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?

[ We'll be here until nightfall to get it just right. ]

Shall we walk? It's such a nice night out.

[ravenchaser]

Of course.

[Outwardly, he's smiling. Inwardly, he's cursing her.]

[mirakill]

[ He definitely didn't look like himself after that little transformation.

Tonight was going to be magical.

And he'd have to endure every second of it. ]

[ravenchaser]

[At least no one could recognize him.

For now, he'll walk with the calm resignation of the condemned.]

[mirakill]

[ She knows you hate it on the inside.

That is enough. ]

[ravenchaser]

[Oh, is that a puddle? Never mind that it's rather small and renders this action needlessly ostentatious— off goes the frock coat, then, and over the puddle!]

[mirakill]

[ Enjoy your puffy cravated shirt, you look like a 18th century pirate.

She's snickering now. ]

You're not permitted to take off any more.

[ravenchaser]

[Yeah. Go to hell.

He folds his arms.] Hmph.

[Fine, he won't take off anymore.

While lighting another cigarette, he was half-tempted to set the clothes on fire with a match, but thought it was better not to, even if singing the puffy, lacy and showy monstrosity would certainly be an improvement.

Well, this is boring. He's just going to keep on walking and smoking. Anyone who looks at him for longer than a second will receive a death glare.

Strolling around is nice and all, but...]

Hey. I wasn't this boring. [All the rules to make sure he doesn't weasel his way out of the clothes are impressive and all, but he's finding this revenge a little bit boring.]

1/2

[mirakill]

Ah, yes.

That's because we have different kill styles.

2/3 actually

[mirakill]

You are sated with the action. You pull the trigger and you're satisfied. The chase and mocking the prey is fun and games to you, even keeping them alive long enough to make a worthy chase is fine.

But in the end, you finish too quickly if it's on your platter and you can devour it.

Whereas, I... [ She gestures. ]

[mirakill]

Do you think it was simply fate that made it so there's an era-themed ball in the city? 'As long as the chance isn't zero percent, who is to say there wouldn't be one held today?' Ah, as well as 'There is definitely an era themed shop in the area, the chance of that isn't even close to zero percent', as well as many other pieces I have gone out of my way to set up that I'm not going to bother revealing to you.

I play, Gin. And I don't make it fast. I can stare at a bird running around the bottom of its cage trying to find the widest bar out for hours, as long as I know it's still in my control when to eat it.

I'm cruel and wicked and I will drag you through the dirt.

And you still love me, you lunatic.

[ravenchaser]

... [That doesn't mean he actually has to go to one, does it?

Well, that didn't matter.

The rest of what she says is much more interesting.]

Would you be disappointed if the bird gave up on finding an exit and decided to just wait for the inevitable? Or would that just encourage you to introduce something new into the cage? Or would you just keep on watching to see if it'll run again?

[mirakill]

Now why in the world would I tell you?

[ravenchaser]

Because I asked nicely.

[If she wants to keep it to herself, that's fine. He doesn't like it, but what can he do?

He hopes it won't take long before something interesting happens.]

[mirakill]

That never works for me when I ask you nicely.

[ravenchaser]

[Come on, don't be that way.

Even if it's true.]

Sorry to disabuse you of the notion that I play fair.

[mirakill]

Just so long as you don't have the notion that I do either.

[ravenchaser]

You don't have to worry about that.
