The Monster & the Maiden Fair
There's a long precedent in folklore and myth of beautiful young people - both men and women - being kidnapped by monsters: dragons, beasts, goblins, demons, elves, vampires, wolves, or even evil humans. In the end, however, these prisoners are almost always rescued and brought back to civilization to live a normal and happy life.
But what if they didn't want to leave their jailor?
They've seen behind the surface and have begun to sympathize with this "monster;" no, more than that, they've fallen for them. Will this story have a happy ending? Will the monster believe that anyone could love them? Most importantly, though, can the two of them be left alone without any attempts at a "rescue?"
how to play
- Comment with your character, your preference, and what role they'll play. Feel free to AU characters to your desire role.
- Reply to others.
- Thread anything that could remotely fit under the umbrella theme. Was the kidnapping just that, or did both parties know (and care) for each other before, making it a collaborative, mutual effort? Perhaps you'd prefer to play the actual Beauty and The Beast-style getting to know each other or seeing behind the grizzly facade. What about an attempted "rescue?" Or maybe you could thread out a scene where the prisoner runs away from the society they were forced back into and returns to their beloved beast! It's all up to you. You could even do smut if you wanted to, but this isn't a smut meme.

she smiles seductively, beckoning patchouli closer with her posture, then moves and brushes right past her with a smile.] Which is why I'm going to go lay on the couch. [she looks over her shoulder, a playful glint in her eye.]
no subject
Patchouli turned to her, smiling a little.]
Naturally. [So she drifts over to Milly, sitting beside her if given a chance.]

there's no need to tease patchouli-- she'll get whatever she wants in the end-- but it's still damn fun. lifting her arms above her head to stretch as she approaches the couch, she squeaks a little then drapes herself on the couch. for a moment, she just lays there, then looks up at the ceiling, her voice thoughtful.]
...What if they did find us, though? Just once. What would you do?
no subject
You know, I don't really know. I hadn't planned ahead that much. Maybe let them catch us in situation that looked like a bit of a role reversal, or something? That maybe you had taken control of the situation? I don't know.
What about you? What would you do?
no subject
I always imagine me having to fight them off, to prove I want to stay. But I'm sure I'd be able to convince them to walk away. We'd manage it together.
Though, are you saying I'm not in control? Tsk, tsk.

[look at that shiteating grin. someone's proud of that joke.]

I suppose that would work, yes. If they gave us the time to prepare for that.
