The Sensory Deprivation Meme

You know those things you rely on to navigate you properly through life? Senses? Yeah, well, kiss those goodbye.

(TRIGGER WARNING: This meme deals with the loss of senses - blindness, inability to feel. If the concept of blindness, deafness and/or the loss of any of your senses bothers you, please do NOT play this meme)



Post with your character name/fandom/options for scenarios (ie; het/slash fluff/smut) and your prompt. Use RNG to pick your numbers. 1-5 for regular senses, 6-10 for moral sense, 11-16 for cracky senses.

Tag others.


The Basic Five

1. Sense of Sight - Whether you woke up that way, had an accident, a brain tumor expanded or you had a bad reaction to something, you're now blind. Fully and completely. Watch out for that bu--*wince*

2. Sense of Smell - Did someone step in dog crap? It could be you, but you'd never know. You've lost your sense of smell. I guess there's no stopping by the roses for you, huh?

3. Sense of Hearing - "I'M NOT YELLING!!" Yes, yes you are. And no matter how loud you crank AC/DC, you're never hearing Highway to Hell again. Guess I shouldn't have gotten you the Stones compalition CD's, huh?

4. Sense of Taste - No, it doesn't taste like chicken. In fact, it doesn't taste like anything. Perfect time to get that friend that burns everything to cook for you - at least it'll make them happy and you can smile through the whole ordeal.

5. Sense of Touch - Where'd you get that bruise? Or that gaping knife wound? No clue. You have utterly lost the ability to feel anything, like your body is enveloped in fuzzy packing tape. Punch the wall all you want, you ain't gonna feel anything.


The Guiding Factors

6. Sense of Right and Wrong - Tripping people that get in your way? Taking candy from babies? Killing someone that hurt you and yours? All sound like pretty good ideas right about now. Your entire moral code has been thrown into the 'grey' area. There is no right or wrong, only what you want.

7. Sense of Decency - Things that just 'aren't done' are in play for you now. Evicting old ladies and orphans because they can't pay? Pff. Good. Lousy Mooching leeches. Hitting on that underage and naive little thing? Puh-leeze, they're an easy mark. Deflower, deport and debauch yourself to your heart's content.

8. Sense of Self - You don't even know who you are anymore. What are you doing with your life? What's it all mean? What the hell's it for? Why even bother to get up in the morning? Are you going to go try and 'find' yourself? Or just give up?

9. Sense of Preservation - Your life? Means about as much as a mouse fart. Why should you step out of the way of that speeding train? You were there first. Mouthing off to that huge, angry, overpumped steroid-faced goon sounds like a good idea too. He took your seat. And he smells.

10. Sense of Empathy - That ability that lets you put yourself in the shoes of others, to relate to them? Gone. No, you don't know what they're feeling, and quite frankly, you don't want to. You have your own things to deal with, and they're much more important. Why? Because they're yours.


The Quirky Ones

11. Sense of Humor - Wait, am I supposed to laugh now? You have to take your cue from those around you, laughing when they do, usually a little bit late and a little too long. Not even a fart joke will crack a smile.

12. Sense of Direction - You couldn't find your ass with both hands. Literally. You tried. And wound up getting thrown in the clink for inappropriate conduct with a nun. Don't drop the soa-- Too late.

13. Sense of Modesty - So what if you're using a belt as a skirt. It looks good, right? Bending over and showing off too much isn't an issue for you, neither is changing in the middle of the store if you just have to wear that cute little shirt now.

14. Sense of Fashion - Yes, you think a pink polka-dotted bikini top goes just smashingly with the neon green bellbottoms. Bubblewrap tops? Freakin' awesome. Put it on and flaunt it, and watch people's eyes bleed.

15. Sense of Timing - "What do you mean now's a bad time?" Yes, because you think trying to pick up a girl at her husband's funeral is a good thing. What? She's single. You're late to everything. A clock? Wassat? Strange, foreign words...

16. Mix and Match - You poor bastard, you've lost more than one sense. 2? 3? The whole lot? Who knows, that's up to you.

[Michael had become accustomed to odd things happening to him. After all, it was part of the job to be ready for odd side-effects... even so, blindness was not something he expected.

Not only that, for it to last well into his vacation time back to the land of the living made it even more annoying.

He's just staggering about aimlessly and walking into things.]

[Thor grins, coming up on his brother. He needs to show someone his new ability. He might have preferred one of the warriors three, or Sif, even, but Loki will do!]

Brother!

[Thor bounded up, clapping Loki on the shoulder.]

6 don't mind me as I brush off the rust here.

[cohabitations]

[Charles had gone to great lengths to make sure the school and its grounds were completely secure. The only people who knew of its existence were the Brotherhood, and, well, if they became a threat, he would deal with them.

Right now, they were a mild nuisance.

It was quite amusing to him how things had changed since the beach. Cuba had been an eye opening experience. His powers had become stronger. While he could not still penetrate the helmet Erik wore like a second skin, he could sense when the other children on the the grounds saw him, and smiled to himself from his study, telling them to allow him access.

Erik, how good to see you.

[Despite his disadvantage of a wheelchair, he did not feel as if he were in danger from his old friend, as is obvious by the warm, inviting smile on his face.]

I have to admit, you've caught me somewhat unawares. I wasn't expecting you. [Still smiling, he finishes what he is writing and pushes the papers away, clasping his hands together, and leaning forward, his elbows on the desk to watch him.]

What brings you here?

well, this is suiting. 14.

[ Sup, Pepper. Tony's just going to cruise by wearing one of those horrendous Hawaiian print shirts and a pair of leather pants. Don't even ask where he got them. ]

Hey, we ready to go? Thought I promised you I wouldn't be late this time.

their usernames made me do it! also idk 11?

[curbstomping]

[sup, he's not laughing, because Alex Mercer suffers from a distinct lack of sense of humour. or well, a normal sense of humour. the situations, or things, he usually finds amusing are far from such for most people. at the same time though, the opposite is true as well.

so here he is. not laughing. at all. his lips pressed into a straight line, rest of his expression covered by the hoody.

whatever the situation was, for him? it wasn't funny. not entirely annoying either, just... awkward and uncomfortable, but good luck getting him to admit that.]

Oh hello there! He's already lost msot of 6-10 you know. Anyways rolled a 1

[has_an_army]

[Loki had been blinded. The healers said it could only be temporary, but the magics that had caused it were very strong indeed if the famed Loki couldn't just throw off this curse.

As if to make matters worse, Thor seemed to have made it his mission to aid him in the most annoying of fashions.

He was constantly around! Loki no longer had an semblance of privacy. He loved to study old texts, but it seemed that was no longer possibly. Another annoyance.

And Thor followed him around - or led him around like a lost puppy]

Brother, surely you have better things to be doing.

[What the hell is that? He can barely tell if it's supposed to be pancakes or waffles, and are those grits, or simply gritty oatmeal? It was a far cry from the shit on The Nebuchadnezzar, the thing that could have been tasty wheat or chicken or both at the same time. Or neither.

When he went into the Matrix and actually ate (which was rare), he did so for flavors he couldn't get in the real world. And this? This didn't look like anything but possibly toxic chemicals in the form of "food."]

What is this?

3, oh god my baby, and I'm going with EV timeline

[foepas]

Alec woke with L still sitting off to the side, showing no sign of having moved from his spot. When Alec grunted at him he didn't get a response, which was only usual. It wasn't until Alec was in the bathroom and turning on the water that he realized just what was off. His hands scrambled for his ears, sticking fingers in to search for parasites.

Nothing, and a text and a quick visit to Anders later said that there was nothing he could do for Alec, even if he was annoyingly kind about it. It was hard to know if his words were doing any good when he couldn't hear them.

Which left Alec to be alone and wallow, only he was never very good at that. He knew that he shouldn't call Richard, that it would be better for Richard not to know, but he needed to do something. So he yelled at L to leave the room and initiated a brief video with Richard -- so he could see Alec was fine... -- told him, "I want to see you. Come to my room," and then ended it.

[ wait I have no idea how this meme works so now it's a choose your own adventure We're going to put this in the health room because I say so.

Hoshizuki-sensei is of course hard at work asleep at his desk. Everything appears to be normal, it's a nice day, the sky's bright.. which of course only means that something is going to go terribly wrong or already has. Aside from the awful dreams he's always having, that is. ]

[Oh hey, it's Thor.

Hey, Thor! Fandral is out and about today, but he's not wearing his usual armor.

Instead, he's wearing a green speedo of a rather small caliber, and absolutely nothing else. He looks so good in it, too, and also unashamed.

Hairy man legs revealed and everything else, he sidles up to the god of thunder, cocks a hip, and puts his hands to his waist.]

Do I smell pancakes?
