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!]

Celes accepts the sweet and smiles awkwardly. "Thank you. I'm General--um, former General Celes Chere. May I ask your name?" She is fairly certain that is the correct mode of speech. Maybe.

[ice_and_steel]

That depends on what I was designing me for. If I wanted a loyal underling, I would not have given myself ambition; that leads to a desire to replace those above oneself, particularly if they're inferior in terms of capability.

...If I had been designing me for the purposes the Emperor did, I would also have neglected to instill a conscience, and would have kept me far away from anyone who might attempt to teach me one. Practically speaking, it only gets in the way when one wants an obedient soldier. Obedience above all. Assuming one is breeding a general to lead one's armies.

...Perhaps it's a good thing I didn't design me.

[she makes a sharp little noise and arches up into his hand, short nails biting into his shoulders when she flexes her hand, and wraps her other hand around his cock. She keeps being fascinated by its texture and trying to explore.]

[onlyhonournow]

[the hologram has a look on his face like it's trying to hold in laughter]

Well, what would you want to be designing yourself for?

[ice_and_steel]

I--I don't even know what I'd want to design myself for. Why would I even want to design another human being? It's messy and complicated.

....What's funny?

[onlyhonournow]

Sorry. [HE'S REALLY CUTE DON'T BE MAD]

I'm just asking, what do you want out of yourself? Because you can have it. That's all that I mean.

[ice_and_steel]

I don't know what I want out of myself. All I know how to do is be a soldier, I don't even know what else is out there.

[onlyhonournow]

But you want to find out, right?

[ice_and_steel]

....Yes.

[silent for a moment]

How did you figure this out? I mean...presumably you have free will...but...

[lifestudies]

Mmmnf, mmnn--

[pushing into her grip -- the sword calluses feel comfortably familiar, even if the angle is completely strange. biting at her lower lip and pressing his fingers in deeper]

[onlyhonournow]

[the hologram rubs the back of his head and flashes a half-grimace, half-smile]

... Someone beat it into me.

[ice_and_steel]

aaaaah-- [she shifts her hips a little and presses back against his hand, trying to get his fingers deeper, and bites back, sliding her hand slowly along the length of him]

[ice_and_steel]

[there is obviously a moment when she is wondering how that works from a physics standpoint, and then her eyes widen as she comes to the conclusion that there must be more like him out there, and then she shakes her head slightly]

I think that might go poorly if you tried it with me. I'm somewhat squishier than you are. But I'll try. To learn, I mean.

[lifestudies]

[have either of us ever learned fuckall about safe sex? PROBABLY NOT. shifting between her legs]

Nnnh -- let me fuck you.

[onlyhonournow]

[grinning]

I don't think that's necessary, as you're a lot less stubborn than I am, for one. For another, I think I'd sustain some pretty serious damage if I tried, and I would deserve it.

[ice_and_steel]

[nearly laughs out loud at the idea that she is less stubborn than anyone]

[a bit playfully] I think perhaps you underestimate the will of an Imperial General.

[ice_and_steel]

[she is pretty sure there was something that one of the many doctors who oversaw her childhood eventually told her something about why that would be a bad idea but those considerations seem much less important than this]

yes. [shifting her legs to make more room, biting the side of his neck because he makes pretty noises when she does that]

[lifestudies]

[moaning at the bites, yes -- the little twinges and pains make everything so much more interesting! and he has only the vaguest idea of how to do this, and on the first attempt he just slides against her, but the second time he's bracing his cock with his hand, guiding it, and oh, it feels good to sink into her.]

[onlyhonournow]

[hologram fakes a bow, still grinning]

My apologies.

[ice_and_steel]

[she hisses a little, because that's actually kind of uncomfortable, but it gets better after a little bit and she arches her hips up, making pleased little sounds, and since he seems to like biting, she does it a little harder.]

[lifestudies]

[getting into a rhythm now, and it is suddenly clear why people put effort into getting to this point -- this feels really good! he wouldn't want the roughness to be one-sided, though; snarling a hand in her hair and pulling.]

[ice_and_steel]

[the pulling on her hair makes her arch her spine and, oh, yeah, she can see why her soldiers talked about it so much if it feels anything like this for them. she wiggles a little and that makes the movement way better; she rakes her nails down his back and kisses him, hard]

[ice_and_steel]

oh, none necessary. [she salutes back, not as crisply as usual]

[still idly petting]

...so what is it that you want?

[pincerattack]

[and now those claws are raking down his back and you're pretty sure you just bit through your own lip instead of his-- all the not-actually-jokes about being your own kismesis and making out with yourself notwithstanding, it actually is an accident, and not one you're inclined to care about just now. you're still not entirely sure how humans work in this regard, but if he keeps going like this you're going to need--]

We need a bucket, you stupid fuck.

[onlyhonournow]

A world where no one has to be left behind. No suffering, no inequality. Peace. Harmony. A world where free will is celebrated, not censured.
