Building up new CR can be hard, especially if you're unsure who's interested, or if you're just a little bit shy. Behold a meme designed specifically to get around that.

THE TAG (THREE) NEW PEOPLE MEME


Step One - Post your character, include a prompt if you want, and note your preferences for the random generator part of the meme. Note this meme is designed for any new CR, so while limiting certain aspects of the meme (no to certain prompts, only certain types for sex/shipping, etc) there should be no "canons/ocs/girls/boys only"!

Step Two - Go back three tags above you. If you've never tagged the character you land on, and they have no existing tags on their thread, roll up a prompt and tag them with it. Continue and do this two more times. If you hit the end of the meme, loop back around. If you get caught in an infinite loop, either wait for a new tag-in, or go by every other comment instead.

Step Three - If you can't find someone who hasn't been tagged and you haven't played with, it's fine to tag someone who has been. If you can and you still want to tag a tagged person, go ahead, just don't count it to your three.

Step Four - If you want to, you don't have to stop at just three. Keep looping (or come back later when others have tagged in) as often as you like!

ALTERNATE CHALLENGES
-Tag three characters whose players you do not know.
-Tag three characters whose canons you do not know.
-Tag three characters who you usually wouldn't tag.

As in a crossover meme, this is for tagging people you haven't before. You don't have to strictly follow the tagging pattern if you see other new people you'd like the excuse to tag, but this time is not for tagging people you've had more than one thread with!

Prompts:

TYPE OF SCENE.
① Action → Gun fights, bar brawls, fights to the death are all possible scenarios.
② Angst → Characters suffer emotionally or physically from relationships breaking up, death, injury, etc. Hurt and comfort themes are included.

Juggler rarely let anyone get even remotely close to him. In most cases it was hardly worth it... but it was also rare for someone to approach him the way this man had. A bit suspicious, maybe, but Juggler had quickly decided he didn't mind the company. It was nice, being acknowledged. Just enough to give him hope that this all might work, that maybe Gai would finally break down and acknowledge his strength, too.

For now, he watches from a rooftop as the monster makes its way through the city streets, leaving rubble in its wake. With a victorious chuckle, he waits to see what Gai will do this time.

It takes him longer than he likes to find the particular rooftop where Juggler is watching the chaos from, and he emerges from the fire escape a little behind the other man. He opens his mouth to speak and hesitates. What does he say? How does he stop this?

Levi has absolutely no experience trying to get somebody to stop doing something. All his persuasive charms are geared towards encouraging people to give in to their base desires, to take advantage, to cause the chaos, and he hasn't the slightest idea what to say to make somebody want to stop being evil. And without his powers, it's not like he can even do anything to stop Juggler.

He's well aware of the person emerging onto the rooftop with him, though for a moment he doesn't even look over at him. It's only when Levi fails to say or do anything else that Juggler glances back his way, briefly, and then focuses back on the monster.

"Magnificent, isn't it? My best creation yet."

"It's..." he trails off. Yes it is magnificent, he can't deny that, but he isn't sure admitting it is going to help his goal at all. "It's certainly something." he says instead.

He steps forward a little, hesitating again, could the truth work? It's possible Juggler would work out the implications and turn on him, and without the majority of his powers Levi would be no match for the other man.

"You should stop."

Any potential implications aside, Juggler's sanity had been waning for a long time, and he had staked enough of his pride on these monster attacks that it would take nothing more to get under his skin than the word "stop." Still, his first response wasn't to respond with any kind of violence. No, it was laughter. An unhinged sort that started small and grew into a full cackle.

"Stop?" He turned to Levi, the look of betrayal in his eyes a contrast to the smile on his lips. The one person who had up until now seemed to be on board with all his destructive ideas. He should have known that wouldn't last. And then just as suddenly, the smile faded and his eyes turned cold. "If that's what you came here to tell me, then you shouldn't have wasted your time."

Well. That plan didn't go well at all. He'd been around more than a few unhinged individuals in his many years and he could see all the signs - if he was honest with himself he'd been able to see it coming, he could have stopped it earlier, but he'd overestimated his own control.

"I just think you can do something ... more. Bigger, better, if you just bide your time a little longer..."

There was a bit of a huff at that. "You say that as if this is the last." He punctuated that with a slight sadistic smile, and then added, lightly enough that his tone sounded dangerous by its sheer incongruity. "You really should know better."

And that would be an accurate assessment, because Juggler's ability to move quickly far exceeded that of any human, and Levi would soon find Juggler behind him, one hand on his shoulder, the other holding a sword at his throat. His voice was the same kind of dangerously soft, speaking right into his ear. "Now I'd appreciate knowing what your real reason is."

Levi was about to speak, to explain, when suddenly Juggler was behind him with a blade pressed against his throat. He gritted his teeth, frustrated at how easily he was being bested, at how little he could do in return. He couldn't die, he was almost entirely certain, in fact death would release his soul back to hell and perhaps even undo the bonds placed upon him, leave him free to reclaim his powers and a new form... but while he was almost certain, there was still that remaining doubt, enough to keep him from giving in to death. Besides, to be sent back to hell by a human? Even one as highly powered as Juggler? It would be humiliating.

"...You're doing more damage than you realise, this may be the last..."

Juggler was far from human, though he'd never bothered to point that out. He looked human enough, powers aside. Luckily for Levi, he was more inclined to threaten than to actually try to kill someone, unless they really pushed him to it.

"Is that so? You'll have to explain exactly what you mean by that."

"You're definitely going to destroy the city, maybe even worse... you could be causing enough chaos to destroy the whole world." to be honest the city was annoying enough, there was so much happening here that the assorted demonic powers needed to follow through, but if Juggler did enough damage he might trigger Armageddon, and Hell was not ready for that yet.

[personal profile] de_light 2017-09-25 05:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Hell wasn't ready for that. Oh if only Levi had said that out loud. Not that he needed to, because having someone be actually concerned about Juggler destroying the whole world was enough. He let go of his hold on Levi, enough to take a step back and burst into a moment of completely uncontrollable laughter.

"Bigger and better, you said. What's bigger and better than that?" He brought his hand to his head, curling up in thorough amusement. What an amazing thought. Maybe someday he should thank Levi for the vote of confidence, if nothing else. But when it came down to it, he still couldn't believe it.

Finally coming out of the fit of laughter, he added, more calmly, and with an odd measure of confidence considering everything, "But aren't you underestimating someone?" Ultraman Orb. Kurenai Gai. The exact once-friend who Levi had been playing him against. If anyone would stop that monster, it would be him, and Juggler wouldn't have it any other way. But there was something in the way he said it that might leave Levi defeated in a different sense. Much as Juggler liked to claim he hated Gai would would rather see him dead, that bond was in fact far more difficult to break than Levi might have thought.

This was really not going to plan. Not that he'd had a plan, admittedly. He was skirting the edge of having to admit to Juggler just who and what he really was, and he had no idea if that would even do the trick, it was possible it would just make things worse.

"Don't you want me to think little of him?" he asked with a raised eyebrow "To think that he could not possibly stop you? Do you think he's so much better than you that he will?" he realised too late that goading him was the opposite of what he wanted, but it was so automatic to begin tempting that delicious envy that he couldn't stop himself.
