OMG IT'S A SLUMBER PARTY MEME.


You are in a vast room, vast enough so that what happens over here won't necessarily disturb what's happening over there, with a couple of semi-screened areas for semi-privacy and all the pillows and blankets and soft (or bouncy) sleeping surfaces you could ever want. Refreshments and entertainments provided by your dear friends at End of Line and Alan's popcorn machine. A movie screen or two. Stuffed animals (what is that one with all the tentacles anyway?). Your choice of sleepwear. Whatever else you'd take with you to a slumber party. And you get to share all of this with everyone else on the Grid.

Clearly this will be the best night EVER.

~Rules!~

When starting a thread, put what you're doing, who's involved, and any warnings in the subject line (e.g. 'Pillow fortress || OTA || tooth-rotting fluff'.) Also use the subject line in case a thread develops in such a way that new warnings are needed.

Within an open-to-all context, threadjacking and multiplayer threads are HIGHLY ENCOURAGED.~~ Threads locked to a few characters are allowed too.

Continuity is variable, and likely unique to each thread. What happens in-meme stays in-meme unless you want it to apply somewhere else, and falling asleep in the Rinzlerpile doesn't mean you can't also fall asleep in the Userpile somewhere else.

This meme is safe. Like, really safe. Highest level of physical harm that can happen in this area is shoving someone or getting whacked with a pillow; anyone who attempts harmful physical contact (including unwanted disc meddling, I'M LOOKIN' AT YOU, CLU~) is quantum-teleported out of reach before the harm can happen, ~as many times as it takes~ for the message to sink in, and everyone goes in fully aware of this. Viruses and glitches are contained in a hamster ball quantum sphere which suppresses their infectious capabilities; such spheres can merge with other spheres, and non-viruses can go in and out of them at will (and only perceive a mild static sensation if a virus tries to infect them).

Which makes this a good place to thread with folks your characters don't often get an IC chance to thread with.

No pressure. This meme isn't expiring any time soon. Feel free to take your time!

Of course common rp courtesy applies here -- no godmodding, be mindful of one anothers' comfort levels, warn as needed, ask if uncertain of something, etc. Which we all do because we're awesome.~~

Other than that, HAVE FUN! |D /turns off notifs and waits for the tide to roll in<3

She honestly had no idea how much she had sustained him during the dark days, she could guess, of course, and she could probably guess well, but she didn't really know.

She made a quiet sound of her own, smiling easily both at his statement and at his smile, her hand spreading flat against his chest, I feel you. And she could, the same as she always could.

[disc_warrior]

At that, Li's smile widened a moment before softening - his circuitry flickering in a visible blush equivalent. His free hand drifted up to touch her face, feeling her smile as his eyes slitted. He shifted to rest his forehead to hers.

"I feel you." He whispered softly - fingertip brushing at her lips before doing the same with his mouth gently. He knew that she didn't understand how she had sustained him in the past...and even he didn't know in many ways. But he knew that since her return - she had definitely done so since she had reunited with him.

He told her as much internally since his mouth was busy. I may not know with true clarity right now the answers you may seek from the past. While you were...gone...but since we have reunited you have sustained me more than I can express. The hand that was loosely resting over hers pressed to his chest stroked lightly.

Taking one's life is an act of ultimate dishonor in my eyes. But even with that belief there were a couple of events in my run time where I wish I didn't have that belief. When I wanted it to just end.

The first time he had felt such a potent feeling was at her death. There were various times during his captivity where he had also felt it. Whenever he was forcefully recompiled for another round in the Games. He just wanted it to end. He wanted it to end when Fire ended up being gone...though how that happened and what had happened after was still lost to him.

And then - when he got attacked by Abraxas, and his eyes nearly destroyed - again he had that feeling of despair and hopelessness. For how was he to function as a basic? How could he protect those he loved? He still had thoughts like that...and he knew Aadi knew.

But now....even during times when I feel like that - I would never want to leave you. That desire had nothing to do with codes of Honor. I told you before that you were my purpose. I live for you, Aadi.

[isoartist]

She shifted over so that she was stretched across him instead of curled up against his side, pressing a quick kiss to his temple and another to his brow, her voice was a murmur, for his ears only, "I told you then, I'll tell you now, I'll tell you as many times as you need to hear it, life is more than just existing." Another quick kiss to his jaw, "And you can't just exist for someone else, you have to live for yourself as well."

She smiled, nuzzling at his jaw and the line of his throat, "I'm happy to be your reason, but not your purpose. The map, the compass, but not the destination."

[disc_warrior]

Lizor settled against the pillows behind him when Aadi shifted across. He was still very content and relaxed. He had come a long way since his rerezz. Since her rerezz. It was very obvious he enjoyed every one of her touches.

He smiled almost dreamily - definitely still very happy when she kissed him on various spots on his face, eyes shutting. His free hand looped behind and stroked firm fingers along her back, rubbing just under her disc gently.

Her words confused him slightly, just as they did when she first told him. As a Basic - he was written to serve. Even when he didn't know his purpose any more. He knew it had something to do with security. So he tried to do things that were security oriented. Now he couldn't even do that. What was more than purpose other than whom he loved so much?

Living life for oneself was a difficult concept for a Basic. Sure, he did what he could to survive in darker times - but what she was speaking of was a bit different.

He did smile though, at the notion of Aadi being his compass and map. He really didn't know what he'd do without her. "I do not even know what the destination could be." He chuckled softly. Her concept was so her...and so ISO...and he loved her so much for it even when he couldn't truly understand it himself yet.

[isoartist]

Another soft laugh followed at that statement, shaking her head and nuzzling his nose before just resting her chin on folded arms against his chest, "Well neither do I. It's an adventure that way. Life would be boring without a little adventure, or a lot of adventure. Or some kind of normal balance of adventure." Her brow furrowed then, "Is there such a thing?"

[disc_warrior]

"Hnnn" Lizor murmured in audible amusement, eyes slitting when she nuzzled his nose. When sighted - he would usually jerk up and try to nip her nose back...or her lip...but he was too hesitant to do that now when he couldn't aim.

"An adventure?" He smirked. "I don't know if there is such a thing as a 'normal balance of adventure' - but it sure is an adventure knowing you." He smirked wider. "You and your processor busting ISO concepts..." He wasn't being insulting...not at all. She would recognize the almost gleeful sense of laughter bubbling up in his emotional subroutines and that twinkle in his dark eyes.

[isoartist]

She knew the amusement there, and it only fueled her own, laughing softly in the back of her throat, shaking her head before resting her brow against his, "Well you're just going to have to keep up. And if you crack too badly I can always patch you back together again, I've had more than enough experience at that."

[disc_warrior]

"Hehe..." Lizor uttered, his grin turning rather cheeky. "You better...since you like to break my processor with these ideas." That's it...game over. It's all your fault.. Oh yes - he was amused..and could feel her amusement too which only fueled his as they fed on each other's emotion with mutual delight.

He tilted his face up after a moment when she rested her forehead on his, trying to catch her lip in his with a playful nibble. "Now what am I going to do with you in retaliation..." He mused slowly...as if plotting a devious scheme.

[isoartist]

"Hmm, should I be worried?" She stretched, almost catlike, really, both hands stretching against his chest, kneading at his shoulders a moment as she added, "Because I can tell you I'm terrified." Though the fact that she was nesting down more comfortably against him again belied the fact that she was anything but, as did the amusement still lacing through her energy signature.

[disc_warrior]

"Mmmmaaybe..." Lizor inhaled deeply and sighed. Drawing out the word as she stretched above him. He automatically pressed up into her hands with a sinuous arched movemement of his toned body as her palms slid firmly over the sensory nodes on his chest, up over his shoulders with a kneading movement than back down again - uttering a pleased groan softly in his throat. His eyes nearly rolled up it felt so good. She had kneaded over the places where there were circular nodes on his armor.

"Mmmshould be afraid." He added - reaching down to undo the rest of his shirt so that it would fall open. Than he quite gleefully slid strong firm hands up the front of her body, kneading her on soft curves over the nodes and then to the shoulders in retaliation. "I am not going to go easy on you...." the laughter was obvious in his feel and face.

[isoartist]

"I'll be very put out with you if you do." She replied, laughing softly, amusement still buzzing away between them, the best sort of feedback loop. She was trying her hardest to sound serious, but the grin really did hinder that, and the fact that she was leaning into his touch probably gave her away as well.
