jackabeelounge | THE TAUR AU MEME

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.

[He looked up at the sound of hoofbeats, eyes widening slightly at the side of the centaur that emerged. He twisted around so he at least could raise his head and not be staring upside-down.]

Yes please. Thank you.

[Arthur adjusted his legs as he lowered his arm to hold the Satyr with other arm as he cut the rope till it broke. Catching him before he fell with his arm, and guiding him back on his own hooves.]

There, a-are you alright?

[Once he was back on his feet he staggered a little, catching himself against the centaur when he swayed backward, before pushing up again with a muttered apology.]

Ugh... Yeah, just gotta let my world reorient itself.

[Arthur lowered himself bending his legs a little, as he reached out his hand to gently hold his shoulder to try and help balance.]

Yeah, sorry you fell into one of those traps.

Lucky it was a rope though.

Those are bit easier to get out of then some others.

Yeah, I think it was a rabbit snare, and I just put my hoof in the wrong spot.

Thank goodness it wasn't one of the others, I'd be in much worse trouble.

[Arthur nodded as he gazed down toward him.]

Mm, yeah... Those humans think they might win something grand if they tried capturing us.

Granted they're not all like that, but a lot of them are rather careless in my opinion.

[He nodded, looking up at the rope for a moment.]

I agree. Hunting animals for use and food is one thing, hunting for sport is something else entirely. And too many of 'em leave their trash around, dirtying up the valley.

It honestly is ridiculous.

[He gave out a equine like snort. He scuffed his hoof.]

Never mind anyway, i-it's not much we can do about it after all.

Not at the moment.

[He grunted, then shook his head and with it the issue, glancing up.]

Thanks for freeing me, you came along at the right time. ...I'm just glad no one I knew saw me, it wasn't exactly a dignified position.

[Short, sheepish laugh.]

[Arthur chuckled softly as he shook his head.]

Ofcourse, being captured like that in my opinion is nothing to laugh at. I'm glad I was able to help you.

[He held out his hand in greeting.]

The name is Arthur by the way.

Captured, no. Dangling upside down must've been a pretty funny picture though.

[He snickered softly, then took his hand and shook it.]

Daniel.

It's nice to meet you Daniel.

[He took his hand back as he gave a warm smile.]

So you just traveling by here?

I was just traveling through this area, yeah. I live in the northern section of the valley, right before it gets up into the mountains.

Perfect goat territory up there, y'know? [Another snicker.]

[Arthur chuckled softly.]

Yeah that makes sense.

I was just on my way to the south by the river to read one of my books myself.

Oh yeah? That's cool; what kind of book is it?

[Arthur reached into his pack and pulled it out showing him.]

It's a book about the history of some of the songs written in our lore.

Quite fascinating really.

Oh, yeah it sounds like it.

[Sort of.]

You interested in history?
