There's a reason you aren't supposed to love this person. You may have inherited it with your family name, or signed your own name beneath it years ago. You know what getting caught could cost.

You've learned to recognize their footsteps outside your door. Tonight, you're listening for them.

• Post your character, canon, and prefs.

• Pick or roll a prohibition (1–13) and a prompt (1–36), or make up your own.

• Decide how far things have gone and how bad getting caught could be.

You might have spent years dreaming of getting away, only to discover how unprepared you were when the chance finally came. Or perhaps leaving had never seriously crossed your mind until somebody held out a hand and asked you to come with them.

Now you're gone. You've got what you managed to pack, a little money if you're lucky, and someone who thought running away with you was a good idea. You haven't decided where you'll end up, and there's a decent chance the people back home won't take your disappearance well.

For now, you've got each other. You'll have to figure out the rest as you go.

• Post your character, canon, and preferences. Romance, found family, unexpected friendships, and reckless adventures are all welcome.
• Find somebody to run away with, or help another character make their escape. Work out what brought you together and what you're leaving behind.
• Choose a prompt, roll for one, or make up your own. Adapt the circumstances to your setting.

TEXTS I'LL NEVER SAY

Some things are easier to type. You don't have to get the words out. You don't have to watch their face while you do it. You can stare at the message for ten minutes, delete it, type it again.

Then you hit send.

• Comment with your character, preferences, and limits.
• Tag around with something your character would have a much harder time saying face to face.
• Pick a bank and a prompt, roll 1–15 and then 1–10, mix them up, or bring your own.
