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! "

[ It's probably not a surprise that Yuuri looks, shall we say, less put together than usual. Her hair's a mess and there's bags enough under her eyes to carry a whole month's worth of groceries. She's only had a few hours rest with all the comings and goings and all she wants to do is go to sleep for a week straight.

Despite that, though, the smile she gives Arianna looks warm enough even if it's rather understandably lacking some of its usual brightness. ]


Good morning... so it is still morning. I'd totally lost track.

[ She giggles and then turns her attention briefly down to the little bundle she's still holding in her arms. ]

Are you ready to say hello?

It is just after eleven. [I RNGed it and everything.] You must be exhausted.

[She certainly looks exhausted, though Arianna politely doesn't comment on that. Instead she quietly approaches, leaning in to get a better look.]

Hello.

Get a little closer -- here, sit on the bed, if you like. Then you can get a proper look at her.

[ she's not completely sure that's allowed but who the hell is going to tell them no?

She's cradling the baby carefully against her but she manages to inch a little ways in Arianna's direction though not without some obvious wincing. ]

[Arianna sits next to her, a little awkwardly since the bed's only meant for one occupant so she's sort of on the edge, and looks, look at this tiny person, she's rii-san's daughter, and her niece, a little baby who's a new part of their family aaaaah]

Did you two decide on her name?

Well... tell me if it sounds silly, but I've been thinking of "Haruka".

[ The similarity to Ruu's given name is what makes her hesitate – the last thing she'd ever want is to make Ruu feel like she's being replaced – but once the idea had popped into her head, she'd found herself quite unable to put it completely out of mind. ]

There's a few ways you can write it, but I was thinking I'd use the character for "distance", just like me and Ruu-chan have in our names.

[ And their mother – but that isn't something Yuuri wants to say right now, during such a happy moment. ]

What an adorable name!

[The tone is familiar, but Arianna's making a pretty deliberate effort to not be as loud as usual. No scaring the baby.]

I don't think it's silly at all. It seems perfect to me.

You're biased.

[ But she says it with a smile and some audible relief. She'd said it in an off-hand sort of way, but the more she thinks about it, the more it seems right. ]

But I really wanted something that would sound... right for her. It was harder than I thought – I mean, I had to work with "Tenmyouji", so that's not much of a surprise.

[ It's not the most unwieldy of surnames. ]
