PROMPT 1: BONDING PACTS

CONTENT WARNINGS: Blood ceremony, bodily ceremony, telepathic/empathetic connections, possible forced/coerced relationships.

[From BEGINNERS GUIDE FOR BLOOD PACTS. Found in the Archives:]

"There are a variety of blood pacts one can make, but the most popular are Bonding Pacts. Bonding Pacts should never be made on a whim: they are a serious commitment.

PROCEED WITH CAUTION!
We can thank the Doorway for Bonding Pacts. Everyone knows the story: the Reckoning was made to go fight the impossible battle against blood pollution, corruption, and beasthood. The Doorway vowed to wait for the Reckoning to return and has never moved since. This is ultimately believed to be the first Bonding Pact ever made in Trench and it is considered to have opened up Bonding Pacts as a possibility in general.

The most common misconception about Bonding Pacts is that they must be exclusively for romantic partners. This is not true The majority of Bonding Pacts, as a matter of fact, are actually familial and platonic in nature. Most romantic pairs decide that marriage is a safer option just in case someone gets a case of cold feet. On the other hand, this also means that the Bonding Pact can be the ultimate sign of devotion in a romantic relationship. We aren't interested in telling you what is right for your relationship, but the history is worth considering before taking that step.

So what is a Bonding Pact and how do you do it? Despite being one of the strongest pacts in this world, it is also one of the simplest to perform! Here's what you'll need:

1x Vial of blood per participant wishing to enter the pact
1x Small essence* of each participant
1x Live red rose
2x Live white roses
1x Pouch of ashes
1x Silver cup/container of some sort

*It was once believed that "essence" translated to organ, but we have since learned that this can be a single strand of hair, nail clipping, eyelash, teardrop, spit...You get the gist. It has to be something that came directly from your body that isn't blood.

You need to leave the silver cup out under the moonlight for at least one full night. You must complete this ceremony the evening after and only in the evening. Bonding Pacts cannot be made during the day. When you plan to begin the ceremony, you will need to perform it in a doorway or under any type of arch. This is to allow the Doorway to bless your pact and strengthen it permanently.

You will combine all the ingredients into the cup and thoroughly stir with a fragment of bone/antler. This concoction will thicken into a pastelike consistency and it should be black in color. If it smells like fresh roses, you did it right. If it smells like rancid food, you messed it up and will have to completely redo the ceremony.

Finally, each participant will cover one hand with the paste. To seal the bond, you will need to place your hand upon the one you wish to bond with. Where you place it matters and will determine the nature of your Bonding Pact. Each will have a drastically different consequence/benefit.

ROMANTIC BONDS: Place the hand somewhere on the face. This indicates a public relationship that is to be respected by all involved. This bond will create a telepathic connection between all participants. This telepathy cannot be heard by anyone else nor can it be interfered with from distance or chaos. It is possible to bring your romantic partner back from beasthood through this connection. Extreme cases of this bond have allowed romantic partners to take over one another's minds in severe situations. It can be difficult to shelter your thoughts from your Romantic Bond partner, but it is possible. They will know when you are keeping thoughts from them. Some partners have learned to respect each other's privacy while others have gone insane from the connection.

PLATONIC BONDS: Place the hand somewhere on the chest/shoulder area. This bond will create an This bond will create a physical connection. between all participants. This physical bond will allow participants to pick up on each other's physical pain or pleasure. You will be able to know when your friend is in physical harm. This creates a "phantom pain" of sorts. This can either weaken you substantially or give you an enormous boost during a fight. Best friends have been known to harness this ability well and use each other's pain to literally get stronger during a fight with monsters. On the other hand, a strained relationship can just cause you to feel the same debilitating pain as your friend. This cannot be used to bring someone back from beasthood.

FAMILIAL BONDS: Place the hand somewhere on an appendage whether arm, leg, tail or otherwise. This bond will create an empathetic connection between all participants. This empathetic bond will allow participants to naturally know what the other is feeling and may be able to sway one another's emotions through this connection. Like the romantic bond, it cannot be ruined by distance or chaos and has been used to bring people back from beasthood. Extreme situations have allowed partners to take total emotional control. You will always know when your Familial Bond partner is in emotional distress. You can send your Familial Bond emotional support when you can feel their stress, even at a distance. While this may not always work, many have reported it can greatly alleviate corruption and can even be used to recognize corruption patterns in order to prevent it.

HOSTILE BONDS: Place this bond exclusively on the neck or on anywhere on the back. While it may seem farfetched to make a bond with your enemy, there is some merit to the madness. This will create a unique power connection between all participants. This bond will allow one another to feel the ebb and flow of one another's powers. It is said the most well-forged Hostile Bonds may even allow characters to share abilities between one another. Hostile Bonds are known to drastically increase aggression and competitive behavior between participants. This has caused hostility to stir and may even lead to hatred. However, a successful Hostile Bond that is worked on with steady communication and agreement can be enormously successful and horrifically powerful.

Once you have left your handprint on your partner's skin, the spell will take hold. The handprint will glow and everyone will briefly have a vision of the Doorway standing before them. Don't be alarmed: they are only here to solidify the connection. You will feel great warmth and then the connection will be made. The handprint will stain your skin permanetly so choose wisely. The stain may be extremely light, barely visible. For others, it may be much darker. It is unknown what causes the variation.

This pact can be performed any time of year but is strongest when performed during or near the Egg Moon. While it is not required to have an audience for this ceremony, it is believed that an audience greatly strengthens the bond. It has become customary for people to make vows in combination with the ceremony for an additional layer of power.

As a further point of caution...These bonds can be forced on an individual."

FAQ
1. These bonds cannot be broken except by extreme magical interference such as through some sort of game event, a character being dropped from the game, or something like the Blade of Agency. Death will not disturb the bond.

2. There is no "limit" to the number of participants for the ceremony. Romantic bonds can be made between multiple people. The connection will only exist between those who partook in the ceremony at the same time.

3. People can be added into a Bonding Pact at any time.

4. Gender/species has no impact on the bond.

5. People can create different bonds with the same person.

6. These bonds are open-ended and can be translated to better fit your character.

PROMPT 2: IMPENDING INTIMACY

CONTENT WARNINGS: Intimacy-based monster, intense themes of stalking, jealousy, possession, guilt, shame, physically violent deaths, possible themes of adultery/cheating, some negative ideaology towards promiscuity.

[From History of Blood Crazed Zealots: Chapter 15 Caution About Curses found in the Lumenarium:]

"Do not be fooled by this seemingly passive curse. There are few things more potent than a Blood Crazed Zealot's magic, and few emotions are stronger than that of jealousy. The story goes that one Blood Crazed Zealot was in love with another and entered a sacred blood pact to unite their blood and souls. However, the other Blood Crazed Zealot's love was not as pure, and soon they strayed in body and in mind. Of course, no secrets can be kept in a blood pact, and one thing led to the other.

The jealous and betrayed Blood Crazed Zealot created a vicious curse that still plagues the world to this day. We know of no cures, no remedies, no way to beat it. We only know how to keep it at bay. But It is always around, It is always near, and It will always follow. We have not yet determined the exact way It is transmitted from one person to the next, but we believe it has to do with exchanging some form of intimacy. Whether that be with sex, words of love, or even just saying a loved one's name, the curse will follow.

It appears as a person walking directly towards you. At first, you might not even pick it out from the crowd, until it gets closer. Then you see oddities. Water spills from its body, or its arm looks broken, or many walk along completely naked. There is something off about the creature, and worse yet, no one sees It but you and anyone previously cursed by It. It moves slowly, and it would be easy to assume that it can't really hurt you. After all, if you shoot it with a gun or tear it down with powers, it breaks apart as easily as a human body...

But then It gets up. It reforms. It is impossible to kill. It doesn't react to pain. It doesn't react to words. It changes appearances when you lose sight of it, making it almost impossible to keep your guard up against it. The last time you saw it, it might have been a little girl, but now it looks like a six foot tall man. You might buy yourself some time, might be able to distance yourself by taking a swim or a fly...But It will find you. It will always find you. It can break through doors and windows. There are no wards against it.

When it finds you, it will kill you. It matters not what your powers are, what your blood is. This creature existed with the single purpose to destroy and it has perfected the art. Once it has a hold of you, you are powerless. You first lose all abilities, and then rapidly, your life follows in one crushing moment of paralyzing fear and agonizing pain. It throws its victims to the ground and breaks their bodies apart. No one wants to find the bodies of those it has consumed. It takes only seconds to kill you. Don't let it touch you. Don't let it get close enough to touch you. It will win.

When it has finished, it begins to stalk to the person that had passed it off. It's a never-ending cycle. Person A has it then gives it to Person B who gives it to Person C. Person C dies, so it goes back to Person B until person B can find someone new to give it to. Be wary of giving affection this month. You tenderly saying your beloved's name or engaging in sex or flirtation might just pass the curse along."

FAQ
1. The curse is meant to be severely undermined. The creature appears as an ordinary, unsettling-looking person with no obvious abilities. It can kill anyone regardless of their abilities or species.

2. The curse can be passed by saying a loved one's name (platonic/romantic/familial), sex, kissing, loving touches. To break the curse, one can sleep with a Trenchie or say the name of a loved one not present in Trench.

PROMPT 3: MOTHER'S MERCY

CONTENT WARNINGS: Religious based trauma/forced guilt/shame, extreme themes of self-mutilation and possible sucidial ideations, hexes, altered mental state, forced confessions.

[A sermon by Mother Mercy as recorded by an unnamed Disciple, followed by an attached document titled MOTHER'S FORGIVENESS. A misspelling or unusual wording throughout the sermon is intentional. Disciples debate whether the document was intended as support of Mother Mercy's hex or as a way to help people avoid it. The sermon and Mother's Forgiveness are written in different handwriting. The documents can be found at the Pale Sanctuary:]

THE SERMON
"It was in the midst of Febuawry that the Doorway suummoned me for council,
They had fallen in love with the Reckoning and desird to create an eternal bond,
They wanted to have me present at the seremony to [provide] blessings,
Yet it was with regret I [had to] deny them their wish and instead provide cawsion,
But you see, that is the role of a Mother. We tell our spawn what they do not want to hear but muust.
It is a Mother's Mercy to pass on wisdom, to show compassion and care.

I told the Doorway that we live in a cruuel world, a cruuel world that can rawt a gewd heart,
I told the Doorway that it would be kindr to leave bonds uuntethered,
That it would be a kindness to both to let their love lingr and fade,
Than to let it be subjected to the atrocities of this world's bluud lost.
For what is a strongr emotion than jealousy? I ask of you.
What is a strongr emotion than loneliness? I ask of you.
What is a strongr emotion than longing? I ask of you.
What drives people to insanity quickr than being denied their heart's desires?
No, I told them, they should let go, for a Pthumerian owes this world selflessness,
And a Pthumerian's love can permanently stain this world in a way no one else can.
It would be a kindness to all.

But the Doorway did not want to listen. The Doorway defied [my] advice and created bonds,
The Doorway opened an eternal connection to the Reckoning, The Doorway stained this earth with the consequence of love, of relationships.
Do not be fewled by the luuxury of these words.
There is suuch a thing as selfless love, and this was not it, And so the time came for me to regrettably be proven right.

The corruuption of our cruuel world festered as people created bonds,
For the bonds made the agony of loss so much greater.
With the Doorway's curse*1, people who lost their family, their spouses, their friends also lost themselves.
Loss is painful no matter how you enduure, but the Doorway's curse ensuured it would ruun*2 deep into your soul.
It would corrupt. It would ruun*2.
This was not merciful. This was not love.

And so I counseled the Reckoning to go and keep the corruption at bay,
The Reckoning will not return to the Doorway for corruption will never end,
For beasthewd will never end.
The Reckoning keeps her sword high, and the Doorway will wait for eternity for a lover who will never return.
This is a mother's mercy. Perhaps one day, the Doorway will dissolve their curse.

Now let us bow our heads and pray. And remember, my Disciples, abstain from the curse.
Regulate your desires. This is not to cast shame, but to cast cawsion."

*1: The "curse" refers to the Bonding Pacts that are now popular in Trench. There may be some logic to Mother Mercy's rhetoric given the intensity of corruption experienced post-Bonding Pact. However, one could argue there is an equally high chance of counter-corruption due to deepening relationships through blood magic.

*2: It would appear that the word "ruin" and "run" were spelled the same at this time.

[Footnotes are in the Wayward Watcher's handwriting and clearly added at a much later date than the original sermon was recorded due to the darker quality of the ink. The following document "Mother's Forgiveness" is in the Wayward Watcher's handwriting as well.]

MOTHER'S FORGIVENESS
"Thus shortly after the sermon, a hex began to spread throughout Trench. The source of which seemed to be people who were actively resisting personal desire in some shape. People who tried to resist lust or love or other basic desires began to experience convulsions of pain. The internal agony would rapidly escalate the more they resisted "temptation" and eventually, people found one of the only ways to alleviate this pain was to mutilate themselves. A small cut would bring some relief, but the more harm they brought themselves, the more relief they felt.

I have theorized that this may be the first incident of Sleepers transforming themselves into the Blood Crazed Zealots. This was the first time I began to experience Sleepers who had permanently modified their physical bodies in drastic ways. Many would seem content with the modifications but their personalities were distorted by exacerbated corruption. Those who avoided harming themselves would fall into beasthood in alarming numbers. For a while, the only solution the Hunters and I believed in was to mercifully put these creatures out of their misery.

I quickly learned that many people, especially Sleepers, had burrowed down so many desires that it became an outright plague of corruption throughout the city. We needed to do more than just hunting down those who fell to it. The bodies were piling in numbers and the blood pollution was creating more beasts than we were killing. I sought out Mother Mercy and demanded a solution. I reasoned with her that while she may want to avoid the Doorway's blood magic, it was unfair to allow Sleepers to go punished so severely for a Pthumerian's choices.

Eventually, we came to an agreement. She would purify those who came to the Pale Sanctuary and asked for her forgiveness. They must confess their desires to lift the hex. Mother Mercy will, fittingly, take mercy on those who wish to redeem themselves. Be careful of your desires, Sleeper, for if you keep them locked up, they may just be your ruin. Confessions to Mother Mercy should be a last resort. To avoid the hex, consider honesty.

Good Luck,
The Wayward Watcher."

FAQ
1. The "desires" do not need to be romantic or sexual. They can be someone who desires to resolve an issue, someone who wants to have more friends, the desire to be successful/powerful/famous etc. The "desires" should be prominent. Small desires like wanting a donut for breakfast will not cause harm.

2. Crippling feelings of guilt over desire will consume and corrupt. Characters can avoid the hex by admitting their desires to someone. It does not have to be to Mother Mercy.

3. Those who confess to others or Mother Mercy will feel immediate relief of the hex. People can experience the hex multiple times if they go back to hiding their desires.

4. Confessions can be given to anyone. If you're in love with someone, you can just confess it to a friend rather than the person you are in love with. Of course, it's not like Sleepers would know that...It would be easy to think you have to be forced to confess to your loved one.

5. Characters do not need to self-mutilate for this prompt. Many can just go through their usual corruption stages/beasthood that you would have planned for your characters ahead of time. This is intended to be a bit of history for the Blood Crazed Zealots. You can be flexible on how your character goes to extremes to alleviate their pain. This may include substance abuse, irrational behavior, etc.

PROMPT 4: THE CHOCOLATIER

CONTENT WARNINGS: Themes of temptation (non-sexual and/or sexual), addiction, blood sacrifice, severely warped personality/reality including temporary amnesia, inability to use body, paranoia, vomiting organs, homicidal feelings, mild body horror.

"What is the weight of your pleasure?"

You hear the gravely, sexless voice greet you somewhere in the streets of Trench. You knew the creature had not been there just a minute ago, but now you are no longer alone. A creature roughly the size of an elephant sits beside you, a chalice hovering in the air between its outstretched hands.

The scent of chocolate wafts from the creature. But this isn't just the smell of chocolate. It is the experience of pleasure itself. You can feel the warm melt of chocolate over your tongue, your body wrapped up in inexplicable warmth and silky softness, something whispering across your skin. Your scalp tingles as if someone were playing with your hair or you just heard the best song in your life. It's like sinking into your own bed after getting home from a long trip away.

It's nearly impossible to resist the stupor the creature puts you in. The Chocolatier gazes at you calmly. This is an infamous beast, rare to show its face, but known among locals as one of the most dangerous...For no one can bring themselves to slay it. They dare not even write about it in fear of this creature being capable of taking pleasure away from Trench altogether. Corruption has thoroughly consumed this soul, any sense of self lost, but is this truly the kind of beast that Hunters wish to bring down? It pacifies all those that meet it, even the most violent of souls. The desire to fight, to be hostile will be greatly diminished in its presence. Surely...Surely it cannot be bad.

"I only ask for a token of your blood. For that, I will give everything...Your pleasure, your desire...It is yours. In one single bite...Or perhaps...You may think to give one of my chocolates to someone you admire...For surely...Who could resist such a gift...?" It offers its chalice. "Just a drop will do, my friend..." It seems like such a reasonable request for such a grand gift. Common sense would normally be kicking in right about now, but the Chocolatier drives common sense from the mind and replaces it with sheer want. Someone with mental protection abilities, enchantments or blessed items may be able to resist the temptation and step away. Most people however will likely give over a drop (or more) of blood. The more blood you give, the more chocolates you receive...

And oh! Even if you dislike chocolate or typically can't eat it, you know that you can eat this piece. You know that you will like this chocolate. It's perfect in every way. It was made exactly for you...Or perhaps, even, a special someone in your life. A chocolate for your friend, your lover, your sibling, or...maybe even your enemy. Once you have been given the chocolate, the Chocolatier vanishes. You don't have to eat the chocolate right away, but the longer you resist, the greater the temptation will become. God forbid you lose the chocolate. Some have gone completely insane by the loss. Maybe you should just eat it or get it to your buddy!

There are a wide variety of chocolates you may be blessed with and each one has a different effect. The Chocolatier may seek you out multiple times, but it seems impossible to intentionally summon the Chocolatier.

All effects last a few hours to a few days. Consuming paleblood or darkblood will help alleviate symptoms. All chocolates may lead to corruption and beasthood if they get out of control. Resisting the symptoms worsens effects. While these chocolates are intended to set up new connections, the effects will be doubled if the effect is layering on a pre-existing situation (ie; if you eat a dark chocolate around the person you're sleeping with, you'll find them even more irresistible. If you eat a milk chocolate around your significant other, you'll feel even more in love). You can eat multiple chocolates at once to experience multiple effects at once.

Milk Chocolate: This will inspire extreme romantic attraction to the first person you interact with after eating this chocolate regardless of if you know them. Melted and consumed with other food, it will provide additional feelings of being loved.

Dark Chocolate: This will inspire extreme sexual attraction to the first person you interact with of your preferred gender(s) after consuming. This has been used as a powerful aphrodisiac. Melted and put directly on the skin, it can cause extreme pleasure.

White Chocolate: You desperately want to befriend the first person you interact with after consuming. Melted and consumed with other food, it will provide additional feelings of security in your relationships.

Caramel: You will feel deeply indebted to the first person you interact with after consuming. You will want to do anything they ask, be anything they ask, and follow every order or command they give you.

Almond: You will be extremely compelled to communicate exclusively through song to other people. You will also be compelled to randomly sing your inner monologue and overshare via a spontaneous, musical number.

Raspberry: This will cause you to start vomiting a variety of organs. They aren't your organs. Some of the organs may still be functioning when they come up.

Orange: You will begin to completely confuse people for each other. Their faces and names will swap around in your mind. You might mistake your best friend for your partner. You will have difficulty remembering who is who.

Strawberry: Your emotions will be projected from you without your control through an aura. This aura can provide visual cues (such as a golden light around you when you are happy or a blue when you are sad) as well as smells and possibly even sounds.

Cherry: This will make you extremely flirty and cheerful. You will find it difficult to be in a bad mood and wind up hitting on people regardless of your personal attraction to them.

Coconut: This will cause temporary amnesia either long-term or short-term. Some people may have false memories put in their heads by this chocolate, many of which will be better than the lives they originally lived.

Coffee: This will cause extremely erratic, irrational behavior. You will become reckless and arrogant, making moves in situations you normally never would. It can boast confidence and ego. The crash from this chocolate is terrible and feels worse than a hangover.

Hazelnut: Some physical marker will appear on your body to show that you are romantically and/or sexually compatible with someone. This may be their name appearing on your skin, the first words they ever said to you, or your eye color changing to theirs. This does not force sexual/romantic attraction but rather lets you know who you might make a good match with!

Peanutbutter: You now have animal features of some sort. Dog ears, wings, new eyes. This has been known to provide temporary abilities similar to the animal you have been combined with. Some have even been known to be able to transform completely into the animal at this time!

Peacan: You will drastically lose function over certain body parts. This can cause feelings like your arm is no longer there or under your control. It may cause a complete surrender of your bodily functions in general.

Truffle: You will feel a crushing sense of paranoia that something is controlling you, watching you, and dictating the experiences around you. You will become increasingly suspicious of interactions and start theorizing about little things.

Vanilla: You will become obsessed with specific individuals and begin to actively plot their murder and likely attempt to commit it. This isn't just bloodlust: it's plotting violence. It's about wanting to get away with murder as much as committing murder.

[droptheious]

If a character has multiples of the same sort of bond with others (done separately) would they be able to differentiate the effects they get for them? Like if they have a few friendship bonds would they be able to go "oh, this is X's pain " or would it be a case of running around checking on X, Y and Z because they don't know who's hurting?

Darth Maul | Star Wars

[survivalthroughhate]

Player Name: Shade
Player's Pronouns: She/her
Preferred Player Contact: Light_shade or Lightshade#4738 or PM.
Monthly Pacing: I'll be at a pretty active pace this month barring any unforeseen circumstances, work is on the off-season right now for me.
OOC Limits: This month I'm good for everything including and up to killing Maul. My only limitation is no permanent limb loss, though any mutilation with the face (eyes, ears, teeth) is up for grabs.
Opting-Out Prompts: NOPE, I'm good with all of them!

Character Name: Darth Maul
Character Blood Type: Vileblood
Character Role: Hunter/Arcane Scholar i.e. he teaches people how to fight for the most part.

What CR you would like to develop for this event: I'm good with everything! Always up for more enemies, I love myself some negative CR. I also love it when Maul can take on a mentor or teacher role for those younger than him. But also this event is perfect for positive CR or just getting closer with CR he's only just begun or hasn't talked to in a while.
Open/Closed to New CR this event: Yes! ALL THE CR ALL THE TIME!
What CR you want to avoid this event: I'm good with anything, even temporary demented romantic connections since that's what this is all about.

Timeline/Event Ideas: Maul is gonna be putting himself back together after his player plot, which is still going on for at least the first week of February. After that, he's gonna be a little quiet and introspective as he makes amends with some of the people who were forced to suffer through his eight selves.

As far as thoughts go for the prompts....

Bonding Pacts: Oooooo, permanent bonding stuff like this is my JAM! I do think it would be best for Maul's longer-term CR (or at least intense shorter-term) to do stuff like this with him, as he won't be motivated to do it with people he doesn't know well yet, but I am always up for someone instead forcing a bond on him. And on that note, yes, there are a number of people, especially those he'd be interested in creating a hostile bond with, that he will try to force them on as well. Also up for permanent dark markings that stay on him, cause what's a few more when he's already got tattoos from head to.....well midsection, he's still robotic on the lower half. <.<

Impending Intimacy: So this one I am tentatively saying I am okay with Maul dying if anyone wants to do an epic thread that ends with him getting torn apart. If anyone wants to take this on, I request the timeline for it be done at the end of the month, just so he can fully get in all the insanity that the rest of the prompts have going on. Due keep in mind if anyone does a bonding pact with him and he does die, that will likely be traumatizing for both parties involved.

Mother's Mercy: So Maul is the worst at speaking honestly, especially anything about his emotions. He definitely picked up that tendency from Palpatine to dance around the truth without ever actually saying what he means. He's even like this with people he's known for a long time, and hoo boy, it's exhausting for them too. So this definitely a good prompt for those who want to learn more about him, especially any new (or newish) CR. He might feel better talking about things that are personal to him with people that he doesn't know that well tbh cause he feels they don't know enough to judge or use what they hear against him. Also I'm perfectly fine with Maul self-mutilating in this prompt, so let me know if that's not your style, and I can just leave it out if we do a thread.

The Chocolatier: Another good one for both new and old CR! I mean there's one right up there for befriending the first person he sees if you want one hell of an icebreaker. I'm honestly down for any of the chocolate effects, both the romantic, the silly, and the gross horror ones. If you do want to do it, and I will take ALL THE CR for this one, let me know which one specifically you want to do so we can figure out how things might go.

Re: Darth Maul | Star Wars

[sparkknight]

Yoooo, since nice Maul helped Klee. He's getting chocolate and a valentine's caaaaard. So you can choose which kind of chocolate. Also, you're now a nice man in Klee's mind. So no matter HOW angry or grumpy you are. She'll think you're secretly just acting that way. Would be up for that?

Player's Pronouns: she/they
Preferred Player Contact: timmtams / pm / quixotically#8692 with the caveat that I'm in the Worst Timezone.

Monthly Pacing: Threading ability might drop off depending on my mother's condition, but I'll backtag and I should be fine for this month. I usually pick up within 24 hours.
OOC Limits: Jealousy/envy stuff, anything with paranoia and self-harm.

What CR you would like to develop for this event: New friends, old friends. People her age or mentors/parents. She's still learning what it means to be human, so I want to encourage her exploration by making connections to all kind of CR. I'm totally down for negative CR with the caveat that we work on it to grow.
Open/Closed to New CR this event: Open to New CR
What CR you want to avoid this event: No romantic CR for her.

Timeline/Event Ideas:

Prompt 1: I would love for Ahiru to make some familial bonds. She doesn't really grasp the idea of family and I think it's something she would like to explore, but doesn't really know how or why she should, as she is just a duck. This can also open up to more people realizing what she is (a duck).
Prompt 3: Ahiru is still grappling with guilt over fucking over Mytho's heart, restarting the story, Fakir dying for five seconds, Rue and it's going to hit her like a cinderblock. I would love for someone to help shake her out of it, to reaffirm that even if she makes mistakes, she's doing Her Best. I'm also hoping this will lead to her finally confessing that the fear of confession and disappearing is weighing on her.
Prompt 4: Fun chocolate things?? Down for white chocolate, caramel, almond, strawberry, coconut. I feel almond can be particularly funny since she is a dancer.

If you have any other ideas, I'm happy to hear them and plot them out!

Re: ahiru/duck | princess tutu

[imaglyphwitch]

Oh please, I'd love to have Ahiru and Luz do a familial bond! She's going to have a VERY rough month, and something like that will at least lull the poor girl into a false sense of security. Basically, the last time they spoke Luz wanted to strengthen the bond of family with Ahiru and this will hopefully be a way to do it!

figaro / mahoyaku

[extinctive]

Player Name: blair
Player's Pronouns: they/them
Preferred Player Contact: romanticizes or PM.
Monthly Pacing: Slow-ish! Will tag at least once a day, at least.
OOC Limits: permissions. will need to be warned for explicit self-mutilation in particular. and ofc death for my chara.
Opting-Out Prompts: the entirety of #1. the more self-harmy aspects of #3 (see above), and chocolates that induce romantic attraction in #4.

Character Name: figaro garcia
Character Blood Type: paleblood
Character Role: blood minister; particularly a traditional doctor with a magical twist

What CR you would like to develop for this event: i do want him to develop more confidantes and maybe familial bonds (w/out a blood pact) this month! let him be your bumbling dad figure who claims he doesn't know a damn thing (he does actually), or someone that he can confide in when he does get black-out drunk to cope and needs to confess to someone that he does love some people back home!!
Open/Closed to New CR this event: yyyyy
What CR you want to avoid this event: as mentioned, no forced romance please! he really hates the idea of it and if he ever does fall for someone it has to be the old-fashioned slowburn way.

Timeline/Event Ideas: figaro will be participating in the leviathan player plot! but other than that--

impending intimacy i do want him to fight off the curse (but to no avail) and have someone help him!! and then figure out that hey maybe saying someone's name from back home would be enough to stave it away for a while. this is important bc figaro claims that he does not love people back home even though he really truly does and maybe this'll finally prove something.

mother's mercy figaro does desire a lot of things but he tends to deny those feelings a lot, rip... he'll be coping with a lot of substance abuse to help numb the pain (aka drinking)! having someone around to listen to him ramble after his 25th glass of wine as he finally confesses his true feelings of wanting to love and be loved (despite his fear for it) would be most ideal.

the chocolatier there are some fun prompts here! im open to a lot of these (except for milk chocolate and hazelnut), but in particular im very interested in vanilla? let this good doctor kill you for fun! or maybe i should go for the moe route and have him grow cat ears and sing musicals when your chara decides to visit him for a check-up, ye.

[jedies]

Obi-Wan could be really helpful during impending intimacy or mother's mercy, whichever you prefer!

nehan | granblue fantasy

[torpour]

Player Name: Ray
Player's Pronouns: They/them
Preferred Player Contact: wildtrapinch or wildtrapinch#1171.
Monthly Pacing: I'm ramping up this month! I have some free time (I hope...) to do things.
OOC Limits: Permissions post | kinks because I'm interested in the filthier prompts, hohohoh.
Opting-Out Prompts: no interest in prompt 1/blood pacts and prompt 3/mother's mercy.

Character Name: Nehan
Character Blood Type: Paleblood
Character Role: Blood Minister, Architect, with a dash of Kind Of A Doctor/Healer

What CR you would like to develop for this event: New CR in general, possible friends, acquaintances, and given the nature of the prompts, I'm down for more FWB, fellow less-than-moral weirdos, murderbuddies, and trauma buddies.
Open/Closed to New CR this event: Y. Always open to new CR.
What CR you want to avoid this event: Minors.

Timeline/Event Ideas:
- prompt 2/impending intimacy: I'm just really amused over this It Follows prompt. Nehan has 0 qualms about sleeping around and not getting attached, so I'm down for this. But if anyone wants something gen instead, they can just attempt to outrun the thing, or discuss breaking the curse and talking about their loved ones from home (he has an adopted son, among other close CR). I'm down with doing this multiple times.

- prompt 4/the chocolatier: No interest in raspberry, cherry, hazelnut and peanut butter but everything else is free game. I'm a little hesitant on the pecan, since Nehan is already paralyzed in some limbs, so there's not much more for me to go on. Otherwise, everything is free and I will be going to multiple runs of this. As Nehan is paleblood, he can also help alleviate symptoms, but consuming his blood comes with some bad af dreams for a bit.

Unsure if I'll put up a tl, but I will definitely hopping into others' toplevels!

Luz Noceda | The Owl House

[imaglyphwitch]

Player Name: Pedro
Player's Pronouns: he/him
Preferred Player Contact: elpedrososama or elpedrososama#0238 or PM.
Monthly Pacing: I'll try to hit when I can, usually during the day since I work overnight.
OOC Limits: Nothing I have yet, if you have an idea hit me up!
Opting-Out Prompts: No dying.

Character Name: Luz Noceda
Character Blood Type: Pale Blood
Character Role: Nightwalker

What CR you would like to develop for this event: Friends, enemies, an actual relationship would be interesting given Luz is only thinking about one person who isn't even in the same world.
Open/Closed to New CR this event: Y
What CR you want to avoid this event: Don't think I have one yet?

Timeline/Event Ideas: Considering blood pollution is high this month, Luz is going to turn monster finally. It'll be appropriate given that a) this is her Pthumerian and b) also her birth month, on the fourteenth of all days! The transformation will come as a result of Luz keeping feelings about things in her head, and given the possibilities before her, clearly there's ample opportunity. Unlike the slow corruption of the past few months, this will come quick, and Luz will take on a dark new appearance as an emaciated Chupacabra, the size of a person but faster, feral and blood sucking.

The Chocolatier- This is going to be the start of Luz's bad time. I'm going to do a roulette on this one though, focusing specifically on orange, strawberry, cherry or coconut. Maybe Luz flirts with you (cherry) in her own weirdo way? Mistakes you for Amity Blight or Eda or someone she knows here (orange). Maybe she starts to forget a task she'd normally have done for you (coconut) or is just radiating her feeling in colors (strawberry). Got another idea with you character, hit me up!

Bonding Pacts- Luz is more likely to be doing this with someone she cares for deeply, but this month will be addling with her more than usual, so if you have any other plan at how the two of them wind up making a pact, we can hammer that out too!

Mother's Mercy-

This will be the instigator to Luz's beast hood. With all the things she keeps inside, with all the wants she tries not to communicate, this finally comes to a head where keeping it to herself results in her beasthood, now making her a beast intent on taking what's hers (in this case, blood). The only indication this is your Luz? The remains of her iconic cat hoodie atop the creature's head, and if you so happen to witness her transformation. She'll need to be stopped, and while I don't want her dead, injury toward stopping her is definitely on the table if desired and in league with your character! So! Want to help stop Luz? Want to start attacking her to slow her down? Distract her with butterflies? Totally up to you!

On a final note, anyone who wants to throw her a belated birthday (since she'll be missing hers at this point) feel free! This is going to be a crazy month for Luz, which I hope will end with her starting to feel more at peace with her life here.

[sparkknight]

So Klee is going to go around and give Valentine's cards to people. Luz is on her list. She can be the reason that Luz got the chocolates in the first place. Would that be okay and funny. I think

Opting-Out Prompts: Mother's Mercy because Klee pretty open on her feelings

Character Name: Klee
Character Blood Type: Coldblood
Character Role: Non

What CR you would like to develop for this event: all kinds! Battle buddies, fellow kid fighters, friends mentors, good influences and bad influences

Open/Closed to New CR this event: Yes always up for new CR
What CR you want to avoid this event: Romantic BC child

Timeline/Event Ideas:


Bonding Pacts: When Klee hears about this, she going to want to some pacts with her friends and psuedo family for sure. I'm definitely up for making new Platonic pacts. She a sweets girl who will fights for her friends


Chocolatier/Valentine's Day cards:
So Klee is going to go around to give out cards and sweets to people that she's met here in the Trench. If you've interacted with Klee then you'll get a card and some sweets.

In addition, if you saw her network post and helped you'll be get something too. You can still comment if you want valentine's Day cards and chocolate from her

That being said she may also be distributing chocolate, mostly white, cherry, peanut butter and almond. So shenanigans. Also, I'm toying with the idea of her also helping out other by being a little messenger and giving other people their Valentine's gifts.

But yeah, Klee is going to accidentally contribute to the chaos.

Jason Kolchek | House of Ashes

[hearuthinking]

Player Name: Kacey
Player's Pronouns: she/her
Preferred Player Contact: seraphjewel or PM if you want to go on discord
Monthly Pacing: Steady as always. I try to clean the inbox at least once a day.
OOC Limits: Ehh I don't know
Opting-Out Prompts: More like "idk how to shove Jason at this" than opt-ing out of anything

Character Name: Jason Kolchek
Character Blood Type: paleblood
Character Role: Hunter/Self-defense instructor?

What CR you would like to develop for this event: Jason really needs CR so please just chuck people at him. As a paleblood platonic love is super important to him this month and all his friends are canon CR, so he is a sad lonely boi. And other kinds of CR are welcome, too. Romantic, sexual, antagonistic, whatever.
Open/Closed to New CR this event: ALL THE CR PLEASE
What CR you want to avoid this event: N/A

Timeline/Event Ideas: Blood Pacts: Probably not doing this since he doesn't really have anyone he'd want to do it with.

Impending Intimacy: Hoo boy. I kinda want him to be stalked by this thing but I'd rather him not be murdered so soon. New CR by helping him not die?

Mother's Mercy: This boy would get corrupted so fast. So here's me again hoping for new CR so Jason can talk about his desires as he suffers through the hex. It may take a lot of pain and a lot of goading from the other person for him to actually talk about it, but I'm game.

Chocolatier: I'm gonna go nuts with this one. Just ALL THE CHOCOLATE. Dark chocolate, white chocolate, almond, strawberry, cherry, and peanut butter probably. Hit me up if you want to play around with any of these.

[droptheious]

This little nerd will definitely help him out with mother's mercy if he needs it. It's okay Jason, he's a good listener and he's also a little shit who will keep pushing them buttons til he spills.

Dito | Drakengard 3

Monthly Pacing: I generally try to respond to tags within five or six days, but I also backtag like crazy so no pressure.
OOC Limits: Pretty good with anything, really! As always, here's my permissions post.
Opting-Out Prompts: I'm probably not gonna have Dito have romantic/sexual feelings toward anyone in the game, since he just got here and thinks romance is dumb.

Character Name: Dito
Character Blood Type: Vileblood
Character Role: Hunter

What CR you would like to develop for this event: Anything! Dito's an asshole so I'm predicting he's gonna develop more negative CR than positive overall, but hey-- I've been surprised before.
Open/Closed to New CR this event: Completely open! Come at me, bros.
What CR you want to avoid this event: No forced romance, please!
Timeline/Event Ideas:

Bonding Pacts: Pacts are actually canon in the Drakengard universe, and while Dito isn't the type of person inclined to initiate one himself, I'd find it really hilarious if one was forced upon him in an attempt to keep him in line. No romantic pacts, but everything else is fair game.

The Chocolatier: I'm totally open to most of the effects on this list (except for the romantic/sexual ones, natch) but particularly white chocolate, cherry, peanut butter, pecan and truffle. Almond would be fun to do as well, mostly because I just found out that Dito's voice actress has a beautiful singing voice and I'm so mad about it.

I'm totally open to any other ideas, so please feel free to hit me up if you wanna do something different!

Sarona Gayle | Original

[inkedspell]

Character Name: Sarona Gayle
Character Blood Type: Darkblood
Character Role: Architect

What CR you would like to develop for this event: ALL THE CR. For real, Saeri needs friends, rivals, enemies, all of the above. Girl is going to drive herself into the ground with trying to Self-Improve this month thanks to Darkblood effect. I also would be down for some romantic CR to go along with the event, whether it ends up going somewhere permanent or is just a one-off thing. It could be fun to see where it goes.
Open/Closed to New CR this event: New CR is always welcome
What CR you want to avoid this event: No avoiding only winning.

Timeline/Event Ideas:
Bonding Pact: Saeri already has a temporary bonding pact thing going on with people who use her blood so she probably wouldn't go for the bonding pacts, but under the right circumstances she could be convinced. Honestly, she is more likely to do the Hostile Pact with someone who she doesn't like as a means of keeping them in check and making sure they don't do things.

Impending Intimacy: Welp. She's be willing to let someone send it after her instead of dealing with it themselves. Could also be an interesting way to have her first death in game...

Mother's Mercy: YES MAKE HER BE HONEST. She's resisting making deep intimate bonds and has for most of her life, so something to force her to be honest about her feelings (about others and herself) is great. But first let her be in lots of pain. She's used to pain and would probably ignore it for some time until it gets too much.

The Chocolatier: AGAIN YES GIVE ME THESE PROMPTS. (F/F for shipping/romance)
-- Milk Chocolate: could be super cute, lets see where it leads. Saeri is known for falling for Bad Choices with ladies who are usually unavailable or an inappropriate choice and this would definitely play with that.
-- Dark Chocolate: Saeri has never gotten beyond kissing a girl she was crushing on when she was 14 but I am up for this happening and going somewhere.
-- White Chocolate: Saeri is desperate for friends but sucks at socializing enough to keep them, so yes lets have her being an intrusive and annoying person trying too hard to be a friend.
-- Caramel: Sarona is also extremely annoying when she feels indebted to someone and will be a total nuisance trying to repay a debt to the point of becoming overbearing. So this could be very fun to play with if anyone wants to put up with that.
-- Strawberry: YES PLEASE. Saeri is great at hiding her feelings and projecting a different person to the world than what she actually feels so this could be fun to make her have to express herself genuinely.
-- Coffee: As she runs herself into the ground with the Darkblood Self-Love effect, this could be interesting. Especially if mixed with the Impending Intimacy curse. Girl could get herself or someone else dead.
-- Hazelnut: Oh man this would be fun for her. Any ladies interested in being compatible with her? She's 18.
-- Truffle/Vanilla: I want to combine these two like fuck. Let her become paranoid that you are doing something and decide to kill you. She can be...well creative. It would not be a good time, but also could be a lot of interesting consequences after. We can make it anonymous or them knowing she's the one who did it too.

Player Name: Lark
Preferred Player Contact: Plagueheart#0051
Monthly Pacing: About my usual level of slow, haha.
OOC Limits: None whatever beyond the usual not doing smut.
Opting-Out Prompts: Probably not gonna touch the chocolates; Illarion's extremely weak to supernatural mental persuasion and could get into trouble so fast with that in ways that will disrupt everything else I'm doing this month, LOL.

Character Name: Illarion "gee Illarion why's your mom let you have 10 nicknames?" Albireo
Character Blood Type: Darkblood... all about that self-love...
Character Role: Disciple/Hunter, guy who asks too many questions

What CR you would like to develop for this event: Just keep being a friend to this man he needs the help even if he refuses to believe it.
Open/Closed to New CR this event: Definitely open, though I'd also like to catch up on CR I haven't threaded with in a while.
What CR you want to avoid this event: Less a "want to avoid", but I'd be interested in playing more of a supporting role to other people's cool stuff this month versus piling on more of my own. Illarion's definitely got Problems in the emotional realm going on this event could dig into, but 1) that'll be real heavy and take a toll on everyone involved, 2) I've got a player plot coming up in April that'll touch on some of it. So lemme help with your plot instead!

Timeline/Event Ideas: Per above, I'm mostly going to be reactive rather than proactive this month, and a lot of Illarion's IC focus is on the Fated Leviathan plot. I am absolutely not averse to doing other things though!!

Rereading the prompts, he is a Disciple and will absolutely bone up on the lore surrounding the chaos of the month so he can be available to give spiritual and practical advice to anyone who needs it. And, he is a good safe ear to confess to if you're trying to avoid Mother's Mercy eating you alive and don't want to confess to the big bad mama herself; he is very practiced at keeping others' secrets.

[creidim]

If you're still down for Illarion + Luna with Moon Presence from last month, I am absolutely still up for doing that thread!

OOC Limits: No romance stuff for Fern outside of Varian thanks.
Opting-Out Prompts: Opting out of the intimacy and desire prompts.

Character Name: Fern
Character Blood Type: Darkblood
Character Role: Hunter/Architect

What CR you would like to develop for this event: Any and all!
Open/Closed to New CR this event: Open to new cr.
What CR you want to avoid this event: No romantic stuff, his dance card is full.

Timeline/Event Ideas:

Bonds: I'm open to platonic and familial bonds for extremely close adult cr only. Fern has a lot of physical (he gets in a lot of fights) and emotional baggage, and while he's come a long way whoever he were to bond with would be taking a heck of a toll on themselves. Fern would recognize any bond would basically be advantageous for himself and disadvantageous for the other person, so he'd want to be very careful that the person would would be able to take all of this on and not immediately get corrupted or go beast. So I'm open to it, but let's talk first to see if it's a good idea.

Chocolates: I'm interested in some of the sillier prompts for this! Caramel, strawberry, peanut butter, vanilla for lighter shenanigans, and for some pain orange.

Re: Fern | Adventure Time

[imaglyphwitch]

Would you want a familial bond with Luz. Other than the one they have, anyway?

Jack Frost | Rise of the Guardians

[frostline]

Player Name: Jordan
Player's Pronouns: they/she
Preferred Player Contact: interplanetary or PM!
Monthly Pacing: I will be a little slower than usual this month on account of all the things I'm already doing, but that means tags every 3 days at the VERY latest; am always aiming for tags every day!
OOC Limits: Not looking to kill Jack just yet!
Opting-Out Prompts: just the bonding one!

Character Name: Jack Frost
Character Blood Type: Darkblood
Character Role: eventually he's gonna be a Night Walker but he's new, so, officially? Chilling.

What CR you would like to develop for this event: Jack is completely new, so! Let's get him some friends! I'm particularly interested in him making friends with people his own age, so like, teens and younger adults, and finding some kids to protect! Jack's got a soft spot for kids and will absolutely look out for any he finds. He could also use a mentor figure at some point, but he'll resist that, so.
Open/Closed to New CR this event: open AF!!
What CR you want to avoid this event: Again, not looking to get him deeply romantically involved with anyone just yet

Timeline/Event Ideas: So, I'm avoiding the bonding and the murder prompts since, gestures to everything else I have going on this month, but I've got IDEAS! No TLs from me but so happy to tag into other folks' stuff.

Intimacy: here's the thing, Jack Frost has not experienced intimacy in a SUPER long time and this is a great excuse to get him to give someone a hug. His definition of what's intimate is probably very different from a lot of people's, so! He might get afflicted by this and have to try and figure out how to get free. Happy to have someone pass it onto him just by like, telling him one (1) nice thing about himself.

Mother's Mercy: Jack is a pretty impulsive person overall, but there are some truths about himself that he's kind of hiding even from himself. He likes to put on a brave face about the things he wants and pretend to be totally cool and unaffected. I'd love for him to be an (annoying) sounding board for someone else confessing things, and maybe for him to eventually have to tell someone how lonely he is and how much he really, sincerely wants to be seen and believed in. If you need someone to spill your guts to, Jack's your guy!

Candies: listen he has no impulse control he's gonna take like seven of these candies. I'm particularly interested in friendship candy, as well as caramel, strawberry, coconut, but open to other ideas from folks and will happily tag into your candy shenanigans! Need someone to make your character eat the candy? Jack will... almost definitely do that.

[sparkknight]

I heard you like kids. I'm willing to toss Klee at Jack. It can be her accidentally bumping into him as she's trying to deliver her surprise to her friends. She can offer the extra chocolate as a sorry. We can do something else as with him encountering building tiny snowman of her friends.

Jacob Stone | The Librarians

[bookbrawler]

Player Name: Indy

Monthly Pacing: Fairly active
OOC Limits: Permissions here
Opting-Out Prompts: Anything romantic/sexual

Character Name: Jacob Stone
Character Blood Type: Darkblood
Character Role: Newbie Eventually going to be an Arcane Scholar

What CR you would like to develop for this event: Anything and everything! He's brand new so would love any CR both positive and negative! He can be pretty annoying if you don't like talkative, genius know-it-alls but he's also very gentle and kind, and will still probably be besties with you even if you get into a fistfight cause he loves fistfights.
Open/Closed to New CR this event: N
What CR you want to avoid this event: None

Timeline/Event Ideas:

Bonding Pacts: Jake doesn't have any CR other than TDM folks so he wouldn't know anyone well enough to do a legit bonding pact. However, totally up for him getting one by accident!

Impending Intimacy: Not too interested in this one, it will absolutely break him if he finds out he's responsible for someone's death. (At least, I don't want to break him this early in the game...)

Mother's Mercy: All about this prompt! Being honest is one of his biggest weak points, Jake's literally lived his life hidden, not telling anyone he's a genius and pretending to be just another regular ol' guy, while he's got like 7 aliases and is publishing papers analyzing Monet's series on water lilies. So he's a bundle of guilt and desires. He loves being the best at what he does and would like more friends he can be honest with. He's also dealt with a situation in his canon in which he had to do something similar. He'll probably get corrupted mildly here or even further, but totally up for confessions as well.

The Chocolatier: THIS PROMPT. Ok, so Jake's never used his blood for anything magic before so this'll probably be more than a mild shock, also this'll probably be what kickstarts his powers then since his blood is being used for magic? RIP

He's going to be terrified at what his blood looks like too. In canon he is very easily affected by magic and mind magic, so he'll probably end up with a lot of chocolates.

Chocolates interested in:

White chocolate: New friends!
Caramel: Would love to play this out, especially as Jake can be a stubborn lad and will be so mad after this
Almond: Has happened to him in canon, and he had fun with it. So naturally...
Raspberry: Terrifying. So of course it should happen.
Orange: A painful reminder of the friends he left behind, he'll be mistaking people for his teammates.
Strawberry: Jake tends to keep his thoughts and feelings pretty close, so this'll be upsetting for him. So it must happen.
Cherry: For funsies
Coffee: Sounds like it would be fun and interesting for some negative or positive CR
Hazelnut: Also pretty interesting! Jake will feel all kinds of ways about this.
Peanutbutter: 100000% doing this. He might end up with fox ears and a tail, or a hare's ears and tail.

[demonicbeauty]

Hiya. I'm completely canon blind here, but I was hoping to pick up the White Chocolate prompt for someone new to game, if you're interested!

Varian | Tangled

Monthly Pacing: Same as usual- I try to clear the inbox every day- 2 days at most.
OOC Limits: Only Fern for any romantic prompts.
Opting-Out Prompts: Probably gonna avoid impending intimacy if only because Varian would rather die than pass something like that onto someone he loves (or hates).

Character Name: Varian
Character Blood Type: Coldblood
Character Role: Architect / Arcane Scholar

What CR you would like to develop for this event: Any and all! Varian's relatively easy to gain any sort of CR with!
Open/Closed to New CR this event: Always - though the blood pacts are strictly for well-established CR.
What CR you want to avoid this event: Only romance because his dance card is full.

Timeline/Event Ideas:

BONDING PACTS: - Given Varian's very recent descent into beasthood after 2 months of steady corruption, he really understands the importance of bonds with others and how important it is to make and maintain his connections with people. Because of this, he might be more inclined to go into familial or platonic (or even hostile!) bonds. He's only having a romantic bond with Fern (and will get to hear Grass Demon in his own head too for his troubles, good job boys) but I'm open for others, depending on how close their CR is! Be warned, however, that Varian is a smorgasbord of emotional damage and self-loathing so sharing a familial bond with him might not be the most pleasant experience for people- even if it would help him with his inner healing tremendously. Varian will be aware of this and won't be upset if folks choose otherwise. He knows he's a mess, it's ok.

MOTHER'S MERCY - Still pondering if I'm gonna do anything with this. His desires are pretty well met here. But I'm happy for him to be the subject of someone's confession, or just trying to help them out of the jam they're in.

THE CHOCOLATIER - Sure! Varian is normally pretty damn wary of Trench food, but given that this will be a compulsion food he'll probably end up eating a couple. The only ones I don't want are Milk, Dark and Raspebrry - the others are fair game, though I'd definitely prefer the more lighthearted ones over the more serious ones because Varian had A Month.

As always, I'm open to plotting anything else! Just give me a holler!

[the_obedient_servant]

Character Name: Chara
Character Blood Type: Darkblood
Character Role: N/A for now (Will later become an Arcane Scholar)

What CR you would like to develop for this event: I would really love some negative CR. Enemies, bad influences, people that they can manipulate and negatively influence themselves. They'll be a lot more complicated to handle in the coming month(s), but I'm still always down for them making friends and people who will stubbornly insist on found family.
Open/Closed to New CR this event: Y!
What CR you want to avoid this event: Not touching any of the romance options.

Timeline/Event Ideas: Chara is going to be entering stage two corruption, particularly in relation to the Mother Mercy prompt, because Chara doesn't verbally have the words to say what they want. They might confess to some of their more morally bankrupt associates that they desire power, the destruction of the world, to be erased, but that's... just... all lies they've told themself. So they'll spiral and end up confessing all their sins and hating it.

Bonding Pacts: The only one they'd actually be interested in is the hostility pact. At a later date when their corruption has been lessened, they'll be a bit more amendable to them with VERY close CR but even then they'll be suspicious.

Impending Intimacy: No solid plans for this one. They don't have any loved ones left alive except Frisk and they would rather just have to shortcut away every once in a while than make Frisk deal with it.

Mother's Mercy: Again, Chara does not know what they want. They'll be picky regarding whoever they confide their secrets toward but I don't think they'll ever actually be able to get over themselves and admit to what they want (family, forgiveness, acceptance, freedom), because it's all the things they already believe they've discarded forever. I haven't decided one way or another regarding mutilation, but they'll definitely be dragging themselves before Mother Mercy and snarling out their confessions while internally promising to murder this woman.

Chocolate!!!!!: Chara fucking LOVES chocolate. They will not notice the psionic draw, that's how they always feel about chocolate. Once they've passed the threshold of corruption, they'll even experiment with intentionally fucking with people by giving them chocolates to incite different reactions. If the consequences aren't to their liking, they'll reset.

Ones in particular I'm interested in them having are:
-White Chocolate
-Caramel (this one especially has the potential to be... interesting)
-Strawberry
-Peanutbutter
-Truffle
-Pecan

If you want to plot something specific, I'm also down to wildcard!

Ezra Bridger| Star Wars

[ezra_of_lothal]

Player Name: Lis
Player's Pronouns: she/they
Preferred Player Contact: skipthedemon or skipthedemon#5032 or PM.
Monthly Pacing: Medium? I try to tag once a day, but don't always, and also boomerang when I have the time. Feel free to reach to try to arrange boomerang times.
OOC Limits: Dental and eye gore horror. Please warn for explicit self-mutilation.
Opting-Out Prompts: No forced bonds, no forced attraction/romantic stuff please
Character Name: Ezra Bridger
Character Blood Type: Paleblood
Character Role: He's still pretty new but he's offered meditation lessons and peruses the Archives a lot, so Arcane Scholarish?

What CR you would like to develop for this event: Open to most things as long as it's organic.
Open/Closed to New CR this event: Open!
What CR you want to avoid this event: Not interested in negative CR that goes nowhere. Anything romantic/slow burn would need to be slow burn, not magic induced.

Timeline/Event Ideas: Oh geez.

Bonds: Ezra will not be completely opposed to the idea, with someone he really trusts, but that list is short. The idea will feel less natural to him than a Force bond. BUT - he misses having a bond with either of his masters and I always kinda went with the idea he had very low key bonds with all the Force sensitives he's spent a lot of time with. (And then there's Maul.) Platonic and familial bonds are therefore in theory on the table, but might take some time to actually happen.

I'm not OOC opposed to Ezra getting womped with most of the chocolate, but IC, he would be very suspicious of them and avoid. If he felt tricked into eating one by someone, he would not be happy. Hit me up if you have an idea, though?

He does have some unspoken desires - to be Knighted, or at least to know that sort of formal recognition is a possibility. That there's a path to finishing his training enough for that step, with the other Jedi around. He'd very much like to use actual words to express the familial connections he feels with the other Jedi around, but he's convinced himself that would cause trouble/be selfish.

Not a direct response to the prompts but he sure would have Feelings about that Sermon about Doorway and The Reckoning, and that Doorway is his patron. The Sermon is practically a parable for Jedi and Ezra could very much start worrying that the upshot is he's Doing Love Wrong.

[demonicbeauty]

Thinking of giving Airy back her wings with some chocolate. I'd love for her to interact with Ezra in some manner while she's in her "prime."

Renfri | The Witcher

[laniidae]

Player Name: Alex
Player's Pronouns: She/Her
Preferred Player Contact: PM or comment here!

Monthly Pacing: I WANT TO DO SO MUCH WITH THIS EVENT. Ideally medium to fast! I tag most frequently evenings and weekends, EST.

OOC Limits: I'll probably take this on a case-by-case basis!
Opting-Out Prompts: See above! I'm not super interested in killing her this month and some of the prompts, while I'm not opposed to playing them, would need to be handled sort of delicately with her because some of her IC issues, so as long as the communication is there I think it's good!

Character Name: Renfri, Princess of Creyden
Character Blood Type: Paleblood
Character Role: She works as a bartender at Wu's Raccoon Room and is learning how to do flair bartending. Moon Presence help us all.

What CR you would like to develop for this event: She's a Paleblood so she's already inclined toward increased friendliness and socializing, and ideally I would like to do a mix of both lighthearted silly prompts and some heavier ones with the help of the chocolates! Having a good balance would be great, I think. I just continue to want her to have many friends and a support network, and ideally to learn new things that will help her acclimate to the Trench world! I love it when period characters learn about rollerblades and hip hop music and emojis.

Open/Closed to New CR this event: Open! Please come at me, let her make some friends.

What CR you want to avoid this event: Not really interested in having her make any outright enemies at this point! Rivalries or lightly negative CR is fine, but she's fresh off of having a sworn lifelong enemy so ideally I'd like to avoid that. Also, let's hash out romantic things a little bit in advance just to be sure we're on the same page, since she has some Hangups™ that I would want to handle carefully.

Timeline/Event Ideas:

LEVIATHAN PLOT — She is involved in this and will be trolling around the base camp at various intervals, but she's being a little wary about it because she was given the implicit impression that there is HIDEOUS DEATH waiting for her on the other end of this Leviathan but she's not good enough with Paleblood scrying (and also just a little too honorable) to go snooping about it herself. She will, however, be turning up with a big batch of silver for monster-weaponry purposes, and I think will be working on the Reality Shrike Piton Project? She's flexible.

WUKO WEDDING — She is signed on to bartend at the Wuko wedding, as mentioned above, so if you're looking for a way to meet her offhand, this might be a good means of a first meeting! Tip well or else.

EVENT GENERALLY — No developed ideas as yet but I love the idea of a month of LET'S DEEPEN CHARACTER RELATIONSHIPS so if there's something you want to do that Renfri might be able to help out with, let's definitely talk! Otherwise, my main interest is:

CHOCOLATES — Of all the aspects of the event, this is the one that speaks to me most because it's so versatile! I think the only one I'm not interested in is Vanilla, so here's my rough breakdown:

→ → → Caramel, Orange, Coconut — I have ideas for these and would want to do them with CR that Renfri has an existing rapport with, because the ideas involve some delving into her backstory!
→ → → Almond, Strawberry, Cherry, Peanutbutter — I have ideas for these because they're silly and fun, and would be happy to do them with new or existing CR!
→ → → Raspberry, Coffee, Pecan, Truffle — I would play hurt/comfort using these prompts, probably, but I don't have very developed ideas on them.
→ → → Remainder — I have no developed ideas at this time but let's talk!

[retsuden]

Sasuke's going to not quite be himself because of corruption through parts of the month, but in general I would really love to do more with these two if you're down for it. The orange chocolates sound really cool to me, but I'd be up for anything. He'll also be at the Wuko wedding so he could just bug her there.

Alisaie Leveilleur / Final Fantasy XIV

[adelphoi]

Player Name: aiden
Player's Pronouns: she/her
Preferred Player Contact: owlcoholic or redmage#4848 or PM.
Monthly Pacing: i will likely be medium to fast paced this month!!
OOC Limits: nothing sexual or romantic for this girl, but everything else is go!
Opting-Out Prompts: nah i'm pretty good! alisaie is brand new so she probably won't be suitable for some of these prompts, but she is ofc available for tag-ins.

Character Name: alisaie leveilleur
Character Blood Type: paleblood
Character Role: hunter

What CR you would like to develop for this event: as alisaie is brand spankin new i would like ALL THE NEW CR PLEASE, this girl needs some new friends and companions, i'd love to branch out
Open/Closed to New CR this event: very open!!
What CR you want to avoid this event: nothing in particular!

Timeline/Event Ideas: as alisaie is new she probably won't be entering into any blood pacts since she doesn't have anyone she's super duper close to, except maybe one canonmate?? but i'd be happy to plot for future blood pacts!

i'll probably be avoiding prompt 2 for the same reason, she doesn't have a lot of strong bonds yet that would result in jealousy, but i'm happy to plot with people who do have this problem!

prompt 3 is a little tricky also, since alisaie is generally an incredibly honest and upfront person, so she's unlikely to have any hidden desires that would torment her, but i'm open to plotting for this nonetheless!

mostly i'll probably be focusing on prompt 4, the chocolatier, alisaie can't resist sweets even under normal conditions, let alone mind control. i'm interested in white chocolate for making new friends, strawberry, cherry, coconut, and definitely peanut butter, bring on the animal characteristics. i'm thinking maybe wolf, or deer, or maybe peacock? i'm also of course happy to plot with your characters' chocolate effects also!

Monthly Pacing: Gearing up this month! Just brought in another character so let's see that goes!
OOC Limits: N/A.
Opting-Out Prompts: Not really interested in doing impending intimacy with Ruby. Probably opting out of milk and dark chocolate too.

Ruby Rose | RWBY

[onekindsoul]

Character Name: Ruby Rose
Character Blood Type: Coldblood
Character Role: Nightwalker/Hunter

What CR you would like to develop for this event: Friends, enemies, other teens, other people to get into crazy trouble with. Ruby is a shonen style protag so friends and enemies come pretty naturally for her.
Open/Closed to New CR this event: Y
What CR you want to avoid this event: No Romance, no negative for the sake of negative CR.

Timeline/Event Ideas:

In General Ruby is pretty busy helping out with the fated Leviathan Plot so she'll be popping up here and there on that. She's helping out with the construction of the basecamp and logistics. As well as participating in the battle. Other than that she'll be getting a top level this month on the event.

Bonds Ruby will be forming a romantic bond with Ange and wont be taking anyone else up on that. She will be more than happy to set up familial and platonic bonds with friends and closer cr. While she isn't exactly a fan of the hostile bond she does sort of see the value in rivals to push people to be stronger and could be convinced to take up one of those as well.

Chocolate Ruby's always down for making friends and I think either white chocolate, almond or peanutbutter, strawberry could be great for that. Caramel could be fun for Ruby or someone else pulling a harmless prank.

Coconut or peacan could also be fun for either someone having to help Ruby out of a jam or vice versa. Ruby paralyzed by chocolate. How could it betray her?

Mother's Mercy. A lot of Ruby's secrets are more or less out in the open at this point. She is hesitant to tell people she believes she's dead back at home. There's lingering guilt that she's failed back there and with Julia Sodder's fate that she can talk of.

She's got a good head on her shoulders and is willing to listen or talk people into airing out their problems.

Player's Pronouns: she/her/whatevs
Preferred Player Contact: kirbies or PM.
Monthly Pacing: i don't anticipate anything wild happening in february, so i should be able to tag at a more consistent pace (i hope so, anyway). i tend to be better at tagging during the evenings.
OOC Limits: none atm. i'll let you know if there is something i'm uncomfortable with.
Opting-Out Prompts: i won't have riz affected by vileblood effects this month, per the newsletter.

Character Name: riz
Character Blood Type: vileblood
Character Role: in-training to become a blood minister. with varying amounts of success

What CR you would like to develop for this event: i'm cool with just about anything.
Open/Closed to New CR this event: open to both new and old cr!

Timeline/Event Ideas:
🐾 for the bonding pacts, he'd be most likely interested in romantic (lol), platonic, or hostile. i'm not quite certain much of his cr is strong enough for these (barring the hostile one ;)), and he might hesitate otherwise, but i'm game for developing towards any of it.
🐾 for mother's mercy, riz is unforch p inclined to suppress desires and (highlight for spoilers) canonically has harmed himself out of intense guilt. i'm v down for him to confess to some of the Bad Stuff(tm) he's gotten up to in the past for hex relief, or darker thoughts, if your character would be open to it. not that he necessarily feels guilt for all of it, but...
🐾 re: the chocalatier: tbh this prompt has the potential to inspire incredibly awkward antics, so naturally i am all for it. :} out the gate, i'm good with caramel, orange, strawberry, coffee, and truffle. for milk chocolate, white chocolate, and vanilla, this can also go completely sideways (aka violent and dramatic); i'll keep it mild, unless someone has an otherwise more intense preference.

akira kurusu | persona 5

[stealhearted]

Player Name: rei
Player's Pronouns: she/her
Preferred Player Contact: message this journal / yukimarimo#2784 on discord!
Monthly Pacing: after being dead for most of the holidays i am finally back in action and tagging daily with sporadic boomeranging whenever our schedules sync up! i am usually free in the evenings, est.
OOC Limits: nothing sexual/intimate/etc with akira right now; he's going through enough relationship drama.
Opting-Out Prompts: none off the top of my head.

Character Name: akira kurusu
Character Blood Type: paleblood
Character Role: he squats in akechi's home and makes coffee for people, honestly.

What CR you would like to develop for this event: i would love for akira to,
1. make more friends (gotta get those confidants)
2. find more places to be a part-time worker because he cannot commit to anything
3. continue his saga of animals robbing him, honestly.
Open/Closed to New CR this event: open to new cr!
What CR you want to avoid this event: i'm pretty open to anything however akira needs at least nine dates if you want to romance him so don't get your hopes up there, (i am not looking for romantic cr.)

Timeline/Event Ideas: akira has never once not acted on his desires (well, once he didn't, but it didn't go well) so he will not be suffering from any corruption there -- nor will he be doing any bonding ceremonies, and i don't think he'll be touched by the it follows curse, however

the chocolates are another matter entirely. there's a few chocolates that sound really fun to play around with! i'm not interested in having akira experience any attraction/love side effects (his love life is complicated enough!) but many of the others sound fun -- caramel (following orders, though this might take some ooc discussion), almond (let him be the cringe theatre kid), raspberry, strawberry, coconut (amnesia and/or aus could be super fun!), coffe, peanutbutter (PLEASE let me make akira a catboy), truffle... vanilla is a little hit or miss because akira is, frankly, absolutely terrible at murder, but it could be fun to foil.

akira IS a paleblood so if anyone needs his blood to help with anything, that can also be arranged!

failing all else this month he will be drinking coffee and making curry. he might put some chocolates in the curry, and then we have crazy side effect curry. one fear.

Opting-Out Prompts: Bonding pacts and impending intimacy

Character Name: The Operator
Character Blood Type: Warmblood
Character Role: Civilian/Unemployed

What CR you would like to develop for this event: The Operator's only been here a month, so they need all sorts of new CR! Friends, enemies, mentors, mentees, anything!
Open/Closed to New CR this event: Open as heck!
What CR you want to avoid this event: As per usual, I'm not interested in anything more than crushes or puppy love ship-wise.

Timeline/Event Ideas:

The Chocolatier:
These will likely constitute the Operator’s only open prompts this event since they have plans with pre-existing CR for Mother’s Mercy. So without further ado, the chocolates:

Peanut Butter: This chocolate will cause the Operator to sprout feathery wings from their back, which they will gladly use to fly around and goof off conduct aerial recon around Trench. They also might land on other characters’ homes/places of work for a breather, so feel free to encounter this weird winged kid preening on your roof.

Truffle: While still under the effects of the peanut butter chocolate, the Operator will consume the second chocolate given to them by the chocolatier. This chocolate truffle causes intense paranoia that the eater is being watched and controlled. In the Operator’s case, this is going to greatly increase their fear/paranoia about the “Man in the Wall”/”The Lidless Eye,” the eldritch entity that gave them their powers and likes to terrorize them as a voice in their head, a starry-eyed doppelganger, or by full-on possessing them. The fear of seeing, being seen, or being heard by the Man in the Wall will grow so great that the Operator will take to keeping their eyes closed, hiding their face with their wings, and not speaking for the duration (about one day) of the effect. Characters are free to encounter them doing their creepy lil’ thing in a corner somewhere and maybe attempt to cajole them out of it. Or make it worse—I’m not your boss!

Rika Furude | Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni

[miiraculous]

Character Name: Rika Furude
Character Blood Type: Dark Blood
Character Role: Arcane Scholar

What CR you would like to develop for this event:

- Friendships: Rika is feeling very lonely right now. Her castmates are *years* older than her and she feels disconnected from them. New friends would help her with that gap!
- Fellow Time/World Travelers: She's not going to open up about her experiences right away, but Rika will show interest in others who openly mention these things.
- Spiritual Types: Priest/esses, the spiritually aware, etc. Rika misses her own village's religion and will be seeking comfort in the existence of such things in the Trench. She is also a priestess herself and has not recently met anyone who shares the experience.

Open/Closed to New CR this event: Open!
What CR you want to avoid this event: N/A

Timeline/Event Ideas:

- Not Event Related: Rika's Dark Blood makes her interested in self-love this month. She'll be looking to learn new hobbies, skills, and to play a lot of games with people. If anyone wants a light-hearted prompt, this is an option!

- Bonds: Rika is new here and not likely to form bonds this month. She has a bond like these in canon though, and might be persuaded to discuss it.

- Mother's Mercy: Mild corruption time! There will be no self-mutilation. Due to a combination of older castmates and losing Hanyuu, Rika will be struggling with a desire to confess about her timeloop. She's afraid to bring it up and soil the image of "Furude Rika," and she's afraid it will cause the rift between her friends and her to widen. I am open to Rika confessing to one or two characters, or *nearly* confessing enough for people to become suspicious. She might also flip into her creepy child self when trying to restrain the temptation to confess.

Her physical symptoms will be claws and fangs, causing her to shy away. She'll have fever symptoms leading up to it and try to pretend it's all just a flu.

- Chocolates: I am open to White Chocolate (befriending,) Coconut (amnesia,) Coffee (confidence,) and/or Peanutbutter (cat tail.)


White Chocolate: She'll follow your character around and become shy and anxious over how much she wants to be friends.

Coconut: Rika will forget her timeloops and revert to being Furude Rika from before the timeloops. She'll be more cheerful and sincere, but lose some of her maturity. She will also have less of the trickster personality that she picked up from Satoko.

Coffee: Rika will be adventurous! Spontaneous! And reckless! She's probably going to explore too far and might find herself in danger. Which sucks, because she doesn't have any way to defend herself. This make become an excuse to use her dark blood powers or she can simply be rescued.

Peanutbutter: She'll be upset that she only has a cat tail and find it kind of awkward, but eventually lean into it and have fun.

Neopolitan | RWBY (mention of self harm and vomiting organs)

[threelayers]

Character Name: Neopolitan Sustrai
Character Blood Type: Darkblood
Character Role: Hunter

What CR you would like to develop for this event: Any is possible. This may be a troubled month for Neopolitan, so if folks are wanting in on helping/worsening that, lemme know
Open/Closed to New CR this event: Open!
What CR you want to avoid this event: Romantic Pairings. She's married, yo.

Timeline/Event Ideas:
-OVERALL MONTHLY STATE OF MIND:
As a Darkblood, Neopolitan is focused on 'self love' this month. This means that she may be somewhat distant and difficult to deal with. Her personal coping mechanisms are not known for being healthy, so it may be wise for those who care about her to keep a tiny bit closer tab.

-BONDING:
Neopolitan is not opposed to the notion of 'bonding' in cases where this is more appropriate, but she is also not prone to pushing this. If your character is on friendly terms with her, the idea of a Familial or Platonic bond is strong. She's more likely to wish a bond that involves a Physical Connection.

The list of people she trusts enough to have emotional sway over her is ... not large. If you're interested at any time (even after February), contact me. She will resolutely refuse any romantic pairings.

Hatred Pairings - Uh... yeah. Ruby? *fingers to eyes, fingers pointing at you* If you want to talk? We can definitely talk. they may be making peace, but this feels like a possibly very good match for them.

-It Follows:
No. I'll be skipping this prompt for Neo. For various reasons, this is kind of a problematic prompt for her, so I'll do it with other characters. She's not prone to physical intimacy, rarely uses a person's actual name, and communicates through alternate means, so this will be one that passes her by.

-It Hurts So Good:
On the other hand, she IS resisting temptations at this time because of her loyalty to her spouse, so I'm thinking of having her undergoing the pain and struggling with her thoughts on the subject. She REALLY doesn't like Mother Superior, though, so she might resort to self harm and start struggling with corruption.

-The Chocolatier:
Hah, yeah, sure. Let's use cursed chocolates. Nothing provocative if you please.

...and if someone wants to prank her with a raspberry, she'll stab you after she's done vomiting someone's intestines up, and I'll laugh my ass off. Just saying.
