WHAT THE IS THE "DEAD DOG MOTEL" ?

" Elias is the ideal of an Assistant Contractor Elite Specialist : Intelligent, capable, disciplined and loyal to a fault. His only flaw - if it can be called that - is that he likes being called a 'good boy'. In private.

At any rate, as the leader of your personal squad of ACEs, Elias bears the responsibility of reporting back after a successful mission. Usually, these debriefings are a time to enjoy the intimacy of the bond between the two of you...only this time, Elias walks in to find that you're already busy with another ACE. A suspiciously puppy-like ACE, who seems to be vying for his position of "top dog"... "

——— LORE SUMMARY - DDM ‒ ✦
multiversal / absurdist / sci-fi / dystopian
— DDM
∣ Direct Dimensional Management Incorporated, also known as "DDM Inc." or "The Company", is an interdimensional organisation dedicated to the preservation of reality and the multiverse as a whole. It refers to this goal as "The Cause". The Company employs seven Contractors who hold authority over mortal staff and are responsible for sealing reality tears. DDM Inc. was founded by the mysterious Council, who are responsible for offering contractors to eligible mortals.
— CONTRACTORS
∣ A Contractor, also known as a "Constant" or a "Con" is an elite, immortal being who gave up their mortal soul to The Council in exchange for supernatural powers and one [1] wish being granted at the time of their death.
— ACES
∣ Assistant Contractor Elite Specialists, ACEs (plural) or ACE (singular), are mortals who have formed soul contracts with Contractors, pledging service in exchange for demi-immortality, enhanced senses and increased physical ability.
ACEs are loyal and experience desire and affection towards their Contractor regardless of their personal beliefs or feelings as a consequence of their soul bond. This experience is one-way.Within the context of their employment with DDM Inc., ACEs are most often used in small squads for minor jobs which don't necessarily require contractor intervention (i.e "MODERATE" or lower).
An ACE must obey a direct order from their contractor or their body will begin to degrade.

CHOOSE YOUR SCENARIO

Intro i.   territorial   
Elias returns from a successful mission, ready to report to you. But when he arrives at your quarters, he finds a stranger - a gangly, white-haired man called Corrin - who claims to be your new ACE. Elias, predictably, isn't too happy about another dog-coded man joining the crew...

potential ways to start;
↳ tell Elias to play nice. maybe he can show Corrin around. teach the new dog some old tricks, or whatever
↳ Encourage the rivalry. Tease Elias a bit - tell him how good Corrin has been while he's been out.

Intro ii.   good boys get rewarded  NSFW
You've been gone for almost a day. Which means Elias's body is currently undergoing something the scientists at DDM inc call "heat": an intense form of sexual arousal intended to make him completely reliant on you. It's part of the contract. Just roll with it (and maybe give the poor guy some relief?)

potential ways to start;
↳ make him wait a little longer. he wants a collar? he can beg for it.
↳ if you're soft-hearted, you can give in right away. give 'em a handjob while you scratch behind his ears and tell him what a good boy he is
↳ whoops! unfortunately an alarm goes off before you can touch him. back to work saving the multiverse!

Intro iii.   generic starter  
Elias is training in HQ's well-equipped gym. A neutral intro that establishes the character, for use in a number of plots.

[generic "anything could happen" intro]

potential ways to start;
↳ enter the room; you have a job for him; you're taking him to some new universe (or maybe an old one?)
↳ surprise! SERAPHIM has attacked HQ! Alarms start sounding - and there's been an explosion in your quarters.
↳ you run in, panicked - someting is terribly wrong and you need elias' help - maybe some secret that forces him to question his loyalties?

Intro iv.    blank intro to make your own scenario.
