Given that they're in the area of 150 years old by that point, it remains funny to me. 

Got what you were going for, though.

[Aryeonos]

Cheeky little guys aren't they?

Edit: I could just sleep with him and film it, that could muck with his credibility, and he'd be on my leash. So two stones with one bird, yes?

[mtfeeney = Baron]

Does the report say that the Captain is gay and into sapient animals?  If so, you might have a good plan there.

[Aryeonos]

I didn't really think of either as factors really.

As my friend would say,"Big Mo, gets what he wants, and takes what he doesn't need."

[mtfeeney = Baron]

Really?  That seems unrealistic.  No matter how charming or glamoured a guy is, he's never going to convince me to have sex with him.  The same goes for animals.  No amount of tail flicking and shiny fur will entice me to do inappropriate things with my cat.

[RHat]

I have two words for you:  "Control Thoughts".  Not sure if he has that spell or not...

[Aryeonos]

Are you sure :3 ?

Well, perhaps not, but the idea of sexuality has changed allot in 70 years, I didn't even think gay was a thing anymore, what with things like polyamority being both legal and (somewhat?) common. That and, expressed sexes, and genders, are no longer in their binaries anymore (thank... something-for that.) . If what I gathered from Plan 9 is any indication, relations with meta-sapients isn't all that out there.

All that aside, I am quite magical, and a sustained control thoughts spell is all I really need. If I were to play the long game though, I'd make him have genuine feelings for me, which would give tremendous leverage in our favour for a brief while until it tips his previous master's hand.

But that's just one proposal.

[RHat]

Incompatible Orientation would still be a thing in that scenario, though.  There'd just be a far wider spectrum overall.

Main issue with that proposal, though, is that it seriously exposes you.

Pun moderately intended.

[Aryeonos]

Putting aside the fact that this character barters in blowjobs, I suppose there is that, and I do sorta want to return to my home sometime... ever. I wouldn't, technically, be breaking any laws; and neither would he. That could be crippling in the long run for me, or a badge of honour, I like the scandal idea though. As of now my character is basically just on vacation though, so, hopefully we can move to method of compensation before we invest all our ideas, and show our own desperation, first. So, me personally, I'm going to work the, why, how much, then maybe how, angle.

[RHat]

It's the loss of anonymity that could be an issue.

[Aryeonos]

For a feathered serpent that's very difficult, in one of my spoilers I pointed out some of the lengths I went to, to maintain that. Just flying into illanois though, that'll be logged, written down, and passed to his desk if not an advisors, in a matter of hours though. I just have to play it careful and be as far away from The Wrong Place^TM at all times.

Huh?  Somehow acceptance has turned into everyone being bisexual?  That's ridiculous.  If he's not interested in men, he's not interested in men.  If he's not interesetd in snakes, he's not interested in snakes.  There's no "Well, it's 2072, everyone swings every which way possible." 

How can we have more than binary genders?  Did we discover a third sex?  What's it called?  Are you just talking about people not falling into gender stereotypes?  That, I can buy.

[RHat]

Sex and gender are not the same thing - sex is biological, but gender is cultural/psychological.  Some transhumanist characters, such as Plan 9, switch back and forth between sexes so often that it becomes questionable if they even have a gender.

But yes, the mere fact that a very broad spectrum of orientation is accepted doesn't mean orientation goes away - and it's been known to be a ridiculously specific thing, on occasion.

[Aryeonos]

I didn't say it wasn't, it's just that the rigidity of it all has softened over the ages, chances are better than they were. And there are more than 2 sexes yes, and a crazy amount of genders.

Anyway, that's just one proposed option. What other options do you guys think?

[mtfeeney = Baron]

What other sexes are there?  And I have no idea, Baron isn't to great in a situation like this.  With fuzzy goals, he doesn't know how to go about it.
