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?

Oh.

Well.

Goodness gracious.

[magnetic_magpie]

So. Go. Away.

[How he can be that calm and still have that tone frightens him.]

[eternaliyah]

[Arms folded. Voice prim.]

Stop being angry with me for things that aren't my fault.

[magnetic_magpie]

[He wants to lash out. It's almost an ache and he can't. He's calm and hates it.]

Then stop making things worse and leave. Stop that.

[eternaliyah]

...feel however you would naturally, but keep being honest with me.

Is that better?

[magnetic_magpie]

[He flushes in anger, body tense, absolutely ready to fly off the handle but is able to and that calms him down.]

Stop that.

[eternaliyah]

Please, you know I'm not that noble.

[magnetic_magpie]

Why won't you just leave?

[He's bristling, torn between pulling away, back towards his camp where he has a weapon handy and leaving but knows there's no where else to really go.]

[eternaliyah]

Because I expect to be dealing with you for a long, long time, and you're a very difficult person. Certain opportunities are not to be missed.

[magnetic_magpie]

Keep pushing it and you won't. Your choice.

[eternaliyah]

[he shrugs]

I figured the least I could do was be honest with you back.

I don't plan on pushing. Much.

[magnetic_magpie]

I think we have very different definitions.

[He wants to pace, to move, to do something, but doesn't. Doesn't want to give Daniel anything that even hints at an opening, or a chance to get closer. Trust is, right now, at an extremely low level.]

[eternaliyah]

You could tell me yours.

[Phrased, quite deliberately, as a statement.]

[magnetic_magpie]

[His lips curl, teeth bared.]

Do you pick up drunk boys in bars?

[eternaliyah]

[WHY DO YOU AMUSE HIM SO MUCH WHEN YOU'RE PISSY IT'S TERRIBLE]

Rarely.

[He's not going to laugh, okay, he's totally not.]

[magnetic_magpie]

[He actually growls, shoving passed Daniel, to stalk away. His camp is still standing, so for now, at least, he's planning on returning. He's still stalking out into the sun without a packet of water.]

[eternaliyah]

[Firmly.]

Take water. Enough for however long you'll be out.

[When he turns around to obey, Daniel is gone. He'll let Magneto tromp around a bit and cool off. Metaphorically, anyway.]

[magnetic_magpie]

[He whirls, but snatches enough water, all angry moments, rage contained. He's furious, slow to calm simply because it's stay with Daniel taking advantage, however slight he deems it, but otherwise being safe or fleeing, and Antarctica is the only other option and Doom knows he seeks refuge there, and there's not safety there from an invading force. He feels pinned and jumpy, resting when he's tired only to start expecting Daniel to show up.

By the time he has finally calmed enough to realize he's hungry, to rip into one of the packages of food, the neat, orderly little camp looks hit by a whirlwind, scuff marks from boots marring stone.]

[eternaliyah]

[Don't mind me, just neatening up your stuff. Because I'm your mom. Derp.]

Do you think it's temporary?

[magnetic_magpie]

[Good luck getting the dents out.]

I have no idea.

[eternaliyah]

If you gave me details, I could try to do some research for you.

[magnetic_magpie]

Know many Romani who will share secrets?

[eternaliyah]

You're more practical than she is.

If you meet anyone other than me before this is over, prevent them from speaking to you.

[magnetic_magpie]

Well then.

[And just glaring.]

Oh I will.

[eternaliyah]

Just making sure.
