Halloween SOTP
Sep. 14th, 2018 04:27 pmhere's a quick and dirty Halloween plot SOTP just because...
Baz: Won't be doing the plot. The most painful things in his past are mainly things that happened to him, like getting bit by a vampire and losing his mom at age 5, getting kidnapped by the Numpties, etc. Like he probably regrets fighting with Simon during HS but they're fine now and it's not really nightmare stuff.
Matthias: Won't be doing the plot. He's a great candidate because he was a literal piece of garbage for awhile and did some pretty sketchy stuff, but he worked through it so long ago (and with a similar sort of plot) so I can't really see the point in repeating all that.
Nicaise: Undecided. I could have him see the Regent, and flashback to all of that, because while his past relationship with the Regent was more something that was put on him, he does still feel shame and has a lot of self-blame, and he wasn't very kind. There are just a couple problems with this one, a) it's trauma he is already still dealing with, albeit functioning mostly okay, but either way it's triggery stuff (childhood sexual abuse)... b) that someone(s) would have to be willing to read/play through with me and it's heavy subject matter.
The main reason I would put him in this plot is because I could use this as an opportunity for Nicaise to open up to someone(s) about his past. Aside from Laurent, who already knows because of canon, Nicaise has been here for almost 2 years now and has still not told anyone about any of the past sexual abuse or his suicide attempt. So...maybe?
Verity: Probably. Verity is the best candidate for this plot for the sheer fact that she would be interested in the movie and go see it, which is honestly the #1 reason I want to put her in. XD So again if the past shame fits at all for this plot, then she would probably start hallucinating her past suicide attempts. AGAIN, TRIGGERY. But I'd need at least someone close with her who isn't doing the plot to thread off of. (That's my one concern with the plot, like if everybody is participating they're gonna be wrapped up in their own mindfuckery. (Though that could be its own extra mindfuck.))
Strange: Has to. I wasn't going to put him in, but I just realized while writing this that I kind of have to, because when he hears something's cursed HE'S GOING TO LOOK INTO IT. fuck. XD Well...I guess he'll be seeing past patients he turned away? Being a dickhead to people? DRIVING LIKE A FUCKING IDIOT AND RUINING HIS HANDS? Anything else? idk
I think mostly he'll be pissed off that he can't protect himself using his magic. Damn that Darrow magic... *shakes a fist at clouds*
