A HYPOTHETICAL SCENARIO ❤︎

So, say you aren't in a relationship. Hypothetically. Actually, you may never have been in one before. If you had a chance, though, would you? Be in a relationship, that is. Hypothetically. What would it take? To be with somebody, we mean.

Hypothetically, of course.

I'd have to work out a lot of things, first. Give me another hundred years.

[ He's only being half-sarcastic! ]
nutkrusher: (Texting)

I'll swipe right if you're cute, getting me to stick around takes something special, though

Would actually be primo Baby Daddy Material if you can get passed a lot of things

A mutual understanding that devotion to the job comes first

What kind of 'job' are you referring to? A career or... something else?
sirintegra: (ova gloved)

[personal profile] sirintegra 2023-08-26 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
I would call it a duty before a career. But yes, my work is equal measures demanding and dangerous.
privateeyes: (Default)

[personal profile] privateeyes 2023-08-26 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
You must have quite the work to consider it a duty.
sirintegra: (fan portrait zoom)

It was handed down to me from my father and I take it very seriously.

[personal profile] privateeyes 2023-08-26 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
A family business? Can I ask what it entails? I can't imagine it's something as simple as a grocers.
sirintegra: (manga calm smoke)

[personal profile] sirintegra 2023-08-26 07:19 am (UTC)(link)
Vampire hunting, to be plain.
privateeyes: (Default)

[personal profile] privateeyes 2023-08-27 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
Vampire hunting? [Despite everything he's experienced, Arthur can't help but scoff.]

Surely they don't exist. The dead rising as monsters?
sirintegra: (ova midnight smoke)

[personal profile] sirintegra 2023-08-27 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
The public at large knows not of their existence. And we are the ones who assure it. (yes, she is quite serious.)
privateeyes: (03)

[personal profile] privateeyes 2023-08-27 01:43 am (UTC)(link)
Hm. [Alright perhaps he should consider her words more carefully. It isn't as though he hasn't encountered all manner of things most would doubt existed. Although...]

That must be quite the organisation to cover up entirely.
sirintegra: (fan smoke)

It is. Paramilitary, funded by the Crown.

Flattered. But no.

Long as you're sane and aren't completely nuts

[personal profile] catsgothistongue 2023-08-25 10:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[He's half sarcastic, half serious here.]
privateeyes: (Default)

You had best be resilient and comfortable with sharing

[personal profile] privateeyes 2023-08-26 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
[Did he willingly share that? No. Does he wish he could take it back? Yes.]
havenomercy: (Default)

[personal profile] havenomercy 2023-08-26 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
How much sharing are we talking?
privateeyes: (03)

[personal profile] privateeyes 2023-08-26 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
You could say every waking moment. Yes, I know! I don't like it either but I can't take it back now, can I?

[Is he talking to himself? Yes.]


It's a long story.
codenametesla: (waiting frown)

[personal profile] codenametesla 2023-08-26 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
...Sharing what? I mean, some things are definitely easier to share than others...
privateeyes: (02)

[personal profile] privateeyes 2023-08-27 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
[A long, long-suffering sigh.]

I'm afraid I'm already part of a sort of ...package deal.
codenametesla: (listening focused)

[personal profile] codenametesla 2023-08-27 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
[Between the weird signals she was getting from him and the way he phrased that, it sounded like a long story. She couldn't deny she was curious though.]

I'm... going to assume you don't mean in the traditional relationship sense... So, you mean someone has to be okay with sharing.. you? With the other part of this package?
orthodoxies: (Coffee break)

If you like action (literally and metaphorically) and don't try to kill me.

[tl,dr: detective whose significant other/co-worker was a dirty cop and now she's out for revenge -- bringing her back after a super-long rp break, so appreciate literally anyone who wants to hang out with her.]
codenametesla: (sip)

They'd have to be patient till she learns she's not as dangerous as she thinks

[personal profile] codenametesla 2023-08-26 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
[She didn't write this. She's trying not to be embarrassed.
tl,dr: electrokinetic oc who is scared of her abilities after being told she was wanted more as a weapon than a person, but also fascinated with the potential and wants to be helpful.]
perpetualnight: (pic#16660213)

Probably won't work out if you're particularly averse to biting, among other things.

Meeting someone he can take home to his family is a lot harder than it sounds.

[personal profile] cryptoherpetology 2023-08-26 11:49 am (UTC)(link)
[ He feels like that might be an understatement. ]
