010. Caught in the act

Caught In The Act Meme
(Extended Edition)

We all masturbate, it's nothing to be ashamed of. It's also something most prefer to keep private. But sometimes, people forget to knock while we're in the middle of things, and awkwardness ensues.

* Post with your character's name and fandom in the subject line
* Others reply, stumbling in on you.
* You pick a reaction from the list below. (Or roll 1-10!)
* PROFIT!

(Warning: possible triggers beyond!)

REACTIONS:
1) Embarrassment Yeah, someone just caught you in a very private act and you kind of wish the ground would swallow you up. Now.

2) Anger How dare someone barge in on you without knocking! You'll give them a piece of your mind right now.

3) Excitement Exhibitionism happens to be a major turn-on for you, so you'll just continue~ Maybe even ask them to give you a hand, hehehe...

4) Apathy Big deal, it's not like they've been living in a bubble where they never knew masturbation existed, and if they were they had to find out about it sometime.

5) Squick Either it was a family member who just walked in on you or you just feel so utterly dirty at having been caught doing something so personal.

6) Delayed reaction You didn't even notice they were there until after you finished.

7) Derailed reaction Oh no you've been--what is that on their head? Wait, the world's ending now? D-did you just see that unicorn? Worry about being caught later, figure out what the hell is going on first.

8) Frustration COME ON, EVERY TIME!

9) Relief Thank GOODNESS someone came by! Otherwise you'd have had to stop and go grab that toy/pillow/remote for the annoying stereo yourself. Also they could maybe swap discs because this movie isn't really doing it for you. What do you mean it's inappropriate? It's not like you're asking them to watch.

10) Wildcard! You know the rules!

He flailed wildly until he found a blanket to cover himself with. No one entered the captain's cabin without knocking, except his steward. And Styles would have had no reason to be there at that precise time. And then he realized... this was a woman. A woman, on his ship. And he'd been naked and... and... He turned bright red. "I... M-Miss, m-m-might I ask what you're doing on my ship?"

	Mary glanced back, thankful to see he was now covered. "I was rather hoping you would tell me," she said. "You are in charge, are you not? I thought if anyone would know how I came to be taken here, it would be you." She tried her best not to let her eyes move from his face as she addressed him, and was mostly successful.

	"We have been at sea for a week. There is no manner in which you could have arrived here after we left port." He stared at her in confusion. "I..." He shifted uncomfortably. "Might I request that you step outside for a moment? I believe we could continue this discussion more... easily... after I dress." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I was at home, I was there one minute and then here the next."

She felt her cheeks flush at his words, and before she could stop herself, found her eyes wandering down. He was covered now of course, but her mind rather unhelpfully provided her with an image of how he'd looked when she first entered.

"I - of course," she said, turning away quickly. "I do apologise." She left quickly, leaning against the door once she'd closed it behind her, and attempting to compose herself.

	He threw his uniform on, not emerging from the cabin until he was impeccably garbed and presentable. He opened the door with a bow. "Miss, if you would care to enter?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She nodded, forcing a smile on her face as she entered. He was fully dressed, perfectly. Still very handsome, of course. "I suppose I should introduce myself. Lady Mary Crawley," she said, holding out her hand to him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"My lady." He took her hand. "Commander Horatio Hornblower. Captain of His Majesty's Ship Hotspur." He gestured, indicating his ship. "I... apologize for... my earlier appearance." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Mary took a deep breath, trying her best to avoid thinking about what she'd seen. It was proving rather difficult. "No, I apologise for barging in," she said. "I was just - confused about my strange arrival here, and I was sure you would know how it happened." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Horatio Hornblower \| Horatio Hornblower \| OTA h_hornblower 2012-01-16 04:50 pm UTC (link)
	"Please, have a seat." He pulled out a chair for her. "I would offer some coffee, but... with my steward's cooking, that would be dangerous," he added with a short laugh. "I have to admit, though, my lady, I am just as confused as you. But in the interim, you are welcome to my cabin. I shall bed down with the men." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

She took a seat, laughing lightly. She very much appreciated the attempt to lighten the mood.

"I - thank you, Commander," she said, flushing again. "I am sorry to put you out."

She shook her head. "I cannot understand it. I was in my room - I felt ill - and was lying down for a while before I needed to dress for dinner. When I woke, I was on your ship - and rather far from Yorkshire, I presume."

	"Yes. Quite a large distance," he said softly. It made no sense. How a noblewoman could suddenly just appear on his ship, in the middle of the ocean... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Mary looked around the room. Something seemed to be strange about it - well, something else seemed to be strange. But she couldn't quite put her finger on it. "I should send a telegram home," she said. "So they don't worry too much back home. Though how I will explain it, I don't know." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Horatio Hornblower \| Horatio Hornblower \| OTA h_hornblower 2012-01-16 05:46 pm UTC (link)
	"A what?" He stared at her for a moment. 'Tele' was a greek root for distance. He frowned, considering. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"A telegram," Mary said, her unease growing. "I would have assumed a war ship would have the ability to send one."

She glanced around the room. "And perhaps gas if not electric lighting. And possibly... Less wood."

She looked at Horatio again, taking in exactly what he was wearing. "And - your clothes," she said. "This - this is all very strange, even worse than I had imagined."

	He shot her a concerned glance. "Lady Mary, are you feeling alright? I fear your ordeal must have confused you." Of course his ship was wooden. What else would it be? Metal sank. Sails couldn't propel that much mass. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She shook her head. "I - I don't know," she said. "I - I think -" She looked at him. He was going to think she was mad. "I have to ask you something, and it will sound very strange. What - what is the date?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He thought for a moment. At sea, sometimes the days blurred together. "February third, 1803." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Mary felt the blood drain from her face, her hands gripping the chair to keep herself upright. "Goodness," she murmured. "1803? But - when I was home, when I drifted off, it was 1913. How is any of this possible?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I think you need to lie down, my lady," he said softly. She was obviously a bit worked up. And confused. "Please, make yourself at home." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"No," she said. "I don't - I know how it sounds, but - I swear, I am telling the truth. And I'm not - there is nothing wrong with my mind," she said, defiantly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Horatio Hornblower \| Horatio Hornblower \| OTA h_hornblower 2012-01-16 06:59 pm UTC (link)
	He looked at her doubtfully. There was no way that that could be the truth. She was quite obviously mad. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Horatio Hornblower \| Horatio Hornblower \| OTA quite_contrary 2012-01-16 07:13 pm UTC (link)
	She shook her head. "Don't look at me like that," she said, sternly. "I am Lady Mary Crawley. I was born at Downton Abbey on the twelfth of December 1891. I - I don't know how I arrived here, but it's true. It's all true." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Horatio Hornblower \| Horatio Hornblower \| OTA h_hornblower 2012-01-16 07:14 pm UTC (link)
	"That is impossible," he said firmly. "The year is 1803. There is no way whatsoever to make time flow backwards." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"It is also impossible for someone to be instantly transported from one place to another, yet moments ago you seemed to accept that had happened," she pointed out.

She took a deep breath. "You have been at sea for ten days. I have clearly not been on this ship for ten days. Even if I had hidden away on board I would show some outward sign of doing so.." She smoothed her skirt almost pointedly - slightly creased from where she had been lying on the bed but otherwise pristine. Everything about her was, actually - from her hair to her fingernails.
