lights out!

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!

[ He froze when the lights suddenly turned off in the whole office... whole building even. Worried that someone may be onto his hacking, he quickly yanked out his USB drive and hoped that the sudden power out wiped any trace of him in the system. The last thing he needed was to be caught doing something untoward in Wolfram and Hart. ]

[The lights come on, and he whirls around to see who just made that noise, only to have darkness engulf both of them again.]

Oh, screw this.

[There's some fabric rustling, like someone rifling through their pockets, and then a long string of profanity - he obviously didn't find what he was looking for.]

[ when he came to, he didn't expect nothing to change when he cracked open his eyes-- or to be propped up in a corner. the air was stale and judging by as he raised a hand to rub at his eyes he banged his elbow into a fucking shelf, the area was fairly cramped as well. what the hell had happened before he'd ended up here? ]

Alan Wake

[ There is just some creepy laughter and the sound of metal scraping against a wall. It's probably best not to wonder what's lurking in this darkness. Especially when there's probably Taken about. ]

[Darkness at first, then light, then darkness again. On and off it continues to flicker as unseen shadows rise in the dark and take the shape of human figures. The smokey mass swirls around their outer forms and then vanish completely once the light hits the surface.

If only the light would stay on though, then he'd be safe from these Taken. But they're playing with him, teasing him, letting him know that they are in control of this situation.

And that laughter. It sounds as though it's all around him, and then nowhere at all. Its a voice without a body, blending perfectly with the dark. It is, after all, this creature's natural habitat. And its mocking him.]

[And he didn't like being somewhere in the dark. All too dark. He's just reaching out to try to get a feel for the place and hold onto the wall with one hand, why holding the other out to probe whatever might be in the way.

Wait, what's this? It's oddly soft and warm.]

[ Normally, he would be able to see in the dark well enough to get around, but this pitch darkness has him fumbling around like a novice. Few seconds later, he touches something soft, like flesh ... UH.

Did he just touch someone's ass? ]

Well, that was unexpected.
