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!

Possibly. You sound kind of familiar.

[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.]

[hadajerkectomy]

*As soon as he can see him, his eyes widen like saucers.* E-Emperor Peony?!

*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.*

[deathscore]

[Peony draws his other hand up to his chin, looking deeply thoughtful. Really, Luke had just grabbed a handful of his butt. It wasn't any big deal (to him, at least), but making someone squirm is always good time.]

Where do you think?

[hadajerkectomy]

Oh man....

*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!

[deathscore]

I am going to require compensation, of course. I'll be keeping Gailardia.

[And he says it with such a straight face. Poor Luke...]

[hadajerkectomy]

What?! No way!

*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?

[deathscore]

[He's so earnest, it's hard to not just relent and let Luke keep "his" Guy. Peony looks at him thoughtfully.]

Hmm... well, you're a little short for it. It would be better if it was Gailardia...

[hadajerkectomy]

A little short for what, exactly?

*Let him keep "his" Guy, pleaaaaase? He'd pout if it was in his nature to do so. For now, have him looking grumpy.*

[deathscore]

Modeling!

[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.]

[hadajerkectomy]

...What.

*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.*

[deathscore]

[Too late now, Luke. It seems like the fontech is working down towards Peony's room, but he's not about to let go of his prey just yet! If he hasn't had the pleasure of seeing Peony's rooms just yet, he'll get it now - there are some rappigs walking around freely and random piles of things strewn about.]

I probably have something relatively your size...

[Digging through his closet of half-finished costumes now! This one might not be half bad.]

[hadajerkectomy]

..Uh...

*Yup, pulled along. He grumbles a bit and.. huh. That costume doesn't look too bad, actually. He's fond of his own clothing, but...*

...You want me to wear that?

*He is a bit surprised that it's not something embarrassing.*

[deathscore]

[He does have a genuine interest in fashion, and he can't be seen parading around in all these costumes himself!]

Why, do you not like it? I thought it might suit you.

[The embarrassing costumes are generally saved for attempting to shove Jade into.]

[hadajerkectomy]

...That's not it. My head's just been in a weird spot lately.

..I'll wear it. It's no big deal. *He might be blushing a little, but he holds his hands out to take the costume. But seeing Jade in embarrassing costumes would certainly be something to see (or then bleach his eyes afterwards.)*

[deathscore]

[He might have to pin it up a bit to get it to fit Luke, so he'll wander off to find those now.]

Great, great~ go ahead and change.

[He put the sewing kit over here, right? Or maybe it was over there...]

[hadajerkectomy]

*He heads into the bathroom to change out of his clothing and into the costume. It feels a little strange, a bit heavier than he's used to, but overall, it's not bad. He finds himself staring at himself in the mirror for a moment or two before he comes out. The fit isn't bad, either....*

...How's this?

[deathscore]

[One of the baby rappigs takes an interest in the new visitor, trotting over to nudge at Luke's leg.]

It's not bad! Might have to pin it up in a few spots, though. Sit still.

[Aha! Here it is. Kit in hand, Peony heads over to adjust Luke's costume.]

[hadajerkectomy]

*Sorry rappig, but he's gotta hold still (and the mun doesn't know/remember if he likes them or not). He just glances down and then back up to Peony.*

If I'm just modeling it for you, why does it need to be adjusted?

[deathscore]

It's no fun if it doesn't fit correctly!

[Humming a bit to himself, he sets to work. Costuming is one of the few things Peony will focus on for hours without complaining of boredom. The baby sits down and watches Luke intently, knowing better than to bother Peony when he gets to messing with clothes.]

[hadajerkectomy]

Oh? I didn't know that.

*So he'll just hold still for him while he works, idly watching Peony's hands. He's really good at what he does, it seems. If he wasn't an Emperor, he'd probably make an excellent tailor.

*Not that the two are mutually exclusive.*

[deathscore]

[It's not as if he's having Luke model this professionally, he just gets bored sometimes! All finished pinning him up, Peony stands again, then nods approvingly.]

There. See how much better that is?

[hadajerkectomy]

It does feel more comfortable than before.

*Don't mind him kind of looking at himself. He kind of feels like Asch, wearing this. He's unsure if that's a good or a bad feeling, honestly.*

[deathscore]

[It was Asch's outfit that gave him the inspiration, but with the way Luke is wearing it, it's definitely more Luke than Asch.]

Perfect! Ah? Do you like it too?

[He picks up the baby rappig, nuzzling it.]

You don't have a name yet, hmm? We'll call you Luke then~

[hadajerkectomy]

Eh?

*He gives the rappiglet a look, then back up at Peony.*

...Why are you giving him my name?

*Not that he's not... a little flattered.*

[deathscore]

Because he likes you!

[How Peony can tell when a rappig likes someone is anyone's guess, but he does seem to have a good read on their moods. He nuzzles it affectionately.]
