004 // the house of sin
Who: Dorian and assorted guests
Broadcast: Fleet-wide, 3/10
Action: In a villa practically in the forest (THE HOUSE OF SIN)
When: Broadcast- 3/10 // Action- 3/9-3/31? Until we leave.
Broadcast:
[The broadcast goes out on 3/10, and Dorian smirks a bit into the feed.]
I believe I've secured lodging for myself, with room enough for several others. If you need a place to stay, do let me know. It's a quaint little villa a bit outside of town. ...please don't mind the suspicious glances, I assure you, I've done nothing entirely against the guidelines that were set.
---------
Action:
[Dorian has secured a villa, but the residents of Mor don't seem too keen on having an evil mage for a neighbor. As the month goes on, more and more villagers will show up to stand at the gates of the villa and threaten to come in after the "evil wizard".
Maybe he shouldn't have gone so overboard with the whole "contacting the spirits of the dead" thing.]
((OOC: Mingle post for the House of Sin. We'll pretend there are enough rooms in here for everyone! Even if you character only drops by to rest their feet a bit, everyone is welcome to visit and stay the night if they want.))

It's not easy.
[Less so when you have a legacy weighing down on you, but Dorian could still remember furtive, clumsy kisses in the circle in Quarinus, holding onto the other boy's robes like they were a lifeline, like they meant something.
And how every time footsteps sounded down the halls they would pull away, leave him in an alcove with only the memory of their lips on his.
Dark nights in their shared room with Rilienus, and him telling Dorian, definitively, that he didn't love him. But Dorian knew, perhaps too late, that he was irrevocably, desperately in love with him.
It wasn't easy.
That's what pushed him to talk to Krista, to offer friendship to her, because he remembered how lonely it all was, and how desperate he was for something that had any meaning.
And how hard it was to figure out what it mean to prefer boys to girls, in a society where love like his was seen as just a dalliance. Where had to figure out what love meant to him, and had to figure it out alone.
He didn't want Krista to feel that, like she was alone in this.
He offered her an uncertain but honest smile. It was odd, letting someone else in, but he was finding that it was worth it.]
If you ever need me, you know how to find me. At the very least, I can lend a sympathetic ear.

maybe her dad. maybe.]
Sympathy's pretty nice... Though I also accept gifts and chocolates.
[it's so deadpan that it could almost be mistaken for total seriousness. she glances down at the covers of the bed, since she couldn't look at Dorian and still have the guts to say this--]
You know what the really stupid thing is? I just keep thinking about my family. I mean, like, they're already going to think I'm a hideous abomination for secretly being a fairy monster underneath all the... human, so...
[...she looks up, a little.] I'm basically gonna be hunted down every day of my life for being magical, so I don't know why this is the thing that's bothering me so much...

I've learned that the more something bothers you, the more it means to you.
[And he looks over at her, uncertain.]
Not that it shouldn't be important. I'm certain that there are people who don't think about who they prefer, simply because they don't need to. For the rest of us...it's a struggle to know who you are. To find out who "you" are. And certainly, I imagine it could be harder to reach for something more normal to learn about yourself when you're facing being chased for the rest of your life.

[she gives it a pause, thinking for a moment... but doesn't come up with anything smart or insightful to say.]
I guess I'll just... figure it out, like everything else.
no subject
[And then he smiles, softly, raising his brows teasingly.]
So are there any girls that have caught your fancy?
no subject
[she instantly turns several shades of pink, hiding her face against the bed.]
No. No way.
