MEET ME AT
THE MIDWAY
THE MIDWAY
By sunset, the midway is all bright bulbs and overlapping music, with rides turning overhead and somebody calling you over to a game you absolutely do not need to play. There is fried food on paper trays, cheap prizes hanging from every booth, and just enough noise to make standing close feel practical.
Stay until your feet hurt. There is always one more thing worth doing before the lights go out.
HOW TO PLAY
- Comment with your character and preferences.
- Tag around and choose or roll 1–21.
- Head for the midway and thread.

Best Friend to More
| There's nothing in this world quite like a true, blue best friend that you can rely on. They've been with you through thick and thin, good and bad. You want to have fun? They're the first person you look for, because they always know how to bring the best out in you. You need a shoulder to cry on? Don't worry, they're already here. You need to bury a body? ...you should probably reconsider your priorities, but you know your best friend will be there with a shovel and a smile. You'd never ruin this friendship for ANYTHING in the world. Something's brewing that may do just that, though. One of you has feelings, has for a long time, and that spells trouble. Unless you keep that to yourself and remain platonic, of course. Repression in this case might be a good thing. Only it's too late. The cat's out of the bag, whether it's by confession or by accident. What to do, what to do? If feelings aren't returned, can you turn down a friend, or will you force something that isn't there just to make them happy? If feelings are returned, will you risk changing the perfect thing you have?

cuddle up
Sep. 14th, 2026 12:25 ammemed posting in bakerstreet
Post with your character! They're now stuck in a very cold place of your choice. It can be anything, such as a freezing chamber, a cavern or a small cabin in the midst of a blizzard. The choice is up to you.
Comment around! Now your character has some company in this bone-chilling environment. The two of them share two things in common: clothes completely unfitting for this weather (be they summer clothes or even lingerie) and a blanket.
A blanket? Yes, just one warm blanket and no other ways to escape the cold. The two of them will have to share it in order to stay alive in this weather. Don't worry, you're sure to find a common language in this terrible situation!
So, uh, have fun, I suppose. Try to not freeze to death!
Protip: friction and body heat are both excellent ways to fend off cold.
🥧 september word association 🍂
Sep. 14th, 2026 12:03 amfourhearts posting in bakerstreet
Word Association is a common word game involving an exchange of words that are associated together. The game is based on the noun phrase word association, meaning "stimulation of an associative pattern by a word" or "the connection and production of other words in response to a given word, done spontaneously as a game, creative technique, or in a psychiatric evaluation." ~ our lord and saviour wikipedia GUIDELINES
② include a word of your choice and optionally the definition in the body of your comment. -- visit the random word generator if you need help! ③ other characters will reply with the first word their character associates with the one you chose. ④ continue back and forth until one of you just has to know the story behind an answer. |
Would you rather
Sep. 13th, 2026 08:41 pmreversesock posting in bakerstreet
How to Play
One person asks "Would you rather...?" followed by two options. They can range from mundane to outrageously horrific: be a cat OR be a dog, save starving children in Africa OR have a real working lightsaber, etc. Others decide which they would choose of the two given options. Friendships are created or destroyed.
The Rules
1. Comment with your character with a "Would you rather...?" starter.
2. Respond to other characters with your character's choice out of two (probably horrible) choices.
3. DISCUSS.

Sep. 13th, 2026 04:32 pmenginesock posting in bakerstreetMAFIA ROMANCE
Some people inherit family businesses. On occasion, that inheritance comes in the form of organized crime. Hey...a job's a job.
Whether your character was born into the life, dragged into it kicking and screaming, or just made the mistake of falling for someone with too many expensive suits and more enemies: ciao. This meme's got dramatic glances across smoky restaurants, deals that go sideways, fake engagements that get inconveniently real, bodyguards with no sense of personal space because who needs it, rival families, loyalties you struggle to keep straight, and romance that probably needs a lawyer on retainer.
Play it straight or melodramatic or so full of yearning it could power this murky city's grid. Historical, modern, cobbled together from every crime movie you've watched at two am? Doesn't matter. Thread it out. Do Pacino proud. Slice-of-life with a criminal empire in the background works. For the record, so does a full-on blood feud.
RULES
• Comment with your character and preferences. Nothing novel.
• Tag around.
• Specify if you prefer gritty realism, complete melodrama, or pure romance.
• Apply content warnings if needed for gore, violence, etc.

Intimacy
Sep. 13th, 2026 09:11 amkhaldrogos posting in bakerstreetThe Intimacy Meme
Intimacy is NOT necessarily about sexual contact. Intimacy is all about two people forming a connection and bond between them. That involves becoming best friends, trusting each other, knowing each other, understanding each other. Intimacy is grown and developed, it can't be rushed.
RULES
- Comment with your character. Be sure to include preferences (ie, f/f for shipping, OTA for gen, etc)
- Tag others!

Communal bath
Sep. 12th, 2026 01:35 pmprocessions posting in bakerstreet You've been traveling for days. Or, knowing you people, you just got out of a fight. Whatever your outer (and inner) turmoil, you're just chuffed to finally get some hot water and rest. To your delight and surprise, the bath is even better than you could have ever imagined. The digs could range from a secluded hot spring in the mountains, a marble pool in some obscenely rich mansion, or a surprisingly nice bath on a starship. It's great. Unfortunately, you don't get to enjoy it alone. Do you pretend you don't see them and look forward? Try to strike up small talk? Help them with washing the caked dirt out of their hair? There's always the option to sink down to your chin and pray they don't bother you. Hop on in, the water's grand.
