Sensory Deprivation Meme

[alkali]

 the SENSORY DEPRIVATION meme:
You know those things you rely on to navigate you properly through life?
Senses? Yeah, well, kiss those goodbye.

(TRIGGER WARNING: This meme deals with the loss of senses:
blindness, inability to feel. If the concept of blindness, deafness
and/or the loss of any of your senses bothers you, please do NOT play this meme)


✖ Post with your character name/fandom/options for scenarios
(ie; het/slash fluff/smut) and your prompt.
✖ Use RNG to pick your numbers. 
1-5 for regular senses, 6-10 for moral sense, 11-16 for cracky senses.

The Basic Five

1. Sense of Sight - Whether you woke up that way, had an accident, a brain tumor expanded or you had a bad reaction to something, you're now blind. Fully and completely. Watch out for that bu--*wince*

2. Sense of Smell - Did someone step in dog crap? It could be you, but you'd never know. You've lost your sense of smell. I guess there's no stopping by the roses for you, huh?

3. Sense of Hearing - "I'M NOT YELLING!!" Yes, yes you are. And no matter how loud you crank AC/DC, you're never hearing Highway to Hell again. Guess I shouldn't have gotten you the Stones compalition CD's, huh?

4. Sense of Taste - No, it doesn't taste like chicken. In fact, it doesn't taste like anything. Perfect time to get that friend that burns everything to cook for you - at least it'll make them happy and you can smile through the whole ordeal.

5. Sense of Touch - Where'd you get that bruise? Or that gaping knife wound? No clue. You have utterly lost the ability to feel anything, like your body is enveloped in fuzzy packing tape. Punch the wall all you want, you ain't gonna feel anything.

The Guiding Factors

6. Sense of Right and Wrong - Tripping people that get in your way? Taking candy from babies? Killing someone that hurt you and yours? All sound like pretty good ideas right about now. Your entire moral code has been thrown into the 'grey' area. There is no right or wrong, only what you want.

7. Sense of Decency - Things that just 'aren't done' are in play for you now. Evicting old ladies and orphans because they can't pay? Pff. Good. Lousy Mooching leeches. Hitting on that underage and naive little thing? Puh-leeze, they're an easy mark. Deflower, deport and debauch yourself to your heart's content.

8. Sense of Self - You don't even know who you are anymore. What are you doing with your life? What's it all mean? What the hell's it for? Why even bother to get up in the morning? Are you going to go try and 'find' yourself? Or just give up?

9. Sense of Preservation - Your life? Means about as much as a mouse fart. Why should you step out of the way of that speeding train? You were there first. Mouthing off to that huge, angry, overpumped steroid-faced goon sounds like a good idea too. He took your seat. And he smells.

10. Sense of Empathy - That ability that lets you put yourself in the shoes of others, to relate to them? Gone. No, you don't know what they're feeling, and quite frankly, you don't want to. You have your own things to deal with, and they're much more important. Why? Because they're yours.

The Quirky Ones

11. Sense of Humor - Wait, am I supposed to laugh now? You have to take your cue from those around you, laughing when they do, usually a little bit late and a little too long. Not even a fart joke will crack a smile.

12. Sense of Direction - You couldn't find your ass with both hands. Literally. You tried. And wound up getting thrown in the clink for inappropriate conduct with a nun. Don't drop the soa-- Too late.

13. Sense of Modesty - So what if you're using a belt as a skirt. It looks good, right? Bending over and showing off too much isn't an issue for you, neither is changing in the middle of the store if you just have to wear that cute little shirt now.

14. Sense of Fashion - Yes, you think a pink polka-dotted bikini top goes just smashingly with the neon green bellbottoms. Bubblewrap tops? Freakin' awesome. Put it on and flaunt it, and watch people's eyes bleed.

15. Sense of Timing - "What do you mean now's a bad time?" Yes, because you think trying to pick up a girl at her husband's funeral is a good thing. What? She's single. You're late to everything. A clock? Wassat? Strange, foreign words...

16. Mix and Match - You poor bastard, you've lost more than one sense. 2? 3? The whole lot? Who knows, that's up to you.

((Honestly, he could probably lose any of these post-SQUIP. Getting a supercomputer out of your brain sucks.

Never mind that he doesn't have a sense of modesty or fashion in the first place.))

[hiii so I rolled 1 and my brain immediately went "super fucked-up SQUIP trust exercise with only Rich realizing what's going on"? or post-SQUIP recalibration funtimes for them both idk ¯\_(ツ)_/¯]

Memoriam's in the foul sort of mood one gets when prey slips between their fingers. Right now some asshole who should be six feet underground has escaped beyond her sight because of Batman and his no killing rule.

Furiously she whipped around at the dark knight and his vision goes black.

"I am tired of your interference! When I catch up to that little pervert I'm going to gut him and make you a noose with his intestines!"

[Well he's already 80% deaf, not that the other male Avengers know though, and he's a magnet for the lethal types of trouble too. Up for anything though.]

[ ah yes anything on the moral side of things please, slowburn into the dark side and all that shizz (i play this dude between myrkr and his 5-year sojourn post-vong, so i’m looking for an excuse to flex his caedus muscles lol). m/f for shippy. au, crosscanon and assumed cr welcome! ]

oh hai there

[lathraios]

[ I know as much about his canon as wookieepedia can tell me, but I figure this is AU as hell anyway, so. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ]

Crossing his arms, the Sith known as Darth Thraios, also known as Obi-Wan Kenobi, studied the young man inscrutably. "Well. You don't seem nearly so impressive as Vergere made you out to be."

Thraios, as he'd learned from his Master Darth Sidious, had hidden in the shadows, and since the Purge of the Jedi so many decades ago, very few were still living who could even identify him. He called himself a Jedi to the galaxy, while quietly sowing seeds of distrust. His manipulation of the Force - much more subtle and vain than his Master's showy lightning - had kept his appearance youthful, so he seemed only perhaps a decade older than Jacen.

The young man before him though, despite his words, was strong, and Thraios felt it was finally time to up his game. He would take an apprentice - and was there any sweeter satisfaction than corrupting the grandson of his first apprentice?

Mollymauk Tealeaf | Critical Role | OTA, shipping or gen

[viciousmaukeries]

((ooc: Sense of self is something he's already lost before so that could be fun to play with more, especially in a post-resurrection scenario. It's debatable if he ever had much of a sense of preservation or fashion.

Molly is kind of a sense freak, so losing his sense of touch would especially freak him right the fuck out. But he's also got kind of an affinity for shadows thanks to his powers, so sense of sight would be interesting to explore. Same with sense of right and wrong, because ultimately he tries his damndest to live by a code.

But overall I'm down for anything.))

Basic 5; 1

"All right, all right, listen. Mr. Stark, please just listen," she says quickly when he gets to his feet and immediately stumbles because he's still connected to a few machines which had been taking his vitals for her. "Mr. Stark, it's going to be fine, but I really need you to lay back down and let me finish my work. I can't find out what caused the blindness if you don't let me run my tests and if I can't find out what caused it, then I absolutely can't reverse it."

Caitlin doesn't often become assertive if she isn't letting Killer Frost behind the wheel, but every now and again, she has to. Right now, when Tony Stark cannot sit still for the life of him. It's understandable that his reflex is to fight back and bumble around until he can figure it out himself; that had always seemed like it had been Barry's natural response, too, and maybe that's the curse of intelligence and superhero-dom combined.

Whatever happened to him isn't permanent; she can see that much from the few tests she was able to get in while he'd been unconscious. Caitlin had been working on something else while the team had been deployed. They had their own person on medical, so she'd been working on using some samples of Steve Rogers' blood to try to recreate the serum. It's a classified project and the number of people who know she's working on it, Caitlin could count on less than one hand. So, she's a little out of the loop on what exactly went down. All Caitlin knows is that backup was needed and she's the best at what she does. It just is what it is, so here she is.
