LIGHTS OUT
a dark room meme



Uh oh! Looks like something weird is happening, here! Did someone forget to pay the electricity bill? Or has that storm outside caused a blackout? Who knows! Reasoning aside, you are now trapped in darkness. You can't see anything, anything at all! And you can't even adjust to this darkness, for some reason! There's only black, black, black. Something about this room is odd, for certain!

How this is going to go down
♦ You will post as your character as ANON, because you're in the dark!
♦ There is no putting your character's name in the subject line. However, if you like, you can put your character's series/canon. It's no fun if you know who you're interacting with right away!
♦ You're free to set up your character fumbling around in the dark and such, just so you remember which comment is yours in this anon mess, if anything.
♦ Those who reply to you will roll the RNG for the specifics of the situation!
♦ Yay! In the dark shenanigans!!
♦ When you guys are ready, the lights go on, you can log into your character journals, and it's time to admire the awkward in the light.

♦ ONE: WHY IS IT SO SMALL AND CRAMPED IN THIS ROOM? Wait, this isn't a room, this is a closet. It looks like you've been locked inside for Seven Minutes in Heaven, or just for shits and giggles! The door doesn't seem to be opening, and it sounds like some ... Barry Manilow is playing? Oh, talk about awkward.
♦ TWO: BRR, WHY IS IT SO COLD? Looks like your clothes are missing! For some reason, you're only dressed in your underwear, or even commando if you feel like being really mean to your muse. Are you in bed with someone? Just can't find your clothes? Are THEY wearing your clothes? Up to you, because it really doesn't make it any less awkward.
♦ THREE: A LITTLE HANDSY: Did someone just cop a feel? There's a lot of accidental (or... not accidental groping going on, for whatever reason! Talk about an awkward situation, mmmhmm!
♦ FOUR: OOPS, STUCK! One of you is stuck somewhere in this room, and can't get out! Either in a hole in the floor or tied to a bed or something! Whatever you can think of! Hopefully the other person can help you out in the dark.
♦ FIVE: ON AND OFF! Rather than totally darkness, the lights are flashing on and off, creepily. And it looks like there might be monsters in there with you guys?! Or are those illusions?

If you don't want to roll the RNG, that's fine! Go ahead and create your own situation, if you'd like!

Have fun, everyone!

[ The person or being reaches out, and the girl will feel fingers gently probing around, feeling the general dimensions of her body (in an entirely clinical way) then moving up to where her wrists are bound. The fingers test the resilience of the bindings, but otherwise do nothing to try and remove them. ]

Trapped, are you...?

[ The words come in a soft murmur, low but not quite menacing. Not yet. ]

[Well, reach out and whomever can move of their free will may feel her hair. She is bound to a chandelier, though she'd say it's more a wheel with melted candles because it was time to be thrifty. She wriggles at his touch and tells herself this stranger chilling in a cave dark room doesn't mean to upset her.]

Part of the party, I'm afraid. Few hours each day's the usual, though for the last no one but you's stopped by. You know about it, right?

[Her voice's upbeat enough, and she's trying to smile, but the lack of further reaction creeps up her spine, cold, and she forces away dread. He tested. He tried, right? He tried. People don't try if they don't want to help, even if it's for themselves.]


(OOC: OK by me.)

I'm afraid I do not. Enlighten me.

[ Meanwhile, he paces around the unlit chandelier and comes across the bindings on her ankles. Even as he wonders how and why she has come to be in the position she is, an unseen smirk tugs at his lips. ]
