Meeeeeeeeeme: Five Things to Five People

[thismaskiwear.livejournal.com]

Because some of us are stuck at work and hoping a meme will bribe the time monks to make the day go faster, I stole this one from see_beyond, whose post text I'm also stealing. NYEAH. I don't think we've done this one since last April.

Make a list of five things your character would like to say to five different people and don't include their names. The messages don't have to be secrets. Try to keep it to those on the island (or those off island like our esteemed alums and expatriates!), but if you need to pad your list, or it's really important, non-islanders (canonical characters that might not be IG) count too!

Example: Let's say Tracy was logged in as Umbridge:

1. Your mask really turned me on.
2. I saw such potential in you, young man.
3. You were the only one I was truly fearful of overpowering me.
4. Professional shin kicking should be your career.
5. I still want to swat you like the pest you are.

And then people could log in and try to guess who Umbridge was talking about (and the answers: 1) Deadpool, 2) Andrew, 3) Anakin, 4) Turtle, 5) Aly). Feel free to branch discussions off each statement if you'd like. You don't have to answer in straight "#1 is me!" You can just respond to the statement as in Deadpool would respond to the first statement of Umbridge's with: "And that's just what you can see of me."

Remember to check back throughout the day for new people posting new five things! And, as always, please play nice.

You can do more than five things, if you want. GO CRAZY WITH THAT.

1. There are so many things I wish I could ask, and so many I wish I could tell you, but I know I don't have to say out loud that I'm so happy that you're here.

2. My father's reaction to you being here is actually quite amusing.

3. I hope I will be able to be a home to you.

4. I'd like to show you my home world even if I don't think you're going to like it.

5. I would manipulate you in a less painful way than your current employers.

[vanillajello]

It's where you came from; I couldn't dislike it too hard. 'Though I suspect I wouldn't be a massive fan, either.

[endsthegame]

1. You're too close, and I'll have to go eventually. None of this is fair to you. I wish you'd recognize that before I have to leave.
2. Take good care of him. He'll need it.
3. It's okay to take a stand. I don't know you very well, but I can tell you've got a lot up your sleeve. You'll do well one day; you've got my confidence.
4. Your world fascinates me - but you need to learn how to keep your mind open for this one. I won't ever say that to you like that, though, because defensiveness is the easiest way to close a mind.
5. I miss building on the raft with you. I haven't met anyone I've been able to converse with as well since you left.

[glacial_queen]

I try, I really do! And I'm getting better...just everything is still so strange and foreign.

[longislandiceme]

1. I'm jealous of how easy it is for you.
2. Sometimes I get the feeling I should be vaguely terrified of you for some reason.
3. We never did go see that movie, you know.
4. I'm sorry I took so long to tell you about my freakishness. And I'm even a little sorry I can't tell you the full story.
5. I think if we pooled our, um, resources, we could really cause some trouble around here. The fun kind of trouble, I mean.

[puppy_fair]

1. Whatever happens, I won't blame you. I understand why you can't tell me.
2. Thank you so, so much for letting me turn to you. You're not Angeal, but I trust you just as much.
3. I totally know what those flowers meant.
4. Every time I go back to Midgar, I become a little more afraid to fight you when I get back.
5. I still worry that you're just hiding from yourself, you know.

[intraspective]

You do not. Forget about the flowers!

Forget them.

[thismaskiwear.livejournal.com]

1) I don't care where we end up or what we end up doing. No matter where I am, as long as you're there I'm home.
2) You're a pain in the ass, stubborn, annoying, obnoxious, and too chauvinistic to live . . . and the best friend I've got in the world who isn't Francine. Don't ever change, you big frikkin' idiot.
3) I'd never actually kill you, or even hurt you. I don't forget things, and I won't forget you saved my life. You're family to me too. It's just funny to watch you flail.
4) If I could set that place on fire in your real world, I would. Gladly. And hopefully they'd all be trapped inside when I did.
5) I still think you're crazy for wanting to do what you do, but maybe if the world had more people like you in it, I wouldn't hate it so much.

[glacial_queen]

I'm almost tempted to let you. But I care for you too much to let you anywhere near it.

[furnaceface]

1. The prospect of losin' you terrifies th'hell out of me.
2. I can pretend to be normal around you. That means th'world t'me, mate.
3. ... Bloody vikings. Honestly, now.
4. I'm thankful that yer here, you know. You aren't th'same, but a familiar face is comforting.
5. I know my body isn't strong enough t'contain my power. I want t'let you heal me regardless.

[living_endless]

I once told somebody else that it all had to end, that that was what made this all valuable.

That doesn't make the idea of leaving you hurt any less.

[wwiii]

1. Someday, we'll have coffee without being interrupted by things that want to eat us.
2. Thank you so, so much for showing me your wings, too. It's nice not being the only one up there.
3. I didn't know you before I got here, but you're practically my best friend, now. I hope that I can live up to yours, even a little bit.
4. Letting me fly around drunk would probably have been a really, really bad idea.
5. Thank you for listening. Now I just have to figure out where to start.

[longislandiceme]

Dude, this place gives me headaches with all the time/dimensional weirdness, but it also means I get you-squared, and that's just deuce.

[weetuskenraider]

1) You really are family to me, more than my version of you back home is. And it's not just because of your connection to him.
2) You big dumb gundark, when are you ever going to clue in to the fact that I know you focus on my problems so much to avoid dealing with your own? Don't you think I worry about yours too?
3) I know we didn't exactly meet under, um, the best circumstances. But something about you reminds me enough of what I've been through that I worry about you. Yes, already.
4) I know you only had the best of intentions, and I think they're admirable ones. I'm sorry I kept trying to push you away, but I think now you understand why.
5) If I was the sort of girl who was more casual about my affections, I could have so easily been charmed by you.

[vanillajello]

1. I'm glad nowadays you don't just take off without a word, but Christ, stop coming back looking like someone-- no, several, big someones have been kicking the crap out of you. It worries me.

2. I think the only reason I'm not in love with you is that I know you're leaving, and I just... can't do that to myself. (Of course, I know I'll probably feel like there's a piece of me missing once you leave, anyway.)

3. I'm happy you're not hiding a major part of yourself anymore. And I swear we'll make this coffee thing work out, even if just once. It can't be like were fucking cursed or anything.

4. Let's see. You're a dork, and kinda unstable, and you can get away with keeping me in the dark about some serious shit, and when I think you've screwed up I'll actually yell at you instead of just totally dropping you and moving on? ...No wonder I pretty much consider you family by now.

5. You know, the fact that you keep telling me you're not going anywhere only makes me more scared. It takes away one of the best excuses I have to protect myself from getting too involved.

[future_sandworm]

Self preservation is a good thing. And I do believe you'll manage fine without me. But you are welcome to visit. My family is even crazier than yours.

[bitchy_smurf]

1. I have realized that I will miss your snoring when I go; it is rhythmic and calming, and has almost become pleasant. This is unacceptable.
2. I would mate with you, were proper interest shown. I will, however, never make this offer.
3. Don't sign the customs slip.
4. I wish you felt something for me besides sorrow, revulsion and attraction for this body. I hate you for that.
4. BE SILENT. I CAN HEAR YOU. I AM SORRY. I hate you for that.

[bigbadgunn.livejournal.com]

That's a pretty large disregard to your timeline and your own self-preservation there, girl.

Pretty compassionate from someone like you.

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

1. I miss you.
2. By the time you realize it, I'm going to have graduated, huh?
3. I didn't think we were going to be friends, really, but I'm glad someone gets it.
4. I can never take you to Bon Temps. My goodness.
5. You intimidate me, but thank you.

[ancientbschamp.livejournal.com]

1) . . . I thought about you, you know. When I was with him.
2) I don't understand you. I don't think I ever will. Why do you keep insisting I'm like that?
3) You'll be a wonderful Queen someday, I know it. I'll always be proud to know you.
4) As much as I wish you had never been born, I don't think I'll ever be able to stop wondering if you really could have been like me if things had turned out differently. And I want to hate you for saying that, because it keeps a tiny spark of compassion for you alive.
5) I have this nagging feeling that someday, I'll have to admit that you were right.

[longislandiceme]

That's... flattering and also kind of intimidating.

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

1. You're an angry little man and you really need to get laid. That said, I'm still glad you're around. We're both miserable fucks so it's fun to be miserable together.
2. I hate that I'm going to miss you so much when you graduate. I'd even consider going to Montana just so I don't lose touch with you.
3. I care about you a lot more than I should and a lot more than I thought I'd care about someone again. I should stop but I don't want to. I don't fucking care if it ends up all fucked up and painful.
4. I'm comfortable enough to let you into my fucked up head to see things I don't tend to show anyone. I'm glad you'll be hear for another year.
5. I didn't think I'd ever be friends with someone from the olden times but now there's you and you're pretty cool. Wouldn't stop sleeping with a hot girl for just anyone.

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

You'd like Montana. We can hang out with some cows.

[iknowstuff.livejournal.com]

1. I could stop it from happening but you wouldn't have it any other way.
2. Stay the hell away from the baby. It'll be squicky and... Yeah. Just don't do it. Even if she does grow fast.
3. I can't help it if you don't pay attention.
4. Sure, I could tell before something happens but that's no fun. Besides I'm lousy at being a minion.
5. What will happen to you is by far the saddest thing I know.

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

What baby? That's Quil you're confusing me with!

[therewaslife]

1. I feel a little closer to home when I talk to you. I know you're not connected in any way but that feeling is there nonetheless.
2. Even I can see that you're a dork but you're a helpful dork.
3. Talking to you is always an interesting experience. Your singing voice is quite good too.
4. I'm not going anywhere. I don't care how difficult you are. I'm nervous about your reaction when you find out more about me but I'm already half attached to you so I'm willing to chance it.
5. Morgana is a brave woman if she's going to put up with your snoring. Just kidding, buddy.

[vanillajello]

I guess we'll cross that bridge when we get to it. Or something.

At least I probably won't freak out about Silas too much, considering what little I know about Jack's background, for example. ...And of course, that whole thing where I'm spending this weekend with my BFF the vampire.

[brat_inslayage]

1) My gut tells me I can trust you. My training says I can't. Which leaves me not knowing what to do, and I hate that.
2) You shouldn't have had to do it, but I froze. I failed you big time, and I'm sorry.
3) I already know I love you. What's sad is that I'm actually scared to say it.
4) You know I'm gonna keep pushing as long as I think I can get the truth out of you, right?
5) Yeah, so my world's already starting down the long scenic detour away from being black-and-white. Someday, when it's miles down that road and my brain doesn't break because of it, I'm gonna look back and realize I owe you big-time.

[trigons_child]

I hope that I can prove to you that I am worthy of your trust.

[scruffnfeathers]

1. I told you so.
2. I assure you, I'm not actually on drugs. I think perhaps the island is out to get me.
3. We will never, ever speak of that again.
4. You're smarter -- and better -- than you think you are.
5. I couldn't say why, but I suspect the Cat's pregnancy is actually your fault.

[shagthis.livejournal.com]

Totally taking advantage of that "using off-island folks" clause since it's not like he knows enough people here yet.

1. It's okay if you were checking me out, you know. I don't mind.
2. You've put up with my endless questions about this beyond-stunned place, so thanks.
3. Do you even have a setting that's not "absurdly chipper"?
4. I'm still mad as hell at you, you arse. And it's not just because of the money.
5. I wish you'd tell me what I did wrong, because I really thought we had something good going.
6. Just... shut up.

(yeah, I snuck an extra one in there. Had to make it even between FH/non-FH characters, because I'm a nerd)

[canadianpopstar.livejournal.com]

I like answering your questions! It makes me feel both important and like I'm back in Canada.

[lovemykilt]

1. I've decided that if you ever found joy in your life, the world would explode. So, uh. Keep up the good work.
2. I'm so totally honored, but I have the feeling I might accidentally make the stove explode if I tried one. Don't tell him I said that.
3. I know we don't talk much? But I kind of love you.
4. I have no idea how you do that every week, but: good job! High marks.
5. Can I take them with me when I leave? At least the busboy? You wouldn't miss him, right? They're fun.

[laceycantlie.livejournal.com]

Oh, I am so very tempted to let you.

[raspberryturk]

1. I ain't never gonna forget that talk we had at Caritas. I owe you for that.
2. You still scare the livin' friggin' piss outta me. Not many people do, man.
3. You kissed him. Godsdamnit.
4. Your optimism kinda makes me wanna pinch your cheeks forever. An' it helps to hear it. You remind me of one of my old Rookies, that way.
5. Your training's the reason I ain't dead yet, I think. Edge can kill you in so many ways, and most of 'em ain't the monsters.

[intraspective]

The fact that you know that is kinda creepy, zoto.

[icecoldfrost]

1. I have two biological sisters, and they're both horrible people. I'd much rather be your Sister instead.
2. We are not a disease or a corruption. Once I have my head screwed on straight enough, I'll figure out how to tell you that.
3. Thank you. As much as I won't admit it to anyone else, I might have been lost for quite awhile if you hadn't helped me. And it's so nice to have someone else around who gets it.
4. I still miss you, and I wish you hadn't left.
5. When you said in class that you liked my powers, and you weren't scared of me, that meant a lot. I've never had anyone actually say that to me before, not out loud. It might seem odd to people, but you're probably one of my best friends here, and if it comes down to it, I think I'd trust you without reservation.
6. I care about you a great deal, and I'm so very pleased that you're staying for at least part of the summer. I'm rather sure that I'm in over my head, but for now, I wouldn't have it any other way.

[glacial_queen]

You're more like family to me than almost anyone else in the world--and that includes Morton sometimes.

I'll love you forever, Sister.

Let's go get into trouble.

[svetocha-blooms.livejournal.com]

1) You remind me so much of him it hurts.
2) Thank you for trusting me with the truth.
3) If she's dumb enough to fall for a sucker, she's not worth your time.
4) Thank you for being there. I don't know if I would have survived otherwise.
5) I'm sorry I'm not the most social roommate.

[need-no-moon.livejournal.com]

Yeah, yeah. Now if I can just know that when I'm back there too.

[shiroi_tiger]

1. I still value time spent with you far more than I fear death.
2. Now who will traumatize me on laundry day?
3. If it wasn't for your help when I first got here, I doubt I'd have made it this long. You're one of the closest friends I have. I don't say that lightly.
4. I have to admit, I'm worried about the situation that you'll return to when you graduate. I wish I knew what to do about it.
5. Who the hell is Tom Cruise?

[funnyways.livejournal.com]

And I still think you foolish for it.

Though I am utterly grateful.

[notmyownage]

1. So I'm thinking a really tall, super-heated lab assistant could come in handy, some time. You're not averse to a little bit of pain, right? It's for science.
2. Say one of your students were to ask you for something that might sound kind of on the dumb side, but was totally in pursuit of her personal journey narrative? What would you say?
3. Your stories from home worry me, sometimes.
4. Girls are not nearly as weird or scary as clowns.
5. I need to talk to you more often. Also, you. And you. And you. And. . . .

[steel-not-glass.livejournal.com]

Remember, support is a very important part of both journeys. If I can help any of my students with theirs, I'd be honored.

And you might be surprised at what I consider normal.

[guardian-god.livejournal.com]

1. You're likely the only other person on the island I'd trust to fulfill my duty. It's a big deal, regardless of how it may seem to anyone else.
2. As glad as I am to have you back, there are days I miss the literal bunny.
3. You come first.
4. Is there no way to make you quit?
5. Temporary as things may be, I regret nothing when it comes to you.

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

There's nothing to regret.
