1. Plants for the Plant Guy OTA
Tommy had been working the greenhouse in Temba since about day two or three. Every planet they went to he tried to find more food options. The few times he used the replicator, it was always to make things that would make the work easier, or allow him to manage plants out of the glass encased walls of the agricultural center in Temba. While he'd started the work because of an awareness that they needed food, he'd kept at it over a growing love for the work. So really, was it any surprise that Tommy was here?

The first day in Not-Temba he had raced off of the first train, eager to see if there was something like this, and his first day would be filled with Tommy slowly moving through the wildly overgrown greenhouse. No work yet, just Tommy moving slowly through the space, hands reaching out to touch overgrown tangles here, runners for beans there, and always pausing to marvel over the towering fruit trees that dominated this space in a way that even the Temba greenhouse might envy.

"This place is beautiful," he found himself saying as he moved through the different areas of the green house.

Starting from the second day on Tommy moved through the area with purpose. He'd brought a collection of pots and hand trowels and the like. A lot of these he left in the entrance with a sign

Tommy's gone exploring for plants. Grab a pot and join me up on level three if you're interested. Just harvesting? Check the fruit trees on five, I think they're mangos.

Any who might go seeking him out would find Tommy elbow deep in a bed of what looked like short grasses with feathery tops, trying to dig some out with his fingers. Or maybe they might find him further along in two, frowning as he tried to juggle a pot filled with dirt, a watering can, and a pungent smelling vine that seemed to actively be trying to curl around him.

"Will you please stop growing on me? I'm trying to get you to a new home!"

[OOC: Please also feel free to find Tommy anywhere else in the greenhouse, or your character somewhere for him to stumble over]

2. Quarry Queries: Line One OTA
There was a lot of the city to be seen. And, not just the agricultural center. Just north of it, back in Temba, there would be the massive hole down into the mines, something Tommy had never wanted to look at because fuck that mine was a massive hole. But here there was a serious difference. Tommy moved to the top edge of it, frowning. At last he shifted, sitting on the edge of the quarry rim, looking at the stone scooped out of this area.

"This is wrong," he said, frowning as he looked at the stone. He didn't know why it was, it just... It felt wrong. "Aren't quarries supposed to be away from where people live? Don't they get noisy or some shit?"

3. Forest Giant Closed to Ronan
There are adventures to be had here. Tommy definitely intended to have them. And, given his experience with the Agriculture database, his entire attempt to explore was really having a lot to do with plants. In this case the forest. There was something... familiar. No, not really familiar, but it still felt interesting. As he moved through the area he found himself pausing when he caught sight of a tree that was a bit pushed over.

"Shit, what did that?" Tommy found himself saying aloud, his hand settling on the tree trunk. The one with gouges worn into it.

4. Brother Where Art Thou? Closed to Billy
See, the problem with being Tommy and exploring places was that, well, trouble was BOUND to happen. sooner or later. This, apparently, was the sooner. Or was it later? Honestly, it didn't matter. What mattered in this moment was that there was absolutely a bit of a problem now, and one that Tommy hadn't been able to help.

The problem? Tommy had caught sight of the brother, and still upset he'd tried to avoid Billy.

Super speed and unstable rubble didn't go together well. Tommy tried to duck behind a wall. Too much speed, too little structural stability, or something else. Either way even he didn't have to react before an unstable wall was coming down over him, pinning Tommy down under rubble. And shit, that was not good. He immediately started to vibrate to get loose. Except... No. Tommy cried out in pain as a large piece of stone started to press down on his leg.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

The gum made him do it? Tommy made a delighted noise as he pressed into Kyle's mouth, keeping the guy against him. And once he felt like he needed to pull back to breathe, he was left giggling from the giddiness.

"You taste like bubble-olive."

Kyle nodded, smiling, pupils large, hands not leaving Tommy's shoulders.

"You do, too."

Then he wrapped his arms around him and pulled him back in for another heated kiss.

Well if Kyle was going to initiate a heated kiss, who was Tommy to deny him? Sure, they were missing the whole 'explore and find answers for Ga Re' thing, but he didn't care. In this moment all he wanted to do was kiss Kyle with everything he had. The kiss was wonderful and he kept Kyle pulled right up against him.

Exploration was happening, it just happened to be of Tommy's mouth and body, courtesy of Kyle's tongue and hands. He broke their kiss only to nuzzle Tommy's neck instead, hands finding his ass.

Dude, did his ass just get grabbed? Tommy laughed into Kyle's neck.

"I think you're not interested in the berries here."

Kyle blushed hotly.

"...sorry." He forced himself to let go, stealing another kiss before doing so.

"Sorry. I'm here to work, for seriously. I am.

"Who said go?" Tommy asked, his voice soft as he reached for Kyle's hand.

I'm respecting your boundaries and going slow like a gentleman, Kyle thought. Yes, that was what he'd say.

Except no, what he actually does is wrap himself around Tommy and kiss him hard again.

Boundaries, yeah, they were a thing. But did he want to really do that? Tommy didn't know. He was just enjoying today. He pulls Kyle firmly against himself and enjoys the kiss the man offered him, his own hands rubbing at Kyle's back.

It's fireworks, it's winning the lottery, it's magic, it's every romantic movie cliché rolled up into one. With tongue.

Kyle makes a soft little whimpering sound and clutches Tommy possessively.

Fireworks, huh? Tommy would love that. nice colorful explosions were all sorts of his speed. But for now he enjoyed the noise and squeezed Kyle to him, just wanting to feel that body against his own in this moment.

And feel it he could. Kyle was trying to map the topography of Tommy's shoulders, back, ass and thighs, and the natural consequence of this was that his own body was getting excited. Noticeably so.

Well that was a thing. Tommy blushed and pulled back. They had set up a line, hadn't they? There on the beach it had been a 'this far and no further' thing, so Tommy broke the kiss, blushing and looking away from Kyle.

"That's, uh, good gum."

Disappointment came crashing in with reality. Kyle turned away, face scarlet, and nodded.

"Yeah," he agreed. "I think it might have some... mild stimulating qualities? Further testing will have to be done, but, uh. Maybe we discovered alien Molly."

He wandered a few steps away, sneaking looks back at Tommy. "Sorry."

"Sorry?" Tommy asked. He wdoesn't want to talk about the way that he's bothered by the idea of things on this planet affecting him.

"I wasn't trying to be pushy." Kyle shoved his hair back. It was getting ridiculous, he'd have to start tying it back or cut it.

"Pushy?" Tommy asked, frowning. Okay, this was getting weird between them. And the hair was probably a thing. Hell, Tommy probably needed a cut himself.

Kyle kicked at a fallen nut of some kind.

"Tommy, I think about having sex with you a lot. But I'm like... you know, letting you set the pace. So I wasn't trying to get all grabby with you, so I'm apologising."

Thinks about... oh.

Tommy's blush deepens and he forces it away.

"I didn't want to rush things on that, Kyle. We were together for months there, I thought it was all about build up?"

"It's whatever you want it to be."

He hunkers down to look at the nuts on the ground that he's kicked, mostly to avoid eye contact.

Whatever he wants it to be? Tommy moves closer and squats down next to him.

"Wait a second, dude. Has teaching me also been cock-blocking you? Was that why you suggested the beach thign?"

Kyle went bright red again.

"No! I just thought it would be nice, give you a bit of a break. We don't have to go, I was just trying to think of something you'd like." His stomach hurt a little.

Wow man, that's a shade of red. And Tommy puts a hand on Kyle's back.

"I wanna have sex with you too," he assures the man. And then his blush is back. Wow this is awkward. "I just... We're not exactly rolling in things that would make that easier. Or safer. Or able to have that happen without friction burns."

Sorry, he's gotta be practical here.

Well, at least part of that was a relief.

"You do?" He hated asking, but a host of neuroses demanded he do so.

Really?

"And what exactly, Sparky, would be the benefit of claiming to want sex when I don't?"

Yep, he's definitely not liking how Kyle is getting all wilty and nervous. So Sparky it is.
