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.
*g*
Date: 2012-05-20 02:03 am (UTC)It's just us. Just me and him, and Etienne waiting upstairs for any goddamn information Enter can give me.
no subject
Date: 2012-05-20 02:07 am (UTC)"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?
no subject
Date: 2012-05-20 02:23 am (UTC)"Anything in your medical history? Does Messiah have any other agents operating out here with abilities different from yours? Anything?"
no subject
Date: 2012-05-20 02:29 am (UTC)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?"
no subject
Date: 2012-05-20 03:24 am (UTC)...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."
no subject
Date: 2012-05-20 03:38 am (UTC)"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."
no subject
Date: 2012-05-20 04:33 am (UTC)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.
no subject
Date: 2012-05-20 04:40 am (UTC)"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)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.
no subject
Date: 2012-05-20 03:18 pm (UTC)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."
no subject
Date: 2012-05-21 12:23 am (UTC)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."
no subject
Date: 2012-05-21 01:20 am (UTC)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."
no subject
Date: 2012-05-21 04:05 am (UTC)"I cannot start trusting you again," I grate out in warning.
no subject
Date: 2012-05-21 04:12 am (UTC)Too bad it means nothing.
He's right. I don't deserve his trust.
"Just let me see my brother."
no subject
Date: 2012-05-21 04:26 am (UTC)"Through here."
no subject
Date: 2012-05-21 04:37 am (UTC)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..."
no subject
Date: 2012-05-21 05:00 am (UTC)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.
no subject
Date: 2012-05-21 05:03 am (UTC)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.
no subject
Date: 2012-05-21 05:26 am (UTC)Fix him, Emeric. Please.
no subject
Date: 2012-05-21 05:29 am (UTC)"I need a computer." I say softly, wondering if that's something I'm going to be allowed.
no subject
Date: 2012-05-21 01:46 pm (UTC)"To do what, exactly," I ask flatly. "I will not give you access to EMC systems."
no subject
Date: 2012-05-21 02:05 pm (UTC)"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.
no subject
Date: 2012-05-21 03:19 pm (UTC)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.
no subject
Date: 2012-05-21 03:22 pm (UTC)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..."
no subject
Date: 2012-05-21 03:29 pm (UTC)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.
