Since everyone else is asking questions:

Bonding Pacts: How revealing are the connections? Can you feel everything the other is feeling? Can you keep anything private?

Has anyone had a bad experience with a bond?

Did your bond help with corruption or beasthood?

Did you regret getting one?


[ ...and then another, since he might as well: ]

And unrelated: How many times have you died here? Does it have side effects?

I died once in the dream and it was pretty miserable.
Haven't died here but from what I've seen it doesn't seem to be as bad as it was there.
It got worse every time you died back there and I haven't seen anyone dealing with the effects that popped up there.

I've got two bonds. A romantic one and a rivalry one.
I'm not quite sure if they're like 24/7 kind of things. But I feel like it more comes and goes-
I've only really tried to hold things back once. I probably wouldn't recommend making the connection if you aren't willing to share that much of yourself with someone.

If that's giving you second thoughts. You might not be ready to make that decision.

wait theres more than one? anyway, i can feel w/e my sis is feeling and she can feel what im feeling.

DEMONSTRATION TIME! right now, vi is feeling a tad bit grumpy. its not a srs grump tho. the kind u get when u want something but u have to wait. and w/e she's wanting (and BEATS ME what that smth is!), she has NOOOOO patience for.


( what she is describing is vi being hungry. because now looking at the time, it is about that dinner time hour.)

and its making me impatient! buuuuut im going to fix that for the both of us. im going to try and make her get over herself. if u dont know me, im the type who gets what i want, when i want, and HOW i want it. sooo i just think back when my old man and i practically RUN the city back home. nothing stopping us and how we always came up on top. the BEST feeling in the whole world. just go go!

and now? shoving it to my sis. and boom, boom, POP! that easy.

I have made two in my time here, both the "familial" sort. The first was made with a young lady I considered to be a niece of mine, and only because the practicality of being able to draw one another back from corruption if necessary sounded like a wise thing. However, I found that the connection brought me a great deal of comfort in my day to day, and the feel of her presence made things much less lonely. In that sense, I believe the bonds may well help to protect from corruption before it even has a chance to set in, if one is connected to someone so trusted.

These days my bond is with my lover. Because we can sense one another's feelings but not hear one another's thoughts, there is a certain sense of privacy to it. Knowing one of us is feeling this or that, the other may investigate or offer comfort. However, there is no need to speak of anything if we do not wish it. I find the sense of respectful companionship to be a welcome thing.

And, if one of us is ever in danger, the other knows immediately, and can stand at attention right away.

I have one, an empathetic one with my partner. In terms of privacy I've found it is possible to obscure or hide matters, though it will be obvious you are doing so. I strongly recommend a long discussion on matters of privacy with whoever you may be interested in doing this with.

Ours has helped with corruption. I have not regretted it in the slightest.

As for deaths I have not. I have seen people unable to walk for a time after waking again, that seems somewhat typical. Blood ministers might have more to say on death sickness in general.

Oh. Okay. I'm not sure about the other ones since I only got the the two.

But the hostile one doesn't have any communication like that. It's more power sharing than anything.

But either way. If you want to share a connection with someone like that. You should know what you're in for and be ready to share if you're going to make the connection.

Trying to find ways around it that might not always work could just lead to disappointment and frustration down the road.

I have two, with the same person. If he comes back... you can keep some things private if you're good at detaching yourself from things mentally.

I haven't had a bad experience with a bond. When I was in danger he was able to come find me.

I don't know how much it's helped with corruption, but it probably has.

I don't regret it, though.

I haven't died here, but I've heard it does have side effects. I've died before, though.

Don't sweat it.
You might be a little sick when you first wake up. But it's nothing a bottles of beer wont cure.

0 deaths and hoping to keep it that way. I've heard it's kind of like waking up like when we first arrive when you come back.

About a 2-3 right now.
I've had a drink with breakfast, that's it so far.
But that could change pretty fucking fast with the right motivation.

You can try to resist but things flow between the bond like an endless loop and it seeps through. You give and receive feedback, especially with emotions. Sometimes you can almost drown in another person's feelings.

Still, I don't regret it.

Do you fear bonding and regretting it?

Died once. Disoriented and confused, hard to remember who I was or what happened, took several hours for that to come back. Body didn't feel like it fit properly for at least a few days. Almost similar to waking up on the beach upon arrival, only worse.

It depends on the kind you do.

I have one with my husband, and had one with one of my kids. We all made them to

In case we lost each other. So we'd know the other person was still there, somewhere.
