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.

Lost. He says it so simply like that. Quiet, obviously hurting. Lost.

Dead.

Gone.

Because of him.

"Who?" I need to know, but I'm not looking at Hiromu. I'm looking across the room. I'm looking at him, and knowing he's responsible.

[red_pleather]

"Morishita," I say softly, then I have to take a deep, shuddery breath before this one. "Ryuu-san."

[interpolate]

No.

I think I'm probably closer to Morishita than any of the others, by virtue of Takosawa insisting that I stay up to date on all the duties required of the Controllers, in case my Weak Point should ever degenerate to the point where I have to be stricken from Active Field Duty.

Was closer, I realize. I shake my head and turn away, but his next words bring me around, and tears spring to my eyes immediately.

"No." It comes out as a whimper, but grief is very suddenly overtaken by rage, and I peel away from Hiromu and throw myself across the room at Enter. "You bastard!"

up to you how successful his attempt is

[red_pleather]

He goes tense all over, and I have to close my eyes against the pain in his voice even as I'm moving to try to hug him.

Except he's not within reach any more.

*Shit*.

I hurl myself at Etienne. "No, get off him, it's not his fault!"

surprise character swap again, lololol why am I doing this to myself.

[interpolate]

I'd nearly managed to check out completely. While Etienne's deteriorating state was enough to distract Hiromu from me, I'd nearly managed to find all of the little locks and checks in place to keep me bound here. If I succeeded, it would have been as painless as sleep, but without me they might not be able to reverse it.

But instead, my brother is suddenly flying at me, his fist connecting with the side of my head, a strike that never would have landed had I been paying any kind of attention. Or maybe it would have. Maybe I would have let him. I'd let him kill me, if it wouldn't hurt him.

"Eti." I wince and look up at him as Hiromu tries to pull him back. "I'm sorry."

masochist <3333333

[red_pleather]

I manage to get my arms around Etienne's shoulders eventually, but it's a struggle to yank him back even though he's barely recovered from the point of death.

"It wasn't him," I say hoarsely, indistinctly, into Etienne's ear. "Please. Etienne. Listen."

WHO ME??

[interpolate]

I struggle against Hiromu's grip, but in the end, physical exhaustion and devastation wins out and I collapse to the floor away from Enter cowering pathetically in the corner.

I'm not much better, on the pathetic front. I curl up with my face in both hands, and sob. I don't know what else to do.

YES YOU *adores*

[red_pleather]

Etienne collapses, and now I have two of them on the floor and I'm not in much better shape.

I rub my forehead, and sink down next to Etienne. I wrap an arm around him, lean my chin on his shoulder, and just hold him for a little.

Then I look up, and gesture with my free hand to Emeric. Etienne would probably freak out. But I can't leave him alone over there, when he's hurting as well.

[interpolate]

I can't help but look around when my brother collapses. I'm worried about him, certainly, though I know full well I have no right to be.

What I don't expect is Hiromu's hand, beckoning. I follow his arm up and lock eyes with him for a moment before I turn away again, shaking my head. I can't. I don't deserve it, and more than that, I'm scared of what I might do. What I might be made to do. I'm scared of hurting them even more.

[red_pleather]

I raise my eyebrows at Emeric, pushing wordlessly, but it's not going to happen.

I'll respect his wishes for the moment and stay with Etienne.
