THE TAUR AU MEME

[luce_felice]

Welcome to the Taur AU Meme! Here, you can play your characters in an AU where they have been born and lived as taurs - half human top, half animal bottom beings! Whether you stick to traditional centaurs or mix it up with some unusual or exotic species is totally up to you - so long as it's a taur, anything goes! Feel free to play with the setting, too; if you want your tags in a desert location, a forest, a mountain, anywhere, go for it!

If you wish to play out NSFW material such as sex or intensely gory violence, kindly have it fade to black and take it to a locked post please. Otherwise, go nuts and have fun!

PROMPTS

1: Ah, the watering hole! The perfect place to congregate with fellow taurs of all species. Maybe you're just here for a drink, or to fetch water to bring home. Maybe you're here for gossip or to size up anybody new who's moved to the area, or you're new to the area and you're looking to size up your neighbors - or maybe you just want to be that obnoxious asshole and try bathing while everyone else is having a drink!

2: Uh-oh, a storm's blown in! Rain, snow, hail - whichever you choose, it's bad, and you're going to have to find some cover before the elements push you to the brink. But wherever you decide to shelter, it's likely you're not the only one who's picked that spot. Can you share the space, or will you fight to see who gets to stay and who has to leave?

3: There's a sense of something wrong in the air. It comes as a whiff of smoke, a tremor in the ground, but there's trouble coming either way, and you need to get out of dodge fast! Will you leave your fellow taurs behind, or warn them if you find them? Maybe they're caught up in the trouble and you're the only one around who can help! Or maybe you're the one in trouble...

4: MAN...they may resemble you from the waist up, but they don't see any sort of personhood in taurs. Perhaps you heard the far-off pop of a gunshot or the chop-chop-chop of an axe against a tree trunk - or you've tangled with some and managed to escape with your life. Either way, they won't hesitate to hang your pelt above their mantles, so either keep away from them or lay low as you lick your wounds. Just don't stay alone either way, there's strength in numbers.

5: WILDCARD! Feel free to come up with your own situations, silly or serious or simply fluffy.

[Oh hey, a cave! That's pretty handy shade for getting caught in a summer rainstorm, much less like likely to get struck than any of those big tall trees. This little human with crazy pink hair's just going to skip inside until the lightning passes.]

La lala lala~!

[hisheadintheclouds]

[Arthur was deathly afraid of storms, as it reminded him of some very horrid memories. He shivered trying huddle himself close away from the loud thunderclaps. Then he heard someone else come into the cave. As he peeked out for a moment. Wide eyes as he realized what that someone else was human. Making a surprised loud gasp he quickly and scampered back behind one of the cave walls.]

[spontaneouscombustion]

[Hey, at least it's dark, so if he stays nice and quiet he might-- or he could do that, welp, too late.]

Huh? What was that?

[hisheadintheclouds]

[Arthur trembled as he tried backing up, but then he gave out a pathetic yelp as one of his legs backed up into some rocks making him fall backwards, flailing his arms and legs out as he fell down with painful cry. Ow his back, giving a groan as he struggled to get up.]

[spontaneouscombustion]

[Such centaur, very grace, wow.]

Oh, whoa! Are you okay?! I can't see you but that sounded like it hurt a lot and like I should totally check on you!

[hisheadintheclouds]

[He tries so hard and gets so far, but the in the end it doesn't really matter.

Arthur let out a whimpered equine like noise as he tried to scamper back.]

N-No-! Please, d-don't-!

[spontaneouscombustion]

Why not?!

[hisheadintheclouds]

I-I...

[His words caught in his throat as he trembled, gripping the ground as he looked to the side.]

I'm a-afraid...

[spontaneouscombustion]

Aw, of what? The storm?

[hisheadintheclouds]

[She seemed to be nice, perhaps this human will be alright. He slowly calmed down as he took a breath as he nodded within the dark. Trembling as another thunderclap was heard outside.]

Y-Yes...

[spontaneouscombustion]

Aw, poor guy... I's okay, the lightning won't get us in here, we should be fine.

[hisheadintheclouds]

I-I-I know...

I just-I-I... I d-don't like it.

[Holding himself as he let his legs curls up under him.]

[spontaneouscombustion]

Awww I'm sorry... would a hug help?

[And already gently moving towards the voice.]

[hisheadintheclouds]

[He looked to the side.]

You... Might not... Like what you see...

[spontaneouscombustion]

Huh? Why not? It's not like we can see much in here anyway.

[hisheadintheclouds]

I-I'm...

I'm not exactly, h-human...

[spontaneouscombustion]

Wait, you're not? Theeeen what are you? OOH! Are you a parrot?!

[hisheadintheclouds]

[He couldn't help but chuckle at that.]

N-No, much larger than that I'm afraid.

[spontaneouscombustion]

Wait you're not? Huh, well parrots are the only animals I know of that can talk like a human...

[hisheadintheclouds]

You never met a centaur then I suppose.

[spontaneouscombustion]

Noooo-- [GASP!] Centaurs are real?!

[hisheadintheclouds]

[Arthur placed his hooves back down on the ground as he lifted himself up back to his full height. Softly coming over as he looked down toward her.]

Do you believe now?

[spontaneouscombustion]

WOW you are... REALLY TALL!

[Cave's REALLY dark, dude.]

[hisheadintheclouds]

[Arthur blinked as he looked down at how small she was in comparison.]

O-Oh I um, yes I... I-I get that alot.

[spontaneouscombustion]

Can't see you too well, though. It's pretty dark in here. Do you guys have better sight than we do?
