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!

I have no idea. I think someone knocked me out and dumped me here, so I guess we better hope we're not trapped here.

"This just gets worse and worse. You okay?"

Yeah, I'm good. My head hurts a little but it's not like it's the first time this has happened. I just want to get out of here. This is so not how I wanted to spend my night.

"Okay. Alright. As long as you're good we can... We can find a way out of here. Right?"

ooc: this was meant to post last night :/ sorry!

Yes, definitely. This isn't even close to the worst situation I've found myself in. We'll be okay.

ooc: Don't worry about it! Happens to me sometimes too ♥

"I've been in worse, too. I just... really don't want to be in this one."

We'll get out of here. We just need to find the door. I am a little... worried about what we'll find when we get out though. I don't suppose you can fight? Because there's a chance we'll need to do that when we get out of here and to tell you the truth, I'm not great at it.

"I'll be able to try. Even with my..." He pauses, realising he could give too much away if he words it badly. "Even with my height advantage... I'm no Jet Li."

Height advantage? Seriously? I don't suppose you also have the advantage of gretting growly and fangy once month too, huh? Because that would be a lot more helpful right now. [He doesn't even care if he gave too much away. If it's not someone who knows about that stuff, then they'll just laugh it off anyway. If it is, then well, he just hopes it's not a hunter.]

"Um..." His first reaction is to panic, because he could be trapped in a dark room with a hunter. And then he realises that there's a distinct lack of eery calm that seems to accompany them and he relaxes. "Yeah. In a worse case scenario situation, I may be able to use that advantage."

Okay, awesome. Then we might actually stand a chance at getting out of here alive. [He starts feeling around the room again.] I just wish we knew who brought us here, so we could make a plan.

"Unless it's the Alpha pack out there. I won't be able to take on one, let alone a pack of them." He shuddered slightly at the thought, knowing that they would plow through him and his companion with ease. "Be careful, stay alert and stay together. It's our best option."

Woah, hold on, Alpha pack?! What alpha pack? [He stops searching the room and stands there, frowning into the darkness.] I thought Derek was the only Alpha around here. Unless you count his uncle. Is he still an Alpha? Did they start a new pack? Is this something I should be worrying about?

"Yeah. Like an entire pack of... Wait, no one told you?" Oops. "Peter isn't an Alpha. And no, they didn't. And... yes. Most likely."

No. No one told me. And no one told Scott either. You know, stuff like this is exactly why Scott doesn't want to be in Derek's pack. [He sighs.] Explain the Alpha pack. Who are they? What do they want? Why didn't anyone tell us about them?

"I just told you all I know. All we." His sigh echoes the other and he leans back against the wall behind him. "They went by the house, left their mark on the door. Peter said it was an entire pack made up of Alphas and that they were the reason Derek was in such a rush to build up his own pack. They're coming for Derek."

Yeah, but how long have you known about this? [He frowns, growing more uneasy the more he hears.] That sounds really, really bad. And I'm sorry, but it's obvious Derek has no idea what he's doing. I don't see how a pack of teenage betas are going to be any help to him against a pack of Alphas.

"Since after the fight with Gerard, after Jackson became a wolf." Sighing, he shakes his head, despite knowing it isn't visible. "We'll figure it out. We did before, with the Kanima. We'll figure it out." There's a hint of defensiveness in his tone, but he doesn't bother trying to stomp it down.

Dude, that was forever ago! Does Jackson know about this? And how will you figure it out? Is Derek going to start biting random teenagers again?

"No, he doesn't. And I don't know. But we will. Somehow, we will." He scowls. "I doubt it."

[He rolls his eyes.] Well, if he does decide to go on another biting spree, maybe you should suggest he try adults with useful jobs instead of high school students.

A growl rolls in his chest slightly and he shoves away from the wall. "Drop it."

[He backs away from the growl.] Fine, fine, but don't come crying to Scott for help if he messes up again.

"You all need to give him a break. There's no manual on how to be an Alpha, no 'Alpha for Dummies' book. And he has no one to teach him. We're all learning. You guys just need to ease up on 'you're failing' shit." He knows its the innate urge to defend and protect his Alpha that causes the outburst, and he doesn't bother to stop.

Yeah, you know what? No. Maybe we'd be more inclined to give him a break if he'd stop messing up. The whole kanima thing? Only happened because he bit Jackson in hope of killing him. His answer to everything is murder and half the time he doesn't even need proof that it's necessary before getting all kill happy. And I don't buy that he had no one to teach him. He was born a werewolf and his sister was an Alpha, so he has no excuse for being this clueless.

[He'll just take another step back just in case.] We'll ease up when he starts using his brain and stops putting our friends in danger.
