Beware the Dog

-Wolf

Nightmare gang as some kind of Dead by Daylight killers~ A group of kids decide to explore [insert abandoned place] not knowing there are 4 killers roaming the place. You'd have: Horror as 'The Butcher' He'd have the heavy duty bone hatchet and a burlap sack in which he stuffs his victims. He's the biggest and brawniest of the 4 mostly inspired by the Texas chain guy, Micheal Myers and Jason. He patrols the trails in the woods and uses an abandoned barn as the spot to kill and butcher his victims. (There's a possible romance route, he's the softest out of the 4. Romance route can be triggered by leaving him treats and flowers) Dust as 'The Wraith' He's a predominantly magic user, using illusions and hallucinations to disorient his prey before the kill. Often mistaken for female due to his choice of outfit... Yes, he did do it on purpose. He uses it to appear harmless... He's anything but... Dust doesn't move as much as the others, preferring to stick around the Carnival Grounds. Sometimes he pretends to be the Fortune Teller to ambush curious kids. (Has a possible romance route but is extremely distrustful so second to last hardest to trigger. Charms and incense are his jam.) Killer as 'The Redcap' He's got his knives and agility being the smallest of the group. He'd be the most chatty and flirtatious stalking his prey. He doesn't outright try to kill trespassers cause he enjoys toying with them a little first. He shows himself so that they know who is hunting them. He'll stalk them after, sometimes letting his prey glimpse him, sometimes only chattering or laughing. (Also has a romance route, easiest to trigger with aggressive flirting. He's more unpredictable than Dust, if he gets bored you'll get stabbed. He likes puzzles and trinkets) Nightmare as 'The Nightmare' (obviously) Nightmare would be the end boss, roaming the full area and once tuned in on the trespassers fear he's like a heat-seeking missile. Using his tentacles to swiftly cover ground and area of effect attacks. He can shape shift into people's biggest fear for maximum terror. He will chase trespassers around the grounds until they either fucked off or got caught. (He has NO ROMANCE route, but for the masochists there's a possibility he'll grant you his spawn... They'll be your responsibility tho~ ;) The only offering he'll accept is the corpse of another trespasser killed by the unhinged person who dares court him)

All Bitties have some feral instincts. Like Honey will hide to disappear when frightened enough. (think places like under floorboards, cracks and in walls) Sunny is the most grouchy so he'll probably be the one to mostly growl and snarl. (He likes his space) Soul will give in to his feral instincts the most which will end in injuries if not stopped. At least Soul will give a warning because Scruffy won't. Scruffy will bite. He'll also cling to depressed people and not let go since he feeds of their despair. Dusk's tentacles will sharpen when he's threatened. He has no control over that so don't startle him too much because the tentacles will lash and leave cuts. Dawn, Mallow, Bunbun and Giggles have a mothering instinct that can be triggered when ever they find someone/something in needs of help. Cherry is probably the one who'll hiss and growl when threatened and bite when people don't back-up. Star will hiss as a warning and strike when it's not heeded. Sunny: Do not touch unless he trusts you. He won't mind having his horns rubbed then. It's a trust thing. Star and Cherry: absolute sluts about getting horn rubs. Be prepared to rub for a long time cause you're not stopping until they say so. Scruffy: Eh... He's find with it... Soul: DO. NOT. TOUCH. (it's a lover privilege) Soul loves hunting trips. He'll do the cat thing and bring dead prey to you. Or you might find them in shoes, fruitbowl, cubboard, bed... Usually your most frequented places so he knows you'll find it. No one knows if he does it because he likes you and wants to share or if he hates you and just wants to see your reaction... Dawn hates anything gritty and salts. There is also the stuff with harsh chemicals. All of it will make the burns on his bones hurt even more. That's why he gravitates to creams, herbs and foams. (though he'll joke being soup when taking a herbal bath.) Scrubs can also open the burns again which makes the chance of infection greater. So it's not just the pain, also the risk of infection and so illness...

Hello welcome back~ Tickle fights really depend on the mood of the bitties. Mallow, Cherry, Giggles, Dawn and Bunbun don't mind them but that's different for Honey. They'll panic if they can't tell you to stop due to the lack of breath and only being able to giggle. So when engaged in a tickle fight with Honey one needs to pay close attention to their expressions. Stop when they show any discomfort or risk having them flinch every time you reach out to them. (They might even flee and hide) Sunny thinks tickle fights are embarrassing. Star and Dusk don't really care for it but some times use it to get another to distract them from unpleasant thoughts. (not really a tickle fight since they don't engage longer than a few minutes) Scruffy and Soul don't do tickles. They're not ticklish and Soul will most likely bite because fingers~ Simple play fighting is more in line with Sunny, Scruffy, Cherry, Star, Dusk and Soul. They'll use it to keep their abilities sharp. (Though Scruffy can be really lazy in that regard...) Mallow, Bunbun, Giggles and Dawn aren't really fond of play fighting, prefering more relaxing hobbies. But that doesn't mean they don't engage once in a while. It really depends on their mood or if someone annoyed them enough to engage. Only Honey is against play fighting due to their fragile state. Most who try to play fight with a Honey get tackled by another bitty :'D

Cherry and Scruffy get along fine, just peachy. Together they're double trouble though so need 24/7 supervision... Or there will be something destroyed.

There are some synthetic fabrics that'll feel gross to them. Mostly the clingy, staticy stuff. Though they also dislike microfiber towels... Star is a little flirt so he'll do well in both settings. It wouldn't be surprising if he'd try and set up him own harem though -w- He's the lover type after all~ They do! Most of them like boba for the pops. (each favoring a different flavor) A big favorite is matcha tea and spiced chai lattes. But for the love of God... DON'T. GIVE. THEM. COFFEE. ............... Unless you want them to have 3 sleepless nights or a coma...

No they wouldn't. Sunny likes his ducks and the others really like diving for coins and trinkets. Soul tends to 'drown' his toys tho... Floats are preferred for deeper waters. Absolutely~ Dawn and bath salt doesn't go well due to injuries but they love the fizz of bath bombs~ Soul has the least interest in salts and bath bombs. (he likes bubbles though) The biggest splashers would be Cherry and Giggles. Cherry because he's a bonafide water rat and Giggles because they like to play in the water. Scruffy will most likely try to tip the bath but that doesn't count :'D

It did, I read it then forgot to answer because life :'D Soul would jump in anything mud/clay/milk related. Milk and edible pebbles? He'd be joking about being a real cereal killer now and probably drain the bowl. The other bitties do enjoy the occasional spa day. Dawns really like milk and honey baths because it soothes their aching bones and help them stay smooth. (another alternative is aloe vera baths) Mallow, Bunbun, Star, Giggles and Honey also like to be pampered with milk baths (they like the smell) The only Bitty to refuse any food/drink related baths would be Sunny. He finds it wasteful. Most common would be milk and honey but then there's Scruffy... Scruffy would dunk himself into condiments, soup, gravy, vinegar and other liquid food just to see what he can get away with... Not to mention the stains he'll make rolling out of said 'bath' to run around the house...

Sorry this one slipped my mind >_< Soul would absolutely treat it as a mud path and probably track that mud all over the place given a chance. You could get nightmare essence from an awake Nightmare but it would be a struggle since they won't give it willingly and most definitely will try to kill or devour you... Emergency supply should be kept in bags close to Dawn bitties. In really, really rare cases will a Dusk like their Nightmare. More often than not the Nightmare will torment them so they're not fond of their 'symbiote'. It's why Dusks often keep a tight control on their Nightmare.

'... What is this?' Reader asked looking at the bound figures kneeling on the ground. The heavy chains, collars and rags didn't hide their status. 'The skeleton crew you wanted.' The servant answered, a small malicious smirk on their lips. Reader sighed pinching the bridge of their nose. 'What about 'willingly' did you NOT understand?' They questioned with a soft growl. The servant casually shrugged their shoulders. 'You asked for a skeleton crew, ma'am.' They stated. 'So his Majesty has provided you with one. Are you saying his Majesty made a mistake?' They asked with a grin a little bit too wide. Reader shot them a glare. 'Get out.' They responded. The servant chuckled and bowed leaving the room. Reader glared at the door before letting out another loud sigh. They looked at the 5 skeletons kneeling on the ground. 4 of them glared fiercely at Reader while the softest looked at the ground. 'Alright, you have 2 choices.' They spoke looking at the skeletons. 'Either you'll help me willingly or you go back to the market.' They walked over to the table, shuffling through papers to find a blank piece. 'I'll provide you with 3 meals a day, a room and clothing. I won't cause you harm less it be self-defense, actions will have consequences... In addition you'll get a day off a week... Just not all at once.' Reader scribbled their terms on the blank piece while talking. The skeletons looked at the human in confusion and distrust before looking at each other. The offer was tempting... But too good to be true... On the other hand going back to the market would almost certainly mean being split up... 'I-I'll help...' The smallest skeleton of the bunch spoke up softly. He finally looked up at Reader. His lights held fear and uncertainly. The human gave him a soft smile. 'Good, what's your name and what skills do you have?' They asked. A look of surprise crossed his face. 'I-I'm Blue and I'm a guard...' He answered. Reader nodded scribbling it down on the paper. They showed it to the little skeleton, holding out a pen. 'Sign it when you're ready.' They stated, waiting while Blue read the contract. When he was done he took the pen and signed while the others watched. As soon as Blue signed Reader removed the heavy chains. He looked at them in surprise. 'You'll be on probation for a week. Besides working with chains on is going to be a hassle.' Reader explained. One of the taller skeletons sighed. 'If he's staying so am I.' He spoke. Reader smiled, asking him the same questions. In the end the other skeletons signed the contract as well. Reader made good on their word, giving the skeletons a room with beds, their own chest with proper clothing and a small desk. The meals were simple but filling and tasty. While Stretch and Dust helped the human with their research on stopping the diseases plaguing the common folk Fell, Cross and Blue took on shifts of guarding the lab so no one could temper with the work done. With the help of the skeletons Reader could start righting the wrongs committed by the villains of the kingdom. After all, they were a summoned hero as well...
