[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.)

That I stopped the world from complete destruction. That the first time I met him, he died to save my life. That I don't actually work for a hospital but instead work for a top secret government organization that defends the world against alien attack.

He thinks I don't love him. That I was cheating on him.

[ elena should be surprised, could be, but then again it's been awhile since she heard anything she wouldn't believe, at home or here. mostly, her expression is overwhelmed, because what martha's saying is overwhelming. world-saving, probably some time hi-jinx, top secret government organizations and aliens.

and there's sympathy too.

after a moment of processing it all, elena reaches to fold martha's hand in hers. she's thinking about love's complexities, how it can complicate things in so many different ways.
] I'm not with the person I love because... I'm bound to him in a way that... affects my decisions. [ she explains slowly, and not only for martha. for herself, because she's saying it for the first time. trying to put her understanding of it in words.

she swallows; sorrow weighs down her words.
] The truth is... I wouldn't feel this way if I didn't love him. This happened because I love him and now everything that feels so real just seems... [ she shakes her head. ] It's not. [ she doesn't believe that. but it's what she's been told. ]

[Martha looks up when Elena takes her hand. They haven't actually exchanged names. She's not entirely sure who this woman is, but she can understand pain. Still, she's not sure how to process what Elena's saying.]

Bound to him?

[ somehow, through all the truth going around, elena finds it in her to circumvent the most relevant part of all this: that she's a vampire. that so is damon. she looks up with martha does; their eyes lock. ] It's... magic. Or something, it's... a bond. Whatever he says, I do it. I want to do it. I... would do anything to make him happy.

So. [ she trails off. ] We. He. [ she's unclear on this part. it's what damon wanted. what she wanted. what she knows she should want. ] Decided it would be better this way. [ yet it doesn't change anything. fix anything. help anything. ]

((OOC: And this is the point where Martha's mun realizes Elena and Martha have met face to face and exchanged names before. Twice! Pretend that's how this interview is being conducted!))


[Something still doesn't make sense.]

We don't have magic in my world. Just really advanced science.

But, it still doesn't make sense. Have you always been bonded to him? Who is him?

[Clearly not Sam as they're now 'just friends' as he so eloquently put it back at Christmas.]
