What CR you would like to develop for this event: Anything and everything is welcomed, but in particular: people with supernatural experience that Peter can more directly learn from, researchers, give me all the horror canon peeps, demon shenanigans (Paimon is a vast range of interaction potential depending on whom he is interacting with)
Open/Closed to New CR this event: Open 5ever
What CR you want to avoid this event: Romance, please! Peter is in a relationship with the witchy Luna Lovegood. ♡

Timeline/Event Ideas: This month, I'm going to try to be very intentional about threads and probably stick to closed things. I have a catchall here that I can pen up starters in, or others are free to as well. Please lmk if you're interested in anything, and we can definitely make it happen!

HALI / VOTING. god I genuinely don't know which way Peter will vote, yet. The first option would be the one that he'd naturally be inclined to, the one that he would've chosen without second thought, the safe option (although... he's not sure he trusts it tbh), but over time, Peter's distrust of the Pthumerians has been growing, especially given the Riteoir situation, which has just reinforced how bad things could get if something goes wrong with any of them again. Peter was supernaturally fucked up by a situation very similar to what happened with Riteoir (a bunch of fanatic cultists trying to bring something into the world and doing whatever it took, even if it meant breaking certain rules of how magic / a particular universe is meant to work, and the horrific consequences that come as a result!) so he's coming from a place of not wanting that to ever happen again, and he absolutely doesn't trust that a) the Riteoir situation is truly resolved and b) something like that couldn't happen again with another Pthumerian / their followers. SO......... I almost want to say he'll be leaning more towards the second option....? As to whether he actually votes that way or not, I don't know yet, but I would love for him to have Conversations with people about it!!!

(All that said, interestingly enough... Paimon will very much be wanting the first option to happen? He's been fucked over by cultists and sometimes can get pretty warped, but at his core he's all about balance and stability, and also has no issue with the Pthumerians in general / is an entity that functions very much like them / only wanted to target Riteoir and his followers because they were breaking the rules of this universe and that deserved Correcting! So he could make for some interesting conversations too, if anyone wants to chat with an otherworldy entity about his opinions on other otherworldly entities....)

RITEOIR. As mentioned, Peter will absolutely not think that this threat is gone so easily.... so he's going to be very Nervous and Wary about any celebrating. I do think he and Paimon will want to journey to that city to see what's going on, and as protection for others, because they'll be expecting that Riteoir's followers might still be lurking around, and they've seen for themselves what they're capable of. So if anyone might want to form a little expedition team, I'd be here for that! The Corruption Threat will definitely be a huge concern, but Peter/Paimon will want to at least explore around as much as they can, check temples and things.... idk. I'm open here!

WONDERKIND. (from last year); I think I'm going to have some of the cultists from Peter's world pop through in the portals (they're non-appable witches that could absolutely be considered "monsters"). I might have Joan (the woman who took over the cult after Peter's grandmother died) make a portal cameo, shouting at Peter to return home / calling for Paimon / for Peter to be Expelled / shit like that which is his worst nightmare.... I might also have a couple of the cultists stalk him for awhile, and possibly stalk his cr too as they try to get close to Peter and bring him back so they can get to King Paimon again....... if anyone wants to deal with that?? I would love to have Paimon protect someone from a creepy cultist (via.... slaughtering the fuck out of them)

GENERAL.

— open network post about séances / séance-adjacent things

— bodyswapping: I would love to do some shenanigans with this! There are a few ways it can be worked, but the general set-up would be that Paimon would stick with Peter's body since he's physically bound to it. Meaning that whomever Peter switches with will get his demon, too. I would be super down to thread some of those situations; Paimon would be extremely curious about this new host consciousness in here with him and all for chatting it up. I'd also love to write out some of Peter in other people's bodies; he'll be happy to be free of his demons but possibly terrified of whatever powers other people's bodies come with.

— Miyagi-do mingling: Definitely interested in some things here, too! Peter learning how to use the ice bracelet would be super meaningful for him, considering he has no powers of his own here (Paimon's powers are only usable by the demon and Peter as a Darkblood is just the medium for him to work through). I'd also love to do some Omen shenanigans (with the caveat that his snake Omen is trying not to let Daniel see him because the poor guy has some bad snake associations....) and just general Peter getting to know the others more. There's always potential that Paimon could make an appearance too, if anyone might want to meet him (he gets bored here and might act up a little but don't worry, nothing too crazy; even he recognises that everyone needs a rest....)

— Leviathan player plot: plot post

— random others: Peter has been taking some basic shooting lessons from Sharon Da Silva at the gun range in Prufrock; baby's first time using a weapon.... He's going to be wanting to get his own gun and will have no idea what type might be best for him, so that could be a fun cr opportunity if anyone has weapons knowledge / etc.
