Originally, my boys, as part of their backstory (which I won’t reveal here) came with a set of certain rules and requirements. Those rules only allowed Desmond to surface under just the right... conditions. Along with that, Thaddeus was often completely clueless as to what happened when the swap occured and he regained control.
However, I was going to have it as a part of their progression throughout RP that the “rules” they were forced to live by steadily loosen and some boundaries disappear.
Time on the Manta changes everyone in mysterious ways after all...
SO! I’m making a shortcut since it will make things more interesting, (especially since most everyone who shows up to RP is so nice, non-threatening and accommodating that it makes it hard to get Desmond to show up to play ball!) The “rule” governing when the swap happens has been erased (points if you already knew what it was or have now gathered what it was through this post,) so expect Desmond to be dangerous and, as always, a COMPLETE ASSHOLE and pop up more often. Also, Thaddeus will, unfortunately for him, now be able to have a ringside seat to all of his Other’s extreme douchebaggery.
How will you handle this two-for-one smoky special?
Looking forward to more volatile and unpredictable future RPs!
Don’t be afraid to drop them an ask! Or... do be afraid I suppose. Desmond usually has enough bite to back up all that barking.
Thanks all and I hope you’re doing well!
