➥ 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.

➥ 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
