THE CRIMINAL AU MEME

Warning: This meme will contain violent content and possible triggers.

HOW TO PLAY:
1) Post a comment below, detailing your character and canon. For best results, DO NOT LEAVE THIS COMMENT BLANK; pick a role, or an AU, or write up a little on what you'd like to explore with your character.
2) Tag around and make magic happen.
3) If you get stuck, use RNG to select from the options below.

THE ROLE.
1) Criminal. (The one who committed the act.)
2) Law enforcement. (Cop, FBI, prison guard.)
3) Witness. (What did you see?)
4) Victim. (Probably not applicable in the case of murder. … Probably.)
5) Lawyer, judge, or paralegal. (Participant in the legal system.)
6) Private security. (Unaffiliated, but with an interest in keeping your client safe. Or in getting your target caught.)
7) Other. (Let your imagination go wild.)

THE CRIME.
1) ROBBERY. The crime of stealing via force or threat or fear.
You need the money. You're desperate. You have the gun, the convenience store is right there, and everything will be better once you've finished the job.

Or maybe you've been hired. Provide a little intimidation, and someone else will take care of all your problems.

Or it's a thrill. Rolling across the country, robbing banks as you go. A Bonnie & Clyde crime spree, and it can only end one way.

2) BURGLARY. Illegal entry into a building for the purposes of committing theft.
Non-violence, for you; you're just going to break in, take this one thing. Maybe a television, to sell for the cash. Maybe some jewelry, a computer.

Or maybe you're a master thief, dangling from a wire into a museum. Sliding through the air ducts of a skyscraper in search of a particular little item.

3) GRAND THEFT AUTO. The criminal act of stealing a motor vehicle.
You know your cars. And you can steal one in under 60 seconds. Better hope you don't get tripped up with one of those newfangled security systems.

4) MURDER. The act of killing another.
He had to die. He had to, and the guilt of knowing where you buried the body, of knowing that the police are coming after you -- it's starting to wear down your sanity.

5) SERIAL MURDER. A crime involving the killing of three or more people over a period of more than a month.
You have a drive to kill. Again, and again. Nothing satisfies it, nothing stops it. Maybe you hate yourself. Maybe you hate the human scum who only exist to go under your knife.

Or maybe you're a professional hit man. You've killed dozens, you know how it goes. It's just business.

6) CONSPIRACY. An agreement between two or more persons to break the law at some time in the future.
Mafia, Yakuza, crime families who keep their operations quiet under pain of death, dishonor, betrayal of the family. You're part of one of these operations, whether as a patriarch or a peon.

7) FRAUD. Intentional deception made for personal gain.
Blackmail. Cover-ups. Insider trading -- the marks of corporate crime. Perhaps you're a CEO who thinks they can do whatever they want. Perhaps your business is on the rocks and you just need a little time to make your golden parachute before you ditch it.

Or maybe you meant to destroy it. Maybe you're a professional con man, and you're stepping away from your latest conquest with plenty of cash in hand.

8) KIDNAPPING. The false imprisonment of another person against their will.
Do you do it for the ransom? For the money? For revenge?

Or is it a hostage situation, with dozens of prisoners, for some sort of political gain?

9) TERRORISM. The systematic use of terror, especially as a means of coercion.
For a religion, for a philosophy. But -- are you a terrorist, or are you a freedom fighter? It might just be a matter of point of view.

10) WILD CARD. For any crime not mentioned above.

[ He first broke into Gaila's and Uhura's shared dormitory to grab the shirt that had inevitably been left behind. Not a problem, really, not an issue at all except there was a bit of a miscommunication that had lead to ultimately someone being angry with him, and he'd wanted to avoid confrontation with either of the two roommates really. It was for the best, right? Right.

Jim was fairly good at picking apart codes for doors. Had been doing it an awful lot lately, for fun, simply testing the security systems and filtering out bugs in the system. The skill came in handy for situations like this, in which he grabbed his shirt to tuck in his bag and should have been going on his merry way - he would, of course, was planning on doing so when the little lacy string dangling from one of the dresser drawers caught his attention. ]

Best to leave. It's just one of those sort of things, right? Something they do. [ He was mumbling a bit to himself about Orion practices and clothing options, curiosity getting the better of him more and more. What's a peek going to hurt? He pulled the garment free from the drawer, inspecting it. Cultural diversity. Had to take the learning opportunity as it was. ]

( ooc: also i'm sorry he's ridiculous. )

[ Fortunately for Kirk, Uhura doesn't bring men back to her shared dormitory. Although she is fond of Gaila, the two women were very different. Oh, Uhura knew how to have fun, but she also spent many a night away from her room studying, listening to communications, and such. Yes, she was very dedicated.

Of course, whether some of those nights of studying might have been spent under a certain teacher's tutelage was absolutely no one's business.

The thing was, if Kirk had just taken his shirt and left, he wouldn't have gotten caught. But no, he had to snoop, he just had to go looking through Uhura's underwear drawer.

She's smiling when the door swooshes open as she's saying goodbye to a friend. Kirk has mere moments before she walks in to see him. Chances are, she won't be too pleased. Be glad she's still a cadet without a gun, on stun or not. ]

[ Which sort of explained why Jim had never seen this sort of lingerie on Gaila before. Really, colors he never thought she would have worn. Most of them actually quite plain and boring and uninteresting and things he'd seen on girls hundreds of times. The lacy one, though, this one was nice - red lace, lovely, with this tiny little white bow in the middle. Not that Jim was a panty raider or anything, but he knew he was in a bit of trouble with the girl, and maybe he could just - slip these into his pocket --

Except right as he was about to do so, there was the sound of a familiar voice walking into the dormitory. Caught redhanded. Literally. Drawer open right in front of him, Jim thought it best to shove the little lacy thing into the drawer as fast as possible, nearly breaking his hand in the process of trying to shove the drawer back in place. ] Oh. Uh. Hey. It's you. What do you know?

[ Uhura is anything but pleased. Oh, if looks could kill. It doesn't help that she caught him closing HER underwear drawer. If it had been Gaila's, she probably wouldn't have been nearly as angry. Still, finding Kirk in her room, alone, is more than enough to get her blood boiling. ]

Are you kidding me? [ She's really not cool with your blase attitude, by the way. ] What are you doing in here? How did you get in here?

[ She stalked closer to him, glaring, but also considering what was close enough and heavy enough to throw at him, possibly doing permanent damage. ] And why would you possibly be looking through my drawer?

Well, you see, that's a very interesting question that I definitely have all of the answers to. [ Clearing his throat. Oh, yes, he does have an answer. It's just taking him a moment and sort of pulling back against the drawer. ]

I'm in here because - well, Gaila asked me to come in and get something for her, uh, she was working out and decided to take a shower, wanted to be a bit freshened up? [ Come on, little white lies, do your magic. He's sort of trying to hide the underwear behind his back. ] Figured I'd be a great guy and go help her out a bit - wait. This is your drawer?

[ He glances behind him. No kidding, huh. ]

Well that explains a lot.

[ Oh, Kirk. Your lies are even less believable when Uhura is already quite annoyed with you. It didn't help that the last time you were in here, you saw her in her underwear. It's not that she's particularly modest about her body, but she didn't go around flaunting it, either. She wasn't like Gaila, who had a different boy over every other week.

So Nyota narrowed her eyes, crossing her arms over her chest. ]

Oh? Does it really? Does it really explain a lot? [ Her voice is practically dripping with sarcasm. ] Please, I would just love to hear all about what it explains. Keep talking, really.

[ This can't be good. ]
