➥ 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.

➥ 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

Does Jeff need a stick-in-the-mud companion for Sticky Wicket? Thackery is against befriending punks and against looking inside the box, but there's not a whole lot he can actually do if Jeff decides to do either.
