Fight Club | cw: violence, mind control
[For those who venture down to the see the underground fights, they might find a peculiar scene waiting for them. Standing in the arena and awaiting his opponent is Shell. But for those who know him, there's really no questions that he's not exact;y the fighting type. What's he doing there? Well...]

A. VS (Previous CR only please!)
[...it looks like he's your opponent today. He doesn't look very intimidating, not particularly dressed down beyond having taken off his jacket and scarf, and he doesn't seem to be holding a weapon of any kind. But something you might notice is that a good chunk of the crowd seems to be stepping back. You probably haven't seen what he can do yet -- but even the refferee looks a little standoffish, climbing up over the barricade to stand atop it, out of reach. But as for Shell-- well, he didn't expect to see anyone he knew here.]

...what are you doing here?

B. Domination (OTA)
[...it looks like his battle is about to start. If you're smart, and you've chosen to follow the crowd in sitting in one of the higher seats, then you'll only see the "battle" play out. Shell enters, and just as his opponent starts getting into stance to fight, he suddenly freezes and collapses to his knees. As Shell steps closer, the man starts to scream, pleading for it to "stop" -- whatever it is. Eventually, Shell leans down and whispers something to him, and he starts screaming for the refferee that he gives up.]

[But if you were curious enough to stay as close to the ring as possible, then you'll get to experience what those sitting in the higher seats can only watch: a strong sense of fear and dread seemingly emanates off the battle arena, causing those sitting closest to experience effects similar to the man in the ring. Some start crying, others scream, but most of them only stand and stare in petrified silence. Even the refferee seems affected for a few moments, taking far too long to end the match and give Shell the win.]

[And the moment he does, the heavy atmosphere disappears as suddenly as it appeared. But as Shell heads off stage to wait for his next match, for some reason, he doesn't look very happy about it.]


[ooc: Feel free to alter prompts as you see fit! Let me know in Prompt A whether your character will be effected by Shell's pheromones, as they have a 25% chance of failing entirely. Please note that if you choose to have your character sit too close in Prompt B, they will be affected as well. If you'd like to avoid that, have them sit further back!]

[steponme]

...Reign, how many of your perfumes have aphrodisiacs in them?

[A question he didn't think he'd have to ask, but apparently he was wrong??]

[...]

[Also excuse him while he grabs one of the cushions off the couch to hide his boner, answering Reign's question without really answering. At least there's no dragon blood making him bold enough to mount Reign like a goddamn lion right now??]

[eaudevamp]

Only this one. Though I'd thought to combine with dragon blood essence previously.

[ Reign himself didn't quite mind flashing his boner, compared to Shell. However, he did shift and push himself further to the end of the couch, putting some distance between them. ]

...that would be a bad idea, wouldn't it?

[ Yeah, definitely. What if Reign begun selling this particular perfume without proper testing? Nysan orgy everywhere. ]

I... I think we've done enough testing today.

[steponme]

I think that depends on what you're selling it for... but I can't see someone using a perfume like that everyday.

[But he probably has a great future in curing erectile dysfunction??]

[Unfortunately for Reign, Shell's not going to be making it any easier for him to try and power through the arousal. He still feels hot, and although he's covered his shame and is pointedly staying on his side of the couch, he does... unbutton a few of the top buttons of his shirt... tugging it open as with a sigh.]

[He knows he could probably use his pheromones to overpower the scent again, but if Reign's affected too, that probably wouldn't end well, right?]

[eaudevamp]

M-maybe one of the high-end version of the perfume, then. One that is only used on certain occasions.

[ Yeah, "certain occasions" included a night out, perhaps on a date, or even something to entice someone. It definitely would make an excellent medical research for ED.

Probably because Reign had been hard already no thanks to Shell's pheromones earlier, this perfume didn't affect him as much as it did Shell. But that didn't stop his eyes from roaming over the flash of skin as Shell unbuttoned his shirt a bit. ]

I think I've something that can help us.

[ It wouldn't be recommended if Shell were to use his pheromones again. Things could get... awkward. Either way, Reign stood and head into the kitchen, soon returning with a bowl containing something that looked like brown coloured beans. ]

Here, smell this. It'll help clear the scent away.

[ Hopefully? At least, that was what Reign had read about the usefulness of coffee beans. ]

[steponme]

[Shell would argue that he knows exactly what would help him, but tbh he's not sure he trusts how thin these walls might be.]

[But he'll stay where he is, curiously watching as Reign disappears into the kitchen and... comes back with coffee beans? He'll take his word for it, smelling them--]

[AND IMMEDIATELY MAKES A FACE]

That's... pretty strong. It's coffee, right?

[It does help the smell that lingered in his nose go away, but the effects... are slower to leave.]

[eaudevamp]

[ They didn't have only neighbours to worry about, but Scorch as well. What will his pet giraffe think about all the potential raucous sounds? He didn't want to traumatise his poor baby. ]

Yeah, that's right.

[ Reign took the bowl from Shell, bringing it close to his nose as he too took deep breaths of it. Definitely helped to clear the scents, before returning it back to Shell. His friend definitely seemed to need it more. ]

Feeling better?

[steponme]

[Oh no, see, the real concern was Reign pressing his ear up against the wall while Shell jerked off. We've all read the comic okay, we know he's not exactly quiet.]

A little. I don't feel as hot anymore.

[He still totally has a boner though. The pillow stays in place!!]

...not that I don't want to help you, but don't you think you should be testing perfumes like this with someone you wouldn't mind... you know, dealing with the side-effects with?

[ie: Don't spray him with faux-pheromone person laced with aphro if ur gonna cockblock him?? Not that he knows whether Reign has anyone like that here.]

[...]

[Actually, it's not something he considered at all, really.]

[eaudevamp]

[ To be fair, Reign wouldn't mind hearing it at all, though he knew that Shell would rather suffer through his hard-on than try to get himself off, especially with the risk of Reign being a voyeur (using his ears). ]

I did have someone in mind to test the perfume on, and I usually test them on myself as well, but I didn't think to do it with these batches.

[ Would Mephisto be a good test subject? Since the demon tended to use him as a guinea pig too. ]

I'll... try to be more careful.

[ Which meant testing everything on himself, but with the added effect of Shell probably coming home to a very high-strung and horny Reign. ]

A-anyway, I should get back to working on the formulas, while you... [ He did a vague wave in Shell's general direction, briefly gazing pointedly at his groin. Yeah. ]

[steponme]

[Someone in mind... damn, he's curious and wants to ask, but. If Reign didn't say who they were, it's probably someone Shell doesn't know. For a reason, maybe?]

[--no, he can't let himself get jealous over something silly again! Especially not when he has no right to be feeling jealous in the first place. He should... he should take care of this before it starts clouding his own judgement.]

[And so he stands, turning quickly before Reign can see just how much he's tenting his pants. It's a little ridiculous tbh.]

All right. I'll let you get back to work. I think... I'll go take a shower.

[A long, as icy as he can possibly get the water to be, shower.]

[eaudevamp]

[ To be honest, Reign was feeling a tad bit possessive of Mephisto, and while he wouldn't mind introducing Shell to the demon, there was the slightest possibility of Mephisto turning his attention towards his best friend.

But if faith brought those two together, who was Reign to stop it. Then again, he wasn't sure if Shell would be ready to meet Mephisto either. Yeah, not gonna think about that feeling about a particular demon.

Pfft, Shell, even trying to hide your erection does nothing to Reign. He'd seen Shell naked before. Well, as naked as possible with those bondage harness. ]

You do that. I'll shower later.

[ Reign will stand, picking up his sample bottles and head for his little work table. Time to work on these formulas! He had a lot to accomplish. ]
