FAMILY DINNER

CW: NONE, WARN IN SUBJECT

When Raíz visits, everyone is expected to show up for family dinner a few days later. That's how long you have to show up at the HQ mansion, no matter where you are in the world, no matter how busy or disinclined you are to make an appearance. If you're not there by the time is begins, Raíz will simply show up wherever you are, pick you up and materialize the both of you back at the mansion, tacking on a year or two to your contract.. Everyone is also expected to behave; starting trouble during dinner just gets you mind controlled into behaving to a Stepford Wife degree of compliance.

Since Raíz won't be played ICly, feel free to play this prompt before or after dinner itself takes place. Maybe your character is coming 'home' after a long time away, maybe they're getting ready to leave after it's done, maybe they've decided to stay a few more days or they're just going back to their routine if they already live in the mansion. Play it out as the before or after of any massive family reunion where you're happy to be there or can't wait to get the hell out.

OUT ON A MISSION

CW: NONE, WARN IN SUBJECT

From 007 to SCP, Blood Pact missions can vary between retrieving information, retrieving some ancient artifact, fighting full out monsters or even saving the world from some apocalyptic event. Let your imagination dictate the type of mission your characters are on and why they've been paired up. It can be a thread where they're getting briefed, or en route, or staying at some motel, or entering the lair of a beast that can behead them with a single bite if they're not careful. From the banal to the paranormal, Raíz's agents are ready for (almost) anything mom tells them to do. Well - mom lets Great Dane know what she wants them to do, and he's in charge of passing on the message.

HALLOWEEN PARTY

CW: NONE, WARN IN SUBJECT

Cellar Spider, much to Great Dane's annoyance, has decided to throw a Halloween party at the mansion! Everyone in the Blood Pact is free to join, and hey - if they really want to, they can even bring a plus one. (Why would you do that, though.) Blue organized the meticulously arranged sweets, Red carved a lot of pumpkins (like a lot), Monarch assembled the playlist, Velvet brought the moonshine, Moon made sure everything looked fucking amazing, and Salamander spiked the punch. Costumes are in fact mandatory! Raíz will not be appearing because she's busy being an eldritch abomination in some other dimension.

VOICE / TEXT / VIDEO

CW: NONE, WARN IN SUBJECT

Post something to the massive group chat, or just DM each other gossip. Or Else.

PLEASE READ

A NOTE ON CONTENT TO AVOID

Hi there! Nubl here. For my own comfort, please avoid engaging in the following subjects ICly and in introspection: different generation incest (parent-child, uncle/aunt-niece/nephew, grandparent-grandchild, etc.); pregnancy or breeding as a kink or as a horror trope, needles/piercings, watersports, and non-con/rape. You're totally free to play them out elsewhere, I'm just asking to keep it off-comm please! Though this isn't meant to be a smut-heavy post, threads may certainly end up there - just make sure to warn in the subject that it's NSFW! Thank you so much everyone, have fun!!

...wow. Exploded? That hurts like hell.

It was- well, it was weird. Started with a headache, and then I just felt really bad. Then my nose started bleeding. I don't remember the actual explosion.

[ She shudders. ]

Something about my power needed a few limits for now.

What the hell do you do? Just, uh. In case of more head explosions.

Oh I- she said I copy powers. At first I was copying and using every power at the same time, and my body couldn't take it. Now I can only use one at a time.

[ She shrugs, hands going up too. ]

Not that I know what anyone does, so I'm trying to just sit here and don't make a mess.

Edited 2025-11-02 04:56 (UTC)

Ohhhh. Okay. Yeah, then you're safe with me, kid. I don't do explosions.

[At least, not on purpose.]

What- what do you do?

Transference. If you punch me in the face, I can make you or someone else feel it too.

[ Fancy makes a face. ]

Does it have to be violent? Or can it be just, any sensation?

Any. But, you know. A lot more uses for the painful stuff.

I hate getting shot but it is objectively funny when the guy who shot me gets the damage.

Oh so you pass everything? That's pretty cool, you're technically impossible to hurt.

[ Fancy seems to debate with herself for a moment before she lifts a hand, squinting at it. She then touches her nose.

Mouse should be feeling the touch, though. ]

Do you feel that? Am I doing this right.

Edited (coding is my passion) 2025-11-02 06:02 (UTC)

Well... It still hurts, but yeah, I don't really suffer the effects.

[He scrunches his face and laughs.]

Yup. You got it. We could create an infinite feedback loop.

[ Fancy laughs, and the sheer shock of hearing her laughter in god knows how long makes her gasp. She also stops poking her nose, because she's still scared of the implications of having such a power. ]

Oh that- that would get uncomfortable really quickly.

[ Still, she beams at Mouse. Good job dude, she thinks you're pretty okay. ]

It would.

[Okay, he made her smile and that actually feels pretty good. He smiles back.]

You got questions? I might have answers. Big might - I've been gone a few years. I moved back in a little while ago.

[ When someone invariably trash talks Mouse, he'll have a Fancy Rat on his corner. ]

Um... what's the point of us being here? I feel I might have missed on an orientation class. Or ten.

Oh, yeah. It's very... you ever see the Breakfast Club? Forced bonding.

Oh yeah, like ten years ago.

Does it work?

Uhh... debatable.

[He shrugs and gestures at the room.] Some people will fight, some will make out. I'm gonna drink punch and hang out here until I can sneak out and go play Stardew Valley.

Oh. I see.

[ Well that's kind of a bummer. ] Are they- am I going to be safe here?

[ Nobody has noticed her yet, but if Mouse did... ]

Oh, yeah. They've got no reason to actually hurt you.

[He considers this, then adds,]

I can chill until you're ready to split.

If you say so...

[ To his offer, she shrugs. ]

If you want? I'm sure you would have more fun somewhere else. And... I'm kind of curious to keep watching for a while.

[Mouse snorts.]

I promise I would not have more fun elsewhere. I don't mind hanging out. It's scary to be the new kid.

It... it is.

[ Still, this is nice. Ish. It's not weird, which is nice in and by itself. ]

So how long have you been around?

Oh, I signed up in the 80s.

[Which means, of course, that he's older than he looks.]

Very different time.

So it is true, we don't age.

[ Well, at least she doesn't hate her appearance...that much. ]

Must be weird, seeing the world change so fast.

Yup. That is in fact very true, and why you'll be talking to someone who looks twenty but acts like your grandpa.

[Mouse nods and sips what's left of his punch.]

Technology is where you really notice it. Computers have come an insane distance, especially.

Not gonna lie, though, sometimes I miss my Walkman. It just felt cool.
