Captivity Meme

You've been captured -- or maybe you've been held captive for a while now. Whatever the case, you've lost your freedom, and there's a specific person responsible for that. You might be a prisoner, a mental patient, a kidnap victim, or someone's pet. Maybe you're there willingly, or maybe the choice has been taken away from you completely.

Both smut and non-smut scenarios are possible. If you don't want to play smut, please indicate so in the title line of your tag.

1. Leave a tag with your character. Be sure to include any limits on what you are willing to play, as this meme has the potential to be triggering.

2. Someone else tags in and uses RNG to generate a number between 1 and 9. The second character is holding the first character captive now.

3. ???

4. Profit!

Scenarios

1. For their own good. Does this person really think they could make it on their own? It's a big, scary world out there, and you need to protect them from it, whether they like it or not.

2. For the good of society. Forget protecting this person -- it's your duty to protect the world from them! Maybe they committed a terrible crime, or maybe they were falsely condemned, but it's your job to keep them locked up where they can't do any more harm.

3. Because they're not well. How's your bedside manner? Whether you're Florence Nightingale or Mildred Ratched, you're in the position of ministering to the mentally ill. Maybe this person genuinely needs your help, or maybe you're just turning a blind eye to their true sanity.

4. For the money. Higher aims? What higher aims? This person is your meal ticket, and they're staying put until their loved ones pay up.

5. For their love. It might be a case of yandere, or it might be a consenting BDSM relationship. Whether it's by mutual agreement or by force, you're keeping them simply because you love them.

6. Because they're cute and fluffy. Who's a cutesy wutesy? They are! Yes, they are! This person is your pet now. Maybe they're a different species from you, or maybe you just don't care that you're both people. Maybe you're even an alien zookeeper looking after a new acquisition.

7. Because they're your property. Slave? Livestock? Who cares what they think - they're your property, and you decide their fate.

8. For the lulz. Hey, what's a little bondage between friends? You'll let them go, once you're done laughing and snapping photos... maybe.

9. Choose a scenario, or combine several.

[ And, oh, but that does draw a laugh. A surprised chuckle that turns into a laugh of genuine amusement before it quickly dissolves into wet coughs. His entire frame shakes with the force of it as he hacks, spits out another bloody mouthful to the floor. ]

It is terribly amusing how smug you are for someone that knows so very little.

[ He smiles, wide, toothy, and bloody. ]

Would it please you, were I to bow my head and agree with all you propose? To scrape and plead to get the smallest scraps of favor? That is what you wished for, coming down here, is it not? To see the great brought low. Perhaps you have not come to deliver my death, but you would enjoy whatever pain you bring. You ache with it, the need to show me what you, what a human is capable of.

And all the while, you keep these cuffs on me, these bonds of Asgard's make, for you fear that which you cannot subjugate, cannot control and you, of all people, must understand what it is like. To be brimming with potential and have it locked away, caged into what others want of you. You come down here without your suit of protection because you find me no longer a danger, beaten and downtrodden and my power locked beyond my reach.

I am, for all that you care, no more than yet another specimen, locked away behind glass like all those in your mortal menageries, waiting to die.
