video; fanfic narration. because he can.

[choiced]

[OOC: Warning for some smuttiness! I will avoid explicit stuff, and replies should likewise avoid explicit stuff, but there is absolutely smuttiness going on.]


[Zelos will be honest -- he didn't really know what to think of the fanfiction at the Foreigner Festival when he first realised what it was, and he hasn't gone out of his way to find any more since. There's something about the idea of someone narrating his life that doesn't sit well with him.

But then. But then.

He gets his hands on these.

When the camera turns on, Keeliai gets treated to one of Zelos's smarmiest grins. He's holding a book -- or a paper document that does its best to pass for a book, anyway -- and he waves it at the screen.]

Hello there, all my beautiful hunnies! I have a special treat for everyone today. You know those stories people write about us? [He waves the papers some more.] I hit the jackpot! You'll never guess what I found.

[Some people can maybe guess.]

Hang on, I'm going to read out the best part. If anyone knows who 'Inaev Morenth' is, by the way, I'm happy to pay you to tell me. Okay, so here we go! This one's called The Hot Dust.

[And Zelos clears his throat, repositions the papers, and... proceeds to narrate what is unmistakeably, from the very first word, smut. Perhaps mercifully, people can turn off their consoles whenever they want.]

Comments

I do not drink tea at all.

[She was being literal again...or was she?]

Is this why you decided to read such a thing to the public network? Because you think it...fun?

[choiced]

Your cup of curry, then.

[If Tabatha was cooking curry that one time, clearly that means all robots eat curry.]

Yep! It's fun, and it's good writing, and it's so hard to find good stuff like this around here. I'm performing a public service.

[looksfine]

[Yeah, Aya was sure that...wasn't a commonly known idiom. Although she could have been mistaken.]

I am not certain the general public shares your sentiment.

[choiced]

[Zelos waves a dismissive hand.] Them? They're just the most vocal ones. I can guarantee that a whole lot of people really loved this, and they're just too ashamed of it to say so.

[looksfine]

How can it bring them pleasure if they are ashamed of it?

I am certain the two emotions do not compliment one another.

[choiced]

[Zelos laughs. Oh, Aya. There is so much he could teach you.]

Believe me, when it comes to sex, they definitely compliment each other. You know how when someone tells you not to do something, it just makes you more determined to do it? It's like that.

[A pause, and a wince, as memories of Sheena hitting him too many times to count comes flooding back to mind.]

Except if -- obviously, both people have to want it.

[How do you explain consent to someone who doesn't understand sex, and also you believe 'consent' includes being able to tell when someone wants to say yes but can't.]

[looksfine]

[...okay, that sentiment, at least, Aya understood well. Everytime someone told her she should not do something, or that she was incapable because she was "young" or a "newbie" or "merely a robot"...you bet she went off on her own with full knowledge of her abilities and did it anyway.]

[Although she had a feeling this was a bit different than defying orders to complete a mission across enemy lines.]

I have never been ashamed of my actions, regardless of which orders I defied in order to accomplish them.
