coming to you from the depths of bakerstreet with another oldie, let's break it down
the broken meme.
You may once have been a great hero, or a modest regular person. But something has pushed you past the limit. There's simply no going back to who you used to be. To be seen now, your friends, your family, would they even recognize you? Your savior was too late. The pain was too much. The pleasure was too intense. You've been short-circuited.
You're broken.
1. Post with the usual stuff! Note your preferences, if there are any options you aren't okay with, etc. You can mix/change/double-up on the prompts at your leisure.
2. Reply to others, work out who's having the breakdown if needed, thread it out.
C. Probably some triggers involved here. Read at your own discretion.
You've been pushed beyond your limits and become light-headed, 'floaty'. The sight of your own blood doesn't provoke a reaction anymore, and seeing a friend might cause you to smile, or talk strangely. You might not even recognize them. It doesn't hurt anymore. It's all right now.
2. Lust.
No, no, no became yes, yes, yes. Dignity and self-respect have faded, replaced by an insatiable and alien feeling of want. You've reached a point where shame doesn't even occur to you anymore. Your eyes seem out of focus and your smile doesn't look right. Look, I've made so many friends who like me...! Do anything to me if it feels good.
3. Shock.
What has been seen cannot be unseen. A revelation about a friend, a loved one, an enemy- something has shocked you in a way you can never reverse. It may change not only the way you look at someone or something, but also the way you see the rest of your life. I saw nothing, I saw nothing, I saw...
4. Oppressed.
What's it like outside my cage? Your spirit of rebellion or confidence has been cracked, and your rescuers might not be there in time to salvage what's left of your spirits. You've long since accepted that getting away from this situation is impossible- Perhaps you've even become attached to it as the only way to live life. Yes, sir. No, sir. Sorry, sir.
5. Corruption.
Something has eroded you. You're not like you used to be. You're obsessive, your face is darker. You may even see who you were before as weak or useless. Whether it's a magic ring or Phazon infecting your body, you're going grimdark and it's looking a little too late to pull you out of it. This power is far greater than what I had before! To think I used to believe in justice!
6. Hysteria.
When you talk, you don't make any sense. Pure Charisma Break. Maybe you were a god stripped of your might, or you've suffered a terrible defeat. Either way your ego has snapped, leaving you a total mess and unable to function. But how could this be? How could I lose?!
7. Desperation.
Where before you were airy, confident, in control of yourself, you're now a ragged and fuming pile of hopeless anger. As a fighter you may have been careful or even graceful; now you swing wildly, strike without precision. You simply cannot accept the situation, cannot accept your own fall. It's not over! I'm still in control! I can still fix everything!
8. Grief.
The loss is too great, the sorrow too heavy to hold and you've given in to despair. Your heart is shattered, leaving you frozen in grief or a blubbering mess. It doesn't seem worth it to keep going. How could you leave without me? I can't go on without you.

also i think so HAHAHA would you mind if i friended you on plurk?? ]
no subject
plurk party!! ))
let me know if you'd like changes small or major
it's something in the air, and it's in Roman's halting announcement: 'Don't panic, it's nothing major, but we've been detecting fluctuations of mana throughout the building. Er. We're not sure how this happened or what exactly the effects might be, but don't worry! Everything will be back to normal soon. Uh. But maybe stay away from Ritsuka Fujimaru for the time being. Just in case you're affected! Actually, maybe it's better if you just stay in your rooms.'
and that's it. Hector sighs, shakes his head. ] That guy could stand to be a little more straightforward.
[ Hector doesn't like the situation, but he's also not too keen on going back to his room. a certain someone found out where he resides and has been hounding him for the past several days. if he stays away from his room, takes a casual stroll, Hector has a better chance of avoiding Achilles. and walking is good for the circulation, good for the muscles, so it's really a win all around.
or it's a win all around until a sound cuts the air, a shout or a sound or a choking laugh, it's hard to say which. and okay, you hear a lot of strange things with so many Servants in one place, but this sound (does it have something to do with that announcement?) sets his nerves on end. something's not right here maybe, probably.
it's a threat.
it's none of his business.
it could be just a normal sound. could be a Berserker. that doesn't feel right, and even Berserkers howl for their own reasons, don't they?
it's someone who might need help.
whatever the case, Hector decides it's a variable he shouldn't leave alone. won't leave alone. though he keeps his casual posture, Hector is all alertness as he approaches. ]
Someone there?
