R board games a thing? If so how would a crew game night go who’re the rule lawyers & who turns into a monster?
Fun fact: the earliest board game known to man is "The Royal Game of Ur", created in 177 AD!
Anyway--
Valerian, Thane, Sergio, and Hope are all rule lawyers! They want to win- but fair and square, damn it!
Rosalie tries but fails to cheat. She's far too obvious, so no one really mentions it to her, honestly.
Peter, Hawkeye, and Javier are all cheaters- and very good at it! Never play a card game with them, you'll lose!
Ophelia is an utter monster with games. She's not very good at games, and is very competitive- she's the first to pull out a knife if she thinks you're not playing straight!
ROs reactions to being unexpectedly pulled into a partner dance by the MC? Thanks so much!
Under the cut!
Valerian was born with two left feet. Proceed with this plan with EXTREME caution, because if you try to dance with him and you're not wearing your boots...he's gonna break your toes.
He'll be blushing though. Madly. Think about how romantic it was while icing your feet and saying sorry the entire time.
Peter is classically trained, so if anything he's going to be the one pulling YOU into the dance. He's gentle and kind and doesn't give a hoot if you step on his toes- you're there to have fun, and you wanna do it with him. That's all that matters.
Rosalie is nimble- somewhat. This allows her to have enough coordination to not step on your feet, but she has no sense of spatial awareness. Rosalie would get super into dancing with you- and knock people in the face with her elbows while she's at it.
Ophelia knows how to dance to a certain degree, but can get rather shy and would probably protest before giving up and going along with you. It take her a second or two to get used to the song and the PDA of being so close and dancing together- but she'll warm up to it by the end <3
Thane is huge, and such a man with such big feet (heh...heh) is bound to worry about how he's going to practically crush you if you're shorter than 6'0. He'll dance- awkwardly. Slowly. The man can't find the beat if it smacked him squarely in the face- but his face is blushed, and he's looking only at you.
Javier is going to be very excited and love dancing with you, and the fact you initiated it is enough to make his heart go doki doki all the while. He's smooth, he's suave, he knows moves that would get him banned for being "obscene" on at least three different planets- and he's having a helluva time with you.
Sergio is going to be like Thane- awkward. Despite his training, his coordination is terrible. His arms wouldn't know where to sit, his legs would mimic that of a clucking chicken, and he'd give a look of "if you do not stop this right now I swear to everything you love dear I will murder you"- but he says nothing. In fact, he'll come to enjoy it, and it'll become a fond memory for him.
Hope would be interested (and excited, dare I say?) to learn how to dance. Art and self-expression elude them, so to have someone to dance with (let alone have that be their S/O) and learn as they do...it's special. Very special. It would probably inspire Hope to pick up an instrument or two.
Hawkeye...ah, be careful. They'll take it as a bit of a joke at first, and use it as a means to get handsy and close and do every pick up line and sexy move in the book. As time goes on they'd probably get more and more bashful; loose. They'll trip and stumble, blush as they hold onto your hand. They forgot what it was like to be able to just enjoy the moment like that.
Ooo, do you have love languages for the ROs. Sorry if this has been asked!
It's all good dear- really, truly, none of you guys should feel the need to be sorry about asking! I love answering these questions you guys are giving me!
(Besides, tumblr is fucking terrible when it comes to tags. Bah.)
HAWKEYE: Actions. Words are cheap to an assassin, and they've conditioned themselves not to believe anything anyone tells them. Soft touches, grandiose gestures, sex three times a week- it doesn't matter. Just the fact that you're doing things for them shows that you mean it. And that's hard for Hawkeye to get used to, very hard.
But when you finally breakthrough with Hawkeye and they finally begin to let their guard down, they're yours, wholly and completely.
How does everyone feel about matching couple's outfits? 😌
Hehe! cute one!
Under the cut!
Valerian finds the idea funny as hell, and will do it on the pretense that it's meant to be a joke with his s/o for the crew to enjoy.
"Oh? You hadn't heard, Sergio? We're wearing uniforms, now."
"It's...it's seafoam green, Captain,"
"And on Wednesdays we wear seafoam green, detective."
Peter loves the idea unironically, and will do his damndest to make it a thing. Big or small or completely matching, it doesn't matter- so long as he's functional in whatever he's got on, he's good.
Sergio would stare at you in utter disbelief and wonder if you were perhaps dropped a bit too many times as a child.
"No offense, darling, but your taste is a bit more," He hesitates, "rugged, than I think I can pull off."
Rosalie would find the idea adorable, and would want to try it out, not unlike Peter. She'd probably go for something closer to color or pattern coordination in the end, though.
Ophelia spent a bit too long in the Harpii's royal army to ever want to wear the same clothes as someone else ever again, but can be persuaded under the right circumstances. Because she's soft for you.
Thane would stare at you in disbelief and briefly wonder if you were drunk enough to the point where asking someone like him to MATCH OUTFITS with you was a good idea- but here's the thing, he'd secretly enjoy the idea. It'd have to be subtle, though. He's sentimental like that.
Javier would also get a pretty good kick out of it, thinking it was a silly, cute joke. If you were more serious about it, however, he'd be touched and make certain changes to his wear in order to match your own.
????/Hope would most likely already be dressing in coordination with you already, because they like you, and like what you wear...so why not wear those colors and clothing types for themself? It'd be pleasing to you, right?
