The Firsts Meme

[wheesockies]

It's your first time! Whether it's first kiss, first date, or even your first child, your character will be plunged into the nervous or terrifying experience that is their first time.

The list:
1. First kiss. Pucker up!
2. First date. Who's paying? Dinner and a movie, or a night under the stars in the back of your convertible Corvette?
3. First time. You've been together awhile, and it's about time to consummate things.
4. First child. Was it an accident, or planned for? You decide!
5. First Anniversary. You've made it an entire year without killing one another! Time to break open the bubbly.
6. First pet. Dog or cat? Fish tank? Rhinoceros?
7. First house. Apartment in the city, or perfect white picket fenced home! Either way, better make the best of it.
8. First fight. And things had been going so well; is your relationship strong enough to outlast the tiffs?
9. First breakup. But they were your one and only! How will you cope with losing them? How will you ever manage to find another?
10. Make up your own! Or mix and match!

As per usual, the norms apply! Post a comment with your character, and others will use the handy dandy RNG to choose a random scenario, or they'll simply pick one they like! Keep rolling and playing your little hearts out, and enjoy!

[Brigid stops moving and lowers her eyes. She doesn't want to challenge the Alpha. Her eyes flare blue for just a moment as she lets the wolf slip around her control.]

My name is Brigid Finn.

[Yes, her name is 'Bride'. Licking her lips, she flicks her gaze up.]

May I speak to you, Alpha?

[inhaled]

[ She's formal. He likes that. It also wobbles his nerves further. It's been too long since he encountered a were that wasn't Omega-ed past the point of sanity, or suffering the agonizing irritation of newness. His sister had been a grandmaster of this brand of diplomacy.

His turn.

He advances, suddenly, audibly. It's not aggressive, but it's meant to be forward, declarational. It's fast. He slows on the approach, crunching leaves under boot. ]

Derek Hale. [ He eyes the surrounding trees, but there's no newer scent than hers. Definitely no pack waiting in the wings. He's been practicing this sort of Alpha posturing. The way he stands, the way he watches. A painstaking work in progress. He blinks red. ]

You're an Omega?

[bostonhowler]

[She doesn't flinch. She doesn't raise her eyes to look at him, either. It's respectful not to look the Alpha in the eye. Having grown up in a pack, she knows this. She does fidget uncomfortably. Normally, having an Alpha's full attention isn't always the best.]

Not by choice. My father was killed, and the Alpha told me to leave.

[A deep breath. There's growing things here. She can smell the rabbit that ran away from her, smelling the predator. Somewhere behind her, squirrels had abandoned their trees. Birds remained quiet, holding their breaths.]

I... do not wish to be Omega. I smelled your pack and sought you out.

[inhaled]

[ Well, it's an honest admission, though not a comforting one. The situation in Beacon Hills is always complicated, to say the least. He doesn't trust his own betas, werewolves turned at his own teeth, much less an eager outcast. Not that he'd heard or scented Erica and Boyd for at least a week.

It could be a ploy. It could be a poor fit.

He needs more betas. ]

Killed by what? [ Family drops like flies with the Hales. It doesn't make him callous to the tragedy, at all. To the contrary. But the question begs. Bad mojo can cling to world's end. ]

[She swallows hard. Tears gather on her lashes and Brigid forces them back. It's still a fresh wound. One that she doesn't understand, doesn't know how to even begin to understand.

Brigid stares at the ground and looks away from him, exposing a line of vulnerable throat - submission.]

The Alpha. I don't know why.

[She'd been at school, planning on going to the library after and spending a couple hours volunteering and then grabbing the few books she'd had on reserve. She'd thought her father on duty as a police officer. Instead...

Her fingers clench into fists and she blinks away the tears.]
