Ruining The Space

Well well well... look whose back where they started. ME! This is a kissing prompt from this List

This is Number 35. a kiss against a wall between one of my rooks Percy and @a-mumbling-nerd Eurydice.

I was very worried about writing Eurydice because I fear I can not write the queen that she is so I hope I did her enough justice. as always, I didn't know how to end it so... the ending is a little bit abrupt.

It was one of those days, wandering around the lighthouse, getting lost and then eventually finding themselves un-lost. This time though, Percy had found the music room that was hidden away. The sound of a beautiful melody taking in the air as Percy walked in to find a blond elf sitting at the piano, seeming to be lost in her own song.

Well for a moment because there was a sudden stop in the song. "I can hear your breath, it's distracting." Her tone held an annoyance accompanying with an unfamiliar accent. Either she really was annoyed by just their presence or something else annoyed her before them. Honestly either could be true. "Well, are you just going to stand there and stare?" She turned to look at them. They didn't know what to expect when she suddenly turned but an eye-patch covering one of her eyes with dark lines spread out across her strikingly beautiful features.

"Sorry didn't know anyone was in here."

"Obviously, now you can leave. You are ruining the space and my concentration." She turns back to her piano, her hands resting on the keys waiting for the sound of their departure but Percy stays. Not moving their spot near the entrance.

"I don't think a person can ruin a space just by being in it." Chuckling they walk further in which causes her to turn towards them once again. Annoyance so clear in her green eye that even though Percy has been known not to pick things up can notice. She doesn't seem to hide it at all. More wanting it to be seen and it taken as a sign to leave and to stop pressing further. Unlucky for her, Percy doesn't want to do that. "I'm Percy and new."

"I do not care. What I do care for is you leaving me be, but it seems you cannot understand that and now the space is ruined." standing up the bench makes a screeching sound against the floor. Moving methodically away and towards Percy her eye takes them in. "Why must you decide to ignore my wishes and stay? do you not understand that I wish to be alone and do not need company? or are you just as dull as you seem?"

"I have been called dull more than once in my life. You don't own the space. Even though you play beautifully from the bit I heard. I'm sure other people use it." They watched her as the annoyance never seemed to leave her expression. her lips quirking up before she looked away from them turning to begin gathering her sheet music. "Hey hey you don't need to leave. I can be quiet and listen."

"No." she spoke plainly as she finished gathering the sheet music, holding it in her hands. "You have-"

"Ruined the space? come on. Look I can sit here on the ground while you play! maybe you can even teach me some of your piano skills."

"I am not a teacher. Get someone who is in that standing. Nor do I entertain people such as you. Maker you are almost as annoying and dull as Isiah."

"Ok hey, I can handle being called dull once but twice is pushing it." crossing their arms as Percy stares down at the woman who scowled up at them in return. "what's your deal huh? I didn't mean to interrupt and so far, everyone has seemed nice. What did I do to you?"

The blonde lets out scoff in response gently setting the sheet music down on the bench before facing them again. "My deal does not concern you and If you haven't noticed I am not everyone. You have interrupted my time and invaded my space. Need I say more of what you have done?" Each word is met with a step from her, getting closer to Percy who instinctively steps back. "Perhaps I do, with your pestering and what seems to be a need to annoy me further than I already am. What is your deal? your goal? why did you walk into this room and why did you not leave when asked." her voice was pointed as Percy felt their back come into contact with the wall with the one-eyed girl standing in front of them. Her hand reaching out and curling against their shirt.

How in whatever raised above did Percy end up where they were. The wall felt rough and cold against their back as the short, blond, and fiery elvhen woman had them pinned against it. Anger in her features or was it annoyance? maybe a mix of both? This was all pointing towards an eventual punch; they had been here time and time before.

"You just going to stand there and stare?" Percy asked, mismatch eyes meeting her single green one. The smallest hint of mischief still remaining even with the air of a punch threatening them at any moment. They wondered what the story was. Right now, was probably not the time to ask. a moment of silence followed the question before against anything that Percy thought was going to happen, she pressed her lips to theirs.

The kiss matched her, passionate with anger welded in it and Percy fell right into it; meeting the kiss with the same strange passion. Their hands reached and cupped Eurydice's face bringing it closer and deepening the kiss. Keeping their touch gentle light as the fiery kiss seemed to melt and mold into something gentler and comforting.

When the kiss broke it was her pulling away, as her hand uncurled its hold on their shirt. "Okay, wasn't expecting that… You uh- never told me your name."

"Eurydice." the tone of her voice no longer holding the same annoyance as just moments prior. It sounded sweeter more rehearsed than her earlier words. Percy slowly removed their hands from her face, running them gently down her arms. "You are fine company when you have your mouth shut." Moving away Eurydice gathers her sheet music once again before Percy has time to process what is happening.

"Wha- Huh?" they watched Eurydice leaves the room still standing against the wall dumbfounded. Percy didn't know if they would have preferred a punch or not, but it seemed to late to really know.

Kirsi before the Venatori and after:

She’s uhhh….a little traumatized. It’s fineeeee.

Bare Bones answers:

Thank you to @kris-dragyn-the-mama-moose @booksncatsworld @apothe-cary @draconicdivinity @i-creatied-au @vishantikaffar and @teamtakagi for the questions!

tarsals. what past mistakes stick with them with every step they take ?

Mavis: (Rook) The mistake of going rogue when she stopped the darkspawn hoard. (RRAU) The mistake of rushing in to save her comrades during double dragons. She was impulsive and got hurt making her loved ones worry.

teeth. what lasting mark do they leave on others ?

Adalyn: Adalyn is a very competitive and ambitious person. She takes pride in her accomplishments. But the most pivotal thing no one forgets about her is her love of a challenge.

cheekbone. what makes them smile ?

Adalyn: People who match her wit or understand her. Compliments to her accomplishments (especially music) and playing music with her sisters

spine. when do they lose their backbone, what scares them ?

Kirsi: She’s scared of so much because she has so little. Scared of what the lady would do if she were to disobey or all out of line. She’s scared the voices she hears at night will never disappear. She’s scared of losing the memories she already has seeing how she lost so many already. She is ultimately ruled by fear.

patella / kneecap. how compliant/obedient are they, who will they kneel for ?

Kirsi: Those who promise protection and peace. She is incredibly compliant and naive. She obeys out of both fear and the hope to be rescued.

carpals. what small habits do they have ?

Elodie: Fidgets with hands when nervous, hums her sheet music when focused, and pouts like Florence Pugh when she's about to cry

Isiah: starts sentences with “uhh”, scratches the back of his head, and furrows his brow (aka the triangle.)

femur. what drives them forward ?

Eleanor: Her desire to help people. To help those hurting. To help her loved ones. Because when she was all alone Varric (and Jerran in RRAU) helped her…so how could she not want the same?

tibia. who/what keeps them moving forward ?

Meravas: Her brother Akaari and the hope they’ll find a way to get her voice back.

Casual Yet Intimate Prompt

Prompt post here

Malefic & Kirsi @a-mumbling-nerd

[ FIX ] sender cleans something off of receiver's face

I love Kirsi so much and Mal doesn’t have many people he’s close to. Truly he softens. Mal may be evil but he’s not a monster.

“Kirsi darling, pass me the salt.” Malefic held out his gloved hand as he stood over his stove fixing the new housemates of his, some food.

Kirsi nodded , assisting mal as he prepared the food, handing him the salt while watching him stirr the pot. “It smells good.”

“I’m glad you are voicing your opinions now. It’s so draft when you’re quiet.” Malefic sighed dramatically then sprinkled the salt into the pot.

“Did you always know how to cook?” Kirsi tilted her head, her gaze transfixed on the way mal had moved in the kitchen. She hadn’t expected it of him to be honest.

“When you lose everything, Kirsi, you learn to pick up the necessary skills to survive. And I’m just incredibly picky so I’d rather do it myself. I will not be eating junk in the streets.” His face scrunched, at the thought of getting anything from places that weren’t up to his standard

Kirsi supposed that was true, people did pick up what they needed to survive. She wondered if Malefic was being truthful or trying to change the subject about being picky. Though her thoughts were short lived as be held out the spoon for her to try the food. She went ahead and soon a sip of the food, the spoon much too big that some stuck to the sides of her lips. “It’s good.”

“Good I’m glad.” Mal set the spoon down then looked back at Kirsi noting the food on the side of her mouth. His brow furrowed, “Come closer darling.”

Kirsi like a robot had stepped forward the touch was shocking. Despite mals hands being gloved, he refrained from most touches. But this time, he had touching his face, swiping the sides of her lips with his thumb. “You messy girl. Now, you on. I’ve got the rest. You can set the table..”

Kirsi, eyes wide just nodded and didn’t ask why, or what his intentions were. She just went and set the table.

Malefic didn’t understand himself standing at the stove looking at his gloved hands. He shook his head, ignoring the growing softness he had for Kirsi. “You’ll only get in my way.” Mal spoke to himself and then went back to cooking.

Piping hot OC Answers:

Thank you to @apothe-cary @vishantikaffar @draconicdivinity @redaresss @stormemes11 @amoaliquis @sirenscallda @i-creatied-au for the questions! Let me know which rooks you would want for part 2!

Kirsi

What’s a surefire way to make your OC get flustered?

She is in truth flustered quite easily especially when someone compliments or praises her (her ears often twitch). Another is if someone touches her ears (they’re sensitive and she’s insecure) or her face. She is in truth very touch starved and craves physical affection.

What is your OC’s most physically attractive attribute?

Okay I’m very biased because I think she’s a cutie patootie but physically she has some of the most pouty kissable lips.

What is your OC’s most mentally attractive attribute?

She has a very empathetic nature even after being indoctrinated by the Venatori. She’s quick to forgive those who hurt her because of her empathetic nature.

What is their courting style? How would they woo someone?

Pre Venatori she frankly had never courted but she’d still have a better idea than post venatori. She is very much like a sad stray dog in regards to behavior in a relationship. Following them around. Trying to help them. Lots of longing stares. 

Do they treat sex casually or do they view it as something with a lot of emotional weight?

Sex is something that helps distract her from the blight’s whispers and it's seen as a service for those above her but when given her own choice she values sex very highly giving it a lot of emotional weight. As stated earlier, she craves physical affection.

Does your OC enjoy playing the field? Or are they more monogamy-minded?

So Kirsi is polyamorous and would generally be alright playing the field until she had an established relationship. However, due to her current occupation in the Venatori she isn't able to have any established relationships (In rrau she is in love with fellow venatori Aquilo @sirenscallda but due to their occupation its behind closed doors). In the venatori she doesn’t have the choice to be in an established relationship so she very much clings to whatever affection is given.

Is your OC a very good flirt? Are they charming?

She certainly was very sweet and endearing prior to her capture but there is something now more off putting but she still holds a shell of what she used to be. She's not necessarily a flirt but her big ol eyes and pouty lips do her a lot of favors.

Mavis

Do they treat sex casually or do they view it as something with a lot of emotional weight?

Mavis does give a lot of emotional value to sex which is why she can't bring herself to have it casually. She’d only prefer it with an established partner.

Is your OC’s attractiveness based on looks or a more intangible aura?

While Mavis is very much a cutie patootie in her own right. Her attractiveness definitely comes out in her attitude. She’s friendly but will say what she means and what she wants. But it doesn't hurt that she has some of the prettiest big brown eyes. 

Heloise

What kind of underwear do they use? Is it pretty or functional?

For the most part it’s just simple and functional. She’s a more all around practical person and a major penny pincher so she seldom purchases things that are not functional. However if a partner were to gift her something for her to wear she would indulge.

Eurydice 

Does your OC enjoy playing the field? Or are they more monogamy-minded?

She 100% will play the field until she has an established partner. Eurydice both in rrau and as a rook only has one partner (Davrin and @randomness-in-motion 's rook Tamrian). However, while it does depend on her partner she does have two hands and craves attention so therefore I could see her willing to indulge in more than one partner however only if it is properly communicated and consented to.

Does your OC believe they are attractive? Do they use that to their advantage?

Oh hahahaha. Definitely. Eurydice knows she is attractive even though she is honestly a little insecure about the fact she has one eye (In her rrau design she has an eyepatch. I haven't found a mod yet) and is blighted. Despite that she knows she’s still very attractive and is very quick to use that fact to get what she wants (usually attention).

Does your OC have much sexual experience? What are they like?

Homegirl’s had a hoe era for sure. She’s definitely sexually experienced due to flings and one night stands but she’s not super experienced in long term relationships. She is very much a switch and vocal in what she wants. She also has a rather high sex drive so good luck to anyone in a relationship with her because she is insatiable.

RRAU Character Masterpost: Kirsi

Name: Kirsi Sarel 

Nickname: Kiri

Age: 22

Gender: cis female 

Pronouns: she/they

Sexuality: pansexual 

Faction: Venatori (originally grey wardens)

Class: mage (shifter)

Preferred weapon: teeth , mage knife (uses mainly fire and ice magic)

Personality: Pre-Venatori: calm, caring, curious, and charming Post-Venatori: skittish, aloof, over eager to please, and quiet 

Likes: Pre-Venatori: Music, dancing, nightsky/stargazing, animals, campfires, climbing trees, outdoors, shifting, magic, helping people and friends Post-Venatori: Touch, music, shifting, magic and night sky

Dislikes: Pre-Venatori: Darkspawn, the blight whispers, feeling trapped, being bored, strong smells, and unkind people Post-Venatori: disappointing her superiors, the voices, feeling trapped, her appearance and feeling useless 

Quirks: Her ears wiggle and droop fairly often showing her emotions, she often stands on her tip toes because she likes the grounding sensation, is very touch starved/craves physical affection, prefers being in a shifted form, avoids mirrors, and has been known to cover her ears if her blight sensitivity is flaring up

Backstory: (WARNING mention of torture and abuse)

Kirsi Sarel, an orphan mage of clan Ghilain was unfortunately blighted at the age of nineteen. With little choices in the matter the young mage joined the grey wardens. As a mage and primarily a healer she was placed under senior Warden Agostino D’Suna’s squadron consisting of Fen and Lil’lath Thorne both from clan Sabre. Roughly a year later young Mavis Thorne joined their squadron. Kirsi was quick to find a friend in Mavis as she welcomed the girl into the world of the wardens. Due to being blighted she found herself fairly sensitive to the blight’s song. It was roughly six months after Mavis’ initiation that after an explosion destroying a darspawn horde that Kirsi was pronounced dead.

However she was found alive by Venatori cultists…Discovering the dalish girl was not only blight sensitive but also a shifter she was…brought to Nox’s care to break her into her desired underling. The torture she endured made her forget much of herself and her life before…including her life as a warden. She was told she was sick…her blight sensitivity being a sickness only the Venatori and her lady could cure. And the poor, broken warden followed obediently, becoming Nox’s little subordinate.
