Fighter/Master Shipping Meme

One small spanner in the works can change nothing and yet everything at the same time. The world you live in is a lot like the normal one. History progresses more or less as it should. Technology flourishes. Empires build upwards, then crumble and fall. The only difference? Somehow, along the way, society has stratified into three categories: Normal: The regular folks. Nothing more, nothing less. Fighters, Berserkers, or Servants: The nomenclature depends on who you ask, but the fact reminds that these people have incredible powers, the nature of which varies yet can range from psychic abilities to resilience to super strength. However, the downside is that, without a "master" (we'll get to that later) as a partner, they can feel listless and not even have control of their powers. Their drive, whether they accept it or not, is to find the true master that will calm them and help them sharpen their abilities - and there is only one, true match. No substitutes accepted, and the longer they hold off on finding their master, the looser their grip becomes. In some parts of society, fighters are considered second class citizens, but this isn't a usual situation. Masters: Think of these folks as focusing lens. They usually have no special powers, but they can hone the abilities of their "servant" to a T. There are a few benefits, including having someone willing to protect...and sometimes, care...for you at all costs. However, the primary benefit is that unpaired masters are often killed off by rogue fighters or forced into bonds that don't work by half-insane ones. Once a master/fighter pair is made, there have been reports of psychic connections and fighters being strengthened by the mere presence of their master, which means pairs ofter live together. This is helpful, because despite the fact that you would think pairs would want to peacefully coexist, there's been strife since, well, before anyone can remember. Other pairs will feel a desire to defend their territory and status, and even non-violent pairs will find themselves attacked. There's One more important thing to note: it's not generally accepted for fighters and masters to be romantically involved. In fact, it's frowned upon. But, given the close living quarters, expectations, bonds, and the fact that no one will be as close or as understanding - ah, it's best to say there's more of a "don't ask, don't tell" policy. Yet as a fighter or a master, you won't fall for your partner... ...will you? HOW TO PLAY Comment with your character, preferences, and their role (fighter, master, normal). Feel free to include as much information as you'd like. Reply to others. RNG to get your prompt! PROMPTS Discovery: You've just found out your status as fighter or master. How do you respond? First Sight: Oh, who is that? Whoever it is, your heart is already racing and your instincts are kicking in. Trying It Out: It's a trial period for your fighter/master pairing, and you must get into sync. Bond: You've decided that this is the forever relationship you want and are prepared for the ceremony, which is, essentially, a blood oath. Not Right: Because of societal pressure or just by being unbonded at the wrong time, you've been forced into a partnership that doesn't work. Aside from being miserable, it could also be dangerous, as the fighter's powers could go haywire. Unhealthy: In this relationship, the fighter is viewed by the master as their property. Or, in the inverse, the master is viewed as weak and resented. Adoration: Unlike the unhealthy relationship, in this bond, the fighter puts the master above all else and quite nearly worships them. Save: You want to take away a fighter or a master because you care for them and their partner isn't treating them well. That's noble...but is it such a good idea? Doting: Some fighters or masters feel the urge to take care of their partner's needs, especially when they forget to take care of themselves. Fluff: There are actually fun, loving moments between the well-adjusted fighter and master, even in the most volatile of scenarios. Calm: It's a rare time of peace where the partners can be almost domestic. Heal: Injuries and mental hurts need to be taken care of, simultaneously strengthening the bond. Assigned: The pairing of you and your fighter or master was not natural. You were picked strategically for each other. Power Up: You have to become stronger. Luckily, you can get power and focus right from the tap. Need: You're desperate for your fighter or master, and your body and mind are rebelling against you because of it. Training: A fighter and master must work as one, and this ability must be practiced. Sense: Your master is in trouble, you can just feel it. Return: You two have been kept apart and are finally able to return to each others' presence. Pose: Actually, you're the opposite of what you're pretending to be - ie, a fighter is really a master - and so is you're partner. You're just posing for some reason or another. Love: You've fallen in love, as it's incredibly hard not to do so, but you must act as if nothing's changed. Public: You can't take it anymore. You two want to be acknowledged as a normal couple, and you want the world to know it. Most Pure Partnering: What better way to hone a fighter's skill than through the ultimate support: sex? The obligatory smut option. Mismatched: You've fallen in love with a fighter when you're a fighter or a master when you're a master. Not in Step: You're a terrible pairing. The two of you together makes no sense at all, but you must make it work. Childhood: From the very beginning of your life, you have been brought up as the perfect fighter or master. Don't Belong: You're normal; the only reason you're involved in all this is because the person you love is a fighter or master. Masters' Privilege: Masters can have a love interest in the "normal world"; fighters cannot. Is this a point of contention between you two? Dark Underbelly: You're a fighter or a master from the part of the world that sees fighters as second class. Can you learn that there's a different way? Jealous: The person you really want isn't your partner. Possession: After seeing the wandering eyes of your partner, you feel the need to remind them that it's you and them against the world. Comfort: The events of the day didn't go as planned, and one of you needs reassuring. Berserk Button: Your master has been threatened. You must destroy anyone who could have harmed them. Can you be brought back from the brink? Unexpected: A master protecting a fighter? Unheard of! Double Trouble: At least one of you in your pair is sadistic and looks for other fighter and master duos to torment, both physically and sexually, even if they don't want to fighter. The other party is willing or at the very least unable to be noncompliant. Attacked: You're a peaceful pair, but you've been sought out and our in danger. Need a Boost: Right in the middle of a fight, the fighter's strength is fading. The master must step in and show support or affection. To Be Left Alone: Your partner is leaving you. It is your duty to convince them to stay. Defeat: The battle didn't go your way. Your partner has been slain in front of your eyes; if you're a master, perhaps it was to get at you. Your humiliation is cinched by your being claimed. Betrayal: In a twist of fate, the one you should trust the most has been working against you this entire time. WILDCARD

"Is it banana?" She asks as she walks out the room carrying the blanket the staff had given her. "Let's go." She grins as they head down the hallway to her new room.

[lotsoflaughs]

"I have never seen banana jello," Gabriel says as a way of saying 'no' as he follows her. She gets to have strawberry.

[huntsdemons]

She sighs gently and offers him a small grin. "That's okay..it was a longshot."

[lotsoflaughs]

"Think getting some actual bananas will help with your banana thing?"

[huntsdemons]

"I don't like actual bananas. I just like banana flavored things...except pudding. I'm sorry. It's okay though. I like other jello just fine."

[lotsoflaughs]

"Want me to see if Dean can get a strawberry banana milkshake past the gauntlet when he shows up?"

[huntsdemons]

"They don't care what I eat, they just want me to eat." Anna admits. "They say I'm underweight." She rolls her eyes lightly and hops up onto her bed once it's settled.

The staff finally have everything settled and leave the siblings alone. It's around 2:30 when Dean appears with the milkshakes and some burgers. Two are for him because he hasn't eaten anything all morning.

[lotsoflaughs]

Gabriel's better be chocolate.

He takes the bag and starts parceling out the fries. "Are the sandwiches all the same?"

[huntsdemons]

"Two of them are doubles. On for both of you as well as a regular one each. Then two are for me." Dean says as he grabs two of the regular burgers. Dean ate a lot for a regular human but not as much as Gabe and Anna.

Anna took one and bit into it, moaning in bliss and practically shaking with delight. "Soooo goood..."

[lotsoflaughs]

"All right." Gabriel forks over the unclaimed burgers before settling in with his own food.

He eats a couple bites of his first burger before giving Anna a teasing grin. "Do we need to give you some alone time with your food?"

[huntsdemons]

Dean did pretty much the same thing and grins at Anna. They both look at Gabe and raise an eyebrow and shrug, going back to their food.

[lotsoflaughs]

Gabriel just rolls his eyes and concentrates on his food. And his chocolate milkshake.

[huntsdemons]

"Nice room, Anna. Bet it's nice to be able to get up and use the bathroom without needing an escort." Dean jokes.

"You have no idea." She replies then is silent until she finishes a burger. "How many are coming tonight?" She asks in regards to the candidates.

"25 I think. It will be the same as last night, just feeling through the door so it's not overwhelming."

[lotsoflaughs]

"I'm guessing the difference in numbers is because more people have had time to arrive?" Gabriel says after he finishes his mouthful of burger.

[huntsdemons]

"That and because we're sure you can handle it." Dean grins at Anna who blushes lightly. She knows how serious this is and while she really doesn't want it still, she knows the alternative isn't good at all.

[lotsoflaughs]

Gabriel would like to not get his sister back just to lose her. That would majorly blow.

Gabriel frowns in thought slightly as he chews on his next bite. "I feel stupid not thinking of this earlier, but has your brother found someone yet?"

[huntsdemons]

Dean winces slightly. "Sam came in the rounds last night." He admits and starts on his second burger. "A friend of mine, Trent, just got back into town this morning, he's coming by tonight to try. He's really a great guy, he works at the Children's Hospital down on 6th and Franklin. He's a NICU Doctor."

[lotsoflaughs]

"There went that thought. I figured that since sometimes when a master/fighter pair has siblings, those siblings end up pairing up too..." he lets trail off with a shrug.

[huntsdemons]

"Believe me, I was hoping for that too."

[lotsoflaughs]

Gabriel makes a faint grumbling sound before starting to work on his fries, having ignored them in favor of one of his burgers.

[huntsdemons]

'Hey, you okay?' Dean asks through their bond so as to not alert Anna. She was happily munching away and enjoying her milk shake with relish.

[lotsoflaughs]

'Yeah. Just woulda been nice if Sam was the right pick, since then the two of us would be able to see each other often instead of her potentially going to another state entirely.' He picks at his fries a bit before making himself eat more so as not to let Anna see that something was bothering him.

[huntsdemons]

'Hey, you could still be. Don't fret over it right now. Let's just concentrate on her being safe and comfortable right now.' Dean says gently through their link.

[lotsoflaughs]

Gabriel just gives Dean a skeptical look before unwrapping his second burger to work on it. "So, getting something resembling full?"

[huntsdemons]

"Yeah...Dean is there anymore ice cream?" She asks him once her shake runs out. "I'll go see what I can do." He laughs lightly and takes his drink with him. He's gone for about five minutes or so and then returns with another milk shake for her. He'd managed to sweet talk the nursing staff into letting him get another for her from the staff lounge.

"I'm sorry to say it's vanilla, but it is a milk shake." Dean says handing her the cup. She takes it willingly with a nod and sucks from the straw happily.

"Thank you, Dean."
