ANGST MEME

Sometimes we all want to play some angst and see just how far our characters will fall.

- Post your characters, name and series in the subject along with any preferences.

- Go to random.org and roll.

- Play!

1. just depressed.

Things are tough, you're feeling worn out, or whatever the case, you're depressed. You need help or someone else thinks you do anyway.

2. abandoned.

You were left behind by everyone you hold dear and now you're forced to see how well they've adjusted, how happy they all are while you're screaming inside.

3. sick.

Cold, flu, or something even worse, all you can do is lay back and let someone take care of you.

4. fight.

You've been fighting nonstop with the other person and it just keep escalating.

5. break up.

You're being broken up with and they won't reconsider... Damn.

6. separated.

For some reason, you've been separated from the other person for a long time.

7. kidnapped.

You've been held captive for how long now? Maybe they've been torturing you even, using your blood to write ransom notes, threatening to cut off fingers to send next, etc. Rescue is on the way though, right?

8. beaten up.

Just because someone didn't like you or maybe they wanted something you had, whatever the case is, you're coming home sporting some nasty wounds and bruises.

9. jealousy.

You just have this undeniable jealousy suddenly and you need to let it out.

10. cheated on.This goes beyond just suspicion and you have full on proof of what your lover has done. How do you handle it?

11. apathetic.

You're not sad, you're not happy, you just... don't feel much anymore. The sparkle of life has gone right out of you and you're just going through the motions now.

12. addicted.

Drugs, alcohol, whatever your drug of choice is, you can't fight the draw and you can't draw yourself out of the hole, but the other person is going to try.

13. bad romance.

You know this isn't good for either of you, but you can't stop now.

14. fear.

Nightmares, the feeling someone is following you, etc. You can't shake the feeling.

15. insanity.

You're seeing things and hearing them, waking up only to realize you've done things you don't remember or you're in a place you weren't before. You're losing it and you don't know what to do.

16. guilt.

It's eating you up inside and you have to tell someone about it now. You want to be punished and you won't take no for an answer.

17. loss

You've lost something dear to you.

18. wild card.

(ooc: bring me your woes!)

[Loki's descent from greatness will be the legend and nightmare of Asgard for centuries to come. A royal prince, one of the most influential men in the realm and in the greater cosmos and at the very height of society, driven by jealousy and madness down to the depths of infamy. For all he was regarded with respect and awe in the past, so he is despised in even greater measure now. Most will not even speak of the once-son of Odin that rots now in the deepest dungeon for eternity.

Most, but not all. There are still those who must know of him, those who must care for his wants. Loki wishes those people did not exist, for he hates all of them. He has refused much of the food and drink that has been offered to him and laughed at those who tried to question him about the things he has seen and done. He has wished only to be alone and in private to brood or try and rest. And there's no chance of that with all of his guards present.

Still, even in this condition he did not expect the sight that greats him now outside his cell window. For a moment he only stares in shock. But quickly he gets hold of himself; he hoists a mocking smile on his face and sinks into a sarcastic bow before the king of the cosmos and the man who was once his father.]

To what does this lowly prisoner owe the honor, Allfather?

Is it an honour? I'm not so sure. [It isn't a pleasure, that much Odin can say for certain. Venturing down into the cavernous wastes of Asgard's dungeons has never been an easy nor a straightforward matter but now, knowing that it is Loki who waits for him in the cells, helpless and alone... Perhaps it shouldn't be surprising that the Allfather carries himself a little more gingerly as he steps in front of the glass, with a stoop to his shoulders that was never there before. He feels as old now as he ever has.]

Is it so outlandish for a father to wish to speak with his son? Even under the circumstances. [Or did Loki think that Odin had forgotten him?]

[The Allfather's rounded back and bone-weary features are not lost on Loki for a second. He knows this look, as he knows so much about the father he loved and respected for a thousand years. The king is sorely burdened with stress, with sorrow. But his strength will never fail, Loki is certain. Never, until he permits himself to rest.

Loki keeps his heart hard, his expression set: he has no cause to fear for this man, to pity him or to feel his heart fill when he hears the word "father". He swallows through a tight throat.]

Your son is within the palace, is he not? Or is he still cleaning up the destruction on Midgard?

As it has already proven, Midgard is more than capable of looking after itself. [Midgardians truly are spectacular creatures, capable of more than even Odin - though he'll be careful not to make such unfounded judgements so quickly in future - thought possible.] For the moment, your brother is where he is needed most.

And you, Loki... [Odin regards him coolly through the glass, his one eye trained on Loki's, never straying, never wavering. He will look on the man his son has become unflinchingly and without trepidation. Odin owes him at least that much.] I believe you are where you most need to be.

[Loki's lip curls with fierce satisfaction at Odin's words. It's exactly what he expects to hear from the Allfather, what he wants to hear: you are hated and unworthy, you are not wanted. The cruel king of Asgard may have been willing to raise a pawn against Jotunheim, but he has no use for a misbehaving, destructive son. Rather than allowing such a liability to his reputation to live freely, Odin has sent him here to languish. And it hardly matters - a prince is too important to imprison; but a frost giant is of no consequence.]

And what of you, Allfather? Where do you most need to be? Surely there are more pressing matters than the words of a criminal.

[He doesn't really expect his words to rebuff the king, but he feels confident enough to say them. What has he to lose? He finds that he can even stare back into Odin's calm eye with a raised chin. His heart begins to beat more quickly.]

Odin Allfather || Thor (2011) || OTA

Wow, how has every other Loki not jumped on this? Um, 15, because clearly.

Because, apparently, I like to make them wait days and days before they get a reply? :|

No worries! I can be a slow tagger too.
