➥ 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

So I think these two are of similar mind with regards to how to handle the sticky wicket situation and that sounds like a very good time for them and a possibly bad time for some local hooligans. Seems like a good note to get to interacting, pfff

I'm definitely down for that! Akechi won't let them get seriously injured or killed -- he doesn't know what the consequences for uhhhh witnessing-death-by-stupidity-without-intervening are, but he doesn't intend to fuck around and find out. Maybe the punk gets burned, drops the artifact, and Akechi and Keith will have to fight off the rest?

That works perfectly! Keith is... not inclined to just stay back and watch if someone's getting horrifically burned (and actually, I should specify that if he realizes whoever's holding the artifact is getting third degree burns, that might wind up slightly triggering for him).

Will you be posting a top level for this event, or should I include a closed starter for Akechi in mine?
