> Paloma: Fluffiness with a short excursion to HOT MAKEOUTS.

-- absoluteAltitude [AA] began trolling nitroMerc [NM] at 14:44 --
-- absoluteAltitude [AA]  is all curled up on the couch, reading a book. Doesn't seem like anyone else is in the dwellingblock right now... --
-- nitroMerc [NM]  pounds on the door! --
NM: Heeeeeeeeeey! M☼ssy!
NM: M☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼ssy!
NM: Hey M☼ssy, ☼pen up!!
-- absoluteAltitude [AA]  hops up to answer it. --
AA: <\ Coming! />
-- absoluteAltitude [AA]  unlocks the door and opens it up, giving Cucali a small smile. It doesn't seem as weak as before. Good. --
-- nitroMerc [NM]  likes that smile! She saunters in. --
NM: Geeeez, d☼es it take y☼u that l☼ng t☼ ☼pen a d☼☼r???
-- absoluteAltitude [AA]  laughs, heading back to the couch. --
AA: <\ Sorry, sorry! />
NM: Ha!! Y☼u s☼und like y☼u're in a g☼☼d m☼☼d!
AA: <\ I, I've realised something. It... it makes things easier. />
-- nitroMerc [NM]  flops down on the sofa. --
NM: Yeeeeeeeah?? And what is it?
AA: <\ Well, it, it's gonna sound really weird when I say it... but, Ranigi's ghost told me things. />
NM: ... a gh☼☼☼☼st?
-- nitroMerc [NM]  ;/ --
AA: <\ Yeah... />
-- nitroMerc [NM]  finds that weird but... okay. --
NM: Right. Aaaaaaand what'd he tell y☼u?
AA: <\ He told me about, about that game we'll play. It's apparently the only way to avoid dying... going to some land or another. A part of the game, I guess. But apparently it'll put everyone in danger, too... />
AA: <\ So... so I've gotta make sure everyone will survive. />
NM: ...
-- absoluteAltitude [AA]  laughs, shaking her head. --
NM: Pfffffhahahaha!
AA: <\ It's too weird, isn't it? />
NM: Man, y☼u s☼und alm☼st like S☼l!!
NM: Weird? It's bey☼nd crazy!!
AA: <\ But... he was really convincing. />
AA: <\ And, and even if the game's just a game... I think that keeping everyone alive is a good enough goal to have, in the real world. />
NM: Pssh, y☼u w☼n't have t☼ w☼rry ab☼ut that!
NM: D☼n't y☼u have en☼ugh t☼ w☼rry ab☼ut already, dumbass??
-- absoluteAltitude [AA]  smiles. --
AA: <\ Yeah, but... I have to make up for what happened. />
NM: Sheeeeesh! When did y☼u get s☼ n☼ble, huh???
NM: Did I miss a mem☼ s☼mewhere?
AA: <\ I, I can't just punish myself. It won't help anything. So, I've got to be noble instead... that'll actually do something. />
-- nitroMerc [NM]  looks at her strangely. --
NM: W☼w, y☼u really did g☼ crazy!
-- absoluteAltitude [AA]  sighs, looking away. --
AA: <\ I guess I kinda did... />
NM: ... hey!!
NM: I'm n☼t c☼mplainin'! The crazier y☼u are, the better. Y☼u g☼tta l☼☼sen up anyway, little birdie!
-- absoluteAltitude [AA]  scooches a little closer to Cucali, taking her hand. She smiles. --
AA: <\ That... that sort of crazy wasn't good for anyone. />
-- nitroMerc [NM]  lets her, pretending nonchalance as she leans closer. --
NM: Y☼u're damn right it was!! Y☼u were m☼pin' all ☼ver the place an' everythin'. I like this ☼ne a l☼☼☼☼☼t better! It's a l☼t m☼re fun!!
-- absoluteAltitude [AA]  laughs a little. --
AA: <\ Ehehe... you, you think so? Good. />
NM: Well, duuuuuh! It's a l☼t better than bef☼re! See, y☼u're laughin' like the ditz y☼u are!!
AA: <\ Hey! I, I am not a ditz! />
-- absoluteAltitude [AA]  grins. --
NM: Y☼u are a diiiitz! The biggest ditz that ever existed!
AA: <\ Nope! Nope nope nope! />
NM: C'm☼n, even y☼u aren't that stupid!! Y☼u kn☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼w y☼u're a ditz!
AA: <\ No way! I am the diametric opposite of a ditz! />
AA: <\ I'm the anti-ditz! />
-- nitroMerc [NM]  pats her head. --
NM: Aaaaw, l☼☼k at y☼u!
NM: Tryin' t☼ deny the truth!!
NM: It's ☼kay, I w☼n't tell aaaaaany☼ne!
-- absoluteAltitude [AA]  blushes a little and laughs. It's almost desperate, but... at least it isn't hollow. --
AA: <\ Okay, okay...! />
AA: <\ ... gosh, this sort of thing... I never thought I'd get to just relax like this again. />
-- nitroMerc [NM]  likes that blush and laugh! It means that Paloma is not being frightening (no, not frightening, just weird) anymore! She grins. --
NM: Tr☼lls are t☼ugh, an' as much as I hate t☼ admit it, y☼u're ☼ne!! And c'm☼n, I kn☼w that I'm impressive, but y☼u can relax in my c☼mpany!
-- absoluteAltitude [AA]  smiles, leaning against Cucali. --
AA: <\ Thanks, Cucali... maybe, maybe I will. />
NM: Just maaaaaaaybe?
NM: N☼t yes?
NM: D☼ I scare y☼u that much, l☼wbl☼☼☼☼d?
-- absoluteAltitude [AA]  giggles, nestling in against Cucali. --
AA: <\ You don't scare me at all. />
NM: Geez, then I'm n☼t tryin' hard en☼ugh it seems!
AA: <\ Haha... sorry, Cucali, but you'll always be wonderful in my eyes. />
-- nitroMerc [NM]  rolls her eye, sliiiiiiding her arm over her shoulder. --
NM: We'll see ab☼ut that!!
-- absoluteAltitude [AA]  smiles up at Cucali, slipping her good hand around her waist. Hugs? Hugs. --
-- nitroMerc [NM]  lets her as she kicks up her feet. --
NM: I'm a teeeeeeerrible tr☼ll! I c☼uld pr☼ve it t☼ y☼u really easily!!
AA: <\ But, but I don't think you will. />
NM: Maybe I will, just t☼ pr☼ve it t☼ y☼u!! Just because y☼u said I w☼uldn't!
-- absoluteAltitude [AA]  laughs, reaching up with her hand to brush Cucali's hair behind her fin. --
AA: <\ Even if you proved it, I'd still pity you. />
NM: Y☼u say that n☼w, but just wait an' see!!
NM: Y☼u'll be aaaaaall regretful in the future, I'm willin' t☼ bet!
-- absoluteAltitude [AA]  shakes her head. --
AA: <\ I won't be. />
-- nitroMerc [NM]  winds her hand in her hair. --
NM: That's what y☼u saaaaaay!
NM: But y☼u'll be eatin' y☼ur w☼rds!
-- absoluteAltitude [AA]  strokes Cucali's cheek, gazing up at her. --
AA: <\ Don't tell me what I'll do. Because I absolutely pity you. />
NM: Y☼u kiddin' me?? I ☼wn y☼u. I can tell y☼u t☼ d☼ whateeeeeever I want.
-- absoluteAltitude [AA]  shakes her head. --
AA: <\ I'll listen to you, but... you can't tell me what to do about this. />
AA: <\ I'm yours, but... I still have my own thoughts. />
-- nitroMerc [NM]  leans closer until their noses are almost touching. --
NM: Well, y☼u're in f☼r a w☼rld ☼f hurt then, girlie. Because I'm the best at hurtin' tr☼lls. That's what I'm paid t☼ d☼.
NM: And I d☼n't like insub☼rdinati☼n!
-- absoluteAltitude [AA]  cups Cucali's cheek in a hand, smiling to her. --
AA: <\ You don't have to prove that... I, I know you're tough. />
-- nitroMerc [NM]  blushes a little. --
NM: Wh☼ says I'm tryin' t☼ pr☼ve anythin'??
NM: I am t☼ugh.
AA: <\ ... and I love it. I love how strong you are. />
NM: ... ha. I g☼tta be t☼ take care ☼f weaklings like y☼u.
AA: <\ Hehehe... />
-- absoluteAltitude [AA]  giggles, still smiling. --
-- nitroMerc [NM]  breaks out into a smile despite herself. --
NM: Whaaat? D☼ y☼u think it's funny?
AA: <\ No, I'm just... glad to have you. I'm glad my heart is yours. />
NM: There y☼u g☼, bein' sappy again!! Geeeez, y☼u're layin' it ☼n thick t☼night!
-- absoluteAltitude [AA]  blushes a little. --
AA: <\ Well, I, I am sappy, you know! />
NM: Y☼u're s☼☼☼☼☼ sappy that y☼u c☼uld be a tree!!
AA: <\ At, at least if I were, I'd be able to give you shade. />
-- nitroMerc [NM]  laughs. --
NM: There y☼u g☼ again!
NM: Sappy, sappy, saaaaaappy!
NM: Maybe we sh☼uld just call y☼u sappybl☼☼d fr☼m n☼w ☼n!
AA: <\ But, but it isn't in my blood! />
NM: Y☼u kiddin' me? Y☼u're sp☼utin' s☼ much pick-up lines that y☼u might as well have sap runnin' thr☼ugh y☼ur veins!
AA: <\ Well, maybe I'd stop if one worked! />
NM: Ha!
NM: That'll be the day!!
NM: I w☼n't fall f☼r aaaaaanythin' y☼u thr☼w at me.
-- absoluteAltitude [AA]  gives Cucali a shy smile. --
AA: <\ ... would, would you fall for me? />
-- nitroMerc [NM]  smirks. --
NM: I'm n☼t fallin' f☼r any☼ne. But I'll let y☼u fall f☼r me.
NM: I'm n☼t the type t☼ fall!!
-- absoluteAltitude [AA]  blushes. --
AA: <\ I, I guess you're the type to stand tall, yeah... />
NM: Geez, l☼☼k at y☼u!! Y☼u're gl☼win' like the m☼☼ns!
AA: <\ Is, is that a problem? />
NM: As l☼ng as n☼b☼dy's l☼☼kin' f☼r us, I d☼n't care!! Sheesh, a blind tr☼ll can see y☼u with that blush ☼f y☼urs!
AA: <\ I, I'm pretty sure everyone's elsewhere right now... />
NM: ☼☼☼☼☼h? Is thaaaaat s☼?
-- nitroMerc [NM]  smirks. --
-- absoluteAltitude [AA]  isn't going to /stop/ blushing anytime soon. --
AA: <\ Y, yeah... />
NM: Then I h☼pe they w☼n't mind if we mess s☼me things up!!
AA: <\ Like, like what? />
-- nitroMerc [NM]  leans over so her lips are brushing against Paloma's ear. --
NM: What d☼ y☼u think I'm talkin' ab☼ut, m☼☼☼☼☼ssbl☼☼d??
AA: <\ Cucali... />
NM: Whaaaat?
-- absoluteAltitude [AA]  tilts her head back, moving her hand down to cup Cucali's chin as she gives her a light, questioning kiss. --
-- nitroMerc [NM]  wasn't expecting that! She didn't expect Paloma to actually /respond/ there. Cucali blushes brightly, pushing her away. --
NM: Wh☼a wh☼a wh☼a there what are y☼u even d☼ing here!
-- absoluteAltitude [AA]  stammers, holding her hand out in front of her in a placating motion. (She almost raises both of her arms, but... one wouldn't even matter, would it? Best to just keep it at her side.) --
AA: <\ I, I I was just, I thought... />
NM: Sheesh, I didn't think that'd y☼u actually--! Geez! C☼uld y☼u give me a heads-up?
AA: <\ S, sorry... />
-- nitroMerc [NM]  grumbles, crosses her arms. She doesn't look like she's going to do anything violent, though, thank goodness. --
NM: Gettin' a backb☼ne's d☼ing straaaaaange things t☼ y☼u, m☼ssy!!
AA: <\ W, well, rest assured I'll probably never have your type of confidence! />
NM: Y☼u're damn right y☼u w☼n't!! That w☼uldn't be g☼☼d f☼r either ☼f us, I bet!
-- absoluteAltitude [AA]  laughs, shaking her head. --
AA: <\ No... no, I guess it wouldn't! />
-- nitroMerc [NM]  smiles at that. --
NM: An' what was that back there, huh??
NM: Was that supp☼sed t☼ be a kiiiiss?
NM: That was the s☼rriest excuse ☼f a kiss I've ever received!
-- absoluteAltitude [AA]  blushes anew. --
AA: <\ I, I wasn't sure, so... />
NM: Y☼u weren't suuuure? Geez, this is why y☼u're terrible!
NM: Y☼u g☼tta mean it when y☼u d☼ it, m☼ssbl☼☼d!!
NM: A seadweller like me demands it!
-- nitroMerc [NM]  ;D --
-- absoluteAltitude [AA]  continues blushing as she scoots closer. --
AA: <\ If, if that's what you want! />
-- nitroMerc [NM]  leeeeeans over. --
NM: Are y☼u suuuuure y☼u can d☼ it, little birdie??
-- absoluteAltitude [AA]  nods, firm, and reaches out to put her hand on Cucali's shoulder. --
AA: <\ I... I can! />
-- nitroMerc [NM]  squeezes her hand. --
NM: Ha!!
NM: Just tryyyy t☼ impress me, m☼ssbl☼☼d!
-- absoluteAltitude [AA]  slips into Cucali's lap, giving her shoulder a little squeeze as she leans in. She kisses Cucali again, and there's passion behind it, a burning passion which survived the rain of her misfortune. --
-- nitroMerc [NM]  is caught entirely off guard by Paloma's kiss. She didn't expect the girl to have this much bite! Determined not to lose she pushes Paloma down on the sofa, returning the kiss hard and forcefully, as though she's trying to impose her passion and will on the limeblood. --
-- absoluteAltitude [AA]  makes a little sound of surprise as she's pushed down, but it soon turns into a moan of approval against Cucali's lips. She kisses her fiercely in return, but there's no fighting it -- Cucali's the clear winner here, and Paloma loves it. Her kiss turns softer, yielding as she accepts her. --
-- nitroMerc [NM]  doesn't stop. When she hears that moan she knows that she's impressing--no, winning--the mossblood. So she moves her hand down to stroke her side as she opens her lips just a bit, not letting up one bit on her hard kisses. --
-- absoluteAltitude [AA]  lets her, opening her lips in return. She makes another sound against Cucali's lips, some encouraging little murmur as she buries her hand in Cucali's hair. This is what she's always wanted; to be plainly seduced by the seadweller and her power. And it shows. --
-- nitroMerc [NM]  moves down to nibble at her neck, marveling at how /warm/ Paloma is. Her entire life's been centered around cold trolls and cold power (had to be, with her job and status) and it's wonderful to feel something so warm and tender. She curls her fingers, digging them into Paloma's side. --
-- absoluteAltitude [AA]  can't help but let out a whimper when Cucali nips close to her jaw, her breathing shallow. --
AA: <\ Ohhh... Cucali... />
-- nitroMerc's [NM'S]  breathing quickens as she continues to nibble away, trying to find all her weak spots. --
NM: Ha, y☼u like that, d☼n'tcha?
AA: <\ Mmhmm... />
-- absoluteAltitude [AA]  hums out assent - and then gasps as Cucali hits on a certain spot just under her jaw. --
NM: Stick ar☼und, I g☼t t☼☼☼☼ns m☼re... Im g☼nna figure ☼ut what makes y☼u tick, m☼ssy...
-- nitroMerc [NM]  notices and grins, nibbling at that spot again. --
-- absoluteAltitude [AA]  whimpers out Cucali's name quietly as she feels her gentle teeth. --
-- nitroMerc [NM]  suddenly pushes herself up, her breathing shallow and fast, face flushed as she smirks. --
-- absoluteAltitude [AA]  stays down on the couch for a moment, looking up at Cucali with shallow breath. --
NM: And thaaaaat's h☼w y☼u kiss, m☼ssy.
AA: <\ I... I see... />
AA: <\ That was... I... />
NM: Peeeeerfect?
-- absoluteAltitude [AA]  nods, still blushing. --
-- nitroMerc [NM]  pushes her hair back, still smirking. --
NM: Well, I h☼ped y☼u enj☼yed it while it lasted then!!
AA: <\ I, I did... />
NM: G☼☼d! Because I'm n☼t d☼in' it again f☼r a l☼☼☼☼☼☼☼ng time.
-- absoluteAltitude [AA]  pushes herself up, and scoots closer to Cucali, leaning against her with a happy sigh. --
AA: <\ Regardless, it was nice... />
-- nitroMerc [NM]  slides an arm around Paloma's shoulders, scoffing. --
NM: ☼f c☼urse it was!! It came fr☼m me!
-- absoluteAltitude [AA]  closes her eyes, nestling against Cucali. --
AA: <\ Yeah... />
-- nitroMerc [NM]  relaxes, closing her eye as well. --
-- absoluteAltitude [AA]  nuzzles her face against Cucali's shoulder, resting there. --
AA: <\ ... I really do pity you... />
NM: Yeah, yeah. Save the sappy tirade f☼r later, birdie.
-- absoluteAltitude [AA]  giggles quietly, wrapping her unmaimed arm around Cucali's waist. --
AA: <\ Okay, fishie. />
NM: Fishie?? Hey, that's w☼rse than pufferfish!
-- absoluteAltitude [AA]  smirks a little. It's an odd expression on her face. --
AA: <\ If I'm a birdie, you're a fishie. That's just how it works! />
NM: Heeeeeeeey, that's n☼t fair!
AA: <\ It is so fair! />
NM: Fishie's a laaaaaame nickname!!!
AA: <\ I think it's cute! />
NM: See? There's y☼ur pr☼blem!!!
NM: I'm n☼t cute in aaaaaaaanyway!
-- absoluteAltitude [AA]  looks up at Cucali. --
AA: <\ Are you sure? I think you're really cute! />
-- nitroMerc [NM]  ;/ --
NM: Whaaaaat??
NM: Geez, I've been sendin' ☼ut the wr☼ng message, then!!
NM: I'm everythin' but cute, y☼u hear??
AA: <\ Oh, don't, don't get me wrong! />
AA: <\ You're tough, too, and capable... />
-- absoluteAltitude [AA]  giggles. --
AA: <\ ... but I can see something in that which most trolls couldn't. />
NM: ☼☼☼☼h? And what's that?
AA: <\ That you, you're quite cute really! />
AA: <\ I mean... />
-- absoluteAltitude [AA]  blushes, there. --
AA: <\ ... why, why wouldn't I find you attractive? />
-- nitroMerc [NM]  looks at her like she's crazy. --
NM: Attractive? Yeeeeeah, I can get behind that!
NM: But cute? Seri☼usly?? That's musclebeast crap right there! I ain't cute!
-- absoluteAltitude [AA]  smiles as if sharing a little secret with herself. --
AA: <\ If you say so, fishie. />
NM: Hey, an' st☼p callin' me fishie, birdie!!!
AA: <\ Make me! />
NM: I can just up an' leave whenever I want, I'll let y☼u kn☼w, biiiiirdie!
AA: <\ H, hey! Don't do that! />
-- nitroMerc [NM]  sticks her tongue out. --
NM: Why n☼t??
AA: <\ Because... I'd miss you! />
NM: Well... maybe I w☼n't!
-- absoluteAltitude [AA]  smiles, snuggling into Cucali. --
AA: <\ Good. />
-- nitroMerc [NM]  rolls her eye but lets her. Sheeeeeesh, sappy limebloods! --
AA: <\ You're wonderful, Cucali... />
NM: Yeah, yeah, I've heard it all. D☼n't waste y☼ur breath tryin' t☼ impress me, m☼ssbl☼☼d.
AA: <\ Hee... />
-- absoluteAltitude [AA]  falls silent, smiling to herself. --
-- nitroMerc [NM]  doesn't say anything as she just closes her eye again and smiles. --
-- nitroMerc [NM] gave up trolling absoluteAltitude [AA] at 10:01 --
