A good person, huh? He wouldn't laughed, if he wasn't aware and considerate enough of how sensetive a moment this was. For Shivan, and for him. He smirked, but that was as far as it went, as the smirk simmered down as he looked between them. He'd already been half exposed with his scars, but given the others exposure, and their long history, he saw no reason not to even things out. He let his top fall as well, looking over the memories marking his body.

Tattoos from another life, marking his actions and his 'successes'. Scars marking his successes and his survival and endurance. At least, that's how he saw it. Doesn't always leave confidence brimming, which was only part of the reason he liked to adjust his uniform to accent the parts of his body he did know, with confidence, looked appealing without putting the worst of it on display.

"Dunno about good person, sweet heart," he remarked softly, weak amusement in his voice, though he spoke the pet name he'd had for Shivan with more respect, "but it is what it is. It's reminders for me, too. All of it, marking my body. Most I can be proud of, others I just wear with the necessary shame. That's how it is. That's the life. As for one that didn't deserve so may?" he inclined his head.

His gaze flitted over Shivan, but it didn't linger. He knew enough about his history with Corneo, but unless absolutely necessary for any mission, he'd never pried anything out of him he wasn't willing to give, and he wouldn't start now.

Still...

"You're damn strong, ya know that, right? Stronger than most people I meet, and ya know that's saying something." he told him. His gaze flitted to Shivan's neck then, and he sighed. "Damn bastard. I'll celebrate the day we bring back firing squads for that fat fuck."

He looked over some of his cuts, none deep enough to leave major scars, but enough to have lingered still. He ran a hand over a particularly long one over his bicep, and laughed. "Stupid SOLDIERs went AWOL when I got this one."

Wall Market, Sector 6 ... late evening ...

How the bloody hell did this become her job? Thera slowed to a stop at a traffic light, glancing at the GPS to check her directions. Given her own time to visit Wall Market she might have enjoyed the trip - who didn't like a bit of shopping and decent food, after all? But unfortunately tonight she was here with a task in mind.

She pulled the sleek, glossy-black car into a spot outside the Honeybee Inn and climbed out, taking a careful look around as she locked it up, old habits dying hard. The vehicle was Shinra-issue, but bore no marks to suggest so; for discretion, perhaps, or simply to lower the temptation for someone to trash the thing while she was inside.

Eyes followed her as she climbed the steps, a mix of locals not recognising her and Honeybee clients wondering if she was a new employee. That same question lit the gaze of the Bees gathered in the foyer, curiosity and suspicion, but they wouldn't need to worry for long.

"Hi," Thera fronted up to the reception desk with a wry sort of smile, "I'm here to collect Director Palmer? That is," Lips tugged a little more from the joke, "if he's able to walk again just yet?"

Nightlife in Wall Market

Shivan + Vincent Valentine (Turk) AU

Roleplay Starter for @escortingsecrets

Life in Midgar had its challenges. Both those living above and below the plate would occasion to seek entertainment to forget the stresses of the day; and often times, it would lead them to the most popular adult-themed location in Midgar-- Wall Market. After the children were tucked in their beds for the evening, the adults would sneak out for the evening to enjoy their own recreational time. Even if the place was known for having illegal products and activities, Shinra didn't seem to care and allowed it to run its course. Coincidentally, crime had become quite common, much of them originating from Wall Market. This prompted the need for Shinra to send out Turks to ensure order was maintained. One such Turk tasked with the job was a young man with crimson eyes and raven hair. As was typical of a Turk, Vincent had a stern countenance. His suit was always sharp as was the glare in his eyes. Often the mere sight of a Turk would cause the locals to hide away in the shadows, fearing they were the ones the stealthy Turks were after. This time, Vincent had been tasked to investigate the cause behind several civilians that had gone missing. It was Vincent's first time in Wall Market. Neon lights flicked above the signs of various vendors; those standing at the front and waiving in customers could be seen lining a few of the corner streets. Gossip was prevalent, yet it was here in the dark allies that Vincent chose to begin his investigation. He knew stealth was mandatory if he wanted to avoid alerting the perpetrator. He would likely have to blend in. Approaching one of the vendors who appeared to be an escort, Vincent inquired if he knew of any private quarters to stay for the evening. "Pardon me," The young Turk asked, his voice eloquent and lowered. "You wouldn't happen to know of any private quarters available for the evening, would you? Unfortunately I must forgo the inn."

"Wait... is that Rufus Shinra??"

It was typically common courtesy to respect the privacy of other patrons at the Honeybee Inn. What happens at Honeybee, stays at Honeybee. But when the recently-appointed ruler of the world shows up... well, it's hard to ignore. Even if his father was also a regular there.

Rufus had kept his cool, silently wondering if his father had gotten the incessant gawking every time he walked through those doors. But he kept his head held high, and before he knew it, Rufus Shinra, king of the world, was in a private room awaiting his assigned Honeybee.

The host had sat him down, asking all sorts of questions about his tastes and what sort of Honeybee he wanted. Judging by the amount of time he'd been waiting since then, he imagined the staff were frantically trying to find the perfect one for him, the highest of VIPs.

It was a fairly open secret that the great President Shinra inhabited this place fairly often. In truth, Rufus found it extremely distasteful, and he hated how public it all felt. Any peon with a camera could make his presence there global news in a matter of seconds. Rufus silently started to wonder if this might have been a bad idea. Too late now to take it back.

The door started to open, no doubt his Honeybee entering the room. Rufus rose to his feet, ready to shake their hand in greeting. "I'd say 'fashionably late', but the slutty bee look is more tacky than fashionable," he said with a smirk.

@escortingsecrets continued from "Yeah, well, you haven't seem me give a lecture yet on safety and you just might if i run into your director." Shivan threatened, hazel eyes not noticing the eye roll they gave, or how tired they looked as he finished cleaning up. "This does look like it needs a stitch or two." He was queasy- but he was determined to finish what he started. Blood always made him blanch, and this was no different as he pushed the cloth away. "Or... Will it?" Vegas could heal themselves relatively easy, Shivan knew that. But they also had never flinched like this.

"it doesn't matter that much." vegas responds with a sigh. they close their eyes and start to slouch JUST slightly. clearly it did, vegas' own wellbeing was to some level, at risk. were they being run into the ground? they didn't think so, this is what they deserved, right? they had to do this, they had to work harder--

vegas glances at the injury, assessing it to the best of their ability. truth be told, it probably did need stitches. just because vegas could heal fast didn't mean they didn't need help, but maybe... "butterfly bandage? liquid skin?"

"Hm. It might be."

"Maybe start with dinner first," he suggested. "Then we'll see how serious I am."

Yachting selling , of people

Since breaking out of the matrix slowly, since 2014, I have noticed the sinister undertones and also while listening to certain podcasts and certain blogs, I realise that a lot of these actresses, models, singers, and many others in Hollywood , move them into a certain place in Hollywood, when new stars come to live, I can’t remember the name of the place but it’s like an apartment block.

In fact, what made me want to write this?, My favourite model Bobbie Jean brown.and find in out she was actually with rob Pilatus, of Milli Vanilli , and I thought was a odd pairing , but it’s were they all meet , and do modelling , sadly rob died in 98 , I can’t remember what Bobbie said of him ,but they both are almost one hit wonders , which are the people , I having more respect ✊ for, as they don’t seem to sell their soul?

Anyway, said entertainment Entertainer, comes here to get a life of glitz and glamour, only to hear about stuff like yacht, and escorting, and you see it for what it really is the picture, or Photoshop?, Being very sexually provocative., or having or having the ,undertones of it, and you see it there bared for all.

Massive example is, Sydney Sweeney she seems to be that girl, the girl that is just a sex object kind of like what they did with Kate Upton, but didn’t make it she’s just a girl with a massive pair of tits that fodder and wank over , i’m not a lot more , which is very unfortunate for her because since being in euphoria that’s all she seems to have her focus on , sadly a lot of actresses have had this , Marilyn Monroe being one they didn’t take seriously , obviously I don’t put her in the same class as Marilyn because nobody is .

If anybody else has noticed this weird pattern , if they’re not in the matrix of everything just looking like people for sale .

@escortingsecrets liked for an idiot -- except, i cannot keep my promises and there is a reason storms are named after people

the expression on his face can be best described as television static, he's tucked into the corner of the couch, knees to his chest. at least his posture is better than normal, though is it really saying much, when it somehow seems uncomfortable, even for rufus' standards?

"she spoke to me," and it goes without saying who it is now, "she told me i am dirty and unworthy, and rotting from the inside out."

Welcome [Closed Starter]

It was evening in Radiant Garden.

Work on the electricity in the newer districts had finished for that day. Heartless had become much less of an issue these days, and the streets were relatively safe. Newcomers were not as frequent, which Leon hoped meant that fewer worlds were falling to darkness.

He was on his way home, keys out in his right hand, when a plume of darkness dispersed in his peripheral vision. Turning quickly, he shoved the keys into his pocket and summoned his gunblade to his hands. Falling into a defensive stance by habit, he took in the person who had appeared.

Considering they were crouched, arms wrapped around themselves, eyes wide, Leon would disperse the gunblade. He approaches the stranger somewhat warily and keeps a hand ready to re-summon his weapon.

"Hey..." he says, coming slowly closer.

Making the assumption that this individual had appeared from a dying world, and that was why they looked so fearful, Leon says, "You're safe here."

Leon may have been somewhat unsociable, but he was not heartless. If this was someone who had just had their world taken from them, they were likely traumatized and terrified. There was no need to make the situation worse. He remembered that time in his life too well to not be empathetic.

"Not at all." Zack grinned, presenting THOSE stunning facts without hesitation. "But nice to think it possible, huh?" There were some things that were heavy enough to weigh down the body physically. That wasn't to say anything about the mind and the heart. Add all of those things together, and one had a trifecta of bullshit to take with them for their trouble.

"You had that look on your face, like it was something you needed to hear." Though, even believing that pain could be blocked didn't help the pang of agony of the moment, but still.

"I'm Zack. I know a thing or two about carrying ridiculous problems on the shoulders."

"Shut Up" Kiss Meme | Open

@escortingsecrets asked: "I don't need to hear it. I just need…" 💋 For Reno

Well maybe he damn well had more to say, Reno usually wasn't one that liked being interrupted, especially when trying to express himself on something he found very important--and the factor of Shivan and his worth and the very reality of how Reno saw the other man was very fucking important right now, but then the bastard was interrupting him and Reno was next to fuming.

But then a hand was reaching out, and Shivan had that look in his eyes, and it seemed their bodies just gravitated. On instinct, he knew what was coming, and met it half way after letting out a sigh to release the frustration pent up from all his ranting and being interrupted multiple times.

Perhaps Shivan was finally seeing. And if he didn't yet, Reno would make sure he'd see now.

The turks fingers reached to dig through long, soft strands, caressing and gripping as his lips pressed and pushed. There was the sparks and the threat of fire, as if his own lips could so easily consume the other if he didn't hold himself back, and yet they moved with a firm, ever present tenderness. His other hand found it's way to the small of Shivan's back, cradling him so carefully as he deepened the kiss, tongue just having to slip out for a brief tease at the breech of the others lips.

He wasn't sure how long they were kissing, but he did find himself catching his breath just a little as he drew back to look at the other man. This beautiful man. With his beautiful tragic scars, and his beautiful tragic heart. The hand in his hair moved to caress over his cheek and he sighed.

"...You get it now, sweetheart?" he implored, voice softer than usual, and aquamarine eyes bore into the other with a fondness few had ever seen.

🤚 - To offer a hand to dance. ------------

It was times like these that Thera almost wished she wasn't so good at her job. 'Almost' because she had a close to pathological habit of being careful what she actually wished for and 'not so good' because then she might not get invited to events like this. Or at least that was what she told herself was the reason; it was a little more palatable than the other possibility, that she was only there to look good.

Shinra was trying to get its feet back under it after the President's 'untimely' demise, and part of that was holding - being seen to hold - an executive soiree at one of Wall Market's classier halls. Directors, Under-Directors, upper management mingled with false smiles and the occasional kya-ha-ha, alongside local government guests and a fair selection of Honeybee's finest, being paid a lot of money to 'entertain'.

Thera pressed herself back toward a corner, doing her best voluntary wallflower impression as the band struck up a peppier tune and people began pairing off to dance.

Please don't ask me ... truth was she did like to dance, but not here, in this crowd. Please don't ask, please don't ... She inhaled as a hand was offered, eyes darting to the face beyond, and breathed out in relief. "Shivan!" Thank gods. Possibly the only person in the room she could trust!

"Yes, thank you." Fingers were gripped with just a tiny bit of desperation, "I'd be delighted!"

He was startled! All of his eyes raised. He wanted to scream but no mouth was present. Regulus stepped back and his hooves made him stumble on the ground.

He made a squeal, a silent flinch. He didn’t expect anyone to be in the forest. Regulus stood up and he took a step back. He didn’t want to startle her with his appearance. He wasn’t from around here — not from earth even. He’s a very strange alien.

"I already told you, Shivan. I don't know where Alex is. I haven't seen him in a few weeks." Kit says it so nonchalantly that it might as well be the truth, but it feels like there's something lingering underneath. Not that they would ever admit that Alex, well, Casper has disappeared at their discretion. That's what happens when someone is so utterly stupid enough to cross them. Oh, well. He should be nice and cozy in Hojo's lab by now.

They lean against the wall, lighting a cigarette and taking a long drag of it. "I'm just as confused as you are. No one has seen him. I've even dragged Reno along to help me find him. Nothing. Perhaps he simply left Midgar. People do it all the time." If that's the case, they don't seem too torn up about it.

Kit looks over at Shivan, raising a brow. "You can keep asking me, but the answer doesn't change. Don't you have better things to do than to wring your hands over something like that?"

[fenixbled]

@escortingsecrets

they don't spend a lot of time together -- though in all fairness, vegas was busy and not the greatest with interactions. they weren't awkward like rufus, but they weren't quite as outgoing as reno. the phoenix is leaned against their motorcycle, watching shivan with their head tilted to the side.

"so-- you have any plans for later?" nailed it.

[moldbreakcr]

@escortingsecrets wanted a bastard

the dragon is practically basking in the sunlight. his eyes are closed, and if shivan listens closely, reno is purring. reno has a coffee (first mistake) and a bag of assorted sweets. he's out with shivan and life is just... really good right now.

"we could just stay here all day." reno muses.
