He nodded in agreement when she mentioned there being a lot of lying men, he knew that all too well having to constantly deal with lying men in piracy. He sipped his coffee as he looked at her, "I must ask, how do you feel about the LG...B...T people," he slowed down as he used the acronym, struggling to remember the letters for a moment. He knew it was a strange and often loaded question, but he needed to know.

“There’s a lot of lying from men in my world, especially. So, I appreciate you putting my mind at ease as much as you have,” Tiffany said, flashing him a smile. She hadn’t known who he was at the time, but it was good to know that it was someone that had the kind of reputation that he did. A little different but, ultimately, a very decent person. “I am glad that we met as well.”

This wasn't the behaviour she was used to from men, it was strange but welcome, assuming it was genuine of course and she hoped it was, she was sick of the men she'd been around her whole life, but something about this guy was reminding her about her late father.

She knew she would likely get sick from being out in the rain for as long as it would take for her to walk the handful of miles to the trailer park, and more importantly her baby could get sick. "I'm still considering it, but...do you know where Eddie is?" She was barely two months out of having gave birth when everything happened, "is he okay?"

Steve listened to her introduce herself and her little one, smiling softly. "It's nice to meet you both. Yeah, Eddie and I are friends. He's a great guy. Shame about all the stuff he's having to deal with right now..." Steve replied, frowning a little at the thought of him still hiding out and having to lay low. Hopefully all of this would be straightened out soon so he could relax a little and not have to worry about being attacked by the town or worse. "Sorry if I came off a little forward with the car offer. I just hate the thought of people being out in weather like this. Especially when you have a little one to take care of too. I completely understand if you don't feel comfortable. If you end up needing to stay past my shift time and don't want the ride, I can tell Robin to let you stay when she gets in. She starts her shift right after mine ends." He offered, having noticed the hesitance on his offer. The last thing he wanted to do was scare her.

PSA - Accessibility in RP

I feel like many of you forget that both colour-blind and dyslexic people exist.

If you use a colour such as yellow, light green/blue or neon colours for your text, please be aware that those of us who are colour-blind may not be able to read it on the white post background.

And the placing of images mid-text (rather than at the end or top of the post) as well as different sizes of text, different fonts, using excessive editing such as bold and italics throughout the post can make it very difficult for those of us with dyslexia. Another issue is when people never use capital letters, it makes reading the text far more difficult especially combined with the small text.

Please remember that people being able to actually read your replies accurately is more important than an aesthetic.

Obviously I don’t speak for all colour-blind and dyslexic folk, but it’s something that causes difficulties for me and I know it’s an issue for others I’ve talked with.

"Thank you," she said as she watched him, moving over closer to the counter before he put his jacket over her, being so short she felt swallowed up by it, it was a funny look.

Ala began unclipping the skates from the bottom of her sneakers as he offered her a ride, there was a hesitance, "um...maybe," it was fair for her to be anxious even if she hadn't been through what she had been. She set the now dethatched skates under the buggy and checked on her sleeping baby.

"You're friends with Eddie, right? I saw you sneaking around the trailer park with his friends," she remembered spotting them from the window of her trailer when she was making food when Eddie was being hunted. She knew he didn't hurt that girl, he would never hurt anyone, but if this boy was his friend then maybe she could trust him? Of course that didn't mean she would let her guard down. "Oh and I'm Ala, this is Theodora."

There was something that seemed familiar about the woman who walked in. Oh yeah, this was the one that Eddie was always helping out. It looked like she was soaked to the bone, Steve's caretaker instincts immediately kicking in as he looked the pair over. He was never one to turn those down who were in need, so his response was an immediate nod. Turning around for a moment, he grabbed his jacket that he'd brought with him and walked it over to her. With ease, he draped it over her shoulders. "Here...I'd offer you a towel but we don't have any here in the store. You're welcome to stay as long as you need. My shift ends in around fifteen minutes so I could give you two a ride?"

Ala was exhausted, things were more difficult without her neighbour around, Wayne was doing his best to help the young mother out but she hadn’t realised how much she’d relied on Eddie to help out, and now it was raining hard.

She ducked into the video store, at just over five feet tall she was swallowed up by the oversized frog hoodie she wore, pushing a pram with a, thankfully sleeping, baby in. Making her way over to the counter, she looked up at the young man that worked there, “um, hi, is it okay if I wait the rain out in here?” She asked as she pushed wet hair out of her eyes, her right eye having barely any pigment in, she had a pair of skates on her feet. "I can take the skates off," she offered in hopes he'd allow her to wait inside.

Munday!

Adjusting her grip to ensure she was holding tightly, Maia nodded, "I'm ready," she confirmed, still feeling nervous but it was exciting,, she was getting to experience things like, well, humans.

"I promise, they're a lot of fun," Saskia smiled as she took a few steps back away from the swing to allow Maia to swing pretty high, if she wanted to, of course. It was kind of sweet, that she'd never been on a swing before and thus, intrusted Saskia to teach her. "Pinky swear, I won't push you off. You ready?"

[ragewithinthestorm]

He nodded in agreement, his father was a great landscaper, he was where he'd learned it all from after all. "Thanks," he responded with a grin, clearly enjoying the compliment, it had been so long since anyone had given him a genuine compliment or even just, said something nice to him. "Bricriu, I'd offer to shake your hand but," he held up his dirt covered hands, "would be rude to dirty you up...wait...that didn't sound right," he couldn't help but chuckle at his choice of words, though internally he scolded himself for saying something that could be taken as rude.

"They did a good job maintaining it while you were gone." Vi nodded, with an approving downward smile. She leaned on the fence separating them to peer down to any part of the soil she couldn't see immediately, scanning over. "And you definitely have an eye for this. Obviously." She rolled her eyes at herself and snorted - way to point out the obvious, Vi. "I'm Viola. What's your name?"

"Guess we have to agree to disagree on that," he responded with a small chuckle regarding her being freaked out by hairless cats. "Poor little guy, maybe I could come meet him one day..." he mentioned a little quietly, not wanting to be seen as though he was trying to get an invitation to her home, granted she was currently inside his so...

"I think there's a photo on the fireplace of him," he thought out loud as he led her through to the living room, "ah yep, there he is," he gestured towards a photo, though his smile had slipped, the photo was of his parents, him and his little sister who was holding the obese Scottish fold in her arms.

"I love cats too!" Saskia smiled. "Your cat sounds adorable," she thought he looked adorable too when mimicking the cat but she didn't say it, she figured it was far too early for compliments. "You'll hate me because they freak me out too," she laughed as she stepped inside the house. "My cat was a stray I found in my apartment building, he's missing an eye but he's the sweetest little thing, he's a little tabby."

"I know some men lie to trick women, so I wanted to show I am who I claim," he said with a smile as he set his phone screen-down on the table. "I give full creative freedom to you, but we can discuss work later, yes?" He said, realising he'd turned this little impromptu coffee date into a business meeting unintentionally. "I am glad we crossed paths."

”I hate to say it, but I’d say Eastern European is probably where I’m weakest in terms of culinary knowledge,” Tiffany admitted. Everywhere had good food, that was something that had been drilled into her head while in culinary school. She was on her way to trying everything that she could, but Russian wasn’t a delicacy that she could often find in the areas of Chicago she tended to spend time. “I appreciate the proof that you are who you say you are,” she said, and she chose not to say anything about the robotic arm on his daughter. There was no way that wouldn’t rise up some traumatic memories, no matter what had happened to her.

Samuel had taken an instant liking to Steve and had been elated when the other reciprocated his actions, one thing had led to another and now they were in Steve's bed. He was thankful the other had admitted when things first began to escalate that he hadn't been with a guy like this before, so Sam was able to make sure to make it memorable in the best way. He had spent far longer on prepping the younger male than any of his own past partners had done with him, and he was more than happy to spend as much time with that body as he could, though he had noticed the scars, he knew some weird stuff happened in Hawkins but hadn't expected Steve to have been involved.

The framboy moaned into the side of Steve's neck as he did his best to keep the pace and angle that was drawing those delicious notes from the others vocal chords. Deciding to take a risk he bit the other's neck playfully, he wasn't sure how much longer he'd last but he hoped it would be a while yet.

@ragewithinthestorm asked

"That noise...keep making it." For Steve from Samuel if that's okay

Steve laid naked on his back, his eyes closed as he moaned away from the pleasure that he was receiving from the male. He felt so weak, so lost of control in his presents. He hadn't been with a male before, he wasn't sure what to expect when he cried out once more.

"Don't stop, fuck please don't stop."

"And you're definitely in my top 10 at least," she said with a small chuckle as she pushed pink hair behind her ear, it felt nice to feel appreciated, to feel seen for something other than her body. As much as she may attempt to hide it from Eddie, he was one of the only people that made her truly feel positive emotions.

"I need to get back to Teddy, I'll bring her over when I'm getting ready to leave for work," she said happily before heading out of the trailer, leaving Eddie with the cookies.

That evening she was at Eddie's door with Teddy, after making sure her daughter had everything she needed and had set her down on a playmat in front of the couch, she smiled up at Eddie, "seriously thanks for helping, you're a life saver." There was a slight hesitation before she went up on her toes, lightly pulling Eddie down by his shoulders and placing a kiss on his cheek before hurrying off to work, leaving a lipstick mark over the scar on his face. She hadn't done any such physical affection with someone willingly, but Eddie made her feel safe to do so with him.

Eddie nodded. He gave her a reassuring smile. "Yeah. It sucks but, I can deal with it. I have pain killers, I have other things that I can use to take the pain away." He mentioned. Yes, he did smoke weed sometimes to try and ease the pain.

"Me and Teddy are like best friends." He chuckled and took the bag. "And you are my favourite person." He told her as he looked in the bag at the cookies. "These look incredible!" He told her and smiled softly. "As do most of your bakes."

// So there's yet another thing in the way of replies, I fell today and punctured my hand with a knitting needle, thankfully no serious damage but it means my hands are less usable for a few days and I can't wear my compression gloves leaving my hands completely useless. I'll still be working on replies but things will be extra slow while my hand heals. Thank you for being patient with me I'm so sorry about all of this. I'm still available to chat with about plotting and stuff.

[ragewithinthestorm]

if you ever wanna ship with me just come to my ask and be like “listen dick face we bout to fuck shit up with a ship ok.”

Ala nodded, brown hair slipping forward onto her face, "yeah just...one moment," she closed the door once again, making sure her dress looked good and fixed her hair in the mirror, making sure her lack of corset wasn't noticeable before finally opening the door and stepping out.

She hesitated at first but held her arm out for her soon-to-be-husband to take and lead her to dinner, not only because she understood appearances were important and having him lead her would look good for any onlookers, but also because, "if you haven't noticed, I'm blind in one eye," now that it was just the two of them she figured she should use the chance to talk to him, she felt he should know. "So I'll need help to get around until I learn where I'm going, my depth perception is bad," it was also a way of letting him know why she had said the room looked 'good'.

mapplethorpe can't help but simply nod his head, shifting awkwardly on his feet. he can't help but feel like a dog with his tail between his legs as he starts to back down the hallway. "ah, i'll---.....let you know when dinners ready. try to get a good nap in! i swear the blankets are really quite nice! i think my mom made the quilt." he finds himself rambling before he opens the door to his own sleeping quarters, running into the door frame. he'll then give an awkward wave before he backs in and shuts the door behind him.

it had only been an hour or two until he heard a familiar knock on his door. his head turns to the sound, a heavy sigh leaving him. he had been laying on his bed, staring at the canopy overhead as he thought about how upset ala had seemed with him. maybe she was just tired? maybe she hated him? yeah, she probably hated him.

he'll make his way to her door, feet dragging as he knocks on it. once she pokes her head out, he'll simply nod his head. "yup. it's dinner time. you ready?" he can't help but look to the side, avoiding eye contact.

Scarlet didn't understand how or why, but she always seemed to sense when someone was near death, ever since the incident she'd just, had this feeling. So when this blonde boy showed up one day it felt like an alarm was ringing every time she saw him, each time their paths had crossed the feeling was stronger all the way until the moments that had just transpired, it had felt as though someone was screaming in her brain to intervene and so she had. What was all the more interesting was how it went silent when she shot her pistol, the feeling was, for now at least, gone, did that mean the boy was safe? She wasn't taking chances.

He did seem genuinely grateful at least, most men she'd come across would feel shame and humiliation at having had a woman step up like that. Once they were outside she gave him a smile, "let's hope you're right, just don't go pissin' off the sheriff's men again, they like any excuse to gun a man down, 'specially if you're an outsider," she warned as she brought her hat up to sit on her head, returning her pistol to its holster.

He was pretty cute, she didn't see many blondes, most people in her town had dark hair, her own hair along with her dark eyes caused her to stand out even if you ignored her clothing choices as her trousers showed under her dress. "You got yourself a place? The job comes with lodgin's if you need it," she had a feeling he was a drifter, her father owned most of the residentials in town and she hadn't heard anything about a new tenant.

mapplethorpe thought that this was the end of the line for him. so what that he had a little bit of a gambling problem? especially after he's had a few ales. granted, he always tried to move from town to town. escaping all his depts. though, he was running out of money and that wasn't good for traveling. he needed some coin in order to skip town. though, it seemed his luck at ran out. blue eyes focused, crossing at the stared down the barrel of the pistol that was pointed right at his face. his mouth fell open to speak, but nothing came out.

he'll jump whenever the bullet hits the ground by thomson's foot. he looks at the fresh bullet hole in the wood before he lifts his head up to see his savior. a beautiful redhead in green. he'll blink rapidly, shocked into a rare silence. usually, he didn't know how to shut the fuck up.

"stablehand? ah, yeah! i'm here new stablehand!" he says this rather proudly, thumbs hooking on his suspenders as he quickly regained his composure. he was forever grateful that she paid off her debt but couldn't help but wonder how she had the coin for it. he'll follow after her, waving goodbye to the bar patrons who seemed to look at him with a look of pity.

"thanks for doin' that back there, miss. takin' a chance on little ole' me. you wont regret it!"
