The Be My Therapist Meme
Your characters have been trapped in a strange but comfortable room, with a big desk and couch, and now have to spend some time either talking about their problems or listening to other people's problems and trying to give good advice. Both is fine, too.
The room itself will compel them to at least try to play those roles, and will only release them after they do what it wants them to do.
The problems can be silly or serious, deep or shallow, it's all up to you.
[The List Of Possible Problems]
1. Small but still sucky problems that are just bothersome- They've gotten bad grades at school, they have a bad hair day, they fought with a friend about something really silly, etc etc.
2. Love, relationships and family problems - They're fighitng with their SO, they think their spouse might be cheating on them, they have Mother/Father Issues, their siblings are their worst enemy, etc etc.
3. Lifechanging problems - They flunked out of school, they find out they have superpowers, they find out they are the only one who can pilot a super robot, etc etc.
4. 'Our world as we know it is in danger' type problems - The Dark Lord is raising and is trying to take over their world, they have zombie problems, the Evil Space Empire is coming for their planet, their experiments with time travel ended up unraveling reality, etc etc.
5. Work related problems - They have to deal with the boss from hell, how are they supposed to defend the Earth with all those budget cuts, etc etc
6. Money problems - They have to deal with budgeting, inheritance problems, etc etc. Or maybe they just can't afford that fancy car...
7. Trauma related problems - Something bad happened to them, be it the deaths of important people or being trapped in a warzone or anything else, and they have to deal with the resulting trauma.
8. Really cracky problems - I hate my superheroine uniform, my brother always chews my slippers when he turns into a werewolf and I wish he'd stop, etc etc.
9. Something else
[How To]
1. Post as your character. (Please write down the name and canon/fandom of the character in the subject line, and also if they're canon, AU, crossover or OC, etc.)
2. Please choose your character's role - Therapist (Counsellor) or Client - and set the first scene. Setting the scenes for both is fine, too. (It is also all right for the characters to take turns being the therapist and the client, if that's what you want to do)
3. Tag, thread and have fun!

If you're gonna ask me how I feel about this, I'm all over that shit. The answer is fucking stupid, and also confused as balls. Which, contrary to popular belief, is really confused. Don't even know which way they're facing, man.
no subject
You feel confused and stupid. Hmmmm. That's very troubling. (Hehe) [She scribbles something down. ...She isn't looking at the pad.]
Actually, I was going to ask: why you think you're here?
2/2
Out of curiousity, you do mean "balls" as in generalized spherical objects, correct?
no subject
Anyway, I was mostly talking about this whole therapy thingy being stupid, but whatever. And I dunno why I'm here. I'm assuming kidnapping. You're like, what, five? That's something that happens, right? Before we really get into this whole shtick, what's your name? Can't just call you Dr. Pedo this entire time, right?
[Another pause.] Well, I guess I could, actually.
no subject
(Hehehehe) Five? Given that you're calling me a pedo, I can only assume that
-1) you think I'm attracted to loonies, and
-2) we're going off of mental maturity, not physical age. [Her grin widens slightly.]
The jury's still out on that first one, by the bye. I should think the why of being here to be fairly obvious though. I merely wanted your opinion on the matter. It has been most informative. (Hehehe) [She scribbles in the pad again, still not looking at it.]
If you actually are curious as to my name, you may address me as Dr. Terezi Pyrope, Mr...?
no subject
[He leaves it at that, seeing if there's a version of him in wherever the hell she's from.]
no subject
Dave? [She frowns and taps the feathery end of the quill against her chin.]
You're trying to tell me you're Dave and you don't know who I am? [Her face adopts a neutral expression and she returns to her scribbling.] So, Mr. Strider, which house are you in? For the record.
no subject
Not that you can tell, of course. Unless you go and lick a mirror or something. [Hey, he's allowed to make those sorts of jokes probably.]
I'm in the house of the Striders. The best damn house there is, even if it's not technically a house. But that's just how bitchin' our apartment is.
And damn, girl, what sort of question is that to see if I'm actually Dave? That's low-level.
no subject
...
Lick a mirror?
Well you're acting like Dave, you've got that down. But you don't even know what kind of house I'm talking about. It's like you're some alternate universe muggle Dave.
Have you been hexed recently? Drunk any strange potions? Been hit on the head?
no subject
And what the hell other house could you- [Wait. Muggle. That word sounds familiar oh my shit, is she really? Holy jegus, she's from Harry Fucking Potter.]
Oh my god, christmas just came early for me. This may be the greatest thing to happen to me all month, let alone all day. Quick, which house are you in? I'll bet it's that creepy one, right? Slythering? I'm probably with the red theme still. Grappledoor.
