1. Post you character.
2. Comment to other people and pick a scenario. Or use the RNG (1-12) to pick one for you.

4. Do this as many times as you like until you're bored with it all. UNLIMITED THREADS.
5. OPTIONAL: combine a bunch of memes and scenarios for one strange thread of whacked out weirdness. Handcuffed to an escort while you have amnesia? WHY NOT?

8. Folie à deux - the more either you or the other person talks, the more you feed into this unease and the more real it sounds. what can you two alone do?
9. Replacements - is it just this person or is everyone being replaced with a fake? you're not a fake, though. you won't let them replace you.

The One Kisha Dragged In

[alethiological]

9-1, 10-5, 2-3

[digitalemperor]

[Torture. Everyone loves it. Except probably the person experiencing it but, minor details. Not so minor to Mikado, who is having another one of those Bad Days. Maybe it's just that Will is a bad omen or something, but today has kind of sucked. Mikado's been drugged, hauled around, and put through pain he hadn't imagined and now he's not even sure what's real or not.]

[Don't mind him curling up into a fetal ball and crying. Again.]

Someday they'll get a roll that isn't horrible

[alethiological]

[For the best or the worst, at least Mikado is not alone. Since said bad omen is dumped next to him, eyes closed and bleeding sluggishly from some head injury hidden in his hairline. Larger and more worrying stains match along his entire chest and down one arm, and there's probably more, but they're not too obvious. Eyes closed, barely breathing, and he doesn't even move.

Except after whoever-it-was leaves, and the two are alone again. There's a heartbeat of silence. Two. Three. And he jerks upright just as easily as ever. Or not as easily, since he's hunched a bit. Probably wasn't even unconscious in the first place. Glaring at the door, then switching to staring at Mikado. Half a minute. Then back to lying on his side with a sigh.]

Stop crying. They're not even that good at it. Four out of ten. Five for effort. Children these days, can't even torture people properly, completely disgraceful...

[The muffled rant trails off to being inaudible, yanking at his hands to try and get out of the ties. It's more annoying than anything.]

Somehow I doubt it

[digitalemperor]

[Mikado forces himself to wipe his eyes and try to sit up. But everything hurts. He didn't know he could hurt this much. It's not like he hasn't been hit a few times, but ultimately he's a pretty normal, weak person when it comes to physical things. He doesn't even like violence. When he thinks about the people who did this to him and Will... A surge of black emotions overtakes him for a moment, choking his reason and blinding eyes already swollen and red with tears and pain.]

...make them pay... [His voice is chilling, or would be to someone who wasn't like Will. There's a sense of apathetic hatred in it, a dull, angry coldness. It's the first thought to cross his mind. He didn't mean to say it aloud, but he's not even sure Will's really here. After all, Sonohara-san is right next to him.]

[He stares dully at the two--maybe they're both imaginary, or maybe they're both real. He hopes they aren't real, that would be awful. He shouldn't tell them that, but he can't seem not to.]

I hope you're not real. [His voice is tired, but at least nothing as bleak and eerie as the three words earlier. Just beaten down and hoarse.] Either of you. Then again I don't want to be alone either. I guess that's selfish of me, but I'm also very selfish. But if I'm being selfish I don't want to be here. I don't want to be tortured by a four out of ten or a two out of twenty or anything remotely like that.

[He closes his eyes because having them open hurts.] I want to complain more but then, if you're not real, it's just like talking to myself. So if I'm going to talk to myself I should probably reason a way out of this. If I think, I can escape this situation, I can find the means.

[He's silent for a second, as if listening, and he is listening, to the hallucination.] No, we have to go before they come back for you Sonohara-san. If they were able to overpower you then I don't want them to lay their hands on you either. So it's a time limit challenge.

[He's trying to sound upbeat but it's really failing.]

Come on, positive thinking!

[alethiological]

[Oddly enough, the voice does get Will to stop. Staring at him momentarily with something unreadable. It's a subtle shift, like that time he first met the kid, but it was definitely there. That type of electric warning that would send anyone unused to it into the fight-or-flight reflex.

As it stands, he lets it go. Listening on Mikado's rambling as a type of focus, because while it wasn't effective or creative, the torture was meticulous, and it's hard to move his hand when the nerves are all but shot. But ignore it, focus on the white noise. Ignoring that spike from before, he's still a normal human. Probably cracked and started talking about any little thing that crossed his mind. Refers to a Sonohara and 'either of you' beforehand, so he's hallucinating on top it. Add to file: Sonohara, still focused even though he's rambling, possibly a psychopath. The rest?

Great. And there's a huff of irritation as he finally gives up, shooting a stare at the side of his head.] Ignoring your skewed sense of reality, there's nothing wrong with talking to yourself. For some it's easier to think that way. Let's you sort out your feelings and observations so you don't go mad.

[For a moment, the words seem like something more. A type of calming presence that leaves a simple serenity. Some might coin the feeling as divine. A beat later, it's gone with the next sentence.]

If you're taking requests, you can start with something productive.

What could they even get that wouldn't be ridiculous?

[digitalemperor]

[Mikado takes a deep breath, eyes blinking open. Whatever coldness was in him before is long gone, replaced with worry and pain and a general quiet determination that's still a lot more than just a timid, normal teenager. But at the same time not so alarming. He's got a sense of purpose now, and a feeling. That presence was gentle and reassuring. And it also reminded him he has responsibilities. Will may be an adult, but Mikado still feels a sense of responsibility. And a sense of his 'enemies'. He won't hesitate in a strategy to protect those he cares for, in that case, and to eliminate the threats.]

I'm sorry. I can't seem to stop saying whatever I am thinking, it could be really inconvenient if I wanted a strategy to talk this out. But I don't think there's reasoning with these people in the first place, so it's probably not a problem after all.

It's a little sad but I'm not sure if you or Sonohara-san are real. If you were, that would be really helpful, though also a bit pathetic, because having to rely on others in such a way, and a girl as well, it's not very manly, but I'm so useless when it's like this. Still, it would be great if you're both real, because being able to rely on two such extraordinary people in a plan would be useful.

Ah, and it's not like I can dismiss you either, because I want to make sure you both escape safely no matter what. But I guess ultimately the plan has to rely only on me, as well. This is a little tricky. But I can't complain as we don't even have a plan.

I don't think escaping while we're confined like this is very likely--unless Sonohara-san is real, that might make it possible. But that aside, our best chance is when they come back to take one of us. But that will also be when they're most guarded.

[He sighs.] I wish I had a more innovative thought, but I guess my thoughts really only do match up to cliches. I wonder why I'm so limited?

If I distract and trip them up while you two ambush them, that would only work if you're real. Should I rely on that? They're probably used to simple tactics like that though.

Something mundane that would end up ridiculous anyway

[alethiological]

[Addition, Sonohara's apparently a girl, and the kid broke so bad he has no brain-to-mouth filter anymore. Factor in the hallucinations, possibly drugged. But between the endless rambling and analyzing Mikado's every movement, the expression stands out the most.

Acts like the average kid, regardless of whether it's completely nuts or not, there was something with potential in there. Probably stifled with how much he beats himself up. Might be worth looking into later. Added to the mental filing. Glaring off at the wall afterward, focusing on keeping a proper thought lined up between the headache, the claustrophobia, and the endless rambling of Mikado.]

If you're limited, then practice thinking out of the catbox.

[Inhale. Exhale. Closed room, only one exit, locked from the outside, no keys. Solutions. Getting a key inside, break the door, wait for someone to open from the outside. For the latter, could it be done with a lure or waiting. In both cases, how. First problem.] Whether we're real or not, the restrictions should be a concern before escape plans. I can't get out with my arm like this. What about you?

6-7, 4-4, 1-8 idk this looked hilarious in my head so I went with it

[llywelin]

[Let's just say they've been busy lately. Maybe Erika and Ange have been helping take Will's time along with Lion's parade of idiot friends taking up both of their days. Not a lot of quality time to be had in that, which makes for a sad Lion panda. Snuggles must be in order.

Or not, apparently.

Lion has been fidgeting with her appearance for about a half an hour, which is a lot to her for going to bed. She doesn't look bad or anything but she can't really figure out what about her looks appeals most to Will. This is a problem.

So she finally gives up and walks into their bedroom, frowning and leaning back against the door. Really she doesn't look different than usual for bedtime. Hair down, nightgown, that whole deal.

With a sigh.] Will, what's attractive about my body in your opinion? Please consider it seriously.

[Grand seduction begin!]

worst seduction attempt ever, GO

[alethiological]

[Being busy isn't a new thing, even if it's a bit depressing, but the point remains. It's not a new thing. In a way, it's actually more normal than the day to day monotony eroding every sensation like acid. Yet, he's still sitting, lost in his reading and oblivious to Lion taking a forever and half to get ready.

Then the question gets asked and he jerks up, looking over at her with that blank expression he gets whenever someone shakes him out of his thoughts. He does consider it, incredibly seriously, and her answer is the most eloquent of responses.]

... What?

Pretty much. Good luck, Will.

[llywelin]

[That is not the most encouraging response. Lion absently starts tugging at her nightgown and shaking her hair back a little. If he can't even think of something, she's already screwing up.]

Well? It's not a difficult question, is it? What do you like about me...physically?

[alethiological]

[The expression stays. By this point it's obvious it wasn't because there wasn't anything, but because the question was so out of left field. It still is. Though the realization she's actually serious gets a hesitation.

She's actually serious about this.

Really. Flat stare afterward as the thought finally sinks. And he doesn't even have to think about it before his answer.] Your hair. When you leave it down, you're breathtaking.

[Will's the only type who could pull off that line completely seriously. And right back to his book.]

[llywelin]

Oh. [It isn't disappointed, just surprised. Despite her odd haze of really, really, really needing Will right now, she can't help blushing and ducking her head. Well, she has always liked her hair. Though now that she has information, Lion has no idea how to proceed. Somehow she assumed a plan of action would just...appear. Not happening.

Right, well. Winging it, then.

Lion walks over to the bed and pauses before sitting down.] ...I could wear it down more. If you wanted.

[Her tone is attempting 'casual sexy.' It barely hits casual.]

[alethiological]

[Her barely hitting casual makes it come off more as awkward. She gets another glance over the top of his pages. Beat. Two. Three. Back to the words.]

Go ahead. It's up to you.

6-8, 5-5, 1-9

[intellectualrapist]

[It's probably not too late at night yet. Or at least the time is around after Lion has passed out and before Will has decided to sneak in his nightly nap. That time of night when Erika likes to scale up the walls of the house and tap on the window. Like she's doing now!

For the detective who is sober, notes: the tapping is a little slower and louder than it usually would be, as though possibly someone is not exactly in complete control of her motor skills at the moment. And yet she still manages this. Good job, Erika.]

[alethiological]

[He had been expecting it in a way. Only in that her visits are always at the same time, even if not every day, so at the knock he pauses. The difference is obvious, but at least she still has enough coherency to make some attempt at being covert.

Either way he closes his book. Takes another few seconds to wrench himself from Lion's death vice without waking her. Then wandering over to open the window and stare down at her, only wincing a bit at the smell of alcohol coming off of her. Another mental strike against his life.]

[intellectualrapist]

[The slight wince, while noticed, is not commented on. At least right now. At the moment, Erika is trying to prop herself up on the window's edge without falling or making too much noise.]

Willard, come outside. Tonight it feels like it's expanding. [Or she's drunk. Whatever.] Come on, you must be bored of being a pillow.

[On the bright side, she's not talking too loudly but it's still louder than she should be.]

[alethiological]

[Erika, if you said that organization of words to anyone else, their reactions would be far stranger. Instead she gets the flattest of flat stares, because the chance of it actually easing off is far less likely than her just being plastered. Waving a hand in the motion of 'shut up shut up you're too loud'.]

Be quiet. [And taking a glance back at Lion. At least she's unconscious. Humoring that cat he babysits while she's drunk shouldn't take too long.

Sigh.] Fine. Go wait at the front door, I'll be right down.

[intellectualrapist]

[Erika grins because hey, she wins! Winning makes her happy.] 'Good.' I'll be waiting. Hurry up.

[And like Batman or Spiderman or some disturbed hero that jumps off buildings, she jumps down and can probably be heard skittering across the house. Yeah she's a creeper.

And she will be standing right in front of the door.]

[alethiological]

[Again with the gratuitous English. Listening to her skitter off, idly wondering how she does that so well even while intoxicated. Either years of skill or stupidly talented, and either one applied to stalking is disturbing.

Either way he's downstairs shortly enough, tugging a coat on and freezing momentarily because she's right there when he opens it.

Immediately shutting the door. No drunk cats in the house.] Happy now?

you know what roll this is

[clinical]

[Knock knock knockin' on Willard's door.

Don't open it, Will. It isn't safe.]

oh god jade GET OUT

[alethiological]

[He doesn't know that yet. And it's quick to tell he's actually working instead of lazing around, since the response is immediate and agitated.]

What.

it's his house, he pays the bills

[clinical]

[Jade pauses. Will, at work? It seems like such a rare and precious thing that it would be immoral to disturb it.]

[So he steps in.] I had a small concern, and Lion suggested I consult with you.

that is not a good enough reason to keep dictionaries from flying at your head

[alethiological]

[The look shot at it him irritated for about two seconds until it drops to something between wariness and completely flat, tentatively termed the "oh god it's jade" look.

And Lion rebounded him no less. Already internally bracing for something horrible as he slams shut the law book he was flipping through.] If it's 'small', then why are you bothering me? What is it?

it's okay, he learned the AD Skill "Sidestep" levels and levels ago

[clinical]

[Jade is really very pleased that Will recognizes the signs and has a look for it. Really, this is why he enjoys being alive.]

[His expression doesn't change at all.]

Given her complications, it seemed unlikely, but I'm not fully aware of the abilities of angels from your world. Now that you're having sex, I thought it important to confirm that you won't be able to get her pregnant.

at least he gets a lot of use out of it

[alethiological]

[No response at first, just staring at him blankly. Then after the ten seconds of flatline, the words register, and he buries his face in one hand. Right when he thinks he's prepared for the Jade-isms, there Jade is. With something worse.

Filed away: Lion is going to pay for rebounding this. And the sigh as his thoughts start up again half a minute later is proof of that.]

Your tact is worse than mine. No I can't, and what complications are you talking about?
