An excerpt from the book Thus Comes the Reckoning:
Sleepers will also feel violently protective of those they love. They will want to make sure that the violent crimes happening to other people doesn't happen to their people and they might go to such extremes as locking their loved ones up so that nothing can get to them. It's an obsessive need to protect and not let go. Someone might even feel so inclined as to kill their friends just to make sure that no one else can hurt them.
On the flip side, those who manage to resist the violent urges will be more inclined to help those who are violent. Even if you are someone who has never wanted to help another person, you will be drawn to do good. It's not impossible to talk others down, to sway them to being better people and to remembering who they are. It's just a lot of work. But still, those who are impacted by the good will feel that same need to protect others; only for them, it doesn't have to necessarily be someone they know. They want to do the right thing, to protect people from themselves. Unlike the evil, they will know there are limits, and they will not hurt others in their attempt to protect them. But they may end up being willing to, possibly uncharacteristically, sacrifice themselves to do so.
QUICK FACTS: 1. You can only be impacted by The Good or The Evil at one time. Someone who is Good can be corrupted into becoming Evil. If someone is talked down from being Evil, they can either go back to being their normal selves, or they can become impacted by The Good instead. This can happen as many times in the month as possible, but they can only be Good or Evil at one time. You can not be both at once.
2. Characters who can usually heal demons/possessions/etc. can cure Evil in people. Their powers will work the same as they would in their canon/from their blood powers. Game based items that would normally cure corruption however will NOT work to cure Evil. They will still work to cure corruption/beasthood.
3. The Reckoning can still punish you. Just because you're being influenced by outside forces won't matter to her. If she catches you doing something bad and it isn't for revenge purposes, she will punish you as she sees fit. This is left up to player interpretation.
Are we inherently good or evil? Are we hard-wired for empathy? Or is violent behavior our innate reaction when the world has done us wrong? This is something that has been debated for centuries, even in the times Before Sodder. Have we evolved since the Dreamless World? Since the Nightmare? Have the Pthumerians and their blessings made us more peaceful and understanding?Sleepers will find themselves encouraged towards violence. Many will be drawn to do evil. They will feel a pull to hurt others, particularly those who have hurt them first. Anger will seem like a natural state and many will find that they have lost all ability to reason when they become even minorly frustrated. Vigilante justice will seem like a great idea. Did someone hurt your loved one? Then tear them apart! Did a person borrow something from you and never return it? End them. Criminal activity will skyrocket, particularly violent criminal activity, throughout the month of July. People will feel more inclined to steal, to damage property, to kill, and to get revenge. Torturing others will seem like a perfectly reasonable idea. It is the month to do so and it might even feel good to hurt other people.
While it is true that our world is more generous and caring than the ones we have read about in the Dreamless World, where in spite of our shortages, we want for nothing that we truly need, the very existence of corruption and beasthood should speak of our true natures and of the true natures of Sleepers. There is no time that this is more prominent in our world than in the month of July, when the Reckoning holds sway.
It is unclear if it is the unbearable heat, the Pthumerian's influence, or perhaps just our true selves coming forth, but each July is the prelude to chaos. The pleasantries die off, the generosity wanes, and we forget the lessons of our more kind and gentle benefactors. Fist fights over minor disagreements, people attacking one another with weapons when they don't get their way or wait too long in line, and murders over the loss of a game. Does the summer make monsters of us all? Or does the Beast Moon simply encourage what is already inside of us?

CONTENT WARNINGS: Star-Crossed lovers, encouraged suicidal ideation, possible death
Love. A complicated feeling that puts people into complicated circumstances. And yet, people will find themselves focused on this emotion more so than usual this month. For someone who is already in love, the emotions will become even stronger, almost overwhelming, wanting to burst out of them like a song. For those who were not in love before, they may find themselves suddenly easily falling for others. Maybe they will love multiple people or maybe just one, but love will be an all consuming emotion to those who fall victim to it.
The only problem is that love isn't always accepted. People who are deeply in love will suddenly start to feel persecuted and judged from those around them. They will feel as though their love is unallowed, that the person that means the most to them is being rejected by their family, their friends, by society itself. It doesn't matter if that's the truth: there's just something inside of people that makes them thoroughly convinced that their love is not meant to be. Star-Crossed. Unattainable.
There will be an increased urge to solidify that love as being real and unbreakable. Maybe this is done through fighting back against those who are saying no. Maybe it comes in the form of secretly saying vows and loved ones spiritually tying themselves together forever. Or maybe in the end, the only true way that lovers feel they can truly be together... is in death. All of these will seem like reasonable options— or maybe even the only option. Love is never ending, after all, even if life is.
QUICK FACTS: 1. Anyone can fall in love with anyone else. It doesn't have to be the character that you're already shipping with if all players agree! You can fall in love with someone you know, someone you've just met, or even a total stranger. Love is a gift to everyone, right??? Who needs pesky things like introductions.
2. You do not have to commit suicide. You can, of course, and many will definitely feel drawn to it with the basis of the prompt, but it is not required. Please make sure to mark all threads accordingly!
3. The persecution against your relationship does not have to be real. You can, however, tie this into the first prompt, and have even the smallest slights be reason to think that your love is persecuted. Similarly, people who are impacted by the first prompt may be more likely to actually shun those who are in love. Feel free to work with it however you see fit!

WHERE: All over, but particularly by the ocean.
CONTENT WARNINGS: Self-hatred, judgement, suicidal ideation, homicidal ideation, possible drowning.
WHERE: All over, but particularly by the ocean.
CONTENT WARNINGS: Self-hatred, judgement, suicidal ideation, homicidal ideation, possible drowning.
Everyone has personal flaws. Things about themselves they don't like, reactions they wish they didn't have, habits that they want to break. Sometimes the awareness of flaws can outweigh the awareness of our strengths as well. It's easy to get caught up in the feeling that we're less then perfect, that we'll never be able to fix ourselves no matter what we do.
This month, those feelings seem to be amplified. Sleepers will see flaws everywhere; in the people they love, in the Trenchies, and most heavily in themselves. Feelings of self-hatred and judgement will be amplified and even those who are usually confident in themselves will find that they're suffering from it. Sometimes these feelings may manifest as a simple bout of anger and depression; but for others, it can become more severe quickly.
Those who find themselves suffering heaviest from these feelings will feel called to the ocean. Maybe it's a desire to go back to a squid form, a place that's simpler and more straight forward. Or maybe it's the unbearable heat that's putting these thoughts in someone's head and they'll feel like going for a swim would cure it. But there's something inside everyone that knows that if they go into the ocean, they might not come back out again.
Sleepers will feel like the ultimate judgement is waiting for them out there. If they are seeing flaws more in themselves, being by the ocean will amplify feelings of suicide. If they're seeing flaws in everyone else, they might feel compelled to bring those people down to the ocean to drown them. The ocean, associated so heavily with rebirth, could be the very thing to cleanse people of their imperfections, after all. Maybe it would be a favor to everyone if someone just gave in and tried to fix themselves and others. For the good of Trench.
QUICK FACTS: 1. These feelings can cause people to become more corrupt. The longer they are exposed to these feelings, the closer they will get to high levels of corruption, and eventual beasthood.
2. Because these feelings can cause corruption, they can also be relieved through the same methods as corruption. Talking, touching, Moon Drops, get some therapy, whatever the player chooses.
3. People who do not address their feelings and/or who spend too much time by the ocean will inevitably deal with feelings of suicide and/or homicide. Please be sure to handle these topics appropriately and content warn your threads.

His lips press even more firmly against hers, opening on instinct to run his tongue over her lips. He's trying not to think, to just go with what feels right, because otherwise he's pretty sure he'd have no idea what he was doing. He goes to shift his position, pulling himself over her, pressing himself against her legs to try and get between them like he was told before.
He wasn't expecting to feel so desperate to be on top of someone when it was explained to him long ago, but that's the only word he can use to describe it. ]
no subject
She suddenly wonders if she should have worn a pair of underwear under her robe to offer another layer to get through, so that she wouldn't feel quite so naked in that moment. As it stands, there is a sudden feeling of vulnerability as she slowly parts her legs at his body's demand, at the way the robe falls down her thighs offering no modesty to the state of undress underneath.
That modesty is in conflict with her own desperation to have him on top of her, and her hand grips to the upper part of his left arm, which hasn't lost its strength despite missing half of it. ]
no subject
But the instinct and the desperation take back over after a moment and he finds himself aching even more than before. He goes to bury his face against her neck, breath coming slightly heavier as he grinds himself down into her hips again. It makes his cock twitch under the fabric and he lets out a heated groan. ]
no subject
Her free hand comes to his neck when he buries his face into hers, and she grips lightly into the hair that rests there. Her own moan escapes her when she feels him actually twitch behind that only piece of fabric that's separating them. She's wanted him for so long that she's torn between wanting to savor the moment and figure everything out, and begging him to just push inside of her right then and there. She holds off offering suggestions in either direction, wanting to see where he'll take things, hoping his instincts with allow him to take the lead. ]
no subject
But nothing is working and his grinding feels only seem to get more eager for something, and there's only one thing he can think of. Naked. Someone had made it very clear he would need to be naked whenever he went to make love to his bride.
Sasuke reluctantly pulls away from her just enough to sit up and tug at the waistband of his boxers. He shoves them down, using his legs to kick them off and to the side before he goes to press his body against Sakura's again. The heat is more intense now and it makes him cry out from it, but he doesn't hesitate in going back to grinding his hips into hers.
But not actually going so far as to thrust in. Really good self control? Possibly. But no one had ever really given him details to even know that it was something he should be looking to do, even if there's a desire to be closer that he can't quite figure out. ]
no subject
What did it really matter anyway, she was enjoying every second of being close to him. She liked the way he felt pushing against her own highly aroused skin. Something in her rational mind reminds her that she had certain ideas about her first time, but own instincts feel overwhelming and she parts her legs further, seeking that connection. She feels lost in the emotion of it, as her body responds on its own with small thrusts up against his erection. ]
no subject
He feels a heat curling in his stomach. He doesn't want to lose it so quickly, but it feels so good in a way he never could have prepared for. How was he supposed to make it last longer when she was so hot— so wet? ]
Sa-Sakura, I— Fuck.
[ He groans out the swear, biting into her shoulder gently, thrusting even harder against her, before he stiffens and feels himself spill against her hip. ]
no subject
If they'd kept at the pace, she knew she would have orgasmed, but he loses it first. When he bites down on her shoulder and releases against her thigh, she whines in desperation. She's okay with it, despite her hips desperately seeking out his as he starts to slow his pace.
She has to rein herself in and she lets out a shaky breath, trying to calm herself down. Even as she stills the rest of her body her hips take a moment to stop jerking. She's desperate and content all at once and it's a odd combination of emotion. ]
Sasuke-kun...
no subject
Sakura...
[ It hits him that it had all been over and done so quickly. He pulls himself up enough to look at her, forehead wrinkled, and his cheeks and nose burning a pink that is still visible in the moonlight from the window. ]
I'm sorry. I should have tried to hold off longer.
no subject
Don't apologize, I've heard it's typical for a man to orgasm quickly the first time. It's not a bad thing, I heard if you orgasm once it'll make sex last longer. Don't worry, we'll get it back up again.
[ Her fingers stroked his cheek before moving to brush over his lips. ]
no subject
Last... longer...?
[ It's spoken with a somewhat clear undertone: hadn't sex been what he'd just ruined? ]
no subject
Yeah, men can hold the orgasm in longer. I mean... [ Her cheeks deepen. ] I've heard that, I guess I don't really know. But I do know that releasing before sex helps to prolong the actual...you know...inter..
[ She ducks her head to the side, suddenly acutely aware of her naked position underneath him and the fact that he had released on her thigh. ]
...intercourse part.
no subject
Didn't... we just...?
[ He suddenly finds himself too embarrassed to finish. He hadn't been up front about how little he knew, because he had thought he'd known plenty. Apparently he was wrong. ]
no subject
She takes a breath as the realization settles and she offers him a warm smile. As embarrassing as it is, she figures she might be the one to have to walk them through this. ]
That's just...uhm...foreplay. It's a little more...but...uhm, you have to get inside my body for it to be sex.
no subject
[ Sasuke's not quite sure how that happens or what it fully means, but the sound of it makes that heat in his belly grow again. He swallows, staring at her, like he's trying to work out the puzzle on his own, which is probably the worst possible idea considering the mystery at hand involves fairly sensitive parts of the body. ]
I don't... I thought that... [ He feels the blush in his cheeks burn deeper, looking away from her. ] There's a way... between your legs?
no subject
Uhm. Here, just...
[ She can't look him in the eyes as she tries to direct his fingers between her legs. ]
If you just do...well, that...and push...
[ Her words catch, both from embarrassment and from how good it feels to be touched. ]
That area there...you can probably find how to...you know, get inside...
no subject
His fingers continue to move between her legs, exploring her carefully for any hint of a way inside. It doesn't take him long to find it, his fingers pushing against her entrance and feeling the way her body almost naturally sucks against them. He gasps, then groans, biting down on his lip. ]
... M-May I...?
[ A stupid thing to ask given the situation probably but he's apparently only going to care about being polite in the middle of fucking. ]
