went with the more metaphorical approach that is Alma’s curse, a cage she can never fully get out of no matter how hard she tries, the price for being Salazar’s favorite daughter
Whumptober 2020 No. 1 and 2: Waking Up Restrained & Kidnapped
Jesse’s worst nights are when it rains. Summer wanes towards Autumn and the rain and wind comes, chilling him to the bone. It means needing to find actual shelter and not just a park bench or under a tree. Actual shelter means proximity to others like him, who he tries to avoid. They stole the contents of his backpack and bloodied his nose the last time he was forced to share a space with them. But he gave as good as he got. His knuckles were sore for a while after that.
It’s too cold to bathe in a pond or hike around and find a stream. It wasn’t much for cleanliness, more like the imitation of it, but the cooler months meant more time damp and freezing, the constant numb feeling. All clothes possible layered under the red hoodie he had had with him forever, from before this started.
Foster homes hadn’t worked. The ones he hadn’t ditched and left on his own accord, wanted him reassigned to a different place. So eventually, leaving them all seemed like the best option. He takes care of himself. It isn’t easy. But it works.
Until the disappearances started happening. He tries to stay away from the assortment of other runaways, dealers, and whoever else haunts the alleys and corners at night. But news always travels. And people have been going missing off the street. Andy Reed said he saw an unmarked van take someone away, but Andy isn’t exactly known for his honesty. More like his wild imagination and inability to tell the truth about anything.

Whumptober 2020, Day II: In The Hands Of The Enemy
Content Warnings: hunger, past conditioned character falling into conditioned thought patterns/behaviors, getting arrested, put in a jail/cell, manhandling
Iesin/Talvos Taglist: if you want to be added or removed, or to not be tagged during whumptober, please let me know! 💜 @bloodandbandages @endless-whump @burtlederp
It was stupid, so stupid. They needed the food; game is scarce in this duchy of dense, small farms, and the people wary and watchful. It was stupid of him to think he could get away with apples and bread and chicken; he should have just taken the chicken, so that at least Iesin could have eaten something.
All of this flashes through Talvos’ mind in the time it takes for a guard’s hand to close around his arm, for his first tug to free himself to fail, and for the second guard to draw their sword. His hand closes on the hilt of his knife, and then the guard’s sword tips his chin up, and Talvos’ hand relaxes, slipping loose and open against his side.
“Thieving, were you?”
It’s a useless question; they’ve already pulled the apples and bread out of his bag, and as another pair of hands reaches in, the crinkle of butcher’s paper meets Talvos’ ears and the guard lets out a pleased exclamation.

Alternate Prompts List
Greetings again!
After much deliberation and feedback from the community, we have decided to add an alternate list of prompts to the event again this year. These alternates can be substituted for any theme/prompt that you’d like. You do not have to use them in any order. The only change you would make is to add an ‘alt. #’ tag to your post when you use them. Hopefully this will help anyone struggling with a theme and all of its extra prompts.
