A-questing we will go

[thalassino]

Characters: Carol and all of you people
Location: In front of the castle that was once the Station Master's house
Time: Afternoon!
Style: Up to you lovely people!
Status: OPEN; threadjack and spam at will. Carol will be fluttering around reluctantly.

[If any Vatheonite takes the time today to take a look around the castle, they will find a very, very grumpy fairy godmother fluttering around.

Look, it's Carol, in full-costume and fluttering her wings and looking very sour indeed.]

Play along, he says. Grant wishes, he says. Ugh!

[She looks like she might snap that wand, oops. But she's also fluttering next to a crude, poorly done sign that says Quests for heroes!

...Maybe she'll give you a quest if you go talk to her?


---


ooc: let's get some questing going, Vatheonites! No fairy tale is complete without a plot, right? If you have a quest in mind, you're welcome to use this log to play it out and get people in on it; just mark the subject line Title of quest | Location | Open/Closed. If you don't have an idea for a quest or would like to talk to Carol, that's perfectly fine too; just mark those threads with Castle to indicate where your characters are! She'll only be sticking around the castle, so she won't be going on any quests with you guys.]

[Oh. Well, okay. If this is what Gamzee wants, Equius certainly isn't going to complain.]

[He cradles his matesprit against his chest, enjoying the rare and wonderful sensation of holding him, and walks quietly and slowly through the forest. Yeah, unless he trips over the sock bush, he's not going to see it.]

ain't got no icon browse, randoming this up

[420]

[Gamzee leans his arm contently against Equius' shoulder, leaning the top of his head against Equius'. He never gets Equius to hold him like this normally, so he is more than happy to indulge himself in it. His long right ear flicks idly against his skull, sending some of his hair flying into his face.

This was really nice. Did they go to find something? Man. Probably nothing important.]

[stayb100ponyboy]

[It isn't that Equius doesn't want to hold Gamzee all the time! He's been working really hard with Darkleer, and he's getting better, he knows he is, it's just... hard. It's hard, and only Darkleer understands.]

[Equius nickers quietly, and takes a few steps off the path, finding a nice, comfortable tree. He lowers himself to the ground, settling his horse body, and gives Gamzee a little squeeze.]

[The sock bush can wait.]

[420]

[Gamzee burrows contently into his broad chest. He knows Equius doesn't deny him for no reason, but he still enjoys moments and curses like this where they can just get their cuddle on. Tipping his head, he rubs his fine-furred snout underneath Equius' chin with a content soft bleat.]

[stayb100ponyboy]

[Equius chuckles a little, and it sounds like the contented whickerings of a happy horse.]

Your fur is ticklish.

[Not that he really minds! In fact, he bends his own head so he can rub his nose against Gamzee's snout.]

[420]

[Gamzee laughs, rubbing his snout back against Equius' nose. It is kind of weird like this. He's still not really used to his face being like this and the way it makes it much harder to line up his and Equius' mouths.

Ain't gonna keep him from trying though.

Tossing his arms around his neck, he presses a little closer, before pressing a quick kiss to Equius' mouth.]

[stayb100ponyboy]

[Yeah, it takes a little more work like this, but it's totally worth it.]

[Equius tilts his head, making sure his mouth is lined up properly with Gamzee's snout, and kisses him back. He smiles as tickly little goat whiskers brush his lips, and brings up one hand to cradle the side of Gamzee's face.]

[Were they looking for something? He can't remember.]

[420]

[Something like shoes, which is silly cause neither of them wears shoes!

When Equius cups the side of his face, Gamzee can't help the smile that blossoms on his face, leaning over to rub his cheek into the touch. his hands are giant against his face. Hard to imagine he will really be this huge one day. But then again, that other curse showed him he was gonna be plenty big enough to match.

Still feels kind of unreal though.]

[stayb100ponyboy]

[It's a real shame they couldn't both be adults at the same time. Then again, considering how Equius was feeling that week, it's probably good that they weren't. He still remembers how small and safe and warm he felt under Gamzee's care, and that more than anything helped repair their relationship after he got sent back to the Veil.]

[He shifts his hand, moving it so he can cradle the back of Gamzee's head, and shyly rubs the side of his thumb against his horn. That feels good on trolls... maybe it feels good to goats too?]

[420]

[A true miracle considering Gamzee's care was hardly expert.

When Equius runs the side of his thumb over his horn, Gamzee's ears both flick, his eyes sliding shut and he breathes out on a soft, pleased... bleat? Yeah that was a bleat. Hope you are okay with that, Equius.]

[stayb100ponyboy]

[In this case, it really was the thought that counted.]

[Equius is more than okay with a bleat, as long as Gamzee is okay with the pleased rumbling and chuffing that Equius makes in response. Knowing he might not get another chance like this for awhile, he raises his other hand and lightly circles his fingers around Gamzee's horns, rubbing their bases between thumb and forefinger while enjoying a few more whiskery kisses.]

[420]

[Gamzee keeps peppering his mouth with whiskery goat kisses, shivering a little as Equius strokes his horns and then suddenly tongue.

That is to say, not suddenly tongue as in those kind of deeply sexy --well, to them-- kisses they normally share, the kind that Gamzee could indulge in forever. No, it is just tongue as in here have a wet slobbery goat tongue pressing against your mouth. Gamzee had meant to try and make it into a sexy kiss, but apparently kissing with a snout was far harder than previously anticipated.]

Bluh

1/2

[stayb100ponyboy]

[Equius pulls back, his expression confused and surprised...]

2/2

[stayb100ponyboy]

[Then he starts laughing, sounding more like a horse's whinny than his usual deep, self-conscious rumbles.]

Snouts are a little harder to control, aren't they?

[He moves his arms, trying to rearrange his grip on Gamzee and drop him down in a dip, like they had just been dancing. He doesn't know where that idea came from, but it certainly seems like a good one!]

[420]

[Gamzee laughs when Equius drips him backward, his curls bouncing away from his face. Automatically, he hooks his legs around Equius' waist, resting them on top of his horse back to give himself some more support, squeezing his arms around his neck.]

Fuckin' snouts, man. How the fuck do they work?

[stayb100ponyboy]

Miracles, probably.

[Again, acting on impulse... Equius starts kissing Gamzee's neck, peppering the fuzzy skin with soft, gentle kisses, slowly working his way down to his collarbones.]

[420]

[Gamzee can't help but keep laughing. Having Equius kiss his fur, especially where it gets thick, feels just oddly ticklish. Reaching up, he runs his fingers through this long hair, the motion feeling so odd without Equius' horns.]

[stayb100ponyboy]

[Equius misses his horns, true, but it's worth their loss to have goat belly to play with.]

[Mischeviously, he ducks his head further down, right on Gamzee's soft belly... and blows on it, making a very rude sound.]

[420]

[Oh no, his vulnerable underbelly is under direct assault!

Laughing, he tries to squirm away, pushing at Equius' head a little. Meeting him after Darkleer had taken him in had definitely been one of the best experiences of his life.

At least, he is pretty sure that was how the story went.]

[stayb100ponyboy]

[Equius remembers that! It had just been he and Darkleer for the longest time, until they'd found a young goatchild waiting at the edges of the meadow for a father who never came back. Much to his own disgust, Darkleer had insisted on adopting the abandoned kid... which had, of course, turned out to be the best thing in Equius' life.]

[Although sometimes he wonders why he gets such a kick out of being able to touch Gamzee. It's not like he couldn't do it before... right?]

[Whatever. Time for another belly assault!]

[420]

[It is true that Equius had been a bunch bigger and bulkier even as a kid and there had been the occasional bruises. But hey, that is normal when you are a centaur. Certainly no never touching ever stuff. Which makes it extra silly that Gamzee is soaking up these touches as if he never gets them. Even if he is also trying to squirm away cause, whoops, ticklish.

His hooves kick --harmlessly-- at Equius' back, utterly inelegant honk-snort-bleats escaping him.]

[stayb100ponyboy]

[And why does something twitch in the back of Equius' mind, lazily turning over, at the sound of that honking? Honking shouldn't bother him, it's just the sound Gamzee has always made, it's not like it has some awful connotation for him.]

[Laughing, Equius stops his belly assault and lets Gamzee squirm away, stretching his legs out and falling over onto his side. It's nice here, in the quiet shade of the woods, and he smiles at the faun beside him.]

What were we looking for, again?

[420]

[Gamzee crawls over to Equius' belly, patting it, before he turns over, making himself comfortable against it.]

hmmm nothing. Can't fuckin' think of nothing.

is Gamzee leaning on his human belly or his horse belly?

[stayb100ponyboy]

[Equius puts a companionable hand on Gamzee's shoulder.]

Yes, me neither. Must not have been very important then.

horse belly! it is the biggest and bestest belly.

[420]

[Gamzee hums contently, closing his eyes. His long ears sway a little, before the droop, utterly at peace exactly where he is. Bush? They were looking for one? Nah. There were here to cuddle and make out.]
