[Day 237] Relationship Issues Group Therapy mingle
[The relationships group therapy attendees will all get a message telling them to report to The Winery in Sector 2. Sadly for them the alcohol is locked away, but there is an assortment of food and non-alcoholic beverages along the bar for consumption. Many of the tables have been cleared out and the chairs rearranged into a circle with booths along the edges for more intimate therapeutic discussions.

And don't forget the party favors! The wardens have left some helpful games and activity ideas to get them started. There's a bowl full of folded slips of papers with various questions.]


How many people have you slept with? Do you regret any of them? Why?

How many relationships have you been in? Why do you think that is?

What was your longest relationship? Most serious? Shortest? Most casual?

Why did your last relationship end?

What do you look for in another person?

Are you happy?

Who is your ideal mate?

What was the biggest problem/complication in your previous or current relationship?

What do you need out of a relationship? Sexual experience?

How long have you been single between relationships? Why do you think it was so long/short?

What is the best way to break up with someone?

Do you believe in soul mates? Do you think you have or will meet yours?

Would you rather spend your life with one important person or several acquaintances? Why?

Are there any similarities between the people you've been with? If so, what are they?

Do you have trouble making choices? Give examples.

Do you think with your heart, your head, or your genitalia? Are you satisfied with this behavior?

Do you have trouble relating to people? If so, in what way?


[In addition to the questions there are cards with various prompts. One explains the game, I Never. Another suggests people pair off and roleplay they are in a relationship and then deal with various scenarios like what do to if one partner flirts with someone else or comes home late without calling.]


Who should do the dishes?

When is it appropriate to discuss getting blue bands/having sex?

When should you move in together if ever?

What do you do if you suspect the other is keeping secrets?

What do you say if your partner comes home with a haircut you don't like?

How do you respond if you find your partner crying?

How do you decide how to spend your time together?

Your partner's family doesn't like you. What do you do?

One of you is critically hurt. How does the other respond?

Your friends don't like the person you're with. What do you say to them? What do you say to your partner?

One of you wants sexual relations and the other does not. How do you balance your needs?

How do you communicate your desire for a particular sexual desire to your partner?

It is your partner's birthday. How do you prepare?

At a party your partner leaves you to socialize with others. How does this make you feel and how do you respond?

How do you show your affection?


(OOC: Mingle style. You are not limited to the questions, scenarios, or games listed above. Assume there are more! I recycled a lot of this from last time so if someone was in this group twice they can feel free to notice, but assume there are lots of questions and prompts, so they probably didn't see them all.)

[ Of course he was in this group, before taking a seat, he takes a card and silently reads it to himself. He didn't know how to answer this, so he was curious to see what someone else would say. ]
What do you need out of a relationship? Sexual experience?

Relationship wise, just peace. [ Yep, that's his answer. ]

[ He was right, really the only way he could find himself completely in control is if everything in his love life was content, at peace. Guess that's the burden of carrying the curse. ]

You got that right. If there isn't any peace, then I have a hard time with my temper. I don't like that side of me.

[ well, this is awkward because as soon as she sits down, she hears his voice and her eyes meet with his--]

I don't know anymore. [ she's going to answer that honestly because she thought she knew, but things have gotten so messed up, so complicated. and her feelings, they suck.]

[ It had been awhile since Tyler saw Caroline, with everything that happened, he didn't expect to come face to face with her so soon when the wound was still open. He huffed before shaking his head, a hand coming up to rub his eyes. Already, he knew how this was going to end. ]

Doesn't surprise me.

[ swallowing, he breaks eye contact with her. It was obvious that he missed her, but he was too angry about it all to be civil. ]

[ Caroline wanted to give him space, honestly, but the stupid group therapy thing kind of made it impossible to do so. She expects the bitterness, the anger, she knows that he probably hates her but she kinda hates herself too.]

You weren't the problem, Tyler. You never were. [ Because she still loves him, she doesn't want him to think that any of this is his fault, for him to slip back to who he used to be.]

I'm the one that messed up. I'm the one that... changed.

[ Tyler didn't want to think about it, much less talk about it, but here he was with his palms beginning to sweat. He was in a different place now than before, a lot has happened since and honestly, he felt that she shouldn't blame herself. ]

Look, I wasn't here for you. You moved on.

[ He bites his lip. ]

The last I remember was being with you and now everything is different. Everyone from home has changed, even you. I don't know how to do this when everything I liked about myself was you.

[ A sad smile curves his mouth and he sits back on his chair, making sure no one else heard what he said to her. ]

Don't blame yourself for it.

But it's not your fault you weren't here. It's not my fault I'm here.

[ But it is her fault that she slept with Stefan. Her gaze lowers as he says what hurts most, that he only likes himself because of what she brings to him.]

Tyler, you're amazing and strong. You've changed, you've turned into a better man and that's not because of me, that's because of you. You are still the guy I fell in love with, you still deserve to be happy. This place changes people, you're right, it changed all of us. And what happened, it's got nothing to do with anything you did.

I know I've changed.

[ Finally, he glances up, searching for her eyes. More than anything, he wanted to let go of the anger that weighed him down. His smile fades and his chin lifts slightly. ]

You deserve to be happy too.

[ Even if that came out bitter, he meant it. ]

[Jess hasn't been eating refreshments, mostly because her type of vampires don't do well with human food.

And besides, she figures this might help. Lord knows her last two relationships ended as disasters. Hoyt didn't even want to remember her anymore.

At the question she nods a little.]

That's a start, at least.

'Course not. You need trust, and there's a different between just sex and actual intimacy.

Yep. For actual intimacy there's gotta be a stronger connection.

Eh... well I don't think that's ever been my first thought. [In fact, despite what the wardens said the other day, she hasn't actually ever had sex.]

But as a vampire, blood sharing can be important I think... and incredibly intimate.

ER--! [Flustered!!] I... I mean, just... yeah. Ahaha....anyway, that didn't have anything to do with the question, huh! Um...nope! Never had sex, so I don't really know!

[ His brow lifted, listening closely to her. He was actually curious of what it was like. He did get the euphoria when it came to feeding from someone, but never had the chance to do it intimately with someone he genuinely cared for. Not that he'd be able to do it anyway since his love life was a train wreck as of right now. ]

Really?

[ He smiled at her when she stopped, her cheeks turning into a sweet rose color and then the sudden outburst that made him chuckle. ]

Sounds to me like it's better than sex anyway. I don't think you're missing much when it comes to sex if you have that type of intimacy just sharing blood.

[She's never really spoken about it so openly before. Vampirism isn't usually her ice breaker. She flushes a bit more, but is grateful. He isn't making a big deal about it. Or teasing her like-- well, like a certain other vampire would.]

It...can be intoxicating in it's own way. [Admittedly, and a little easier said.] In a relationship, I mainly just want to feel needed. I'd like to be there for the individual as much as they will be there for me. Because that's love, isn't it? Being able to emotionally and physically be there for one another.

[If you're needed, the person wont disappear]
