip for the driver for turning a blind eye to the two assholes getting frisky on his fine upholstery.

[It's an agreeable balance: too many beers to hop on his bike, but not so many that he can't stay vertical. Travis is out of the bar and into a cab, and he's just about to close the door behind him when the opposite side door opens, too. He's inclined to be snarky about first dibs but aw, what the hell. He's no gentleman, but he's not gonna make the gal wait around for another.]

Where you goin'? We can share it.

( open to anyone, 18+

this is not her first rodeo. she'll probably try to kill her partner at some point — either during or after the hook-up. leaving the bar with some guy/girl in tow seems like the best set-up for this! )

[ default or fem form; m/m, m/f, f/f; also consider the use of his illusion magic bs! leaving some fancy shmancy event or musical venue, bar, broadway/theatre, etc. ota 25+. ]

[ previous cr is preferred, but i'm open to Things! certain canonmates are always a possibility, i'm always down for interesting cross canon dynamics, etc. don't be shy to ask/msg me and hash some things out. ]

[There's police sirens blaring a block away from where he's been picked up. A middle-aged man in a suit stares after the taxi as it pulls away from the curb, a sullen expression on his face and a smoke between his fingers; a moment later, he's returning to the cops on the scene, grinding his cigarette into the sidewalk under his heel.

Sumio pays none of this, or his fellow passenger, any mind.]

Drive.

[ Modern AU where he's leaving a bar, it's late but not too late, feel free to share a cab with him and trade long winded conversations about music and general nonsense. He's good company. ]

[ Ever since that faithful university lecture where they met, Oboro's been fond of Izumi. She's kind, charismatic, passionate about what she loves... and really, really beautiful. Seriously, how she manages to be so pretty and not even recognize it, let alone downplay it, is beyond her. If only Izumi could see herself through Oboro's eyes.

Then again, maybe it's best that she can't. After all, she's got it bad for her - bad enough to elevate her polite interest in theater to a fascination fueled by gay. She's not quite on Izumi's level, nor does she think she ever could be, but it's more than enough to get her to buy a pair of tickets and promise a night of fun. ... and curry.

She's delivered on both of those things, she thinks. Definitely the curry, and hopefully the fun. They both seem happy, at least, as they climb into the back of a taxi together. ] That was such a good play! And the costumes were gorgeous. Don't you think?
