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 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.

"Right." He takes a moment to think, leaning back against the wall once more. "Hey. Do you have your cell phone? We could just try... calling Derek?" Or he could howl? But if the Alpha's were around anywhere, that would attract them too. No, phone calls were good.

[He can't believe he didn't think of using his cell phone earlier. He reaches into his pocket and pulls it out.] We're not calling Derek. I don't have his number and this is probably his fault anyway. We're calling Scott.

"Really? Scott's probably too busy pining over his psycho girlfriend. Call Derek." At least the Alpha would actually show up when called. "I know his number."

Scott isn't even dating Allison anymore. I'm going to call him, not Derek. I don't trust Derek not to make the situation worse.

"He's not going to make it worse. He'll stand a better chance than Scott if it is the Alphas."

He always makes things worse. And he's constantly getting his ass kicked. Even more now than when he was just a beta. I think I'd rather take my chances with Scott.
