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!!

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]

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]

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]

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]

[ 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]

'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]

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]

Maybe it's coming back.

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