Cuddly, affectionate, wholesome femme romance~!

Rumi grunted as her ship's hull rumbled from another direct hit. She spun her wheel and the vessel banked to the left. The swarm of leeches flashed by her windshield, so close she could hear their chittering through the glass. Again she wondered why they weren't latching on.

She heard the thumping of Warden's flak cannon as the flock passed into the automaton's field of view. "Yes! Purge the sky rats!" its tinny voice gleefully cried. Rumi desperately hoped it wouldn't slip into its haywire mode and fly out to punch the creatures. If she wasn't concentrating on piloting, she would shout it a reminder to stay grounded.

Having rotated the skyship enough, Rumi turned her wheel back into a neutral position, just in time to avoid hitting the cloud of leech guts Warden had created. A few leeches had been ripped apart, but the majority of the swarm was still intact. She gritted her teeth as she scanned the clouds and wondered where her escort was.

Miaki approached the table, the paper in her hand crinkling as she unfolded it. "Everyone! I... have a plan!" She held up the page and glanced around the shadowed room. Then before anyone could get a proper look at it, she slapped it onto the table.

It was a drawing of sorts, a collection of ragged scribbles that looked like it could be the product of someone who had too much caffeine or sugar just before making it. Neither option was an impossibility with Miaki, who gestured at the work. "This... is a blueprint!" she declared. A voice rang out from the room - "Deer god...!" Miaki rolled her eyes.

"There's more," she added, which was met with another exclamation - "No...!" The presenter was quiet for a moment as she recomposed herself. She splayed her hands on the table and leaned in as she addressed the others. "This is a map of the Vault. We're going to break in."

"I'll be really honest. My head is pounding way too hard for me to remember what I wrote, let alone explain it, so I made copies of my diagram for all of you." Miaki reached under the table and pulled a stack of said copies from who knows where. She placed the stack down and slid it towards the middle of the gathering. "I expect all of you to look over and memorize it tonight. If all goes well, we'll have the Nugget of Chimkin in our possession by dinnertime tomorrow. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to apply eye drops, and drink a copious amount of soda." With a final nod Miaki spun around, stumbled, recovered, and exited the room.

So imagine fantasy civilizations, but they're spread across floating islands in the sky and use 'punk-type technology. Magic exists, but it's rare. We'll be playing one or two crews of skyships as they make their living in this wild space.

⟡ Inspired by Sunless Skies, Dredge, Voidtrain, Black Skylands, and Bright (that's a lot of titles!)
⟡Two population varieties for sentient races
    ⟡ Humans only
    ⟡ Humans + Fantasy races
⟡ Three varieties of possible enemies
    ⟡ Monsters (horror-type creatures)
    ⟡ Sentient pirates
    ⟡ Mythical fantasy creatures (like dragons)
⟡ Three potential character setups (you can suggest something else)
    ⟡ We play two characters who pilot a single skyship
    ⟡ We play two characters who have their own tiny skyskips
    ⟡ We play two ships who co-operate, with each ship having a small crew of up to three
        ⟡If we do this, I have a crew in mind consisting of a sentient magic-powered automaton and a fairy.
        ⟡Despite having multiple characters, only our two main ones will be involved in dirty scenes. I don't do group seggs~

I want to lean into playful idiocy with this prompt! I've watched several anime rom-coms, and I freaking love how cute and silly they get. This is a very tentative idea, but I'd love to brainstorm and figure out what we can do with it! I hope to lean into slice-of-life with our characters as a young couple, either just established or meeting for the first time, and go through their trials as they get close and eventually live together. We'll break up the monotony of real-world living with stupidily and/or sexily silly scenes, and hopefully some kind of twist on the world itself!

⟡ Inspired by rom-coms in general, not just the anime I've seen!
⟡ This is meant to be a less serious prompt, where we get to let loose with silliness while having a cute, wholesome romance~
⟡ I'd prefer for this world to have some sort of twist to it so it's not just an imitation of ours, but that's up to you~

If you're unfamiliar with this game, here's a summary: This is a post-apocalyptic, sci-fi, dystopian setting where humanity lives underground after being decimated by invading alien robots. The human army consists of regular human commanders who lead squads of only female androids that are apparently originally human (convenient for our pairing, no?). If that sounds interesting, feel free to ask me for more details, or to do research yourself. Honestly I don't intend to stick too close to canon and want to use OCxOC for this setting. I'd like for our characters to be a Nikke-Commander pair that we follow. The specifics of their missions are up for discussion.

If you're unfamiliar with this game, I'm unfortunately not able to help you much. This one is... quite a bit more convoluted than Nikke. If you don't know it, you'll probably want to pass on this. Anyway, we'll probably be doing some kind of Agent-Proxy pairing, though I'm not sure about the specifics for this, and might be willing to turn it around. And also unlike Nikke, I have canon characters I'm interested in here - Anby and Belle. Not sure if I can play Belle, but I have a particularly soft spot for Anby! I can play OCxOC, or CanonxOC if you want me to play Anby. Actually, any sort of OC/Canon combination really works for me... hm AnbyxfutaBelle
