outofshadows | Shipping Meme

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!

She had dressed with intent. A snug gown with a high, flared collar that both framed and exposed her throat. Three quarter sleeves exposed her wrists. She'd even gone without her crest and the gown's square cut collar displayed the tops of her heavy breasts. She didn't often wear such Uhran style dresses, but all the books about vampires always had women in these sorts of things.

And as she had constrained her reading to romance novels, Ming was rather certain she'd achieved the effect she'd intended. Normally she simply delivered Spike an already filled chalice, but her interest and curiosity had only grown, the longer she knew the man. And the more she thought about him and his nature, and her and hers.

If nothing else, it didn't hurt to ask. If he wasn't interested, he wasn't, and that was that. But if he was...

Ming knocked on his door lightly, hoping she didn't look too eager.

Eager... perhaps not. But there was something different about her, and not just her clothes. The air of anticipation, as well as... hunger. She smelled different. It had Spike confused, and then worried.

"Ming," he said, leaning on the jamb lazily, shirt unbuttoned and untucked as he'd thrown it on. "You all right, love?"

"I am, thank you for asking." Goodness, he looked handsome, mussed and rumpled as he was, shirt open to show a line of naked skin. He was so beautifully pale, like an unpainted statue come to life.

"And I hope you are, as well. May I come in?"

He found his eyes drawn to the shadow between her breasts, then her neck, then back, as if unable to decide on the more tempting locale. Then he recalled himself, backing up.

"Yeah, sure," he said. "Been awhile. You, ah, makin' sure I'm still behaving myself?" He smirked at her, but the effect was a little marred by the way her strangely formal presentation was distracting him.

Spike seemed utterly perplexed. Or at the very least thrown off. She didn't blame him, and Ming took pity on him, entering the room and folding her hands before her demurely.

"Actually," she admitted, fixing him with a mild gaze, "I came here hoping to seduce you. I won't be offended if you say no."
