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?

Life sucks and then you die. Or not.

I really want to not piss you off, you have more control than you think.

[magnetic_magpie]

Doesn't seem like it from this end.

[eternaliyah]

[He laughs ruefully.]

Well, now you've got me in a corner. There's not a thing I can say to reassure you that you won't take as a threat.

[magnetic_magpie]

Poor you.

[eternaliyah]

You're just too crafty for me.

[Woe-is-me back of the hand to the forehead.]

[magnetic_magpie]

[He gently pushes him. Even if he falls, the hammock is behind him.]

[eternaliyah]

[He remembers it's there, and lets Magneto push him.]

[magnetic_magpie]

[He laughs, the hammock swaying a bit. It's one of the really nice handworked Mayan ones.]

[eternaliyah]

[He doesn't say 'wheee,' though he's tempted for a second. He grins and gets comfortable.]

[magnetic_magpie]

Now you see why I keep a supply of those.

[eternaliyah]

You're a man of excellent taste.

[magnetic_magpie]

Or course I am.

[eternaliyah]

Naturally.

[magnetic_magpie]

[He settles into the hammock next to Daniel, even laying in it width-wise, his feet barely sticks out, but it's enough to kick them to sway.]

[eternaliyah]

[curls on him a little bit]

[magnetic_magpie]

[He'll allow that. Even pet Daniel's shoulder a little.]

[eternaliyah]

Hold me.

[magnetic_magpie]

[He shifts enough to wrap his arm around Daniel, his chin against Daniel's hair.]

[eternaliyah]

[Yes. That's nice.]

...I don't know how I'm supposed to deal with this.

[magnetic_magpie]

[He kicks them to continue to sway gently.]

Neither do I.

[eternaliyah]

This is all slow baby steps. We don't even know how - maybe I should just - rip the bandaid off. Say something big and awful and see if we can power through this.

[But he's scared.]

[magnetic_magpie]

Keep people on it. See what can be found out.

[So is he. Of being trapped, of being used, of losing the only place that sort of, some times, feels safe.]

[eternaliyah]

They are.

Tell me what I can do to make this better.

[magnetic_magpie]

I don't know. There's nothing you can say to make me feel more safe. I don't want you here, but I don't want to be alone.

[eternaliyah]

[Nuzzles into his chest and sings a rough, half-muffled old lullabye. Because of reasons.]
