lycaon's curse

even a man who is pure at heart and says his prayers by night, may become a wolf when the wolfbane blooms, and the moon is shining bright.

given how the game did nick dirty on account of making him a basic plot-explaining tool, I'm gonna go ahead and headcanon a whole lycaon-the-first-werewolf-related greek au for him and yes, there are curses, mischief, gods and goddesses

so, some history first. lycaon, an arcadian king, is considered to be the first werewolf, and though sources differ on what exactly happened, two things are clear:

he offered zeus a meal of human flesh;

as punishment, zeus turned him into half-man, half-wolf, to show his beastly nature. supposedly, the silver aversion is a part of the whole 'you shall never eat like a man again [that is, from a silver plate], but will feast like an animal instead' thing.

some sources say initially, lycaon wanted to gain the gods' blessings in order to restore the once-prosperous land, and zeus favoured him because lycaon built him a grand temple. however, lycaon became obssessed with the idea of worshipping gods to the point of making human sacrifices and killing visitors of his land.

anyway, look at this awesome art by Sirmaril7. the turning of lycaon. i'm in awe.

so imagine young nikolaos, a descendant of the great king lycaon, unknowingly carrying the curse in him. zeus being a vindictive bitch, he curses the whole bloodline (although it's also said that lycaon bit his 50-something children, so), yet the wolf curse does not reveal itself so many generations after.

nikolaos is a soft-tempered young man, hard-working and honest, and shining. he is what's called beautiful rather than handsome. his beauty, people say, outshines the sun itself.

apollo, the god of the sun and a son of zeus (who as we remember is vindictive bitch, so), is angry with nikolaos as no one dares to be superior to a deity. having uncovered the secret of nikolaos's legacy, he tricks him the same way lycaon tried to trick zeus.

you see, nikolaos is very much in love with abigaia, a kind-hearted, flame-haired girl who loves him just as much. on the day of their wedding, apollo comes down from the sky to bless the pair, and a whole marvelous feast appears, magnificent at sight, rotten with a dark twist within. unknowongly, nikolaos eats human flesh, and the moment he does, lycaon's curse returns.

nikolaos is transformed into a brutal wolf, a creature so monstrous it wouldn't dare to even see the light of day, not to mention outshine the sun. horror-stricken, the creature runs to the wilderness to bury itself in shadows.

let's not forget about abigaia, though. for days, she wonders the woods trying to find the trail of her lost lover, yet she's never closer than the yellow gleam of his eyes, too far away from her. nikolaos is so afraid to harm his beloved, he runs further and further. he does not trust the beast and is ashamed of his own monstrosity. grieving, he howls day and night, until even magical creatures avoid his presense.

abigaia makes an offering to apollo and asks him to lift the curse, yet he is adamant. a wounded pride does not heal easily. other gods do not intervene. to them, humans are but sparks of falling stars against the vast night sky, their mortal woes too insignificant against eternal life. finally, abigaia pleads the goddesses of the moon to oppose apollo and take the curse away. artemis, the hunting goddess of the halfmoon and a twin sister to apollo, refuses her plea. hecate, the magic goddess of the dark moon and a cousin to apollo, also refuses. but selene, the goddess of the full moon, takes pity on her.

selene weaves the threads of the curse and binds them to herself, taking apollo's power in their never-ending day and night, sun and moon confrontation. she makes it that for almost thirty days, nikolaos remains human as he's always been, but when selene comes to take the sky, she takes him with her. on those nights, nikolaos is to lose all humanity and run with the moon in his beastly form. to spare him the horror, she makes him forget the night.

and so nikolaos is able to return to his beloved abigaia, and their reunion is celebrated so, that even mystical creatures of the forests and rivers join them for festivities. nikolaos's bloodline continues, and abigaia gives birth to four strong, handsome boys. and everything is well.

when the boys come of age, they join their father for a run under the moon, and when he cannot run anymore, four wolf cubs repay his eternal gratitude to selene by taking his place.

i want nick furcillo and jacob custos to kiss

I just want to remind you all that Vegemite chocolate was a thing in Australia in 2015 and holy shit did this circulate in my high school despite how disgustang it was

Which means that Nick probably would have tried it. Do you ever think he brings it up with the Hacketteers?

Dylan: so do you have a girlfriend?

Ryan: um, not exactly

Dylan: Boyfriend??!!!

Dylan: I fell into a trap. I went in for a kiss and now... he's got me! And he won't let me go!

Ryan: *spooning Dylan* You're mine.

Dylan: Yes I know but *tries to pull away* Eh!

Ryan: *pulls him back* Mine.

Dylan: Eh!

Ryan: Mine.

Dylan: Eh!

Ryan: Mine.

Dylan: *giving up* God dammit!

I’m starting to think this hyperfixation on this game is unhealthy lol

petition for the quarry being a show/movie w the orig cast now since they said they'd love to do it

Incorrect "The Quarry" 8 (NSFW)

Nick probably as Abi and Kaitlyn were helping him into the lodge:

Dylan: You might wanna slow down.

Nick: *eating a brownie* It's cool! I have a high metabolism.

Dylan: Those are edibles-

Nick: I know. That's why I'm eating them.

Dylan: They're full of cannabis...

Nick: *pause* All of them?

Dylan: How many did you just eat?

Nick: *panting* 10?! 12?

Dylan: Oh. My God! THAT amount with your body weight?? ...You're fine. It's fine.

Nick: THEN WHY ARE YOU MAKING THAT FACE?!

some quick concept sketches for dnd versions of the quarry characters

hey! if it’s not too much, could you write some poly abi/nick/emma :0 anything works, maybe werewolves if that’s okay! your writing is really amazing :)

A/N: Hi! Thank you so much <3 It means the world to me that you guys love reading what I write :D Your ask seriously made my day so I'm hoping you enjoy what I've written haha

One good thing about being previously infected was that Abi was able to tell how her partners were feeling just before the full moon. She didn't have to see the bags under Nick's eyes, or the paleness of Emma's skin to know that something was wrong. She could just tell, feel it even. It crawled across her skin and feasted on her nerves, leaving her body tingling and sore.

Even if Nick and Emma hadn't been cured of their werewolf infections, the least Abi could do was be there for them the day before the full moon. So that's what she did. It had become a monthly tradition for them to stay a night or two at her place. Emma often driving twelve hours just to get there and be with them, compared to Nick's four. But the distance didn't matter, they loved each other too much to let it get in the way.

This time, Abi had spent the day with them having a Mario Kart competition. Emma, ever the secret pro at the game, had always managed to bribe a kiss out of her or Nick whenever she won. Abi loved it though, and so did Nick. Emma would often joke about them being part-tomato because they were always in a constant state of red around her. But then again, so was she.

For dinner, Nick had made pizza, surprising them with a dessert one as well. This one had been loaded with chocolate sauce and marshmallows, and Abi hadn't been able to stop herself from bouncing up and down, squealing excitedly when she saw him making it. He had wrapped his arms around her, skin the temperature of a furnace as he stared down at her with loving amber eyes. She had learnt not to be scared of them anymore.

Nick leaned into her, whispering into her ear, "I've never made this before, but I really wanted to give it a try. I remember you saying how much you loved it."

She giggled and kissed him, "You didn't have to do that for me, but I appreciate it anyways."

"Of course he did," Emma slung her arms around them, laying a kiss on the tips of their noses. "Because he loves you and wants to see you happy. Especially after all you do for us. We both love you, Abi."

She beamed at her partners, happiness clearing her vision and making it brighter, filling her mind with sweetness and adoration for them, "I love you guys too."

To round off their day together and ease into the early evening, they had decided to put on a movie. Emma had grown an absolute fascination for them since what had happened at Hackett's Quarry, and decided to put on Scream. Nick, on the other hand, had developed an intense fear of them, and often sat in between her and Abi, clutching their hands and hiding in one of their shoulders whenever he got scared. She found it adorable, often peppering his cheek with kisses to calm him down as Emma smiled adoringly at them.

It seemed that the full moon didn't want them to see the ending to the movie, because when they had around twenty minutes left, Nick cleared his throat and hunched over. Abi had rubbed his back, looking over at Emma worryingly, trying to gauge her reaction, "Do we need to save it for tomorrow, sweetie?"

"N-No, I can hold on," He grunted, clearly lying as he struggled against it. "It's only a bit longer."

Emma took his hand, pulling him off the couch, "Nick, you shouldn't push yourself for us."

Abi followed them as she watched her partners walk towards the basement, "She's right. Emma and I have seen it a million times. You matter more than a movie."

Nick spun around, smiling sadly at her, tears brimming in his eyes, "I promise we'll finish it either way."

She walked over and took his hand, squeezing it and kissing him on the lips, "I know. Try not to be too loud tonight, Wolf-Man. I don't want the neighbours complaining again."

He cackled in amusement, giving her one back, "You should be telling Emma that. From what you've said, she's the one to rile me up."

Emma gasped, feigning shock and putting a hand to her lips, "I do no such thing! I am innocent in this situation! You take that back!"

"Not unless you can beat me in getting chained up, first," He bolted down the stairs, turning around to grin cheekily at them when he had reached the bottom. "Better hurry, Emma! Or else I won't!"

"Such a threat, Nick. Such a threat," She rolled her eyes affectionately. She kissed Abi goodbye, her tone taking on an uncharacteristic seriousness, "Take care, we'll see you in the morning."

Abi stroked her cheek, enjoying the way her flushed skin turned an even brighter shade, "I'll be here first thing. Now, go and get wild, She-Wolf."

Emma sighed jokingly, "I hate the nicknames you give us."

"You got any better ones?"

"...No."

"Exactly."

She giggled, wrapping Abi in a final hug, "I love you, and Nick."

"I love you guys too."

Nick yelled from where he had chained himself in the basement, "And I love you guys as well! But I'm afraid that Emma has lost the competition."

"Dammit!" The taller woman raced down the stairs. "Cheater! It's not fair if you start without me!"

Abi laughed at their banter, shutting the door and locking it. Even if it pained her to do so once a month, she knew that she would see them again in the morning. Just like she always did.

I wonder who my favourite the quarry character is

Okay hear me out:

Nick and Jacob are both deeply insecure. But I think that Nick fears that he's not enough-- not cool enough, not funny enough, not charming enough, not manly enough-- while Jacob fears that he's too much-- too stupid, too emotional, too needy.

But they both try to cope by pushing away that part of themselves. Nick has the tendency to go along with what the others want. He'll copy Jacob and Dylan, let them push him into things he might otherwise be uncomfortable with, act in ways he thinks they would ("hey, do me!") because they're his model of cool. Meanwhile, Jacob acts overconfident. He's insensitive, he's crass, he's mean ("one of Ryan's stupid podcasts"), he acts like he doesn't have a care in the world. And both of them are willing to open up about their vulnerabilities to the people they have feelings for, if they're able to get over the insecurities first.

I think that's why they butt heads at times. They're two sides of the same coin.

Nick: Wow Ryan that shirt looks really nice! It’d look better on Dylan’s floor though…

Ryan: Are you flirting with me for Dylan?

Nick: Well it’s not like he’s going to

Ryan: Nick you do know that me and Dylan are dating right?

Since I’ve seen this concept many times but never on my favorite characters, I’ll do it myself! ^^

Tell me an embarrassing story or an interesting fact about yourself in the comments, and I’ll assign you a Supermassive games character! 

(Specify if you want one game in particular ♡)

me 🤝 max brinly

being total bimbos

Trios 🤷‍♀️

Mom-I mean…

Ever since I heard this interaction, you can not tell me that this wasn't Dylan at some point :

On the floor in hysterics thinking about that one conversation

“swarm of bears?”

“…yeah?”

“herd of bears!”

“yeah I’ve heard of bears?”

that's actually really interesting. the only way for Emma to turn in the car is if she's bitten in Chapter 4, but if she stayed infected after you killed Chris then that obviously can't be the case. the wiki says she can get infected by Max by doing what you described, but again if she stayed infected after Chris died then that can't be right?? it's also really weird that she apparently got bitten off-screen

also reminds me, there's two variations of the car scene with Emma as a werewolf, one with everyone outside and one where Dylan ends up hiding in the car, and I still haven't figured out how to get that second version of the scene. don't know if it's related to what you've got going on

definitely lemme know once you figure it out

quick FamilyEcho of the werewolves, who infects who and when, because I can never remember all of them off the top of my head

blue boxes are unavoidable, pink boxes are dependant on player choices

I checked the wiki and every bit of ending text I could find, so I'm fairly confident these are all correct, but feel free to say something if you see an error

fun things I realised while making this:

Abi is the only counsellor who is guaranteed to be cured if she gets infected

not counting individual QTEs, Dylan has the most opportunities to be infected, two of which are caused by his hand being bitten

Caleb has the most guaranteed infections, while Silas has the most potential infections

Dylan and Kaitlyn are the only counsellors who can be infected by Silas, meaning they would be the only ones still infected if Caleb died and Laura failed to kill Silas

it would be impossible to get an ending with everyone infected, as Abi will always be cured and Ryan cannot survive without killing Chris, curing everyone Chris infected

Dylan can be infected again after losing his hand, but it will not grow back. this is either because he doesn't stay infected long enough to turn, or maybe werewolf regeneration simply isn't strong enough

if Jacob is infected, he can actually survive having his head crushed in a bear trap

Nick is the only counsellor who can infect an NPC, that being Bobby, however Bobby will always amputate his finger to prevent infection

Laura, Max and Emma are the only counsellors who can infect other counsellors

Max is only counsellor guaranteed to infect someone, and the only counsellor who can potentially infect multiple people

Abi, Dylan, Ryan and Kaitlyn can never kill anyone while in werewolf form. Abi and Ryan are cured too soon, Kaitlyn is infected too late, and Dylan seemingly stays in/near the scrapyard after turning

Emma and Dylan are the only counsellors who can be infected by more than one werewolf, meaning they're also the only ones who can turn at various times

Dylan will only turn in-game if infected in Chapter 5, meaning Emma is the only counsellor who can turn at various times during the game

Ryan is the only counsellor whose survival is dependent on being infected. infection can save multiple characters from various failed QTEs, but Ryan is the only one guaranteed to die unless infected

Laura is the only werewolf that can potentially infect someone while still in human form, and consequently the only one who can infect someone with consent

if Dylan and Kaitlyn are not infected by Silas, every character could hypothetically be cured by killing only Caleb. unfortunately this wouldn't work in-game, as Kaylee always dies, Chris can't die after Caleb, and surviving the Hackett House forces Ryan and Laura to confront Silas
