the monster meme Darkness falls across the land; the midnight hour is close at hand... And whosoever shall be found Without the soul for getting down Must stand and face the hounds of hell And rot inside a corpse's shell Michael Jackson's Thriller Who doesn't love a good monster? How you go about this meme is entirely up to you. Your character can go full on beast mode, or we can see a vampire who looks as normal as you or me. Looks can be whatever, so don't feel as if you have to follow the classic tropes [unless you want to]! Mix-and-match prompts, roll the dice, create a totally new monsterized version of your character, and live your best October life. — comment with your character + prefs + what kind of monster you'd like to see your character turn into. —cause chaos.

Whenever...

1. the full moon rises,


2. the clock strikes midnight,


3. that time of the month begins,


4. you lose control of your emotions,


5. you see someone in danger,


6. you want it to happen,


7. you find yourself acting selfishly,


8. some trigger that you decide comes to fruition,

 

you turn into a(n)...

1. werewolf, complete with shedding fur and pack dynamics, if that's your thing.


2. vampire, which makes looking in the mirror to get ready for the day impossible.


3. kelpie, a fan favorite for all the former horse girls out there.


4. ghost, and it this new social media trend of being 'ghosted' has got nothing on the real thing.


5. merperson, and you're really tired of hearing fish puns.


6. fae, with Tinkerbell representing your entire species.


7. alien, or something equally out of this world.


8. dryad, and everyone loves a cool, nature-based creature!


9. naga, and, no, snake-charming will not work on you.


10. angel, with a halo that stays on mostly straight.


11. kraken, which isn't the death sentence it used to be given how many people love their tentacle creatures.


12. arachne, which is it's own kind of nightmare for those who fear spiders.


13. demon, and you don't spend as much time hanging around on strangers' shoulders as people think.


14. a different creature, and that only makes life harder for you.

This has been the case ever since...

1. you were a child.


2. you turned eighteen.


3. you disobeyed that one golden rule.


4. you were bitten by that creature.


5. you were cursed.


6. today. Ever since today. This is some new shit.


7. you were killed and brought back to life in this new form.


8. this was foretold in a vision.


9. you have no idea; this just sort of happened.


10. you discovered that you're the chosen one.


11. some other AU backstory you feel like dreaming up.

 

And, to make matters worse,

1. transformation is an incredibly difficult/painful/awkward process.


2. you have a taste for human flesh/blood.


3. this is the first time that anything like this has ever happened, and you're so confused and concerned!


4. the wrong person has spotted you in this monstrous form.


5. you've fallen in love with a human.


6. you've fallen in love with a rival monster species.


7. you're stuck this way until true love's kiss breaks the spell.


8. you're stuck this way until you learn how to be a good person.


9. a new monster superpower is making life difficult for you.


10. you're having trouble blending in.


11. you can only come out at night/during the day.


12. you have to fulfill someone's wish in order to change back into a human.


13. certain foods make you extremely ill.


14. you're horny, but monstrously so.


15. you're having trouble controlling your monstrous inclinations.


16. some different sort of trouble.

meme; night market

[see_the_stars]

  

Welcome to...

The Night Market

Even as the sky gets dark, there's still a lot of lights and life all over this busy street full of people. Vendors and customers from all over come to share and appreciate their creations, taking in this lively atmosphere. Eat, drink, be merry - but watch out for pickpockets and price gouging.

Rules:

1. Comment with your characters. Feel free to specify if they're a vendor/merchant, performer, or someone just here to enjoy the market.
2. Hang out, meet new people, laugh at the bootleg toys, and stuff your faces with good food and drinks.

meme; escorting

[see_the_stars]

  

ESCORTING a meme for people of the night   They say that sex work is among the oldest professions in the world. In this case, workers are employed by agencies, or they're operating independently. They're solely here for sex, or they're offering a more robust range of services. Hey, we're not telling these people how to do their job, and you shouldn't either. — comment with your character + prefs. — schedule your meeting and pay in a timely fashion.

some ideas. Advertisement. In the age of the internet, it's not unusual for people to advertise their services online, either on a personal website or on a community marketplace. What does your advert say about you? Dial-A-Hottie. Ring-ring! It's a step below the internet, but some people still read the classified ads, right? Maybe they found your advertisement there. Social Services. The 'classier' sort of escorting. Think of it like like paying for someone's company. Sex may or may not be on the table at the end of the night, but sometimes it's enough just to get lunch together and talk about things. Date Night. You've got a big event and you need someone on your arm. Why not hire an escort? Partner Experience. Pay for someone to do all the boyfriend/girlfriend things without actually being your boyfriend/girlfriend. It's emotional intimacy, sexual pleasure, and a hint of love all rolled into one. Closeness without commitment! Out-Call. A rendezvous at a hotel, motel, or somewhere equally as impersonal? In-Call. Going straight to the client's house? Traveling Companion. Going overseas for work/vacation could be far more fun with someone by your side. Host Club. Paying for attractive people to give you lots of attention and make you feel like the most important person in the world? It's escorting if you squint. Bodyguard. You know, those escorts who literally escort you around town and keep you safe. Other things might happen later, but there's more function to this hire-on. Reasons. What are you hiring an escort for, anyway? Are you lonely? Lazy? Short or time? Meanwhile, what got the escort in this situation into this line of work? Short on money? Wildcard — How your character approaches this position is up to you!
