1. INJURY. You've been injured. Broken bones or bleeding out or maybe just a tiny little papercut. The choice is yours.
2. SICKNESS. You're sick and laid up in bed, at home or in a hospital. The severity is up to you.
3. FEAR/ANXIETY. Something is happening and you're scared beyond belief.
4. LOSS OF SENSES. Sight, touch, taste, hearing, smell, etc. You've lost some important sense or ability and now you're left to deal with it.
5. DESPAIR. Nothing is good or right anymore and you can't shake the depression. Maybe that friend of yours can help though...
6. BREAKUP. You've been dumped. You need someone to comfort you, possibly by the one who dumped you.
7. MAKE UP. Fight or break up, it's time to makeup.
8. RESCUED. You've just been held captive and/or tortured for however long and finally, someone has come to the rescue.
9. BAD ROMANCE. Fight, cheated on, abused, whatever the case is, someone else can clearly see you need comfort from someone who isn't your terrible lover tonight.
10. LOSS. You've experience a loss of some kind and need help getting through it.
11. INSANITY. You're seeing things that aren't really there, hearing voices, or you're just convinced you're at your wit's end finally and you're going to crack. Maybe someone can give you a helping hand.
12. TIRED. You've had a heard life recently and you're just worn too thin to really care anymore. There's no fight left in you anymore. Can someone help change your mind?
13. ADDICTION. Drugs, alcohol, sex, gambling, or any other type of addiction has got you in its grasp. First time or relapse. Will someone be able to save you?
14. INSOMNIA. You can't sleep anymore, no matter how hard you try. Maybe someone can give you company.
15. NIGHTMARES. Or, on the other end of the spectrum, you can't sleep without gruesome, horrible nightmares. Either someone is stuck in your dream with you, witnessing it or they're just waking you up, soothing you out of it.
16. BLACKMAIL. You've been caught doing something you shouldn't and you were blackmailed because of it
17. SEPARATION. You're going to be separated for awhile or were separated for a long time. Either make up for lost time or try to spend every last moment together.
18. VIOLATED. You've been violated in some way. Can include sexual overtones or not. Can someone help you through it?
19. STRANDED. You've been stranded somewhere remote, with no help of anyone finding you for awhile. Can you survive this together?
20. SINS. You're feeling the weight of your sins and guilt clearer than ever. Can someone give you absolution or lessen the ache any?
21. SECRET. It's difficult having to keep that secret of yours, be it a relationship or something you just don't want to share with anybody else. Maybe it's okay to talk about it now though...
22. ADDITION. Babies should be joyous things unless you're in a situation where you know you won't be able to care for them. Either you've adopted or found out you're pregnant.

[ I wasn't gonna do this but then I saw this. Yes/no/thoughts? ]

[can be the h or the c w/e w/e it's all good]

[Any preferences?]

[[ooc: give me lots of both, if you've a mind.]]

[ I'm thinking no 13, and 18 is a hard no with sexual overtones but mind manipulation blowback is AOK. ]

Ben sat on the couch, head in his hands. It seemed like everyone was screaming their thoughts to the world tonight. He had barely managed to get through the opening night at the opera, mostly because he barely spoke to anyone. It was nearly impossible to tell what was actually spoken and what was said aloud. He just wished it everyone else would stop thinking so he could hear his own thoughts.

[any canonpoint, medium to longer tags preferred]

[ ota. ]

( ooc ; prefer she be the one comforted, but good with either role. )

[Comforter or comforted, happy to write either role - she's been both many times in canon, both in gen scenarios as a physician/parental figure/friend as well as romantic. Let me know if you'd prefer her in the 1700s, the 1900s, or something else entirely! For folks from her canon, I'm happy to roll with whatever point in canon you'd like to play from.]

[ ooc; maybe some fix-it au where GM pulled Erik out of death to a nearby place? Keeping their silly previous text convo, or else this is totally a first time meeting for them both, whichever you would prefer! If you're down with this at all! ]
