meme | #002 -- absolute obedience ( do you do you want to )

[the]

the ABSOLUTE OBEDIENCE MEME 1. Post with your character. 2. That character is compelled to follow the orders of anyone who replies. 3. Any orders. 4. Any orders. Meme Strategy: There's nothing in the rules about whether or not your character knows s/he must obey - as well, the other character might not know that s/he must be obeyed. Play it however you like. Don't like the orders you got? Not willing to have your character follow them, even if you've had a good time up to this point? Talk to the other player, use OOC notes or PMs, try and work it out. Got some stuff you'd never want to play out? Consider making a preferences post and linking to it when you reply here. Wanna give orders that people would love to follow? Give em context. Make it a story. Is this about revenge? Working out some personal issues? Too dumb to realize that the other guy has to do whatever your guy says?

Go commit a crime so I can solve it.

[bethecoolkid]

What kind of crime?

[the_new_sexy]

Don't care. Just make sure you're not obvious about it.

[bethecoolkid]

[He's just going to stand there and not do anything, then. Because his mere presence is a crime, because he's just so awesome.]

[the_new_sexy]

[stares at]

[continues to stare]

You've already committed some sort of a crime, I imagine, then?

[bethecoolkid]

[Shrug.]

[the_new_sexy]

[Cue analyzing face]

No. There's something else. Something you can't avoid, because you're not trying to hide anything.

[bethecoolkid]

[That gets you a nice, blank look from Mr. Insufferable Prick over here.]

[But please continue, he's actually intrigued. Not that he'd ever admit it.]

[doghood]

[ Jade's busy tending the carrots and snap peas... well she could try to teleport the weeds away, but what's the fun in that! ]

Hey cool guy! Would you mind getting me a drink, this is hard work!

[bethecoolkid]

[Of course! Because all the fun happens outdoors tending to weird gardens of stuff that really isn't necessary seeing as she has all those magic powers. God forbid she make things easy on him. And here he is, risking his cool factor to help her garden, only agreeing to these terms because they are terribly ironic and therefore okay.]

[So he shrugs and goes and gets her a drink, coming back out with a can of Faygo.]

[doghood]

Ehehe, thanks! It's like I'm really on butler island...

[ vegetables are cool too, gosh Dave. she pops open the can, but maybe John shook all the sodas in the house for a prank or something because it immediately overflows over her cupped hands ]

Oh nooooo Dave help!

[bethecoolkid]

Jegus, Jade!

[And...yeah, okay, that was probably all John, and part of Dave actually finds it kind of hilarious (not that he'd actually laugh), but the whole 'Dave help!' command? Kiiiiind of open ended...like, seriously Jade. What's that supposed to mean? Help me clean off my hands? Help me stop this from exploding? Help me drink all this Faygo? You gotta help a brother out here.]

[Oh well, too late. He kind of takes the can from her and chucks it somewhere else, where it can sputter and die off in a carbonated last-ditch effort for more laughs before spilling the rest of it's faygo life juice wherever it was Dave just threw it to.]

[But now Jade's without a drink. Again.]

I'll go get another one...

[doghood]

[ yeah, it was kind of a crappy command, but she doesn't actually know that the obeying status effect is even a thing yet. it is a little weird how Dave suddenly hurled the soda from her like it was some kind of venomous snake, though! and a little funny, but her concerns are elsewhere as she searches her pockets ]

No, I meant, the plants! They'll get sticky! I need a napkin or something...

[bethecoolkid]

[That's alright, Dave. You were totally wrong. But as long as you play it off like the cool kid you are, no one will notice. And now it a perfect chance to be ironic.]

Here.

[And suddenly he has his shirt stripped off without a single hair on his head misplaced. Yup. He's just that cool. And then he hands the shirt to Jade.]

I don't feel like going back inside and getting napkins, just use this.

[doghood]

[ ... okay she just stares at it for a moment but takes it anyway. your cool kid shenanigans sure are weird! ]

Ummmm... it'll probably get dirty, are you sure?

[ but she's already starting to wipe the leaves of the peas anyway, almost without realizing it ]

[bethecoolkid]

[He shrugs again. At least he still has his pockets to put his hands in and slouch in the coolest manner possible!]

I have others.

[ineuphony]

So tell me about yourself.

[bethecoolkid]

[You get a shrug as he slides his hands into his pockets.]

Name's Dave Strider, and I'm basically the coolest dude with the sickest beats you'll ever meet in your excuse of a lifetime. I've got hella great artistic skills and am second in the race to own all things ironic, with the crown king of irony being my Bro.

That work?

[ineuphony]

Coolest dude? -- You seem pretty ordinary to me.

[bethecoolkid]

My levels of awesome can only be seen by a very particular coolness radar that very few people possess. But it's also an aspect of just how cool I am that I can disguise myself with normality so as to not throw off the balance of the universe, because the last thing we need is my levels of awesome tipping the universal scale and causing some disastrous outbreak of uncoolness. We've got enough of that already, and I seem normal.

[ineuphony]

Well, then it's an honor to meet you, if that's the case.

[bethecoolkid]

[He nods, because really, it pretty much is.]

What about you?

[ineuphony]

I'm Maka Albarn and I'm a Scythe Meister.

[bethecoolkid]

Scythe Meister? What is that, some kind of Death Cult?
