Captivity Meme, anyone?

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.

[oh crap oh crap oh crap]

[.....ahhhh]

[straightening my jacket, tentative grin, running my eyes over you to gauge the tension in each muscle]

I only learn from the best.

[He moved into a meditation pose and closed his eyes as he regulated his breathing again. Though, there was still a rumbling growl occasionally when he took a deep breath.]

Even when I'm not at my best, it seems.

[When he does open his eyes again, it's with a small smile.]

Thank you.

[fighting the tiger down at the growling]

You have every right. You got hurt.

No problem.

[spiritofthewolf]

[Territorial wolf is territorial. Normally it doesn't bother him but with the wolf so out of control, the big cat in his space is a little much.]

Normally getting hurt doesn't mean a spirit goes all crazy. I'm setting a rather bad example.

[Because that mess with Dai Shi trying to steal his spirit was months ago.]

[tigerspirit]

[I really want to give a big huff of air here but I'm working on controlling my breathing, so I'll exhale slowly]


And if you're setting a bad example, that definitely means there's a reason, right? Do you know it? Or should I... call one of the masters for help?

[spiritofthewolf]

[It's appreciated. You are being a very good leader right now Casey and RJ is proud of you.

He's quiet for a few long moments and it's obvious that he doesn't want to say what he's thinking before he gives a resigned sigh.]

Under times of great stress, animal spirits have known to react violently, like when Dai Shi tried to steal my spirit. I'm sure it's just my spirit still getting over that.

[It can also happen at times when a person is sick or mentally not in control of themselves but that's not something he wants to admit. Especially since the last thing he wants his Casey telling his dad.]

[tigerspirit]

[I couldn't manage this much without you, without all of you]

[listening intently]

It's been awfully long, though. You shouldn't have to put up with it like this, surely...?

[spiritofthewolf]

[Another long pause. Then a heavy sigh that doubled as a soft howling noise.]

It...it can also happen as a defense mechanism when a person isn't feeling well, physically or mentally. Extremely, not feeling well.

[His hands were doing double time as a gestured while he explained, a clear sign of his nerves.]

[tigerspirit]

[crap crap crap crap crap]

[quietly] ...how exactly are you 'not feeling well'?
