Summer Sun, Something's Begun | July Catch-All | Open

🧙 WHO: Darin Altway and YOU
⚔️️ WHAT: July Catch-All with Open and Closed prompts
🕒 WHEN: Throughout July
🗺️ WHERE: All around Camelot! Quests and shenanigans ahoy!
⚠️ WARNINGS: Some ridiculousness? Some fluff? Will update as necessary!

🛡️ SHIELD SUMMER FEVER! 🛡️ - OPEN

[Darin always felt bad for the people who could get sick. Back home, his powers prevented him from falling ill, even to such banal things as a summer cold. But he did have experience as a gofer for his town's doctor, as well as doing errands and chores for the people who fell ill. So, this job was right up his alley.]

[One thing he knew for sure, when you're under the weather, nothing beats a good laugh.]

[With the trusty use of the new EmphaSize spell he nabbed from the traders, you'll find him waddling around with huge, oversized feet as he goes from room to room delivering flowers, teddy bears, medicine, fruit baskets, you name it. If he happens to be entering a kid's room, he'll make a big show of his giant, floppy feet. If its an elderly person's room, he'll sit with them for awhile and ask them about their day or let them ramble on.]

[But it's likely leaving one of the rooms is when you'll bump into Darin. Or trip over his enormous, floppy feet.]


Oh, hey! Easy there! You okay? Sorry, I should get a signal or something for these things...

🗡️ LAVAFT BEHIND 🗡️ - OPEN

[This seemed like a pretty easy task, all things considered. Everyone knew slimes were low-level monsters, even if they had the same temperature as magma. And Darin worked professionally around molten metal all day. If there was anyone who could handle this task, it was him.]

[Though, having someone along in case things went awry was a good idea too. Especially since his blood magic wouldn't really do him much good here.]

[So back to the Diamond Falls Darin goes. He's got a pickax and some mining tools in a pack slung over his shoulder examining the hardened rock for any sign of the slime.]


So, since I know how my luck goes, what's the plan for when we free this thing and it immediately attacks us with the fury of a particularly cranky volcano?

AT THE FORGE - OPEN

[With the reconstruction from his rampage doing well, Darin's back at the forge doing what he loves. He might be down an apprentice, but that hasn't stopped him from taking orders and commissions from those who seek him out! Got something you want Darin to make? His consultations are always free so come on in! Got some gear that needs mending or ideas you want to pitch? Maybe you just need some work? Darin's door is always open! When you step in, you'll likely see him working on something or tidying the place up. If there's one thing Darin can't stand, it's a messy forge! So come on in and let's get to work!]

BAR CRAWL - CLOSED TO KATE

[It's been about a month since he tore through Camelot as a terrifying, familiar-fused monster. Barring his (and everyone else's jaunt) to Celliwig, Darin had largely avoided going into town. And when he did, he wore a cloak with a hood that concealed his hair.]

[Now, a month later and the reconstruction mostly complete, Darin is feeling a little more hopeful that maybe he won't be kicked out of town if he decides to hit a bar for a drink or two. He's still wearing his cloak, but when he settles in at the 'In For a Pound' pub, he slowly pulls his hood back to reveal his very obvious blue mane of hair. He gets a few looks, some of which he's not too thrilled with, but orders a drink and sits at the bar.]

[Unfortunately, the patrons on either side of him scoot away. Fortunately, that leaves space should anyone decide they want to pull up a stool and join him.]


MY DINNER WITH DARIN - CLOSED TO ALLURA

[So, it really only dawned on Darin about a day or so before the date that he and Allura had chosen for dinner that this might actually be a...you know. A date. In a panic, he considered calling her to clarify that this wasn't a date...but what if she wanted it to be a date? What if he tried to clarify and they called the whole thing off? That would be awful! And he'd feel terrible too! She was really looking forward to it! But did that mean she was looking forward to a date with him?]

[No, that couldn't be it.]

[Could it?]

[So, after spending a day laying on the floor and staring at the ceiling weighing his options, he decided that, you know what? He could do this! Even if it was a date! Hell, it was only a date! He could handle that! Even though he'd never been on a date before, much less with someone who was so strikingly beautiful and had spent the last six months worming her way into his every though— NOT IMPORTANT!]

[And so, it was the evening of the big-but-maybe-not date. He'd agonized over whether or not he should dress up and finally he decided on an off-white polo shirt with pink piping around the collar and sleeves (hey, pink goes good with blue, alright?), and some tan slacks. With a menu all set (he did promise it would be an amazing meal) he sets out to begin cooking, listening intently for the door to the forge to open so he could go up and greet her.]

[Everything was set for the evening. Nothing could possibly go wrong, right?]

[...Right?]


WILDCARD

[Not seeing anything that catches your fancy or want to do something else? Go ahead and top-level! And if you're not sure and want to hash it out, hit me up on Discord @ Ant#0062 or on plurk @ [plurk.com profile] bitterbearface!]

... well, that, and you seemed to enjoy fighting with me, sometimes.

[She starts trying to pull his pants down again, this time working them down slowly instead of tugging down ineffectively.] In fact, I think there were a few times you found it fun...
patchricide: (149)

[personal profile] patchricide 2021-08-31 07:20 am (UTC)(link)
Then I suppose it's only fair that I get a rise out of you, as well.

[She pauses, waiting to see what reaction she gets for her awkward attempt at a joke. Anything? She tried very hard.]

[Regardless, she did bring the subject back to it, and so it's only fair... she has to reach under and get a hold of it by the shaft, and slips it out of the sweat pants.]

[By the way, Darin: Were you wearing underneath the sweat pants?]
patchricide: (160)

[personal profile] patchricide 2021-08-31 08:20 am (UTC)(link)
[Well, it seems to have worked, since she's once again pausing — this time to admire the quality of the garment. It's surprisingly silky, isn't it? As she does run her hands against the fabric, though, she inadvertently rubs it against his already sensitive skin...]

It almost seems like a shame to take those off...

[Okay. She's getting distracted. (And maybe considering if she should be investing in silkier undergarments.)]

[Before she pulls those down, she should probably finish taking off the sweat pants, rather than letting them rest awkwardly above the knee, right?]
patchricide: (184)

[personal profile] patchricide 2021-08-31 08:59 am (UTC)(link)
[She looks up at him, her eyes starting at around his knees and traveling up his exposed thighs, and the hips being hugged by the tight, luxurious fabric... and onward, up his abs and his chest. He's an impressive physical specimen, for certain...]

[But when her eyes meet his again, she smiles.]


I had meant more for your sake. After all, these must feel better than bare skin...

[But he'll be able to compare shortly, as she starts pulling them down his hips the same way she did the sweatpants. And as she does, he'll feel the kiss of the air on his shaft as the base is exposed, and the elastic waist slides slowly down the length of it.]

[personal profile] patchricide 2021-09-02 04:06 am (UTC)(link)
[She draws back as it slips out, as if she's worried it might smack her in the face. It's understandable, right? This is her first experience with this sort of anatomy — and not merely the human kind. There's such a difference between seeing diagrams in biology, and seeing one that she could grasp in her hand.]

[Speaking of, she does move to touch it... and then, looks up at him with wide eyes.]


Should I...?

[As if she really needs to ask for his permission at this point. They've made it this far, haven't they?]
patchricide: (16)

[personal profile] patchricide 2021-09-02 05:10 am (UTC)(link)
I did say we should be getting a feel for each other... so...

[She starts by touching it gingerly, just letting the tips of her fingers feel the warm skin. And while her understanding is limited, it's enough that she knows what to do next... and her fingers wrap around the shaft to hold it firmly in one hand.]

[Next, she slides her hand towards her, and then back down to the hilt, just to see how he reacts.]
patchricide: (148)

[personal profile] patchricide 2021-09-02 06:12 am (UTC)(link)
Does it...? I'm not... pulling too hard, am I...?

[Which should tell him a little about what's going on in her head, why she seems so tense and focused about this. It's her first time trying this. She doesn't want to make a mistake, and turn this into a disaster from her inexperience.]

[But she doesn't seem to have much trouble with it, due to her strong arms, and with his encouraging response she picks up the pace. Her other hand plants firmly on his thigh, to brace herself and make sure she keeps a steady tempo.]
patchricide: (238)

[personal profile] patchricide 2021-09-02 07:41 am (UTC)(link)
Quicker? [Briefly, she looks surprised, as she had thought she was already going fairly fast. But then, she smiles up at him.] ... as you wish.

[And she does start going fast. Intensely fast, enough that it's becoming a proper workout for her. She grips his thigh tighter, and leans in closer, as the pace gets harder and harder to keep steady.]

This still isn't too much, is it...?
patchricide: (I want a relationship where no one dies)

[personal profile] patchricide 2021-09-02 08:11 am (UTC)(link)
I know...! That's the idea, isn't it...?

[Though after she mentions it, her hand starts to slow its pace. It's true — it's not just her hand getting messy, as some of it's starting to run down her arm. And they haven't yet hit the climax. When they do...]

[... ... ...]


... would you rather we move this back inside... so we can clean up after?

[Is there even time for this? Her hand hasn't stopped, after all. It's merely slowed down.]
patchricide: (130)

[personal profile] patchricide 2021-09-05 10:37 am (UTC)(link)
[She jumps when he starts to climax, because even though she's aware it would be like this... it's still a wholly new experience, meaning her reflexes kick in far faster than her logical reasoning. But there's not much room to dodge it, not while her hand is still working him in such an incredibly intimate way — and when she's been so mindful not to hurt him.]

[So yes, it gets on her. Rather, it gets all over her. And based on the expression on her face, she already knows that it's going to be a challenge to clean this up, even if they were to face no trouble sneaking back into his problem.]

[Well... unless he has any ideas, that might have to be tomorrow Allura's problem. For now, she releases his thigh, and uses that freed hand to try wiping some of it off her chest. No, it's a futile endeavor with just one hand, isn't it?]

[She clears her throat and asks him, in a voice that sounds unsure but with a note of tempered hope:]
So... I would say I've gotten quite a good feel for you, haven't I...?
patchricide: (94)

[personal profile] patchricide 2021-09-07 09:20 am (UTC)(link)
R... right, yes, I suppose I can... [But then he makes that offer.] ... well, then, would you want to help?

[But she's actually fairly impressed that he's still ready to go. After all, she might not be the most experienced in this department, but she's at least read about these things.] Erm... aren't you supposed to need some recovery time...? You're still... I-I mean, you still have...

[She presses down on the head a bit, just to test how hard he still is. Even if he's not as rigid as moments ago, this is a lot more than she's expecting.]

... Darin, I don't want to accuse you of anything but... this isn't your blood magic, is it?
patchricide: (48)

[personal profile] patchricide 2021-09-07 10:01 am (UTC)(link)
[She looks stunned by that. Normally she's not taken by gratuitous flattery, but...]

Even despite how you've spoken about me before, I... I don't think I ever would have expected that I could have such an effect on you... are you sure this is my doing?

[It is, in several senses of the term, hard evidence. And while blood magic still seems like a plausible explanation, she didn't see him cast any sort of spell. If this is trickery, it's very skilled trickery.]

[Still stunned, she gives a small, numb nod.]
A... anyway. As I said, did you want to help clean me up, or would that be... erm, a little much as you are?
