It's not all doom and gloom all the time. Don't beat yourself up! You are a total catch.

Panic! at the Bakerstreet
Sep. 25th, 2025 02:56 pmsockhopsolly posting in bakerstreet
Some of the coolest threads come from just putting characters in situations! This meme is a chance to do just that.
How to Play:
- No blank top-levels. Put a "don't panic, but..." statement in your top-level. Examples:
- "Don't panic, but my father's coming and I need you to hide me."
- "Don't panic, but everyone's throwing up."
- "Don't panic, but I think something just exploded around the corner."
- "Don't panic, but there's someone following you."
- "Don't panic, but your shoes clash with that purse really badly."
- Respond to other people's statements. Maybe you can help them. Maybe you can make the situation worse. Maybe you can't help but panic.
- ????

Sep. 25th, 2025 05:04 amgoddessplayer posting in dear_playerDo you not think I remember the smell of leather in my father's workshop? Am I so old, in your eyes, that you think I cannot recall such details anymore? I remember, girl. I remember, each and every time I have to pass through the costume-makers' halls and some tanner is doing his job well in there. I remember, each year when a new pair of sandals is sent to me from the Council. In this place, the new year is always marked by the scent of newly oiled leather. I remember.
Yet, what I remember ever more clearly, is whose priestess I am. Shantij is far removed from a leather-world, for starlight is scent-less and at night, we go barefoot. Our sandals are left at the end of the bed. The goddess' scent is the fresh air that wafts through the open window when you sleep. It may go unnoticed, but you would surely perish without it.
So it is with many things pertaining to the gods. They are unseen essentials. They shape us, whether we want them to or not. In the end, we might as well hold our breaths forever, before we can cast off their yoke.
Do you not breathe, when you sleep, player? I assure you, if you do, how much more deeply do you not breathe during your waking hours?
And, then, isn't that the case for all of us.

"Can You Handle Your Emotions?"
Emotions are... eh. We all have them, whether we want to or not. Some people have control over their emotions, and some people let their emotions control them.
Where does your character fall on this spectrum?
More importantly, what's their relationship with their emotions like? Do they bury everything deep, deep down inside, or are they the first one to cry over a sappy movie? Do they even know how they feel about what's going on inside?
Pretty meta stuff.
- No blank top-levels.
- Instead, characters are to respond to the proposed question: can you handle your emotions? / are you in touch with your feelings?
- Get deep. Look within. Hear, think feel... or don't.
Summoning my own demon gf and you can't stop me
Sep. 24th, 2025 08:21 pmprocessions posting in bakerstreet Everybody needs a sidekick. This includes those who may have a little help of their own in the form of magic - witches, warlocks, mages, sages, casters, magicians...whatever you want to call them, they have a bit more juice than your average Joe. Luckily, the job comes with a built-in assistant: a familiar, or a helper spirit. The familiar serves as a guide to their magical "Master" of their choice, helping them out of tight spots and being their companion for life. Sometimes, they come in the form of animals, like dogs and especially cats. Some don't bother with this, though, and just stay in their true humanoid forms. The bond between familiar and master is one of intensity, and they know each other completely. Most familiars even have a telepathic link to their masters. That helps them keep an eye on them. Of course, given this closeness-beyond-closeness, it's easy to imagine a master and familiar as soulmates, and with familiars having a human form...well, intimacy seems like a natural option. Too bad relationships of that kind between master and familiar are strictly forbidden. Surely, that rule is always followed. HOW TO PLAY
