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.

Combine some options or make your own!

[Nothing involving rape or addiction, please.]

[Okay, so this is hardly the first time Ed has come back to Resembool needing repairs. Still, he learnt rather quickly not to just keep getting her jewelery to distract her from his injuries and all. There's nothing he can do but just knock on the door and announce his return.

She'll probably nag him about not calling again. But at least this time he wrote? Last...last month, yeah. And totally not just because Al reminded him. How does she do that anyway, scare him like this when he isn't even inside the house yet? Dammit.

Well, here goes. He raises his fist and knocks at the door, fully expecting her to rant and nag at him about his injuries. But he prefers going to her so long as it isn't too serious to need a hospital visit.]

[ Winry had gotten the letter and she hadn't actually been expecting him back so soon but she had been expecting a client so she was dusting her hands off and then she opened the door and just stopped.

And stared, at least until she found her voice.]

...Ed?

[And that is clearly his cue to wave almost pathetically and attempt a reassuring smile. Because that would totally distract her from the obvious injuries and likely damage right? He could hope. Or dream might be more appropriate.]

....H-hey, Winry. I know, it's been a while.

[Which is likely am understatement, knowing him. But he has been in some form of contact which is some improvement on his past record at least.]

Noa Voilier | strengthtohelp | Kiba | M/F and M/M for shipping
"Have a good day," Noa bid a passerby with a smile. As soon as they were out of each other's sight, his lips turned down. He sighed. "You too," he whispered to himself in reply. He needed to believe his day would be good, or else it would a long one.

Shinobu Jacobs | upjacobsladder | No More Heroes | F/M and F/F for shipping
So today was a shit day. No big deal. Shinobu would manage it on her own. Maybe a heated spar at a dojo, or a joyride to who knows where on her motorcycle. She didn't need anyone to cheer her up ~~right?~~. Probably just piss her off anyway.

Seiji Yagiri | loveshead | Durarara!! | M/F preference for shipping, open to castmates
Seiji's temperament was indifferent for the most part, unless love was the center of a conversation or situation. Then he shifted between the ranges of passionate and volatile. So to most people, his dour mood might just look like him carrying on in his apathy.

[Some generic setups to jump off of in addition to the numbered prompts. If you'd rather have your character comforted, just let me know. Noa's most likely to cheer someone up, Shinobu may if she's up to it, but Seiji's going to be hard to convince to cheer someone else up.]
