 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!

[Sherlock, unlike Johann Sebastian Bach and James Moriarty, does not mind an interrupted melody, so he pauses his singing to shrug at the compliment.]

Absolute pitch.

[He's got as much of a gift with music as he does with deduction.]

Would you like me to continue?

More than that. It's also very ... resonant.

[She's drifting more.]

Please.

[Sherlock hummed thoughtfully at that. A good tone as well as absolute pitch. Good to know. He doesn't sing very often.]

Come gentlemen that have a mind
To serve a queen that's good and kind.
Come list and enter in to pay
And go over the hills and far away.

[He can tell that the song is having the desired effect, even though the violin would have had her sleeping by now. It's harder coming up with lyrics than notes, otherwise he would have been able to improvise something more effective.]

And we shall live more happy lives,
Free of squalling brats and wives
Who nag and vex us every day.
So its over the hills and far away

[If Joan had been awake to hear that last verse, she might have had a sarcastic comment. But she fell asleep sometime during the previous verse.]

[Sherlock allows his voice to get lentando until it finally tapers off into quiet. He doesn't need to finish the song entirely, since it's already served its purpose. He leans his head back against the headboard and watches her. It'll be a quarter hour before he'll get into a more comfortable position for sleeping. For now, he'll just idly touch her shoulder while she rests.]

[She feels warm, safe and relaxed, so she sleeps soundly and without dreams. When Sherlock shifts, she doesn't wake at all.]

((OOC: This feels like a good place to end the thread I think. We could always continue them running off around the world somewhere in the future or maybe have them get back home after. As always, I love your Joan. :X))
