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?

[Just. Clings to him, shaking a little. In anger, in self-loathing, in fear - though more of what this will do to both of them than of Magneto himself.]

Shhhh. Don't be angry.

[magnetic_magpie]

[The sound he makes is almost inhuman, something too primal. It's not anger, because he can't be, but frustration isn't anger, and he lashes out, trying to kick, hit, grab flesh and tear it with his nails, even bite. He doesn't, in fact, realize he's crying over emotional overload.]

[eternaliyah]

[Daniel shudders and doesn't let go, can't let go. His face flinches away but is never out of range.]

Shhh, it's alright.

[Nonsense and lies. That doesn't matter either.]

[magnetic_magpie]

No it's not.

[More words growled, elbows trying to land against Daniel's chest.]

Letmegoletmegoletmego!

[eternaliyah]

I know.

[Choked out.]

Stop fighting me.

[magnetic_magpie]

[He can't be angry and how he can't fight, and while Daniel had prevented him from being as afraid, it's still there, so much worse than earlier, and just still not there in in the amount it normally would be.]

I hate you.

[And it's duel purpose, because right now he does and he wants to hurt Daniel, to make him bleed and cry and hurt.]

[eternaliyah]

I know.

[He's bleeding a little, here and there, voice cracking a little, and he tucks his face against Magneto's neck. Just. Hiding.]

Hold me anyway.

[magnetic_magpie]

[He's not bleeding enough.]

I don't want to.

[But he has to.]

Let me go.

[It's pleading. And doesn't have anything to do with physical contact.]

[eternaliyah]

[hissed]

Stop asking me that.

[Because he can't. He's too deep in it now. If the he can't keep it up until the curse is broken, then all of this suffering was for nothing. The only way out is through.]

[magnetic_magpie]

But I want to go.

[Broken or not, the curse this point has done lasting damage. He doesn't feel safe even if he believe Daniel believe he is and has made him believe that too, doesn't want to be here, doesn't want to be touch much less want to be holding someone else. But if he were released on the general public right now, there would be nothing but slaughter and he'd kill anyone who even remotely got close enough to tell him to stop.]

[eternaliyah]

I know you do. I'm so sorry.

[He hates this so much. He's willing to be the bad guy, he really is, but not to his, that's not how it's supposed to work. And, fuck, he can't take care of Magneto if he's this fucked up but he can't let himself take care of him anyway, that's half the problem - Daniel just. Breathes.]

[magnetic_magpie]

I don't care.

I'll stay. I won't move. I just don't want to be touched.

[He's begging, he knows he's begging, and he hates everyone and everything all the more for it]

[eternaliyah]

Okay.

[He lets go, hides his face in his own hands for a second - but no, that's not what matters.]

You can go hide in the wall for a while.

[magnetic_magpie]

[It's immediate, the instant the order is given to move, before a time is even set, he's moving, retreating into the hollow, pulled up and wrapped around himself, and for the first time since Daniel has shown up, covered, wrapped inside his cape, cocooned in it, soles of his boots on the ground uncovered and enough of his face to breathe without showing much at all.]

[eternaliyah]

[Daniel closes his eyes and curls up too, then simply waits, perfectly still.]

[magnetic_magpie]

[Magneto stays very still, ignoring Daniel, breathing slowly, trying to relax.]

[eternaliyah]

[He doesn't look any different, but somehow, he almost fades into the stone.]

[magnetic_magpie]

[He stays there, not really moving. He considers shutting off nerves so he cannot see or hear but that frightens him too much, more than the 'No' the curse supplies as then Daniel couldn't given him orders.]

[eternaliyah]

[He intends to wait for Magneto - but that's more cowardice, really. Maybe, almost certainly, he isn't ready; according to the curse, all the better.]

Come out now.

[magnetic_magpie]

[He's not ready, and tenses. The only disobedience he can show is doing so slowly.]

[eternaliyah]

[That's acceptable.]

...I'm not giving up on you. No matter how bad this gets.

[magnetic_magpie]

Bully for you.

[Flatly.]

[eternaliyah]

If it were me, under the spell. What would you tell me?

[magnetic_magpie]

I don't know.

[And he doesn't. There are a lot of horrible things he can think of, but he doesn't know if he could order them.]

[eternaliyah]

I used to wonder where you were, after you left. I'd want to hear about you but I wouldn't, too.

[Because usually it was bad, one way or another.]
