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!

Everyone here hates you. And he no longer has a situation with Kurt. It's over. If he actually wanted you, I'd say that you could have him.

...And suddenly you're all shining beacons of friendship. Look, if Blaine had come to me to cheat. You'd have more then enough reason to hate the both of us. As it is...

Blaine is your friend and he's upset. I'm here because I've been in his place.

I hate you because of everything you pulled last year. I have plenty of reason to hate the both of you right now, even if the reasons aren't related.

And Blaine isn't my friend. He isn't my anything anymore. But hey, while you're here, you can do him a favor by telling him to stop texting, stop calling, emailing and sending DVDs. It's like he's taking lessons from you on how to be pathetically desperate.

...Wait. Kurt?

And hey, I'm not desperate. The simple fact neither of you fell for my little tricks sort of proved to me that two of you care about each other. If I had it my way we would have had a fun little threesome back at my estate.

He made a mistake. He's more then a little depressed. At least answer a call.

Oh, so you finally got it?

You can have all the threesomes you want with him and Eli. You don't seem picky, so I'm sure you won't mind a random hookup from facebook.

He's not the only one hurting and I don't owe it to him to answer his calls. All I want is for him to leave me alone so I can try to move on. If he cared about me or how I felt at all, he'd give me some space. Besides, he obviously has your shoulder to cry on.

It's dark in here. I recognize you without some outrageous jacket on.

Eli really isn't that pretty compared you. So, no. Say what you want about my hook ups Kurt. They're properly all true.

Blaine's not the guy to simply cheat or he would have with me when I was trying to get him. He had his reasons, not saying they're all right but can you honestly say that if you had..temptation in front of you while you two have been separated. That you'd turn it down without a shadow of a doubt. And if you say yes. You'd be lying. Loneliness doesn't bring out the best in anyone.

You should have recognized my voice much sooner.

I wouldn't know. I haven't seen the guy and I have no desire to.

I know Blaine's reasons and they're a huge part of why I want nothing to do with him. He's the one who told me to go, and yeah, maybe we didn't talk as much once I started working at Vogue, but I had that job for only a week before Blaine decided cheating seemed like a good idea. And yeah, there's temptations. My coworker is hot and I think he might like me. But he isn't Blaine and I take my promises seriously. And if I had cheated, I would have taken responsibility. I wouldn't have blamed him for it like he did me.

So defend him all you want, but you're not helping his case. You don't know as much about what went down as you think.

You're right. I should have, I almost miss the sparing. To be fair, I had the pain of my ankle to distract me.

Blaine made the effort to go to someone you didn't know. He made the effort to tell you when you might have never found out. He didn't come to me to do it because he knew it would hurt you.

You're right. I properly don't know anything about the situation or what went down. And I'm the last person to know how a relationship should work. The one thing I have been is the other man more then once. He's not happy Kurt. He's not proud.

[ Sebastian blinked as the lights suddenly turned on.] Thank god for Obama.

Are you alright?

He didn't make the effort of talking to me instead of going to someone else. Him going to you honestly wouldn't have been any worse than this as far as I'm concerned. He knew what he was doing and I'll be damned if I give him credit just for admitting he did it. You must really think I'm a doormat if you think I'll buy that he made any effort at all in anything he's done in the last couple months. I've always been the one in the relationship to make an effort. Another reason it's probably good we're not together anymore.

Good. He shouldn't be happy and he shouldn't be proud. He screwed up and hurt me and then tried to blame it on me. The only thing he should be is leaving me alone. Because I'm not taking him back, so the most he can hope for is fixing our friendship eventually. Which won't happen if he doesn't give me space.

[Kurt winced as he tried to adjust his eyes to the sudden light.] It's about time.

I'll be fine, it might bruise but...I'll be fine.

I never thought I've standing here trying to convince you to actually stay with Blaine. Fine. I'm done. I tried and clearly I failed. Yogi can yell at me later.

Look. I wanted you as much as I wanted Blaine and you both shot me down. He was weak. It happens. I'm just saying...don't be so hard on him Kurt.

Are you sure? If you need help to your car...

I don't understand why you'd try to talk me into staying with him anyway. This was what you wanted. You've won. You can have him. Just don't expect to have a life of your own or be even the slightest bit successful if you want to keep him.

You didn't want me. All you ever did was insult me and try to blind me. Anyway, I'll be as hard on him as I want until he backs off. I don't owe it to him to make things easy, but he does owe it to me not to harass me at all hours of the day and night. We're over and I don't have to talk to him if I don't want to. My life is stressful enough without him adding to it.

That's sweet of you but lets face it. You'd rather die then touch me.

Because it's not winning if he doesn't actually want me Kurt. The person he wants is you. And strangely enough, what he wants suddenly matters. Everything that Yogi...David...tried to do woke me up a little. It's not a victory if Blaine's depressed.

For the last time the rock salt was for your clothes. Not your eyes. I was aiming it at your chest not your head. I checked out your ass more then once, so that that as you will. You were a hot boy, the only reason I went after Blaine as hard as I did was because I saw him as a prize.

....Fine. Congrats on your job. By the way.

You may not be my favorite person but that doesn't mean I'd risk you hurting yourself even more trying to get out of here on your own.

That's strangely nice of you. Unfortunately, what he wants doesn't really matter to me at the moment. He can't have me. But I'm sure he'll get over it soon enough and you'll have your shot at him.

Wait, so Blaine's a prize but I wasn't? Seriously? He may have the looks and maybe even the talent, but I'm the one with the brain and the personality. Not that someone like you can appreciate that.

Thank you. It turns out this job was the best thing to ever happen to me. Well, that and my huge apartment.

I'll think I'll be fine. Provided the floor doesn't fall away or something. Though, knowing this school, anything is possible.

Wow. You're really unforgiving. It's almost an impressive level of unforgiving. Props. Again. Picking up the shattered pieces of your lovelife would have been a little while ago. Not so much now.

Are you really actually that annoyed I didn't go after you more? And please Hummel. You have no idea what I'd appreciate. Look, you're attractive, even by Dalton standards. But Blaine was talked up to me, he had a connection to the group and I met him first. And I'd heard a few rumors about the size of his cock. That's the reason he was the prize and not you. It certainly didn't mean you weren't on the list.

No doubt you'll be creating the next fashion house in a year.

This school isn't that bad. Most of the time.

I don't have to be forgiving. I don't know where you get the idea that I owe him anything. I might be more inclined to play nice if he wasn't borderline harassing me.

Not really, no. I just don't buy that you went after me at all. I think you just wanted my boyfriend and that's it. Also, those rumors about his size? They aren't true. He's average. He's not the god you all like to treat him as, but by all means, keep kissing his ass and putting him on a pedestal. Just don't get too upset when reality kicks you in the ass.

Oh god, wouldn't that be amazing? But I'm going to try to get into NYADA again next year, so... [He shrugs.]

Are you sure? I'm pretty sure a bunch of rats a few rooms over plotting to take over the west hall. Or were those students?

Hey, all I know is that he cheated and walking around with the saddest looking bowtie ever. I just wanted to help.

Fine, I did'nt put as much effort in as I could have with you. I'll admit that. He's average? That's a shame. Dalton boys really talked him up. Wow you are really angry.

I would'nt mind wearing a Kurt Hummel, if it was something in jet black. You're really going to try for the school again when you have a great chance to do something else? Besides. Cassandra is'nt all that fantastic.

That was probably just the hockey team. I won't deny they're rat-like though.

If you really want to help him, tell him to leave me alone for a while. And if you want to help me, you won't tell him that I'm here.

I'm okay with you not putting as much effort in with me. It never would have gotten you anywhere anyway. And how would the Dalton boys even know? I'm the one who slept with him. Did they stare at him in the locker room and decide he was more impressive than he was? Because that's a little creepy. And yes, I'm angry. I'll take being angry over being depressed any day.

Oh, I could work wonders with jet black. And honestly... I'm not sure. My boss thinks I should start seriously considering going into fashion and the longer I work at Vogue... I don't know, being there makes me feel so alive. [He pauses.] Wait, you know about Cassandra?

That would explain why they kept calling each other "bro.".

Wait. Why are you here anyway? I thought you'd left this hell hole for good.

Well, it might have not gotten me anywhere. But it would have been fun. I have no doubt you're certainly a looker when your naked. Like I said. It was a rumor. They talked Blaine up as the great and hot leader when I got there. I have no idea if he is because I've never seen him. And how they know...I don't have a clue. Angry is better then depressed. I guess.

Just make it nothing a male Gaga would wear and I might even commission it. You're boss is right. The stage is great but it's fleeting and you have a chance to do something fun. You're like Ann Hathaway in that movie. [ He's just going to give him a look at that.] Of course I do. My parents were at her failure of a performance.

Oh, that could have been the football team too, then. Or random male members of glee club.

I'm only here to see my brother. I waited until he called to tell me Blaine went home before coming to the school.

I probably would have hated you less if you had pursued me as much as you pursued Blaine. Maybe I would have seen you as the weird, pervy friend I always shoot down. And those boys hero worshiped Blaine. It probably would have been sweet, but since it pretty much guaranteed no one else would have a solo, it was a little annoying when I was there. And anger is much better. I can work with anger.

Hey, I can do more than one style! Much like my talent, my taste in clothing is pretty eclectic. And I guess I have a lot of thinking to do when it comes to fashion versus Broadway. I believe the movie you're referring to is the Devil Wears Prada. [He winces.] Cassandra has been making Rachel's life miserable. I wouldn't take that class unless I absolutely had to.

Well it wasn't that hot blond from you're group. So might be one of the others.

Sneaky, that's a new side of you.

Please, as if you could turn me down. They still worse him, though, I have to admit he's better then our new esteemed leader. You should see his white cat.

Careful you might just shocked me. More than one style? I'd know which one I'd choose if I had your talent. That's the one.She makes everyone life miserable.

Sam? Yeah, I guess he's hot. But it was probably the hockey team.

It's nothing new. I've always been sneaky. I just toned it down a bit when I got together with Blaine.

Oh, I wouldn't have had a problem turning you down. I bet it would have been the easiest thing I've ever done. Wait, aren't you the Warblers leader? Did they make you step down?

Of course more than one style. You should see how I made Rachel over. She looks amazing these days. All because of me. And well, Isabelle too. And I wish Cassandra would stop being so horrible to Rachel all the time. Rachel's talented. Probably the most talented student she has.

Not your type? Prefer the skinny twink look?

What do you know, looks like your more interesting then I thought.

I can be very charming Kurt. And...no. No I'm not. Lets just say some of the boys had a few problems with my leadership style. So when Hunter challenged me...I didn't exactly have the votes.

How is it you sound more excited about fashion then the possibility of going to NYDNA next year? I think you found your answer. Ah. And no offense to baby Streisand but...she's probably not the most talented on there. Welcome to New York.

Oh, no, he's definitely my type. I used to have a crush on him. For like, a week.

See? If you'd gotten to know me, you'd have known how interesting I was.

I guess I've never seen your charming side. Was their issues with your leadership style about the fact that you guys lost? Because you would have lost no matter who lead you and your performance was actually pretty good. Is this Hunter guy any good?

I don't know. It's kind of weird, isn't it. This wasn't where I expected end up a year ago or even a few months ago, but it feels... amazing. And Rachel might not have as much experience as the rest of them, but she's the most talented person I have ever met and I think out of all them, she has the best shot at becoming something great.

I can see why. He's quite...distracting.

This me trying to get to know you now. And you know, licking my wounds.

That you didn't. No, they didn't have an issue with the fact we lost, though Hunter pointed that fact out as well. I think they still had some...resentment about the rock salt thing. And how I treated Blaine. Always a Warbler and all that.

I actually know what you mean, I applied for Harvard. So, in a few months I'll be in your place. Which, is a little scary. Well, say what you will about her performance. People who come out of her class and that school. They certainly hit it big time.

He's also straight.

Out of the two of us, I'm not sure you're the one who needs to lick his wounds.

Too bad, huh? And I'm not sure the Warblers are in a position to judge you for what happened to Blaine. They walked away while he was on the floor screaming in pain. His so-called friends. The blame for that doesn't rest solely on your feet. And I guess that once a Warbler, always a Warbler crap didn't extend to me, huh?

Harvard is a really good school. I hope you get in, but make sure you have backup schools. I'd probably be in school with now if I had been smart enough to apply to more than one school. And they must not hit it that big, considering last year was the first Rachel and I even heard of that school. We were originally going to apply to Juilliard.
