Sensory Deprivation Meme

[thelongcon]

the SENSORY DEPRIVATION meme:
You know those things you rely on to navigate you properly through life?
Senses? Yeah, well, kiss those goodbye.



(TRIGGER WARNING: This meme deals with the loss of senses:
blindness, inability to feel. If the concept of blindness, deafness
and/or the loss of any of your senses bothers you, please do NOT play this meme)

✖ Post with your character name/fandom/options for scenarios
(ie; het/slash fluff/smut) and your prompt.
✖ Use RNG to pick your numbers.
1-5 for regular senses, 6-10 for moral sense, 11-16 for cracky senses.

The Basic Five

1. Sense of Sight - Whether you woke up that way, had an accident, a brain tumor expanded or you had a bad reaction to something, you're now blind. Fully and completely. Watch out for that bu--*wince*

2. Sense of Smell - Did someone step in dog crap? It could be you, but you'd never know. You've lost your sense of smell. I guess there's no stopping by the roses for you, huh?

3. Sense of Hearing - "I'M NOT YELLING!!" Yes, yes you are. And no matter how loud you crank AC/DC, you're never hearing Highway to Hell again. Guess I shouldn't have gotten you the Stones compalition CD's, huh?

4. Sense of Taste - No, it doesn't taste like chicken. In fact, it doesn't taste like anything. Perfect time to get that friend that burns everything to cook for you - at least it'll make them happy and you can smile through the whole ordeal.

5. Sense of Touch - Where'd you get that bruise? Or that gaping knife wound? No clue. You have utterly lost the ability to feel anything, like your body is enveloped in fuzzy packing tape. Punch the wall all you want, you ain't gonna feel anything.

The Guiding Factors

6. Sense of Right and Wrong - Tripping people that get in your way? Taking candy from babies? Killing someone that hurt you and yours? All sound like pretty good ideas right about now. Your entire moral code has been thrown into the 'grey' area. There is no right or wrong, only what you want.

7. Sense of Decency - Things that just 'aren't done' are in play for you now. Evicting old ladies and orphans because they can't pay? Pff. Good. Lousy Mooching leeches. Hitting on that underage and naive little thing? Puh-leeze, they're an easy mark. Deflower, deport and debauch yourself to your heart's content.

8. Sense of Self - You don't even know who you are anymore. What are you doing with your life? What's it all mean? What the hell's it for? Why even bother to get up in the morning? Are you going to go try and 'find' yourself? Or just give up?

9. Sense of Preservation - Your life? Means about as much as a mouse fart. Why should you step out of the way of that speeding train? You were there first. Mouthing off to that huge, angry, overpumped steroid-faced goon sounds like a good idea too. He took your seat. And he smells.

10. Sense of Empathy - That ability that lets you put yourself in the shoes of others, to relate to them? Gone. No, you don't know what they're feeling, and quite frankly, you don't want to. You have your own things to deal with, and they're much more important. Why? Because they're yours.

The Quirky Ones

11. Sense of Humor - Wait, am I supposed to laugh now? You have to take your cue from those around you, laughing when they do, usually a little bit late and a little too long. Not even a fart joke will crack a smile.

12. Sense of Direction - You couldn't find your ass with both hands. Literally. You tried. And wound up getting thrown in the clink for inappropriate conduct with a nun. Don't drop the soa-- Too late.

13. Sense of Modesty - So what if you're using a belt as a skirt. It looks good, right? Bending over and showing off too much isn't an issue for you, neither is changing in the middle of the store if you just have to wear that cute little shirt now.

14. Sense of Fashion - Yes, you think a pink polka-dotted bikini top goes just smashingly with the neon green bellbottoms. Bubblewrap tops? Freakin' awesome. Put it on and flaunt it, and watch people's eyes bleed.

15. Sense of Timing - "What do you mean now's a bad time?" Yes, because you think trying to pick up a girl at her husband's funeral is a good thing. What? She's single. You're late to everything. A clock? Wassat? Strange, foreign words...

16. Mix and Match - You poor bastard, you've lost more than one sense. 2? 3? The whole lot? Who knows, that's up to you.

Sherlock Holmes | Sherlock (BBC)

[consulting_freak]

[Either or both characters can lose one or more senses. I'm not picky.]

[missthewoman]

[This might be more than a little cracked, but if you want to try...]

[Your next client has arrived.
Assisted up the stairs by Mrs. Hudson, she shows the woman to the client's chair then bustles off.

Irene smooths her blue silk dress as best she can by feel and waits for a sound to cue her as to where to turn her head. She focuses most of her attention on keeping her face impassive, belying none of the tension she feels at having lost her sight, or her sense of direction so badly that she ended up here of all places.
Ever one to make the best of any situation, however, she rather hopes that the resident of this flat can assist her. Indeed, she expects it of him.]

[rossiya_matushka]

Billy Kaplan | Marvel 616 | ota, m/m for shipping

[noassgardian]

[He'd absolutely hate losing his hearing.]

...I really need to stop doing this. Deafness, you say?

[realitywarped]

[Loki's been doing a lot of sneaking into Billy's room recently, first with his return and then with the binding spell, but he can't get Billy to answer his phone and he isn't responding to texts, so what else is the god of trickery meant to do?

Well, he could cast some kind of tracking spell and then hunt him down, but he's pretty sure Billy might find that creepy. And at least he's sneaking in in daylight, when Billy's likely to be awake.

He also shouldn't be worried about Billy. Billy is perfectly capable of looking after himself, and a couple of days without contact isn't exactly many, not when Loki's vanished for months before, but... Billy isn't Loki, and even if he can't take the call then, he usually manages to contact Loki before too long.

...He really should have waited for the weather to clear up, though. As it is, he's soaked.

He's just reaching to knock on the window when he realises Billy is right there, staring through it. Instead, he waves, although... why is Billy just staring? It's not usual, and that makes Loki... concerned.]

Hunter | Beastly

[losthunter]

((Hunter is already dealing with a loss of Sense of Self. So continued scenes would be appropriate. But also up for other prompts. M/M for ships))

[mygame]

[Jackson. The one it never got to meet. You game?]

Balem Abrasax | Jupiter Ascending | OTA

[entitles]

snow white | dictatorial grimoire

[poisonblooms]

The Eleventh Doctor || Doctor Who

[makeherblue]

[None of the quirky ones, down with trying out the others!

Long prose preferred, assumed cr preferred]

Thor Odinson | Marvel-616 | OTA

[mountainstomove]

[We've seen what he's like with no sense of right, wrong, or decency, and he's kind of going through a loss of his sense of self as of his current canon. So we could definitely play more off of any of those. Otherwise, particularly interested in sight, hearing, taste, or touch. Not really feeling any of the quirky ones.]

sight & self if you'd like a second one

[voluptuous]

[ the sudden rumbling of thunder is what makes bayonetta curiosity bite, already feeling the familiar cold wind of rain coming in. unexpected, just like the magic that tingles her skin. it's unfamiliar, the kind of magic that she doesn't even recall five hundred years earlier. there's something ancient about it, and the witch cannot put a finger on what it is. not even her farthest memory gives her a clue. it's a completely new experience and there's no promise that it may even be good.

how exciting, she thinks as her red lips form a smile.

it takes an hour for her to reach the source of magic, hiding behind the curtain of purgatorio because she doesn't plan on getting caught just yet. there's absolutely no hesitance from the start of her search, being more intrigued than frightened of a mysterious prospect at the end of the road. there's some hope that whatever she finds, it either gives her a wonderful new look or a fight. adventures are exciting that way.

the grassy field is empty, save for a figure up in the distance. all she see's so far is red and gold and — is that a hammer? ]

What on earth...?

[ she asks herself, hands on her hips as heeled feet walk closer for an inspection. she assumes that he cannot hear her because mortals of earth cannot hear between the realms.

gods, however, are a different situation. ]

Peter Quill || Guardians of the Galaxy MCU

[volumeone]

[Long prose preferred, assumed cr preferred. No bar/Milano setting]

Cole | Dragon Age: Inquisition | OTA

[keepmekept]

((ooc: Cole without his sense of empathy might genuinely be a demon. So that would be particularly interesting to play out! Otherwise, he's actually missing a lot of the Quirky ones already (besides modesty), and I'd also be particularly interested in playing out one from the basic five, too. AUs and assumed CR welcome, as well as castmates!))

((ooc: open. no quirky prompts. can start.

can be the one affected.))

Eas | Fresh Pretty Cure | ota

The Nogitsune | Teen Wolf | OTA for gen, m/m for other

AkaRed - Boukenger Vs Super Sentai/Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger - Open To Anyone
