☻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

[mightbeconcussed]

Amused and surprised aren't bad reactions. In any case, they're reactions that Lucy is accustomed to getting.

Lucy chats with the bartender a little, clearly knowing her while still staying close to and including Derek through body language. Derek has definitely been hanging around the wrong people if they want something in return for being friendly. He also, clearly, has never been to the South.

She bats her eyelashes and grins, clearly pleased by the compliment and his flirting. She clinks her glass delicately against his and takes a sip. "Do you always drink Four Horsemen?" It's a pretty heavy drink and she's curious, especially since he says he's not drinking to celebrate or forget.

[duelo]

Mostly, Derek keeps to himself; quiet and observing while Lucy talks with the bartender. He can tell that they already know each other and Derek finds himself wondering absently whether that's because Lucy's in here a lot or because they were friends independent of the Houndstooth. He doesn't ask.

Derek's eyebrows lift a little with question and drop back down again once he processes what she's asking. He's already forgotten the name of the drink.

"I don't usually drink at all, actually," he admits. "But I figure if I'm going to, I might as well knock myself on my ass, right? Make it count, or whatever," he replies.

[mightbeconcussed]

Lucy and the bartender have known each other since kindergarten. They're both from the same world, the same life, but Lucy is in here a lot. Sometimes she works here and helps Jill and the others out, but a lot of the time she's simply hanging out here. It's one of her favorite places in Itinere. It's a little slice of home because it's a bar from Lucy's home town.

Lucy laughs a little at that. "Alright then. I'll make sure to document it for you with video and pictures," she winks at him.

[duelo]

In spite of himself, Derek laughs a little. "Oh good, I wouldn't want to miss the opportunity for my first time getting intoxicated to be documented for future humiliating consumption, especially by someone I've just met tonight," he jokes back.

Actually, he's starting to wonder if he ought to have just bought a ton of liquor and taken it back to his apartment, because this, he's realizing belatedly, has the potential to be a mortifying experience; he's in public right now. He's in public and he's never been drunk and has no idea how that will affect him. He's seen drunks portrayed in a lot of different ways in pop culture, but largely there seem to be two dominant themes: the funny drunk and the violent one.

Derek's a werewolf. His very nature is violent. Suddenly, he's wondering if this might have been a horrible idea, after all.

Except that thought doesn't last terribly long after he downs the next drink and, apparently, the eclipse is in swing, because Derek immediately feels a little lighter, a little fuzzier, and a dumb, lazy grin stretches over his lips. "You do this a lot?" he asks, and there's not a slur, but the beginnings of one can be heard if she happens to really be listening. "Pick on stupid men like me because you're too pretty for us to want to tell you to go away?"

[mightbeconcussed]

"Never fear, I'm your girl," Lucy assures him, winking exaggerated at him.

But that wouldn't have been any fun and it's just sad if you're drinking alone at your house. Drinking alone in public is far more acceptable. At least there's the chance for it to become social drinking. In Lucy's experience, there are actually three kinds of drunks: the funny drunk, the violent drunk and the crying drunk. If he ends up violent, there's a good chance someone can help Lucy and Jill get him outside the bar. If he ends up the crying drunk...well, perhaps he ought to go home. She'll keep her fingers crossed for a funny drunk.

He'll never know until he tries.

It's obvious when the alcohol starts to take hold of him. Lucy bites her bottom lip around a grin, leaning closer to him. Her brows go up and she's about to ask him 'do what' when he clarifies. She laughs at that. "Only if they're very pretty, stupid men," she assures him.

[duelo]

Derek gives what he likes to think is the charming version of his smile, but at the moment, it's a little bit lopsided. Whatever this drink is, it's apparently worth the burn in the back of his throat.

Lucy is gorgeous and she's leaning closer and his eyes shift down to her chest for a second before he remembers himself and looks back up at her face. Rude. Rude, Derek, that's rude, he tells himself. That's all forgotten in an instant when she calls him pretty and he laughs a little, eyebrows lifted in amused incredulity.

"Pretty, huh? I don't know if I should be flattered or put out by that particular comment," he says, droopy, dopey grin still in place.

[mightbeconcussed]

Lopsided is adorable and much better than charming. Lucy almost reaches out to touch the corner of that lopsided smile, but she doesn't know him well enough for that.

Well, she is putting her cleavage on display when she leans over that way so he's forgiven, especially when he laughs that way.

"Okay, so do you like handsome or sexy better?" she teases him in return. "I'll let you take your pick, but choose wisely."

[duelo]

Derek's eyebrows lift at the question because, even in his increasingly inebriated state, he can tell that that's something of a challenge and she's kind of thrown down a gauntlet of sorts. He's just not sure what the "right" answer would be. So he narrows his eyes at her, giving her a playfully suspicious look.

"What if I choose wrong? You gonna leave me to drink alone like a pathetic loser?" he asks.

[mightbeconcussed]

The look makes her grin. Oh, he's going to be fun.

She laughs at that and shakes her head. "Nope, but only because of the aforementioned pretty factor. You may be helping me pick a new name for you."

[duelo]

"That feels like a loaded question, in that case," Derek says, giving his attention to the bartender again for a second to motion for another drink. Then he turns back to Lucy and lifts his eyebrows slightly in thought. He's giving this a lot more thought than he probably would if he was sober.

"If I say handsome, that's probably going to end up being a lame, boring name. But if I say sexy, that's probably going to be an embarrassing one. Damn, beautiful, you make this a hard choice to make," he points out. "Maybe you should pick and then I have someone to be mad at if the name is terrible." He lifts his chin a little, smirking at that.

[mightbeconcussed]

"It probably is," she admits, but without any shame. She takes a sip of her drink and orders another as well. Oh, he's an overthinking drunk. That can be fun too.

"Ooooh, I like that you don't want to go with the lame and boring," Lucy coos. And that he calls her beautiful, but they'll discuss that later. "It is a hard choice. I'm going to have to think about this. I'd hate for you to end up with the wrong nickname."

Jill puts the drinks in front of them. Lucy picks hers up. "A toast, to me coming up with exactly the right nickname for you."

[duelo]

"I'm not a lame and boring kind of guy," Derek replied with a grin.

He laughs a little as she finishes assessing the situation aloud.  "Yeah, you don't want to come up with the wrong nickname. That would be embarrassing for both of us," he insists, picking up the new glass and holding it up with a little grin in response to her toast.

"To you coming up with the right nickname," Derek agrees before clinking his glad gently against hers and then proceeding to knock the drink back.

[mightbeconcussed]

"Well that's a relief." Lame and boring would not be any fun and Lucy is all about fun.

"Right? I could go with the generic 'big guy' or 'tiger' or even 'gorgeous' but that could apply to almost anyone. I'd hate to do that to you. It might take me a little while to come up with something," she warns him.

She sips her drink while he knocks it back. She's very amused at this whole getting drunk thing. Oh well. They've got a cot in the back that Derek can sleep on if necessary. Jill refills Derek's drink and adds some extra mint to Lucy's glass.
