The Soulmate 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.

[ He was bleeding out and pale; Amy had thrown herself down to him, pulled his head into his lap and tried to help him, to do anything- but the TARDIS was too far away. He was off, thirty or forty feet away, arguing with an alien race they had come to help rescue- 'Save him, save him, you have to save him.'

She, on the other hand, refused to leave him, even as she held his cheeks in his hands and tried to ignore the burning in her eyes. ]


Hey. Hey, you've got to stay awake- the Doctor is figuring something out now, Rory. Rory.

[How many times has he died or almost died? He's honestly lost count. Twice? Three times? Maybe more. No more than ten, he's sure. These thoughts are way in the background of any other thoughts in his head. Fear, of course. There's always fear, because what if the Doctor can't fix this this time, what if he leaves her alone? What if, what if what if.

He's never, ever able to keep that fear out of his eyes. Out of his voice. He doesn't even remember what happened.

Does that even matter?]


Amy. Amy...

[ And that's what she was afraid of, too, desperately so. He couldn't leave her- not again. It wasn't fair, wasn't allowed. ]

Hey. Talk to me.

[ She won't cry, not when she knows the tears will drop right onto his face. ]

Tell me about- something. Anything. That dog you wanted- what was she? A German Shepherd?

Irish...setter. Get along with kids. So it'd probably like the Doctor.

[ She doesn't realize that her chest has seized until he opens his eyes again, and she presses her hand to his cheek, sliding her fingers up through his hair. ]

Ha. Hilarious. You can tell him that one when he gets back here to patch you up. Alright?

[He tries to relax, to breathe easier, but it's so hard. So difficult and he keeps coughing.]

He's not...is he a medical doctor? I can't remember. What happened. Is there an exit wound? Definitely a haemothorax.

[It truly must suck to be a nurse and dying.]

He's going to bring someone to patch you up, then. Really, you silly boy, do you have to dissect everything like that?

[ Amy is left ducking her head down, pushing her forehead briefly to his as she runs the pad of her thumb across his cheek. Distraught. She's doing her best to hide her distress, but honestly, she's not doing a fantastic job of it. ]

Let's talk about something else.

[He reaches up to touch her cheek, her hair. But his fingers are bloody, and he's reluctant to get that all over her.]

What. Like what?

[personal profile] therunningthing 2013-04-29 05:57 am (UTC)(link)
[ She doesn't care, and it's clear by the way she's lifting her own hand, covering his and holding it against her cheek. (There the tears are, by the way, dropping hot onto his face.) ]

River's due for a visit tomorrow. She told me the last time she was in.
tallymarkedman: (ohh god)

[personal profile] tallymarkedman 2013-04-29 06:01 am (UTC)(link)
[He doesn't care. He really doesn't. Something else to keep him focused, however little.]

Will she stay long?

[Especially if he dies?]

[ The Doctor is yelling, over where he stands with the aliens. Amy doesn't want to think about what that might mean, and instead just squeezes Rory's fingers. ]

No idea. I was thinking we might all go out. You know- as a family.

[Mwu can't really say he is surprised at this match. Murrue was just... Murrue. Someone he was comfortable with being around, someone who had made him see a few things a little different than before.

He holds out a cup of coffee as she surely looked like she needed one.]


Is everything alright, Captain?

[He could just imagine what the Doctor is yelling about. Just about. He closed his eyes again, for a moment.]

That'd be nice. Him too?
