➥ 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.



A Handy Plotting Form

➥ 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!

gojou can be there to be like "damn, maybe you did need swimming lessons"
twistedbones: (cat | airplane ears)

[personal profile] twistedbones 2021-07-22 04:37 pm (UTC)(link)
He...he maybe did. Cats can swim instinctively, right? Mostly he's just going to be trying to literally claw his way back onto the boat (or up the arm of a rescuer).

I'd love to have Keith meet Thackery while he's a cat at the meeting! He'd be pretty happy about getting to interact with an apparently talking cat, so haha
twistedbones: (cat | eye contact)

[personal profile] twistedbones 2021-07-22 04:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Absolutely! It's something of a novelty for Binx to speak freely to so many people, so there's mutual interest in those kinds of conversations. He's also a little exposition machine; it's not hard to unlock his tragic backstory.
marmoron: marmoron (suspiciously genki)

[personal profile] marmoron 2021-07-23 06:35 am (UTC)(link)
That honestly sounds delightful. I have a feeling Keith is going to take really well to Binx, so I'm excited to see this CR happen! I can link you with a top level for this when I get it posted (probably tomorrow)!

And here it is! Sorry about the delay, I wasn't feeling too great over the weekend! If that TL prompt soesn't work, I can write us a different starter that could be more workable.

Sorry in turn that it's taken me so long to tag in! Hitting that up now!

Since they didn't meet on the tdm I would love for Cassie to meet cat!thackery!

[personal profile] twistedbones 2021-07-22 04:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Can do! Talk to him nicely for five minutes and he'll probably even spill his entire backstory.
blackshades: (conversation)

[personal profile] blackshades 2021-07-22 08:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Ngl, I kinda want Wesker to meet the talking cat. He's used to weird stuff, but Binx looks surprisingly like a... normal cat. He'd wanna know how that works.
twistedbones: (boy | off in the distance)

[personal profile] twistedbones 2021-07-28 08:24 pm (UTC)(link)
For sure! I've got a starter up, if that interests you!

I need Mercy to see Binx at the briefing and think he's someone's pet. Kitty!
