This Mess We're In The city sun sets over me...
You awaken slightly disoriented on a beautiful, smooth stone floor. A look around will tell you that this place is a hilltop temple with a good view of the beautiful city below. On opposite sides of the temple are genderless depictions of deities. One is clearly powerful, made of onyx, held up in an imposing stance with one hand holding a gilded flogger and the other outstretched with an open palm as if to enforce a command. The other, made of polished white marble, has taken a knee to the dominant statue across from them. One of their hands is a vase for fresh flowers and you can see that new ones have been placed there today.

The music of an unseen harp begins to play and a golden light permeates the temple. Suddenly, you know what is happening here. The duality that is worshipped here, the figures in the temple, they have a name. The onyx one is Ceannasach and the marble one is Cuiristeach and together with their combined power they are the ones who have brought you to Parthas.

What is Parthas? Parthas is paradise! You have either been brought here because Ceannasach believes you contribute to your world in some glorious way and deserve to be honored and served or because Cuiristeach believes that you would be excellent in a service role, perhaps they even feel sorry for the state of your life back home and want to show you something better.

The deities here also brought you because they need lik which is the energy that allows them to exist. Lik is created in small amounts when you interact with other people, in greater amounts when you grow fond of certain people, and in greater still amounts when you begin to use physical affection. However, when you orgasm, that creates the purest form of lik there is.

Ceannasach and Cuiristeach reward you in a special way. When you have sex with your soulmate or your hjarta, your vördr, or spirit, leaves your body in a time-frozen moment to commune with the deities and ask for something big or small that you might like. Sex carries on as usual and only you will know that you asked for something. If you ask to be sent home, the deities will send you into a hyperaroused state when you least expect it. Hey, you offended them.

The deities also believe you should know of something they have placed in Parthas for your benefit. There is a river in a valley in the middle of housing that will give and take anything you like from your body if you should so wish. This can mean a illness, sadness, a memory or anything else, but be careful because this river runs on fickle magic.

As the harp music continues, you become aware of a new power of yours. You can hear any thought that any other person sends your way, even the ones sent accidentally, and you can see images and moving pictures, as well. Don’t limit yourself to one person! Send that thought to everyone!

The harp music comes to an eventual end and you are left with the knowledge the deities gave you. Your intuition leads you down a southbound path towards a city where a celebration seems to be taking place, if the colorful banners are any indicator. Welcome to Parthas!


Dancing Barefoot She, intoxicated by Thee; She has the slow sensation that He is levitating with She
There is indeed a celebration going on in South City as this is the month of Feabhra. Where it was daylight when you left the Main Temple, now that you have reached the city the only lights are colorful paper lanterns strung up across smooth stone roads. The warmth of the daytime has cooled, so it might be smart to snuggle up with someone in one of the city’s various gazebos – each of them has a swing made for two (or three if you snuggle close enough.)

Harps, flutes, guitars and drums play lively music for everyone to dance to in the city square where garlands of brightly colored and white flowers hang for people to do with as they will. A stately woman dressed in black and wearing a brooch with the face of Ceannasach stands off to the side, her dark hair pulled back in a chignon. Whispers circulate, getting to you and informing you that this woman is E’ara Fraoch, owner of the most successful brothel in South City, and she is paying 50 gold pieces to the best dancers and 100 more if they will come work for her at Where The Wild Roses Grow, her establishment.


I Feel You I feel you, your precious soul, and I am whole
Food and drink is plentiful at this celebration and some of it is even free! The vendors believe that this is a good promotion for their stores during the rest of the year. They wheel their carts about, humming jaunty tunes and offering delicious things to you, the new arrivals, and everyone else in the city.
There is a man named Sam wheeling his cart of beverages and chocolate dipped waffles through town. If you catch him, he’ll probably suggest you order the alcoholic drink The Spirit of Feabhra. This drink does not come without side effects. It tastes like a fancy gin cocktail, sparkling and sweet with the flavor of berries and mint hitting your tongue, but the moment you get close to someone you actually have feelings for, you start to feel it… Them. Their thoughts, their emotions, their dreams… It’s as if they have melted into you.


Is This Desire? Is this desire; Enough, enough; To lift us higher; To lift above?
You have been told repeatedly throughout the night by smiling (creepy) faces not to wander out of the city limits into the wilderness, but now that you are here you just don’t get it. Lichens and fungi light up the night with a soft glow from the tree trunks, seemingly drawing you in.

In the forest, the music fades and the chittering of small animals creates a different tune. You don’t seem to be in danger. You might come across the healthiest, most beautiful apple tree you’ve ever seen. It is completely free of pests and only the dew clings to the apples’ shiny surface.

Should you pick one for yourself, you will feel a strange compulsion to bite it. Go on. Do it. If and when you have, you will find yourself incredibly aroused, but you won’t be able to bring yourself to orgasm – another must do it. If you didn’t bite the apple, maybe you gave it to someone else. In that case they will be unstoppably attracted to you with arousal to match. If you chose to plant it near your home, a tree like the one it came from will grow there and you will ICly receive a special reward.


Dead of Night When delirious fun; Has seriously begun; You'll be down on your knees; You'll be begging us please
Now you’ve done it. You’ve wandered into the woods without a spiritual guide from the temple. Now the vættir have been awoken and they are ready to fuck shit up… Sort of. Right now, these spirits kind of only want to ruin this party, but who knows what they’ll do later?

A low-lying cloud of black smoke crawls down the hills from the forest to the city until it covers the smooth stone roads and reaches up into everyone who is either of weak constitution or just simply tired and possesses them. It doesn’t take total control, but rather influences them, and causes them to destroy decorations, vendor carts, and do wild things they wouldn’t ordinarily do. Basically, these spirits want to cut through the façade and see you party like a rock star.

The only way to exorcise one of the vættir from a friend or loved one is to call on the deity of light – Cuiristeach. They accept demonstrations of service as the highest form of prayer, so get on your knees for your friend and get this done!

Honestly, it really does. We gotta give them what they want.

Bucky squeezes Karen's hand and pulls her to him again, left arm low on her back and pushing her close up against his body. She's soft where he's all hard angles and flat planes of muscle and he likes the differences between them, likes how they fit together. He thinks even if there wasn't a drink, he'd be interested, and that might just because of this place or because he's in a better place. Bucky isn't sure which.

Want me to undress you first?

More and more, Karen is realizing that she doesn’t have a type. She’s been with the good guy and she’s been with the guy people say is wrong for her, bad in some way, but she’s loved them both. Who’s to say that she couldn’t love Bucky, too, along with his uHaul truck of trauma that seemed to match her own. He’s sweet, funny and he can make her feel like every nerve in her body is tingling with electricity. She isn’t lying when she says that he’s special.

Karen nods her head, innocent doe eyes looking up at Bucky.. Yes, please. She lifts her long blonde hair so he has access to the bow tied behind her back that holds her halter dress up.

I don’t want to sound… Well, it’s just that you were born so long ago and I don’t have very much on me to remove. I don’t want you to think I’m easy or anything...

Bucky gives her a completely bewildered look and blinks for a moment or two before gesturing at her. This, he thinks, requires speaking out loud because god, he's not that old is he?

"Do you honestly think we didn't have dresses in the 1940s? We even had the halter ones, doll, and no one could afford stockings because the nylon was all going to the war effort. I'm not from the 1800s or some shit."

Karen puts a hand up to her mouth and laughs. “I am so sorry.” Letting her hand fall from her mouth, she rests her arm on Bucky’s shoulder. It had been less a confusion of timelines and more worrying about what he thought of her for any reason. Karen feels so comfortable with Bucky and she doesn’t want to spoil it over something as silly as a bra.

Did I break the spell? She smiles up at Bucky sadly, running her fingertips down the back of his neck lightly. He can’t help it if she spoiled the mood, but the desire burning inside of Karen really hopes that she didn’t.

Spell's still here, Bucky promises. He just wanted to say it out loud because it was so ridiculous and it amuses him that she thought he'd never been with someone who wore something like what she's wearing right now. He'd take Karen any way he got her, honestly, but he's not a prude from the 1800s either.

Just had to laugh at the idea of you thinking I'm really that old, he teases. Cause I'm really not. I've lived in your world for a little while. Besides, it's all the same when you're naked, isn't it?

You’re something else. She shakes and ducks her head with a smile, blonde hair falling in front of her eyes in wisps. Her hands toy with the hem of his shirt. Now, I guess you unwrap me. Karen looks up with a smirk. She isn’t a gift and she certainly doesn’t come with a receipt. She’s just a woman standing in front of him in a blue halter dress, eager and waiting.

You’re the first guy I’ve felt this safe being like this with. She slips out of her ballerina flats and runs a soft, bare sole up his leg.

Bucky knows his way around dresses like this from his day and this one isn't much different than the others he's seen. He's not getting tripped up on any strange and complicated undergarments, anyway, and that's the only concern with his left hand. Things like this dress? Easy. Lots of tiny buttons? More difficult.

Karen's one of the more beautiful women he's ever seen in his life and the look of appreciation he gives her has nothing to do with the drinks they'd had and everything to do with the kind of women he's always been attracted to both then and now.

All right, go ahead. Get me out of these clothes.

She smiles, looking him over for a moment before slipping his shirt over his head. Her eyes briefly examine his left arm and then she kisses him on the lips.

The things you’ve been through…

Karen then tugs at the waist of his pants, leaving him to kick them all the way down and off. She slowly steps back toward her bed.

Get naked and c’mere…

Bucky has been through more shit than anyone should ever have to go through and he has to carry it with him as a weight every day of his life. He doesn't want to carry it in here, though, so he kicks off his pants and draws up close to Karen and, by extension, the bed.

Let me kiss you again?

Bucky likes kissing and not just a prelude to other things and he hopes Karen will indulge it from him.
