The FAMILY Meme



How does it work?
Simple! Choose a relationship (or roll for one, if it suits your fancy), and then RNG for a situation! That, or just go straight for whatever situation appeals to you. These are all fairly vague: just something to start you off!
 
Parent-Child

1. Rock-a-Bye How do you get a fussy child to sleep? Read them a story, sing them a lullaby, or just let them stay up until they exhaust themselves? Whatever the choice, it is time for bed.

2. For The First Time You've never met this person in your life, but it turns out they're one of the two reasons you exist. Maybe they walked out when you were young. Maybe they never knew you were born. Whatever the reason, it is now time to meet them.

3. Past Midnight That curfew was set for a reason. Now it's two AM, and your kid is just now dragging in. Maybe they're drunk. Or got into a fight. Or just had way too much fun snogging their new love interest. It's time for them to face the music.

4. New Home It's the first day of your new life together, as parent and child. Whether it's through adoption, a basket on the front steps, or a wish come true, both of you are going to have to learn to take your steps together.

5. Holiday It could be Christmas, Easter, or just a birthday, but it is time to celebrate! Get together for some good old-fashioned family fun.

6.Take To Work Day What your parents do for a living is the quickest thing that can turn a kid from boring to the coolest on the block. So whatever the job, from accountant to zookeeper, go to work!

7. You're Not My Real Dad Being a step-parent (or step-child, for that matter) can be tough. Problem is, you're stuck with each other. So whether you're yelling or just having an awkward conversation, it is time to work things out.

8. Unexpected Guardian So you're not the parenting type. Too bad. Situation calls for someone to step up to the plate and look out for this kid, and you're the only one near base. Have fun with that.



Siblings

1. Protective Big Sibling Okay, look. No one gets to mess with your sibling but you. Your little brother or sister is in trouble; let them know you're going to be the one to take care of it.

2. Ruining The Night So your sibling has a hot date. You know what that calls for? Making their lives a living hell.

3. Newcomer Who is this new kid in your house? Your family has adopted, and now you have to call this stranger family. Welcome them into the house, or let them know how much they aren't wanted.

4. Blood Brothers So maybe you aren't really related to this person. That doesn't matter. You're going to change that, right now. In this moment, you will become family. Nothing can break this bond.

5. Middle of the Night It's the middle of the night. Your car is broken down, or you're drunk, or you need bailed out, or you just got beat up, or someone just broke up with you. Whatever just happened, it's time to call your sibling and hope they can bail you out.

6. Sibling Rivalry Nobody understands what jerks siblings can be! Always in your stuff, messing up your relationships, getting in your way -- it's time for an all out brawl, whether that means yelling, pranking, or fists flying.

7. Long-Lost Maybe you've heard of this person. Or maybe they are entirely new to you. However, you've gotten the information that you're more than strangers: you're family. Welcome to each other's lives.

8. All Alone Once your family was whole. Or maybe it never truly was. Whatever the case, the world is a big, dangerous place, and you've only got one person left to rely on: your sibling.


Uncle/Aunt-Niece/Nephew

1. Sent Away There's something bad going on at home, and you've been sent away to "safety." Problem is, how safe is this relative really? Are they the kooky, cool kind of Aunt, or are they a crazed Uncle after your fortune? Time to find out.

2. Taking You In Something's happened to your niece/nephew's parents, and it's time to step up and do your family duty. They've got nowhere else to go, after all.

3. The One We Don't Talk About So maybe the family is a little bit...ashamed of you. You're a bit mad, or you've done something they just don't like. Yet you want to be part of your niece/nephew's life, and whatever their parents say, you'll find a way.

4. Grand Adventure Maybe you came out of nowhere, or maybe you've just been keeping secrets. But you aren't an ordinary aunt/uncle, and it's time to take your niece or nephew on a very wild ride.

5. Like A Parent To Me Sure, you have parents, but this person is who your parents should be like -- or maybe who you feel should be your parent in the first place. Let them know how you feel about them.

6. Don't Tell Mom Aunts and Uncles have special qualities. Like, sometimes, being a bit more lenient than Mom and Dad might be. So you have a, er, sensitive problem? It's time to run to them.


In A Relationship

1. New Baby On The Way The panicking is already over, but there are still preparations to be made. Maybe you need to set up the nursery, or you've got the best idea for your soon-to-be child's name.

2. Romeo & Juliet You love this person. Perhaps more than life itself. But it is time to break the bad news: your family will never approve.

3. I Think I Might Be Pregnant Somehow, you are pregnant. And you think you know who the father is...time to break the news.

4. While You Were Away You've been gone years, only to come back and find your beloved has a child...with your eyes. 


Other
Of course, you are free to make up your own scenario, or do a relationship not done here! "

Sakura Matou | Fate/disaster

[ An alchemist isn't really the same thing as a doctor, but Plachta likes to think it comes from the same place of intent. That desire to help people, to see them healthy and smiling and do something to ease their ills even if you can't fully cure it. So that's why, in the absence of a real doctor, she seems to have taken it upon herself to be keeping an eye on a certain Matou Sakura.

It's a bit nervewracking, of course, though it's not like Plachta would ever let that show. Sakura's scared enough as it is and the last thing she needs is for the women who's supposed to be helping her letting on that she's just as shaky too. But Plachta's an alchemist. She's a researcher. If there's something she doesn't understand, she'll plug away at it until she does, no matter how long it takes.

So she's confident that when the time comes, she'll be ready to do whatever Sakura needs her to do. ... Reasonably confident, anyway.

In the meantime, Plachta sticks to her usual routine of checking on Sakura as often as needs be – usually once a day, even if she only stops by for five minutes or so. It's less about health and more about providing a comforting presence – but apparently, today, she's got health on the mind if that basket of what looks like alchemized goods on her arm while she settles in for her usual visit. ]


Miss Matou. [ polite as usual. ] How are the both of you feeling today?

[ Honestly, all the little things help. The feeling of knowing someone's got her back despite Shirou's, uh, notable absence thanks to jamjar mechanics is extremely comforting. She spent a lot of the first few months more wrecked than she'd ever felt before, futilely hoping to find a way to get her dumb boyfriend back from the void, but alas, the powers that be are not so easily moved. Now, she's trying her best not to stress out too much, because apparently that's bad for babies, too.

She is still absolutely stressing out, though. There's a slim hope Shirou will be back one day, and she's holding onto that. (Honestly, she'd be nervous even if he was here, because no one should trust Shirou with a child, Jesus Christ.)]


Ah, good afternoon, we're fine. [ We. It still feels strange saying that. ] What have you got there...?

That's good to hear.

[ Her voice is placid, as usual, but not without warmth and she gives Sakura a little smile as she pats the bottom of the basket with her free hand. ]

I prepared some elixirs for you with some of my spare materials. It might not be as much of a problem now, but as things progress, you may find yourself having issues with your appetite, getting a restful sleep and general fatigue.

I can't exactly cure those for you, but I can help to counteract them a little.
