➥ Breaking It In
cw: mentions of apparent mutilation of/violence against animals and animal death

Characters are given a briefing by Reyes Amador that the kelpie encountered in the TDM prompt has likely come from Essex Bay. They know this due to triangulating disappearances and apparent marine mammal deaths. Reyes invites people to ask them questions about this mission and about ADI. Bonnie is also present to give her opinions.

---

➥ Move the Goalposts
cw: kidnapping, violence, sadism

Kelpies appear and attempt to kidnap characters from Gloucester. The only safe haven from the creatures if you can't fight them is ADI HQ and ADI Housing.

---

➥ Curveball
cw: kidnapping, violence/violence and mutilation against apparent animals, sadism, body horror, transformation, potential for claustrophobia

Kidnapped characters awaken to find the kelpies tormenting what seems to be a seal. It is not a seal, though. The kelpies cut the animal open to reveal it's a woman who's been trapped inside the sealskin. Kidnapped characters find themselves subject to the same fate. They are wrapped in sealskin and become psychically-linked selkies, hunted by the kelpies through the dark waters of Essex Bay.

---

➥ Below the Belt
cw: violence/violence and mutilation against apparent animals, body horror, gore

Characters on the Essex Bay mission arrive to find clever seals in the water being chased by horrible crocodile horse monsters. The kelpies attempt to hunt, capture, and kill the selkies and their would-be rescuers.

---

➥ Sticky Wicket
cw: potential for severe burns/injury, pain

Characters are tasked with fetching artifacts from a rundown portion of the Docks. The artifacts, if touched, induce 3rd-degree burns and a burning sensation across one's entire body. Additionally, characters may find themselves having to deal with some of the young punks around town who have claimed this part of the Docks for themselves and want what's in that box.

QUESTIONS

[apocalypsehowmods]

Re: QUESTIONS

[henchgal]

1. At the end of the event, are there any lingering consequences to those who're signed, sealed, delivered? Besides the obvious emotional trauma, ofc?

2. Will those with a physical disability normally be similarly disabled when sealed with a kiss?

Re: QUESTIONS

[simulatio]

I know the TDM/arrival listed guns, tasers, and knives as the immediately-available weapons in the training room (and I assume characters are able to draw from those for something like this?), but is there anywhere one could procure a sword? Either from ADI or from Lucky, or another source in town!

toji fushiguro | jujutsu kaisen.

[heavenchained]

➥ Toji Fushiguro

→ Canon: jujutsu kaisen → Housing: bonnie's flophouse → Permissions: HERE → Breaking It In - i think toji is just going to tell whoever he's talking to that the kelpies are bad news but not impossible to kill; he's killed one himself and might even talk about going in and hunting them down himself anyway. deter him maybe? → Move the Goalposts - he'd absolutely fight them off before they got a chance to kidnap him and anyone else he's with. if you want your character to be rescued or whatever hmu! → Curveball - he wouldn't really be present as he simply wouldn't get kidnapped lol → Below the Belt - killing spree for toji, he'd go nuts on the selkies with his weapons! he's pretty reckless in a fight so he'd do pretty all right at cleaning up shop i think, but if you want to have someone in the middle of battle or be someone he can cut from the seal skin personally, i'm here for it! → Sticky Wicket - cursed artifacts are toji's gig but if something burns him that bad he'll get frustrated and probably try to muscle through the pain. might die if someone isn't with him

wow it auto filled the subject weirdly... editing

[120vision]

might be hilarious if toji helped gojou out because he's still trying to follow the rules and isn't used to fighting without his powers.

satoru gojou | jujutsu kaisen

[120vision]

➥ Satoru Gojou

→ Canon: Jujutsu Kaisen → Housing: ADI, apartment A2 → Permissions: HERE → Breaking It In - Gojou is going to be way too excited about this entire thing for someone with good sense. He loves missions, okay. He probably won't have any actual useful question, but he's definitely going to be encouraging about the whole thing. What's danger? → Move the Goalposts - He's determined not to make use of his powers for now, but he does know how to defend himself. I can see him faltering at first because he's not used to fighting without them, but ultimately succeeding in evading. He'll probably stalk around for awhile and make sure nobody else is in danger. → Curveball - Not getting kidnapped, so. → Below the Belt - It's possible with a situation like this that he'd slip up like once with his powers, but generally keep in control. He'll definitely be trying to save people here, but while he's the saving type he's not the hero type. A good quote from him, albeit not canon, is "Why should I help if I don't get something out of it?" So him saving someone might be a good way to set up CR, because he'll definitely be sniffing around for payback later. → Sticky Wicket - Yeah, Gojou is totally touching it. Whoops. He might even touch it twice! But he'd try to stop anyone else from doing so.

[allapplesaregood]

I really want to have these two meet up! I'm not sure how useful Archie will be for Below the Belt but she probably would figure out that the seals are trying to Do A Thing pretty quickly because she's smart. Maybe we can just...have them be in the same boat?

(Or we could do Sticky Wicket. Archie....might not stop him from touching it oops.)

[thatsreallygreat]

➥ Caduceus Clay

→ Canon: Critical Role → Housing: Bonnie's → Permissions: HERE → Breaking It In - Caduceus will likely be in the back with Bonnie, if only because he's rather tall and there's no need to block anyone else's view. And, maybe, he's watching people. He will be volunteering to help. He's got experience working with groups on missions and is content to play a support role rather than a leadership role. He's here to keep the group together. → Move the Goalposts - Open to having Caduceus defend someone that's running away or otherwise rescuing those who need it and want to avoid kidnapping. He can deal some decent damage, hopefully enough to make the kelpies think twice. → Below the Belt - He will definitely try to talk to the seals if he's in this group. Whether or not they can communicate back won't actually stop him. The kelpies, meanwhile, look like some kind of aberration and he's down to fight them if they engage. → Sticky Wicket - Caduceus will need a partner that can remember the combination if it isn't written down. That being said, he has absolutely no interest in touching the Thing In The Box and is unlikely to be tempted. If he's with someone who is, he'll attempt to heal the burns, possibly with a mild lecture about not touching things. He's got some little tricks that might intimidate the hell out of some punks, too, as he'd rather scare them than fight them.

[120vision]

please lecture gojou, he absolutely needs it.

goro akechi | persona 5

[simulatio]

➥ Goro Akechi

→ Canon: Persona 5 Royal → Housing: ADI - apartment A1 → Permissions: HERE → Breaking It In - Akechi will be there! He won't be shy about asking questions, but he'll mostly be watching the rest of the new arrivals, trying to gauge who might actually be helpful, and who might be hinderances. He'll be somewhat reassuring if anyone looks frightened, but more in the vein of "you're not required to go," and not, "you'll be fine." → Move the Goalposts - a - I'm not planning to have Akechi be kidnapped himself, but he'll be able/willing to defend anyone running or try to rescue anyone being chased! He is not above trying to shoot and kill the kelpies once he realizes they are actually monsters and not just people. b - Also, we're planning on having Ren Amamiya be one of the people kidnapped, which means Akechi will be extremely inclined to go out on his own to gather information and try to find the only person he actually cares about. People are welcome to join him or talk him down from a suicide mission! His pleasant mask will have slipped quite a bit by then, so expect a somewhat-less-fake/polite boy. → Curveball - N/A → Below the Belt - Akechi will absolutely be part of the recon mission, especially in the wake of the kidnappings. It won't occur to him to literally slice the seals open, but if directed to, he'll do it without complaining (too much). He'll be eager and willing to help track down the kelpies themselves and has no qualms about killing them, especially once it becomes clear that the seals are actually transformed people. It might be a little disturbing to the people he's spoken with already just how much joy he'll take in being able to (attempt to) fight. → Sticky Wicket - "Are you cruel enough to let them have it?" yes. Yes he is. Akechi's had enough experience with the supernatural not to want to bother opening the box when it's more beneficial to him not to open it, and he'll discourage PCs from doing the same, but if the box is knocked out of his hands and whomever assaulted him goes to grab it, well. Instant punishment on their part and Akechi gets to see what happens, so. Win/win!

[120vision]

gojou would definitely join in on going to gather information. suicide mission means nothing to him, either

Meredith Idlewild

[henchgal]

➥ Meredith Idlewild

→ Canon: Original → Housing: ADI → Permissions: HERE → Breaking It In - No big plans here, may tag in on other peoples' posts for this. → Move the Goalposts - Meredith's definitely getting kidnapped--while I'd love other people to run away with her, there's an opportunity for her to, like sacrifice herself for someone to get away. She knows she can't run away, so if she can make it possible for someone else to get out, she will. → Curveball - Meredith's going to be caught in some real horror here. She's been kidnapped before, and hasn't exactly processed that--plus body horror shenanigans is going to be a lot of 'fun' for her. I may have her try to get out of the ropes by dislocating her thumb to try to slip out; there will be a self-injury warning on this prompt. → Below the Belt - Here's your chance to do me a rescue. Meredith is going to be seeking out anyone who can/would help, because she's pretty useless as a seal or otherwise. → Sticky Wicket - No plans for this prompt.

[thatsreallygreat]

Cad will do a rescue, Miss Idlewild

[twistedbones]

➥ Thackery Binx

→ Canon: Hocus Pocus → Housing: ADI Apartment A4 → Permissions: HERE → Breaking It In - Binx will be listening attentively, ready to help!! This is a chance to meet him in cat form since they'll be inside ADI HQ. → Move the Goalposts - I'd love to play something with the kelpies trying to kidnap Binx and failing because they keep grabbing for his illusion instead of his real body, and it looks like he's just extremely good at dodging. Come witness? Get rescued(ish) as he provides a distraction so you can get away? → Curveball - n/a → Below the Belt - Binx could be moderately helpful on a recon mission. He will not be the slightest bit helpful in water-based combat, but here he is. Come have a crisis with him. → Sticky Wicket - Binx can't carry a package, but if you'd like him to come along and play Jiminy Cricket, he's always up for nagging people not to touch anything magical!

[120vision]

gojou can be there to be like "damn, maybe you did need swimming lessons"

Monika | Doki Doki Literature Club

[writetheway]

➥ MONIKA

→ Canon: Doki Doki Literature Club → Housing: ADI; Apartment A1 → Permissions: HERE → Breaking It In - Monika is going to be listening very carefully to anyone who has tips and suggestions. She does want to help but she is not exactly ready to go out and beat up a kelpie or anything so she'll want to take more of a support/investigative role. → Move the Goalposts - Monika is going to be subject to an attempted kidnapping, but I don't want her actually kidnapped (her Switch is not exactly waterproof). She will be using a bit of Bucky's self-defense training to initially get away and start running, but if someone would like to help her out as far as rescuing her that would be good. (Her current plan is to just run for the apartments.) → Curveball - Monika will not be taking part in this, as she can't go in the water with her Switch. → Below the Belt - Monika will mostly not taking part in this, as she can't go in the water with her Switch. She also cannot fight a crocodile horse. If there are any selkies who would like to get close to shore and try to communicate with Monika from there, that's possible, but she is not going to be able to do much to protect anyone from the kelpies. → Sticky Wicket - Monika will be participating here! She will manage to resist opening the box, though given her association with The Eye not without temptation. For now, though, her sense of responsibility will win out. She'll need help with dealing with the punks, though--she'll want to talk her way out of it if possible, and she'll have a taser with her, but the taser hurts her to use. Monika can also try to be the voice of reason to anyone trying to open the box, though she won't be willing to physically stop anyone and may back down if someone is very angrily insistent about it.

[allapplesaregood]

Archie would be mildly concerned about a Young Person going on the Sticky Wicket mission but I'd love to have her and Monika partner up! (She is a little better about self-defense...but would also try to talk the punks out of it at first, haha.)

ALSO she might need someone to tell her not to open the box. Maybe?

[bookbrawler]

➥ Jacob Stone

→ Canon: The Librarians → Housing: ADI, A3 → Permissions: HERE → Breaking It In - Jake was attacked in the TDM and his arm is very angry with him right now, he will likely be asking salty questions to the NPCs. He might have a bit of an Eye influence going on here trying to pry knowledge out of them. → Move the Goalposts - Jake will try to fight them and manage to see who attacked him, and recognize that it looks like the Kelpie that attacked him on the beach. Since he's getting captured I'm handwaving this prompt. *sitcom chimes indicating scene change here* → Curveball - Part A. Jake is getting selkified SO MUCH. He's also knowledgeable on legends so he'll be talking to anyone who wants to listen about selkies and kelpies whether they want to actually listen to him or not. Inb4 someone smushes a seal skin in his face to shut him up. Part B. Under the sea - sort of. Jake will be trying to figure out what's going on and how this works and complaining about how much magic sucks would you like to commiserate with him y/n. → Below the Belt - Jake will be trying to get the attention of the people on the boats or work with any of the other selkies to try to get them out of this predicament. He'll try to use morse code to communicate so if anyone knows morse code pls halp → Sticky Wicket - This is a very Librarians-esque mission so he'll definitely be up for this as well! Should be simple and easy, he's done this so many times, right? Right? Etc- Also interested in having Jake start to learn about feeding the Eye and what the cost of using magic here is. He is absolutely adamant about not using magic except sometimes he does it accidentally or finds it necessary to do it in dire situations, so this would be fun to play out.

[henchgal]

I'd love to get a spot on your dance card for the curveball part of the program. Because Meredith doesn't know shit about selkies, kelpies, the Celtics or Wheaties, but she sure as shit knows being kidnapped.

And perhaps, just perhaps, she could be a source of eye-fear. Knowing things isn't going to reassure her here!

Archie Jensen | Zombies, Run!

[allapplesaregood]

➥ Archie Jensen

→ Canon: Zombies, Run! → Housing: ADI, C-1 → Permissions: HERE → Breaking It In - Archie's mostly going to sit and listen here, but I'm open for having her have discussions with other characters about everything and what they think they should do. → Move the Goalposts - I think for now I'm going to keep Archie from actually getting kidnapped, but I'd love for her to be part of an attempt. She's a runner, so she's used to getting away from danger and helping others do that. I'm definitely interested in her helping someone to get away...I'm not sure about having her attempt to save someone and fail, just because I'm almost positive she wouldn't just let someone be kidnapped without like, going along with them. But maybe!! I wouldn't mind making her feel...not great. → Curveball - N/A, I think. → Below the Belt - Boats are not Archie's favored terrain (she's better on her feet) but I think she'd go along to help out because that's what she does. I have no concrete plans in mind for this though I would love seal...shenanigans? → Sticky Wicket - Retrieval mission, you say? ABSOLUTELY up Archie's alley. She...might be tempted to look at/touch the thing though, so it'd be nice if she had a partner who would at least....try to stop her from doing that. I also really want her to try to reason with the gangsters and/or tell them off.

[thiccest]

Re: Move the Goalposts-- Archie runs, Chris eliminates? >:) Or, y'know, tries to eliminate, blood spatters over her, but the kelpie's still alive and he has to get closer to finish the job...

[marmoron]

➥ Keith

→ Canon:Voltron → Housing: ADI (Apt A3) → Permissions: HERE → Breaking It In - Keith will be at the meeting, listening in. He has a good chonk of experience dealing with missions and will speak up as he sees fit, but he'll be doing more listening than asking questions. Doesn't trust ADI fully and will probably want to ask earlier arrivals aboout how the previous mission went. → Move the Goalposts - Unlikely that Keith will actually get kidnapped b/c he can handle himself pretty well in a fight, but he hasn't figured out his weapon of choice is cursed and will make him super paranoid when he activates it, woops. I'm down for playing out a fight / escape from Kelpies as well as dealing with some of the after effects of the paranoia. Would also be down for him failing to save your character from the Kelpies as a way of forming some delicious guilt laden CR. → Curveball - N/A → Below the Belt - He'll be involved in the rescue mission and will .. actually be pleasantly surprised (delighted, even) that the seals here apparently want to try and communicate. He will be very attentive to trying to figure out what any seals are trying to say, and will help cut people free from the skins if they somehow manage to convey that's what he has to do. → Sticky Wicket - Keith is still on camp Don't Trust ADI and will absolutely be curious as to what the hell is in the box. Stop him? Watch him get a third degree burn? Help him???? Also, if gang members show up and try to throw hands, Keith is a pretty good at combat and could help. But if the gang gets there before he gets the box open, he might be pretty inclined to let them open it so he can see what's inside and then reclaim the artifact. So if anyone wants to raise eyebrows over his tactics (and/or encourage??) I'm down for all of that.

[henchgal]

If you want to fail to save Meredith, that's on the table as a possible thing we can things here.

[essenceofdeadlybeasts]

➥ Zhao

→ Canon: Yakuza → Housing: ADI, Block C(1) → Breaking It In - will be present and listening carefully despite appearance of lounging about lazily. he's both curious about this stuff and ready for action. he's also good at retaining information, again, despite appearances. he's had an encounter with these things once already so he's ready for round two with more info on how to properly handle them. → Move the Goalposts - he'll fight them off. no kidnapping for him, he's had enough capture and torture for one lifetime, thank you. also he...has his weapons and is highly skilled at cqc. → Curveball - n/a → Below the Belt - he'll be ready and willing to kill the kelpies and rescue the selkies. he has a sword for slicin'! → Sticky Wicket - would definitely like to do this. Zhao would probably touch the object at least once out of curiosity. come on, he's a gangster himself, ofc he wants to know what everyone wants. also wouldn't mind this to be his first encounter with the local gang members... he wants a good look at these small town folk. he's going to JUDGE them so hard. and maybe try to get in good with them for down the line. /waggles eyebrows

[heavenchained]

hi yes hello!! maybe sticky wicket shenanigans for these two? :O toji's gonna be a jackass about it

[earthshine]

➥ TAKASHI SHIROGANE

→ Canon: Voltron: Legendary Defender → Housing: ADI ( A3 ) → Permissions: HERE → Breaking It In - Fantastic! A team meeting. Those are a grand ol’ time. Shiro will, ofc, be in attendance. He wasn’t thrown into the TDM, so ig he has no experience w these kelpies. He’ll be interested in asking questions and gleaning details from NPCs, as well as characters who have had encounters. → Move the Goalposts - Up for Shiro helping/rescuing someone. He’s an extremely skilled fighter ( spent a year surviving death matches, w him opposite various aliens ) and has a magic tech arm, so I’m fairly confident he can hold his own against the kelpies. So no, he will not be kidnapped. … Though using his weaponized arm will be pinging the negative side-effects of his curse. Basically, he feels disconnected from his arm, and it brings him discomfort that comes an’ goes. So uh… that could throw a slight wrench into the rescue attempts, actually. → Curveball - Opt out. No kidnapping here! → Below the Belt - Shiro would assist. Dunno how helpful he’ll be putting two and two together that the seals are the missing teammates, but... → Sticky Wicket - Shiro would likely not open the box. Even though he’s still in the process of building trust toward ADI, he also doesn’t actively distrust them either. There’s a reason they’ve been given those instructions and he’s not one to jeopardize a mission or a task just to settle some wayward curiosity. … If someone else opens it though! And it reveals a plain, regular looking sports item, he’ll be less of the goodie rule follower and possibly pick it up. Because what the hell? This is what ADI is making a big deal over?

[thatsreallygreat]

Consider: Caduceus drops the box and out rolls a baseball or shin guard or something.

He's also definitely going on rescue missions. He's lost track of the two (2) people he kind of knows.

[aelwyn_aberration]

➥ Aelwyn

→ Canon: Dimension 20 → Housing: Apartments! → Permissions: HERE → Breaking It In - Aelwyn's not going to say much here! She's more interested in seeing what everyone else does and making note of how these are supposed to go so she can act in a way that'll net her the best impression next time. If you want to be sat in the back with the cool kids, come say hi! → Move the Goalposts - Aelwyn will attempt to defend herself but she's decidedly not a fighter, and her body has been through physical stress. She won't get kidnapped, because she will use her powers before that happens and as soon as that happens, she's set, even if the consequences might be... scary. So someone can either be around to witness that or to try to save her or both! → Curveball - N/A → Below the Belt - She's going to be pretty eager to hunt these things after getting her first taste of blood, and her priority isn't going to be saving the others so much as capturing or killing these monsters because her immediate assumption is "Someone else will do the heroic stuff". Come help her do violence. → Sticky Wicket - Aelwyn would like to be involved in getting her hands on some artifacts, but she's not unfamiliar with deeply cursed magic trinkets, and will absolutely allow some punks to handle it first, and then if they keep chasing it she'll try to make an example out of them so they won't get in the way in future. She will genuinely be very surprised this isn't what she was supposed to do. Both like-minded individuals and good influences are welcome to come with her!!!

[120vision]

Gojou probably has to sit in the back, not because he's cool but because he's a tol. They could meet then? :D

[thiccest]

➥ Chris Redfield

→ Canon: resident evil → Housing: adi, apartment block b - b2 → Permissions: HERE → Breaking It In - Having fought and killed a kelpie in its human-ish form on the beach, Chris is somewhat experienced in dealing with them. Besides cursory questions to clarify the parametres of the mission, he's not going to be talking much-- dude definitely gives off the air of someone who's been on a billion missions, though, even if none of them are with the ADI and he's as much of a noob as anyone else is. Definitely open to threading out first meetings here as necessary. → Move the Goalposts - Chris is going to kill a kelpie (handwaved), which then alerts him to the fact that they're stalking around and gets him patrolling the area in the days before the recon mission. If anyone needs rescuing in this case or would like to learn how to kill one or would like to join him (we can have them save an NPC!), let me know! → Curveball - N/A, Chris won't be taken. → Below the Belt - Upon determining the selkies are different from the kelpies, Chris deems them a non-hostile supernatural and will definitely take as many as will fit in his boat. He'll also be travelling with Zoe Baker (trailertrapped), who will be less enthusiastic about taking selkies in, but you know. Definitely open to having someone manage to communicate to him that they're a person; he won't hesitate to cut them open then. Besides that, he's a hard carry in terms of offence, and will be taking down as many monsters as he can. I'm definitely down to have him stop his boat at some patch of land to snipe at things from a distance at some point in the night to provide back-up as necessary, too. After the event, he'll be checking in on any selkies he managed to cut out to make sure they're okay like any other old worrywart would. The whole "being inside a new skin" aspect is incredibly similar to an old monster he had to fight back in his home world, and frankly he's just going to be happy that these ones could be saved in contrast. → Sticky Wicket - N/A, Chris will be too busy with the kelpies (and the aftermath with finding out about the selkies, lol) to pick up packages. Definitely open to him giving first-aid as necessary, though, or helping anyone with tracking stolen packages down after the fact.

[henchgal]

An after-event check-in would be very good for Meredith--she's got a lot of body issues going into this thing (to the point where both Body Terror Song by AJJ and Body by Mother Mother are on her character playlist), and this is going to leave her shaken-not-stirred.

[cacophonish]

➥ Jeff

→ Canon: Original → Housing: Bonnie's → Permissions: HERE → Breaking It In - Jeff will be here, and he'll seem generally disinterested at first (or maybe he's just hungover), then noticeably very uncomfortable/upset about the dead animals because he's a total softie. He'll be listening more attentively once they start talking about kelpies, but isn't likely to ask questions or really engage in the meeting. BUT if anyone wants to chat with him after, we could do something! → Move the Goalposts - I don't plan on having Jeff get caught, but I'm definitely up for him getting chased by kelpies! He can't fight, but boy can he run and hide. Totally down for him running and hiding with someone, maybe they end up holed up somewhere trying to wait for safety. Or if your character's way more badass than Jeff (which is a very low bar, so congrats, anyone can pass it!), they could just kill the kelpies and save his dumb ass. → Curveball - N/A → Below the Belt - N/A → Sticky Wicket - Well this looks like a job for a juvenile delinquent. CAN JEFF BEFRIEND THE PUNKS? I'm all about this prompt, so let's have some BUDDY COP ACTION that may or may not end in third degree burns. I've got to run to work now so I don't have any other specifics to add but I'm excited, let's do shit

[heavenchained]

toji perhaps can ... rescue him from a kidnapping ... he'd be terrible abt it though dbshjdsk

[doingmath]

➥ Cassandra Cillian

→ Canon: The Librarians → Housing: ADI, C1 → Permissions: HERE → Breaking It In - Cassie will be very inquisitive about their situation - but also about everybody else! She'll want to hear about all the worlds and meet her fellow arrivals so if you want to infodump all your lore as an icebreaker, she'll be super fascinated by that. She's also very approachable and chatty, so she'd have no qualms just starting a conversation with quieter characters! → Move the Goalposts - Cassie is getting kidnapped, other than that no plans yet! She might play bait or try and help other characters, I'm game for pretty much anything! → Curveball - She's been canonically turned into a mermaid before and admittedly, this sucks a whole lot more?? But she couldn't speak back then as well, so she'd probably be quick figuring out the telepathic link. Anyone up for not a good time in the caves or trying to outmaneuver the kelpies? She will also likely seek out fellow seal sufferers afterwards for some good ole trauma sharing and sitting together if anyone's up for that sweet sweet hurt comfort. → Below the Belt - Once she figures the boats are here to help she'll try and work together with their rescuers. Maybe save someone who went overboard or try and coordinate some helpful flank attack with her fellow selkies. But sice she's not the most physical person, it's likely that she gets recaptured several times and is very done at this point meaning she'll be quite desperate for help. → Sticky Wicket - Ohhhh she gon open the box. Is she gonna touch it? She's gonna touch it. Anyone wanna fight some punks on the side that try to steal their burn gear?

[120vision]

I'd like them to talk! Alternatively gojou can rescue her once... or twice... or so

Albert Wesker | Resident Evil

[blackshades]

➥ Albert Wesker

→ Canon: Resident Evil → Housing: ADI → Permissions: HERE → Breaking It In - Wesker will be quietly listening for the most part, maybe chiming in for more information about these "kelpies" specifically. For anyone who seems scared or otherwise uncertain about the whole thing, he will discourage them from going and tell them there are other ways to be useful. He'll be very matter of fact about it. This is also a good place for anyone to meet him and learn a little about how he's approaching the ADI and all the weird stuff. → Move the Goalposts - He's not going to tolerate anyone trying to chloroform (or otherwise attack) him. He'll be fighting them off, and if anyone else around him needs help, he might rescue them just to spite the attackers. He may also use their own chloroform on them. → Curveball - N/A since he won't be captured. → Below the Belt - Seals won't find much help from him unless they literally launch themselves into his boat, but he will notice that they seem oddly intelligent and take some cues from their behavior. Hostile kelpies will be killed on sight, or as quickly as he can manage, given that they'll be trying to find a way to knock him into the water. → Sticky Wicket - N/A, as he'll be too busy with the kelpies to do this.

If Gojou spotted Wesker at the meeting he'd definitely approach him.

➥ JUNIOR

→ Canon: Read or Die → Housing: ADI B2 → Permissions: HERE → Breaking It In - Junior will be attending the meeting, generally keeping to himself in a corner and trying to seem as inconspicuous as possible, looking absolutely like a kid that eats his lunch in the bathroom at school. Naturally, he'll be going on the mission, but he can easily seem like he's nervous or scared based on his young age and downcast demeanor, so feel free to try and give him an (unnecessary) pep talk. → Move the Goalposts - Junior's one of those fancy kids who can, surprise, become incorporeal! Having a history in these kind of ventures (supernatural creatures generally notwithstanding), he'll be able to react fast to avoid being chloroformed, and from there run and fight, attempting to wound the kelpies and stop them from chasing him long before he needs to get back to the ADI. He'd realize that if this happened to him, the same thing will likely happen to others, and he'll be available to rescue anyone in danger. Or feel free to pitch in and help him if you see him running (and operating a firearm). → Below the Belt - Junior won't really be too sure what to do here, but he's available to do what he can to help rescue the selkies, especially if he can team up with someone who can provide some leadership and instruction. All in all, he's more of a follower, and he'll act based on a partner's wishes. → Sticky Wicket - Super interested in this prompt! This kind of mission, in particular, is right up Junior's alley, and given his age, he's definitely going to get badly hassled by the street punks. Hell, maybe they'll try and recruit him when they find he doesn't intimidate easily. He'll do everything in his power to keep the package out of their hands, including taking a life, if need be. I'm completely up for someone trying to protect him before they realize he's a capable field agent as well as someone to hold him back and keep him from making a huge mess out of some hoodlums.

as hypocritical as it would be for gojou to tell someone to cool it, he might be good for that? he's used to controlling strong teenagers

ren amamiya | persona 5

[forethinking]

➥ Ren Amamiya

→ Canon: Persona 5 → Housing: Bonnie's → Permissions: HERE → Breaking It In - Ren's a more hands-on type, so he will be there asking questions and trying to come up with formations and plans! The leader will lead, even if he's more of a quieter one. It's also an opportunity to hear what his fellow newcomers bring to the table, so he'll love to get things organized with people and hearing them out! → Move the Goalposts - As said in Akechi's plotting comment, Ren's getting kidnapped! They will attempt to fight them, but well. Oh, well. Ren doesn't want to use his powers, and he's only seventeen, there's only so much he can do. He will go down fighting, at least!! → Curveball - He'll try to comfort and save literally everyone in the same shitty situation as he is. It's not going to be fun for him, but it will be a little bit of an eye-opener, he tends to be reckless and think on the spot and worry about things later, so this will be a nice reminder that he can't always do that (but he will do so eventually anyway...) → Below the Belt - Seal!Renren gets saved here! → Sticky Wicket - He may or may not touch the artifact. For certain, he won't allow you to just touch it! Rather him than anyone else!

dare you to stop gojou from touching it

[inlieuofadad]

➥ Gil Arroyo

→ Canon: Prodigal Son → Housing: Apartment C3 → Permissions: HERE → Breaking It In - Great opportunity to mix and mingle! Gil is definitely going to try and connect with people here, ask questions, etc, so I'm open to anything. → Move the Goalposts - Gil is going to get taken while protecting his wayward son, Malcolm Bright. u__u → Curveball - Gil is going to be caught and properly horrified by everything going on, and will probably try to fight somehow before getting sealified. He will be VERY MAD ABOUT IT, but he'll also be angling to protect everyone around him which might include bull-rushing a kelpie at some point. If y'all want to be saved/want to save him when it goes Horribly Awry, I am totally down for that. → Below the Belt - NO PLANS, AS YET. Would love to do some aftermath stuff with fellow selkies. → Sticky Wicket - Not sure what I'm going to do here yet, if anything!

[henchgal]

Preference: Curveball or Aftermath for Meredith and Gil?

[bossyboiler]

➥ Kate Cordello

→ Canon: Original Character → Housing: ADI (Apt# C2) → Permissions: HERE → Breaking It In - Kate is going to listen first, ask questions second. → Move the Goalposts - Kate is going to help fight off the kelpies, maybe get people back to ADI HQ. I'm open to stuff. → Curveball - Open to ideas. → Below the Belt - Ideas are welcome. → Sticky Wicket - Maybe she's going to play whack-a-mole with some of the punks, maybe not. Kate is going to fetch a hockey puck and find out just how badly it sucks not to have a healing factor. Ow. Burn, baby, burn. Human inferno!

Yuri Egin | Blue Exorcist

[deadanimemom]

➥ Yuri Egin

→ Canon: Blue Exorcist → Housing: ADI C3 → Permissions: HERE → Breaking It In - oh Yuri is very into recon missions learning about new demons, it's her favorite thing. She knows about kelpies from her homeworld, but is excited to see how demons are different here from what she's familiar with. → Move the Goalposts - Yuri can run, and hold her own well enough in a physical fight to get out of danger. She's also voted most likely to use herself as a distraction to try and help others. → Below the Belt - cute seals!!! Yuri's going to try and make friends with cute demon(?) seals. → Sticky Wicket - Yuri's got a strong enough will and enough experience with weirdness not to just touch cursed objects, and she can absolutely try and talk someone else down from touching it.
