☻Pick a scenario or use RNG (or make one up if you don't see what you want here).
☻Have fun!

I. Roadtrip

1. BREAK DOWN. Oh snap. Your car decided to break down out in the middle of nowhere. WHAT DO? Is that Leather-face? Will this be "Children of the Corn"?
2. HITCHHIKERS? Is this even a good idea? Threads may also have a third participant. Go wild.
3. WHAT THE FUCK DID I JUST HIT? Dude, I hear deer mess up cars... Or I think that was a deer...
4. DON'T MAKE ME TURN THIS CAR AROUND. Alas. You're the parent or disgruntled friend who has had it up to here with all the fighting in the back. This thread may also have a third or even fourth participant, if you can wing it.
5. OMG, I WANT TO TAKE A PICTURE OF THIS LANDMARK! No, no, and no. You tell that person that they're going to be driven around and they're going to like it.
6. THE GREAT ESCAPE. Either dinosaurs or the moth-man is chasing you. Don't stop now.
7. MAKE OUT. For whatever reason, the person you're traveling with in the car. You would love to make out with them and then some.



II. Cuddles

1. SWEET DREAMS. It's been a long day and all you want to do is sleep or just rest your eyes for a bit. Hopefully whoever is close by doesn't mind if you use them as a blanket.
2. STORMY WEATHER. The heavy rain, thunder, and lightning won't be letting up anytime soon. Luckily, it's the perfect weather to stay indoors and snuggle up close and keep warm.
3. SLOW DANCE. It's the end of a party, or maybe it's only the two of you, but the tempo is slow and the lights are low. Let your dance partner take the weight and just sway.
4. SURPRISE ATTACK. Time to invade someone's personal space. Are they working too much and need a distraction? Maybe you just wanted to brighten their day. Either way, they won't see it coming.
5. MOVIE NIGHT. It can be on the sofa or in a darkened theater, but you've got your popcorn and someone to settle against during your favorite movie.
6. I LOVE YOU, MAN. It's totally platonic, really. You're just very good friends, no matter what people like to think. But you just love your friend so much you want to hug them, whether they like it or not.
7. JEEPERS CREEPERS. Welp. You were just frightened. Was it a spider in the washroom, a ghost in the attic, a bad dream? Either way, you're looking for someone to cling to right now, and who better than that person right there?
8. HURT AND COMFORT. Whether you're sick in bed, just been dumped, or suffered a traumatic event, you need someone to wrap their arms around you and make everything go away.
9. SUNDAY MORNING. Maybe you just had a wild night. Maybe there's just not enough space at your place and you need to share your bed. Or maybe you just got really tired and someone else happened to be there. Doesn't matter because now the person with you looks way more comfortable than any blanket or pillow. Drape to your heart's content.
10. MOMENT AFTER. You just had incredible, vigorous sex and if you weren't a cuddler before, you are now. You're probably too exhausted to do anything else anyway. Just enjoy the moment.
11. PLAYER'S CHOICE. Pick one or make up your own!

III. Hurt/Comfort

1. INJURY. You've been injured. Broken bones or bleeding out or maybe just a tiny little paper-cut. The choice is yours.
2. SICKNESS. You're sick and laid up in bed, at home or in a hospital. The severity is up to you.
3. FEAR/ANXIETY. Something is happening and you're scared beyond belief.
4. LOSS OF SENSES. Sight, touch, taste, hearing, smell, etc. You've lost some important sense or ability and now you're left to deal with it.
5. DESPAIR. Nothing is good or right anymore and you can't shake the depression. Maybe that friend of yours can help though.
6. MAKE UP. Fight or break up, it's time to make up.
7. RESCUED. You've just been held captive and/or tortured for however long and finally, someone has come to the rescue.
8. BAD ROMANCE. Fight, cheat on, abuse, whatever the case is, someone else can clearly see you need comfort from someone who isn't your terrible lover tonight.
9. LOSS. You've experienced a loss of some kind and need help getting through it.

IV. Texts from Last Night

1.Go here
2. Make Magic happen

V. Intimacy

1. PHYSICAL INTIMACY. It might just be innocent touches or it might be foreplay.
2. LONG CONVERSATIONS. Honest words can be more intimate than touch.
3. DRUNK. You're over-sharing or simply maudlin.
4. FORCED INTIMACY. Magic. A truth serum, whatever - you didn't mean to bare your soul, but that is precisely what you're doing right now.
5. SLOW-DANCING. There is something inherently intimate about trusting someone else to lead you, and someone trust you to lead them.
6. OTHER. Intimacy can come in many forms. Pick your poison.

VI. SENTINEL GUIDE

Prompts
oo1. The Meeting:
How did you meet? Was it at an event organized specifically for finding your other half? By accident? Did you follow a mystical calling to them? Some other way?

oo2. Rejection:
Sometimes Sentinels or Guides propose a match but it's just not perfect. You don't feel the pull or maybe you think there is someone better or maybe you're already claimed. Maybe you were claimed and someone better came along?

oo3. Protection:
Sentinels are meant to protect Guides, any Guides, but it's even worse when they feel their Guide is in danger. They go feral; blind to anything but stopping and killing whoever threatened their Guide or the bond. Maybe someone attacked your Guide or you haven't bonded yet and you feel threatened or maybe you're the one doing the threatening. Whatever the reason, Sentinels in a feral state are dangerous and only their Guides can stop them.

oo4. Lost:
Sentinels often lose themselves in their senses. Either you're a Sentinel who has lost themselves or a Guide that has stumbled on one or a friend trying to draw them out. Unbonded Sentinels will find it hard to escape without a Guide. Or maybe you're bonded already which means you just need yours to come home.

005. Persecution:
Sometimes normal people or the government fear the power of Guides and Sentinels. Guides are empaths, feeling the emotions and sometimes passing thoughts of others and it can make people feel violated. Sentinels often have enhanced strength, which can make them dangerous. So they scorn them, hurt them or in the case of governments, regulate them.

oo6. Old-School:
Guides used to be treated on the same level as slaves. Unable to work unless their Sentinel said. Not allowed out on their own. They used to wear collars and couldn't own land or inherit money. Maybe the old ways haven't completely fallen out of style.

oo7. Unbonded:
Nothing sucks more than being an unbonded Guide or Sentinel. Always looking for your other half to fill that empty feeling but you probably have friends that aren't your match or who are trying to set you up with someone. Maybe you're skeptical about the whole love at first sight thing and haven't been looking.

oo8. Wildcard: Some mish-mash of the above or anything else you can come up with!

Comments

[dorkify]

She gives him a goofy, loopy grin at that. She is clearly not out of his league. She's here. She likes him; she's pretty sure that's she's going to (if she isn't already) fall in love with him. Besides, she's not sure how he can say that. He's brilliant, funny, kind, good-looking and incredibly sweet. All the other girls are just dumb and, apparently, hungry.

She does live several hundred miles away. That's a pretty big shoe.

"We can be wrong together," she tells him, bumping his shoulder with hers. She takes a sharp breath and watches him a moment, before ducking her head and letting her hair fall in front of her face. She wants to tell him how happy he makes her, how she doesn't want this to ever end, how she'd like to freeze any moment with him, including this one inside of a burger place, and just stay inside that moment. All of that seems like a lot though, so she doesn't say anything.

[namegenerator]

Cisco smiles and pulls her a little closer, so that he can kiss her temple as they move up in the line. "I like the sound of that," he agrees, letting her go again so that he's not crowding her or being too clingy.

While he might not know what she's thinking, Cisco catches that look and he huffs softly, half a laugh. "What?" he asks. He's prompting her, without pointing out that he noticed the way she was looking at him just then. He's curious, but he's giving her an out by having left the question open ended enough for her to brush it off with a simple, "nothing."

[dorkify]

It's not a bad way to be looked at, is it? Anyway, when he prompts her, she looks up at him and starts to brush it off. Instead, she pauses, trying to put the way she feels into words without sounding too schmoopy.

"You just make me really happy." She pauses, struggling between whether to say more or leave it be. "And I'm really hungry."

She thinks it's a compromise.

[namegenerator]

Cisco looks back at her, waiting for a response and wondering whether she's just going to brush it off and move forward — he might, if it was him; no way of telling without being in her shoes, he supposes — and he smiles, ducking his head a little when she answers. The thing is that being with Gracie this week has been the happiest Cisco can remember being in a really long time. So hearing that he's making her happy, too, it's sort of validating.

"You make me really happy, too, Gracie," he says quietly but sincerely. He wants her to know that she's not alone in that, because she isn't. There's not a damn thing about this whole situation that Cisco would change except maybe that she would live closer so that their happiness doesn't feel like it's on a timer.

He laughs, though, when she tacks on the latter part. "Yeah, that makes two of us, too," he replies, smirking.

[dorkify]

Oh, she considers it, but because their time together is limited, she thinks he ought to know it. She leans into him when he smiles and ducks his head, fingers reaching out to run through his hair and tuck it behind his ears.

That's the only thing that she'd change as well. She keeps teasing him about that teleportation device, but that would make things so much easier.

Once they're at the counter, Gracie orders a bacon cheeseburger, fries and a chocolate shake then looks to Cisco like 'beat that'.

[namegenerator]

Smirking with amusement, after Gracie orders hers, Cisco orders exactly the same thing. Except he orders everything in large sizes before returning Gracie's look with one of his own. How d'ya like me, now?

They wait off to the side until they're given their cups and Cisco leads her over to the fountain machines to get their sodas. "What do you wanna do after this? Anything you want," he says.

[dorkify]

Her only response is to laugh, turning her head to press her lips against his shoulder and stifle that laugh.

She gets a rootbeer to go with everything, considering her options. "Well, where do you usually go hang out with your friends in the evenings?"

[namegenerator]

Humming with consideration on his to answer that, Cisco smirks. It's not like the three of them have an awful lot of time to go out in the evenings. It seems like that's when the metahumans enjoy striking the city the most.

As he fills his cup with Dr. Pepper, Cisco gives a little shrug of his shoulders. "There's a karaoke bar Caitlin really likes that we go to sometimes, but we...kinda don't hang out that much, actually, outside work…" He doesn't tell her it's because more often than not, they're all at work. Sometimes, he actually thinks Caitlin might secretly live there, or something.

[dorkify]

Yeah, she doesn't know that though. She assumes that one the nights he's not at his place skyping with her, he's out with his friends being social.

That gets a gasp out of her. "You sing karaoke?" Because that sounds perfect. "That's what I want to do. We can go sing duets. It'll be fun." Yeah, she didn't hear anything past karaoke. "I'm not a great singer. Just a warning."

Also, if she can get him up there by himself, she's going to stand in front of the stage with her phone on lighter app and sway. If she'd known they were going to karaoke, she totally would have brought an extra bra to throw at him just to make him blush.

[namegenerator]

A bark of laughter slips out before he can stop it. "Oh my God, no," he says, shaking his head as he puts the lid on his soda and reaches for a straw. His fingers deftly unwrap it as he looks back at her. "Nobody wants to hear me sing. Nobody needs to hear that. But Barry does. And Caitlin, if she gets drunk enough," he laughs.

His eyes widen a little when she suggests that they sing a duet. At least she's not expecting him to be a great singer, he hopes, since she's admitting that she doesn't think that she is.

"Oh...oh, Gracie. It is going to take so, so much Jose Cuervo to get me up there..." he warns playfully as he pushes the straw into his lid with one hand and tosses the balled up wrapper into the trash with the other.

[dorkify]

"Have you been to karaoke, Boyfriend? Karaoke is not about great singing. Karaoke is about having fun," she tsks at him. She makes more of a mess of her straw wrapping than he does and doesn't even try to toss it in the trash from a distance.

The grin that spreads across her lips, yeah, that grin should worry him. "Well, we'd better get started right after we eat then." At least she'll be drinking with him. They can either get a taxi back or stumble drunkenly home together.

[namegenerator]

"Oh I've been, My Queen," Cisco replies, leading the way away from the soda machine and toward a table where they can actually sit and dig into their Big Belly Burger meals. "I'm just sayin'. Karaoke is for white people to make fools of themselves. Us brown folk just watch and laugh," he teases.

Settling into one side of the booth, Cisco lifts his eyebrows. "...what, tonight? You want to go tonight?" Cisco has clearly underestimated his girlfriend. He hasn't realized it yet, but he'll learn soon enough, that's for sure.

[dorkify]

She sits opposite him at the table so that she can see him without turning to the side. She also, almost automatically, stretches a leg so that she can rest her foot against his calf under the table. "Pffft, like I'm letting that slide. I make a fool of myself, you make a fool of yourself. That's how it goes," she teases him.

"Do we have other plans I'm not aware of? Is there a big event? Or is the event and plan karaoke? We can invite the others if you want," she offers, like that will make it all better and safer.

[namegenerator]

Shaking his head, Cisco grins around his straw as he sips his drink. "Yeah, that's not going to happen. There's no getting me up on that stage, I mean...not unless you want me so drunk you have to carry me home." He's putting his foot down on this one. The only problem is that he imagines Barry and Caitlin will gang up against him along with Gracie and he'll be totally screwed.

"No? I just...I mean we could ask the others if they're free, but I don't know if they will be or not with short notice. We don't go out that much, like I said, but I can always ask them," he offers with a smile. He didn't mean to make it sound like he wasn't interested or they had something else going, it had just taken him a little off guard, is all.

[dorkify]

She gives him an exaggerated pouting face. "I'd rather you not be that drunk because one, you're probably heavy and two, I couldn't take advantage of you that way."

"To clarify, I'm totally okay with it being just me and you. I'm just trying to make you more comfortable with this whole singing thing. In fact, you, me and some tequila sounds like a good night. Just as long as we avoid me carrying you home."

[namegenerator]

"Says who?" Cisco counters playfully. "Look, I'm giving my consent right now. You're good. Take advantage. ...please take advantage," he adds with a laugh. He gets what she's saying though and honestly, if the tables were turned in that hypothetical situation, he wouldn't take advantage either.

Cisco nods at her clarification and smiles. "I'm just saying...there's no way in hell you're getting me up there by yourself, I don't do karaoke. I watch and laugh. I do not participate." In other words, she's literally going to need Caitlin and Barry if she thinks she's going to get him up on that stage without getting him totally tanked first.
