A Star-Called Match

"Oh, no, no, of course you and your wife are welcome in our Kingdom at any time," Richard replied, trying to sound at least somewhat welcoming. "Come along to the castle whenever, I'm sure we have plenty of room for you as well, if you wish to stay at all." Of course, if Argrean was to come to the castle, Richard would have to keep... close eyes on him, just in case he ended up wandering off somewhere he shouldn't be, but he couldn't see any harm in allowing the Fae into his Kingdom. That was the whole point of this, afterall - peace between the two Kingdoms, as much as Richard was... rather hesitant to fully believe in that. Or even particularly want it.

Anthony glanced at his father, frowning slightly as that... didn't really seem like him at all, Anthony knew that Richard wasn't one for letting just anyone in the castle, and, in all honesty, Anthony wasn't sure if he wanted the Fae King to be wandering around his home. But it wasn't really his place to argue, was it?

ohhhh for sure, i am super hyped to meet emmerdale asdffks

Pokémon: The Next Hunt

Alyssa briefly glanced up as she heard slight commotion going on elsewhere in the cafeteria, though didn't take too much notice, figuring it really wasn't any of her business what others did with their pokemon in here. Although, seeing someone else with their pokemon out, as well as another boy who got his own out afterwards, she... almost wanted to get out her own, as she knew they likely weren't too happy in their pokeballs. At the same time, though, she didn't want to cause any commotion herself, and she knew that Danny would likely cause a commotion. She supposed Rosie would've been fine, but if she got Rosie out, then Danny would want to come out as well, so best to just not, she thought.

Instead, she turned back to her notebook, though once again was distracted as she heard a quiet whine besides her. Ah. One of the pokemon - a Rockruff - had approached her table, and seemed very interested in her croissant. The problem with this was that said Rockruff was extremely adorable, and Alyssa really wasn't sure if she could say no to her. That was a problem, of course, because she really did want that croissant.

She glanced up at Rockruff's owner, a taller but friendly-enough looking boy, who seemed to be apologising for his pokemon's behaviour, at least. "Don't worry, uh- it's fine," she said, returning the boy's smile, before breaking off a piece of her croissant and offering it out to the Rockruff. And then, because she now felt bad for feeding someone else's pokemon but not her own, she let Rosie and Danny out of their balls, Rosie curling up on the seat besides her and Danny sitting on the table. Likewise, she offered a little of her breakfast to each of them, and thankfully with the distraction of eating they both behaved well enough.

A Star-Called Match

Richard turned back to Argrean, nodding as well and about to reply, though he paused as Fenn spoke again, and didn't do too well to hide his annoyance. Yeah, definitely would have to teach him some manners, and also at some point he'd have to make it clear that he cared little for those sorts of affairs, especially as a deal had already been struck. But right now, he just wanted to get negotiations over with, and if that meant humouring the Fae Prince for now, as to avoid yet another outburst, then so be it.

"Of course, I'll- keep that in mind," he said. "Perhaps we can discuss that further at a later date, although I do believe right now there are more important things to be focusing on. Just... remind me of that later." He sighed, turning back to the Fae King again. "I believe we're done with everything here, then?"

Anthony was finding it increasingly harder not to butt into the conversation, sensing that his father really wasn't listening to what the Prince had to say, and understanding himself that it was actually rather important, but again, he wasn't really one for these sorts of things. He made a mental note to talk to the Prince himself about it later, and maybe he could try to mention something to his mother, who was more likely to actually try to do something. At the very least, he wanted the Prince to know that he at least cared for what he had to say, and he tried to show that by sending him a sympathetic look, as though to apologise on behalf of his father.

A Star-Called Match

lmaooo fr. personally getting ready to Fight argrean.

(also apologies for taking a while to respond here, had exams over the past week so i've been super busy, but should be able to write more often now asdfgdjdg)

A Star-Called Match

Richard looked over at the Fae Prince for the first time due to his little... outburst, dropping his neutral expression for a split second as a frown formed on his face. He certainly wouldn't let his own son speak to him like that, though it did seem like the Fae King had it mostly under control, as after a brief word the Fae Prince did settle down. He turned back to Argrean, holding back a sigh.

"Of course," he replied. "Likewise, I agree to everything. Arrangements have already been made to allow for the Fae Prince's stay in my kingdom." He looked back at the Prince again, for just a moment. "May have to teach him some proper manners, but no worries, we'll get him in shape in no time."

Anthony, on the other hand, seemed... a little more concerned, regarding the Fae Prince's outburst, compared to his father's clear annoyance at least. Of course, Anthony had known that the plan was for the Fae Prince to join them, staying in their kingdom, and he assumed that the Fae Prince knew as well - how curious, that he seemingly didn't. Still, when the Prince gave him a small smile, Anthony found himself returning it, almost trying to silently communicate that he was sorry about this whole situation, as it was becoming clearer and clearer that he was not happy with this arrangement, much like Anthony himself.

Dreaming Together With You - A Fading Memory Experiment

oooo this sounds super cool, loving this idea! i'd definitely be interested :)

Lotus' General 1x1 Thread

Hello there! With the new year and holiday season finally being over, and a bunch of ideas circling around my mind throughout said season, I figured I may as well make a more general interest thread, which of course I may add to and tweak over time depending on what I'm looking for. I'm always open to new RPs, just PM me here if anything catches your interest and I'm sure we can figure something out!

A little about me: my name is Lotus, I use they/them pronouns, I'm 20 years old, and in GMT timezone (though in all honesty, with my fucked up sleep schedule that hardly matters lmao). I've been RPing on and off since I was around thirteen, and been writing since before then. I'm not sure where exactly I'd place myself on the casual-advanced scale, since as a general rule I'll just do my best to at least match the length of my partner, though I'm fully capable of churning out multiple paragraphs. All I ask is that my partner doesn't just give me one-liners - would prefer at least a paragraph.

I am willing to play any gender character, and happy for you to play any gender either! Whilst I have a slight preference for MxM or FxF, I'm down for MxF as well (and in fact, I feel that some of the plots listed may work better as MxF), just let me know what you'd prefer. Romance isn't a necessity but I absolutely do enjoy it. When it comes to explicit content, I'll say that if we did go down that route I'd prefer to fade-to-black, although depending on the RP I may be willing to try something out, best thing to do it check in with me at the time to see how I'm feeling with it. (Though if you are a minor, whilst I won't say no to an RP, I would not want any sort of smut involved, even a fade-to-black.)

In particular, I've really been craving something a little darker recently, focusing on an unhealthy relationship of sorts, and am specifically looking for someone to play a bit of a villain (the plots below may give more context to this request). I don't have any limits when it comes to angst and darker content, so fr go crazy, but of course if you have any boundaries do let me know! I'm also up for something more lighthearted if that's what you'd prefer, or a plot that focuses more on hurt/comfort, but again, really craving some good angst right now.

But yeah, have a look over the plots below, or at the general pairings, and shoot me a PM if your interested! Happy to RP through PMs, thread, or discord, whichever you'd prefer (my discord is lotusthatexists#1512 if you'd prefer to message me there), again just let me know. So yeah, onto the fun stuff!

Mermaid x Human

This could go a few different ways:

• A mermaid washes up on the shore of a beach, injured in some way (thinking they could be tangled up in something, ie a fishing net or human junk etc), and a human (possibly some sort of scientist) finds them and takes them in, helping them heal.
• Similar to above, a mermaid washes ashore and a human finds them, though in this case the human is a scientist who takes them with the intention of running experiments on them. (This one in particular has the potential to get very dark.)
• A mermaid is being held in captivity (ie in a zoo or aquarium) and a human (could be a worker or just someone visiting) forms a bond with them, possibly helping them to escape.

In each case I have a preference of playing the mermaid, though I may be willing to play the human if you ask. Also happy to hear any other ideas you may have!

Winged Beings

This would take place in a world where humans with wings exist, though are rare and not super accepted by most of society, with most living in hiding or on the run from hunters. This could be in a fantasy setting or a modern setting, or even a sci-fi setting although I'm less experienced with that, all depends on what you'd prefer. As for how this rp would work, there's a few different options depending on what sort of character you would want to play:

• Two winged humans on the run from hunters (could already know each other or meet somewhere down the road)
• One character (winged or non-winged) finds an injured winged character and helps to heal them (thinking the injured character has recently escaped from some hunters)
• A winged character is kidnapped to be experimented on (this one has the capacity to get very dark)

In each case I do have a preference for playing a winged character, though again, may be willing to play a regular human as well depending on the plot, just ask! And again, happy to hear any of your own ideas.

Vampire x Human

A human tags along with their friend to a house party, though not long into arriving they lose their friend, and find themself alone in a room full of strangers. After searching for their friend for a short while with no luck, they think about leaving, though they don't seem to be able to, pushed back by the crowd and eventually finding themself surrounded by, oh god, vampires. From here, the plot could go one of two ways - either the human is kidnapped by those vampires and held hostage in that house, or another vampire at the party takes pity on them and 'rescues' them (although this will result in the vampire essentially kidnapping them anyway under the pretense of hiding them from the other vampires). Then from there, it would really depend on what kind of characters we want to play - the plot could focus on the human trying to escape (with or without the help of other vampires), or could grow complacent with their new life, perhaps a sort of stockholm syndrome situation.

I've done a plot similar to this in the past and that is actually one of my favourite rps that I've done, so would really love to try something like this out again! Last time, I did play the role of the vampire, though ever since I have really been wanting to try it out again but playing as the human, so ideally I'm looking for someone to play the vampire here. If you wanna tweak any of the ideas here, let me know, I'm totally willing to hear your ideas as well! But yeah, really craving this one in general rn.

Pirates

For this, I'm specifically looking for some to play a pirate captain, with myself playing either a stowaway or a prince(ss) who has been kidnapped to hold for ransom (or possibly a combination of the two). I don't have a super clear plot for this one, so that could be something we discuss, but this has the potential to be very dark or more lighthearted depending on how you wanna play it out. I could also be convinced to play the captain instead, although that would depend on how I'm feeling. Feel free to share any ideas!

Other Assorted Pairings/Dynamics

None of these have a specific plot, but if there's anything that catches your eye feel free to ask about it and I'm down to brainstorm, or if you have a specific idea then we can absolutely go with that! Honestly this also goes for anything listed above, if you have any ideas at all shoot them my way! For any pairings, my prefered role will be listed in bold, though for some I may be down to play the other role, again just ask! Some of these may also be combined/tweaked.

• Human x Fae
• Kidnapper x Kidnapped
• Scientist x ”Experiment”
• Mafia Boss x Civilian
• Hero x Reformed Villain
• Slave x Master
• Enemies to Lovers
• Roommates

Fandoms

These will probably mostly be canon x canon, although I'm open for oc x oc specifically in fandoms that have more of an established world (if you're unsure, just ask!). But in terms of characters, let me know what characters you'd want to play or want to play against and I'll see what I can do, or if you don't have any specific preferences, just ask and I can let you know what characters I'd be interested in playing! Super flexible with these. Also, if you want, any plots/pairings listed above can of course be applied to the fandoms, or we could come up with something else, or if you have any ideas I'm down to hear!

• PJO/Riordenverse
• MCYT (mostly hermit/empires/life series etc, tho also a few dsmp characters I'd play. obviously c!, not cc!)
• Undertale
• Night In The Woods (really feeling nitw rn. this could be super fun.)
• Pokemon (probably only oc x oc for this, only played a couple of the games and I'm more interested in the setting in general)
• Stardew Valley

Alright, I believe that's all for now! This will be updated as I come up with ideas, but thanks for reading!

A Star-Called Match

King Richard himself showed little fear as he approached the Fae King, though he still felt the power the he exerted, especially as Argrean spoke, and he got the idea that this was perhaps not the right person to make an enemy of. Which, in fairness, was the whole point of this meeting. He straightened out his back, standing as tall as he could - although in comparison to Argrean, that of course wasn't very tall at all.

"It's a pleasure to meet you as well," the Human King replied, bowing his head, although that was really all the pleasantries Richard was willing to give. Unlike the Fae King, he didn't change much of his demeanour, keeping a neutral expression. He was here strictly for business, not to make friends, and in Richard's mind, at least, showing such friendly emotions only showed weakness. "I presume you've read and understand the terms of our agreement?"

Off to the side, Anthony seemed quite a bit more fazed by Argrean, trying his best not to look at him. He didn't know a whole lot about the Fae king, though he also wasn't getting the best of feelings from his presence. He instead decided to continue focusing on the Fae Princem really not doing a brilliant job at not staring, especially as when they caught eyes and the prince looked away, Anthony didn't.
