THE DEFENESTRATION MEME

All of my friends are enablers, I swear.

The Defenestration Meme
...it seemed like a good idea at the time.




de·fen·es·tra·tion
noun
the act of throwing a thing or especially a person out of a window: the defenestration of the commissioners at Prague.

- Post with your character.
- Reply to other characters.
- If you need a prompt, hit up the RNG and...

1. You are about to defenestrate yourself. Is this a suicide attempt? Is it merely because you need a quick exit and fortunately the building is only one or two stories tall so it's not that much in the way of defenestration? Well. Either way, you're about to throw yourself out of a window and somebody caught you in the act.
2. You're defenestrating your/someone else's belongings. Is it because it's a messy break-up? Is it a fit of rage? It doesn't matter, because unless someone actively stops you you'll end up defenestrating the contents of the entire room.
3. You're defenestrating/defenestrated a helpless NPC! Or maybe they're not so helpless. They could be an assassin or something.
4. You're defenestrating the person who replied to you! (In the event that person happens to be your long lost brother, your beloved mother, your one true love, or someone equally close to you, you may assume that mind control was involved.)

(...it feels kind of weird to only have only four RNG prompts, but there's only so many ways to throw something out of a window. I mean, really.)

- And kick ass and take names.

[With a short, irritable exhale of breath, he stops. He'd worked himself near to the point of exhaustion, anyway, so he sits on one of the crates that he didn't throw out the window.] And who are you? [He rasps.] And what is a suntanning booth?
herotypical: [ angry ; sad ; neutral ] (✝  the men cry out)

...You don't know? Dear, God. Don't tell me that's natural.

[ creepy tan? spooky eyes? wacky robe? oh, this just screams magical. she crosses her arms over her chest. ]

Buffy. Buffy Summers. And you are?

[He glares.] I am Raistlin Majere, and there is little left of me that's natural.
herotypical: (✝ try to break a gold rule)

[personal profile] herotypical 2012-01-02 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
...Addicted. To the magics. Aren't you?

[ she's seen it before. ]
hourglass_twin: (Almost Smile)

[personal profile] hourglass_twin 2012-01-02 04:43 am (UTC)(link)
Addicted? [He stands again.] I am the magic. It flows through me, consumes me as I consume it. It is every bit as much a part of me as a hand or a foot, more so, it is my strength.

[Suddenly, he starts coughing, and a bit of blood comes up. Perhaps he's exerted himself a bit too much...]

I wouldn't expect someone without magic to understand.
herotypical: [ snarky ; angry ] (✝ with some australians)

[personal profile] herotypical 2012-01-02 04:45 am (UTC)(link)
You are the magic? Please. Like I haven't heard that one before.

[ but her eyes narrow at the sight of blood. ]

In the same way that all who wield magic are one with it.
herotypical: [ snarky ] (✝ blow a thousand deutschmarks)

[personal profile] herotypical 2012-01-02 12:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Nah, see -- I've been friendly with all kinds of magic-users in my time and strange eyes? [ she leans in, examining his more closely. ] Always a bad sign.
hourglass_twin: (Smile)

[personal profile] hourglass_twin 2012-01-02 12:21 pm (UTC)(link)
The eyes? You think I've made my own eyes like this? [He lets out a short, high pitched, wheezing asthmatic laugh that's followed by a few bloody coughs.] No, the eyes are a curse. They force me to see time as it effects all things, I see the world aging, dying, decaying before my eyes. I see your own rotting out of their sockets.
herotypical: [ angry ; sad ] (✝ dance till your dead)

[personal profile] herotypical 2012-01-02 12:24 pm (UTC)(link)
What? Is that supposed to freak me out? [ there is a tremor to her voice, but not at the POSSIBILITY of rotting. ]

Because it doesn't. [ she came to life, once, six feet underground. all corpse and dessication. trying to breathe before her lungs reformed. she knew what it was like to rot already. ]

A curse, then. Who cursed you?
hourglass_twin: (Smug)

[personal profile] hourglass_twin 2012-01-02 10:26 pm (UTC)(link)
I doubt you'd know him. He's not from around here. Neither am I, for that matter.
herotypical: [ snarky ; pout ] (✝ and i could work weekends)

[personal profile] herotypical 2012-01-03 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
Nor I. Me? I'm in town on business. Preferably brief business. But then I walked by and I saw all the...window-chucking and -- hell, what can I say? I'm a curious kinda gal.

[personal profile] hourglass_twin 2012-01-03 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
I think I'm from a little farther away. To be honest, I don't actually know where here is. I ended up here after a spell gone...haywire. However, since I don't even know what half the things I threw out the window even were, that seems to indicate that I'm definitely in the wrong place, and possibly in the wrong time, hence my frustration.
herotypical: [ neutral ; uncertain ; action ] (✝ chosen-y)

[personal profile] herotypical 2012-01-03 01:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, you do look a little...medieval. No -- uhm -- offense.

[personal profile] hourglass_twin 2012-01-03 10:55 pm (UTC)(link)
None taken, though I'm not entirely familiar with the term.
herotypical: [ happy ] (✝ we have found our solace here)

[personal profile] herotypical 2012-01-04 02:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Well? Look it up and you'd see your own picture next to it.

"I...see." He simply looks vaguely confused.
