The Soulmates Meme


The Soulmate Meme
A soulmate (or soul mate) is believed by some to be the person with whom one has a feeling of deep or natural affinity, similarity, love, sex, intimacy, sexuality, spirituality, or compatibility.

In our world, the concept of soulmates is quaint, but frankly antiquidated. But somewhere out there, in the vast cosmos, there is a world that still values this tradition. No, not just values. Society is practically built around it. After all, they've found the powers of the soulmates. When they're together, both halves of the whole can find a peace that is desired by all; not only that, either, but also the two can unlock the. Everyone is believed to have a soulmate, and those who have yet to find there's a sense of emptiness that cannot be filled by other distractions. There are few limits on who can be destined for each other. The fates have often chosen people completely opposite of each other, some even on opposing sides or factions. Attraction between soulmates is instantaneous upon the first meeting, though relationship styles can very. It's almost always romantic, but sometimes not sexual, despite that usually being the case. Some even say that procreation can only be done by soulmates, but that's only a rumor and highly untested. Yet this bond is not always sunlight and rainbows. You'll practically feel each other emotions

The problem, of course, comes in finding one (if you even want to at all, as some rebel against the system as much as they can). How many people are out there, and what's the probability of finding them in a lifetime? What if they're not in the same country or even the same planet! There's also the dilemma of having only one soulmate. Though people can have plenty of lovers, those in this world can only find true satisfaction from their other half.

It's a twisted and difficult web, and sometimes unmatched people can face prejudice from those around them and the established order, but finding that one special person is said to trump all of that.

HOW TO PLAY:
1. Comment with your character
2. Reply around, using whatever option you want OR the RNG.
3. Play out some threads. Be soulmates, friends, other lovers, etc.
Prompts
1. First Meeting: You'll feel the spark almost on first sight. Yes, he's not your type. No, she's is a villain and your a hero. It doesn't matter. You can't chose these things.
2. Not Accepting: No, this person can't be it! They're so...so not what you've expected!
3. We Belong Together: You've decided to come together, like it's intended, and you're reaping the benefits.
4. Like Ships in the Night: The obligatory sex option. The two of you are cementing your bond in the most traditional of ways, and you'll soon learn that sex with others can't compare to sex with someone who's completely yours.
5. Stronger as Two: In battle or in life, the two of you combined are unstoppable.
6. There's Someone Else You've met your soulmate...but you're with someone else. Now that you know your other half is out there for sure, can you keep that up?
7. Love Will Tear Us Apart: Someone is hurting one half of the pair, and it's bringing pain to both of you. Maybe you can protect or save the other.
8. Not Fortune's Fool: You're flying solo. You have no intention of becoming a matched pair. Forget about what anybody else says, just focus on you.
9. Soulmates Never Die: Except when they do. Somehow, yours has passed on or is dying in your arms, leaving you alone in the world. How do you feel?
10. WILDCARD: Choose your own.

France is walking along taking in the beauty of the world. It is cold, but the air is crisp and clean and the blue skies are clear. All is beautiful, all is well.

But there is such a thing as too much beauty, though it is something he has experienced only a few times.

He stops dead in his tracks, eyes trained on the young man.

"Mon dieu, such beauty," he says, pained. An arm lifts to drape across his forehead. He cannot fall in love now. He has somebody. Somebody he cares for deeply.

[Phil has always loved the Captain America mythos, that's no surprise to anyone who's known her for any real length of time. The idea that a small, skinny, asthmatic kid could surmount incredible odds to become a heroic symbol during one of the darkest times in modern history was very inspiring to her, a similarly small, skinny (though not asthmatic) kid.

So it's not much of a surprise that she gets very excited when the news comes in that they've found Captain America. Her excitement only builds when she finds out that he's still alive.

She'd always been told that when you meet your soulmate, you just know. There's no shower of sparks, no heavenly light, no jolt that zings up your spine. Just the calm acceptance that you've found your soul's other half. She'd never really believed in it — because let's face it, that sounds stupid — until she stood on the launch pad, waiting for her childhood hero to appear so she could shuttle him off to the Helicarrier. The instant she laid her eyes on him, something inside of her at once settled down and leaped up, jumping for joy. Yes, it seemed to scream. That's him.

She tried not to let it show on her face. It didn't matter. They had a job to do. And by the end of the whole Loki incident, she had just wanted to hide away. She'd made a complete ass out of herself, and during a time of crisis too. It was mortifying, and her shame helped damp down the insistent urge to go be close to him.

It helped that she was still in the hospital and literally couldn't leave her bed.]

Soldier boy wasn't in the plan. There wasn't anyone in the plan, as far as Natasha was concerned, this was strictly a professional association. It was only natural to feel close to the people that risked their lives for you. Clint, Tony, Thor.. all of them had her allegiance in that regard.

Steve though, he was different. Natasha couldn't figure out why.

Could be because he held the door open, stood whenever she left the table, and took the time to listen and wait patiently. Steve had always liked strong and confident women. Romanov was no different. He parked his bike in the garage and made his way up to the lockers where he asked someone to put the small box of chocolates and flowers in Romanov's locker. He had no idea what her actual birthday was so any day was as good as any to leave a birthday surprise in her locker.

The who that put them there must have thought it was some kind of joke. Or more than likely it was Tony and Clint that thought she needed to loosen up a little. She could see why it might appeal to their natures to try and coax the ex-Russian and the American poster boy into spending more time together.

Natasha stared at the flowers suspiciously. They weren't the first, and wouldn't be the last gift sent her way. Though she didn't know what expectation was behind this, and honestly, she couldn't imagine Steve's intention was anything but friendly.

That didn't mean she was going to let him get away with it.

"Rogers! I want an explanation!"
