OMG VD!

[cavedwellers]

[Gosh you guys, there must be a holiday on! One of the bigger, more well-lit caves has been decked out for a PARTY, with heart-shaped BALLOONS and also red and white STREAMERS decking the stalactites and shit. There are BUCKETS filled with LITTLE CANDY HEARTS, and there is a FOUNTAIN featuring a rosy-cheeked CUPID who is PEEING PINK LEMONADE into a basin. Also ther are CUPS in case you couldn't tell the LEMONADE was for DRINKING.

Also, everything is HEAVILY SPIKED WITH APHRODISIACS. Eating or drinking the party favors will make you want to MAKE OUT with anyone who gets IN STRIKING DISTANCE. Have fun with that!]

[she is a soldier and she will not show disappointment at this. but she's not as good at it as she thinks she is.]

I...see. The illusion looks so real, though.

[her hand stays where it is, even though she can't touch him really]

[onlyhonournow]

[well, he's sharper than that, at least]

Forgive me, I did not consider... the situation.

If it makes you uncomfortable...

[HOLOGRAM FLICKERS?]

[ice_and_steel]

[oh fuck this is what happens when you leave the army and drink drugged punch.]

it...doesn't bother me. [she tilts her head and is silent for a moment, then almost smiles] It's sort of strange to have two faces for you.

[onlyhonournow]

[well, the projection of the human face looks concerned, still, which is probably a remarkable throw-back to his usual metallic one.]

... Strange is something I'm good at, I've been told.

[turning and smiling again, nodding at the seatbelt above her] Shall we get going?

[ice_and_steel]

[she looks up, confused as to what he's looking for] I...that seems up to you?

[prankster_gambit]

[You pull your mouth off of him, cheeks hollowing, before grinning.]

Okay! Come down here.

[bythehorns]

Okay, um, here I go...

[and you do, squirming down, reaching to pull his pants down enough that you can see, and...]

Oh, um, that is...

Is that, um, normal, for, a human bulge?

[prankster_gambit]

Yes! It is pretty awesome for a human bulge! I mean, penis. Especially for my age!

[you have no idea if this is true or not - it's not like you've seen a lot of dicks or anything - but you want to impress him! But well, compared to his, you guess it's pretty boring. It can't even give mini-hugs or anything!]

[onlyhonournow]

[the hologram reaches over after a moment of recognition, brushing slightly through her and grabs a hold of the seatbelt, pulling it snugly over here]

It's a safety precaution.

[ice_and_steel]

[oh gosh that is weird watching his hand go through her.]

A safety precaution? What does it accomplish?

[bythehorns]

Well, uh, I will, do my best, to treat it, that way.

[you reach out to touch it, because he was sure enthusiastic about yours and you would hate to disappoint him when he's so nice. the skin feels so soft under your fingertips, and you trace a slow line from root to tip.]

[onlyhonournow]

I don't intend to endanger you, but motion tends to displace objects moving at a high speed unless countered by some sort of force.

[ice_and_steel]

[very wide eyes]

H-how fast can you go? I mean with MagiTek armour the most you risk is getting crushed if you fall out and leave the levers stuck...

[prankster_gambit]

[You bite your lip as you watch his fingers move over you. You're pretty sure you should feel a little afraid, because his claws are sharp and they're on some very sensitive skin, but instead you kind of find that exciting!

....oh right, he still has a bulge to tend to! You reach back for it,though you keep your eyes on where he is touching you.]

[onlyhonournow]

[oh wait I was trying to be reassuring oops, time to furrow that convenient forehead I have right now]

... Only as fast as you'd like me to.

[ice_and_steel]

[there is a very irresponsible part of her, that the army tried very hard to quash, that wants to say "as fast as possible." she remembers just in time that that would be a very bad idea without knowledge of the potential parameters.]

I don't know. This is new territory. [the corners of her lips curl up just a little, impishly] Perhaps reconnaissance is in order.

[bythehorns]

mmmn!

[for a second there you falter when he takes hold of your bulge again, because wow, distracting, but you don't want to let him down! you are making a lot of progress on troll-human understanding right now you're pretty sure. so you try wrapping your hand around his bulge, er, penis, and you stroke it a little bit to see how that goes.]

[onlyhonournow]

[grinning back and starting his engine then, and eases off slowly, rolling out of the cave into open space]

That sounds like a plan.

[ice_and_steel]

[this is so much better than riding in MagiTek armour. it doesn't lurch!]

[she would deny, completely, that she has a delighted grin on her face. but she does.]

This--this is amazing.

[onlyhonournow]

[he doesn't even have to look over to notice that, you know. Actually being the car himself, and all that.]

So. Faster?

[ice_and_steel]

oh, yes. Please.

[she is still totally not grinning.]

[onlyhonournow]

[slowly works up to full speed, rushing straight into the Plains of Spite™ ]

What exactly did you have in mind, when I asked you to ride with me?

[ice_and_steel]

[oh gosh this is so fast! Faster than the airship! And Drift is a better driver than Setzer.]

well, I wasn't sure what you meant. [very quietly, almost mumbling] but I like spending time with you.

[onlyhonournow]

[one last rush before he drifts into a stop at an angle--his hologram looks over at her, beaming]

I'm glad. I would feel like I was imposing otherwise.

[ice_and_steel]

You're not imposing. Thank you. That was....fun.

[such a strange word. such a strange concept.]
