THE CAPTIVITY MEME

You've been captured -- or maybe you've been held captive for a while now. Whatever the case, you've lost your freedom, and there's a specific person responsible for that. You might be a prisoner, a mental patient, a kidnap victim, or someone's pet. Maybe you're there willingly, or maybe the choice has been taken away from you completely.

 

Both smut and non-smut scenarios are possible. If you don't want to play smut, please indicate so in the title line of your tag.

 

1. Leave a tag with your character. Be sure to include any limits on what you are willing to play, as this meme has the potential to be triggering.

2. Someone else tags in and uses RNG to generate a number between 1 and 9. The second character is holding the first character captive now.

3. ???

4. Profit!

 

Scenarios

 

1. For their own good. Does this person really think they could make it on their own? It's a big, scary world out there, and you need to protect them from it, whether they like it or not.

 

2. For the good of society. Forget protecting this person -- it's your duty to protect the world from them! Maybe they committed a terrible crime, or maybe they were falsely condemned, but it's your job to keep them locked up where they can't do any more harm.

 

3. Because they're not well. How's your bedside manner? Whether you're Florence Nightingale or Mildred Ratched, you're in the position of ministering to the mentally ill. Maybe this person genuinely needs your help, or maybe you're just turning a blind eye to their true sanity.

 

4. For the money. Higher aims? What higher aims? This person is your meal ticket, and they're staying put until their loved ones pay up.

 

5. For their love. It might be a case of yandere, or it might be a consenting BDSM relationship. Whether it's by mutual agreement or by force, you're keeping them simply because you love them.

 

6. Because they're cute and fluffy. Who's a cutesy wutesy? They are! Yes, they are! This person is your pet now. Maybe they're a different species from you, or maybe you just don't care that you're both people. Maybe you're even an alien zookeeper looking after a new acquisition.

 

7. Because they're your property. Slave? Livestock? Who cares what they think - they're your property, and you decide their fate.

 

8. For the lulz. Hey, what's a little bondage between friends? You'll let them go, once you're done laughing and snapping photos... maybe.

 

9. Choose a scenario, or combine several.

[wow that

way too loud

help]

[meteorboy]

. . .

[staring at.]

Are you certain it's aliens and not ... orphans, perhaps?

[afishoutofwater]

[I'M SO EMBARRASSED ALREADY DON'T MAKE ME SAY IT AGAIN UGH]

They're aliens! I'm sure of it...!

[meteorboy]

What makes you so sure? If it's just advanced technology, it might be just a trick. That sort of thing is easy to do.

Saving the world with fishing...

[afishoutofwater]

T-Technology...?

[is there some sort of technology that allows you to control people with water?? if that's really some sort of trick...]

[meteorboy]

Technology can do many things that people would think of as "unbelievable" or from another world. Especially if they're not released to the public yet.

[afishoutofwater]

[He'd never thought of it that way before... He never thought to question it, so he didn't think to look into it himself, but!

Pulling out his phone, going to google, typing in "controlling people with water" and scanning the results]

[meteorboy]

I'm familiar with advanced technology like that. ...actually, I'm familiar with disguising oneself as a alien. So if you have something specific...

Though that does make me wonder how am I involved in this.

[afishoutofwater]

["Familiar"? Why would anyone be familiar with that!? And "disguising oneself as an alien"...!? Just who is this kid!?]

Th-that's... I don't own any fishing gear, and I don't have the money for it...

When I was worrying over that, I was approached by some guy and...

I-I wasn't going to do it! I should have continued refusing...

[meteorboy]

Some guy...

Do you know his name?

[afishoutofwater]

[shaking my head :(]

[meteorboy]

[silent for a moment]

I see. I'll be careful next time, thank you for telling me about this.

[afishoutofwater]

[god I'm sorry I just keep thinking how tough it must be for you and you're even buying me lunch and I'm still of no help even and I'm sorry but wow this is the most awkward lunch I've ever been to]

[meteorboy]

[smiling, and eating]

Do you like it, Sanada-san? Fishing.

[afishoutofwater]

[I was about to take a bite too but]

—Huh?

[meteorboy]

You said you're going to fish, so...

[afishoutofwater]

A-aah... I don't know.

I haven't really tried it yet...

[meteorboy]

How about it...? We can go buy the necessary things together.

[afishoutofwater]

Wh— What!?

[meteorboy]

I can ask sister if she'd be willing to lend me some money. It's important to you, isn't it? That way, you won't have to do anything like this again.

[afishoutofwater]

But...

[meteorboy]

Can I ask you a personal question?

[afishoutofwater]

[Ohhh no, here it goes. That's never a good question. It sets the stage for all sorts of embarrassing things, and just sitting there trying to guess what that question might be raises his tension levels again, closing off his throat and making it difficult to even reply. He wants to at least nod his head (even if he'd rather not be asked anything at all), but he feels almost paralyzed. Instead, he's staring again. Staring and waiting for the inevitable, and at this time, hoping it just passes quickly and without incident.]

[meteorboy]

[you are so awkward]

Ah— I just wanted to know if you're living on your own.

[afishoutofwater]

[YEAH WELL SO IS YOUR FACE no wait okay no it isn't 8(]

N-No... I'm living with my grandma.

And... the alien.
