"Uh... I suppress it until the full moon rolls around and then go on a rampage in the woods, looking for something to sink my fangs or dick into."

And usually leading up to that he he's either hunting for sex or a fight because those had proved to distract him long enough to not feel like a monster.

"So yeah, I don't think I'm a great comparison. Never got a handle on it ever. Sorry."

He rubs the back of his head, bashful at admitting his long standing weakness.

[thankmaui]

"oh." the information took him just a second to process, maybe a bit longer due to the pellar filters still trying to operate in his mind. "that is both terrifying and exciting, thank you for sharing." maui turns the confession back and forth in his head, his head quite literally tilting in the air. "well, you got plenty of time to figure it out now. it's helpful i think that you know it's the full moon energy, maybe you can like ... pinpoint exactly what that feels like and try to do the opposite." these things were so hard to put in words, and made him sound like a fruity idiot, but he clearly needed to try anyways to understand his own strengths better. and himself better. again.

[petalsandwinds]

vincent let out a snort as he heard the other man's words. feeling that cock twitching below his ass, vincent was definitely feeling rather... excited. and he couldn't wait to see just what he could get up to with the other man. "worried that you're going to defile little ole me?" vincent asked playfully. "don't worry, i've been defiled already. i'm twenty-five years old. not including my fairy life. how about you?" he couldn't help the way his eyes trailed over maui's body. happily taking in every inch of it. he did just completely his first successful training session after all... why shouldn't he treat himself? "you going to be a good student for me?" vincent purred as he teasingly lowered his face down, lips brushing against the other man's in the most wickedly teasing manner.

[thankmaui]

maui laughed along with vincent's question, but it wasn't very hearty as he was still very focused on the answer. once he had it, he still wasn't satisfied. "okay and how old are you in fairy years?" though his physical self was quickly finding satisfaction in the moment, and threatening to take over whatever mental angle he was looking to find. especially as he followed vincent's gaze spilling all over himself, nodding before he could even think about it, his body just taking over to answer. "yes, yes, i think i could learn very well and i would apply myself real...studiously. dedicated, you know." his fingers searched endlessly for new information about vincent's ass, starting to curl around the waistband of his pants.

[grimmacing]

Matai  couldn't  help  but  laugh.  “  Maui,  you're  one  of  the  greatest  heroes  in  all  of  Tirulia.  You  expected  me,  a  new  fledgling  demigod,  to  not  use  cheap  tricks?  That's  all  I  have.  ”  Now  that  he  had  decided  to  simply  not  care  about  stupid  Maui,  the  shield  he  had  created  mentally  was  robust  and  thick.  “  But,  i'll  get  you  next  time,  for  real.  ”  He  patted  the  man  in  the  chest  as  though  to  demoralize  him  and  pushed  himself  to  stand  with  a  hand  extended.  “  Do  you  think  it's  too  early  to  be  referred  to  as  Matai,  Hero  of  Motunui,  bester  of  Maui  the  great?  ”  Game  fucking  on,  asshole. 

[thankmaui]

maui felt like his mind was being methodically bent into a pretzel; he could only hope it wouldn't spring back open and kill them all. "WHAT???" his voice cracked a little, he was struggling to manage nonchalant distance. "i'm the asshole for believing you weren't a cheap trick? you're fuckin high." and he did actually start to believe there was some kind of chemical reaction happening or the curse had darkened into some schizo mind trap or something, he didn't know, just had to go. he awkwardly scrambled out from under matai's touch, not wanting to be beneath him another second, as the other man was already relieving him of the obligation. maui got his own feet under himself as quick as possible, though he stayed in a squat, felt safer that way. and it did help him to absorb matai's final blow, which might have knocked him over otherwise. as it is, his eyes rolled in his head. "yeah start saying it now so no one will ever believe you. might be just the right cry to get you the help you need."

[bredgrimmed]

a part of him didn't like how easy it seemed for maui to get a good read on him. plus, enzi worked better when he was alone as opposed to partnered up with someone. "the brain to your brawn?" that was his way of calling him stupid, covertly of course. "we'll see how we fair when we're on the same team then, i guess."

[thankmaui]

"thanks for noticing, big buddy." maui waggled his brows a little, loving the title and permission to look like a hot stud and not be responsible for any decisions. "we're not already on the same team?"

[bredgrimmed]

seeing the man actually shift right before his eyes was hot. devlin stopped circling around him in the water and clapped his hands. "wait, shit, you can actually shift!" his smile only grows wider as he shifts himself into a british shorthair cat. he floats above the water and his eyes shine a bright pinkish purple shade. he looks over at the shark, maui, and laughs rather loudly. "look at us! a couple of freaks."

[thankmaui]

the praise inherent in the man's voice when he sounded so impressed gave maui an extra bit of energy and motivation to grow even bigger shark muscles, so he looked more pumped up and inflated than any shark ever has. he catches the pink glint coming from above the water in such a strange way and it makes his shark belly hungry with curiosity. curiosity that is usually rewarded with some good kind of snack. he comes up out of the water teeth first, snapping in the air next to the cat before slapping back to the surface with a splash. "real freaks!!" he can't even help but laugh, a little deliriously. "i almost just took a bite out of your ass."

[bredgrimmed]

"you buttering me up to knock me out on my ass again?" this might be one of chiron's little proteges, but enzi wouldn't hold back if they found themselves sparring again. not that it would help him much. "the mind is a powerful thing. you can convince yourself of a lot." he nodded in maui's direction, finally dropping his shoulders for the first time since this interaction started.

[thankmaui]

maui couldn't help but laugh a little at the thought, he'd love to be that sly sometimes, but ultimately never had it in him. "no i'm dead serious, bud! i think we're gonna make a great team, because i beat ass, but you're slick and sly." and he'd always convince himself of a lot, sure, who better?

[grimmacing]

it  had  been  complicated  for  matai  to  parse  out  his  feelings  for  makoa  and  now  realizing  that  it  was  very  clear  that  maui  was  maui  and  didn't  let  any  of  those  pellar  feelings  seep  through  was  very  illuminating  —  at  least,  that  would  make  this  easy.  matai  had  always  been  independent,  but  their  life  was  truly  intertwined  with  maui's  for  years  and  years.  taking  a  moment  in  being  on  the  floor  from  his  asskicking,  matai  remembered  who  the  fuck  he  was  as  a  new  demigod.  maui's  stupid  overwhelming  presence  could  be  felt  near  his  body  and  matai  looked  up  at  him  to  quickly  tackle  the  man  to  the  floor  with  a  hand  to  his  chest  to  show  the  ferocity  he  kept  close.  “  see,  told  you  besting  you  would  be  easy.  ”  perhaps  if  he  faked  it  enough,  it  would  slowly  get  easier  to  deal  with  maui  in  this  aftermath. 

[thankmaui]

maui definitely never saw it coming, this little bitch sucker move matai put on him, and before he knew it, he was laid out beneath the sore loser. dazed, maui wanted to yell and choke him out but didn't have the heart; just gave him a dull look instead, "i really didn't expect that cheap shit from you. they scrambled your eggs real bad man, i don't know what they did to you in that town, but you're broken for sure." he'd have to think about telling chiron on him.

[bredgrimmed]

after he was finally in the water, devlin realized that maybe he should have taken off the denim shorts. whatever, they would have to deal with that later. once he started to tread the water, he thought it'd be a cool idea to circle around the demigod, almost like he was the shark in the ocean. "oh that would be so cool! do whatever you want, i love seeing people's creativity get the best of them." that time, when he smiled, his eyes flashed a bright pink color with a hint of purple in it.

[thankmaui]

maui nodded earnestly and started to turn himself in a slow circle to watch the other man's eerie movements. he hated that he was still creeped out, but tried to tap into his sharklike essence all the same, match it, feel his way into a shark shift. maui did feel his tattoo twitch for some reason as he felt himself elongating, felt toothier, understanding the concept of breathing via gills all at once.

[bredgrimmed]

he could kill him. he could slash the man's throat and no one would be the wiser. then again, maui's neck looked thick as hell. "what's the point of dwelling over a loss when we're all on the same team? i should be glad you're that strong, means you could protect my hide out there." that was the only pro he could see in that moment. enzi knew to hide behind maui if someone came attacking them. "i saw people sleeping out under trees cause they didn't want to break into someone's home. it's crazy how quickly we got used to all of this though."

[thankmaui]

"and i would, i really would. swear man. i take it as an honor really to train with you." maui had heard things here and there about the man since they'd first met, and enzi seemed pretty ruthless. "yeah, i think we can get used to anything, probably. especially when we don't have a choice." he smiled wide, thinking of how it applied to their bonding as well.

[hexcharmed]

"     hmm.  i  mean,  i  was  born  from  a  piece  of  magic  metal  that  was  given  to  my  dad.  so  i  don't  think  i  would  be  much  help  with  ...  that,     "                 joseph  said,  biting  his  lip  as  he  walked  to  their  side.  even  until  now,  when  he  was  supposed  to  be  used  to  his  body  being  flesh  and  blood,  he  still  had  days  when  he  forgot:  that  he  shouldn't  touch  things  or  he  would  be  wounded  or  burned,  that  his  father  couldn't  just  repair  his  broken  bone  or  ruined  skin  with  solder  and  fire,  or  that  he  had  a  fragile  heart  that  he  should  worry  about. 

perhaps  that  was  what  life  was  to  him?  not  something  that  could  be  easily  fixed  when  broken,  but  something  to  be  cherished  and  not  taken  for  granted.      "     but  my  father  did  say  that  life  will  always  throw  stuff  at  you  and  it's  your  choice  on  how  to  take  it.  i  won't  tell  you  how,  but  i  think  you  should  know  the  answer  to  that  ...     "

at  the  mention  of  a  drink,  his  brows  lifted  and  a  mischievous  grin  formed  on  his  lips.  he  had  only  ever  been  drunk  a  few  times  before,  and  all  of  them  usually  ended  with  him  shitfaced  and  hungover.  but  he  did  remember  how  much  fun  it  could  be.      "     do  you  have  anything  there?  i  usually  just  drink  fruity  cocktails.  beer  is  yucky.     "

[thankmaui]

maui thought about that a moment: born from a piece of magic metal. interested, he cocked his head a little, looking the metal man over once or twice. "how old are you? you don't look like any metal i've ever seen. must have been a powerful spell or something." still puzzling, maui tried to wait for an answer before making any more guesses. the father's advice was also interesting, and maui found it sound. "that's true enough, though i'm not always sure i do know the answer to that."

"sure, i got a couple bottles back at a spot. you like spiced rum? coconut? that kinda thing?"

[petalsandwinds]

vincent groaned as those hands groped at the fleshy meat of his ass. his hips rocking back into those big hands. he continued kissing and making out with the other man. "i know a lot of things," vincent mumbled against the other man's lips as he kissed back. his hips slowly dropping down so he could grind his ass against the other man's crotch. "and i'm sure we could teach each other some of them." he groaned softly before he began to suck and nip at the other man's neck.

[thankmaui]

he was glad when vincent returned gestures, met him halfway, so maui felt good about gripping and pulling him in by the hips, matching his speed and intensity. it really didn't take long to harden beneath that weight, his dick knowing exactly what it was supposed to be doing, growing against the gentle grind. maui let his head fall back, letting the other man explore at his pace. "i'd be surprised if i know that much more than you, i think i'm the student here, really. wait, how old are you? just wondering."

[thrcughthewccds]

Conan places a hand on his chest, giving a dramatic wistful sigh.

"What a gentleman, I say. Thank you kind sir."

Conan takes Maui's arm and they start the walk back to the palace.

"But seriously, dude. Can you turn into, like, anything? At will?"

He feels a pang of jealousy but pushes it down. No need to bring his personal drama into this. They're just guys having some fun together. Conan's good at that. It's like top 5 things he's good at.

[thankmaui]

maui beams at the formalities. "you're most welcome, adorable sir." "yes, in theory, but it's weird to get a handle on now ... or explain really, it's like i have to have some way of feeling my way into it. how do you tap into your skills?" it might help to have some perspective on the way it worked for other people, he'd never really cared about that before. but he'd never had to.

[thankmaui]

[ closed starter for : @grimmacing ] [ location : motunui beach spar spot ]

the heat and frustration maui had felt build during the spar quickly dissipated, and it felt too quiet now, almost awkward. he wished matai would get up and shake his hand like they were two men in training, but he just lay there instead. maui huffed and walked close, dropping into a squat by matai's head. "you gonna make it, you think?"

[bredgrimmed]

honestly, whoever that meg person was that they met earlier was great. they offered him the advice of looking like a meek little damsel. then, when some hunk with large muscles came, BAM. knock them off course and surprise them. he hoped that's what he was doing with maui. "live a little, come on! you totally can scare me if you believed hard enough." devlin decided to kick off his boots and socks and jump into the water, in makoa's direction. "so do i! so freeing like you said. do you want to play mermaids or something?" the wide smile was still there, even with his curls now wet against his forehead.

[thankmaui]

he was starting to like the encouragement from this strange young man in the water, maui did think he could do anything if he believed hard enough. he swam back a little to give dude room to slip in, starting to smile more brightly now in response to the teeth. maybe he just looked a little creepy, that was okay, not his fault. "sure! i could also play fish or whales or sharks pretty easily i think, i can be whatever you like." maybe he could scare him during their game.

[bredgrimmed]

he should kill him. he should bring his fangs back out and bite that large ass hand. captain hook could use a partner in crime. "yeah, you were great to spar with. really gave me a run for my money and showed me what's out there." enzi nodded slowly at maui. even though he was lying through his teeth, he hated everything about this. "when did i not take you seriously?"

[thankmaui]

well this was going better than expected, they may really be bonding, even. "i'm so glad you could get something good out of it! lots of people don't have the inner fortitude to really take a lesson from a loss with such...sportsmanship. you're such a good loser, it's impressive, really!" maui shrugged off the question, throwing a dismissive hand in the air between he and enzi. "just before, you know, things were crazy right after the curse broke, no one knew what was up or down. i'm glad we've moved on now."

[petalsandwinds]

vincent sirks as he heard the other man's words. "what? now what would give you that impression, hm?" vomcemt purred as he looked down at the other. vincent let out a happy groan into the kiss as the other man's lips pressed against his. vincent kissed pack just as passionately. what? fighting someone gets the blood pumping, but fighting someone as hot as maui? how was vincent expected to stay nice and pure? he pulled back, nipping at the other man's bottom lip before his lips trailed down to his jaw and neck. "your a hot thing, you know that?" he asked before grinning up at the other and this time being the one to initiate the kiss as he pressed his lips back onto the other man's.

[thankmaui]

"you're always playing with me! i know you know i know you." as if to show this, maui traced the shape of vincent's thighs, up to grip his ass, with such confidence he had to have been there before, had to know something, have some familiarity with him. maui gave a little groan, just a short choked thing, at the nip and compliment, skin heating even more between them. "i do know that. i find it very hot that you know that." maui reciprocated, and moved to deepen their kiss, wanting to taste as much of him as possible.

[thankmaui]

[ flowers ] sender surprises receiver with flowers just because: Audrey pulls up in his super sweet sports car, a social media sized showy bouquet of tropical flowers. Just for sport. Wooing from one demigod to another.

maui instantly loves this sport, even though he's never seen it up close before, he's incredibly flattered. ego stroked to the gods! bless! he would grin and gush and open the door for audrey to get out so they could celebrate each other. "people just don't do stuff like this for you every day, you're really good people. and you have a great eye for talent, i love that about you! we should work together, for sure."
