The Love Me Meme
updated edition
♫ ♫ ♫ Well I was walking down the street just a-having a think when a snake of a guy gave me an
evil wink. He shook-a me up, he took me by surprise. He had a pickup truck, and the devil's eyes. He stared at me and I felt a change. Time meant nothing, never would again. ♫ ♫ ♫
♥ As the lyric suggests, you see someone and, bam! You love them! Wait, you don't? You don't even know them? Well, now you do! Haha, see what I did there?
♥ Post with your characters, name and fandom in the subject line! Someone else will reply to your character. Then, you go tohttp://www.random.org/ or any other random number generator you'd like, and pop in the numbers 1 to 10.
♥ Match up that number with the appropriate category of love below, and that's how your character now feels about that replier!
♥ Remember, each thread is different! You're rolling each time, for whoever replies to you.
♥ Remember: just because Character A loves Character B doesn't mean Character B loves them back (or is going to be any less creeped out by this sudden change of heart!)
Yandere love. You are obsessed with this person to the point that it is dangerous, unhealthy and absolutely insane; you want them to be with you, you, you, you, and only you, and nothing is going to stand in your way. No one is going to hurt your love - in fact, no one is going to come near your love. And if they say they don't love you? They will. You'll make them. Because you're meant to be together, and you're going to be together, forever and ever and ever. Married married married~
two.
Fairy tale love. You're convinced that this person is your prince or princess! Your true love! The one that you're destined to be with! And they know it too -- at least, they should. You must woo them, court them, try to convince them that you two were meant to dance with fuzzy adorable mascot animals and have a big wedding together! If they don't love you? They must be under a spell from an evil witch, or something! They do say that true love's kiss breaks solves all.
three.
Moe love. It is adorable, and sweet, and innocent. You want to hold hands and exchange chocolates and pretty cards and take long walks on the beach and talk about your future and your kids and aaaaw. It's just like you're in a G-rated Disney movie! You just want your True Love(TM) to be happy, and to know that you love them very much. ;u;
four
School Kid Crush love. You're apt to pass love notes and
five.
Tsundere love. Of course you love them, but you're way too shy to admit that! Things like that are embarrassing, damn it! You'll yell and flail and hit the love of your life, but it's just because you're not sure how to show that you love them. I mean, you'll still be awfully upset if they try to leave you, or if they don't understand, or they don't want to kiss you... But there's no way you'll say "I love you"!! ... Not unless they say it first, at least. Physical comedy ahoy!
six.
Forbidden love. You yearn for them, but for some reason, you can't be with them! It kills you inside, and just being around them fills you with butterflies. But once... just for tonight, you're willing to throw it all away and be with them! But... what, they don't feel the same way? They're just being shy! It's time for you two to be secret lovers, and it's not possible if they're being stubborn! They shouldn't worry, you won't tell anyone! And you need this. It's scary, yet thrilling, and all they need is a little... persuasion!
seven.
Sexy love. Maybe there's some love hidden deep down somewhere, but that's not the priority here; first thing's first is that man needs to take his clothes off right now. You don't want to talk about your house and your white picket fence and your 2.5 kids; you just want to touch that person now, and you'll think about the rest in the morning. Kissing and contact and maybe a little lovin' are what you want, and nothing is going to stop you. No means yes. For underage characters (and those of us who w-would rather not write sexy things), kisses and flirting are all you need.
eight.
Extreme love. You have to impress the object of your affections, before they're stolen away by some fool! You can do anything when it comes down to showing how much you love this person, even if it means spending all your savings on them, buying nice things that they don't actually need. You're so overcome by your love for them, that's all that matters! You'll definitely win them over with your amazing shows of love and prowess!
nine.
Melodramatic love. This is very important and you know you're rushing things a little but this love was meant to be!! Your love life is suddenly a Shakespearean tragedy, complete with dramatic plot twists and turns, and you need to confess your love to the world before it's too late! There's no time to lose; in the morning, you're going to be exiled, your love is going to be hanged, your mother will be shot, your father will become a pirate and someone will kick your puppy!! For bonus points, speak in terrible, hilarious, terrible prose.
ten.
Possessive & Manipulative love. You want this person, need them, want to own them -- but things don't seem to be going as planned. They keep looking at other people and talking to other people... it doesn't matter if they feel the same way, you'll force them into doing what you want them to do. You'll manipulate the situation. You'll manipulate their feelings until they are utterly yours, and can no longer deny that they belong to you. Cold and calculating, you'll get what you want.
[a classic!]

6 / I hope you don't mind if I dust off some cobwebs for this...
Cremia pauses from her chore, only resuming it when the cow lets out a lazy moo to remind her. She continues on with the rest of her work, but her mind keeps wandering back to Anju. Finally, and with not a small amount of bribery, she talks Romani into taking over the rest of the work for her, under the pretense of needing to make a run to town for supplies. To lend some credence to her story, she takes along a crate of Chateau Romani, which she drops off at the bar when she reaches town.
As she's walking out of the bar, her gaze drifts over to the inn, and she hesitates a moment. She should at least talk to her old friend, right? Congratulate her, maybe? ... Only if she can manage to ignore the sinking feeling in her gut at the thought of it. Before she can make a decision, she's already walking toward the inn, only stopping again when she reaches the door. She raises her hand to the handle, but grunts in frustration when she realizes it's locked. They're not even open yet. Maybe she should have stayed to finish the rest of her chores, after all.
She runs her hands back over her face and through her hair, trying to discern just why she's so worked up over this marriage, when she hears the door click from inside. Her heart goes from sinking to punching her chest from the inside in a moment, and she starts to walk away before the door opens. But, well, being inconspicuous is not something that anyone in the Romani family has ever been good at.]
Oooh~! Cremia! And what a beautiful post! ^w^ I don't mind at all! <3
Anju had been staying rather busy with taking care of her grandmother (Or trying to...) as well as maintaining and running the inn by herself most days. On top of that, she and Kafei had been an item for a long while and she had known that it was just a matter of time before he proposed. Especially after the promise they made when they were kids.
It was funny. Sometimes things like that didn't always work out. Young love rarely lasted past a certain stage and yet Kafei had remained loyal and true. Likewise, she had done the same.
Though now that it was bound to happen and they were to be wed, there was excitement, but also a bit of apprehension. Part of that was her mother's doing, the other...
...she still wasn't certain. Fear of the unknown, perhaps?
Maybe that's why she was procrastinating a little more than usual. She still hadn't finished her mask for the carnival! Maybe she should try getting to that today!
With her head in the clouds, she hardly notices the time until her attention snaps over toward the door. Someone was eager to get in this morning! After all it was only...
8:45 ]
Oh! [ A soft exclamation escapes her as she hurries to the door and unlocks it, opening it a second later to peer outside. ]
I'm terribly sorry! We were supposed to be open earlier, I hope I didn't keep you wai--[ Wait. Is that..? ]
Cremia?
<3
Anju! Hey! I thought you might be closed up today for a moment there.
[She walks back over as if it's nothing, still smiling. It feels like it's been such a long time since she's seen her, but it probably hasn't been but so long. Anju looks the same as ever, thin wisp of a girl she's always been. It makes Cremia want to laugh to think about it, but she manages to keep it back.]
I, ah, I had to make a delivery to the bar myself today, so I thought I would stop by to check in before I went back to the ranch.
[A part of her mind grumbles about how hypocritical she's being, lying about such a frivolous thing when she's harped on Romani so many times about her "ghosts".]
... So! How have you been doing? Is business at the inn still doing well?
Re: <3
I'm sorry about that. I was supposed to unlock the door a little earlier... I got a sidetracked.
[ Something does seem a little bit off about Cremia--just in her initial composure, but Anju dismisses it almost immediately when she smiles and approaches. After all, it has been a while.
She returns her friend's smile and opens the door wider. What a pleasant surprise! ]
I'm so glad that you did! I've been good and business has been steady. Things have been just a little busy as of late.
[ Understatement of the century. ]
With the carnival in just a few weeks, we're preparing for the big rush of people and... [ Nervous pause is nervous. Maybe she would be a little less nervous if she got her mask done! ] I'm... sure you got my letter. I'm getting married--so we're planning for my wedding at the same time. Needless to say, it has my mother a little high-strung...
[ Come to think of it, it is overwhelming now that she puts all of that together. But! Regardless, she's still smiling. ]
Ah! But where are my manners? If you're not in a hurry, won't you come inside? [ She steps to the side, out of the doorway. ] We could talk for a while.
no subject
[She pauses, casting a glance back at the gate as if debating the matter when it's already a foregone conclusion.]
I suppose it couldn't hurt anything. I left Romani in charge of things back home, so it should be fine for now.
[She follows Anju in, letting her eyes drift around the lobby to keep them from lingering on Anju for too long. Her hand goes up to brush her hair back again, and she finally looks back at Anju with a smile.]
You look like you've been doing alright out here. I'd almost been worried you'd have gotten yourself into some trouble without someone around to keep you straight.
[Her grin fades just a bit.]
Ha, though I guess that's not going to be the case anymore, is it?
[Her eyes fixate on the smaller girl, her expression increasingly forced. She should be glad that her friend is getting married, that she's found someone to keep her company and make her happy. But... For some reason it just isn't working.]
no subject
I won't keep you too long. That's a pretty big responsibility for a little girl.
[ Cremia's next comment makes her laugh a little. It's sad, but true and Anju can't help but agree. Naivety and kindness isn't always a good combination. In her case, doubly so. But she can't help but feel that she hasn't really had much room to make some mistakes and learn... ]
Oh no! I've been fine, really. My mother keeps me on the right track. [ And makes one too many decisions for me. And is slightly overbearing. And... yeah. ]
But yes... I... I'll definitely be happier with Kafei by my side. [ She pauses and then quickly adds: ] N-not that I don't love my mother.
[ Nervous side-glance. Thankfully her mother is out for the day. With all of that on her mind, the forced expression that Cremia is making goes completely over her head. For now. ]
But how have you been? It feels like it's been ages since I last saw you.
no subject
I'm glad you're happy, then.
[It's a lie. She hates that it's a lie - it makes her feel petty and selfish, a feeling she'd already been struggling with after her father passed away. She has to stay at the ranch to keep it in business, to watch over her little sister and make sure she doesn't grow up to be a little delinquent... It's like having skipped over getting married and jumping straight into motherhood, without the benefit of a third party. It's her responsibility, and she's long since accepted that, but sometimes...
Sometimes she's reminded of the things she's missed out on the ranch.]
Romani needs to start taking on more responsibilities, anyway. Besides, I've already finished most of the harder work. It's the nights that are more troublesome, to be honest. Someone's been coming and smashing milk bottles at night, but I haven't been able to catch them in the act yet. Romani thinks it's ghosts, but I think it might be someone trying to damage our business.
[She sighs wistfully. This never happened when he was still alive.]
Sorry, I didn't mean to be depressing. This is supposed to be a happy time, right?
[She does a better job of keeping her cheerful front up this time, mostly by pushing those thoughts aside for now. She's glad Anju's mother isn't around. Anju's grandmother, though eccentric, was at least interesting and polite enough, if she had any idea who it was she was talking to (people other than Anju). That mother of hers, though, it always seemed impossible to please her, to the point that Cremia had never been inclined to try.]
The festival is coming up soon, isn't it?
no subject
That was... far more overwhelming to think about than her own busy schedule. Not to mention a little bit scary as well. ]
Oh, Cremia... Don't apologize. This clearly isn't very happy time for you. I didn't even realize... I'm so sorry...
[ She moves forward and wraps her arms around Cremia, pulling her into a gentle hug. ]
Is there anything that I can do to help?
no subject
... You...
[Her hands clench against Anju's back for a moment, and her voice, though quieter, still carries a bit of that forced tone. It's selfish of her to impose her problems on Anju, heaven knows it's all the poor girl's mother ever does. But... Right now, in this moment, with her arms wrapped around her frail frame... maybe it's okay to be selfish for a moment.]
... Would it be alright if we just... stayed like this for now?
[Slowly, she relaxes against Anju, head tucked neatly against hers. She's trying to still sound cheerful and aloof, but it's not very effective, not anymore.]
Jeez... I really didn't come all the way up here to make you feel bad, Anju.
no subject
[ Anju turns her head so that she can rest her cheek against Cremia's shoulder. She closes her eyes once she feels the other girl relax against her. Good. That's good. ]
We can stay like this for as long as you need.
[ In a slow circular motion, she rubs Cremia's back. One thing is for certain; she is definitely going to make a bigger effort to visit Cremia more often in the future. Just imagining how lonely she must be makes her feel she should have thought of it sooner...
What a horrible friend she is... Her mother would probably say the same. ]
