The STRAIGHT-UP DEATH meme

1. Pick a character.
2. Put their name and subject line in the header.
3. Tagging people: RNG or just pick one below. Needless to say, this meme may contain TRIGGERS for death, violence and suicide.
4. Posting people: the person who tagged you is now DYING.
5. Have fun.

OPTIONS: Illness: Self-explanatory. You're on your deathbed from a long and drawn-out illness. Time to call someone to your side for comfort, or for a confession... I Cannot Self Terminate: Maybe they're horribly injured, or maybe they've been mutated into a horrific monster. Either way, they can't tell anyone that they want to die--though no one doubts it. Will you be the one to take mercy on them? Execution: Once again, self-explanatory. You fought the law and the law won. This is probably the last time anyone will see you...or is the other character your executioner? Secretly Dying: Letting your friends and family know that you're terminally ill, or have been marked for death, or have a curse placed on you? No way. You'd rather keep them at ease. But all lies exist to be found out... And Make You Watch: This person has hurt you in every possible way, but you can't bring yourself to kill them...looks like there's no recourse but to kill yourself. But before you do it, there's just one way you can twist the knife a little... Bungled Suicide: You don't want to die, but can't think of any way to live. Fortunately, one of your friends has stumbled in at just the right time... Murder: Pretty self-explanatory. One of your characters is trying to kill the other. Fatal Accident: Drowned? Caught in a fire? Happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time? All accidents and unhappy, untimely ends go here. Duel to the Death: You, sir/madam, have been offended in every possible way, and it's time to settle this once and for all. Old Age: Well, you've had a good run, haven't you? Somehow you managed to avoid all the other pitfalls your friends have, but everybody has to pay the piper eventually... Ghost: You're already dead. But you had some unfinished business to attend to, so you're making just one last visit... Other: Make up something or combine two or three!

Ah, but there are such interesting uses for a mask, I just couldn't let it go to waste. [Yes, she's dropping innuendo again. Which is really not all that bad anymore, all things considered.

When she speaks next, her tone is a little more serious, though still every bit as kind.]

And it sounds like it was a good idea, in retrospect; I figure you might be needing it again.

[It was his security blanket, after all.]

[twotwoed]

[He removes his glasses and puts them on. There's that sly smirk of his again.]

For old times' sake?

[penumbrae]

[While it was nice to see that familiar smirk again - comforting, even - she just has to tug it right off his face, waggling a finger in false reprimand.]

Not just yet. I still prefer you without that mask, you know.

[twotwoed]

Oh, damn.

Whatever shall I do to earn it back?

[penumbrae]

We'll see about that later. But for now, I'll keep it somewhere you won't be having any access to any time soon.

[And just like that, she slips the mask inside her cleavage. Oops.]

[twotwoed]

[YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Don't make him do this, Karen.]

Show a little more sympathy for a dying man, won't you.

Besides, I could still try to prove you wrong.

[penumbrae]

[Hmm, do what? She has no idea what you're talking about~]

You can't be both, a dying man and bold enough to dare proving me wrong. Do make up your mind.

[In the meantime, she'll roll over to his side, true to her promise. She had no intention of leaving him, even before he asked.]

[twotwoed]

I can't be both? I see no reason I can't, Karen.

Or do I have to move from this spot? I've just gotten comfy.

[penumbrae]

Since when do I care about your comfort? [Said in all nonchalance as she tucks her arms under her head again, her smirk still very much visible. She may not want to risk overexerting him, but she was not about to stop him, either.]

[twotwoed]

[The death's not going to be that quick, Karen. :/

Although, he'll reach his hands out tentatively. He doesn't want to do anything she's uncomfortable with-his loss of mindreading has meant he's kind of taking shots in the dark, here-but.

This may be the last time, and all.]

[penumbrae]

[No, but it could accelerate it, in any case. And she was very serious when she said she wouldn't let him kill himself, or help death come any sooner.

As for being uncomfortable, no, she really isn't, which is why she isn't moving in the least; whether he does, in fact, retrieve the mask and earn the right to wear it or not, however, really only depends on his approach.]

[twotwoed]

[Good, good.

He slips a hand under her shirt and begins the painstaking search, although it soon becomes clear he's not all too serious about finding it.]

[penumbrae]

[... yes, yes she can tell. And she. Doesn't particularly care, although she will tease because that's what she does best.]

Ah, was I wrong in thinking you would need that thing at all? [She leans closer to whisper in his ear, and that may or may not give him better access to her, well, assets.] Because it doesn't feel like you're even trying.

[twotwoed]

Sssshhhh. I'm getting sidetracked here and you're positively ruining the moment with your logic.

[That other hand might be, uh...not anywhere near his goal. And by that, I mean sliding up your thigh.]
