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!

This is quite a storm, isn't it? Knocking out all the lights...
no subject
(Anonymous) 2012-11-10 06:51 am (UTC)(link)*He lets go immediately, his clothing rustling as he crosses his arms across his chest.*
..Yeah. I wonder where we can find a candle or something.
no subject
(Anonymous) 2012-11-10 06:53 am (UTC)(link)[He's not, but it's worth a shot asking. Just so there are no more misunderstandings, he reaches out to find the boy's hand and grab hold.]
Here, we won't lose each other like this.
no subject
(Anonymous) 2012-11-10 07:01 am (UTC)(link)*He feels an odd little jolt from having his hand held, but he returns the hold. The hand is slightly bigger than his.*
...Sounds like a plan.
*Slowly, he starts navigating along the wall to try and determine how big the room is around them.*
no subject
(Anonymous) 2012-11-10 07:23 am (UTC)(link)Hey!
[He calls out promptly at the top of his voice, then pauses to listen for an echo. Haha, this must be one of the longer hallways in the palace.]
We're out of luck. Hear that? Big echo. This hall could go on for quite awhile.
no subject
(Anonymous) 2012-11-10 07:34 am (UTC)(link)*He's a little grumpy and hates being devoid of a crucial sense. He pouts - not that it's visible in the dark.*
no subject
(Anonymous) 2012-11-10 07:37 am (UTC)(link)[He swings their joined hands merrily as he starts to trot along. It's like an adventure!]
no subject
(Anonymous) 2012-11-10 08:01 am (UTC)(link)... *Dude, that arm-swinging is weird. But... it's better than being alone right now. Alone, he'll fall back into his thoughts and dwelling too much isn't a good thing. He'll tolerate it for now. For now, he just keeps pace with the stranger.*
...And if we can't find the moon?
no subject
(Anonymous) 2012-11-10 08:05 am (UTC)(link)[In fact, it feels quite small. He can't ever really go anywhere else without risking his life unless it's on official business...]
no subject
(Anonymous) 2012-11-10 08:07 am (UTC)(link)*He absently gives the stranger's hand a squeeze. While he doesn't make a habit of grabbing his teammates' hands, he can safely say that this isn't someone he can quite recognize.*
no subject
(Anonymous) 2012-11-10 08:10 am (UTC)(link)Have you visited here often?
no subject
(Anonymous) 2012-11-10 08:22 am (UTC)(link)*Though it isn't from a lack of wanting to see it more.*
It would be nice to visit more often, even so.
*He absently starts matching their footsteps, a little more at a time.*
no subject
(Anonymous) 2012-11-10 08:42 am (UTC)(link)[With the way he's saying it, it's almost like he owns the place!]
no subject
(Anonymous) 2012-11-10 08:50 am (UTC)(link)*But... how he's saying things.... They're really familiar.*
...Have we met before?
no subject
[Just like he promised, they reach the end of the hallway. With his eyes adjusted to the dark, he can see Luke clearly now.]
Luke! What are you doing wandering around here?
[Apparently, Peony sees no shame in grown men holding hands like schoolboys.]
no subject
*Forgetting that they're holding hands at the moment...*
N-nothing! I'm not... doing much by being here.
*Other than trying to distract himself from guilt? Absolutely nothing! ...And then he remembers when they met in the dark and where his hand could have possibly...*
...J-just... where did I grab you by accident earlier? *He asks before he can think better of it.*
no subject
Where do you think?
no subject
*He tries to pull his hand away from Peony so that he can cover his face with both of his hands. Because something like that deserves a double facepalm.*
I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to do that!
no subject
[And he says it with such a straight face. Poor Luke...]
no subject
*He at least catches himself before he can say "he's mine!" Aha.... And then he gets an idea.*
...Is there any compensation that I, on my own, can offer?
no subject
Hmm... well, you're a little short for it. It would be better if it was Gailardia...
no subject
*Let him keep "his" Guy, pleaaaaase? He'd pout if it was in his nature to do so. For now, have him looking grumpy.*
no subject
[Hopefully Luke doesn't have anywhere important to be, because Peony's going to keep heading for his rooms. It's pretty rare that he manages to find someone to victimize with his costumes that will sit still.
Somehow, it's just not the same if the person wearing it volunteers.]
no subject
*And of course, he's being tugged along again, isn't he? Ugh. And here he was worried that Guy would be taken taken. He should have just walked off. Grumble.*
no subject
I probably have something relatively your size...
[Digging through his closet of half-finished costumes now! This one might not be half bad.]
