Turning 21 has been a completely underrated experience. I was expecting the blackout and loss of time. Even the warping to a new place isn't out of the realm of estimated probability.

But being genetically altered is a plot twist. I assume it is so we can fuck the monsters.

I call dibs on the raven dude.

cw: looots of kink/fetish/nsfw jokes/conversation going on in this here post.

I am both sorry and not to say this isn't only a human problem.

[givehead]

No, you're right. I've met some weird fucking aliens too with some seriously depraved kinks.

[unsheathedfromreality]

Like human-fucking?

[givehead]

Exactly like human fucking.

[unsheathedfromreality]

The depth and height of depravity the worlds over. But so often irresistible. So energetic and naive and too quickly gone.

Happy birthday!

[givehead]

That basically summarizes the power of boners perfectly, yeah.

Thank you <3

[unsheathedfromreality]

[He laughs as the Omni reads that off to him.]

Well-played.

Though most prefer their humans less stiff than their erections.

[Then,]

Less than three what?

[givehead]

(He actually laughs out loud. It's more of a huff of air, but still impressive considering.)

Thank God I'm not most humans.

Oh my God.

(Nooo way. No way. That's so endearing.)

It is a heart. ❤️ But on its side <3.

[unsheathedfromreality]

A real upstanding individual then.

[...He manifests his Omen and has her look at the Omni for him.

Oh. Oh!]

So it is. That's clever.

How did you get the other little heart in there?

[givehead]

You have no idea. I'm the most upstanding gent in the galaxy.

(Oh maaaaan he's feeling a certain kind of way right about now.)

It is called an emoji. Most of these devices have a wide variety of emojis to quickly and effectively express emotions. It can help people who may have difficulty processing tone through text.

The option for emojis should be beneath your alphabet for texting.

1/2

[unsheathedfromreality]

[Beneath his alphabet for texting.

"Iska, help me here," he mutters to his Omen.

She climbs up onto his wrist beside the Omni and pokes at the symbol keyboard determinedly with one little claw.]

2/2

[unsheathedfromreality]

Thank y̻̫o͑u̾ͭ. This is very useful to know.

Can they be dictated?

Re: 2/2

[givehead]

Well, I'll be. Ain't never seen the first time someone's discovered emojis before. I feel like a proud father.

No problem, dude.

Unfortunately, they usually can't be, but I know some people have their shit set up to automatically provide emoji alternatives when providing spelling corrections or auto-complete functions.

Do you have vision issues?

[unsheathedfromreality]

[There's a a few-minute delay in the reply because someone (or someone's Omen) noticed his text was corrupting and set the Omni down to let that stop.]

Completely blind. My Omen can act as my eyes and the Omni takes dictation adequately enough I can keep up with "texting".

Though I was unaware of this additional dimension of it. [Illuminations, as miniature sketches of themselves. Or given their function for tone and identifiability, something like shrike meta-text.

If he really grasps for a piece of home, and he's grasping.] Thank you for the explanation. You do it well.

[peripheries]

You are not sorry.

Tell me more then.

[unsheathedfromreality]

[He's incredibly not sorry.]

Dwarves, elves, and orcs are just as bad. Probably the Sea People too, if they'd had anyone else around to lust after.

[RIP ancient progenitors, denied the chance at cross-species tomfoolery.]

[peripheries]

What's so great about procreation that it occupies so much of your mind?

[unsheathedfromreality]

[...Right. That shouldn't be surprising, given how Tabris was made and raised. No opportunity to learn about the natural needs and practices of the species his body resembled.

Illarion finds he has a smoldering ember of actual anger over this.]

The act itself can be very enjoyable, for one. That's enough for many people.

For another, depending on how it's done and with whom, it is the only way to carry on your line. Every creature, thinking or not, wants to continue itself; for the mortal ones, this means having children to remember them after they die. This was, [was,] as attractive to me as sex itself.

It can also wake strong emotions that bond us to each other.

It is one way to overcome the barriers between us. You become wholly vulnerable to someone else, and she--or he, or they--to you.

[peripheries]

So it's because you're lonely? It makes you feel wanted? An easy way to breakdown the invisible walls that people put between each other and entering their sacred space.

[unsheathedfromreality]

Yes. With the right person it is sacred and uniting.

[He can tell exactly how corrupted he is because saying that makes him miss Esfir like a physical craving.

Maybe it's better to be more scrupulous about his precautions if that can happen. He makes a note to burn more incense.]

With anyone else willing it is often merely fun, sometimes useful. Also helps with loneliness if they're friends and not strangers.

Though I would not say it's all about being wanted. If you aren't wholly secure in yourself and your value outside what others give you it can be a miserable experience if it doesn't match your expectations. Bad sex happens too often to put your self-worth in it.

[peripheries]

And yet people are willing to risk the bad in hopes of pleasure. Just like with love.

And that doesn't explain the weird sexual attraction to the deities of this place.

[unsheathedfromreality]

You can't have anything worthwhile if you won't take risks for it. Anyone who tells you otherwise doesn't know the value of what she has.

That's easier. Ever eaten one food for so long you get bored of it?

[peripheries]

Eating is disgusting. I hate that my body requires it.

[unsheathedfromreality]

[...All right, maybe he should've expected that.]

What do you enjoy doing most in the world?

[peripheries]

[It takes a longer time than it should to respond.]

Playing the piano.
