Welcome to the Jungle [Open]

[thetaintedsorrow]

Who: Chuuya (thetaintedsorrow) & you!
What: May catch-all! Featuring adventures in Khalo village and Flona Cove.
When: May!
Where: Various!
Warning(s): Possible NSFW, but it’ll be marked.



I. Chuuya in Wonderland

[After hearing the news that Khalo Village had opened up to visitors for the first time in centuries, Chuuya had decided that it was something he definitely needed to see. Who knows if he’ll ever get another opportunity to explore the place? Visiting new places and experiencing the culture there is always fun, so he might as well go while he can!

Of course that means he’ll have to smoke fyrra, the weed that allows those who aren’t full-blood Khali to enter the village without falling into a deep slumber. It’s pretty much just fancy weed, and Chuuya feels slightly more relaxed after smoking it, but it’s definitely not as good as booze. It does, however, allow him to enter the area around the village, and so he does, not expecting anything to go awry.

So of course he ends up stepping on a large purple mushroom and shrinking down to the size of a thimble. Shit.

Luckily he’s still able to use his gravity manipulating ability, and he’ll climb up the nearest tall tree while waving his arms and shouting in a tiny voice to the first passer-by he sees.]

Oi! Over here! Hey!

II. Voulez-Vous Coucher Avec Moi? [Probably NSFW, Closed to CR]

[Once Chuuya actually reaches the village and obtains the antidote to return him to his normal size he’ll need a break to relax, and what better way to do so than to visit one of the many smoking lounges? According to the locals, regular fyrra is available here, as well a strain that causes “an even higher elevated mood, as well as increased sexual desire and heightened sensation.”

Sounds fun, right? Chuuya already has a head start, lounging on a rather plush looking couch in a black silk robe that resembles a kimono. He seems to be in a good mood.

Care to join him?]

III. Flying High

[Temporary flight potions are readily available in Khalo Village, and Chuuya will excitedly encourage anyone who comes along to drink one so that he can have a flying buddy at long last! Will you take him up on that offer?

Oops, he’s already tugging on your arm!]

C’mon! It’ll be a blast!

IV. Tame the Beast

[The Taming Fields are an area near the village where beasts that the Khali have tamed roam free. Chuuya can’t help but wander over to one of them, a rhinoceros-like creature covered in moss with flowers on its horns (called a Mossley by the Khali), and try his hand at petting it. The creature seems docile and friendly, and it leans into his touch.

According to the locals, Mossleys are drawn to two people with positive emotional bonds, and enjoy laying between them. Will you be one of those people? Or does Chuuya grate on your nerves?

Grinning, he waves over the nearest person to share in the experience.]

Ever seen anything like it?

V. Beach Episode

[When he returns from his excursion to Khalo Village Chuuya will be itching for a trip to the beach, and you can find him on the shore soaking up some sun, in the water swimming around, or enjoying a cocktail in the shade.

However, said cocktail isn’t your run of the mill booze; it’ll turn him into an exact copy of whoever approaches him! How bizarre!

Will you hang out with him on the beach or engage in some silly clone shenanigans?]

Wildcard!

[Have something you wanna plot with me? I’m over at arcanestardust! Don’t be shy!]

Comments

[steponme]

[The absolute sweetest... not that Shell's will be much better, for all that it doesn't exist. He lets out some sort of mumble in response, holding Chuuya close and letting the warm feeling between them lull him off to sleep...]


[But you know what happens when you fall asleep on the floor?]

[You wake up on the floor. Sticky with sweat and blood and other fun fluids that don't exactly make for a romantic morning after. But they are getting a morning after, and for once, there's no hangover involved!]

[He's significantly more sore than usual though. He tries at first ti just push Chuuya to the side, forgetting that they're on the floor, but his back is so stiff he can't quite manage it alone.]

Nnng... Chuuya, you're heavy...

[thetaintedsorrow]

[Honestly, Chuuya hadn’t meant to fall asleep right there on top of Shell, but here is is, snoozing away right up until Shell tries pushing him off. He grumbles, insistent on staying right where he is. It’s nice and warm, and Shell makes a great pillow-

But then he shifts a little and pain lances right up his spine, jolting him awake. After that it only takes a few seconds for the unpleasant sticky sensation to set in, and Chuuya grunts as he rolls over off of Shell to try and recover.]

...shit. My back is killing me.

[He feels like an old man with all these new aches and pains. They should’ve waited till they got to the bed...]

...how are you holding up?

[If Chuuya is this sore, then he can’t even imagine how much pain Shell is in.]

[steponme]

[There is a new level of pain going on down here... not as bad as the time he was whipped, but damn if it doesn't feel close. All those bite marks are throbbing in a way that he's definitely enjoying, yeah, but all it takes is a single attempt to push himself up before he lets out a whine of defeat.]

...I don't think I can stand up.

[thetaintedsorrow]

...oh.

[Chuuya hardly ever feels guilty about anything, but seeing Shell struggle to even sit up, and making such a pained noise...]

Hang on.

[Chuuya activates his ability and touches Shell’s arm before floating him gently over to the bed and laying him down on it. He hopes you don’t mind, Shell.]

Just stay there for now.

[Chuuya pushes himself up on wobbly legs and goes to wet a couple of cloths for them before returning and handing one to Shell.]

Until you feel like taking a bath.

[steponme]

[HE FLAILS only a little, which really does nothing for his back or any of his other aches right now. But the moment he's set on the bed and slowly sinks into it, he lets out a little content sigh. Despite the pain (or heck, maybe because of it) he's actually in a pretty great mood.]

Thanks... [No spongebath service?? smh. But okay, he can somewhat wipe himself down without moving his back too much, and at least get most of the mess off his stomach and chest.]

Mmm... but it's been a while since I've been this sore after. You were really something else, you know.

[gekkajuu]

Hm? Oh - no, I don't really have plans... It seems like we're allowed to stay here for a while, anyway.

[So no rush, as far as Atsushi is concerned. Yes, there are things he wants to see and do in Khalo, but there's still time. He's not about to rush himself.

Besides, the Mossley is really cute, even if it's determined to stay between them.]

If we lie down around his head, we can at least still see each other.

[thetaintedsorrow]

Good plan.

[Maybe Chuuya wasn’t big on letting himself lie around back home (too much to do), but here? He can take the time lie on his side, curled around the Mossley’s head with his top half still visible.]

Heh. We keep ending up in these romantic settings.

[It’s just an observation; the beach, and now this. The only thing that’s missing is a sky full of stars.

Chuuya thinks, anyway. What even is romance? What is waking up next to someone after a heated night? Chuuya has no idea how to do the whole lovey dovey thing, but he can get into the softer moments if it makes his heart feel this warm.]

S’nice.

[thetaintedsorrow]

[Chuuya settles on the edge of the bed next to Shell, and he’ll help him clean up the places he can’t reach without bending too far. Which is, embarrassingly enough, his inner thighs and a bit lower.

Chuuya flushes a pretty shade of scarlet at that compliment, but keeps his huffy tsundere face on.]

That so?

[Of course he hadn’t doubted his abilities as a lover, but it’s nice to hear that his first attempt at topping was successful.]

You too.

[Once Chuuya has cleaned up Shell reasonably well he starts wiping himself down as well.]

Make sure you wash the bites better in the bath.

[steponme]

[O h . . . well in that case, Shell isn't really going to reply for a bit, because he's gonna enjoy that a little too much.]

[Way too much, actually. The bites on his thigh are among the worst, and just touching them has him gasping and biting back a groan. But then he just keeps going, and soon Shell's gone to actively gripping the bed, his cock already half hard again.]

[Which is a little embarrassing, honestly, and at some point he's going to reach up to cover his slowly-reddening face with a hand.]

...y-yeah. I will. D-Don't worry...

[notwagging]

The best ones are the kind that have been freshly cleaned. Or, need to be cleaned.

[ almost as if it had ears itself, Keaton's tail goes from a slow steady swish to a rapid fire wag. ]

Maybe. Uh... I don't know what's in there, so you gotta be careful.

[ there's nothing. but hey. there's always a warning attached when Keaton's involved. ]

[colorature]

Are they?

_{[She seems suddenly excited by the affirmation that it's as squishy as it looks, and so Diva wastes no time in following in Chuuya's footsteps, squatting down to reach out and poke the top of the beached creature.]}

It is!

[thetaintedsorrow]

Yup.

[Luckily the jellyfish don’t seem to be a threat like this.]

Do you like swimming? Maybe you’ll see more stuff in the water.

[gekkajuu]

[Atsushi lies down on the other side of the Mossley, making himself comfortable. For all that the animal is between them, it feels more like an addition than a blockade this way.]

... It seems that way, doesn't it?

[It's all very cliche with the romance, but Atsushi for one doesn't mind. Even with his various relationships being fairly casual, they are so much more than he ever thought he'd have - and they've come to him so easily and naturally that he still doesn't understand how they happened.]

I know that it's silly to say, but... even if we've had some terrible things happen from time to time, sometimes I think we really are blessed by Thesa.

[So that's just silly make-believe, and the space station definitely isn't a goddess. What does it matter when the Natha are as good as gods, and Atsushi's life has improved impossibly since coming here?]

[thetaintedsorrow]

[Chuuya has never believed in a higher power, and he knows damn well that the Natha aren’t gods, but they are incredibly powerful, and Chuuya can’t say he’s not grateful to have been saved from the Storm. He doesn’t like being in anyone’s debt, but at least he’s able to live as he likes here, which is both a blessing and a curse.

He sets his hat aside so that he can lie down easier, placing his flower inside of it. It’s convenient for storing things sometimes, okay? He can’t say he’s ever been one for picking flowers, but this one is obviously special.]

Maybe.

[He glances over at Atsushi. Chuuya really has formed so many good relationships here, more than he ever had back home. He can’t help but wonder if he’s actually still asleep in the pod and dreaming all this up sometimes...]

Or maybe it’s just luck.

[And maybe that luck will run out, so he might as well make the most of the time he has, right?

It’s silly, but Chuuya finds himself craving physical contact much more often these days, and maybe he’ll just reach out and very subtly brush gloved fingers over Atsushi’s arm.]

Either way, the good is worth all the bad shit we’ve gone through, right? Plus you’ve got those healing powers now.

[thetaintedsorrow]

[Chuuya stops wiping at the bites when it becomes obvious what kind of reaction Shell is having to his efforts. Chuuya raises an eyebrow; he hasn’t done anything but touch the bites...

He’s kinkshaming you, Shell.]

Surprised you’re still this eager.

[But Christ almighty, Chuuya might be young and resilient, but he doesn’t have it in him for another rough bang session just yet.]

There. You’re mostly clean. You’ll need a bath to do the rest.

[steponme]

V-Vampires have more stamina than humans do! [This depends heavily on the vampire and human being compared. But at least in Shell's case, his sexual appetite was pretty insatiable.]

[But okay, he'll take that shaming to heart and try and push himself up into a sitting position -- wincing both from his back and... other places. He's gonna be limping for the next few days at this rate...]

Actually, now that I think of it... I think the only places here for bathing are in the water in the center of the village.

[.......]

M-Maybe... no one will notice...

[He says as if he isn't just about covered in bite marks. Looks like someone is getting a public shaming at some point today.]

[thetaintedsorrow]

[Chuuya really didn’t take it easy on the guy, did he? He knows what it feels like to be on the verge of limping after a night of rough, hard sex, so he can definitely sympathize.]

Maybe.

[They’re definitely going to notice. Even moreso if Shell goes out there with a boner.

...]

Do you want me to get you off again?

[He won’t fuck Shell again so soon, but there’s plenty of other ways to get him off. He’ll just slide his hands over Shell’s thighs to try and get more of that same reaction from earlier.

Turns out Chuuya is pretty insatiable too.]

[thetaintedsorrow]

Let’s see then.

[Chuuya comes around behind Keaton and starts by sliding his fingers through the fur along the tip of Keaton’s tail. It’s not quite as soft as his ears, but still fluffy and pleasant to touch.]

It’s a nice tail.

[gekkajuu]

I don't think I could possibly have this much luck.

[Which reflects his opinion on Chuuya and everyone else as much as it says about Atsushi's self-image. This really is a lot to get thrown in his lap, though! Friends, intimate relationships, a good job (several, even!), a house...]

Yes... Sometimes I think I should use them more, because it seems a shame not to - but there are other healers, and the Royal Guard can use me, too...

[He no longer overdoes everything, he doesn't think, but he sure does keep busy. That makes him happy, though. It's just strange when he manages to accomplish more than he used to, with less time and effort.

Chuuya's gloved fingers give Atsushi goosebumps, and he strains to leans in for a quick kiss. The Mossley is probably going to demand attention right after, though: how could it not, with this positive bond being expressed?]

[steponme]

Wh-What? Oh, you don't-- h-have to... nnng...

[The bite wounds are extremely sensitive right now -- not just for how rough they are, but given they made no attempt at treating them last night, the skin around them is still bright red and sensitive. Even without touching his cock, the sharp sparks of pain that shoot up from touching each and every one of those bites is already filling him with plenty of pleasure.]

[What a pervert he is, to be so excited by such a thing... he doesn't even need fyrra to find the sensations overwhelming, honestly.]

[thetaintedsorrow]

Maybe your luck has changed since you got here.

[Whether it be luck or blessings, Chuuya can’t say he minds all of this. His only true lament is the loss of the Mafia and a purpose driving him, but maybe another purpose has been hiding in plain sight this entire time.]

They came in handy.

[Chuuya would’ve been in pretty terrible shape by the time he’d have been able to make it to another healer that night, so he’s definitely a fan of those powers.

The kiss comes as a complete surprise, and the Mossley does indeed make a happy little sound for them. Chuuya, meanwhile, is blushing ever so slightly, because little displays of affection like that are far more likely to fluster him than anything sexual.]

...do that again.

[It’s oddly thrilling to have Atsushi make the first move, and Chuuya definitely likes it.]

[notwagging]

Of course. It is my tail, after all.

[ his furry wagger goes still upon Chuuya's touch, allowing him the maximum time to touch every long hair without getting whipped around by his insatiable need to move it about in a frenzy. ]

Humans love tails. It's probably one of the reasons why they'd go out of the way to hunt us.

[thetaintedsorrow]

Not exactly. I lived in the city, so there were trees and parks and stuff, but nothing like this.

[But he still misses Yokohama dearly...]

Shell said vampires don’t really get cold. Is that true?

[thetaintedsorrow]

[Honestly? It’s fun to tease and torment Shell like this. Just a tiny bit. Chuuya would never be downright cruel, but nobody ever said he wasn’t a cocktease.]

I don’t have to, no.

[Chuuya squeezes Shell’s thighs before breathing hot right over his cock. He doesn’t use his hand or tongue just yet, wanting to see how much Shell can take before he’s begging for it.]

[thetaintedsorrow]

Hunt?

[Chuuya’s stroking stops for a moment as he looks at Keaton curiously.]

Humans hunted you? That’s so messed up in a million different ways.
