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.

I raise an eyebrow, just a little. "I have no idea how it was done. All I know is the effects. I'll rephrase. Have you ever done anything that's had that kind of effect on anyone before?"

It's just us. Just me and him, and Etienne waiting upstairs for any goddamn information Enter can give me.

Smug little bastard. I almost feel bad, because he has lost people. I'm not sure about the stranger, but there is definitely a note of regret at the back of my mind for Ryuuji. This is not something I would have done on my own, I know that, whether he does or not.

"Non," I answer finally. "I am not aware of having any such power. Temporary mind control, personal teleportation, inordinate strength in my cables. But to... to cause someone to shut down like that. No."

My brother. What has happened to my brother?

Date: 2012-05-20 02:23 am (UTC)
red_pleather: (thinking)
From: [personal profile] red_pleather
I don't have Ryuu-san's strength, but I can punch the wall next to my head with enough power to leave my knuckles bleeding.

"Anything in your medical history? Does Messiah have any other agents operating out here with abilities different from yours? Anything?"

Date: 2012-05-20 02:29 am (UTC)
interpolate: ([twins] Emeric)
From: [personal profile] interpolate
I wrinkle my nose when he hits the wall, but at least he's not hitting me.

Medical history? Do I even have one? The idea of other agents is frankly laughable, for if that were the case I imagine Messiah would be free by now.

Anything.

"I don't remember the space of time you are referring too. I also don't remember how I ended up in your custody." I hesitate. I'll probably get hit for this question, but I have to ask. "I can I see him?"

Date: 2012-05-20 03:24 am (UTC)
red_pleather: (...hm yes)
From: [personal profile] red_pleather
I frown at that, because he should remember. "You were vocal. You seemed coherent."

...and I probably shouldn't even trust that he doesn't remember, but it's hard not to. Not with that expression on his face. He's near stopped us already, what purpose would it serve for him to lie?

I press the heels of my hands into my eyes for a moment. I don't want to do this, but maybe it'll spur something in him. If he's lying, or truly has forgotten something, maybe the desperation of seeing his brother -- and yeah, I'm beginning to believe he still loves his brother -- will give him something that'll let us save Etienne. I'm far past the point of desperation right now.

"Yes."

Date: 2012-05-20 03:38 am (UTC)
interpolate: ([enter] majeste)
From: [personal profile] interpolate
I squint at him, tilting my head far to one side, wondering how I could seem coherent and not remember a single thing afterwards.

"Did I sound like me? Hiromu," I use his name so he understands the gravity, because I'm beginning to realize something and it's making me distinctly uncomfortable.

He says yes, which impresses me enough. I wet my lips, then nod. "Take me to him, please. I will do what I can."

Date: 2012-05-20 04:33 am (UTC)
red_pleather: (thoughtful in green)
From: [personal profile] red_pleather
Did he sound like him-

That seems ridiculous. A completely ridiculous question. But I don't know the answer, and he's actually using my name. "...maybe not," I say tightly. "What are you implying?"

A few calls later, and enough use of dire comments, and I have a pathway cleared for us. "Guards will be watching us move. They'll flood the corridors with anaesthetic gas if you try anything."

Enough to make me seriously sick for weeks, but that doesn't matter. He won't try anything.

He'd better not.

Date: 2012-05-20 04:40 am (UTC)
interpolate: ([enter] smirky)
From: [personal profile] interpolate
"For example, did I use any Français?" Might as well make it quite clear for him.

"I am implying that..." Well, I haven't felt any particular connection upon waking, and so I assume it is safe to be relatively irreverent for the moment. Particularly if my brother's life is at stake. He is my perpetual desire and goal. "That perhaps I was not in charge of my own actions during this... altercation."

I clear my throat, watching him warily and listening to his warnings. "Of course, Hiromu, of course. Just get me to him, please."

Once we're on the move I continue my line of questioning. "Tell me, Hiromu, how were you able to subdue me, in the end? I have evaded capture or confrontation for this long. What changed?"

I probably should've thought of this

Date: 2012-05-20 05:03 am (UTC)
red_pleather: (oh my poor heddd)
From: [personal profile] red_pleather
I think back. I was a little preoccupied, but... "I don't think you did," I say quietly. "Messiah?"

We begin moving. I stay behind him and to the side, hand never far from a weapon just in case. The guards on his wrists seem secure enough, though.

I know I'll have some explaining to do with Kuroki once this is over. I didn't tell him what I was doing with Enter. But I don't care.

Near growling, I tell him. "Seems that Ryuu-san wasn't the only one with abilities that intensify when in extreme situations."

Grief and rage appear to unlock mine.

Date: 2012-05-20 03:18 pm (UTC)
interpolate: ([enter] majeste)
From: [personal profile] interpolate
Merde. "Oui, that is... probable. It is not a thing I was aware Majesté could do, and I am admittedly concerned about the reasoning behind it."

I hum softly. What was Messiah after? Complete destruction of the Go-Busters? Most likely. That would explain a lot, actually, I have never been particularly secretive in regards to my goal of keeping my brother alive.

"I fear this is my own fault." I admit. Hiromu might actually understand. For being so straightforward, so blunt, he also tends to see things more clearly than anyone else. "Majesté... I'm sure its intent was to kill Etienne."

Date: 2012-05-21 12:23 am (UTC)
red_pleather: (earnest and determined)
From: [personal profile] red_pleather
I growl under my breath. "To cut any ties you have with us."

It all makes sense, and I should've thought of it before. "All this time I've thought Etienne the safest of all of us with you."

Date: 2012-05-21 01:20 am (UTC)
interpolate: ([enter] undercover)
From: [personal profile] interpolate
"Something like that," I muse quietly, though I'm thinking more along the lines of to bring me under control.

I stop moving for a moment, turning to look at Hiromu, to meet his eyes. "Je suis désolé. I'm sorry." I say softly. "I wanted to protect him, and apparently in doing so, I caused majesté to do... this. It was never my intent."

Date: 2012-05-21 04:05 am (UTC)
red_pleather: (oi what?)
From: [personal profile] red_pleather
I stare at him for a long moment, then shake my head. I don't want to waver. I will collapse and I might not get up again.

"I cannot start trusting you again," I grate out in warning.

Date: 2012-05-21 04:12 am (UTC)
interpolate: ([twins] Emeric)
From: [personal profile] interpolate
I wince a little at that, but it's fair. I step away from him and duck my head. I actually bow. Huh. This guilt is real, then.

Too bad it means nothing.

He's right. I don't deserve his trust.

"Just let me see my brother."

Date: 2012-05-21 04:26 am (UTC)
red_pleather: (Default)
From: [personal profile] red_pleather
I nod, hating that the disappointment on his face actually affects me. This is stupid. He might not be responsible for what's happened but it was still his body and I have still been utterly wrong to trust.

"Through here."

Date: 2012-05-21 04:37 am (UTC)
interpolate: ([twins] Etienne)
From: [personal profile] interpolate
I remain silent as he leads me in.

And it's a trick, too, because once I see my poor little brother there, looking for all the world like Messiah succeeded and he's dead, I want to scream. I want to tear the walls down.

I stumble. I can't remember the last time I stumbled, but I do, and my knees hit the floor with a crack.

"Non..."

Date: 2012-05-21 05:00 am (UTC)
red_pleather: (oh my poor heddd)
From: [personal profile] red_pleather
I pause for a second, because why does it bother me if he's upset, after everything he's done?

Then I curse under my breath and go down on one knee next to Ent- next to Emeric, an arm around him. I am an inch away from cracking. But I can't leave such pain unanswered.

Date: 2012-05-21 05:03 am (UTC)
interpolate: ([enter] man at work)
From: [personal profile] interpolate
He's touching me. His arm is around my shoulder, and he's not scared of me, and for a second, just for a second we're able to share pain, and I understand finally that maybe he does care, almost as much as I do.

I wonder what I've missed in my brother's life. Do him and Hiromu share something special? More than just co-workers, more than just companions and comrades?

Will I ever get a chance to find out?

And then I shove it all away. Deep down, buried where it can't be a problem. And I'm up, I'm moving to the edge of the bed, I'm touching gently. I need to fix him. I will fix him.

Date: 2012-05-21 05:26 am (UTC)
red_pleather: (Default)
From: [personal profile] red_pleather
He gets up and moves to Etienne's side. I take a shuddery breath and stand next to him. I allow myself to stroke poor Etienne's hair back, tucking it behind his ear, then I jam my hands in my pockets.

Fix him, Emeric. Please.

Date: 2012-05-21 05:29 am (UTC)
interpolate: ([enter] humph)
From: [personal profile] interpolate
I watch Hiromu tuck his hair back. He wears his hair longer than mine is, and he's not well, so it's all disheveled. He might be sleeping off a bad cold, just looking at him, but I know there's more to it. Something's wrong inside, I'm sure of it. Messiah doesn't really understand humans. It attacked Etienne the way it would attack a machine.

"I need a computer." I say softly, wondering if that's something I'm going to be allowed.

Date: 2012-05-21 01:46 pm (UTC)
red_pleather: (smiling in tan)
From: [personal profile] red_pleather
I freeze.

"To do what, exactly," I ask flatly. "I will not give you access to EMC systems."

Date: 2012-05-21 02:05 pm (UTC)
interpolate: ([enter] headtilt)
From: [personal profile] interpolate
That's to be expected. He shouldn't trust me, but I need him to trust me, and the precarious balance holds my brother's life in its sway.

"I don't want that. I need access to his systems." That might sound insane, but then again, I'm not sure if the Go-Busters are aware of just how much machine they are.

Date: 2012-05-21 03:19 pm (UTC)
red_pleather: (oh my poor heddd)
From: [personal profile] red_pleather
I look at Etienne's face, tense with pain, and at Emeric's. Also tense.

If he'd truly wanted to kill him...

I close my eyes for a moment, but once I make a decision it stays made. "A moment." I send a message to the guards then step to the doorway.

Date: 2012-05-21 03:22 pm (UTC)
interpolate: ([enter] headtilt)
From: [personal profile] interpolate
I nod, stepping closer to the bed as he moves closer to the door.

I'm amazed that I'm not shaking. I would like to be, because then I could get some of my tension out that way. But I'm steady as a rock when I place the back of my fingers against my poor brother's cheek.

"Je t'aime..."

Date: 2012-05-21 03:29 pm (UTC)
red_pleather: (...hm yes)
From: [personal profile] red_pleather
The guard hands me a stripped down machine, with no access to our systems -- except if he can manage wireless, which I'm sure he can, but I have to take some risks to try to get Etienne *fixed*.

The door closes behind me and I hear weapons cocking. It's reassuring. If I fall, they won't b taken by surprise.

"Here," I say, handing the tiny machine to Emeric.
