Captivity Meme, anyone?

[gibken]

THE CAPTIVITY MEME

You've been captured -- or maybe you've been held captive for a while now. Whatever the case, you've lost your freedom, and there's a specific person responsible for that. You might be a prisoner, a mental patient, a kidnap victim, or someone's pet. Maybe you're there willingly, or maybe the choice has been taken away from you completely.

Both smut and non-smut scenarios are possible. If you don't want to play smut, please indicate so in the title line of your tag.

1. Leave a tag with your character. Be sure to include any limits on what you are willing to play, as this meme has the potential to be triggering.
2. Someone else tags in and uses RNG to generate a number between 1 and 9 (or pick your favorite). The second character is holding the first character captive now.
3. ???
4. Profit!



1. For their own good. Does this person really think they could make it on their own? It's a big, scary world out there, and you need to protect them from it, whether they like it or not.

2. For the good of society. Forget protecting this person -- it's your duty to protect the world from them! Maybe they committed a terrible crime, or maybe they were falsely condemned, but it's your job to keep them locked up where they can't do any more harm.

3. Because they're not well. How's your bedside manner? Whether you're Florence Nightingale or Mildred Ratched, you're in the position of ministering to the mentally ill. Maybe this person genuinely needs your help, or maybe you're just turning a blind eye to their true sanity.

4. For the money. Higher aims? What higher aims? This person is your meal ticket, and they're staying put until their loved ones pay up.

5. For their love. It might be a case of yandere, or it might be a consenting BDSM relationship. Whether it's by mutual agreement or by force, you're keeping them simply because you love them.

6. Because they're cute and fluffy. Who's a cutesy wutesy? They are! Yes, they are! This person is your pet now. Maybe they're a different species from you, or maybe you just don't care that you're both people. Maybe you're even an alien zookeeper looking after a new acquisition.

7. Because they're your property. Slave? Livestock? Who cares what they think - they're your property, and you decide their fate.

8. For the lulz. Hey, what's a little bondage between friends? You'll let them go, once you're done laughing and snapping photos... maybe.

9. Choose a scenario, or combine several.

...that smile.

He seems like a very happy person, and I like that. Reminds me of Gai. "You certainly can," I say gently. "I'm Ahim. Are you all right? Can I help you find someone?"

[okashioageru]

Candy is delicious! Like all other candy.

Girl person is Ahim person. "Want Mezul."

Will need more candy. For Mezul.

...probably should've picked someone who knows who Mezul is, DUH

[ahimdefamille]

I nod. "I will assist you. Is she your sister? Your friend? Were you with her today?"

Re: ...probably should've picked someone who knows who Mezul is, DUH

[okashioageru]

Girl person is staying still now. Will make yummy! Yummy will find Mezul.

...no cell medal?

DO NOT WANT.

"Mezuuuuuuuuul~"

[ahimdefamille]

I blink rapidly as he makes the most mournful sound I have heard in quite some time. "I will assist you. You have my word," I say gently. "Perhaps we could start walking? Does she like anywhere in particular near here, a shop, a cafe, the river, the park...?"

[okashioageru]

"Mezul likes water." Lots of water.

I giggle and want more candy. "Fishies!"

[ahimdefamille]

I smile at his enthusiasm. "Then let us walk by the water, and perhaps we shall find her."

[okashioageru]

"Find Mezul." I nod. Mezul likes water.

"And candy."

Will follow Ahim person. Ahim person help me find Mezul!

[catcameback]

Since finding Yummy (okay, maybe that's a little weird, but he's a good cat and he follows me around now that his eyes are open, and what else was I going to name him?), I don't go anywhere without him. He's getting pretty good at balancing on my shoulders without digging his claws in too much.

I'm walking down along the river with him when I catch sight of...

Is that...

No way.

He's not alone, but he obviously hasn't found Mezool yet. I don't know who he's attached himself too.

"Gamel!"

post order Gamel->Ahim->Kazali?

[okashioageru]

Voice? I hear voice!

"Kazali?" Is Kazali! With kitty! Go to Kazali, hold Kazali. "Where is Mezul?"

sure <3 I have to go to bed soon but will advise, skip me then!

[ahimdefamille]

"What an adorable kitten," I say, enchanted. "Hello, I am Ahim, I take it you know my friend Gamel here?"

[catcameback]

I actually squeak a bit when Gamel grabs me, Yummy leaps from my shoulder and frolics a few paces away.. God damn he is tall. Taller than Uva. Wow. And strong.

"Gamel, it's alright, it's me." I look at his little friend with a wave. Yummy is winding around her ankles, so I guess she's alright. "I'm Kazari. Yeah, I know Gamel." I pull back so I can catch Gamel's eye. "I know where Mezool is, okay. Have you eaten anything?" I assume he's a human now, like the rest of us. "Not just candy, Gamel, real food."

[okashioageru]

Kitty ran away.

"I want Mezul!" I stomp. Wanting feels weird. Different.

But candy? "Ahim person gave me candy!" Tummy rumble. "But want more!"

[ahimdefamille]

I bend to pick up the adorable little kitten, and scritch it gravely behind the ear. "Kazari, will you and Gamel be all right or can I give you some assistance?" I ask politely. "I must get back to my friends, but if you need me..."

[catcameback]

I pat Gamel on the... arm, as reaching his shoulder is a bit of a stretch. "We'll be okay." I manage a smile at her and a little wave. "Thank's for looking out for him, though." She's a stranger, so it's not like I have to tell her Gamel's life story.

"Yummy, c'mere." I purr at the cat. I think Gamel wants to hold him. Might keep him calm while I try to track down Mezool.

[okashioageru]

Tummy still rumble. Feels strange.

Kazali and Ahim person talk. Ahim person pets kitty!

Where is Mezul?

[ahimdefamille]

"All right. Good luck," I say gratefully. "It was pleasant to meet you both."

I pat the kitten again and hand it over. Time to find the others again.

[catcameback]

"Good to meet you too." I say offhandedly. She's pretty cute, and small like Mezool, so I could see why Gamel attached himself to her.

Yummy crawls up my sleeve to perch on my shoulder so he can rear up and sniff at Gamel's face. "Let's get you some food first, Gamel, okay?" I've got my phone out, and Uva'd gotten a phone and given me the number, so I should be able to track Mezool down easily enough. But I'm more concerned about Gamel not dying of starvation.

Not sushi, that's for sure. Where can I take him, then?

[okashioageru]

"Bye bye, Ahim person!" I wave at Ahim person.

Kazali has kitty again! And other thing. "Get some food?" Will make tummy not rumble?

Something weird. Can't find cell medal. "Kazali, something is wrong..."

[catcameback]

Well, at least Gamel has a friend. I let Yummy climb up onto Gamel's shoulder and make a beckoning gesture. I don't know of a lot of places to get food, but one of them is that restaurant where Ankh lives. That might be helpful too. I don't think Gamel ever quite realized how much at odds all the rest of us were at times.

"Yeah, we're going to get you some food." I send Uva a quick text message, Gamel back too. He wants Mezool.

I slow down so he can keep up with me, looking up at him with a little frown. "What's wrong, Gamel?"

[okashioageru]

I HAVE KITTY. "KITTY."

Follow Kazali and pet kitty. Tummy rumble.

"Can't make yummy." Show Kazali my hand. "No medals."

[catcameback]

Yummy seems happy. I can actually hear Gamel's stomach growling, so I'm glad we're almost at the restaurant. I have enough money to buy him some stuff.

"No, you're not gonna be able to make yummies anymore." I say quietly. "All the Medals are gone." Now I'm kind of hoping Ankh or Eiji will be at the restaurant, because I... stopped existing a while before any of the others.

"What do you remember last, before meeting Ahim?" I ask him quietly. How did Gamel... die?

[okashioageru]

"Medals...gone?" No more medals. "Then, how...we..."

Think hard. Real hard. Remember pain, and... "Mezul?" I gave Mezul candy. "And candy."

[catcameback]

"All gone." I admit. "We're just human now. That's why you're hungry."

Well, that's not really any help. I run my hands through my hair, wondering. I guess it doesn't really matter. He's back now, that's all five of us.

I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

[okashioageru]

Still no cell medal. "Human...how? Why?"

More memories. "Uva and Mezul too? How?"

Do not understand. But am hungry. Maybe Kazali will give me candy.
