Last night, on Monsterhearts.
Rowan’s (selkie) bad luck continues, as he’s acquired a charm somehow that keeps inflicting horrible things on him. He gets bitten by a rabid dog in the parkinglot. Cassidy (werewolf) walks him to the nurse’s office, where he gets healed, and the two of them bump into Jackson (chosen) and Victoria (queen) on the way out. Rowan and Cassidy are still pissed at Jackson for stabbing everyone last session, so treat him pretty poorly. Jackson gets some healin for his condition “snake bites all over my body” also from last session.
As they’re leaving, Rowan and Cassidy are talking about spending some time together. Since they slept together last session, Cassidy has been pretty possessive of Rowan. She suggests they hang out tonight, and Rowan suggests his beach house. Victoria overhears them, and says “Oh, there’s a beach party tonight?” Victorian and Cassidy have a bitchy staredown, Cassidy accuses her of being a fake punk rock band because she doesn’t know any of the punk kids, but when Victoria says she’ll bring weed Rowan ends up inviting everyone over. It’s not even Rowan’s house, he’s just squatting there.
Before the party Jackson and Victoria have a scene where Victoria offers the weed to Jackson, telling him to give it to Cassidy to get back on her good side. They’re both getting dressed in swimwear, but Jackson is still smooth like a ken doll since the mermaid stole his junk! He backs his trunks hastily with toilet paper, hoping no one will notice.
At the beach party before everyone arrives Rowan and Cassidy have an intimate chat. She finds out Rowan has slept with most of the group, and it’s all been guy on guy. “So, all the guys I’ve slept with recently are gay?” Cass asks, and Rowan says “I dunno, does that count?” It ends with Cassidy asking “So, like, are we dating now?” but everyone arrives and the question is left unanswered. Victoria brings her “punk band” called Twatrocket to hang out with everyone. Jackson delivers Cassidy the weed, and they exchange intimacies to gain strings on each other (a homebrew move). Meanwhile, Victoria and Rowan and the band are going skinny dipping, but its mostly awkward. Victoria hits on Jackson, but then promptly turns him down “Get in the van, take off your pants, get out of the van!” While Rowan is skinny dipping, Cassidy steals Rowan’s pelt and hides it in the trunk of Victoria’s car. Rowan turns Cage on while he’s further down the beach with Jade (npc chosen). Jackson gets stoned with Cassidy because he can’t hook up with Victoria, and Cassidy just gets more and more angsty about Rowan. The three of them pass out in the beach house.
Cage heads back to his house, into his basement, and begins to labor over a table with his empty sister on it. His father’s tools and pocketwatch lie there, useless and silent.
In the morning they’re confronted by the real owners of the house. There’s a brief conflict and Jackson stands in the way of Cassidy’s lash out, taking two harm. They all head to school late. On the way, Graham (npc werewolf in Cassidy’s pack) drives by on a motorcycle and says they need to talk. Rowan hates this dude, and tries to shut him down. Fails horribly, he just laughs at Rowan, and Cassidy takes the ride to school. Victoria catches up with Rowan and Jackson, and offers Rowan to come over to her place and hang out, cause if Cassidy’s hanging out with other people, why can’t he? They skip school.
Graham tells Cassidy the Order is in town, so she needs to lay low. Asks why they never hung out, offers to take her on a date, they get to school and Cassidy turns him on (she wants him wrapped around her finger, but in order to do it she has to best him in physical combat, which they make a “date” for later). Cassidy runs into Cage and Jackson in the school parkinglot, all arriving late. Jackson stops them both, forcing the three of them to actually talk. Cassidy confronts Cage, telling him to stay away from her and Rowan. Things escalate, he calls her on her shit, she lashes out, he takes two harm. They go to school.
Victoria all day has been plying Rowan with drinks and smokes for no other discernible reason than to shake things up or assert her scheming dominance over the group. Her band invites everyone over to her house for a garage party. We all go (PCs) and Cassidy walks in to see Rowan draped over Victoria. Cassidy sits, stewing, gets into a convo with Rowan about where they’re at in their relationship, and due to a failed turn on roll both Cassidy and Rowan jump to the wrong conclusions: Rowan thinks they’re open to sleep with anyone, Cassidy thinks they’re exclusive. Cage and one of the band members start flirting on Cassidy and Rowan’s couch, Cassidy pulls Cage aside to tell him to stay away from them one more time. Brings up they’re really awkward forest sex last session, then goes on to accuse him of having sex with Rowan and Gail. She tries to call him out on his shit, but fails, so the move reverses on her. Victoria grins at the havok she’s caused. Cage runs away, and Cassidy’s phone rings, and it’s Graham (npc werewolf from her pack) sounding dead or dying and he says “You have to get out of here,” and Jade comes on the line saying “You’re next bitch.” The PCs can’t see this, but the camera pans away and Jackson is standing beside Jade.
