Hybrid Kingdom PSL
{ the “beach” episode }
for some more light-hearted/chaotic stuff happening at the hotel throughout the plot
POOL
basically current timeline, pre-fake war
And so, after a meal of fried tofu on rice and extremely pricy sake, Inari granted Osiris's wish. It takes him another day to work up the courage, but two days later Osiris finally steps out onto the outdoor pool deck in nothing but swim shorts and sandals with a broad-brimmed hat and sunglasses to shade his face. Maybe he's still a bit shy about this whole thing, but he hasn't been unscarred since before Horus was conceived and has never seen this form in such pristine condition.]
I want to do something silly with Captain Serious
It isn't until he gets to the pool deck and sees Osiris for himself that he realizes... No scars.
How...?
Emmanuel rushes closer, doing nothing at all to hide how openly his eyes move over nearly every inch of that exposed skin as if the answer is going to appear to him there. Never mind how it must look to the nosy nellies who brought him down here in the first place. Bafflement is painted plainly over his face, his mouth working before he can actually articulate a couple equally puzzled words. ))
What...? How...?
no subject
He takes a deep breath and slides off his sunglasses to set them on the brim of his hat so he can look Emmanuel in the eyes. This is a huge moment for him, one that he's delighted he can invite Emmanuel into. With a beaming smile, he simply says:]
I had a wish granted.
no subject
The confusion begins to abate and the realization of how intensely he’s been drinking in the sight of Osiris’s so very bare body takes its place. He feels his ears go warm before the flush springs to his face and something much more heated in his eyes (there’s that desire Osiris was looking for). Not only has he been utterly ogling Osiris, he’s done it out here in front of so many others! His throat go tight and he manages to squeak (literally squeak) a quiet: ))
...I see…
no subject
I hope you don’t mind if I thank you for your unspoken compliment. [Teasing? Only a little, honestly.] One of our newer arrivals, the Japanese god Inari, is willing to grant certain wishes in return for material offerings. Have you met him yet? He’s about your height, with ginger blond hair and quite striking eyes.
no subject
Seeing you is the only pleasure I've had today.
(( Is he...? Is he trying to sound flirtatious? No, not intentionally. Alas. The priest is down bad. Someone call 911, he's fallen and he can't get up. ))
no subject
Do you plan to stay awhile and enjoy the sun?
[Unfortunately, they couldn't go without being spotted forever - someone on the opposite end of the pool has noticed Osiris's unusually coquettish behavior and wolf-whistles at them. There's a group in the circular pool and another at the deep end, of whom anyone could be the culprit.]
Oh, honestly. [He shakes his head with a huff.] I'd also be happy to join you inside if everyone insists on being children.
no subject
(( He’d like to taje his shoes off and fling himself into the pool to cool down, actually. But he’s also aware of the optics. It would draw attention to their interaction and fuel speculation. And honestly, he is staring. It’s an embarrassment.
Then comes the whistle which makes him jolt where he stands. So he’s not doing a very good job of hiding it. How can anyone expect him to? He’s seen precious little more of Osiris than his head and hands (he barely recalls the god tearing off his shirt in the bathroom [has anyone ever been so grateful for a head injury?]) and now he’s in nothing but swimwear... ))
You’d have to put on something more.
(( Then, in little more than a whisper. ))
You’re nearly naked.
no subject
He heads back to his lounger and puts his light button-down back on (shooting a glare at the opposite side of the pool when someone boos), then slings the unused towel over his shoulder and returns to Emmanuel's side.]
I may have become too modest for this level of exposure, honestly. I didn't intend for it to be a performance. [He often wore little more than a linen kilt and jeweled collar in his true form... how things have changed.] Besides, as the day of our first true battle grows ever closer, time spent with you is far more valuable than such simple leisure.
no subject
Once the god is more covered (a relief!), Emmanuel moves beside him, but doesn't lead them more than few steps when he judges Osiris's shoulder with his own. ))
Push me, please.
(( Into the pool. He really needs to cool down in a way he doesn't think the hotel's air conditioning can help with. ))

And burst out laughing.]

Brat.
no subject
After the initial splash, Siwan wipes the water from his eyes and fights against the continued ripples to make his way over to where Seb landed, laughing all the while. Seb's always so happy when he's in the water. It's a little contagious. ))
Pre-fake war
Today's a little different. His wife is away for travel so he's been able to plan for at least a long weekend here at the hotel. It's been nice to simply lounge at the pool without worrying that someone might wonder why he's there. For once, he could say he's a guest and ergo belongs there. Mostly, he's stretched out on his lounge chair, dark swim trunks and a light polo-styled shirt on, watching someone else (Sobek) having a lot of fun in the water. ))
no subject
Sobek doesn't mention whether or not he's human, but David has a hunch. Very few of the supernatural beings here look much older than 25 and The Boyfriend is at least pushing 40. That's what leads David to grab the lounger beside him after storming off on Lucas yet again and finally ask:]
Hey... you're human too, aren't you?
no subject
Siwan blinks at the question. It still seems odd, even knowing what he knows. But the confusion is incredibly short lived, a gentle kind of smile replacing it as he nods. ))
I am, yes. Very human.
(( He sits up a bit to stretch out a hand in greeting. ))
Siwan.
no subject
David. [He keeps the handshake quick since his own hand is still chilly from the pool.] I'm not xenophobic or anything, I swear, but... man, sometimes I just need to talk to another normal person for awhile. This is the most humbling place on the damn planet.
no subject
It's a little unfair how attractive they all are.
(( Said extremely quietly. ))
no subject
[So it's not just David who can't stop noticing - even Siwan, who's dating (having an affair with) one of them can barely handle it! He's so excited by this revelation that he maybe blurts out his response at top volume after Siwan took such care to be quiet, but he does at least drop his voice back to a conspiratorial volume afterwards.]
Right? And in all different ways, too! Like - well, I don't need to tell you about Sobek, but Horus is this big, buff warrior-looking guy with the scar and everything, and then Osiris is prettier than any girl I've ever met but somehow still handsome too? And the newer guy... Anubis? Basically the reason cuteness aggression as a concept exists, I want to hug him and punch him into the sun at the same time. That's without even getting into the Japanese ones, or the fucking devil.
[So, yes. David is a very safe space for talking about good-looking men, Siwan. And no, he didn't bring up angels, but that's just because he's very angry at Lucas right now.]
no subject
And please keep your voice down, David! ))
...The devil??
no subject
[David's utterly thrilled to be able to deliver this news, especially to someone who's just as shocked as he was when he found out, and it shows.]
I haven't met him yet, but I just assume he's probably hot too.
no subject
I suppose he'd stick out if he wasn't.
