TASK NO. 4: Partnered Threads

As promised two days ago, here is our partner activity! We’ve paired characters who haven’t really interacted and given each pair a scenario to serve as the premise for a thread. Please note that in-game, all of these scenarios are not taking place on the same day, and that in real time, everyone has as much time as they need to complete their threads. As always, if anyone has questions, please let us know.

This prompt is mandatory. Please like this post once you’ve seen it, and tag all of your threads with descentprompt004.

SCENARIO I: Research into demon related activity is vital for the war effort, as is the sharing of knowledge between species.

@opheliakeo and @iamdimitrihighsmith

SCENARIO II: The residents of the Institute have a wide range of skill levels. To get more people in fighting shape, experienced warriors have been tapped to train the novices.

@buchananfay and @caleblxfeuvre

SCENARIO III: Unusual activity has been detected in crowded mundane neighborhoods. Two pairs have been dispatched to Jackson Heights and Williamsburg, respectively, to do reconnaissance.

@kendallowens and @carolinexday

@matthxmas and @valberg-theon

SCENARIO IV: An altercation between a vampire and werewolf at Taki’s has snowballed into an even larger brawl. It must be stopped before blood is spilled.

@catalinadevalencia and @artemisxtrang

SCENARIO V: A Downworlder and Shadowhunter were sent to resolve with a minor issue, but got into a fight, news of which has come back to the Institute. Another pair has been dispatched to resolve the conflict and relieve them.

@clarissaxromanoff and @faery-lia

SCENARIO VI: Something has taken place which might be the work of a powerful demon. It could be a very difficult fight — or not.

@caiusfaust and @gxrardobeltrano

TASK NO. 2: Secret Santa

To celebrate the holidays, the Institute is holding a Secret Santa event! Everyone will buy a gift for someone, and receive one as well.

The (random) assignments will be sent out shortly, and we ask that no one reveals them. If you want to ask your character’s assigned recipient questions about their wishes, please do so via anonymous asks. Gifts should be ‘sent’ through the submit box.

This task is mandatory, and due by December 28th, 2017. Please like this post once you’ve seen it. Received submissions should be posted and tagged with descentprompt002 and descentsecretsanta.

TASK NO. 5: Moodboard

Since our previous task was a bit more writing heavy and serious, we thought we’d make this one simple: a gif moodboard to represent your character’s personality.

This task is optional but highly encouraged. Please like this post once you’ve seen it, and tag completed moodboards with descentprompt005.

TASK NO. 3: Proust Questionnaire

In this task we hope to encourage further character development and it is another way for us to see more about your character. Popularised by French writer Marcel Proust the questionnaire became a common way to further understand a person’s personality. Here we are using Vanity Fair’s version which can be found here, or under the cut. We ask that questions are answered from your character’s point of view. 

This task is optional but highly encouraged. Please like this post once you’ve seen it, and all completed questionnaires to be tagged with descentprompt003.
