Forced to Kill

FORCED TO KILL
This meme could be triggery, so be warned


It's simple, you see. No matter if they're friend, foe, lover, or family, you must end their life.
1 : Post as your character; include name and canon of course!
2 : Respond to other people; you are now forced to kill that person
3 : Reasons for being forced can be anything, threat, duty, whatever.
4 : How you kill them, be it knife, poison, strangulation, is up to you.
5 : Profit..?

Inspired by a plurk meme floating around

Buson (Attila) | Pokemon | OTA

[buson]

((Your character could kill Buson or this could also got the other way, if you'd like, as Buson canonically threatened to kill a couple of kids who got in the way of a Team Rocket mission, said he'd warn them only once, told them to run away (because "too young"), they refused, proceeded to clash with said kids like three separate times before the gloves came off and he started actively trying to murder them like 2-3 times.

He failed because a Legendary Pokemon and Eusine got involved and then, they called the cops, so, uh, a tactical retreat was the smarter option, nobody wants to go to jail, okay. Needless to say, on other missions, they're more efficient and even successful minus meddling kids, judging by their rank and the one other (Rayquaza!) Legendary Pokemon mission we got to see.

BUT, yeah, all things considered, Buson's desensitized to violence, torture, and murder and has roughed up a little girl who (accidentally) became their hostage. He has a tiny bit more of a conscience and doesn't revel in murder quite like his partner, but he'd still do it, because it's his job. :D;;; ))

hey Buson you tried to kill some kids before!? Well-

[souldream]

[Do idiot heroic things and get idiot rewards! Not that Chris ever made a move to be rewarded per se. He does sigh when his plan backfired but on the positive note? The person he was helping out (a former Rocket Chris had gotten too attached to) got away safe, only leaving him dangling in mortal danger.

...speaking of dangling, Chris mused while crossing his arms and staring over to the one responsible. He should have figured the guy responsible was somehow related to Team Rocket. Just his luck he ran into him again.]

Yo, fellow Johtonian. Gonna lemme free, or nah for ruining your plans?

[There's a smile but he wasn't expecting any charity what-so-ever. No one has ever given him any before, and he wasn't about to start to hope for one here.]

[............. aw, come ON]

[buson]

[Seriously? The target's gone and he's stuck with... some kid? Hold on, it's Chris, isn't it? His heart sank, but his expression's a steely glare. He's only grateful he's already paid him back for saving him that one time, on the same day, in fact. The score's even. There's nothing to regret... well, no more than with anything else in his job.

He's getting really, really sick of all of these Hero Boy look-alikes. Not a speck of self-preservation in them and too dangerous to keep alive.]

... so, you were the one helpin' the rat make a getaway...

[Voice low, threatening, all the friendliness has been wrung out.]

How about you tell me where he went?

[He's not answering Chris' question, except with a question of his own. A little too honest to dangle a false hope of salvation in front of him too.]

look they gotta do silly protag things!!!

[souldream]

"Rat"? I dunno ta me he's more like a--ooh.

[Whatever Chris was about to say, he stopped. This man was throwing a threat alright. Didn't sound promising either about what's to come after.]

Y'really think I'm gonna talk about a guy I just risked my own hiney for? I ain't that cold blooded.

[CW asphyxiation / strangulation, etc.]

[buson]

[A small smirk, though it might've masked a wince. He can respect loyalty, at least, although it's kind of funny, seeing this much loyalty to a traitor.

He'll catch Chris by the throat, half to stop him from talking, half to threaten him. Keeping him at arm's length, because he's not looking to be kicked.]

Yeah, you were pretty good at that.

Keep it topical, brat. [Gradually applying pressure with his thumb.]

CW asphyxiation / strangulation, etc. --guess I'll use this icon???

[souldream]

[Oof, getting grabbed by his throat that's not fun (that's putting the situation into a lighter, light really). Chris coughed when feeling the pressure applied to his neck. He couldn't exactly fight back--his Pokemon were out of reach (his amazing luck), and he didn't exactly have the strength to pry Buson off or kick the guy.

Instead, following more coughs Chris stared Buson dead in the eyes and grinned wide.]

M-make me! [cough cough] Doubt you c-can!

[He absolutely was egging Buson on, why do you ask?]

CW asphyxiation / strangulation, etc.

[buson]

[... the kid's insane.

He stared for a second at the grin, considered throwing him into the ground for the insult, but if he threw him hard, he might just crack his skull and kill him.

So, instead, he loosens his grip, and smacks him across the face with his other hand.]

... why put up with all of this for that guy? Your loyalty's commendable, but...

He's a traitor, he doesn't value what we value. He'd betray you, like he betrayed us, so why?

CW asphyxiation / strangulation, etc.

[souldream]

[Oof, owwie that smack stung. It was more so out of reflex that Chris closed his eyes. He does however, turn back to stare right back at Buson because yeah he's helpless but he will very well keep making eye contact.]

I don't care.

[Despite the threats--he's got that grin still. Not that it quite reached Chris's eyes as he continued.]

I'm just a dumb kid. What do I know? Hell, I don't even know their name, ahaha! So y'know there's no point in continuing all of this. So why don't ya just cut this short already?

[buson]

[The light leaving his eyes is unsettling to him and Buson has to take a moment and decide what to do next.]

... you really don't know a thing? [He's asking it suspiciously, but he's already seen Chris take a blow meant for him so... he can believe he'd go through all this for someone he didn't really know.]

... why do you keep doing this?

You could'a lived a happier life travelling around as a trainer. You're free now, aren't you?

[souldream]

Like I told ya, I really didn't catch their name. I just saw they were troubled, and that's that.

[Whether he was being truthful or not, Chris was smart enough to not elaborate on that. At Buson's comment about living a happier life did give him pause.

If only--no. Now wasn't the time to dwell on that. Instead he closed his eyes as he thought of the scared look he had seen on that person's face. He's been there before. To feel absolutely helpless, and terrified--damn it now wasn't the time to be mulling over that.]

What's my life gotta do anything with yours?

[He's looking back up to Buson.]

I played idiot games, so I win idiot prizes.

[buson]

[He quietly watches him. Buson did suspect, somewhat, Chris might know a little more than he let on, but he wasn't going to follow this trail, because he didn't want to hurt him anymore than he already had. Besides that, his death will be utterly meaningless otherwise.]

You're right. This was a pretty idiotic thing to do.

There's nothing in common. We're perfect strangers, aren't we?

[He placed his hands in his pockets.]

... what were you thinkin' about, just now?

[souldream]

[Aannnd nothing's happening to him yet. Why? Chris wondered while eyeing Buson still (not even sorry buddy). Chris will take note of where Buson's hands have gone, but the question caught him off guard. The smile dropped for a moment.]

...hey, buddy? What's that gotta do with the situation we've got going on right now?

[You see Chris's lack of amusement here??? Okay, maybe Buson was trying to get information out from him that way or...was it something else entirely? Chris wasn't a mind reader, so he had no way of knowing.]

If you're expecting some scraps of answers that way sorry to say-- [there's a shrug from Chris.]

I'm allowed to have personal thoughts, don't I?

[CW asphyxiation / strangulation, etc., sort of]

[buson]

[He keeps looking at him. He hates it.

Buson doesn't answer the question, staring at him for a long moment, muscles tense, before he suddenly grabs Chris by the head and pulls him into a carotid restraint, applying pressure to both carotid arteries, hoping to cut off circulation to make him lose consciousness.]

[CW asphyxiation / strangulation, etc., sort of]

[souldream]

[Did Buson hate it? Aww- actually no, that's good for Chris as he kept purposefully maintain his eye contact with him. Chris too doesn't say anymore figuring anything else would be pointless at this point.

Chris wasn't willing to talk, let alone bargain for his life, and Buson wasn't about to let him go either he assumed. He didn't have to dwell on that assumption it seemed as he found himself being grabbed soon after.

Well, so much for maintaining eye contact. Ah well, Chris thought. It was just a small little sign of defiance despite his own situation. He's reaching up but despite that, Chris made no sign to put up a struggle.

He could feel his own consciousness beginning to slip. His hand doesn't even make contact with Buson as it dropped limply back to his side--along with the rest of Chris. Just like that, he was out.]

[CW asphyxiation / strangulation, etc., murder]

[buson]

There's a good boy.

[The worst was over, wasn't it?

When he fell limp, Buson eased off on his neck. He could apply pressure to his carotid with just two finger, free up his other hand to take out a sharp blade.

He'll slit his neck, cleanly, so he won't even feel it, before he has the chance to wake up. No more blood would reach his brain, so he won't have the chance to.]

okay what if instead of a new thread I just do this? Enjoy

[teamconcerto]

[Hey? Hey guess who? It's Chord. He of course approached from behind while clapping his gloved hands together.]

Ooh, what would your night walker friend say if she learns about this?

Skirting the meme concept juussttt a bit because its free real estate LET’S 👏 FAKE A 👏 DEATH

[ateamrocket]

“He’s a liability.”
“He’s no such thing! Look, if you’re going to question his loyalty, you might as well question mine too!”
“Perhaps I should, then.”
“Wh-what?”
“Get rid of him. That shouldn’t be a ...problem for you, should it, Executive Foreman?”
“…No, sir.”

That was more or less how the discussion with Giovanni had gone down.

Mayday wasn’t going to do it, of course. She was almost unquestioningly loyal to the Boss but she had her own horse in this race. That’s when she came up the plan; this could work to both their advantages. It was risky, sure, and her head would almost surely be on the chopping block if Giovanni ever caught wind of it, but...

She stares at herself in the mirror, gathering her resolve. Having been back home long enough to finally get her uniform upgraded, the person staring back at her still felt sort of unfamiliar. The executive attire suited her, really, but she missed her hat. She doesn’t know if she’ll really need it but she still takes her gun out of its drawer and holsters it at her side, breathing deep. Let’s get this over with.

Finding Buson was relatively easy because this is a meme and we’re not going to worry about the fact they’re technically from different worlds shhh it’s fine don’t question it. She approached him casually, like usual. One might argue it was too casual for someone of her status (and certainly too casual for someone supposedly about to carry out an execution), but that was just how she rolled.

“Hey mate, how’s it going?”

[buson]

Buson was on guard whenever he was out. Anywhere outside of Ultern, where he enjoyed much greater anonymity, he never really felt comfortable walking around in public, without a cover of darkness or a disguise, and even then, he had to stay very cautious and aware of the dangers surrounding him.

He felt Mayday's approach before he heard her, a hand slipping into his jacket to feel for a pokeball. Don't make scene, no need for guns, Pokemon are more discreet—

The voice he heard reassured him, although it surprised him, too. He turned quickly, not expecting to see Mayday here, but perhaps, he should have, having travelled this far west...

He grinned.

"Hey... look at you. Finally out of that ugly old uniform!"

He's smiling and his voice is casual, but his hand stayed where it was, in his jacket, and his smile doesn't reach his eyes, partly concealed by his sunglasses, which study her carefully. If she's in uniform, she's out on business and intended to be recognized as a Rocket. What sort of job is it?

[ateamrocket]

Mayday laughs. While she was fond of the anonymity that the grunt uniform gave her, her new outfit was undeniably more stylish.

“Heh. Thought you’d get a kick out of that. I clean up alright, huh? It’ll still take some getting used to, honestly.”

She gives a little twirl to show it off, arms out at her sides. After a full circle, she crosses them back over her chest and takes a step closer.

“I’m not just here to show off, though. I’ve got a work question and thought you might be a good reference given your particular skillset.”

She tilts her head to one side, then the other, as if weighing how to phrase it. Well, might as well be straightforward; there was no sense dancing around it. Clown to clown Criminal to criminal communication and all that.

“You ever had any experience faking a death?”

[buson]

The smile grew fonder, more genuine, as he took in the sight.
“You always did… a real beauty.”

When Mayday finally began explaining why she sought him out, he scanned the area briefly, before inching closer, finally removing his hand from his jacket.

“Just a couple’a basics, like hiding blood bags under your clothes, on top of armor or bulletproof vests, you can have someone strategically shoot… it works best if y’got someone in on it, working with you. How to cut off circulation so they find no pulse when they check the wrist, too… why, you in some kinda trouble, Mayday?”

[ The reason she'd be forced to kill someone is simple. Her vampiric mistress ordered her to do so. ]

[catsgothistongue]

[He's only been forced to kill once in his series, and that was after giving them so many choices to back off and quit attacking, it was literal do or die, and the fact that Saffron's a phoenix person negates that he killed.

An actual person? He'd do everything he can to not kill them, based on his honors as a martial artist and his own morals, unless it was absolutely necessary.

He will not feel good about it.]
