ɪɴ ＳＥＣＲＥＴ

The connection between two souls is a beautiful thing, but sometimes, it's not allowed to see the daylight. Feelings have to be hidden away, desires kept under wraps, heartbeats ignored for propriety. The truth can only come out in darkness, in whispers. This truth doesn't invalidate your affection, though. In fact,it could make your emotions all the more strong...

...and dangerous.

Characters are involved in a love affair (or the like) they've got to keep secret, for whatever reason.

Kept Apart

kept A P A R T

In Japan, Vega is sometimes called Tanabata (or Orihime), a celestial princess or goddess. She falls in love with a mortal, Kengyu (or Hikoboshi), represented by the star Altair. But when Tanabata’s father finds out, he is enraged and forbids her to see this mere mortal. Thus the two lovers are placed in the sky, where they are separated by the Celestial River, known to us as Milky Way. Yet the sky gods are kind. Each year, on the 7th night of the 7th moon, a bridge of magpies forms across the Celestial River, and the two lovers are reunited. Sometimes Kengyu’s annual trip across the Celestial River is treacherous, though, and he doesn’t make it. In that case, Tanabata’s tears form raindrops that fall over Japan.

Your character is in love. How joyous! But there's a catch; there's always a catch.
The two characters in each thread can only meet once in a certain designated amount of time. Is it every month? Every year? Every seven years? Every millennia?
When they do get to meet - what happens? No matter what, it has to be bittersweet.

It's like a dance, you have to learn the steps.

How to Love

No matter how straightforward it may seem, the human emotion of "love," especially true, unconditional love, is complex and often hard to understand. All that forgiveness, all that dedication, all that light in the dark - how can one person have all that inside of them? You don't understand that, possibly because you're not a human. You're a calculating robot, an alien with a completely different frame of reference, or an artificially created being told only to feel certain ways. If you are a human, however, that doesn't necessarily clue you in to all the secrets of affection. Cold, uncaring assassins, brutal warriors, ruthless womanizers and maneaters, or the just plain broken can often feel like robots among their own kind.

But you want that to change. You have a stirring in your chest for someone and you want to know what love is so you can make them happy. This is the first time you've ever wanted to do so and be so unselfish. Hopefully, they can be a good teacher and help you open up, getting you both closer...

...or you could end up with someone as inexperienced as you. Well, there is something to be said about learning together.

Comment with your character, preferences, and what side you'll be playing (learning, teaching, whatever you'd like).

HELP ME PLEASE! the meme

We all have something we either can't do, or can't do alone. Luckily there's a meme for that.

HOW TO PLAY

○Post with your character. Don't put their name and canon in the header. Instead put something that they don't know how to do and would like to learn, or something they might want help or practice with.

examples: I can't swim • I need to clean this whole house so I can go to a ball and seduce a prince • I'd like to practice throwing pitches with someone

○Look around the meme! If you see someone that you think your character can be of some help to... tag them!

( other wordly )

Otherwordly Meme

Sometimes all you need is a word to spark off an idea.

1. Post a comment with your character's name, canon, and any preferences you may have (no shipping, no smut, etc.)

2. Leave the comment blank or post a word or two in the body.

It may also help if you list scenarios you would like to play.

3. Reply to other people, either with words you picked out, or words they posted as prompts for a thread.

The Stuck Together Meme

The Stuck Together Meme

At this point, it doesn't matter who's fault it is. You are physically stuck to another being. Literally can not stop touching them. And nothing seems to be working to get you two apart at all. Thankfully, you're not completely out of luck. Just the item or help you need to separate yourselves will be ready and available...eventually. Let's hope you and that person you're stuck to can last that long without killing one another.

-Post as your character and list your name and canon in the subject line.
-Tag someone else
-Congrats, you're now stuck together with insanely powerful glue/alien goo/magic/ropes/handcuffs/whatever
-Have Fun
