➥ 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

Both are so tempting, it's hard to pick! I think I'm leaning just a bit more toward Goalposts since I love the idea of them really having the most bizarre buddy cop dynamic LOL.

Yeah, I'm for it! :D At the moment I think Chris' mindset is like "if the kid won't stay back where it's safe, at least I can keep him by my side in the field", so it's. It's FINE.

I'll be throwing up a toplevel sometime today or tomorrow-- would you like me to set a closed starter up for Junior there? I could make it like they're in their apartment and Chris mentions leaving for the night for patrol and Junior volunteers to come, or go straight to being out on the assignment. Do I assume that by then Junior's already been attacked at least once?

ALSO ALSO, we can always handwave their interactions during the main kelpie mission whilst playing the patrolling stuff out. ✌ I don't mind that, either!

I just went ahead and responded to yours! Hope it works! We can definitely assume that both of them have already been attacked, before! I'm cool with letting the thread play out however we like, from here!
