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?

[ Riku never turns and smiles. nor does he say 'cheese'. but that's exactly what he's doing--turning and looking over his shoulder with a sincere smile. ]

Cheese!

[key_dreams]

[Ktch goes the camera shutter, but the photo ends up hanging from the camera...

He wasn't expecting that.]

...Riku...

[Roxas lowers the camera slowly, looking aghast.]

...Riku, I think we need to get you to a hospital. [Obviously he must be hallucinating or something to bring that about.]

[curepotion]

[ ...

...

yeah, give him a minute. he pulls back, straightening, rubbing his cheeks like they were twitching and spazzing. ]

I'm fine.

[ he pulls his cheek a little. ]

I don't know what happened.

[key_dreams]

You smiled...AND said cheese! [Whoa, this is better than gathering proof that it's impossible.]

This can't be right. Unless... [He points to himself.] Who do you see right now?

[curepotion]

Roxas. [ >:T ]

I can smile around you, you know. You just don't make it happen a lot.

[key_dreams]

[If he had a drink right now, there would be a long and drawn out sip inserted here.]

...Uh-huh. [Just going to take the photo and examine it for a second.] Okay, then smile again.

[curepotion]

[ his frown stays on his face, but at the command, there goes his soft smile, eyes crinkling at the edges, the sign of true joy. ]

[key_dreams]

[Oh goodness, Roxas cannot even-- HE DOES NOT BELIEVE IN THAT JOY.]

Alright, stop, I get it. You're really good at acting. [Back to examining the picture because he's nothing but confused at the moment.] Man, I guess this doesn't count as black mail anymore, would it?

[Not that he would use it as blackmail. Well, maybe he would if Sora found it interesting.]

[curepotion]

[ ... he goes back to rubbing his cheeks, looking quizzical. ]

I'm not good-- [ suddenly, glare. ] So that's what you were doing.

[key_dreams]

[He feigns a grin as he rubs the back of his neck.] Doing what...?

[Quick, subject change!] But seriously, Riku, you only have that kind of look on with Sora and Kairi. You sure you're not acting?

[curepotion]

[ flat look. don't try to be innocent with him, Roxas. ]

I already told you, I could smile around you like that if you gave me the reason to. I'm not acting. Something's just... making it happen.

[key_dreams]

Hah, I knew it wasn't real. [Victory dance will be later.] But if you're not doing it on purpose...Then maybe you're cursed.

[Gestures to the camera.] Didn't think Pence's camera was magic. He's been holding out on me.

[curepotion]

I don't think it's Pence's camera. And curses don't exist, Roxas, that's kid stuff.

[key_dreams]

Aw, c'mon. Curses are definitely real, and I bet you're just afraid of smiling more.

[He lifts the camera again:] Now say cheese.

[curepotion]

Cheese.

[ flatly. given his previous forced smiles, he's still a little surprised when that comes out, but less. ]

[key_dreams]

Guess I jinxed it... [He studies it again (there could be a secret technique to it for all he knows) then looks back at Riku.]

Hey, tell me one thing you would never ever do. [A pause.] I mean, something normal. Not like hurt the King or whatever.

[curepotion]

Write in a book. [ he tries to fight off the wtf with adding; ] Why?

[key_dreams]

Just checking one something. [Because he would've assumed that Riku wouldn't be willing to give away even that kind of detail so easily.

...Oh, he's starting to see the possibilities.]

So how much do you want to bet that curses don't exist?

[curepotion]

[ he's starting to wonder if it's an Ansem thing, but he doesn't. he's just... going to stay calm for now. ]

30 munny.

[key_dreams]

[...The most devious smirk begins to spread across his face and then it shifts into a grin once he's done calculating.]

Raise it to the price of two sea-salt ice creams...Then smile.

1/3

[curepotion]

[ why would he do that, Roxas. he's not-- ]

Fine, 50 munny.

2/3

[curepotion]

3/3

[curepotion]

[ ... ... ... ]

What did you do to me.

[key_dreams]

Something that doesn't exist, apparently.

[THIS IS THE SMILE OF TRIUMPH.]

By the way, you owe me.

[curepotion]

[ NOPE. THIS ISN'T HAPPENING. ]

What did you do. Now.
