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!!
「RR」

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.

[personal profile] thisisgonnahurt 2025-11-02 06:04 am (UTC)(link)
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.
p2w: (rat 2)

[personal profile] p2w 2025-11-02 06:08 am (UTC)(link)
[ 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. ]
thisisgonnahurt: (smile?)

[personal profile] thisisgonnahurt 2025-11-02 04:27 pm (UTC)(link)
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.
p2w: (rat 7)

[personal profile] p2w 2025-11-02 08:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[ 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.
thisisgonnahurt: (coffee)

[personal profile] thisisgonnahurt 2025-11-02 09:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, yeah. It's very... you ever see the Breakfast Club? Forced bonding.
p2w: (rat 29)

[personal profile] p2w 2025-11-02 09:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh yeah, like ten years ago.

Does it work?
thisisgonnahurt: (coffee)

[personal profile] thisisgonnahurt 2025-11-02 09:48 pm (UTC)(link)
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.
p2w: (rat 4)

[personal profile] p2w 2025-11-03 02:43 am (UTC)(link)
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... ]
thisisgonnahurt: (smile?)

[personal profile] thisisgonnahurt 2025-11-03 08:53 am (UTC)(link)
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.
p2w: (rat 31)

[personal profile] p2w 2025-11-03 09:01 am (UTC)(link)
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.
thisisgonnahurt: (coffee)

[personal profile] thisisgonnahurt 2025-11-03 08:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[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.
p2w: (rat 61)

[personal profile] p2w 2025-11-04 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
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?
thisisgonnahurt: (coffee)

[personal profile] thisisgonnahurt 2025-11-04 05:35 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, I signed up in the 80s.

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

Very different time.
p2w: (rat 60)

[personal profile] p2w 2025-11-04 05:45 pm (UTC)(link)
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.
thisisgonnahurt: (coffee)

[personal profile] thisisgonnahurt 2025-11-06 06:14 am (UTC)(link)
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.
p2w: (rat 24)

[personal profile] p2w 2025-11-09 02:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh that. That's not weird at all.

[ Fancy tries to drink her own drink, but finds it empty. ]

Waklmans are cool. Nowadays everyone just use their phones.

[ She looks down at her empty cup. ]

I'm gonna get a refill. You want something?
thisisgonnahurt: (smile?)

[personal profile] thisisgonnahurt 2025-11-09 05:58 pm (UTC)(link)
You said it so now you can't make fun of me for not knowing what 'slay' means or whatever.

[A smile.]

Yes. More shitty punch. I wanna get drunk enough that annoying German Shepard seems like a good idea. [Pause.] It's not, for the record.
p2w: (rat 55)

[personal profile] p2w 2025-11-10 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
[ Fancy smirks as she stands up to get a refill. ]

What did people say in your time? Totally Tubular? Sick? It's just a way to say that someone is doing something in a cool way, kinda.

[ The more she thinks about it, the less sense it makes. Funny how that works. ]

Do you find her being mean...attractive?
thisisgonnahurt: (smile?)

[personal profile] thisisgonnahurt 2025-11-10 06:31 am (UTC)(link)
'Bitchin' was pretty big in the circles I ran in back then.

[He laughs incredulously.]

Like sexually? God, no. I just like annoying her because she can't do anything about it. Like, what, she's gonna bite me? That's gonna hurt her as much as it does me.

Why, do you?
p2w: (rat 35)

[personal profile] p2w 2025-11-10 10:51 pm (UTC)(link)
I think I've heard people say that recently.

[ Then again, it would've come from her parents. She doesn't want to think about them right now.

To his question, she winces.
]

What? No. Strict people are kinda scary.
thisisgonnahurt: (1)

[personal profile] thisisgonnahurt 2025-11-10 11:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe it's coming back.

Yeah. And she is very scary. She gonna take over training you, you think?
