Welcome to the ToS Shipping Meme! The rules are simple.

1. Post your character/preferences.
2. Reply to other characters with one of the following scenarios
3. Ship it!

Remember, this is just a fun meme so you can ship things that would NEVER SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY in game. Yay for no in-character consequences to bad decisions.

SCENARIOS
1. Stupid Cupid Your characters stumble upon a room in the temple that is dedicated to Berkano, which is the rune of love and new beginnings. Think Midsummer Night's Dream. Your characters may be close friends, strangers, or sworn enemies. Whatever the case is, they are now suddenly and inexplicably in complete and total love. They may or may not be aware that this makes no sense, but they can't help themselves.

2. Some Like It Hot Forget love and new beginnings. Your characters have ACTUALLY stumbled upon a room in the temple that is dedicated to Kenaz, the rune of fire, passion, and sex. There's no stopping you, even if you tried. Luckily, the room is prepared for that, and comes equipped with a bed. Whether or not you guys make it that far across the room is another question.

3. I Can Hear The Bells Your characters are getting married. Maybe it's true love, maybe it's to get out of marrying Tristan, maybe you're being forced into it and this ship is a little dub-con, or maybe it's because you accidentally participated in some Nysgod ritual and weren't aware of its implications. Either way, the wedding is about to happen or just has. How do you feel about that?

4. I Don't Want To Go Your character has been determined to NOT be the one for Tristan. Whether or not they like it, they're being sent home. Do they choose to spend it with a close friend, with the one they love? Or maybe, do they decide to finally tell that person they've always had a crush on just how they feel? You only have one night left, what you do with it is up to you.

5. The First Time Your characters are interested in each other and it's time to do something about it. Either the first date, the first kiss, the first I love you....or some other significant first. Whatever it is, it's definitely time to take that step. So who's going to take the initiative?

6. The Morning After Your characters definitely went at it. Maybe it's the first time, maybe they're cheating on someone, maybe it was out of anger. Whatever the case, for some reason, it was significant and you're going to have to talk about it. Good morning, Starshine! The earth says it's time for some cuddling and/or awkward conversation.

7. Potpourri Have another idea? Pregnancy, proposal, accidental body contact, trapped together, caught in the rain, hurt/comfort, etc? Go for it! Make your own scenarios up and run with them.

NOTE: Feel free to throw any mirrors into play if you're interested!

Gaila's species don't sleep like humans. Orions sleep little and often and upon waking up late into the night she had gone wandering. The garden had seemed too perfect to be true. There was even a pond to dip her toes in as she sat under a massive and ancient willow.

The sound of the door opening however was enough to make her peek out from underneath the willow's branches at the intruder. Only they weren't an intruder. Gaila felt her heart leap in a way she'd only felt once or twice before. It wasn't just lust. She knew lust all too well. This was emotional. She could feel it in her very bones. She stood up, peering from behind the tree, feeling for one of the first times a little bit shy.

Cheeks going an odd purplish colour she managed to whisper out a "Hi." It took the best will of strength not to giggle like a maniac.

What was that smell? Angel had smelled a lot of things in his {un}life, the sweetest to date was the Slayer's blood, until tonight. When she speaks and turns around, he's struck speechless. He takes a few awestruck steps towards her, his hand extended before he remembers himself and grins stupidly. She was the most beautiful creature he'd ever seen.

"Hi." It takes him a second before he realizes he hasn't said anything else. "I'm.. uh, I'm Angel."

She couldn't help but giggle this time from equal parts nervousness and giddiness as she came out from behind her tree properly. "Gaila." She told him. "My name is Gaila." And just Gaila, thank you very much, none of that last name fussing. "I've never seen you before." She told him, voice a little breathier than usual. She would know if she'd seen him before.

Could that grin split any wider? No, she's topped him out. "Gaila." He lets it roll off his tongue, trying out the word he's somehow already convinced he'll be saying forever. He takes another awkward nervous step towards her.

"I haven't been here that long. I think I saw you at the announcement." The war one? Yeah. But he didn't see her like this. It's impossible that the room was able to hide her brightness; surely he must be dumb. Something in him wants to write a sonnet and whoo her Shakespearean style. Well. All the romance, none of the pain.

"This kinda feels like fate."

She stepped foward in tandem with him.

"Yeah, I know what you mean." Because why else would her heart be pounding out of her chest like this? "I mean, not everybody's up at this time of night. And there must be thousands of rooms in this temple, if not more. I mean, the likelihood of us both being awake at the same time and in the same place and--" She broke off into a nervous laugh, pushing a hand through her curly hair.

"Fuck, I am talking way too much."
