It isn't any creepier than pretending to be someone's father!!

But it's true, I hadn't given it much thought until coming here
Obedience in general is nice to toy with, and that fell naturally into it, what with your tail wagging
it looked like something out of a charming photograph of a pet
But yes I could give orders or you could give me orders, it doesn't matter to me
It's nice to experiment with it

You could get praise for being unkind, too
I could revel in being mistreated if that suits your fancy
Or if you're the noble savior.... well
If we're sharing secrets
When I was much younger I used to think sometimes about being tied up and left alone, sometimes it was by someone specific but sometimes it didn't matter
What mattered was I was helpless
But in any case I liked to imagine being saved from that

I've gotten to enact similar things over the years but never that one exactly

_{[ the one, singular thing he gets from this: ]}

I COULD BE THE BAD GUY AND THE GOOD GUY

That could work.

Do you know ropework at all? You seem like an outdoorsy type.

yeah!!!!
and when i was a cabin boy on england's ship i learned a lot of stuff about ropes

like the only useful thing i can remember when i was a colony lolllll

That includes untying them too, right?

If you lie to me I swear

i mean if worse comes to worse we can just cut them
right

That could be exciting in theory but it is not for beginners

At all

I could demonstrate the ropework on you, untie you, and you could repeat what you saw
If that doesn't bother you
Otherwise ropes may not be the best option

Isn't there something specific you like to think about if you're daydreaming about something like that?
I told you mine
Don't be rude

_{[ he’s so excited he has to actually phone call Austria about this, sorry. ]}

DUDE, I CAN TOTALLY DO A BATMAN THEME WITH THIS!! LISTEN UP!!!
I can be the Joker first, right? Like a hostage situation!! And beat the shit out of you!! You said you wanted to be helpless, right?? Then later, I can come back and save you as Batman!!

[There's a long silence except for a couple of noises where Austria is clearly about to say something, but the words don't form. Until finally]

...I'm flattered.

I--

We'd need to discuss any... harm, but -- planning things thoroughly, that is to say --

[god the awkward pauses are why he was better off texting, america!!!!! saying things out loud is

it's rubbish is what it is]

Not my face. All right? Or hands.

[his needs are few, okay]

...I'm not intimately familiar with your modern folklore but ... the clothing is a very particular style, isn't it?

...I don't really like the smell of latex.

[what the fuck version were you watching austria]

Hahaha what the fuck! Batman is a superhero! In all black! Or maybe blue.. I guess it depends if you want Adam West Batman or Christian Bale Batman fucking you or not..

Oh, but I can gag you if you like stuff like that! I also know how to choke people out!

_{[ ??????????? ]}

I mean, it’s whatever you want as long as I get to pretend! You just tell me what you want!

Right, and... is it latex? I don't think it's latex now that I'm .... picturing

[uh]

Spandex. Spandex was the word I meant.

[no it wasn't, he knows his fabrics. spandex doesn't smell like anything.]

Christian Bale was in Little Women, wasn't he?

[He barely has time to nod and consider being gagged when the second part of that thought comes barreling past America's lips]

...I don't doubt you know how, I think all of our kind is adept at something like that, but -- in a safe manner!? I--I mean I know we heal more easily of course but I don't want to end up explaining anything to a doctor...!

I can wear whatever you wanna see me in, man!

_{[ Woah. That is.. a very generous offer coming from him. ]}

And whatever you want done to you.. I just think it'll be tons of fun and we can talk about as much as you like until you feel comfortable with it if it's something you'd wanna do.

I know I totally would be into something like that..!

Y-you don't mean that, truly.

[Austria's smart enough to go easy, but he knows there's no way America could grasp what that offer could entail.

There were points earlier when Austria wasn't sure if America was ready to delve into things that would involve a more secure sense of trust than other fantasies, but that reassurance allows Austria to relax a little bit. Especially after their initial misunderstanding, he's been extremely hesitant to go with his intuition with America. But...]

I... I can send pictures of things if I come across them, if you'd like. I don't know if you have a preference for roles, I... I tend to be all right with either. Ah -- leading or following, that is to say...

If you wanted to follow, you'd need to be absolutely clear what you want. I remember when... when you held my hands and made vulgar comments about them. And then panicked. I don't want that to happen again and I don't want you to be uncomfortable either. I won't be doing anything if it's merely hinted at, is that clear?

[And now he's dug himself into a hole, because that means Austria has to cut it out with the euphemisms too. At least if he doesn't want to be hypocritical.

Realizing this, he sighs, and there's a long pause before he says, timidly, quietly]

wouldyouwearaplugwithahorsetail

Huh? What was that?

_{[ He thought he heard him correctly, but also, he doesn't know what Austria means even if he heard him loud and clear. ]}

I mean, if we're going with this scenario, it should be fitting! But I guess I'm pretty open to anything otherwise. I like to show off! Um..

Maybe there's some exceptions.. like.. I don't know if I'd like wearing woman's clothes, but I've never really tried.

[grunt of exasperation]

A plug. It's placed in the backside and it has a decorative horse tail on it. They're very elegant. It doesn't matter. Forget I said it.

[cold sweat. can you hear him rubbing his forehead?

He listens, though, still taking this seriously.] ...That doesn't surprise me, given what I know about the history of undergarments at your place. [what] But there's flexibility with that. It doesn't need to be a transformation. For my own preferences I've never been fond of looking like anyone but myself, but if a négligée suits my mood I won't rule it out.

[Why is he... so easy to talk to? It's weird. Maybe, with America having very little frame of reference, Austria is less nervous about being judged. He's not used to talking about this so plainly. Even with people closest to him, he still feels the need to be indirect.]

I.. what? Why would I plug up my back side with something elegant?

_{[ Clearly, this is something he hasn't really explored before. Sorry, Austria. He doesn't sound judgmental.. just really confused. ]}

.. Okay, well! That sounds good then! When do you wanna do this? We can talk about it a lot more in person too.

_{[ It sounds like they're just hanging out but.. yeah. ]}

Why wouldn't you?

[the response is immediate and equally as bewildered...]

For your idea? ... Could you send me a reference photo for what you might like? I could see about making you a costume. I would need to take your measurements, if that's all right.

_{[ ???????
Austria, he hasn't played with a butt plug yet. He doesn't know what it's all about!! But anyway, it sounds like Austria wants to help out and he's down for it. Only.. he's a little shy about giving his actual measurements out. ]}

Uhhhh, hang on, I'll send a pic.

_{[ There's a pic. ]}

Like that! But you can improvise it however you want if you wanna make it sexier for me..!

[It's less about the fact that it's a plug and more that Austria wouldn't accept anything less than elegance, especially there...!

But he takes a look at the picture--]

--Oh, that's what you wore for Halloween that year, I remember it.

[He caught that he's ignoring the request for measurements, and there's a pause before he finally continues]

If you give me one of your shirts and slacks I can use those as a guide. But don't forget I have a tailoring area in the back room at my sandwich shop, I do this sort of thing regularly. I'm home right now if you want to bring something over.

A-and talk, I suppose.

[He has some things of his own that are just... easier to show than to describe verbally.]

Really? Whoa.. I'll come over!! And I don't mind you taking measurements! Why would I? I have such a rockin' bod!! Haha, I mean, duh, you know that by now.

_{[ Maybe if he acts okay Austria won't really notice his insecurity.. despite the time he was insecure about it the first time they had an encounter. You're not fooling anyone, America. ]}

I've never had anyone make me cool clothes before!! England made a bunch of lame stuff when I was little but that's it.

I do know that.

[It's said flatly, but not sarcastically. More like it's clearly accompanied by an image, and that image is definitely a fond one.]

Come over, then. I admit spandex isn't something I work very often with but I think I can manage.

[After hanging up, he realizes there's probably stuff he needs to hide if he wants to afford France any privacy while showing America some of the things he might be interested in. So there's a little scrambling, and when America does come in, Austria might look a little frazzled, but he has a small shopping bag set aside with some things he'd picked out to discuss.]

Here. Raise your arms.

[something occurs to him]

...Would you be wearing clown makeup for the Joker portion of this scene? I... I can't say I've ever incorporated that into play before...

_{[ America does take note of the frazzled look, cause that's what he does. He hyper-fixates on the unimportant thing. He smiles warmly, though, and lifts his arms as told. His chest and neck are broader than most, and his waist and hips are on the thicker side.

He stifles some laughter. ]}

D'uh, ch'yeah. Course I would. It wouldn't be the Joker without it. But it won't be cheesy clown make up. I promise.

_{[ He's looking intently at Austria's face, still smiling, enough for those little dimples to show. ]}

[...he has to take an ankle measurement again because he was thrown off by the image of America in clown makeup. Cheesy or not cheesy, it's... new? No, wait he might have done something adjacent at some point. Masks at masked balls can be very fancy, after all.

the dimples get him.]

Perhaps something styled similarly to a Venetian mask would do nicely.

[Is he missing the point? Maybe. It's something to think about certainly. For now though, he finishes up with his note taking.]

That should do it. I, ah... rather than explain it over the telephone I figured it would be easiest to simply show you some of the things I already have. You can take a look in that bag if you'd like.

[His face turns red and he tilts his head away, though he's peeking out of the corner of his eye. In the bag America will find a collar and leash, the plug with the tail he described, an absurdly expensive looking vibrating egg and

a bullwhip. have fun with that one, indiana jones.]
