[menaces]

what's up sluts

no seriously I'm looking for people who need chroma and have low standards

i'm not looking for romance or friendship or whatever if it happens great if not we don't have to talk we just have to fuck

i'm male, 30s, no preferences

i've attached a photo of myself and a list of things i won't do, everything else is good just let me know what you want

okay with one night stands or ongoing arrangements

non-sexual moonlacing ok too but i'm going to limit those slots because i live with two dumb romantic introverts and my sister who's like 12 and these fools are going to starve

(the photo is shoulders down, the subject hiking up his shirt one-handed to reveal well toned abs. there's a recently healed scar running horizontal through his stomach, but that's probably not important.
the attached list is blank)

Action

[firstkissofsteel]

Daozhang? [She ‘looks’ up from where she’d been playing some kind of sound game on of communicator, head tilting curious.]

Didn’t you say it looked like da ge posted something on the network thing? What’s it say? Or was it not him?

action forever and ever

[mingyues]

[ he is glad she is blind because his expression falters; surprise at the question and then he flushes, gaping like a fish before answering.

oh yes, so glad she is blind ]

No, it was him — he's

He is... looking for a job.

[firstkissofsteel]

[Oh dear. She's really going to have to look at this post later if it's making xiao xingchen look like THAT.]

A job? [She wrinkles her nose.] What kind of skills does he have? What kind of job is he looking for?

[mingyues]

[ this post is making all of his pent-up wants, plus repression plus... everything else sit very uncomfortably at the front of his mind. of course, he first has to protect a-qing's innocence.

or so he thinks. ]

I - I am sure Xue Yang has skills. [ pause ] He's good with knives? [ no wait, that's not really a good thing, is it? ] Wait. That sounds - never mind, I - he is just asking about.

Nothing in particular. Maybe we should... come up with a job for him.

[firstkissofsteel]

I don’t think his knife skills will really get him far here. [Or rather, they’d get him TOO far?? Hm.] Daozhang, you’re sounding so weird... Are you sure you’re okay?

[Come up with a job for him...]

Target practice?

[mingyues]

Maybe he could do... wood carving with his knife skills. [ his expression is that akin to flailing for xiao xingchen but he keeps his tone as steady as possible. little does he know his face gives him entirely away.

no, he's not okay. this is a weird, weird feeling inside and he doesn't like it but —

a-qing, now you made him laugh. a half-choked laugh that is silenced and quickly covered up with a fake cough. not that it would fool a-qing. ]

You- you're not suggesting we use him as target practice, A-Qing?

[firstkissofsteel]

Carvings if what, though... [Surely someone out there wants finely carved wooden dicks though, right?

She grins at his laugh though—totally heard that!—and shrugs casually] Maybe not us but I’m sure other people would like to get a try! Besides, maybe I need the practice!

[She somehow says this with a straight face before beginning to giggle a little.]

[mingyues]

Wooden toys maybe? [ ... wooden dicks sounds legit though. ]

Do you need the practice? You have very sharp hearing, I am not sure your brother stands a chance but. [ he is considering something here... ] Would you like to learn some swordsmanship skills?

You cannot practice them on Xue Yang.

[firstkissofsteel]

[Yea that’s right Xiao Xingchen be on her side. She could totally whoop Xue Yang in a fight.

Still the offer surprises her, though his quick amendment that she couldn’t practice on Xue Yang is met with slightly disbelieving laughter]

I... guess I could. But I’m blind. [Well okay not actually but he doesn’t know that, and also she’s certainly seen him fight even while blind, so it’s clearly possible. Seems like a lot of wrk though.]

What if I just end up hurting everyone around instead on accident?

[mingyues]

[ it...would be a lot of work, rip. ] You do not need to worry about that, we would start training with wooden swords, nothing more dangerous.

[ he looks thoughtful, then shakes his head as if he is having some inner monologue about this entire idea. ] Being blind just means we need to train in a different way, it would not be impossible but perhaps more difficult than traditional teaching methods.

Ah, but this is just an idea. I am sure there are other things here to do that are more fun.

[firstkissofsteel]

[She wonders just how qualified he is to teach bond sword fighting when he...doesn’t even have h th e memories of being blind himself to guide him. Hm.]

No, no! I want to! Anything daozhang teaches me will be at least a little fun! And maybe one day I’ll be good enough to kick Da ge’s butt!

[mingyues]

[ who knows! but he is at least willing to try and figure it out for a-qing, so that she can protect herself if needed. not that he plans on ever leaving her in a position where she is vulnerable but this place is unpredictable.

he laughs. ]

Please, do not injure your Da-ge.
