(be advised both the basement prompts will come with pretty heavy warnings for child abuse)
Knife Fight at the Grab-N-Go: Vance is playing pinball at the local convenience store when another teen bumps the machine and makes him lose. A teenage knife fight ensues. You can interfere before or after the knife fight and it might not happen at all depending on what your character does! If it's after the knife fight you can also help him run from the cops.
This version of Vance is what he himself considers to be The Cool Vance untouched by trauma. He does in fact still have trauma no matter how much he denies it, and a lot of what he considers cool is just being a jerk but getting away with it because all of his opponents are other teenagers and he's the toughest teenager in town. My goal with this one is to hopefully get him to re-think the way he views his past self and see how much he's grown here, so he will almost definitely be a total asshole in this prompt (even if he likes you, he'll give off that impression of being a total asshole to most people).
Basement Horror (No Grabber Edition): Vance is trapped alone (or so he thinks) in a dark basement with nothing but an old mattress, a rotary phone on the wall, and a toilet down the single short hallway. The only window is very high up and covered with a grate, and the door is heavy and locked from the outside. He is scared out of his mind and very vulnerable and has already been injured a bit.
Anyone who can see ghosts will notice that there are two ghosts in the basement with him, Billy and Griffin. They're both small, shy kids and Vance can't see them. They'll be in the other basement prompt, too.
Basement Horror (Grabber Edition): Vance is still trapped in the basement but has decided he's had enough and has begun bashing through the wall in an attempt to escape. Unfortunately, the hole he makes hits a large freezer on the other side and The Grabber comes down to stop him before he can get around it.
This is the all-purposes "beat the shit out of The Grabber" prompt because he's a creep! Probably a limit of 3 or so threads for this one because it'll be the most intense of the prompts but hey if you want to come and save Vance from getting murdered now's your chance. The Grabber is just a regular adult human with no powers so most characters will stand a good chance. If you want him to kill your character that can be discussed too.
