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?

[In the last few seconds, quietly]

If I give any order that is actually intolerable to you, I command you to say so before carrying it out.

[magnetic_magpie]

Enjoying how you are getting to phrase things aren't you?

[Mild but cranky. Seriously. 'Command'?]

[eternaliyah]

[mildly]

I didn't want to take any chances with that one.

[magnetic_magpie]

Really now?

[eternaliyah]

Yes.

And saying 'order' twice in the same sentence felt awkward.

[magnetic_magpie]

Oh of course.

[Shutting up and drinking his coffee then, because he's can't be pissy.]

[eternaliyah]

Tell me why you come back here.

[So softly. Kind of terrified of pissing him off but - he wants to know.]

[magnetic_magpie]

I'm not safe here. But safer than anywhere else.

[Quietly. Because fuck you.]

[eternaliyah]

[And Daniel is just going to smile and wibble and hug you now, because - that's as much as he knows to hope for, for anyone.]

[magnetic_magpie]

[Why do you have to touch him. Ugh fine. It feels too good to shove Daniel off.]

[eternaliyah]

[Tempted to make him stand still and take it, but - okay, okay, Magneto can push him away now.]

...I'm glad you feel that way.

[magnetic_magpie]

[He squirms away, enjoying having his space.]

Why? My being here puts you at risk.

[eternaliyah]

Because you're still one of mine.

And that's what I'm for.

[magnetic_magpie]

You don't make sense.

[Because what?]

[eternaliyah]

Don't I?

[magnetic_magpie]

No.

[He's not complaining, he's not explaining, but no, Daniel doesn't.]

[eternaliyah]

I'm only sort of a person, you know.

I'm. A home. That's all I ever - it's why I exist.

So, yes, security, and yes, you put me at risk. But security doesn't come before the reason for security. Which is - you. All of you. And you no less than anyone else.

[magnetic_magpie]

[Just watching. Wary. Because no, he does not believe that. And the part of him that wants to he beats into submission and shuts up.]

[eternaliyah]

I mean, you no more than everyone else either, but.

I'm still glad.

[magnetic_magpie]

[Still so doesn't believe you.]

[eternaliyah]

[TIME FOR MORE MOMMING.]

Make me some scissors and sit. I'm giving you that haircut.

[magnetic_magpie]

I like my hair long.

[It's not the making scissors he objects to - he does that easily, and hands them over. But he likes it long.]

[eternaliyah]

Yes, it's very pretty. But it's also uneven, and you have split ends. Is just a trim okay?

[magnetic_magpie]

I do not have split ends.

[Yes, he is actually pouting about that. But fine yes.]

[eternaliyah]

Of course not, dear.

Now sit, you're ridiculously tall.
