[councillor-roland]

Ah, heat week. Roland quite enjoyed the occurrence twice a year at Krovs undoubtedly because he didn't have to go through it himself. His libido was high enough as it was, he didn't need it amped up anymore. There was a certain frenzy in the air during the week and people got up to even more debauchery than usual. That suited Roland just fine. Things with Rhys were still moving at a rather glacial pace but even if they'd returned to how things had been during the summer Roland would still have been taking advantage of the week. The slaves, especially, were in quite a state and the Undercroft wreaked of sex and pheromones. There wasn't much messing around or pretending at resistance when a slave was in heat, they just needed and wanted so desperately and Roland was happy to oblige.

He found himself looking for a likely candidate and his gaze fell on...what was his name, Roman? That was it, the one Rhys had begged him not to condemn since he'd been wrong about him during that trial. The vote still hadn't gone the right way but Roland had tried, not that the slave knew anything about that. Still, Roland could tell the familiar was in heat and strode over to him. "Hello. You look like you could use some relief. Perhaps I could be of assistance?" His eyebrows arched and his eyes glittered. It was a slight tease because they both knew Roland definitely could be of assistance but the vampire couldn't seem to help poking the wound just a little.

"Nothing quite compares to the parties back in the States, but trust me when I say they still know how to have fun here," Willow pulled along her best friend deeper into The Three Broomsticks with a grin. "Let's get started on some drinks, yeah? I feel like you won't protest much on that suggestion."

9, 13, 28-34 for romanman!

hell... YES more of this guy

9. Do they give tough love or gentle love most often? Which do they prefer to receive?

Roman 95% of the time uses gentle love and prefers to have it about 90% of the time! It may not get meaningful results as quickly sometimes but he tries to lead with compliments and add suggestions until it's necessary to have a slightly firmer hand (and even then he's as kind and compromising as he can manage to be). He's only really prone to put his foot down sharply in highly stressful situations that he really feels he has THE answer to.

13. When do they fake a smile? How often?

I don't think I'd count it as faking a smile when he greets people he's nervous to meet so much as just putting one on (which he does almost every time he meets new people.) He fakes a smile in response to Vulture bringing in strange spiders from the woods and when he's trying to be polite about topics he's not interested in but that others obviously are - it's not nearly as often as he genuinely smiles, at least.

28. What do they tell people they want? What do they actually want?

He wants the thrill of adventure and to explore the world! (And Friends)

And he really wants friends who share his interests in magic more than anything, and is a little worried at the fact that he wants to Do Heroics while also really really wanting to wake up next to Vince in his tower in Roanroot every day and just have a chill one more often than not.

29. How do they respond when someone doesn’t believe them?

Stubbornly... Roman will argue until he visibly annoys someone it he's really bend on getting someone to believe him. If it's lower stakes he'll shrug and tell them to suit themselves (and still argue it to himself for a good bit internally pff)

30. When they make a mistake and feel bad, does the guilt differ when it’s personal versus when it’s professional?

hhoo there's not much difference at this exact moment because he has not that much experience with professional teamwork. If he makes a mistake with a potion in Roanroot he'll feel bad about it internally much more than externally, and will just seek to right that wrong to whoever bought the potion immediately (and free of cost). As far as the adventuring party does, he's treating mistakes/conflict as something he's done wrong Personally 90% of the time and it much more visibly upset about it, though he still tries to fix it (or is stubborn about trying to get someone to see something from his perspective).

31. When do they feel the most guilt? How do they respond to it?

The most guilt he feels is when he makes Vince sad/mad/disappointed or worried about him/what he's doing. Historically he's gone from immediately folding and moving as far from the guilt-causing thing as he could to still feeling bad but trying to talk about/through it to having usually very productive conversations after a period of figuring out how to best communicate (and giving space if needed).

Second to that is disappointing/truly upsetting literally anyone else - he's likely to react emotionally and cow to appease a little in the moment, though he IS still pretty decent at trying to communicate and compromise when given a bit to cool off.

32. If they committed one petty crime / misdemeanor, what would it be? Why?

This is difficult because he generally follows laws pretty decently and the laws he'd break are.... generally very large and in self-defense (murder, arson - evocation wizard). Uhhh he'd park illegally??? But I don't think that's a problem in Dorna. Uhhh he could be convinced into petty theft for what could be argued to be a good cause.

33. How do they greet someone they dislike / hate?

If he had to keep up appearances it's a nod (no smile) and a steady gaze/firm handshake if expected. If he doesn't have to maintain some decency and he actually hates someone then he'd probably sneer a bit (tbh Roman sneering is probably just a frown most of the time) and try to leave the area rather than acknowledge them.

34. How do they greet someone they like / love?

Incredible enthusiasm... a lot of excited waving and big smiles and depending on the person a hug (or a leap into a hug/kiss for Vince). Roman has a very visible sliding scale of excitement in greetings pff

[georgie-abhrams]

WHO: @romanwagncr WHERE: Bell's Market

Georgie was on the hunt for a dessert she'd seen in a movie one day and had been obsessed with ever since. It'd been the one thing that, even as a child, she'd been able to make- mostly because it only consisted of a cup of jell-o and whipped cream from a can. It'd been a comfort food for her all these years and after everything that'd been going on in her life lately she could use some comfort. However, she'd gotten distracted in the cookies aisle (they had to stop releasing new flavors of Oreos) and now had her arms full of things she hadn't come to the store for and still hadn't gotten the jell-o and whipped cream she'd been craving.

So as she headed towards the refrigerated aisle while balancing the packs of cookies and chips in her arms, Georgie wasn't paying enough attention to her surroundings and came into contact with something sturdy. Something unmoving. No, not something... someone.

"Well, well, well. If it isn't daddy." She grinned, getting her bearings about her once she'd taken a step back to see who she'd run in to. An apology was stuck on the tip of her tongue before she'd realized it was Roman, and now a smirk colored her features and the cookies she'd dropped when they collided remained momentarily forgotten on the floor around them. "Where have you been hiding? Pulling your superman duties or somethin'? Or just hidin' from little ol' me?" She teased.

[nevadaxsaunders]

Hey daddy, wanna take my coin and then fuck me on the bar in front of everyone? 😉

💖 Roman

He was fucked. It was hearing Roman call him daddy that had Nevada's cock already straining against the fabric of his jeans. Instead of reaching out to take the coin from the dancer, he wrapped his hand around his jaw as he pulled him forward to smash their lips together to kiss him hungrily as he growled playfully. The kiss didn't last long as he suddenly turned Roman around, pressing him up against the bar. His hand now wrapped around his throat, pulling Ro back into him as his lips feather over the back of his ear. "You think your ass knows the shape of my cock, by now?" He muttered, pressing against Roman's ass. "If I fuck you here are you going to scream my name like a good little slut."

@longiings​ liked for a starter from this

he felt like he was on the verge of losing his mind. it had been ages since he had felt a woman’s touch. let alone someone like her and he was shocked that she wanted anything to do with him. he was doing his best to be patient, his grip on her waist near bruising,” just like that love,” he whispered, noticing how her face was flushing,” you’re doing so good for me, just keep going.” he wanted her to know she was safe with him and that she could take her time,” so fucking beautiful.”

"Roman, this is the definition of poor lil meow meow."

Rhys exhales as the other team makes another one into the basket, his gaze shifting to look over at Roman. "How the fuck are they doing that?" He grumbles. "I know this shit is supposed to be fun and games but I swear to God they are cheating somehow."

"Here you go, as promised," Elise said as she handed over a stack of ration cards to Roman, payment for some wares he'd brought to Peyton. Deals like this were the only reason she ever came to the abandoned KFC/Taco Bell/Pizza Hut, just the state of it made her want to shower. "See anything juicy while you were helping yourself to stuff lately?"

[willcwpicquery]

"And what is this?" Willow pried curiously, reaching to pluck the item from Roman's grasp. It was a sudden gesture, but not too brusque that it could be considered rude either. "Is this something you've been working on, Ro?"

wake up ROMAN it's time for ROUND TWO 35, 40, 45, 54-57

HWUH GOOD MORNING - it's afternoon where I am rn pff

35. What is the smallest, morally questionable choice they’ve made?

To him it honestly might have been Thinking About kissing John before asking Vince if that was okay, but since that was just thoughts and wasn't an actual action he took I think it's the mild manipulation of casting sending to Blu to get him back in the adventuring group and saying that Baster needed him.

Potentially trying to go adventuring while having a family for the sake of friends far moreso than money is also morally questionable but that feels bigger.

40. How do they respond to a loose handshake? What goes through their head?

<:/ as an emotion and the thought of "man that was disappointing. Hope they're feeling alright/not a hater"

45. What’s something unimportant / frivolous that they hate passionately?

Sports team drama and patriotism... it's loud and annoying and causes problems!!! Not to mention how many people he knew went to the ER because of after-game shenanigans.

54. What’s their instinct in a fight / flight / freeze / fawn situation?

Roman fluctuates between fight and fawn almost exclusively, with more fawn probability the more he likes you and/or is trying to make a good impression.

55. What’s something they’re expected to enjoy based on their hobbies / profession that they actually dislike / hate?

😔😔😔😔war..................... He really isn't a fan of it despite the degree in War Magic and his propensity for exploding things and fighting with Deadly Spells. Hobby-wise, Roman also hasn't historically been a fan of accessorizing his wizard robes (mainly bc he grew up shy of his appearance and didn't feel the need to be too flashy given where he lives! This was probably already in the process of changing before he decided to go adventuring bc his husband started to jazz him up.)

56. If they’re scared, who do they want comfort from? Does this answer change depending on the type of fear?

In most cases he wants comfort from Vince bc Vince is the person who makes him feel the most safe 99% of the time. There's once and a while where he wishes he lived closer to his parents because that's a different sort of comfort (less effective usually, though), and when he's not got Vince around he'll want to talk to a friend about it, but if he feels like he'll be ridiculed then he'll keep it to himself and Stew in it.

57. What’s a simple daily activity / motion that they mess up often?

Running and writing neatly... he has poor running technique (and doesn't!!! want to learn a better one), and unless he's really focusing in his handwriting's pretty messy. Roman might be a bit clumsy as well, all things considered (he likely needs glasses)

58. How many hobbies have they attempted to have over their lifetime? Is there a common theme?

He's approaching 40 years old so he's tried quite a few things, though I don't know if Roman would count most of them as 'hobbies' just because they've been so sparing - mainly things like foraging, boating, a few strength-type exercises while in Tzeraz, and other outdoorsy stuff that he's enjoyed but not really continued to do. Adventuring could also be considered a hobby of his since he's done that on and off throughout his life! A lot of them are more 'exciting' than what he views as his regular everyday life stuff (though within that there's baking/cooking, alchemy, and spell writing/editing as hobbies), and many of them have to do with a Tzeraz-style understanding of Survival Skills (which he never got good at).

[merlerappaport]

"I don't even need to ask because I just know you've been going around asking people to rub your lamp all evening," Merle made a quick remark as she saw Roman's costume out of the corner of her eye. "Anyone got their wishes yet?" she asked.

[masoncrossx]

“What—what is that?” Mason motioned with his finger to his own face in reference to Roman’s. “You’re lookin’ like someone pissed in your cheerios.” He jested, holding out one of the drinks for him to take as he took a sip of the other he held. He had jumped around the place enough that he was ready to call it a night honestly, despite it not even having hit midnight yet but he figured it was good enough, right? He came, he celebrated and nothing seemed to be hitting the fan, not yet anyway. “Any chance you’ve got the keys to your place on you? I could go for so much shit right now, nah,” he quickly waved off the idea. “Probably not a good thing, i’d empty that place out.” @romanmcnulty​
