the man couldn't help but chuckle at his phone. What he joking around, or was he just that bored enough to need something to play with for tonight. only she'll find out once she comes around.

[TEXT] Too late, I'm on my way already.

Why would she bother taking back what she said if he was going for it? She felt like she was more likely to regret not going. Even though it was through a hologram, he left a great first impression on her. Why did he have to be so hot?

[TEXT] I was only going to take it back to be polite, you know. :P [TEXT] Just make sure you don't have any really pressing matters to attend to, or I'll be disappointed.

[TEXT] Well, if you need some kind of action, I'll be up for it.

[TEXT] ... Or just sit and enjoy the day.

Oh. Well then. Her Freudian slip may not have been entirely unwarranted... or unwanted. Stelle could sneak out from the crew's hotel for just one night.

i've always wanted to do this.

oh, shut up and kiss me.

have you ever done this before?

lay down with me. please.

do you want to come upstairs?

i believe i promised you a kiss.

tell me if you want me to stop.

we could try tonight.

don't go. kiss me again.

how does that feel?

was that your first time?

you taste so good.

it's been so long since someone held me.

i've thought about doing this for a long time.

tell me if you want more.

when was the last time someone touched you like this?

you're so soft.

i don't want to stop.

kiss me.

i wish i could kiss you.

you're safe here. i've got you.

i'm not used to being held like that.

please take my hand.

help me take this off.

you're a much better kisser than i expected.

did we just do that?

come here. i need you.

do you want to be with me?

go slow.

i'm not sure if i'm doing this right.

please be gentle. i'm not used to this.

can i kiss you?

put your fingers in my hair.

if i kissed you right now, would you be mad?

come into my arms.

let's just take it slow.

that was perfect.

you're so beautiful.

tell me when you're ready.

stay close to me.

i could stare into your eyes forever.

mind if i take this off?

don't make me beg.

do you like it when i touch you?

come closer. it's okay.

i dreamt about us kissing.

i only kissed your cheek. it doesn't count.

can i lay here with you?

that feels really nice.

i need you close to me.

i've never done this before, with anyone.

can we do that again?

i like it when you hold me.

why don't we try? what could go wrong?

we'll just take this one step at a time.

i can see all your freckles up close.

touch me.

i could kiss you forever.

i'm so sorry. i don't know what came over me.

was that a moan?

maybe we could make up for lost time?

come to my bedroom tonight.

lay with me.

i'm not sure what to do.

i've lost track of time.

we need to be careful.

you're so handsome.

you never did give me that kiss you promised.

no one's ever made me feel this way.

do you like it when i do that?

you can kiss me again, you know.

i like it when you kiss my neck.

that feels good.

someone could hear us.

Stelle tried so hard not to roll her eyes at the general's comment. It figured he'd be a womanizer; handsome men like him often were. Still, she had to admit, he wore his scars well. Damn, he was attractive. This was as good an excuse as any to see him shirtless, even if he was bleeding.

okay so i got like, three books delivered this week, and in anticipation i reread another book that i had, and lads, let me tell ye, it was like quicksand. so now i have a list, some from my head, many from my wonderful friends’ heads, of prompts that basically made us all very soft or very “pleasantly scandalized rich lady from the sixties who just found out a juicy bit of goss about the new neighbor”. i hope ye like them! (DO NOT ADD TO THE LIST. I WILL MAKE A PART TWO. AND THREE. AND FOUR. MANY MANY PARTS. EVENTUALLY. )

[ HAIR ]:          sender slowly reaches out to catch a loose strand of the receiver’s hair and tuck it gently and securely back behind their ear, letting their touch linger afterwards. (if the receiver has short hair, then the sender reaches out and gently runs their fingers through their hair to smooth it back.)

[ CLOSE ]:          while standing remarkably close to one another, the sender is unable to stop themselves from running their gaze across the receiver’s body, lingering for a moment on their lips, before returning to initiate prolonged, intense eye contact.

[ CHIN ]:          as they stand close to one another, the sender hooks a finger and tenderly lifts the receiver’s chin, tilting it up so that they can look at one another, and running a thumb across their skin lightly.

[ THUMB ]:          while cupping the receiver’s cheek in their hand, the sender slowly glides their thumb across their cheekbone in a tender, sweeping caress.

[ WOUND ]:          upon noticing a recent injury on the receiver’s person, the sender carefully moves closer, running a thumb (or hand) across the wound in a gentle, troubled manner.

[ INHALE ]:          while standing in very close quarters to the receiver, the sender shakily inhales with desire/anticipation as they realize how intimately close they are to one another.

[ DANCE ]:          when alone together (e.g. the bedroom, the kitchen, literally anywhere once they’re alone) the sender takes the receiver’s hand, and pulls them into a graceful yet intimate dance as a spontaneous act.

[ BARE ]:          as they get undressed, the sender gently places a soft, tender kiss against the receiver’s bare shoulder.

[ SCAR ]:          noticing a scar on the receiver’s skin, the sender tentatively stops them from covering it up, and rests a gentle, soft kiss over it.

[ FOREHEAD ]:          placing a hand on the back of the receiver’s neck, the sender guides them close and rests their foreheads together.

[ PALM ]:          taking the receiver’s hand, the sender brings it to their mouth, and places a tender kiss against the receiver’s palm.

[ LINGER ]:          taking the receiver’s hand, the sender lifts it to their lips, and gently kisses their knuckles, lingering for a moment before withdrawing.

[ BEHIND ]:         upon entering the same room as the receiver, the sender steps behind them, and winds their arms around the receiver’s waist, drawing them close against them.

[ WAIT ]:          realizing the receiver is about to leave the room, the sender hastily reaches out and catches their wrist, preventing them from continuing their departure.

[ ARM ]:          after holding their hand, the sender releases the receiver, but slowly glides their hand up the full length of their arm, lingering on the upper arm, then the shoulder, then resting their touch against the side of their neck.

[ HOLD ]:          while close to the receiver, the sender wordlessly takes a hold of their hand, for no other purpose than to be holding it.

[ PLAY ]:          while sitting together, the sender absently lifts the receiver’s hand, idly running their fingertips across the lines of their palms, mapping out every inch of their hand with slow, lazy touches.

[ GUIDE ]:          in the process of guiding the receiver through a crowded place, the sender’s hand protectively grazes against the small of their back

[ TOUCH ]:          while touching the receiver’s waist, the sender’s hand briefly dips beneath the hem of their shirt, skimming briefly across the bare skin of their waist.

[ CUP ]:           bringing both hands up to cup the receiver’s face, the sender draws them in closer to them in order to get a better look at their face.

[ TUG ]:          the sender tugs the receiver close against them by resting a hand against the small of their back, pulling them flush against their body.

[ HUSH ]:          while standing close to one another and hiding from pursuers, the sender reaches up and places a finger against the receiver’s lips to prevent them from speaking and revealing their location.

"You guys keep telling me I need better sleep habits, and then you wake me up when I do."

Ah... no effect. How unfortunate. Stelle no longer wanted to pretend that it didn't happen. Her brain began calculating why she would have kissed him, unbidden. Some 'prank' she came up with... "Wait, wait. I didn't wake you up; you were already getting up, so I just..." ... did something wildly inappropriate. She sighed.

& random dialogue prompts.

sampo swallows thickly, slow and deliberate, around the bile that's threatening to rise in the back of his throat; it takes every single ounce of acting skill he possesses to keep his expression friendly and open, his smile unassuming.

the wind shifts, and it hits him again: the overwhelming aroma of ... garbage.

( if he doesn't get out of here soon, this is going to end extremely badly. )

"what look ? you mean this look of happiness to see an old friend ? sampo is always happy to see his friends !" the sentence trails off, morphs into a breath of nervous laughter, and sampo rubs the back of his head, averting his gaze. a pause, and then: "ah ... well, it's just ... you see ... er ... have you been ... dumpster-diving recently ... ?"

Why was it that whenever Sampo was around, something very fishy was happening? The guardsmen didn't trust him one bit, and even Wildfire could be iffy about him. He was even acting cheerful, which only made Stelle more suspicious.

Could it have anything to do with the artifacts she'd found while digging through the trash?

sender kisses receiver to fluster them

Dan Heng groaned, still half asleep when he sat up. He'd fallen asleep in the parlor car, just a short nap from his glance at the time. Himeko and Mr. Yang were elsewhere, so at least he hadn't had any witnesses.

Besides Stelle, apparently.

Just as he was about to get to his feet, he felt Stelle's hand on his shoulder, pushing him back, and suddenly her lips were on his.

Finally, the crew was back on the Express and just about ready to go to their next stop. While the others were in their rooms or going about their daily chores, Stelle went back into the parlor car, thinking she would stretch out and enjoy some music. It wasn't until she'd changed the song on the phonograph that she noticed that she wasn't alone in there-- Dan Heng was sound asleep on one of the couches.

Time for a prank. But what...? She strode over to where he lied snoozing, considering the possibilities... but then, just as she closed the distance, he stirred. She had to think fast.

She wasn't sure why her inner voice said to kiss him, but she obeyed while she had the chance to catch him off guard. At least she'd get to see his embarrassed face as a reaction, maybe. It wasn't like he was a very expressive person; would it look different from his ordinary resting face?
