meme | #001 -- hardest words to say ( and i'd do anything to make you stay )

HARDEST THING TO SAY MEME


Sometimes the hardest things to say are also the most important. It doesn't matter how much it scares you to do so, it's finally time to be honest.

- post as your character.
- others go to RNG and roll numbers 1-22 then respond setting up a scenario.
- respond and have fun!

01. I DON'T LOVE YOU ANYMORE Unfortunately, you can't keep lying to your partner/friend/family anymore. You just don't feel the same for them anymore.
02. I WOULD KILL YOU The person who means so much to you has done something completely unforgivable and now it's time to make sure they know where they stand. You would kill them if you ever got the chance.
03. I LOVE YOU, BUT... A bittersweet love confession. You know you love this person more than anything, but you're not sure you can give them what they need.
04. I DON'T TRUST YOU No matter how you feel about this person, you really can't trust them anymore.
05. SACRIFICE You're going to sacrifice yourself, for the person you're talking with or for the good of all humanity. You want them to know the reasons and that there's no stopping you.
06. TROUBLE You're in trouble and you might not make it through. You need to let at least one person know how you feel before it's too late though.
07. CRIME CONFESSION You did something you weren't proud of and now it's time to admit it.
08. DEMONS We've all got our demons and we've all got our own personal nightmares we have to face, but this time? You can't hold it all back.
09. I'M PREGNANT... Now's not the best time for it maybe or maybe you're just nervous how your partner will react, but they need to hear it.
10. BETRAYAL You've betrayed this person and you have to tell them the truth, no more running from it
11. CHEATED You've been unfaithful and it's time to tell your lover.
12. BROKEN That's it. You've had it. You are entirely broken and tired of everything.
13. AFRAID Something has you deathly afraid and you need to talk about it.
14. HELP ME You need someone to help you, bad. You can't do it alone anymore, you've tried.
15. I'M SORRY You said something or did something horrible and now it's time to ask for forgiveness.
16. YOU WERE A MISTAKE Sorry, but whoever you're talking to was the biggest mistake of your life or maybe it was just something you did together.
17. NOT WHO I SAY I AM You're so far from who they think you are, you need to finally tell the truth.
18. LET'S RUN AWAY You want to just get out, leave everything behind and be with this one person for the rest of your life.
19. ASHAMED Either you're ashamed of something they have done or something you did, either way you need to bring it up.
20. CAN'T REMEMBER The person standing in front of you looks so happy to see you, so relieved, but how do you tell them you can't remember a thing about them?
21. HOW COULD YOU You don't understand how they could treat you like they have, do what they have done when you've done nothing but be good to them.
22. YOUR CHOICE Either choose an option from above, mix and match, or make up your own idea.

yep. totally stolen from memebells.
frolic with your subject lines and be free!

[He glances around the room. Thinks about the state of the rest of the apartment.]

I think the cleanest parts of this house is where we sleep honestly.

[ Curious indeed. ]

Is it, now?

[ He should probably be more concerned than he is, but not much worries him. It's a little difficult to worry a vampire, after all. Not to say he isn't on guard, even if he doesn't appear to be. ]
bstride: (Grin)

[personal profile] bstride 2011-12-25 11:38 am (UTC)(link)
Sad, but probably true. I guess the knowledge that you're in the cleanest area of the apartment when your closet attempts to engage you in a strife is of some comfort.

Yeah, I know. My friends are all assholes and I don't exactly work for Cupcakes and Fluffy Bunnies Inc.

[He shrugs, like what he does is only slightly unethical. As opposed to, you know, completely and utterly morally bankrupt. Whatever. He stopped caring years ago.]

Doesn't change the fact that you're a dick.

[wh... at. Reno pulls a face, he doesn't like dealing in philosophical questions and hypotheticals. He's all about real, tangible facts - things he can see and touch and do outside of his thoughts or some conversation.]

Are you sure you don't want Tseng for that, boss? [It's a joke, of course. He knows Rufus doesn't make mistakes (and even on the rare occasion he does, he still doesn't,) and Rufus knows the four of them well enough to know the kind of conversation he'd get from each.

He didn't ask Reno because he forgot he's not generally a theoretical thinker.]
Depends on the enemy. If we're talking more than just ideology though... It's really just a matter of morals and ethics in the end, isn't it?

[The subtle, physical indication of distance is enough to make Utena's hand fall to her side. She won't be reaching out again for a while.]

I'd like that. [The Duels loom in the back of her mind, the reminder of her promise, but she can spare some time for Mami. She wants to spend time with Mami, and that's the problem.

She follows Mami inside the apartment, and even her customary stretching has stopped for now. Every motion she makes is subdued, diminished.]
How...[How have you been? she thinks to ask, but it's a question she knows the answer to already.] How have you been holding up?

[It makes sense that Mami would have heard the announcement - everyone did. And Utena wonders if she's the only one of Mami's friends who will be leaving. She imagines that would be easier, but she doubts it.]

Despite how late it was, Souji had managed to forget to eat dinner. What point was there to cooking something if he was the only one there to eat? Yosuke seemed all too eager to simply drop off the food and go, and for a long moment Souji waged a mental war with himself. Should he let his friend leave with a simple nod and a thank you for thinking of him? Or should he invite him in to share, possibly even to share more than just the food Yosuke had brought?

Souji stood there, staring, for a long moment. It was probably unnerving. Yosuke was rambling and making a face and Souji knew that he wouldn't be good company, he knew that even if he invited Yosuke in, he was probably not going to enjoy himself one bit. They hadn't hung out alone in so long - months - and a lot had changed.

Souji found himself staring at the floor, gaze having slowly dropped from Yosuke's face.

"I don't mind you staying," he said eventually. "But... if you want to go..." He'd let him go.

[In contrast, Utena is bristling with an angry, pent-up energy. The offer the Queen had made is so terrible that she can scarcely comprehend it. It's nothing more than a cruel, sadistic joke. She'd known the Queen was selfish, perhaps a little mad, but not this awful.

There is a part of her that knows why Mami is bringing up this topic, but she refuses to acknowledge it, won't do so until the message becomes crystal clear.]


I heard about it. It's awful...why would she offer something like that?
bstride: (What)

I apologize for this situation in advance

[personal profile] bstride 2011-12-25 06:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[You clench your teeth until your jaw grows sore because dammit, you just can't say it. It's too embarrassing. Hell, it shouldn't even be possible. You can't even save face with your usual ironic bullshit and long-winded metaphors because you're pretty sure your life has just been ruined.

So you don't say anything. You just whip out the positive pregnancy test and shove it under English's nose.]

That's what's up.

[Utena's bottled rage is hardly lost on her; for one so perceptive, it's as blatant as a slap across the face. But Mami understands - why Utena feels that way, what her reaction will be when she's faced with Mami's choice.

This, too, Mami has accepted. She won't change her mind no matter how much Utena yells....or cries.]


I have an idea why. [She cants her head to the side, gold curls swaying with the movement, and smiles at Utena.] Would you like to hear it?
revolutionized: (pic#1086256)

thanks for ruining it for me forever LMAO

[personal profile] revolutionized 2011-12-25 07:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[Utena frowns, more perplexed than usual at Mami's behavior, but she nods.]

What is it?
headedforhope: (you were on my side)

merry christmas!!

This whole time, the Queen has been encouraging us to develop feelings for each other, right? She thought that if she brought enough of us here, and tweaked the circumstances, everyone would find their special person. No one would have to be alone.

[A pause as she thinks back, reflects on her long time spent in the Gardens and how it's changed her. Slowly, with great difficulty and pain, but worth it in the end.]

I think that's what this is - a test of love. The question of just how far one is willing to go for the sake of the person they care about the most.

[Utena worries her bottom lip; her jaw tightens.] But...but it's cruel. In the end, one person is going to be without their special person. What's the point of all of this?

[She sweeps her hand in a grand gesture, to indicate the whole of the Gardens.] She takes us away from home, and dumps us here. And then, when we do what she wants...she takes that away too!
promisekept: (and i'd get him to swap our places)

[personal profile] promisekept 2011-12-25 07:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Right.

[What's he supposed to say to that? It's not like he's going to argue that he's a wonderful person. For one thing, he doesn't think that's true. For another, what would be the point? He already knew Reno felt that way. He's not going to try to change his mind, and he doesn't care to try.] Didn't say it did.

[He's just going to stick taciturn sarcasm.]

Now I know. [This is seeming somewhat personal on Reno's part, but Cloud doesn't expect the Turks to be professional, so why should he be surprised?]

[Fuu immediately uses it to tie her hair back before removing her glasses.]

I need to make myself look different. Maybe we should switch jackets, too. Even if it's only a few details, it will still make me harder to recognize.

[She looks up again, even though the view is much more blurry.] Then maybe we can get to Tokyo Tower.

It wouldn't be a real test if the choices were easy, Utena-san; it'd be meaningless. Besides.....when people return home, they forget about their experiences here. They won't even be aware of their loss.

[A nod of concession, all the same.] Perhaps for some, but others are content to stay here. They don't need to make that particular sacrifice.

[She thinks of Sayaka and Kyouko, both already dead like her and with no reason to leave.]

And others still are willing to take the Queen up on her offer.

What if they end up here again? It's happened before, you know. It happened to me. Who's to say she won't do the same thing all over?

[She's quiet for a moment, angry, and then slowly, comprehension dawns. It shows on her face, blue eyes widening in shocked, disbelieving horror.] You're want to do it, don't you? You want to take the offer.
headedforhope: (it's just a matter of when.)

[personal profile] headedforhope 2011-12-25 08:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[The silence stretches for an uncomfortable moment. Then Mami's shoulders heave in a small, tired shrug and she gestures to the living room table - an invitation for Utena to take a seat, delivered without meeting her gaze.] About as well as I always do, I suppose.

[Then she turns on her heels and ducks into the kitchen, disappearing from sight.]

[She lets the first question go unanswered; there's no point, it can't be argued. It's mere semantics for her, now, to be honest. If the Queen does this all over again, she'll sacrifice herself a second time. Or a third, a fourth - endlessly, for Utena's sake.

Mami remains calm as she meets that stare of horror, the serenity genuine rather than a thin veneer over something cold and unnatural and calloused. It's not defeat, the broken acceptance of the weary. The look on her own face in response to the disbelieving question is content, at peace with herself and her choice.

The expression is answer enough.]

You can't. [The words are nearly choked out; her composure is already unraveling and falling apart at the seams.] You can't do that, not for me. Not for anyone. You can't.
