You know, Tara, I have a couple RL friends who play bass and drums in a Beatles tribute band here in Iowa. Went to one of their shows last week actually. You guys' quotes about the Beatles consequently now has "Paperback Writer" stuck in my head. :p Sadly they only play a couple times a year anymore because the other two members (not my friends) are brothers who decided to move out to LA to try to become "professional" musicians, though it sounds like they aren't doing anything more or less than they were locally here. They only come back once a year to visit so they try to schedule a couple of gigs in or around there.
And gh, there's a couple ways we can play this. Either way we need to exit stage left as we try to keep the GESB PG-13 for the most part...maybe R sometimes, but never XXX. So, #1) we can have our guys exit stage left and just have the lights "dim out" for awhile, OR.... #2) we find a private medium to text-RP on somehow and actually roleplay the events (which I am entirely willing and able to do if you want). I prefer option #2 personally as it doesn't leave us with nothing to do with our characters in GESB (because they're mysteriously gone), it makes it a more realistic development experience for the characters, and most importantly...it's damn entertaining, at least for me. I actually have a phone buddy I RP sext with about once a month or so, and I used to do sexy online text-chat RP's all the time in my younger days. My avatar was a bit of a virtual slut. XD
Though I will admit sexy RP as an (almost)human instead of a fur would be a fairly new experience for me. (I might have done it once in the past, but usually I'm a 6'3" tall {not including the horn} anthropomorphic unicorn during such activities...and yes, I'm dead serious...on a related note, that phone buddy is an anthro doberman).
Anyway, I'd be more than happy to play out a private, NSFW RP session for Rathien and Merc, but I completely understand if that would make you uncomfortable...whi ch is why option #1 is there. Up to you man, no pressure...and it's perfectly fine if you wanna go with #1, or if you have a completely different idea that you wanna throw at me that I didn't think of. ^^
