meme | #002 -- absolute obedience ( do you do you want to )
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? |

[His grin only widens a little at the pun, and the teasing riiiiiight~? of encouragement, though unspoken, is implied readily enough in his arched eyebrows and the playful gleam in his eyes. Even if this is unnatural, this is actually kind of fun.....
.......Wait.......
This is fun. He's enjoying himself. Chatting with Riku like this, dancing around these seemingly arbitrary mental barriers he's found imposed on himself--it's an interesting challenge, he's actually starting to like it. Past the confusion and concern. it--it feels....... good.......? He feels good.
What the hell is going on, here?]
no subject
Riku laughs, and it's not mirthful or bitter. he tilts his head down and shakes his head slightly. ]
Yeah, well, you never know.
no subject
Yeah, hard to say. I guess there's always the possibility your little lady friend is a shield too, but I'm not so sure about that one..... After all, there's no point in one shield protecting another.
no subject
Riku realizes that when Axel stops walking and he starts quickly backing up again. ]
Like I said before, you'd be surprised.
[ after all, Kairi had been willing to protect Sora... Riku was a blatant shield, but that didn't count Kairi out. ]
What would that make you?
no subject
[Axel follows, though not very quickly; the pursuit is lazy, almost like..... almost like he just wants to get closer, and doesn't care about actually catching or cornering him at all.]
Me? I don't know..... I'd say I'm a spark. Maybe not very impressive to a big shield like you, but I'm curious anyway. What do you think I am?
no subject
[ his voice is cool, but distinctly sharp--a dagger could mean so many things, but it's usually used for killing. stabbing.
sometimes in the back. ]
Pretty fitting, I'd say.
no subject
A sardonically pleased smile lights up his face, and his eyes gleam as he angles closer, pressing to close the distance and see just what he can figure out from the almost inevitable rebuff. After all, just because he doesn't want to be one doesn't mean that he can or should deny what he's done.]
Not bad! I guess it's fitting enough, I'll take it.
no subject
[ but when put into perspective, Riku can see him as a spark, too. after all, you could call Castle Oblivion a stack of dry paper, and Axel was the combustion that set it all ablaze. ]
Maybe a flint dagger. You still have a spark.
no subject
[Axel moves to carelessly drape an arm over Riku's shoulders, evidently feeling a little companionable in the midst of their friendly banter; weighing the sensations against the distance, he's certain beyond a doubt now that something is making him more comfortable the closer he gets.]
no subject
geez, he's too close. but he's sort of warm. ]
You sound surprised.
no subject
What's the matter? You keep saying I would be surprised, I should be surprised--shouldn't that be what you want?
no subject
I've avoided you guys for a while, no one would be able to do that without being smart--and what are you doing with my hair.
[ with such a weight on his shoulders, Riku doesn't feel like he can move, but he can't just shove Axel off of him when he's exhibiting such weird signs... ]
no subject
[The offered explanation is nonchalant, almost playfully innocent, but Axel makes no effort to stop.]
There are different kinds of smart, you know. Coming up with a knife like that is creative, but hiding takes being sneaky.
no subject
... stop, you're going to make my hair get split ends.
[ oh, excuse him, that sounded way less girlish in his head. ]
no subject
[Axel laughs quietly, almost fondly, but he obligingly stops the petting; his fingers fall still and curl loosely against Riku's neck instead, still buried in his hair.]
no subject
What's with you? Tell me what's wrong with you.
no subject
What, so now it's wrong for me to do what you say? I thought you'd be happy I'm feeling so generous today.
no subject
You're not [ feeling anything, he wants to say, but he can't. because that looks like happiness on his face, and while Riku has absolutely no clue how that's happening, he knows that it's not fake. but, suddenly, his commands and Axel's reactions to those commands make more sense. ]
... why are you doing what I say? I want to know.
no subject
[Axel might seem miffed at Riku's lack of faith in him, if he wasn't being so playful; he cozies up against Riku without hesitation now, humming in obvious satisfaction as he traces a finger along Riku's collarbone.]
Besides, sometimes it just feels good to do a guy a favor, even when it isn't expected, you know? Maybe especially when it isn't expected.
no subject
Are you doing all this without an ulterior motive? Tell the truth.
no subject
Right on. Just what else could I hope to gain from this, anyway?
no subject
[ god, what is going on? he can't get anything out of Axel without starting another reaction. ]
... motive.
no subject
[Obviously, sprinkling voluntary actions in the midst of ones he feels compelled to do is the best way to go about doing this--just a little more of a leg up on keeping him confused and off-balanced. He's even starting to think this isn't so bad after all, so long as Riku doesn't catch wise and start trying to force him to do things he'd really rather not--after all, he's feeling shockingly good right now, the best he can remember since..... well, since he was able to feel things like this.]
no subject
[ and it's distracting because Axel's gloves have cold water clinging to them, but his body seems too heated, and it's a mesh of temperature confusion that makes Riku's body react all too readily. ]
