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.

Probably 1, but written vaguely enough to be others / 1 + others if you'd like them to be

[zealots]

Before today, he had never thought a mere human could possibly defeat him, mutate or no. A boy possibly beating him, inconceivable. And yet it almost happened.

They needn't have even come to blows. It wasn't him Exodus had come to New York City for, he who had alone among the mutates decided to use his powers for the public good. He would have been just as happy to go down the list of names he had been sent here to slay, these mutates who Magnus had decided were too dangerous to live. Curt Connors. Maxwell Dillon. William Baker. Otto Octavius.

Harry Osborn.

It had been Harry that he had resolved to slay first, after making an example of his pawn Sytsevich, and Harry that Spider-Man had showed up to save. The misguided fool. He was doing the lad a favor, he should have stepped back and let him do his work, but of course he had not. No, he had fought. Fought, and even driven him off with clever use of the half-wrecked Ravencroft Institute's security protocols. But the boy Harry had escaped in the confusion too, and from there it had been a frenzied race to see who could find Osborn first.

Ultimately, it had been Spider-Man who had, using his personal knowledge of who Harry Osborn once had been. He'd gone in alone, heedless to the force Osborn had been assembling to mastermind his demise, and almost been killed. That the boy still lived was only due to his mercy and his power -- it had been he who had arrived at the pivotal moment, when Osborn's mercenaries were about to finish their prey off. He had disabled them all, holding nothing back, and was preparing to finish off the lot of them.

And then was when the boy got up and starting swinging. Again.

Yes, he'd underestimated Spider-Man, and yes, he'd paid the price. Boy or no, Spider-Man was no fool, and had learned much from their first encounter. At range the wall-crawler was no threat to him, but up close? Up close those punches hurt, and he'd actually been brought out of the skies and to his hands and knees before he'd decided he'd had enough. Up to that point he'd been fighting Spider-Man purely physically, and then only to disable, but being brought low like that had sparked base instincts he'd forgotten he still had. The attack he'd struck Spider-Man with just now had been a vicious one, telepathic, one that could well have erased his mind altogether. The boy's picked himself up now, so he's not catatonic, but he seems to be disoriented, sightless perhaps.

For now, Exodus is simply glad for the reprieve. He's picking himself up too, panting, his body bruised and battered from the fight.
