aurum tourism

[temporal_affairs]

There is a Janepoint in each of the capitals, including this one in Forks. It has its own building, and in it two vampires are waiting - Nathan, because his mate is incoming, and Alice, because she's supposed to check if the guests are going to need to avoid meeting anybody for matey reasons (Jellybean, and Cam, are both coming and both in potential danger of being mated to).

But she can't see anything till they show up.

Cam arrives first, despite having been a later addition to the expedition - no one was distracting him with last-minute goodbye makeouts - and she clears him and he waits around for Jellybean.

"Cool. I'm gonna go chat with Golden and see if her husband can in fact behold me without being as disturbed as he is by girl Bells," Cam says, and he teleports away.

"Sure, I'll show Addy," says Jellybean with a shrug. "You wanna get your nibbles first?"

[temporal_affairs]

"Well," says Alice, "I'm leaving." And she does.

"I assume you can actually let me bite you?" Nathan asks. "Trying and failing while desperately wanting to, not my idea of a great time."

[pythbox]

Jellybean grins. "Yeah, just a sec," he says, "I should switch my wards over anyway."

He stands there looking thoughtful for a moment.

"Okay, that'll do it. You ready?"

[temporal_affairs]

Nathan spreads his arms in a display of readiness. "Rar."

[pythbox]

Grinning, Jellybean flares his aura.

He is suddenly the most delicious thing on Earth, sugary sweet and flavoured with a cascade of nuts and fruits and chocolate and cream.

[temporal_affairs]

Nathan is in no condition to appreciate the fine details of his bouquet. He's just biting and growling and swallowing.

[pythbox]

He also stacked up his regeneration like the Joker's, so his supply of candy-flavoured blood is endless.

[temporal_affairs]

Nathan eventually stops, but it takes even longer than it does when the Joker singers himself; the aura isn't advertising through standard channels and it takes longer for stomach discomfort to override intense want.

He takes a step back, inhaling deeply. "Wow."

[pythbox]

"Fun?" he inquires, closing down the aura again and rubbing at the already-healed wounds on his neck.

[temporal_affairs]

"Tasty," Nathan says. "Intensely drinkable. Massive sensory head trip. Did the vampire one of you guys get his teeth into you?"

[pythbox]

"Nah, he was being squishy for a bit," Jellybean explains. "Liked the way I tasted human-style just fine, though."

[temporal_affairs]

Nathan laughs. "Well. Welcome to Aurum."

[pythbox]

Jellybean laughs. "I'm definitely feeling the love! Hey, you think there'll be anybody else who'll want a bite?"

[temporal_affairs]

"Addy almost certainly. Let's see, who else... not the Imperial Family, I don't think, except maybe Emmett or Jasper, but plenty of the staff'd probably take you up on it."

[pythbox]

"It's pretty fun being a chew toy," he says cheerfully. "I wanna do some more of it."

[temporal_affairs]

"If you talk to the Princess she'll issue a general announcement for you. Well, probably."

[pythbox]

Jellybean beams and kisses Nathan's cheek, then snuggleattacks the Joker.

[manofmyword]

"I'm being ferociously cuddled!" he declares. "Mm, somebody's in a mood. Sweetheart, we're gonna go fuck, you wanna come with?"

[temporal_affairs]

Nathan consults himself. "Yeah, all right," he says after a moment, "but don't form any particular expectations about me-on-Jellybean action that looks more like sex than violence."

[pythbox]

"We won't," says Jellybean. "Anyway, I'm definitely up for some more violence."

[temporal_affairs]

"I am a willing supplier."

[pythbox]

Jellybean giggles and hugs him.

[temporal_affairs]

Nathan picks him right up off the ground. "Babe," he says, "this'd be a good time to teleport us to our room."

[manofmyword]

He does that.
