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!

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.

"Jackson deserved it." Not the Kanima thing. "He's a selfish dick who thinks of no one but himself. His own issues are what made him the Kanima, not the bite. And so what that his sister was Alpha. She was meant for it, she was trained. Not him." He knew the argument was weak and, at this point in time, hugely inappropriate, but his instincts to defend had kicked in and he wasn't backing down.

"Can we not argue over my Alpha and just get on with getting out of here?" The anger mixed with the fear that was still present in his mind was making it harder for him to keep control and he could already feel the way his claws bit at his palms, and was sure his eyes were flashing gold.

Dude, I'm not exactly Jackson's biggest fan myself, but he didn't deserve that. Yeah, Jackson has issues, but he's a teenager. Derek's an adult and he should have known better. He's really no better than Jackson. Do you think all the people the kanima hurt or killed deserved it too? Because that's partially Derek's fault too, whether you want to believe it or not. And he should have learned by watching her, by seeing how she handled things. Hell, I'm not even a werewolf and I could do better than him. Some things are just common sense.

[He sighs and starts feeling around the wall again, putting as much distance between them as he can.] Fine. I just want to get out of here and figure out who took us.

"I never said that I thought they deserved it. We're remembering my dad was one of those people? But Jackson sat by and let those things happen to me. Forgive me if I can't find it in myself to give a shit what happened to him."

There's a mirrored sigh and he just leans back against the wall, hands over his head and focuses on his breathing.

So is that the real issue here? Jackson sitting by and doing nothing while you got hurt? Because it still doesn't mean he deserved what happened, but at least your issues with him make now.

He takes another step back, but this time trips and falls to the floor with a humiliating thud. "Wow, I am so glad you couldn't see that."

"He knew exactly what was happening to me, what happened in that house. And he just pretended there was nothing going on. Jackson is the reason Jackson became the Kanima. And it was Matt that controlled him, made him kill. All Derek did was give Jackson what he wanted." Even if it had been, as Stiles said, with the hopes that it would kill him.

"But I can hear it."

ooc: It isn't like they haven't figured it out! :D Isaac gave away clues, and logically, he'd be able to see well enough in the dark... and he'd know Stiles' scent :D

A lot of people ignore situations like that and they shouldn't, especially teenagers. But the kanima thing? Still wasn't his fault. Derek did what he did because he wanted to kill a teenage boy. A douchey teenage boy, yes, but a teenage boy nonetheless. He holds almost as much responsibility for what happened as Matt.

[He sighs.] Yes, yes, and I'm sure it's hilarious.

ooc: Exactly! Stiles figured out it was Isaac a while ago and along with his scent, Stiles gave away a lot of clues himself. =)

"I'm not talking about this anymore. Just drop it." It was becoming more and more apparent that they weren't going to agree with each other on the topic and Isaac didn't want to sit around and fight over it when they should be working on getting out of there.

"How's your ass?"

ooc: Calling him 'dude' constantly... lol!

You've said that before and kept right on talking about it. But fine, dropping it now.

[He slowly gets up, brushing himself off before finding the wall again.] Thanks for asking, man. My ass is great. Probably because I landed on my side instead of my ass.

ooc: lol I thought that might end up giving it away.

"Not the point."

Isaac chuckles then, shaking his head despite the fact that Stiles can't see it. "Sorry man. But... really? How are you still alive?"

ooc: Haha.

If you say so.

[He makes a face in the direction of Isaac's voice.] Because I'm smart and when it's not completely dark, I'm not this clumsy.
