It's Spooky Season, Time For Spooky Season Memes

Monsters. They terrify, hunt, and haunt our nightmares. From the monsters of the soul to the monsters that can be killed, Halloween is all about embracing your inner monster be they creepy, kooky, mysterious, or spooky. Roll for monster class (or just play what you want). Tell people what you're doing in a comment. Then pick from a selection of prompts to get DW RP into that fabulous spooky season.

THIS MEME CONTAINS ADULT MATERIAL AND THEMES READ WITH CAUTION.

1) Human Monsters: Killers, tortured souls. These are the people who have lost their way or been forced to turn into something terrifying. Werecreatures, Vampires. These are the monsters that still retain enough humanity to remind their loved ones and their fellow former humans of just how far they've fallen - if they didn't just decide to embrace their inner darkness. (Examples include werewolves, vampires, zombies, killers, possessed humans.)

2) Never really human to begin with: For good or ill, you've encountered a selkie, a merperson, some unknown creature that was never human to begin with. Or you're turning into one and it's time to learn to walk on the wild side. Either way, enjoy dragging men to the depths, stealing personal possessions, all that good stuff. (Examples include Fairies, Selkies, Merpeople, loc ness monsters, plant creatures, insert folk lore monster here.)

3) On a totally other than human level: Demons, Angels, possessed creatures, ghosts. You've transcended the mortal coil - or you were never on it to begin with. Aliens buzz the earth, Ghosts haunt the living for good (or for ill), Demons drag souls to the depths, and Angels aren't nearly as nice as they look. While werewolves and vampires roam and monster-monsters live their lives - you're on a totally different level. (examples include demons, ghosts, aliens, angels, spirits, poltergeists, all that good stuff.)

4) Monster Hunter: You can't have monsters without monster hunters, but that's the point. This isn't a picnic. Just ask a Winchester how bad it is that your loved one has turned into something from beyond the grave. This isn't a walk in the park. Kill or be Killed, Eat or become something else entirely. You're about to embark on the fight of your life. After all, someone would argue you're a monster too.

1.) Hey there little red riding hood Introductions. Either you're a monster, you're hunting a monster, or you're just out living your life you've run across something unexpected and now you've got to decide if you'll fight or flee. Be warned, whoever you've encountered might not let you go so easily...

2.) I'm going hunting Hunting can look like a lot of things for monsters. Either you're dragging men to their depths, sniffing your way through the woods, or driving along a dirt road because you heard reports of something not right out by the old farm house, this is you hunting. Do you have a team? Are you going it alone?

3.) Baby did a bad bad thing Either you're new to this monster lifestyle or you've just done what nature intended but you just did something terrible and you need someone to come and clean up the mess - or someone's caught you in the act. Is it totally mundane? Is it something out of a kubrick film? Are your friends/loved ones/the police cool with it?

4.) Let's make a deal It's come to this. An impasse. You've been summoned (or done the summoning) and you have a chance to make a deal. Or - you've managed to calm the creature that's about to rip your throat out. Make your deal, convince your attacker why you should live. Does it go good? Bad? all depends how quickly you can talk about it...if you're not just planning on killing them outright...

5.) The enemy of my enemy: Team up time! Much like Godzilla teaming up with humanity, much like every good vampire teaming up with the protagonists, it's time for you to team up against a bigger threat. either it's a master something or the world is ending but this is the team up post. Hash out the details, get the guns, it's time for the 3rd act fight fest.

6.) Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Team up? More like - screw up. You've trusted the wrong creature, you're turning against humans/Your Fellow Monsters. you've decided to give into those feral instincts that well inside you. Fingers crossed your party doesn't light you on fire. Good luck to both parties involved.

7.) The day is saved The team up worked, the monster is defeated, or the monster has accepted their monster-fate and will now live as something better (or worse) then human. Celebrate - or accept that the nightmare is never really over. Do you continue the fight?

8) The Normal Monster Prompt: Monsters. They're just like us! They shop, they try and function. This is the Addams family prompt. Weird shit follows them but truthfully if monsters are an allegory for people accepting themselves and people who are different naturally this is the point where you're a monster just trying to do your thing. Hunters trying to stab you while you go to work? sailors hitting you with oars? Just another day.

9 The monster porn option: What it says on the tin. Just mark it for the kids kids.

10 Wildcard The - "Bakerstreet needs more spooky memes because it's halloween" option. Do whatever you want just make it creepy.
