We have ways of making you talk.

[setlist]

The Interrogation Meme

Your crimes were unspeakable, your lies were innumerable, but finally you've been caught. They bring you in, sit you down, and chain you up. No matter what power you have, no matter how strong you are, you're not going anywhere, so get comfy.

It's going to be a long night.

Rules

1. Post with your character, canon, and any prefs. Note whether captor or captive.


2. Tag around to other characters.


3. Roll for an option.

RNG OPTIONS

1. Truth serum: You know this person isn't going to confess easily, but you've got a surprise for them. This serum ought to loosen their lips a little.


2. Torture: The old-fashioned way might work best for this particular subject. How about those thumbscrews?


3. Bargain: You've got something they really want, or really need. If they fess up, if they tell the truth of the matter, they'll get it.


4. Blackmail: So, remember that night about ten years ago...? You know something they don't want the rest of the world to know and you're going to use it.


5. Seduction: Just because they're tied to a chair doesn't mean you two can't have a little fun, right?

Angel | OC

[graveling]

[Captured by someone who wants to know what he is, perhaps? Or working to get information on behalf of someone else. More likely to use intimidation than go for outright torture, and seduction is straight out.]

Maedhros | the silmarillion | ota

[holdshisown]

[Good luck making him talk.]

Claire Bennet ∞ Heroes ∞ OTA

[infinite1ups]

( Probably the one being questioned. Maybe seeking information about other superpowered individuals that she's hiding? Or asking her about her own ability. Open to ideas! )

[closely]

(  the interrogated — m/m for shipping angles. detailed prefs / info . please note there are spoilers for him specifically. )

[not_actually_a_bad_guy]

(I can roll pretty much either way with this.)

celegorm 🐕 tolkien's legendarium / ota

[kyelek]

( either or, lol. he's got uuuuh canon experience being the captor but give me some canon twisties where melkor gets him or sth )

[holdshisown]

[How about a pissed off older brother that won't let you leave the room until he's gotten every single detail of your escapades in Nargothrond?]

[kyelek]

👍 🙏 🤲

[holdshisown]

Maedhros had spent the first hour since his brothers had arrived in Himring in a rage, though you wouldn't think it by the way he was carrying himself when he finaly walked inside the room where Tyelko was being held. A comfortable enough place, if one ignored the fact that Maedhros had given orders that his brother was not to leave it, Curvo was stewing in a similar room in the other end of Himring at the moment but he would have to wait until Maedhros was done here before he dealt with him.

"Sit." He comanded his brother once he finaly saw fit to adress him. "We have much to speak about before this evening is over and I will not do so while you are pacing like a wild animal in a cage."

[kyelek]

𝕸ore manifest, as ever, was Tyelko's frenzied state. He loved Himring not, a barren land that lay far away from the hunts he enjoyed. Cold and isolate, the walls of the fortress were to him a dungeon cell, even without his brother's mandate. Pacing—yes, much like some trapped creature—his head whipped 'round to see the door, and Maitimo enter.

Without an effort to mend his tempo, it well seemed, Tyelko's steps echoed on the stone. Closing fast the distance between them, then he turned again just before meeting his brother; his face or his ask. ❛ I will not say a word to you– ❜ Safe to rescind any compliance, evidently. ❛ –whilst you would keep your own as prisoners! ❜

[holdshisown]

Maedhros knew well he might be the only one who truly loved Himring and the lands around it. Cold and desolate as they were he found a strange sort of beauty in them, it gave him a sense of peace he rarely found anywhere else in life. But, it also had more practical uses as well, like putting his unruly brothers on edge when he wanted to force an awnser from them.

Anger will get him nowhere here, likely anger is exactly what Tyelko want's from him in a way. A crack in the icy facade that gives away a weakness to exploit, to push him into enough of a rage to simply send him and Curvo away to be somebody elses headache. If that is what he's after he'll not find it here. "Then I'll suppose you'll stay in this room for a very long time, brother," he simply points out while his face remains as cold and stony as the lands he's made his home. "Hmm. And how should I keep you then, do you think? Did you think the tales of your exploits would not reach my ears? Or did you simply think I wouldn't care? You have put me in a rather precarious situation, Tyelko, and I do hope you did not do so knowingly or maliciously." And with that he fixes his brother with a stern look. "But you have as of yet not given me a reason to think otherwise. So... do explain yourself, dear brother, I am curious about what it was you hoped to accomplish."

Clint Barton/Hawkeye | MCU

[eyeofthehawk]

[The one captured as it's what he's trained for and used to, also dealer's choice on the method.]

Tyrion Lannister | ASOIAF / GoT | OTA

[largeshadow]

{ Either role. Though if Tyrion is doing the questioning it'd likely fall more into mental tactics than physical abuse. }

jinx — arcane.

[opheliac]

( can be either role, but captive would be more fun! )

rick grimes | the walking dead

[machetewitharedhandle]

[ ota, canon or cross canon. most likely to be the captor. not interested in 5. ]

Kabal | Mortal Kombat | OTA

[hooked_on_kaballin]

[He is absolutely the one being interrogated.]

Dick Grayson | Titans

[captainpunch]

[ I'm good with any role or prompt, though if Dick is the captor then options like seduction and torture will probably be off the table. ]

Finn McNamara ▲ Life is Strange 2

[drawl]

( ota, crosscanon/medium, ocs. definitely the captive. open to all options! )

Eligre Kaivodulin || High fantasy OC || OTA

[lady_kaivodulin]

[Either role.]

Erek King/Erek the Chee | Animorphs | OTA

[technicalpacifist]

[ Probably the captured since he's both unable to hurt anyone and has a habit of sneaking around places he's not supposed to be. Can work with pretty much any time period or setting since he's an alien android who's been playing human for a long, long time. Cross-canon, OCs, AUs welcome. No 5 but he'll play along with physical coercion and blackmail/bargaining can be pretty effective. ]

Justin Martingale | OC | OTA

[unluckyagent]

[He's a secret agent, so surely enemies would want information from him, right? (Or just rival agents?)]

nicholas d. wolfwood | trigun stampede

[hailmarys]

The Joker | Batman Arkham games

[inmateincharge]

[Almost certainly the one being interrogated, though don't expect him to give anything useful. He can also do the interrogating if needed, though.]

Matthew Clairmont [All Souls Trilogy]

[filsdysabeau]

captive

Barry Berkman | Barry (HBO) | OTA

[berkmanblock]

[Could be either though leaning towards captive because this man has committed so many crimes. Not interested in 5.]

Kaname Date | aitsf

[aicandy]

[ either role ]

Ereshkigal || Fate/Grand Order || OTA

[queenofkur]

[ The interrogated one. ]

Kylo Ren/Brianna Solo (r!63) • Star Wars • ota

[umbraeternam]

[ the interrogator. provided it's business and not pleasure, she'll be quick about it at least, and will offer a chance to talk before rifling through your character's mind for what she wants. unless running with a dark AU, in which case she's a sadist and can get creative before turning to mind-reading. ]

Abe no Seimei | OC (modern day onmyouji)

[emyoji]

[Either role. He likes mind games over force.]

Leon Kennedy | Resident Evil

[morebulletspls]

[ Either role. ]

[departmentk]

[If looks alone could kill, the G-man with the quick moves and the movie star haircut would already be a smoldering pile of ash. He's got but good, and the fact of it sticks in Kane's craw. He's better than this. He's taken down mutants of all shapes and sizes, telepaths and elementals, moleculars who could bend the laws of physics and ferals who fought harder than the nastiest B.O.W. All that experience and training under his belt, and he just got schooled and taken prisoner by one over-the-hill spook whose deadliest weapon looks to be Maybelline. Wade's going to die laughing if he ever finds out.]

Well? You going to get on with this, or you gonna just stand there and stare at me all day?

[It's his immobilized bionic arm the G-man's staring at, Kane thinks. Wouldn't surprise him. He did transform it earlier, used the oversized blade configuration like an idiot guessing it would scare Mr. G off and get the guy out of his hair.

Didn't quite work out that way.]

[morebulletspls]

Thought about it, actually.

[It's another long, relentless work day for Leon. He makes a mental note, again, that he's not going to get a vacation any time soon. Also the world seems like it wants to end every other day, but he really just wanted that little time off. Which might be prompting Leon to be a bit more dry than usual, but when you've had as many long days as he has, dealing with guys like this feels almost harder than fighting off B.O.W.s.

He's definitely not going to say that one, but he does give Kane an audible sigh and nod as he pulls over a chair and straddles it to look him over.]

So, let me guess: You were visiting your sick grandma and got lost. You know that town's locked down, so what the hell were you doing there?

[Nothing good. That's what he thinks, anyway. It hits a little too close to home, but Leon can't help but think this has to be one of the pharmaceutical company's spies or, more likely, a mercenary sent to fish out data and samples for the next big problem. He'd like to believe there was good will that led the man into a bio-engineered hellscape, but that would be too optimistic. He already looks halfway to being an experiment himself. Leon looks fixedly at the man's eyes, because if he doesn't, he's going to be too obvious.]

Wanna start easy? What's your name?

[departmentk]

Oh, good. I was starting to think I had something stuck between my teeth.

[Popping off with the sarcastic retort is probably the wrong move, but Kane's never been good at playing the silent game. He might just have to learn quick, though, because this guy's clearly not the average G-man and if the Yanks were smart enough to send someone like this in, they may know a whole lot more about the situation than he was led to believe. Then again, if they knew that much, they'd just send the army in.

Rolling his eyes at Leon's put-upon sigh, he leans forward and puts on his best insolent grin. His nose is still bleeding but not as heavily, half-dried blood smeared under his nostrils and around his mouth. That really was one hell of a kick. He's had his nose broken before and he remembers the feeling. No partner to pop it back into place this time, either.

He looks like shit, and he knows it. But he's had worse, probably.]

Close. My sister's anaphylactic, and I was on my way to drop off her EpiPen. You know how bad the bees get this time of year.

[There's no point in trying for a believable alibi, not when this man's seen what he can do. He's no B.O.W., but Kane is all too aware of how close he comes to one. No smooth story in the world is going to turn this into the G-man letting him off with a warning and a stern shake of the finger. At least he doesn't have to worry about the guy unearthing his identity through any records -- those are all sealed under the highest clearance levels. Unless this agent has access that high, he'll never find them. The thought ought to reassure him, but Kane feels the man's eyes boring into him like two laser beams, and he has to will himself to meet them without blinking.]

John E. Canuck. Worst name ever, right? I got stuck with it when my folks lost a bet.

[morebulletspls]

[Oh, good. So he was possibly a mercenary and a comedian. The day just keeps getting better. Maybe he should have hit the guy harder to bring him in. It probably wouldn't help get Leon any answers, but it would make the talk go faster.

Too bad he actually does need answers.]

Right, and you left your passport in your other bag. You made a mess. Lot of people that didn't need to get hurt.

[He's more upset about that then he wants to admit, but Leon can't stand having more of his teammates, his people, get hurt in these battles over secrets and power. He knows he only saw part of what this man is capable of, but even that just proves the point to him. That artificial arm acts a little too close to the G-virus, and he gives the thief a darker look as his eyes drift to it.]

Well, you're a long way from home, John. You pay customs for that?

[He nods his head to the bionic weapon. It's a weapon, and he is really sick of those too. Is he taking this job personally? Yeah. Any other mission in any other place would have been bad, but this particular call was enough to bring Leon home. And he's not happy about it.]

Who hired you? I can tell you right now, you've got nothing to find in Raccoon City. It doesn't have any secrets left for you or anyone else to take.

[departmentk]

[Seriously? A lecture? Bad enough this guy schooled him like a kid, now he's talking down to him like one. It grates. Since Kane can't cross his arms, he settles for blowing out an irritated huff of air instead, his bloody lips tightening into a scowl.]

Spare me the guilt trip. This hellhole's been under quarantine for fifteen years. They knew the risks.

[Okay, so maybe they weren't expects those risks to include him, but Kane still can't find it in him to dredge up much sympathy for the outpost's staff. He gave them plenty of chances to run, is he supposed to feel bad because some of them were too dumb to listen? Following the agent's gaze, he shrugs the shoulder his bionic arm is attached to and offers up a thin smile.]

Something like that. Why, you like it? Thinking of buying it at the next seized property auction?

[He's not sure exactly what this man's damage is with his arm. Under better circumstances, he wouldn't particularly care either, but from where he's currently sitting it really could turn into a problem. He'll have to head that off at the pass, Kane decides, because the alternative's one he can't afford.]

Really. Then why are you here? Long way to come for a place that's got nothing anybody would want.

[morebulletspls]

[Looking at the man now, barely able to be safely restrained and acting completely at ease with interrogation, Leon thinks he might have gotten pretty lucky when he caught him. Maybe it was his familiarity with the area and training against B.O.W.s, but the captive seems like something more than human now that he's facing him in a controlled setting. Go figure.]

Thinking of finding the seller along with whoever hired you.

[Another facility running experiments that only lead to death. He hasn't seen other mercenaries quite like this one, but where there is one, there's going to be others. Would that replace the experiments with the viruses? No, he doubts that. They would probably only make everything worse. Thinking about it only makes him more frustrated. He stands, pushing the chair aside to get closer to Kane, irritation building as he really takes him in.]

Do you know the risks? You don't know what hell you were sent to, do you? What did they tell you to find? If you dig around in there, all you'll do is end up a monster like everyone else. You're better off here.

[departmentk]

[Never let them see you sweat. That's the manta that was drilled into him, over and over, when he was put through interrogation resistance training by the men who led him into this life. He never thought much of it before, but right now Kane's holding onto it like a lifeline. He fights the urge to shift, to strain against the shackles keeping him bound, because like hell is he showing an ounce of discomfort in front of this prick.

He snorts dismissively at Leon's mild confidence and tries to ignore the pang of indignance at once again being treated like a dumb rookie. Sitting up as straight as he can, broad-shouldered and muscular, Kane tries his best to convey the image of a hard professional. He's seen a lot, and done a lot, but he's younger than he likes to admit, and try as he might to hide it, a hint of wariness flickers in his eyes when the agent stands and comes closer, pushing the chair aside so there's nothing between them.]

What, cooling my heels for the next twenty years? Thanks but no thanks. I know what's down there. BOWs and worse. But there's something else down there too. Something you don't know about.

Kurogiri | My Hero Academia | ota

[capillatus]

[I do enjoy him being interrogated, but am open to either role. He can certainly interrogate someone in his role as a member of the League of Villains.
