What if I took a SQUIP for funsies? If I dont like it I can just shift into my native form and it'll fall out because technically not baryonic matter.

What if my weird CULTIST double took one?

[sungaziing]

It's a commune, not a cult.

[sungaziing]

Friends, I have all faith you will be happy one day!

You have no choice 🙂🙂🙂

It has come to my attention that some of our blessed family do not agree with my being Morning Glory’s right hand and thus the one to take over his duties in his absence.  I do not know how I am supposed to feel about this. I am doing a fine job! Everybody else is happy...

[sungaziing]

I suppose, with dear Morning Glory on another sabbatical, I'm in charge for a bit! I'm honored to have the responsibility! Let's press forward with Sol guiding the way. Business as usual.

Sungazer purrs at the acceptance of his gift and the kiss to his chin, ducking his head to kiss the top of Adam’s scalp. He clips the necklace about the smaller man’s neck, then takes both Adam’s hands as he kneels down in front of him in a pose of adoration and dedication. “Moreso than that, think of it as a token of my devotion to you, Adam. I want to be yours, and only yours, just like that sunstone. Sol showed me the path I should take; and it is by your side, forever.” It’s a sort of proposal. Knelt down like this, Sungazer was so much easier to kiss. “I’d like to watch the sunset with you.”

☀️ —–  Letting them place the necklace on him, it dropped just above the lapel chains that loosely hooked his open collar together, and matched his already bright wardrobe. He was not expecting however, for them to suddenly kneel to him, making his honey eyes flutter in blinks.

As they speak his smile, always there and always bright, warmed and softened, curling his lips as he looked them more equally in the eye at this height. There was nothing that felt quite as warm and wonderful as devotion.  He slowly leans in as he whispers to them, meeting their forehead with his.   “ Then… you ARE mine… only mine, now and forever. ”   He kisses them deeply on their upper lips, pulling back to continue to them,  “ and I have felt our purpose intertwining since I first made you smile… We are exactly where we belong. “

He sits down in the grass of the hilltop beside him, holding their hand, facing their Sun.

[sungaziing]

The other hand not holding Adam's comes up to tangle fingers in his blonde hair as they kissed. To find somebody who accepted him and all his little quirks like Adam did was exceedingly rare- he knew this to be the path to his own Happiness, as Sol had shown him. As Adam settles down to sit beside him, he eases further down onto his haunches and coils his tail loosely about them. The sun starts to drop towards the horizon, casting long shadows behind them as the bonfire starts to flicker to life, as if it was borrowing the flame from their setting Sun.

"Do we tell them?" Sungazer muses out loud, eyes watching the gathering about the fire, his visible golden eye seeming to glow a bit in the dying light.

Adam was magnificent, Sungazer knew that to be true, but nothing illustrated that as his ceaseless devotion to their Sol and the commune on days like these. Sungazer did his best to keep up, seeing himself as a partner to Adam ever since he confessed his love for him a year ago. But he had an epiphany while meditating a couple of weeks back; as if Sol themself had spoken directly to him. Perhaps it was time to make this partnership more official, to take his place beside Adam in this bright new world.

He presented Adam with a package wrapped in soft white tissue paper. Within was a pendant boasting a cut and polished orange-ish crystal that appeared to glow from withinl, wrapped in thin bands of gold, to match the delicate chain it had been strung on.

“It’s a sunstone! I have a couple in my collection but I wanted this one to be yours.”

[morning-glcry-deactivated201912]

☀️ —– A little gasp leaves his sterling smile at the sight, taking it in his painted finger tips to neatly unwrap the sheer papers and reveal the stunning gemstone inside.

“ Ohh~ it’s beautiful Sungazer..! ”  Adam awed as he lifts the stone up by the chain, revealing it to the setting sunlight behind him and watching how it lit ablaze in it. It wasn’t long before he opened his arms wide, his usual warning he was coming for a hug, and kisses his chin before pulling back.  “ Thank you..! I’ll wear it all the time and think of you, sunshine…”   He assured in a coo with both hands on the taller other’s chest.  “ This day just keeps getting better… ”

Sometime after the feast and before the bonfire, Sungazer sought out Adam. He was in his Solstice finery, soft white robes and a flower crown placed on his head by one of his Sisters in Sol. "My Morning Glory, I have something for you." -sungaziing

☀️ -----  There was no better day than today to truly see how much endless energy this man had. One hundred and eight sun salutations, running around the commune, ceremonies, constantly chatting and laughing, and the man was still smiling bright as ever.

Their Sun was setting, the bonfire was being prepared, and Adam stood alone-- for once today-- watching over it all from the hill.

“ Sungazer! Oh, Sun salutations my light...  ”  He beamed warmly.  “ What do you have? ”

A glorious and Resplendent Solstice to you all! Lets bask in Sol's glory for today they have chosen to smile upon us for the longest. We are Blessed!

"Hey. It's been a while."

“Mmm, Abbie, right? Are you here to celebrate the Solstice with us?”

He’d been converted somewhere a year and a half ago and now he couldn’t leave even if he wanted to. His powers were incredibly weakened due to the purification and mind rewiring he had gone through.

“Oh, Morning Glory usually picks the sacrifice, but last year twas a cow. It was a good few days after that. Lots of meat and offal for me to eat. But my offering to him is much simpler, a handmade gift.”

He wiggles his bandaged fingers.

A cow. That was good. Not great, animal sacrifice was never great, but it was being eaten so that was good. Still. She’d probably leave before it happened: the frantic kill of a fight was one thing, but a calmly planned killing always made her queasy.

“Handmade gifts are always the best.” It’d been a while since she’d made or received one, but she’d liked crafting once. Sewing plushes, making paper flowers, jewlery making. (Wasn’t much time for that now) “So what did you make?” she asked. “Unless it’s private.”

[sungaziing]

"That is personal, but I can say that I put my heart, soul, and blood into it, intentional or not." Oh ominous!

"You should stay, though! Or at least, eat a little bit, you look like you could use it, friend!"

[sungaziing]

"Hey. It's been a while."

“Sol is the sun, yes.” He nods, sitting with his hands folded in his lap. “Morning Glory is the prophet who brings us Sol’s light. And he is somebody I am close to in spirit. He rescued me from my sadness and taught me how to smile. I owe him.”

“That sounds lovely,” Abbie said amiably, hiding her worry and letting only curiosity show. “Do you have a sacrifice picked out already? For Sol and Morning Glory.”

Yes, she should probably leave. The cultish vibes she had gotten last time were only getting stronger. But Sungazer was interesting, she was fascinated, and had always been too curious for her own good. Why was he here?

It was mostly just Sungazer living among his human Brothers and Sisters, but everybody was so purified and carefree, that they hardly cared that the big beast wasn’t human. He plays with the bandages wrapped about some of his fingers.

“Oh yes! We celebrate by dancing and feasting, and we offer a sacrifice to Sol to show our gratitude. And I have plans too. I want to make an offering to Morning Glory himself.” He looks away, gold in his cheeks.

“A sacrifice?” Abbie’s eyes don’t widen, her voice does not change, but she wonders if maybe it’s best to head on after all. She’s seen many things in the past years, and is not surprised. Just cautious.

It could be an animal, of course, but even that can make her queasy, depending on how it’s done. Maybe fruits or grains, but that’s not in style so much.

“Sol is. The sun god.” Roman mythology. “And Morning Glory?”

[sungaziing]

"Sol is the sun, yes." He nods, sitting with his hands folded in his lap. "Morning Glory is the prophet who brings us Sol's light. And he is somebody I am close to in spirit. He rescued me from my sadness and taught me how to smile. I owe him."

[learningmagics-blog]

“That’s tomorrow, right?” She shoves her hands into the pockets of her jeans. “Are you doing something?” Any solstice was a tricky time to be on the road when you were neck deep in magic. Light was not necessarily kind, dark not necessarily evil, they just were. And since half the magic she dealt in involved hiding, on the solstice it would be particularly weak. 

“I was in the area and I thought I’d stop by, really.” The place gave her the jitters, but she was intrigued with anywhere that had non human creatures living so out in the opened, unhidden magic.
