CREATED FOR EACH OTHER

[picturethat]

the created for each other meme
a dark shipping meme

tl;dr version — a meme that explores a shipping concept from a darker perspective. Characters, brainwashed by losing their memories and other scientific deviancies, are bonded with their "lifemate," who they're said to be created for. They must live together and grow co-dependently close, all while the machinations behind the scene are twirling like cogs in order to move them closer to the darkness.

Anyone can be manipulated. You just need to work at them through the right person.

You wake up, groggy and confused, in a white room that is expansive and furnished with all white furniture, yet pristine. The white is probably so bright that it hurts your eyes and you may have to blink for a moment. It doesn't help that your body is swathed in white, too; you're wearing what appears to be a modern day white cotton scrub top and and bottom. In fact, the only spot of black on you is on the palm of your hand: right in the center, there's a barcode. Under that, in neat, angular print, is a name. Your name.

It's a good thing it's there because otherwise, you wouldn't know it. Your memories are gone. You don't know how you got here, why you're here, or much of anything else. Soon, however, you'll know that you're not alone. The other person is not you're captor, that much is for sure. They're clothed like you are and look just as confused. They even have the exact same barcode as you, down to the last number. The only thing that differs is the name under it.

But the room is furnished for one alone. One bed, one couch, one bathroom. You two don't know much, yet you know you are two. The secret is soon made clear by a voice over a hidden loudspeaker. The voice claims to be a scientist and announces the purpose of you being here. This is the first day of your existence, they say, and you two were created together and for each other. Lifemates, the term is. You both are the perfect scientific experiment, and let man not tear asunder what science hath created.

And that's it.

Accept this or not, there seems to be little recourse. The room has no visible entrance or exit. The walls don't budge if you hit them. Nothing works. The only time anything changes is when food is brought in, but neither of you have ever seen that occasion. No matter how long you stay up, you always fall asleep when food or other necessities come in. Could that have something to do with the soft, soothing voices and pleasant feelings that sometimes come when you least except them?

You and your "lifemate" may be mutually scared, get along swimmingly from the start. It doesn't matter. Eventually, you'll become closer and closer. Lines will get crossed. Boundaries will get obliterated. Maybe it's because they're the only lifeline you have. Or maybe, maybe what the "scientist" said is right. You're created for each other, and this is your natural state. Whatever the case may be, as time goes on, you want to stay with them, even if you still want to leave this place. After all, how could you leave the side of the person you've spent your whole life with.

Yet there's something in your mind that tells you there's wrong here. Sometimes, at night, you'll get images of another life, and later, during the day, you'll feel hints of an existence you've never known. Luckily, you have your lifemate to get you through this.

HOW TO PLAY

• Basically, your character has no memories and are power-nerfed...for some options.
• Reply with your character and preferences. Also be sure to mention whether or not you'll play smut, since some options are smut-tinged.
• Reply to others!

PROMPTS

1. First Meeting — You've just woken up and are getting the news.
2. Learning about Each Other — Though you don't have memories, you still have personalities to navigate.
3. Distaste — You don't like each other. How are you created for each other at all?
4. Guard — While one sleeps, the other looks on. Why does their sleeping form bring up so much fondness?
5. Unwittingly — You didn't want to give in, yet you find yourself being pulled in by your companion and growing protective of them.
6. Closeness — Soft words grow into soft touches, embraces, tiny kisses, and a gentle (relatively) haven.
7. Initiating — The first time you're going to be intimate, or the five millionth time, it will be on your own terms.
8. Need You Now — You've grown reliant on your "lifemate" to keep you calm or even take care of you, whether you want to admit it or not. You may even need them beside you to sleep or
9. Physicality — Your relationship has a full-on carnal aspect. What else is there to do?
10. Twisted by Science — Your emotions have been tampered with to make you love your lifemate more because you weren't responding.
11. Pure Love — Despite the situation, what you feel for your companion is real. You truly love them, even if you haven't told them.
12. Connection — In some cases, lifemates have been known to have a mental connection, where they can share some thoughts and all pain.
13. Aphrodisiac — The sexual bonding between the two of you isn't progressing in a way it should, so one or both of you is injected with a potent aphrodisiac. That should do the trick.
14. Implanted Memories — You remember happy times with your lifemate. Surely those memories are real.
15. Flashbacks — You remember another life, and it doesn't match up with what you know.
16. Nightmares — Waking up in the middle of the night, sweating in fear is never a wonderful experience. Luckily, you have someone close by to cheer you up...if you want to worry them with your dreams.
17. No One but You — You've decided to ignore the scientists and make the best of what you have, carving out a little life together.
18. Scientist — You're not actually a lifemate, you're a scientist! However, you've developed pesky feelings for one of your subjects.
19. Breeding Stock — You're not humans, you're animals, and the scientists want you to breed as such.
20. Protect — You'll fight off anyone to protect your lifemate, scientists included.
21. Power Surge — What are these powers that have suddenly appeared? You've never had these! Your lifemate should stay back, lest you hurt them.
22. Training Together — New equipment has been put into your living quarters and you've been told to learn to work together perfectly. Whether you're both fighters or one is a fighter and the other their handler or healer, you must fit as well in battle as you do in life.
23. The Veil Falls — The curtain is raised, and you see that you're not an experiment. You had a life that's been stolen from you. Your mate had one, too. What will you do with this new knowledge?
24. Wish to Forget — Instead of being angry or glad about your past existence, you're horrified by what it was like and only want to live in the now with your lifemate.
25. To Garner a Response — The scientists want to see how you'd respond if your lifemate was hurt.
26. A Task Given — In order to guarantee the safety of your lifemate, you have to do a certain task. Maybe hurting someone else isn't a big deal as long as you get what's yours back.
27. A Taste of Freedom — You and your lifemate are allowed out, but you have a job to do.
28. Separated — You've been disobedient and as such, you two will be punished by separation.
29. Escape — There's a tiny window of opportunity to get out. Take it. But no one gets left behind, even if you would have before.
30. Separate Ways — Now that you're out, there's no reason to stay together, right? You're not really lifemates, right?
31. Can't Be Without You — ...only not, because now you're dependent on each other, and you can't live a life alone or with another.
32. Hard Time Adjusting — It's different living in the free world when you're used to being in a completely controlled habitat.
33. Living a Peaceful Life — You've managed to get past all the challenges and are now living a normal life together. But did the scientists ultimately win? After all, you are still "lifemates"...and there's still the trauma to deal with...
34. ANYTHING ELSE or WILDCARD OPTION!!!

Warren Peace, Sky High M/F

[ex_warandpeace809]

Couldn't resist

[snowedingly]

[[OOC: 21 work for you? It seems appropriate]]

[ex_warandpeace809]

[OOC sure, go for it.]

[snowedingly]

[The first time it happens, she hardly notices. Warren's asleep, and there's only a little bit of snow, barely enough to see. Maybe it gets a bit colder, but she's never been all that sensitive to cold]

[The second time, though, she can't ignore. She's holding a cup of water when ice starts to crawl across the surface, crackling a little as it forms]

[She lets out a little cry, throwing the cup across the room and scrambling back. Specifically, away from him]

[ex_warandpeace809]

[Warren wakes with a start, and sits up quickly while trying to rub the sleep out of his eyes with one hand, and to throw up his hand to stop whatever it was from coming his way and hitting him.

As his hand comes up, he feels this burning sensation on his skin right before his hand bursts out into flames. Then a fireball gets thrown from his hand across the room to hit the far wall before it get snuffed right out. The wall being made of concrete.]

The fuck!! [He states in a hazy sounding voice as he looks across the room in dumbfounded disbelief.[...what was that!

Sorry for the late reply

[snowedingly]

I don't know! [Elsa dived to the side automatically when his fireball hurtles across the room, and now she's lying rather awkwardly half-on her bed, staring at her hand like it's a deadly weapon she's just found with the safety off]

Are... are you okay?

[ex_warandpeace809]

What do you mean you don't know? [He kind of snapped at her, but moreso because he was a bit freaked out about what was happening.]

You mean, this just sprouted up overnight? [His brow was furrowed, eyes almost as black as night. His breathing kept coming in short, but heavy bursts from his adrenaline now pumping.]

Did someone come in here to make this happen? Like, you know, an injection or something?

[snowedingly]

I don't know. [She says it quieter this time, shifting so she's sitting properly on the bed, twisting her hands together in her lap]

[After a moment] It, um. It happened earlier, too. To me. I made it snow.

[ex_warandpeace809]

[He sat up slowly, wiping sleep from his eyes as he did so. Then he raked a hand through his hair, weirdly enough said hand went into flames, and his hair was just fine.

He sighed, resigned himself a bit that this was all too weird. And slid a bit closer to her.]

Hey, sorry. This is all just really fucking weird. [He moved to rub her back, but first made sure his hand was normal before he did so.]

[snowedingly]

[Elsa relaxes just a little into his touch, worrying at her lip]

[Quietly] It's okay. I just... [Her smile is thin and faint] I just don't know what's happening, either. How is this possible?

[What she wants to say is that she's scared. But even brainwashed, there's a deep and intrinsic part of her that won't let her be so upfront about her feelings]

[ex_warandpeace809]

[He relaxed too, and continued to rub her back gently.]

It is just as new, and crazy to me as it is to you. Maybe the food? Someone could have put something in our food? Maybe we are hallucinating here?

We could just be dreaming---a shared dream of sorts?

[snowedingly]

I don't think...

[She bites her lip, looking thoughtfully around the room]

...If this is a dream, it's a very realistic one.

[ex_warandpeace809]

I guess I am just sayin that we are sharing a delusion of some sort.
It could be anything.

[He was trying to be reassuring, but he was pretty positive that he was just sucking at this, but he was not really sure what to do, or to say here.]

I guess I am just saying is that I can't explain it, and don't get it. I don't like feeling weak, and unsure about anything.

[Mind a Stiles?]

[didnt_stay_dead]

[ooc: Would love a Stiles]

[totallynotrobin]

[Stiles wakes slowly, wincing at the bright light. It takes him a second to take stock of himself, slowly sitting up. He's on...what is this? Where is he? Stiles flexes his fingers, making sure everything was in tact but - what was that? Something on his palm?

He's so involved with examining the barcode that he doesn't see the other occupant of the room.]

[didnt_stay_dead]

[The bright light bothers his eyes a bit more than it should and it gets a low growl out of him. However, once his eyes have adjusted he notes the barcode on the palm of his hand and the name under it. Was that who he was? Though to be honest he wasn't sure.

Whatever they did, however they did it... it had to be strong. After all, it's hard to render a werewolf memory-less. Unless, of course, aconite is involved somehow. Though it doesn't take long for him to notice the other man, no... boy. Why was he here?

What exactly was going on?]

[totallynotrobin]

[STILES. he traces the letters gently with the pad of his finger. It had a familiar ring to it, but he couldn't exactly place it. Perhaps it was his name, but Stiles couldn't confirm it from his own memory, which was failing at the moment.

Finally, he looks up, blinking at his surroundings. A white room, pretty barren except for -

Stiles jumps, unable to help himself. He hadn't thought to check if he was alone or not. And the man's eyes were fixed on him. Somehow, it didn't make him feel any better about the situation.]

[didnt_stay_dead]

[Those eyes narrow on the other on the side of the room.]

Who're you?

[It comes out a low growl as he steps further toward him. After all, he needed to find out who the younger was.]

[totallynotrobin]

I - it - I'm -

[Stiles glances back down at his hand.] ...I guess my name is Stiles. Who are you?

[didnt_stay_dead]

[He frowns at the way the other was acting. Like he was scared of something or someone. He looks down at his own hand before looking over at the other.]

Peter, I think.

[totallynotrobin]

[Well he was. Your gaze isn't exactly conducive to comfort, Peter. Besides...he kind of doesn't really remember his own name.]

Peter. [Stiles repeats the name aloud, and can't help but feel it in the familiar sense that he felt the name 'Stiles' in. Hm.] Do I...know you?

[didnt_stay_dead]

[The wolf isn't really worried about what his look does or doesn't do.]

... I'm not sure if you do or not.

[totallynotrobin]

[Of course not. He never was, was he? And Stiles doesn't know where that thought comes from, because he doesn't know Peter.]

I feel like I should. [He admits, leaning back on his forearms.]

[ogreprince]

[Pierre woke up sweating, surprising considering that he felt as cold as ever. He looked out into the dark as to confirm that non of the dark creatures that had chased him in his dream had followed him out of it. Nothing had changed. The room looked the same and Zack were sleeping soundly in the bed. They took turns on who slept on the bed and who slept on the couch.

Pulling his blanket back over him, Pierre tried to fall back asleep. However no matter how tight he wrapped the blanket around himself and no matter how much he curled up he still felt like a block of ice. With a small sigh he stood up and made his way over to the bed. Carefully he slipped into the bed, hoping that his cold body would not wake Zack up. He didn't really wished to discus why he was awake in the first place.]
