[Meme] The hell did I do last night?

[st_rikingblueeyes]

So we have a few dozen people living in a hotel together, some of who have undoubtedly already gone to bed together deliberately, and some of whom have cockblocking ghost roommates.

WHATEVER. MEME. CRACK.

Post a comment for each character (current or future) you want to have ask the question as though they'd posted the meme somewhere. Then answer ICly on other people's comments. Using my characters as an example, if I posted Corbie, then Snow might reply, "How the fuck did you get in my bed?" Conversation encouraged, but hardly required.

Sexytiems can certainly be implied as the reason for why characters are waking up together, but this is not at all a requirement.

For any confused people, here's an example of what it can look like.

If you woke up and I was in bed with you, what would be your first thought?

I don't want you to be. I really don't. You deserve better, and so does the first woman for that matter.

But there are times it's hard to be your "friend," and I have no fucking clue what to do with that.

*shakes her head* I don't know what to say.

*sits up and gathers the blankets around her* If I'm honest ... and I shouldn't be ... I don't want to be just your friend. And that makes me feel like shit, because that's all I should want. I should be able to accept it.

You don't have to say anything. *quiet for a long moment, not quite looking at her*

Every time I think I'm used to this place finally, something new happens. A door opens to somewhere or a new person does something I never could've guessed, or... Someone from my own world comes through. And I keep waiting for that next person to be Keyleth. And it keeps... Not being Keyleth, so far. It's maddening. Like I'm caught between worlds now, stuck there, and I haven't got a way to go either forward or back again.

I know that's not fair, but that's what it is.

Re: Vax'ildan

It's been 8 months. And I'm still waiting for someone I know to walk in. Because that happens...the people who you thought were gone come back. The people who you thought would always be there aren't.

*leans forward to rest her head on her knees* I don't know if I want to tell you to keep hoping because I believe there's hope or because I'd feel awful doing anything else. But...maybe what I should be saying is...I don't want to be friends. And if we aren't something else, maybe I should just keep my distance.

*takes a deep breath, and reaches to rest a hand on her back, where he can, while he can*

If that's how you want to handle it, that's- I respect that, and I understand. You can have that, if it makes things easier.

I'm exceptionally good at disappearing and not talking about things.

Re: Vax'ildan

[st_upidgravity]

It doesn't. None of this is easier.

*shudders and tips her head to the side to look at him*

Can I be totally selfish for a second?

Re: Vax'ildan

[st_abby]

*pauses, a thin line of feline-fluid tension threaded along his spine, expecting her to slap him or tell him off at last. But his eyes are soft, and sad - you know, the usual - and he doesn't make to move at all as he barely even whispers*

...Sure.

Re: Vax'ildan

[st_upidgravity]

Maybe she shows up. Maybe she doesn't. Maybe tomorrow we get attacked by aliens.

*shifts around, from curled up to on her knees, facing him*

She's not here. And I am. ...pick me. At least for now.

Re: Vax'ildan

[st_abby]

...That is selfish. And it would be really selfish of me to do that, if I could. I don't even know for sure if I can.

Re: Vax'ildan

[st_upidgravity]

*licks her lips and sighs* I know. But I had to say it.

*slides out of the bed, looking around for something like a robe or something*

Which is why just staying away from you is the best option I have.

Re: Vax'ildan

[st_abby]

*there are so many things he'd like to say and do, to comfort her, and the impulse is strong. But that would be him being selfish at her*

I'm sorry this is so fucked up, Steph. I'm sorry it isn't easier than this, one way or the other.

Hey, it's okay. I'm a big girl. I'll live.
