MISFIRES

a rambunctious duo in salt has stuck their nose where they shouldn't and now you can all reap the rewards! this is a MISFIRES meme. post a header for your character, and receive accidental texts from your local saltburntian guests. nudes, nasties, confessions of a certain persuasion? things you'd otherwise never write or send? they're all on the table. (meme threads aren't game canon, but they're not not game canon either, right)

A very pragmatic way to look at it.

Being here, there are certain attitudes that are obsolete. People do not seem to turn away from things that are unpleasant. That is a great comfort.

I would become a modern man, then? I can scarcely picture it. What do you suppose I'd do?

[holyposition]

What about you? You'd be a great dad, if you had the chance.

I do appreciate that about the people here. I'll miss it. In the 1950s everything is much more repressed.

You could go to modern medical school and be a doctor. There's a lot of biologists out on the west coast, marine life to be studied. You could help me organize and jumpstart the fight that would make all that other stuff you're talking about possible. You could do anything you want.

[mygoodsir]

Oh, I don't think I would be. I'm a terrible disciplinarian.

I understand.

I do like the idea of studying more of the natural world. I like to think that I am a good anatomist, but I also think often of how terribly I failed on the expedition. I never saved anyone. So perhaps I could help you, and when not doing that I could investigate the Pacific.

[holyposition]

You're emotionally open, which is what most fathers are missing. I can already see it, you teaching the kids about all the fun things they can find in the tidepools. Reading them stories, fussing over them when they're sick. You'd be great at it. We can work on the discipline thing.

Be a little more fair to yourself, Harry. The odds were pretty heavily stacked against you.

I would want you to follow your passion, wherever that leads you. That's what I intend to do.

[mygoodsir]

It sounds more like I would make a wonderful mother.

Perhaps. But I still failed.

I admire that about you, Tim. You've such drive, such determination. I never feel as if you are afraid of moving into the unknown.

[holyposition]

If all they have is fathers, someone needs to be able to fill both roles. It's not an insult.

You did everything you could.

That's a pretty new development, to be fair. I've always been afraid. When I arrived here, I was running away. But after werewolves and vampires and zombies and death, nothing back home is worth being scared of.

[mygoodsir]

I would make a lovely malewife. 😘

Yes. I did.

I suppose that's very true indeed. But still, I admire you greatly.

[holyposition]

That makes two of us. We'll have to make Hawk be the bad guy. 😇

That's sweet of you. I could eat you up.

[mygoodsir]

I suppose we shall. He is the most stern.

Phrasing, Tim.

[holyposition]

[ Even as a pipe dream fantasy, it makes him so happy to think about that he almost can't stand it. So of course he puts his foot in his mouth to ruin the moment. ]

Oh God, sorry.

I meant. I could kiss every inch of you and never get tired of it.

[mygoodsir]

It's alright, I'm not upset. It's my own issue to deal with. I've had to request certain phrases not be used a few times. Like the very colourful "spitroast."

I feel the same.

[holyposition]

...how would you feel about that if it were phrased differently?

[mygoodsir]

Would you be there?

[holyposition]

Of course I would.

[mygoodsir]

I would be amenable.

[holyposition]

If I were the one in the middle?

[mygoodsir]

Certainly. You deserve such attention.

[holyposition]

I think I'd like that. I've never tried.

[mygoodsir]

Nor have I, although it's been mentioned.

I think we'd very much enjoy spoiling you, Tim.

[holyposition]

[ Getting horrifically hot and bothered just thinking about it: ]

Maybe you should check with him. Just to make sure. I'm not really getting spoiled if I'm the one arranging everything.

[mygoodsir]

I will write him a proposal.

Do you think he's done it before?

[holyposition]

Well, we did, once. We just had someone else in the middle.

It was someone he sees sometimes but isn't serious about. So it was different. Not so emotional.

[mygoodsir]

Someone here?

I have been propositioned thusly before, but I admit I would prefer such a thing to be with with you, first.

[holyposition]

Yeah, it was here. Back home...even if we wanted to, it wouldn’t be a good idea. Why let more people know than we have to, when we’re being hunted down?

Looks like you’re more popular than you thought you’d be. I'd like it to be with me and you too, though. I wouldn’t have wanted to be in the middle with the other guy. It's a really vulnerable position, you know?

[mygoodsir]

I understand.

Oh goodness, no! I am not, my sphere of romance is very small.

I imagine so, yes. But with Hawk and I, you would be safe.
