Astraea Academy / Re: School Festival Preparations (Open)

« Last post by Shouta Akimoto on November 04, 2025, 03:12:27 pm »

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
STRONG INSIDE, BUT YOU DON'T KNOW IT
GOOD LITTLE GIRLS, THEY NEVER SHOW IT
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Rika and her brother had been dropped off at school early, like always, by their Alpha father. Rika remained quiet as she watched her brother Riko excitedly wave to greet his friends in the class they shared together. It'd always been easy for her brother to make friends with others, while it was a little difficult for her to make them. Rika wanted to make friends but struggled a lot with doing that. The reason being is because of her ability to see spirits. She wasn't afraid of all spirits, as some can be good, but there was the off chance she could encounter a dangerous one. Sometimes it was hard to tell whether or not a spirit meant well or not when she approached it.

She'd already been warned by her Omega father not to go wandering off on her own and not to approach spirits she sees so casually. Of course, her brother assured their Omega father he'd watch out for her like he promised. Rika appreciated it, but still couldn't help but feel bad that her brother was more or less her babysitter. However, it was the agreed-upon decision that allowed them both to return to attending school again. So, she had to deal with it and hoped that school could be a safe place for her where dangerous spirits wouldn't try to attack her or anyone she cared about. The bell rang, and Rika and her brother quickly hurried to class. Their homeroom teacher, Mr. Tachibana, was a stickler for students being late without good cause. Though Rika knew her brother wanted to goof off, she immediately grabbed him and pulled him along to class before the late bell rang.

They'd made it just in time and took their seats. The rest of their peers were already present in the room, so Rika began to take her things out of her bag to use for today's assignments. Mr. Tachibana hadn't shown up yet, which was unusual to her, but assumed that maybe he was talking with another teacher about something important. It wasn't uncommon for teachers to speak with one another. That said, everyone in class was conversing amongst themselves. After about five minutes, Mr. Tachibana had entered, and the class immediately went silent. The start of class began. Like always, Rika was prepared to take notes and work on her assignments, but it would seem that the first order of business was their school's festival.

Rika had completely forgotten about that. Every class not only had to participate, but also come up with an event. That was when her classmate Kendric Rachel spoke up, which came as no surprise to Rika. She'd found her to be a strange girl, but it was pretty clear that she really liked their teacher. A little too much to a point it was shameful and reminded the young girl of her own parents. It was a little embarrassing for her. Rika watched and listened as Rachel began to rapid-fire off suggestions, one of them being a maid and butler cafe, and the other a kissing booth. The suggestion of a kissing booth made Rika raise a brow. Thankfully, no one seemed interested in that, but they did seem interested in Rachel's other idea. Rika was indifferent towards it, but it was better than the idea of a kissing booth.

While Mr. Tachibana was against it, one of her male peers spoke up in assurance that there was nothing inappropriate about it. Rika wasn't sure since this would mark her and her brother's first year at this school, and she was completely unaware of how they handled specific events at the school festival. Instead of saying anything, she sat there continuing to listen to others chime in on their suggestions for ideas, as well as suggestions for the committee chairman that would assist in getting everything prepared. Rika heard Rachel speak up again, suggesting her friend Asakura Mana. While having not spoken to Mana directly, she was familiar with what she looked like, and whenever she spoke up, which wasn't much unless called on directly. Similar to herself.

'Well, things started off a tad awkward in class today, but it seems to be getting better and everyone is trying to get involved.' Rika's gaze shifted towards her brother, who sat next to her, and he was goofily holding up a paper that had "Eating Contest" written on it in broken kanji, making her sweat drop. 'Eh, his heart's in the right place, but his head isn't,' she thought. At least what he wrote wasn't weird like Rachel's earlier suggestion for a kissing booth. She couldn't imagine her brother getting remotely involved in that. Neither would she personally. Though she did know that their teacher would get on his case for his broken and sloppy kanji.

Tokyo Dome City / Re: a day at the festival (open)

« Last post by Sousuke Leiko on October 20, 2025, 11:16:22 am »

"Unsure what you mean by code I was helping move about supplies to just about every stall, so I'm not entirely sure who would be the staff over me I was just volunteering, the only boss I've spoken to is my nightshift part-time job boss of Club Skye who was sponsoring in part my concert performance that was later in the evening," Tsubasa says not entirely sure about the normal event workers and the code system having just volunteered to help out for a free pass essentially. Looking at Kaoru when asked why he doesn't just call "I left my phone at home...uhh Kasane-san does the nurse station have a phone, I'm not sure if wasting time to call now is advisable but if so may I use it?" he asks as the thought dawns on him though of sound mind still his body was still getting more and more run down as his voice was a bit raspy and clearly exhausted.

Granted right now the exhaustion and tiredness where godsends to Tsubasa though still somewhat wary of the Rut returning once the medication wore off as much as face planting the ground or falling asleep standing up.Taking in a deep breath to try and put a bit more pep in himself.((sorry its short posted shortly after getting home from work brain is still half asleep))

Western District / Re: It's Valentine's Day? (Dusan/M)

« Last post by Dusan Libre on October 20, 2025, 01:52:34 am »

Dusan was a creature born of fire and muscle. Heat that licked at her flesh and encouraged it to release sweat and scent that he could caress across her smooth skin or lick and savor. He was adorned in battle scars and each one a testament, a victory he had over something -less- than he had been. Supernatural, human, alien, it didn't matter. And here a creature of indomitable power was treasuring her like the most precious thing in all the cosmos. A choice of partners and she above the others was his choice. He stood before her and let her hands explore to her contentment. Under the layer of skin he was compact, firm, and constrained power. For being as secretive and reclusive as he could be, in this moment his body was inviting her to know him in a silence that spoke louder that words.

His gaze drifted from her face, appreciating how her blush seemed to spread from her neck, collarbone, and down along the teardrop contour to her breast. As his hand gently cupped her, his thumb grazing along the delicate curve, he marveled at the texture of her skin. How stark a contrast it was to him. She was softness and sweet. His own, battle ravaged, scarred, callous. But the warmth that radiated from her body was fuel to him. He loved to see and feel her heart pounding in her chest. The knowledge he affected her like this when no other being ever had was thrilling.

He could feel her breath catch, the way her chest rose and fell with each heartbeat, and it stirred something deep within him. He leaned closer, his lips brushing her own in a kiss that was as much about comfort as it was about desire. Her rosemary scent hovered around her like the same way it had the first time he had been close to her.

Deciding that her upper half had been attended to it was time to work lower. His fingers eased down from her chest, out to her sides, and down her waist until his thumbs came into contact with the waistband of her exposed panties. A slight press inwards had his thumbs hooked inside her jeans and her underwear as he pushed them downwards only he decided to guide the garments down to the floor. Kneeling at her feet he helped her to step out of them and looked up at her fully exposed form.

Amestia Inn / Re: From Crisis to Connection [Nikolas]

« Last post by Haley Russell on October 19, 2025, 07:03:05 pm »

The person on the other side, Nikolas Johnson, was not who she was expecting to run into today. The last time she'd seen him was at the Melody Cafe a few weeks ago. Since then, she'd gotten busy with work and hadn't had much free time because of the holidays rolling around, and there were a lot of things she needed to prepare for around the inn. Instead of doing that now, she was having to deal with trying to reach out to get their kitchen's oven fixed, and having a bunch of residents angry about that didn't help. Them being upset was understandable, didn't mean it wasn't stressful to Feodora. Still, she was glad that Nikolas wasn't upset with what was going on.

It's not as if the rooms that everyone stayed in don't have kitchens in them that allowed everyone to be able to cook, but today seemed like one of those days where nobody wanted to cook their own food. Well, except for Nikolas. Instead of yelling at her, he was here checking on her and bringing her coffee. With a weary and tired smile, Feodora accepted the coffee from him, wrapping her hands around the cup as she set it down on her desk, waiting for it to cool down some before drinking it. "Arigatou, Johnson-san," she thanked him as she gave the man her full attention. "I wish I could enjoy the company, but we have an issue in the kitchen with the oven having stopped working suddenly and the kitchen staff is unable to prepare the meals requested by the residents. That's why everyone is at the front desk upset," she explained.

"I appreciate you worrying about me, but it's fine," Feodora assured him, but continued, "I was about to call back up repair services to get the oven fixed. No telling how long it'll take for them to get here and fix it." She sighed, raising the cup to her lips and taking a sip of the coffee before speaking again. "I'm dreading it because I know the secondary services will cost a lot since our usual guy who handles our repairs is busy." She knew this issue was sudden, so it was to be expected that her usual repair guy was busy, but it couldn't be helped. She just had to deal with it as she always did when this happened.

Astraea Academy / Re: School Festival Preparations (Open)

<------------------------------------------->
Little princess in a terrible mess
A kingdom alone, but no love to confess
Dreams of a prince on a tall white horse
Runs like a spirit by the castle walls
<------------------------------------------->

Rachel got what she wanted. She wanted Tachibana Sensei to doubt himself as a teacher, but mainly for her own amusement since he was purposely ignoring her. With that in mind, she shifted her gaze back to her teacher, her lips forming into a wide smirk as she playfully stuck her tongue out at him. It was fun for her to tease her teacher. The idea of a child having already decided at an early age who their mate will be, isn't entirely unbelievable. However, it bummed her out that because of her age, it was deemed inappropriate in the eyes of others for adults to engage in a relationship with their students. Though, as far as Rachel was aware, it is a thing in Japan, but not open. Thus, she desired straight away to learn everything she could, so by the time she was old enough, she would be ready for Tachibana Sensei.

However, he was still going to treat her like a kid, which was the annoying part. He wanted her to look at her like he would the other female adult teachers who had the boobs she wanted. It's also why she was a little jealous of Mana, who developed early for her age, but she won't hesitate to smack her male peers if they do anything to her. Sighing, she placed her hands on her desk while everyone else was raising their hands and giving out the names of those who could take on the leadership role of their class. Rachel wanted that role, but she couldn't nominate herself. Someone would have to suggest her for the position. Of course, she knew if someone did, Tachibana Sensei would be against it anyway. 'What a drag. Well, at least during the school festival, I can tease Sensei all I want,' she thought.

So far, there were three names of students given to Tachibana Sensei to write down on the board. Two were boys and one was a girl. Rachel saw this and noticed that the number was uneven. She decided to fix that by raising her hand with a grin on her face. "Sensei, can I recommend my friend Mana?" she asked politely. Mana was a timid and quiet girl, but Rachel knew that when given a chance, she liked to help anyone, especially the teacher, because that's just who she was. Their class from third grade liked poking fun at her and calling her a teacher's pet, but since her fourth year class had different students in it and a few familiar faces, Rachel didn't think anyone would complain about this suggestion. It was just to have a fair number of people recommended. She would've suggested Sana, but she knew that she'd only argue with the teacher the entire time, all because he's an Alpha. No work would get done if that happened.

Tokyo Dome City / Re: a day at the festival (open)

« Last post by Haley Russell on October 19, 2025, 05:44:02 pm »

Kasane was glad that she was able to help. It was summer, and it made sense that the weather could trigger Ruts and Heats unexpectedly. She understood the struggle that everyone had to go through dealing with them. Every day, someone was having trouble dealing with either their first experience going through a Rut or Heat or has already experienced them, but they're difficult to handle when they occur. The medications for them were getting better day by day. She hoped that soon there would be a suppressant that worked when Ruts and Heats were triggered and calmed them down instantly. It sounds like a pipe dream, but given the world they live in, medications were being made for those that weren't human, and they were much stronger for that reason. Many of those medications can work for humans, but at lower dosages.

She prayed that Tsubasa would get better. It seemed unfortunate that the friend he knew didn't seem to feel the same or feel anything. It normally wasn't hard to tell when people released their scents around one another, but there was just a refusal to release his own. Maybe she was overthinking it. Regardless, Kasane knew that Tsubasa wouldn't be the last person she helped today. Plus, her shift didn't end until the afternoon, so she was in it for the long haul. She was then snapped out of her thoughts by the young man's request to inform the staff that he was working with about what was going on. That would be easy, but she'd have to know which group he was working with here at the festival. "Ah, you'd have to tell me the event crew you were working with for me to do that. Each event stall has a code they can be reached by and as long as I knew which stall you were working with, I can reach out to them and let them know about your situation," she told him with a smile.

Kaoru merely raised his brow at that request. Thinking that Tsubasa could do that right now while he was there. Only an idiot boss would make someone work during their Heat or Rut. That was legally a required time off given to everyone who goes through that period, either themselves or with someone. Besides, the people who owned the Tokyo Dome would be fine without one worker. It wouldn't ruin the whole festival if Tsubasa weren't there. He looked over at the sandy-haired blonde and asked, "Can't you call your boss while you're here and tell them what's going on? You're still lucid enough to do that aren't you?" For the most part, Tsubasa hadn't completely lost himself to his desires. He should be able to do that right quick.
