#idan and okuni bff

[idanwyn-et-al]

Idanwyn Lluanswys nods, her all-telling tattoo moving from stormy seas to peaceful lagoon. She reaches out with her left hand, cupping Okuni's right cheek, her thumb running gently over the fins of her horn. "Seventh question. Do ye ken tha' I love ye dear, an' only am askin' these tae let ye tell yer story wi'out judgement?" Okuni Tomioka seems to almost crumple. She catches herself on Idanwyn, braces her hands on her shoulders and lets herself be weak. Here, now? There's no enemy to see, no one she needs to be strong for. "I know, sister mine. I know. I love you all the greater for it. I'm sure you must have a thousand things to say..." Idanwyn Lluanswys envelops Okuni with the kind of hug that only their size difference can bring. Her arms in their chemise are warm; the left one tingles pleasantly against Okuni's cheek, like a friendly kiss. The Sea Wolf rests her head atop Okuni's sleek, black hair, saying only: "Eighth question. Are ye safe an' hale, looked after weall?" Okuni Tomioka nods into her best friend's chest. Oh, accidental motorboating. This is fine. She pulls away and suppresses a sniffle. "I am. I look after myself best of all, you know this. I have people who would /probably/ throw themselves to the wolves to keep me safe, but I'd rather they not. It is for their sake that I risk myself, after all." Idanwyn Lluanswys nods. 'I want tae continue me line o' questionin' in th' name o' fun, an' yet...I fear ye might t'ink this is all a joke tae me." Okuni Tomioka shakes her head. "No, I'm sorry. I guess I just needed to...get it out there. To let the stress finally take shape instead of denying it exists. Please, keep going. I'll answer." Idanwyn Lluanswys nods, her lips pulled into a small smile. "A'right. Tenth question...we're halfway there." She squeezes Okuni's right hand, then takes a seat, freeing her dearest friend from the Looming Presence of someone taller than her. Idanwyn Lluanswys: "[The decade question. When you are troubled, what is it that bothers you most?]" Okuni Tomioka is the one to loom now. She props herself up over Idan, using the poof of her ponytail as a support. "[That which troubles me most...]" The words sound a bit stifled, as if slipping back into her native tongue feels odd after so long. "[What bothers me most is how /attractive/ some of the enemy is. It isn't fair. It's easier to make monsters of an enemy when they're physically monstrous, when you can dismiss them as those without thought or will. I hate that those of us who fight against them actually feel compassion for them, or give ear to their false promises of mercy and power. They aren't like that. They. Are. The. Enemy. And further what bothers me is how much I am underestimated. Okuni Tomioka has never faltered, never failed when it mattered most. Even if there is a voice inside claiming otherwise.]" [11:18 p.m.](♠Okuni Tomioka) please picture her leaning down propped on idan while ranting [11:18 p.m.](Idanwyn Lluanswys) i'm *in it* Idanwyn Lluanswys adjusts her neck so that it and her thick coif can support the draped weight of her swysta. "[Are you telling me you are a monster-fucker,] Okuni? [And furthermore, that you think you may falter when confronted with a pretty face that masks ill intent?]" Idanwyn Lluanswys: "Questions eleven an' twelve." Idanwyn Lluanswys offers up a nibble of nigiri.

((there’s more to come, but...I really love BFF RP with @liminal-storage , especially when Twenty Questions are involved!))

In which BFF RP Night is seriously probably the cure for COVID-19 (at least for us)

Okuni Tomioka sighs, air hissing out of her like an overinflated balloon. Discomfort gone, just content fullness. She stands, leans right down next to Idanwyn and gives her a kiss on the cheek, then seats herself and leans against her shoulder...or arm, rather, as she can't quite reach. "People talk about how soulmates make you better, right? How being with them soothes you down to your weary bones. I don't think that has to be romantic. [I'm pretty sure you're mine. Or if not, my soul-guide]." Idanwyn Lluanswys adjusts her stature so that Okuni can settle comfortably against her bicep; while doing so, she gently kisses the center of the scales on Okuni's forehead. "[Have I ever told you that I think those scales on your forehead look either like a tiara, or an extra set of horns if you are upset? They are lovely, and I hope you never change them.]" Sitting back on her heels, she replies, "I am no' sure I'm a guide, but I can settle fer a soulmate, lass. I ken weall yer meanin', an'..." she pauses; sometimes, the formality of her Hingan speech suits the moment better. "[I do not wish to bring more dark clouds here, but when I offered you my blood, when the serpent had overtaken you...it is because I felt that our blood oath was more than a symbolic gesture. Though we are often drawn our separate ways, we have summers of kinship between us, and I truly feel, sometimes, that I feel your blood speaking within mine. That you are with me, giving me strength, even when we are apart.]" (Idanwyn Lluanswys) oh no, the balamb garden music started playing on the mix i'm listening to and i was like I LOVE OKUNI WAAAH Okuni Tomioka: "I /am/ with you. Always. When sleep takes you and you find yourself floundering in nightmares, I am there with you. When you feel joy at a sunset, I wish I was there with you. When you fail at baking something and this little abomination does it better...well, that's just you channeling me, I think." She smiles, bright and full and true. "I love you so dearly, Idanwyn. I pray that if we live to be great ancients, we die on the same day so that we need not mourn." (♠Okuni Tomioka) these two are just *chef kiss*

Idanwyn Lluanswys laughs softly, pressing her lips together. She turns her head to the abomination---which is still focusing on the potted plant---and then, to Okuni's library. She has the advantage of height, for once, and so it's not immediately clear that she's crying, but...she is. "Ah, seven hells, Okuni!" She laughs that uncertain half-sob-half -burst laugh. "Clearly we need tae become primals sae we ne'er die. T'ink o'er it; ye can wear yer latex, an' I'll wear...oh...a cap'n's hat an' me spearfishin' getup. They'll fear us from shore tae shore." Okuni Tomioka wipes away a stray tear or two as well. "Primals, huh? Okuni, the latex dominatrix, and Idanwyn the fierce captain...sounds like a hell of a romance novel plot, honestly. If we decide to write it can I genderbend myself so that I get a huge dick?" Idanwyn Lluanswys snorts a laugh, looking down to Okuni incredulously. "Lass...if ye didnae..." she bends down to whisper near Okuni's horn, "*could ye really call yerself a Raen?*" Okuni Tomioka: "Of course not. If I don't have a dong as big as my tail we have some major problems."

(( @liminal-storage​ ! We really did run the whole gamut of topics tonight huh))

#in which we go from absolutely sweet heartfelt BFF RP to shitposting at intense levels #also the paissa made its debut #paissa patissier #paissa #okuni tomioka #idanwyn lluanswys #my writing #friend writing #rp snippets #idan and okuni BFF

[idanwyn-et-al]

I truly do love all sorts of RP. I love big events, I love adventure. I love terrifying plots and aching drama. I love slow burns and fast burns and those weird both-burns. I love good ERP. I love crafting RP. I love lore-adherent and lore-bending. I love what-ifs.

But honestly, what I’ve learned that I love in a really special, enduring way, and I post about as often as I can, is Best Friend RP. It’s not something I’ve gotten to have often, and it’s just...always good. It’s awesome to have a friend IC (and, of course, OOC) to talk about life with, to go on adventures with, to make mistakes with, and to create a comet-like tail of bright beauty that streaks through the sky of my favorite hobby.

Thank you @ritzcraft​ , for being such a good friend to me and Idanwyn. Coming up on three years now!

Okuni Tomioka had not considered this. She stands in silent contemplation before gremlin mode kicks in. "I'm going to make dongs," she declares.

((Idan, party chat: HAUHGKDHGBHDGBDG))

Idanwyn Lluanswys snorts, then laughs. "Aye, weall. Tis Starlight, an' we all need reminders o' ....o' spring...wait, make one tha' curves tae th' left."

(( @liminal-storage​ took the screenshot and is the gremlin in question, whomst I love and will fight anyone for ))

@liminal-storage ‘s Okuni and Idanwyn continue to remind me that BFF RP is the best thing ever. Their conversation for tonight is [redacted].

#idan and okuni BFF #okuni tomioka #idanwyn lluanswys

[idanwyn-et-al]

“There is nowhere you could go that I won’t be with you.”

A Moana quote, but also a reminder that @liminal-storage​ is a fantastic friend, even when Okuni and Idanwyn haven’t gotten to hang out. 

Thank you, darlin’, for your kindness tonight.

#okuni tomioka #idanwyn lluanswys #okuni and idan bff #idanmun's questions about forgiveness

[idanwyn-et-al]

Women of many worlds, they could be called; witches, by some, but they would laugh this off. They have been through loves, losses, great joys and great fears together, and still, they find their way back to each other; to beaches, to an apartment, to a house, to a bottle or three of sake and two shared languages.

But...mostly, they find their way back to the sea; and, there, the other is waiting, ready to offer an ear to listen, a shoulder to cry on, a fist to punch an offender, or a throat to laugh, wildly, without inhibition, at the stars above.

This is what best friends look like. Neither have known this particular sort of love before; both hope to nurture this bright seed forevermore.

((Much love to @ritzcraft ; our girls have been BFFs for about a year and a half now, and I love her both IC and OOC.))
