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?

Hello, pet.

Horrid. This is going to be horrid.

[showmeyourwreath]

_[:|]

Flora. My name is Flora.

beautiful you mean

[aleaiacta_est]

[ He leans down enough to be at her height, then smiles. ]

Ah, so it is! Though you really should loosen up...~ It's bad for your health, if you're so uptight all the time.

That, too. Augh, feeling the sting of limited icons already. Crai.

[showmeyourwreath]

I only ever seem to be "uptight", as you've put it, when you you call me things like that.

/pats

[aleaiacta_est]

Like what, darling? You can't say it bothers you so much. You seemed to enjoy it the first time we met....

[showmeyourwreath]

There was some kind of magic at work, then. That wasn't my choice. So yes, I can say that it does.

[aleaiacta_est]

[ He straightens then, and grins for a beat. He'll play a little more before starting other means to his methods. ]

So unhappy~ You should try to enjoy it at least. Go on; be congenial with me, Flora. Perhaps you'll be surprised and end up gaining more wisdom for your ways.

All Aboard~! Horrible train is leaving the station.

[showmeyourwreath]

_{[She sighs deeply, like only someone who's been made to come to terms with something can.]}

You might be onto something, there. I don't really like being irritated all the time, to be honest. Too much negative energy really poisons the aura.

_{[Have a smile, Albedo. :D]}

How about we start over?

screaming, LMFAO

[aleaiacta_est]

[ And here, an eyebrow lifts, the only give of surprise. How simple that turned out to be. He's expecting subterfuge. ]

Are you offering me that freely? Perhaps I should take you up on it before you change your mind.

Ladies and Gentlemen, today's dinner will be broiled OMGLOLZ. Thank you for traveling with us.

[showmeyourwreath]

_{[So paranoid, Albedo. That's very unhealthy, you know~ :D]}

There's no expiry on the offer, but I can't say I wouldn't be happy if you didn't take me up on it. All the better if it's sooner.

It's really up to you, though. Maybe we just got on the wrong foot? It happens.

I expect her to blame this on alcohol or something later.

[aleaiacta_est]

[ ...She has to be planning something. There has to be some part in her that absorbed manipulation from their marriage time spent together. Still, if this is her move, he can only make his in turn.

So he reaches out to snag a hand and draw her closer. ]

Perhaps we did. I can't say that I mind this little change of heart. Perhaps it's a compromise.

[ He used her name and she acquiesced to his demands. Interesting, if she's playing that way. ]

More like she'll be *hitting* the alcohol, later.

[showmeyourwreath]

<sub>[Neeeeever, this is so legit. :Db

Her mouth opens a little, surprised by the move, but she doesn't seem to mind it. In fact, she's quickly smiling again.]</sub>

I'm really glad for that, then! Compromise is key to any kind of relationship. You can't have it all one way, that only leads to disaster.

_{[Yes, it's interesting. Hear that? It's the sound of mutual respect.]}

/hands her a bottle

[aleaiacta_est]

[ A beat. ]

...We could play this out but I'm curious. Tell me what you're doing.

flora's just going to use magic and make ten of those.

[showmeyourwreath]

_{[A chuckle.]}

I'm being congenial.

go at it, babe. =|

[aleaiacta_est]

[ ...Really now. Let's test this little theory, shall we? ]

Tell me your full name. On your knees.

NIGHT. HAS. BEEN. MADE. /screams also

[showmeyourwreath]

_{[screaming She kneels, with not even a moment's hesitation.]}

It's Flora [Last name goes here because canon tells us fuck all :I].

screaming is the correct response.

[aleaiacta_est]

Well, well, darling Flora. Aren't we ever so willing to bend knee and compromise before one you once locked blades with? It's almost as if you're pressed into doing so. For example, what if I say--

Go back to your normal self, love. And do try to remember all of this.

[ A smile, cheshire-esque and thin. ]

NOW WITH SLIGHTLY LESS FAIL

[showmeyourwreath]

_{[She looks up at him, confused, until it all hits her and she quickly gets to her feet. She isn't quite yelling, but her happy mask very much has shattered to reveal the anger underneath.]}

What...what did you do?!

_{[It's a question she wants an answer to, but she knows him well enough to know that he'll try to make her regret asking. She should go, she should leave. She's already making steps backward.]}

[aleaiacta_est]

[ Oh, you get laughter for that, Flora, full-throated and fully Albedo, because honestly. This situation is just too charming.

He follows her motions, a step for each of hers, and then continues up to her, a hand reaching out to cup her chin. ]

Leaving so soon? Stay with me. Let's find out how far this game goes.

/SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW LOL

[showmeyourwreath]

Believix!

<sub>[There's a flash of golden green light, and she has her wings. She opens her mouth to speak, but...nothing. Colour drains from her face. This can't be...she wills herself, tries and tries and tries again, but she can't say the second spell and can't will herself to change her wings. There's no pain, no punishment, it just isn't there. Her wings remain the same.

She remains with him.]</sub>

LOL I BET

[aleaiacta_est]

[ If only cats could grin as he does. And yet, it's far too wan a reaction for what has transpired. For somehow, along the way, he had forgotten. The wings that made her quite fantastique, now shimmering brightly before him. Eyes narrow in something too obscure to be delight, and he reaches past her to trail a finger against the edge of a wing.

His voice is low when it comes, an intimate threat if nothing else. ]

...Were you planning to leave? Such a cruel woman you are.

:3c

[showmeyourwreath]

<sub>[She draws a quick breath, flicking her wing away from his touch and shifts her face out of his reach. Flora moves away, but not in any way that counts. It's not nearly far enough, and she glares at him for it, for her helplessness, for all of this. She's angry, it's there for anyone to see, but she's afraid, as well, which isn't. Her will belongs to one that she knows who takes enjoyment in breaking them.

She's terrified.

She won't let him see it.]</sub>

I don't belong here, let me go.

[aleaiacta_est]

[ Amusement is too light a sensation. There's pleasure in the way an eyebrow raises, in violet eyes locking onto her. There's pure and simple delight. ]

Can you really say that, fée? You belong right here. Perhaps you should start acting like it.

[ A promise or a threat... Who can say? The only thing that remains obvious is that she isn't going anywhere with those words in the air. At least, until he bores of this game. ]

oh my god, this is so long, i'm so sorry. ;-;

[showmeyourwreath]

_{[She matches his stare, and she wishes he weren't. She doesn't falter, but "discomfort" does not even come close to what that look elicits; anything he so enjoys or will enjoy can't mean anything good for her.]}

I am saying it right now. I don't want to be. Not here, not with you, so let me go, Albedo.

<sub>[Of all the arrogant, deplorable...she huffs, and her wings twitch. A suggestion--hard pressed as she is to call it that, this is far from innocent--is not an order.

She'll do no such thing.

He's so changeable, that trying to read him proves to be a Herculean effort at best, circumstances that she terms very loosely.

Something consistent in his methods, however: he enjoys bothering her.

The idea of giving him what he wants in some fashion, of acquiescing is considered only for the sake of discarding it with great relish. She won't give in. If she can't leave as she is, with her options as they are, then she'll just have to create another.

This magic, though. Every time she encounters it, it's always absolute, there's never any breaking it. That she'd need to be careful goes without saying, but it was an endeavour that would be difficult to see through, especially with him.]</sub>
