The Possession Meme

The world beyond - some people linger far longer than they should. Perhaps you've gone to the wrong place at the wrong time. Perhaps you were stupid enough to invoke ritual. Maybe you decided to let someone else muck about your brain and now find yourself with someone -- or something -- sharing your body.

Bust out RNG and go crazy

 

Triggers possible below the cut. Enjoy!

WHAT:

1: DEMONIC; yeah, something from the bowels of hell is currently shacking up in your body. This is not a good thing. It probably has an ulterior motive. Worse, you may be aware of every terrible, horrible thing it's doing in the name of it's unholy master.

2: ANGELIC; angels need vessels to do certain works, this is usually less possession and more partnership, but it could be a long term thing you can't escape. Either way, angels may not be the most welcome of partners-- especially if they're angels of the lord's wrath, or death...

3: SPIRIT; perhaps you invoked Unknown Power or maybe a Loa rides you now as it's servant, asking you to honor it and gain it's bounty. Either way, it's pulling your strings as often as you are.

4: GHOST; possessed by the long dead means that you probably believe that you're that person, that their force of personality has overcome your own and now, they must mete our some revenge or perhaps, see some long forgotten work finished. Hope it's benign...

5: TECHNOLOGIC; it's not a ghost, no! You've somehow become overwritten by an AI, or perhaps you volunteered to have another personality put into your body as a means of control computers, or maybe you've becoming the ghost in the machine through a freak accident with no flesh of your own, but instead, wires and cables and the internet at your mental command.

6: WILDCARD; angels, animal spirits, elemental spirits, and other types not covered here, or figure osmething out on your own.


WHY:


1: LOVE; maybe it craves it, maybe it wants to see it live, maybe you're supposed to guide two lovers to be together-- but LOVE drives this spirit.

2: LUST; the obligatory smut prompt. The spirit craves the flesh, and all it's pleasures. Who can blame it, really?

3: HATE; this is an angry spirit - an unchecked demon or a psychopathic spirit, or a spirit who demands blood for the blood gods! Either way, you're going to be causing harm, seeking a vent for all this pent up hate.

4: GRIEF; this creature is full of sorrow; a ghost may simply want forgiveness for past sins, while a demon may wish to drive a man to suicide by ruining his life. Either way, sorrow is at the root of it's problems.

5: WORK; it's not finished! Whether it's a temple or a great piece of art, a final work is undone. Will the demon ride you until the last artifact is found and it's dread master come to earth? Or will the AI run your weak flesh to exhaustion trying to save the world?

6: JOY; it's free, it's free! Now, to dance, frolic and sing! To make merry and to bring joy! Maybe the angel that rides you exists to bring good works to mankind and create miracles? Maybe a benign spirit simply wants to make people happy has partnered with you and shared it's gifts and secrets. Either way, it's not so bad having this particular bodily roommate.

7: MISCHIEF; Peeves the Poltergeist tips his hat to your ride! They like to make trouble. Maybe a lost child that died before its' time now rides your skin and uses your body to create pranks and silliness. Maybe the loa demand that people lighten the fuck up. Who can say. They're hard to understand, those spirits.



8: IT'S COMPLICATED: some spirits are a pain in the ass, and it's hard to tell what they want. It's a wildcard option. Go for it.

Er, right, because most people don't have crazy Gods visiting them.

[he considered whether or not Loki was telling the truth. But God of Lies, kinda made it hard to believe the guy]

[thatboyisamonster]

Stark, this is serious. If you're not willing to believe me, then believe the facts.

[gold_titanium_man]

The only facts that I see is that the God of Lies is telling me that there is magic around me. [he manages to sound sarcastic for the entire thing. But there's also a worry, what if Loki is right?]

[thatboyisamonster]

Not just around.

[ coming closer ]

[gold_titanium_man]

[he's starting to feel cornered and he does not like that at all]

You know, you could just say it from over there, no need to get in my personal bubble.

[thatboyisamonster]

Stop whining.

You're infected.

[gold_titanium_man]

With what? And I'm not whining. I don't whine. [he is so not pouting]

[thatboyisamonster]

Yes, you are.

To the question and statement.

[gold_titanium_man]

You need to start making sense. I got the whole diva thing, but this... not making sense.

[thatboyisamonster]

I'm not making sense?

[gold_titanium_man]

Of course you're not! Unless you're looking to kidnap me and then I don't know why you even bothered to talk.

[thatboyisamonster]

I'm not the one infected with magic and hiding in my . . . whatever you call this.

[gold_titanium_man]

Hiding my what? All I'm trying to do is get away from the super-villain that tossed me from a window. [truth]

[thatboyisamonster]

If I wanted to destroy the Avengers, I assure you, I wouldn't start with the man who dresses himself in a tin can.

[gold_titanium_man]

Why not?! I'm clearly the best looking and smartest of the bunch.

[thatboyisamonster]

And clearly the most delusional.

[gold_titanium_man]

Delusional? I'm only speaking the facts!

[thatboyisamonster]

Then why are you here, oh competent and fabulous one, instead of your adoring fans?

[gold_titanium_man]

Because I was enjoying a day at home. Thinking about doing some upgrading or inventing or both.

[thatboyisamonster]

And you don't find that uncharacteristic at all.

[gold_titanium_man]

You know you're totally right. I don't enjoy spending days at a time locked in my workshop not even remembering to eat or sleep. [total sarcasm]

[thatboyisamonster]

This is not your workshop, Stark.

[gold_titanium_man]

No, but my workshop is right downstairs and I was heading to it.

[thatboyisamonster]

All right. Then go.

[gold_titanium_man]

But you're here and I will not show you my workshop.
