ANGST MEME


Sometimes we all want to play some angst and see just how far our characters can and will fall.

- Post your characters, name and series in the subject along with any preferences.
- Go to random.org and roll.
- Play!


1. just depressed.
Things are tough, you're feeling worn out, or whatever the case, you're depressed. You need help or someone else thinks you do anyway.

2. abandoned.
You were left behind by everyone you hold dear and now you're forced to see how well they've adjusted, how happy they all are while you're screaming inside.

3. sick.
Cold, flu, or something even worse, all you can do is lay back and let someone take care of you.

4. fight.
You've been fighting nonstop with the other person and it just keep escalating.

5. break up.
You're being broken up with and they won't reconsider... Damn.

6. separated.
For some reason, you've been separated from the other person for a long time.

7. kidnapped.
You've been held captive for how long now? Maybe they've been torturing you even, using your blood to write ransom notes, threatening to cut off fingers to send next, etc. Rescue is on the way though, right?

8. beaten up.
Just because someone didn't like you or maybe they wanted something you had, whatever the case is, you're coming home sporting some nasty wounds and bruises.

9. jealousy.
You just have this undeniable jealousy suddenly and you need to let it out.

10. cheated on.
This goes beyond just suspicion and you have full on proof of what your lover has done. How do you handle it?

11. apathetic.
You're not sad, you're not happy, you just... don't feel much anymore. The sparkle of life has gone right out of you and you're just going through the motions now.

12. addicted.
Drugs, alcohol, whatever your drug of choice is, you can't fight the draw and you can't draw yourself out of the hole, but the other person is going to try.

13. bad romance.
You know this isn't good for either of you, but you can't stop now.

14. fear.
Nightmares, the feeling someone is following you, etc. You can't shake the feeling.

15. insanity.
You're seeing things and hearing them, waking up only to realize you've done things you don't remember or you're in a place you weren't before. You're losing it and you don't know what to do.

16. guilt.
It's eating you up inside and you have to tell someone about it now. You want to be punished and you won't take no for an answer.

17. loss
You've lost something dear to you.

18. wild card.
Combine some options or make your own!

[This isn't where he was before.

Losing time is always an experience he hates, disorientation, hours missing from his mind. No. Why is he here? Where is here?

He closes his eyes (almost afraid to open them again) and presses shaky fingers to them. Where was he last? He was at home. He'd been hearing animals again, this one was under the floorboards, scratching and scratching and squeaking and desperate and scared and hurts. The dogs heard nothing, and he knew it was fake, and he wasn't about to make the same mistake he did with his chimney and start tearing up his house looking for things that weren't there. He'd gone out, after taking his usual all too frequent dose of aspirin to stem the throb of a headache. Gone out to get some air, clear his mind. Think of something more important than what wasn't there. Think of something other than a raven feathered stag or the grey body of Hobbs or of killing, of killing like his hands are red and belong to every murderer he'd helped to catch.

And--and he woke up here. He scrambles to check his watch.]

It's--it's 8:52 PM. My name is Will Graham. I'm in...I don't know where I am. [Two out of three isn't bad, right?]

sorry this is late, I napped too long!

[godelsolution]

[A girl's voice from the corner of the room. They'd dragged this one in here, the machines (people, they were people, she knew they were people. Didn't she?) and dumped him with her. She hadn't touched him, seen if he was okay. That's what the machines (people, people, people) wanted her to do. They wanted her to see if he was John.

But she wouldn't.

Then he woke up and started talking, and 'wouldn't' went out the window.]

You're in Century. And it's 5:56. You're three off.

[herpestidae]

[Will starts to his feet without grace. One out of three is...not very good. His voice is nervous, though he's trying to hide it. Not very well.] Well, my battery hasn't run out, so that must mean I've changed time zones.

[That's a terrible thought. Driving for hours across state lines and not remembering it is frightening enough, but he must have flown across the country--unless it's days later. Unless she means AM and not PM. Is he losing whole days now?]

What--what is this place?

[godelsolution]

[Allison looks at him, unsure of what's happening, why he's here. She has scratches over her eye, and she looks fairly banged up.]

It's a lab, I think.

[herpestidae]

A lab? [He looks around them, then back at the girl. It looks like something traumatic may have happened to her once. Or several times. As someone who has a taste for the unstable, he can't help but wonder.] What makes you say it's a lab?

[godelsolution]

The building, I mean. If not the room. [She shakes her head. Well, really she just shakes in general.]

There are cages. Animals. People. I got out once, I saw it.
