Day 16

[It's raining steadily today.]

[The poll board this morning has switched over to proclaim:]

MORGEN AND RUSSI . . . ARE A MATCH ☆


[Nicon has shown up again, slightly dressed down from his usual slightly formal outfit, hair down out of its high ponytail. He looks a little tired, but relaxed and in high spirits.]

"Good work, everybody. I knew you could do it. You know, Morgen and Russi, if you wanted to stick around, I'm okay with it. Or you can head off on your own. I wouldn't want you to miss time hanging out with people, and it's at a point where I don't think it'll interfere . . ."

[He lets that trail off. But yes—Morgen and Russi can choose to stick around, for now, unless they were looking forward to that date, of course.]

[ the poll ]

[Your goal today is to pair off with someone you think might be your own soulbonded. Remember, this needs to be consensual, and it must be pairs.]

[Functionally, the poll below has only members of the black team. White team members are responsible for placing a vote on their partner only when you and your partner have mutually decided. You can do so AT ANY TIME—if you come to an agreement with a partner early on in the day, please do toss up a vote so it's clear to everyone that you're thinking about it! You can switch things around later, or move your vote to "I'm thinking about it…" if you're reconsidering. You can also handwave the discussion and pair up OOCly; the key part is that we don't end up with two people on one person, anyone without a pair, or an OOC misunderstanding that would make it a one-sided agreement.]

This poll is closed.

Stripe me in honey and blindfold me?

Messy can be lovely, when you're in the mood for it.
morgen: (smile)

[personal profile] morgen 2017-07-28 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
Well. If you want to get acquainted with mess, but not intimate with it, I suggest taking someone down to the beach, kneeling in the wet sand, and kissing them in the shallows and the surf. The principles will rapidly become transparent.

You see? I think you're developing an idea already.

Dear, dear deer.

Darling, I'd love to. Is it mess in particular you want to hear more about? Or water? Or simply ...

[he reaches out to trail one fingertip down Nicon's forearm]

Light, harmless physical flirtation?
morgen: (smug)

[personal profile] morgen 2017-07-28 04:03 am (UTC)(link)
All of the above. Delightful. Well, the first secret? The first secret it is easy. Flirtation is about the comfortable escalation of contact.

[he looks down, then looks up, wide-eyed, a smile on his lips that's just for Nicon]

You want to pay attention to your partner. Looks, smiles, conversation - directed their way more than towards anyone else. If they look back, smile back, warm to the conversation - then and only then, when you're as certain as you can be you're interesting them, and not frightening them - do you move forward. You must always retreat...

[he leans back]

Rather than invade. Invite, and let them follow.
morgen: (smug)

[personal profile] morgen 2017-07-28 04:08 am (UTC)(link)
Then, when they follow, you mirror. They make themselves comfortable close to you, and you answer by moving just... a little... closer.

[he'll shift slowly, leaning in, a sliding half-step, until their shoulders brush, a momentary casual contact]
morgen: (smile)

[personal profile] morgen 2017-07-28 04:11 am (UTC)(link)
Yes. When it doesn't give you the shivers.

[as their arms line up, he'll trace his fingers over the pulse points of Nicon's wrist, gently, but no longer so casual that it could be mistaken for coincidence]
morgen: (smile)

[personal profile] morgen 2017-07-28 04:16 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, love. It does. Fortunately for me, you are. But then - what does 'lovely' mean for you?
morgen: (smile)

[personal profile] morgen 2017-07-28 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
Good. Then you just make sure they're responding positively one step at a time, and discover what they like... or show them what you do.

Beaches and gardens are especially likely to be winners for most, but tastes vary.
morgen: (smug)

[personal profile] morgen 2017-07-28 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
It sounds like you might have a very good idea of what they like already.

If I can ask, love. Which of them is it?
