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?

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.

[magnetic_magpie]

[He sits, the air under him appearing to hold him up.]

No I'm not. You're ridiculously short.

[eternaliyah]

I'm adorably tiny, so there.

[combs it out a little with his fingers so he can see how it should lie even]

[magnetic_magpie]

You're something.

[He closes his eyes, holding still, tense but hyperaware.]

[eternaliyah]

Damn straight.

[He doesn't drag it out. Snip snip snip, until the edges are neat and even. He brushes the tips of hair off Magneto's shoulders.]

There, that's much nicer.

[magnetic_magpie]

[At least Daniel is good at dealing with wavy/curly hair. He rakes his fingers through it, shaking it out.]

No mirror, so I'll take your word for it.

[eternaliyah]

Good.

[Not. Sure where to go from here. Damn.]

[magnetic_magpie]

[Neither does he so awkward times are go.]

[eternaliyah]

Uh.

Dance for my amusement?

[so unsure. and kind of sheepish.]

[magnetic_magpie]

I don't know any solo dances.

[...wow. Can't order him to do something he doesn't know. Good.]

[eternaliyah]

[he holds up his hands]

So teach me.

[magnetic_magpie]

What do you know?

[For now, decides against being an ass.]

[eternaliyah]

Mostly just folk dances. Some waltz, some swing. Uh. The twist? I haven't danced in...a while.

[magnetic_magpie]

Neither have I. Most of what I know are Romani.

[eternaliyah]

Stop stalling.
