The Attached Meme
Inspired by the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode of the same name.
- Comment with your character, specifying name, canon, and gen/shipping/smut preferences, and/or tag someone else.
- You and the other person now have two problems. One, you're aware of each other's surface thoughts regardless of either of your wishes, and two, if you try to distance yourselves from each other you're struck with nausea and vertigo until you manage to get close again.
- Optionally, roll for or choose details:
- You've been captured by some hostile force and had devices surgically implanted into the backs of your necks in order to facilitate interrogation. The mental link between you and dependency on proximity are just side-effects. Can you escape under these conditions?
- You've been cursed by a spellcaster or supernatural being who wants you to "learn a lesson". Whether that's a real lesson about each other made possible by forced openness and time spent together or just the lesson of "don't mess with me" is an open question, and figuring it out may be key to having the curse broken...
- One of you has suddenly awakened to latent paranormal powers, or your existing powers are suddenly misbehaving -- perhaps due to unforeseen interaction with the other person's abilities, if they have them. Maybe you could solve this, or at least the part about having to stay near each other, if you could only gain control over your power...
- You were both willingly part of a scientific experiment, whether one of your own design or something you both volunteered for, and this... was not the result you signed up for. The mental link may or may not have been a known goal, but the involuntary aspect and the inability to separate aren't things either of you expected. Can science undo what it has done?
- You both came into contact with an unknown substance, whether by accident or simply because of mutual curiosity, and this was the result. Now if you're going to be able to have privacy relative to each other again, you're going to have to figure out what it is and why it had the effect on you it did in order to find a way to counteract it.
- Your choice, or something new!
- You've been captured by some hostile force and had devices surgically implanted into the backs of your necks in order to facilitate interrogation. The mental link between you and dependency on proximity are just side-effects. Can you escape under these conditions?
- Have fun!

One, two. Seventy two. Thirty seven point three... twelve. Not twelve.
It was some sort of code? Broken code, like the broken bone. Leave it to a Vulcan to take a lyrical metaphor and interpret it literally.

Even with his shields raised as high as he could get them, there was no escaping Khan's errant surface thoughts... or the fact that Khan was obviously picking up his as well. He took a deep breath.
~ You are in a Starfleet facility. ~

If he tried to get the ID badge off the coat, maybe he could get a closer look... No, that didn't work. Now people were yelling. Again. And maybe that was some kind of alarm, but it sounded like it was underwater. Now the floor was touching his face.
What's happening? I thought everything had finally stopped.

Khan probably shouldn't have been conscious. He was supposed to be in storage. The fact that he clearly wasn't didn't surprise Spock, not with all that he'd learned. There was a heavy pause, and then a flurry of incoherent words (all Vulcan), before:
~ I am coming to the facility you are in. ~

Lying in a heap on the floor where he had fallen was a simple enough strategy, and it seemed to be working well enough. Everyone was afraid to go near him anyway.
I'm not where I'm supposed to be.
