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!

"Slept way longer than I normally do, so that's something." Gaila told him in a complimentary tone. Orions only needed four hour burts of sleep and a few times through the day, that she'd had one big long sleep was a testament to how worn out she'd been.

She opened a single blue eye before pulling the blankets higher. "We sleep differently to your species." She informed him.

"How long have we been out?" He asked finally yawning a bit. He had not expected to sleep like he did either. Dorian tended to sleep about 6 hours in the daytime in the temple cause his internal clock is all jacked up. "I feel I should be a little proud, but something tells me all credit goes to you."

Despite his love of warmth he shifted to pull the arm around her free just long enough to lay it over the top of the cover and pull her a little closer. Lovely and oh so warm. He knew he couldn't stay here all day or night but he couldn't bring himself to leave yet. "Oh? How do you normally sleep?" He inquired.

"Dunno. Eight maybe nine hours?" Gaila yawned before shutting her eyes yet again and burying a little tighter against him and down into the bed. "M'not entirely sure." Either way it was far longer than she ever usually slept all at once. "We sleep in increments through the day and night. No more than four hours at a time." The Orion informed him.

"That's quite a bit of time, I've normally been only getting six myself since I came here." From sunrise to sunset he was dead to the world back home, there was no option to be awake in the day. "It matters not, I am happy where I am. Unless you wish for me to go." Something told him she was happy with him there. The snuggles and the warmth it was nice.

He felt almost alive leeching off her warmth and having someone so close and affectionate on him. "Humans used to do that, back in the dark ages, or at least before gas lights became a fashion. Sleep once and wake for a few hours to return to sleep a few hours later." He was a rambler at times but history amused him. "You're quite beautiful, you know." He spoke the last bit a bit lower closer to her forehead.

"No. Y'good." Gaila shot down his offer of leaving. If he was clearly uncomfortable she might have tried to encourage him to leave if he wanted to. But seeing as he seemed happy to have pillow talk and cuddle up with her, she was more than happy to enable that kind of behaviour.

"I know." She confirmed. "S'why I was a slavegirl. They only picked the prettiest ones." Never really the smart ones but she had been somewhat of an anomaly despite her habit of answering back she'd made an excellent slavegirl.
