Quoth The Raven



The Last Words Meme

This is it. The final curtain. You're at the end of your life, and there's someone here you really, really need to say something to before you die.

HOW IT WORKS:

I.

Comment with your character. Using random.org or a similar site, the first character to post rolls for their cause of death and how long they have left to live. Or you can leave it blank and let the person commenting choose for you!

II.

Responding characters then roll for the relationship between the two of you. Optionally responding characters can also share your cause of death/time left to live or roll for their own, but that's not required. A living character caring for (or horribly mutilating) a dying one is fine, too.

III.

Tell the person what you need to tell them before you bite it.

CAUSE OF DEATH:

I.

Accidental. Nobody meant for this to happen, but it doesn't matter now. Due to negligence, arrogance or just plain bad luck, you've become gravely ill or injured and are now in your last moments. This covers all kinds of accidental deaths--strangulation, drowning, car accidents, unintentional beheadings, whatever you can think of. 

II. 
Murder. Somebody really didn't like you. Enough to kill you, it seems. You're now dead by someone else's hand. (Maybe even the person replying to you?) As with accidental death, this covers all types of intentional, malicious murder, regardless of method--so poisoning, stabbing, shooting, etc., all work here. Same with all the below options: any possible variation you can think of on it will work! 

III. 
Suicide. There is no hope for you, and no way out. You've reached the absolute bottom pits of despair, and the only recourse you have is to take your own life. Someone shows up to stop you... but they're too late to help you now. 

IV. 
Terminal illness. You have cancer, or tuberculosis, or cholera back when people got cholera. The doctors have done everything they could and it wasn't enough. The only thing to do now is give your loved ones the bad news. 

V. 
Starvation. So thirsty. So hungry. Maybe you've been traveling in the desert for hours, or maybe you're just really poor. Whatever the reason, it doesn't matter, because you're slowly wasting away until you're nothing but skin and bones. 

VI. 
Death in battle. You've died a hero's death, and gone out in a blaze of glory. Or maybe you were a coward who got shot for deserting? Either way, you're now a casualty of war. Will you be honored with a parade or scorned as a traitor to your country? 

VII. 
Natural causes. You've lived a long, happy life, and now your story is at an end. In a warm bed, surrounded by your family and friends, you peacefully drift off. Just make sure that you've made a will somewhere, or at least use your deathbed to set the record straight. Otherwise, who knows what kind of squabbles might errupt after you leave this world? 

TIME LEFT

I. 
A few minutes. You're fading fast and you don't have much, well, any time left. Better tell the person with you that you love -- or despise-- them with your last breath, because you'll never have the chance otherwise. 

II. 
A few hours. You haven't got much time left. Is there someone you still need to kill? To kiss? Better do it quick. (Note: last kisses not recommended for people dying of highly contagious illnesses.) 

III. 
A few days. The doctors have given you the news, and it's not very good. You've only got a couple days left to live. You should start trying to make peace with people and saying your final goodbyes with the days you have left. 

IV. 
A few weeks. Take that vacation you've always wanted to go on but never had the chance to. Go do that thing you've never thought you'd be any good at. You've got only weeks left to live. Don't waste them. 

V. 
A few months. While you aren't quite on death's doorstep yet, your lifespan has still dwindled considerably from what you probably thought it would be. How are you going to spend your last few months on Earth? Making the world a better place and telling your family you love them? Or raising as much hell as possible? 

RELATIONSHIP

I. 
Lovers. This is your husband, wife, boyfriend, girlfriend, mistress - they were the person you wanted to spend your life with. Too bad you don't have much of a life to spend with them anymore. 

II. 
Siblings. Your beloved little or older sibling is just standing there, watching you slowly waste away before their eyes. Can you say anything to comfort them? Note that it doesn't necessarily have to be interpreted literally; adopted siblings and friends so close they might as well be siblings work too. 

III. 
Parent and child. Nothing is worse than a parent having to bury their child... except, maybe, a young child now alone in the world after losing their parent. As with the sibling prompt, this can be expanded to include parental figures and people who are LIKE a father/mother to you as well as actual biological parents. 

IV. 
Co-workers, teammates or classmates. You were fighting for the same side. Or you worked together in the same office for years. Or they sat behind you in biology all semester. However you met, how do your react when you find out someone who used to be a fixture in your life is going to die? 

V. 
Friends. You're the best of friends! You go everywhere together, know all each other's secrets, and are never seen apart. At least, you didn't use to be. Now one of you is dying and the other one is left alone in the world. Or maybe you're dying together. Wait, is that better or worse? 

VI. 
Bitter enemies. You hate, hate, hate this person. In fact, maybe you killed them. Or they killed you. Or maybe nobody killed anybody and they're just bitter that Mother Nature got to you before they did. Regardless, they want to confront you one last time before you bite it, if only to rub your nose in your imminent demise and their ability to outlive you.

[Well seemed like the gig was up and her cover was blown. Man, they really screwed it up this time, and it seemed like Abigail was the one left holding the metaphorical bag. But then who the hell would believe all the rumors about just what the hell this place was. Seemed like a simple enough job, but now pinned against a wall unable to breathe it became apparent that something had gone wrong.

Despite the danger that she was in though, Abigail's eye kept a determined look. She wasn't just going to give up, So while it might have been futile she tried, pulling up on the arm choking her and kicking at the woman that seemed impossibly strong.]
scarlet_devil: ([Adult] Not happy)

[personal profile] scarlet_devil 2022-03-12 05:05 pm (UTC)(link)
You should never have come here without an invite. Now your fate is sealed, as is your companions.

[ She could kick at Remilia all she wanted, Remilia was not even flinching in the slightest, nor does her hold on her loosen at all. She can respect not giving up... a little, but now it was too late.

She adjusts her grip, now holding her with one impossibly strong hand. ]
pessimistic_ballet: (Red cap)

[personal profile] pessimistic_ballet 2022-03-13 11:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[Joke was on her, the others would be gone already and wouldn't be setting foot around. There had been at least that much of a signal that had gotten out. Unless that brat screwed things up, he was probably crying and spilling his guts right about now.

Abi tried to say something but the grip was too tight, she couldn't get any air to form words. Her lungs were starting to burn. Well if she couldn't say something at the moment, she'd express herself in another way. Kicking might not have done anything to the vampire, but Abi still held up a hand and simply gave her the middle finger. Eyes not losing focus as they bore a hole into hers, the disdain and anger clear.]
scarlet_devil: ([Adult] Grr...)

[personal profile] scarlet_devil 2022-03-13 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[ The vampire reacts to that by grabbing that finger and pulling it back, she even loosens her grip just enough that Remilia would hear that scream. She was just about to end it by biting her, too. ]
pessimistic_ballet: (Just die)

[personal profile] pessimistic_ballet 2022-03-14 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
[It worked, Abigail gasped for air though she gritted her teeth refusing to scream out from the pain of having her finger broken. She'd been through worse, felt worse, she'd been forced to endure hell on Earth as a child. A broken finger was nothing.

Managing a deep breath she coughed, her throat not cooperating after almost being crushed.]

You should hire a better maid.
scarlet_devil: ([Adult] Nom)

[personal profile] scarlet_devil 2022-03-14 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
Sakuya is worth a thousand of you... but enough talk!

[ Remilia, angry and impatient, unsheathes her fangs and bites hard into her victim's neck... and none too gently at that. Uncaring of the blood pouring forth, she greedily swallows as much as she can drink... ]
pessimistic_ballet: (Just a job)

[personal profile] pessimistic_ballet 2022-03-14 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
Go ahead.

[Abigail's eyes widened as the fangs sunk into her neck. It hurt, worse than the finger that was still broken and starting to swell and discolor on her hand. It was a pain that matched every pain she'd felt since she was a child. The warmth dripped down her neck, being able to feel her pulse throughout her body as the life was drained from her. She saw visions of her childhood, her first ballet, the years of practice. Then she saw the explosion, the ruined medal, and remains of her parents, the gun and thing she was forced to pick up after that loss. All the times she had wanted to die, all the times she had almost died doing stupid shit. And now here it was, it would be doing something for that blonde asshole was getting her killed. And she had just warned Edamura about the dangers of this life too. He'd probably blame himself for all this.]

I'm sorry Edamame.

[personal profile] scarlet_devil 2022-03-14 09:19 am (UTC)(link)
[ It was a more peaceful death than Sakuya would give her, that's for sure...
Remilia keeps feeding, determined to drain her dry. ]
pessimistic_ballet: (Red cap)

[personal profile] pessimistic_ballet 2022-03-25 10:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[After the initial bite it didn't really hurt much, but Abi felt cold as more and more of the blood was drained from her body. It was hard to try to move, or even just to keep her head up, her eyelids felt so heavy as well.

Well, at least now she didn't have to put up with any more of that blonde asshole. Or whining from Edamame. She wouldn't have to worry about impressing a mark, or doing something wreckless either. Everything just fell silent, went numb, and then in the end there was darkness; peace.]
scarlet_devil: (Default)

[personal profile] scarlet_devil 2022-03-25 10:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[ When she was done, she had no more use for this human and simply tossed the drained corpse aside, no longer caring what happened after...

As she killed her through draining, though, she'll rise as a zombie under her control, or ghoul as Remilia herself would call them. She'll probably order it to walk into sunlight and burn away... the only mercy she's willing to show. ]
