Came Back Wrong meme

the “CAME BACK WRONG” meme


When we miss people, we want them back, and we want everything to be exactly the same as it was. But that’s not always possible. People change, whether for the better, or for the worse. People come back different. Maybe it’s due to unforeseen circumstances, maybe something terrible or wonderful happened to them, maybe something went wrong.

Either way, whoever you wanted to see again, isn’t quite the same as the last time you saw them.


HOW TO PLAY:
● Post with your character(s). ●
● Include your preferences (returning, waiting, bringing someone back, etc.). ●
● Comment to others if you so desire. ●
● Roll or pick a scenario, or come up with one of your own. ●
● Have fun! ●

Warning: This meme may contain dark themes, death, and violence.


CAME BACK FROM WHERE?


The Dead.
Someone you love is dead, and you just can’t take it anymore, so you dig out your ancient black magic texts to bring them back. But something’s not quite right... they’re not all there, or they’re a monster. Something is really wrong here....

The Lab.
Wherever they were, they were used in experiments. Those experiments changed them. They’re back now, but it’s not the same. They’re different. They went through something.

The Future.
Someone you know has just come back in time from the future, and man, is it different. How they’ve changed. What could have made them become this way? How have things gone in the future to bring this about?

The Hospital.
Something was wrong with them, whether serious or not. They had to spend some time getting better. Now they’re out, but are they really better? Something seems a bit off, a bit different....

The War.
They went off to fight for freedom, justice, love, what have you. Now they’re back, just like you’ve been waiting for. Only they’ve changed. They’ve seen some stuff, man. Heavy stuff. Or maybe something wonderful. Either way, it’s not the same.

Abroad.
They’re off studying in another country, teaching in another country. They moved due to family or career obligations. That’s over now though, and they’re moving back. But time away can do things to a person.

The Store.
They just went to the store down the street. A quick candy run. They’ve been gone for fifteen minutes. But man, those fifteen minutes changed them. Something happened to them out there.

Choose Your Own Adventure.
Mix and match any of the above. Come up with something of your own. Think of something I didn’t? The possibilities are endless!




CHANGED HOW?

Monstrous.
Whether brought back from the dead, or catching a zombie virus while out on a walk, they’ve come back as a monster. Something not quite what they used to be.

Dead Inside.
They don’t seem to have the life that they used to. They’re quiet, withdrawn. They might not even talk or have any personality at all. Maybe they’re just a drone. Maybe they're dead outside, too.

Traumatized.
Whatever they went through traumatized them. They can’t talk about it, they have panic attacks. They wake up screaming. They flinch when you touch them.

Stepford Wives.
It seems at first like nothing’s wrong. They’re back, and perfectly happy. A little too happy, even. Way too happy. It’s getting kind of creepy how happy they are....

Jaded.
They’re not traumatized, but they’re definitely bitter and cynical. They don’t believe in hope anymore. Life has changed them.

Cold and Distant.
They used to be your best friend, the love of your life, your soulmate. But now they seem to want nothing to do with you. You have nothing to talk about, no common ground between you anymore.

Wildcard.
Mix and match any of the above, come up with your own bizarre change, think of something different. Anything goes!

drrp mastermind au for week 12 i'm sorry not sorry

[personal profile] dereban 2014-08-03 11:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Eleven weeks. It had taken them eleven weeks to get things done, and not only that, it had taken them so long that it began to annoy her. She had "died" only a few weeks ago, but that honestly wasn't a real death; it was one that was faked rather well in fact, thanks to some certain things.

But she's bored.

And she's tired of waiting for them to finally come up with something smart, these idiots kept on messing up week after week and she's tired of it. They were doing things on a pattern, and it was too tedious. Too routine. Too predictable.

Which is why she'll do something different. Something new! After having the Monobear AI around with the 'ghosts' last week, she's decided to actually show up in the flesh, as the mastermind, but not reveal herself to anyone. However, Beat can find Inaba in the same place he found her 'ghost' the previous week, in the Game Room.

She was told what happened, so she's going to be playing another round of Time Crisis 3 trying to beat the high score. Though she won't mind an interruption, that's for sure. ]

...

Didn't expect ta see you again.

[After talking to Schuldig, he is no longer so sure that these 'ghosts' are really their friends. But regardless, getting everything off his chest to 'her' had... helped. SO he can't bring himself to be aggressive.]

Well, I hope it's certainly not an unwelcome surprise.

[ She speaks in a nonchalant tone as she shoots another one down. She doesn't mind talking and playing at the same time. A smile flickers onto her expression for a moment, but it doesn't reach her eyes at all, completely glazed over, empty.

Of course, she's wearing her uniform like always - there's no point in changing that, it was a complete waste of time and she had better things to do. Time was everything.

Okay, she's done with that level. Let's go, next level. She does skip the cutscene though as she waits for a response. ]
