power corrupts yadda yadda

The Absolute Power Meme

Maybe it's a convenient twist of fortune and chance, maybe it's a game between friends or lovers, maybe it's a vacation of restraint, or maybe it's sweet revenge. Whatever the case is, suddenly you find you can make people do anything you like, simply by telling them to. Or maybe just that one person. And boy does that power feel good. You just can't help indulging, maybe because that power is intoxicating or maybe because there's something pulling your strings as much as you're pulling someone else's. Is it one-off? Temporary? Or the start of a brand new 'relationship'? Whatever the case, for whichever reason you have it and for however long, you have complete control of this person: Tell them to sit, they sit, tell them to sing, they sing. Tell them to love you, and they'll love you whether they like it or not.

1. Post with your character name, series, and any preferences (such as what you'd rather NOT do)
2. Others respond with their shiny new ability.
3. Optionally, roll for a reason
4. As things go on, the person giving commands will lose more and more control over giving orders themselves, intoxicated by power, fueled by the moment, or really losing control to someone else.
5. Just because they're going to follow commands doesn't mean they want to. They can try to avoid it all they like, and complain as much as they want...but it will eventually win out no matter what.
6. Corrupt. Deal with therapy bills.

~-~
PROMPTS

1 - Revenge: They did something against you however long ago, and now it's time you give them a taste of their own medicine. You might be a bit vindictive as it goes on, though...
2 - Enemies: You've long been rivals or enemies, and this is just the next step in your ongoing battle...or is it the end?
3 - Love: Maybe you've forged a deep bond, maybe you're just trying to protect them, whatever the case their life is now in your hands. They're probably willing to give up control to you. For now. Absolute power can corrupt anything.
4 - Stalkers: PAY ATTENTION TO ME. LOVE ME. BE WITH ME FOREVER.
5 - Fun: You could always do this, you're just tired of not doing it, and this unlucky person happens to be the one subjected to it. Best not get bored.
6 - Accidental: You didn't mean to, you might not even realize you can at first...but now that you are, it's pretty cool beans! Don't get carried away!
7 - Kink: You don't have any ulterior motives, you're just spicing up the bedroom. Don't lose yourself in it now.
8 - Pet: This isn't new. This person is your pet and always has been--or has been for awhile. What to do with them today?
9 - Puppet: You're not doing this on purpose! Something just seems to be motivating you to give orders that happen to be followed. Careful, you might not be in any more control than they are.
10 - Choose your own: Maybe there's some other reason to be driven to give commands to someone else. Just remember that with great power comes...

Then get some?

[Weiss sighed, leaning back on the backrest of her chair and setting her quill aside.]

I could get you some if you want, I'm going to need a cup of coffee anyway.

[Weiss didn't realize what she just said, but there's something about Ruby right now that makes her words more compelling...]

Sure! Chocolate chip, please!

[How had it come to this? Since when had he ever found himself bested so badly that he would end up in this situation. Every single day that Aomine woke up with a stupid text or call he would grit his teeth and answer the phone or the text. Each and every time he had one he felt his insides squeeze and he gripped his cellphone in his hand so hard the case creaked in protest. Reaching back with his hand, he made to throw the cell phone, but instead he took a deep breath and willed himself to lower his hand, dropping the phone to the bed as he looked at the call coming through.

The face of the phone was easy to read from where it had dropped onto the bed. The name on the phone didn't surprise him anymore. After all, this had been going on for some time. With a sigh he picked it up and swiped a pointer finger answering the call.]


What do you want?

Good morning, Daiki.

[For now there's the slightest hint of amusement that must be able to be heard through the phone. Given any other situation Akashi wouldn't usually waste his time in actually making the call, not when it isn't always guaranteed to be picked up right. Texts are so much more concise and preferred. Perhaps a testament just how far he's fallen into comfort calling upon Aomine like this. The increased frequency and severity should have been a warning it was all getting out of hand. It wasn't part of his plan for it to get this way – but it's too late to go back now.]

You have only an hour to get over here. [Oh, he has plans for you Aomine. Can't you tell?] Don't keep me waiting.

[Great. He could have just ignored it, but he wasn't that stupid. He bristled immediately after hearing Akashi's voice, baring his teeth at the wall as his voice dropped low. He hated being ordered around, chewing on his words the blue haired male ground out between clenched teeth, voice just a little louder than he probably should have been talking.]

Tch. You don't own me, so quit pretending you do. I'm not coming.

[Same song, different dance, and maybe a different out come? However, it wasn't like he really had a choice. But he would push against the shackles the other had taken care to meticulously place on him.]
