[insert quote about Ohana meaning family here or something]
How does it work? Simple! Choose a relationship (or roll for one, if it suits your fancy), and then RNG for a situation! That, or just go straight for whatever situation appeals to you. These are all fairly vague: just something to start you off! Parent-Child 1. Rock-a-Bye How do you get a fussy child to sleep? Read them a story, sing them a lullaby, or just let them stay up until they exhaust themselves? Whatever the choice, it is time for bed. 2. For The First Time You've never met this person in your life, but it turns out they're one of the two reasons you exist. Maybe they walked out when you were young. Maybe they never knew you were born. Whatever the reason, it is now time to meet them. 3. Past Midnight That curfew was set for a reason. Now it's two AM, and your kid is just now dragging in. Maybe they're drunk. Or got into a fight. Or just had way too much fun snogging their new love interest. It's time for them to face the music. 4. New Home It's the first day of your new life together, as parent and child. Whether it's through adoption, a basket on the front steps, or a wish come true, both of you are going to have to learn to take your steps together. 5. Holiday It could be Christmas, Easter, or just a birthday, but it is time to celebrate! Get together for some good old-fashioned family fun. 6.Take To Work Day What your parents do for a living is the quickest thing that can turn a kid from boring to the coolest on the block. So whatever the job, from accountant to zookeeper, go to work! 7. You're Not My Real Dad Being a step-parent (or step-child, for that matter) can be tough. Problem is, you're stuck with each other. So whether you're yelling or just having an awkward conversation, it is time to work things out. 8. Unexpected Guardian So you're not the parenting type. Too bad. Situation calls for someone to step up to the plate and look out for this kid, and you're the only one near base. Have fun with that. Siblings 1. Protective Big Sibling Okay, look. No one gets to mess with your sibling but you. Your little brother or sister is in trouble; let them know you're going to be the one to take care of it. 2. Ruining The Night So your sibling has a hot date. You know what that calls for? Making their lives a living hell. 3. Newcomer Who is this new kid in your house? Your family has adopted, and now you have to call this stranger family. Welcome them into the house, or let them know how much they aren't wanted. 4. Blood Brothers So maybe you aren't really related to this person. That doesn't matter. You're going to change that, right now. In this moment, you will become family. Nothing can break this bond. 5. Middle of the Night It's the middle of the night. Your car is broken down, or you're drunk, or you need bailed out, or you just got beat up, or someone just broke up with you. Whatever just happened, it's time to call your sibling and hope they can bail you out. 6. Sibling Rivalry Nobody understands what jerks siblings can be! Always in your stuff, messing up your relationships, getting in your way -- it's time for an all out brawl, whether that means yelling, pranking, or fists flying. 7. Long-Lost Maybe you've heard of this person. Or maybe they are entirely new to you. However, you've gotten the information that you're more than strangers: you're family. Welcome to each other's lives. 8. All Alone Once your family was whole. Or maybe it never truly was. Whatever the case, the world is a big, dangerous place, and you've only got one person left to rely on: your sibling. Uncle/Aunt-Niece/Nephew 1. Sent Away There's something bad going on at home, and you've been sent away to "safety." Problem is, how safe is this relative really? Are they the kooky, cool kind of Aunt, or are they a crazed Uncle after your fortune? Time to find out. 2. Taking You In Something's happened to your niece/nephew's parents, and it's time to step up and do your family duty. They've got nowhere else to go, after all. 3. The One We Don't Talk About So maybe the family is a little bit...ashamed of you. You're a bit mad, or you've done something they just don't like. Yet you want to be part of your niece/nephew's life, and whatever their parents say, you'll find a way. 4. Grand Adventure Maybe you came out of nowhere, or maybe you've just been keeping secrets. But you aren't an ordinary aunt/uncle, and it's time to take your niece or nephew on a very wild ride. 5. Like A Parent To Me Sure, you have parents, but this person is who your parents should be like -- or maybe who you feel should be your parent in the first place. Let them know how you feel about them. 6. Don't Tell Mom Aunts and Uncles have special qualities. Like, sometimes, being a bit more lenient than Mom and Dad might be. So you have a, er, sensitive problem? It's time to run to them. In A Relationship 1. New Baby On The Way The panicking is already over, but there are still preparations to be made. Maybe you need to set up the nursery, or you've got the best idea for your soon-to-be child's name. 2. Romeo & Juliet You love this person. Perhaps more than life itself. But it is time to break the bad news: your family will never approve. 3. I Think I Might Be Pregnant Somehow, you are pregnant. And you think you know who the father is...time to break the news. 4. While You Were Away You've been gone years, only to come back and find your beloved has a child...with your eyes. Other Of course, you are free to make up your own scenario, or do a relationship not done here! " |
DANG!!
Yeah... that kinda was, wasn't it.
[The hand is welcome, though. Sans closes his hand around hers. He looks down and relaxes a little. Not that something was intensely bothering him. He was worried about Frisk all the same (in more ways than one, but that's another story), but something about this just felt... well. He couldn't really put his finger on it yet.]
Heh. All I did was provide the blanket burritos.
[And after uttering something as romantic as "blanket burritos", Sans brings her paw to his teeth - the skeleton equivalent of a kiss on the hand. Something he was a lot more flustered about when they first started dating. Finally, he settles into the couch.]
I guess it's just... different, you know? Compared to looking after my brother.
[He's also trying to get used to, you know, talking about how he felt. It helped that Toriel always made it a lot easier.]
no subject
But they were very comforting burritos...oh um.
[Having her hand grace against skeleton teeth was different than say lips or a muzzle, but it was oddly comforting like wood sanded to the smoothness of marble. She always was surprised how warm her hand and face felt.
She brought her train of thought to a screeching halt as she scooted much closer. Nothing too public display of affection here, just getting more comfortable.]
Yes...it's much different...back when I tried taking care of Frisk of my own I guess you could say I was busy thinking of everything to do…
[She makes a small bleating goat laugh. She knew Sans had problems getting how he felt out there, so it was always an equal exchange.]
Now I have more room to worry about other things!
...I have you to thank for that.
oh jeez sorry for all these tl;dr-ey tags lately btw
[Referring to the kiss on the and, her "um" throwing him slightly. He didn't want to make Toriel uncomfortable, naturally. Sans was awkward when it came to dating, but he also wasn't the pushy type. Not that he wasn't affectionate, but it was also an enormous step up from his his first tries at flirting.
Still, she scooted next to him, so that was probably a good thing. Sans lulls his head toward Toriel and he lays his other hand over his "stomach" (re: how). He seems to ease just a little more as she laughs. God help him, her laugh was reaLLY CUTE HELP THIS MONSTER.]
To be honest? You were kiddin' when you said you worried a lot.
[His grin goes teasing, and he winks.]
No problem, Tori. I always figured bein' a mom-ster was a full-time gig. You know me and doing nothing, but... eh. I figured I could pitch in some part-time work. [That's a joke. Promise.] Maybe Papyrus is finally ribbing off on me. He said he'd make a good mom... s'another dream of his.
[And after a moment, he shrugs. It's a weird moment to decide to be modest, but hey.]
If it helps, you make it look easy. I just never thought I'd be, y'know... halfway decent at the "mom" thing too.
[PURPOSELY AVOIDING THE "D" WORD.
IT'S NOT "DICK".]
never apologize for following your literary heart
[To be honest, it went much better than that disastrous attempt. If it could be called an attempt. But Toriel was not Cassanova, it had been so long since she had a relationship much less take part in this 'dating'.
She found his little jokes, as bad as they can get, to be quite adorable. There was just...something refreshing about him. He was just a sentry and yet he took responsibility for himself, for Papyrus. He seemed to value people, even if he didn't try to show it.
Plus he was so small and round...like a little blueberry. How could any monster not find that cute? She smiled, patting his headd for assurance, ]
No! No...it was just enough.
[Oh my gosh, he can't say he's a dad...this cute little skeleton man may be the death of her.]
You and your brother are very much alike...except for one thing. I don't think he'd make a good 'mom' as you~
perfect ok, also never let it be said that i can't write really corny sap
But it also didn't help that, while he was coming to terms with his crush, he was painfully aware he had a thing for the ex-queen of all monsters. Of course, that had nothing to do with all the reasons he liked (and now loved) her. It was just hard to forget as he gathered the courage to ask her out, always remembering that she was literal royalty and he was a dork, a slob, and a secret screw-up all piled into one useless bag of bones.
Weird, how he suddenly cared about all that when it came to her.
Luckily, Toriel is a dork too. So here they were, Sans looking at her like she was still royalty. You know, as he was sinking into the couch and she was patting his head, but still. It's romantic. Whatever.]
Good.
[Aaaaaand cue a certain sick kid snort-snoring from the other couch. Sans glances over to Frisk and, after a moment, starts quietly snickering. Yep, they're going to be just fine. Okay, okay, okay. Back to Toriel.]
Whoah, hey. That's a bold statement, Tori. I'm pretty sure my bro could beat me in a mom contest.
perfect yummy sap
Seeing him at last was only a small surprise (haha), but now they had all this time to actually exchange puns right next to each other. It was almost like nothing changed, really. They were like good friends...friends that brought to life something she felt gone for a long time. Something mature and affectionate.
Yes, just like friends. Friends with romantic inclinations.
Sometimes she forgets her strength. She lifts her hand slightly, giving a light bleating laugh.
Poor child, at least they sounded better...which was better than what she was afraid of. At least they had Sans looking after them. Sans was always there for them, wasn't he? She was grateful a monster like him kept his promise.]
Oh but Sans, I'm dating you. You don't want me to date your brother, hmm?
[Sorry Sans, she had to.]
You need to give yourself credit, Sans...you did much for Frisk and me…
no subject
Anyway, Sans quirks a non-existent eyebrow.]
Wow, Tori. Awkward.
[HE CAN TELL YOU HAD TO BUT STILL?? Whatever, though. Judging by the grin still on his face, he obviously doesn't take it too seriously. But then it goes back to something a little more serious, and he averts his eyes again.]
Yeah... well. [You'd be dead where you stand. He feels sort of bad about that now.] I'll give it a shot. Just so you know, though, Tori... it's just a cold. They're gonna be just fine.
no subject
She raises her shoulders, embarrassed at her own frankness.]
--no no! Of course not, Sans. I merely wanted to partake in your jokes!
[She relaxes her posture when she sees the skeleton has no animosity in his expression.]
...yes. Maybe I am worrying about it too much...but, I cannot help but worry.
[Her expression withers to something somber.]
It's all I can do.
no subject
Tori, I'm kiddin' back. When'd you ever not?
[Partake, he means. Either way, she seems to get the joke, so he drops it. Going back to Frisk, though... Sans frowns.]
Hey. Heyheyheyhey. [The same hand that he was jokingly patting is getting held now. This is happening, okay.] You do a lot more than that, y'know.
no subject
She grabs that same hand that joked, now holding hers. Sans was simple, but she felt he knew more than he let others think.
It wasn't a bad thing, no. On the contrary, it was nice.]
You think so, Sans?
I try...just like you do. It's what I like about you. You try in your own way.
no subject
'Course I think so. Who else gives a human kid a home, a bed, and a pie all in one morning? You got a lot more to give than you know. That's why you deserve a breather sometimes, yeah?
[And Sans would know. He was the king of Taking Breaks... as well as Seldomly Following His Own Advice. As for Toriel's compliment, he goes quiet for a moment...
... then shrugs.]
Heh. Dunno about that, but... thanks.
