hurt/comfort meme

the hurt/comfort meme


It is in times of distress that hope is truly found. How you handle those periods of duress is a mark of character. Whether you're the one in pain, providing sanctuary, or even if that ache is mutual, hurt/comfort is all about empathy. Connecting with the people around you.


Instructions:

→ Post with your character (note name, canon [if relevant], and preferences in the subject line).
→ Others reply by either generating a number between 1-21 for a prompt, or go off script, I'm not the boss of you.
→ Go forth and connect.


Options:

o1. injury: somehow, you've been injured. the severity, whether a mortal wound or "just a scrape" is up to you.
o2. sickness: thinking of calling out of work today? chances are you've got a common bug...or worse.
o3. fear & anxiety: careful where you throw that "scared to death" nonsense...it might just be an omen.
o4. loss of senses: you're missing one of those fundamental six senses, whether it's your sight, hearing, touch, smell, taste, or the Force.
o5. despair: the idea of hope looks more and more like a pipe dream right now.
o6. breakup: and we are never ever ever ever getting back together. ever.
o7. makeup: but you called me up again tonight...
o8. rescued: it's time for one of you to get your damsel in distress on.
o9. bad romance: i knew you were trouble when you walked in.
1o. loss: one of you has just experienced a loss of some kind; can you cope?
11. insanity: for whatever reason, "reason" is lost to you. you're seeing and hearing things. sometimes dead people.
12. tired/insomnia: is it the caffeine or the fact that you never leave your damned senatorial office? whether it's just lack of sleep or lack of energy, this exhaustion is bone-deep.
13. addiction: something's got you hooked, and you might just need a helping hand to give it some distance.
14. nightmares: okay, now you're definitely seeing dead people. do you dare go back to sleep?
15. blackmail: you've been caught and the evidence is compromising. do you seek help or vengeance?
16. separation/homesickness: whatever it is, the nostalgia's got you missing something (or someone) awfully.
17. betrayal: your trust has been violated, but is it a real or imagined slight?
18. stranded: you're stuck. maybe someone crashed your only ship for the 50th damn time. are you sure this isn't reality tv?
19. sins & guilt: the weight of your past deeds is like holding a world on your shoulders. maybe it's time to seek some help, atlas.
2o. secret: loose lips sink spaceships.
21. wildcard: "take your script and shove it, meme."

And I... [He shakes his head, barely able to process what could have happened.] I would have destroyed everything for... for worse than nothing.

Yes. The galaxy already suffered through him once, it really does not need him coming back. He did enough damage the first time.

::To say the least. Right. It's probably getting to be about time to side-track Kyp before he potentially becomes a useless lump of guilt.::

You should probably make that call and find out how long we have to wait to get off this planet.

::He squints at the sky, trying to gauge how much daylight was left.::

If they're not going to be here before nightfall, I'd like to make it back to where I've been spending my nights to avoid dealing with the predators.

[Kyp can't really afford to let himself become useless. The whole reason he's still alive is because he owes the galaxy for what he did under Exar Kun's influence. But it's a near thing some days.]

Right. Calling General Solo. And it'll probably be several hours, at least, until anyone gets here. Maybe a few days.

[neverwantedtobesith]

We'll hope for a day or two at most. Given what you've told me, I don't think staying where I'm planning to head off to for much longer than that would be good for you.

::There would be temptation in the form of Sith relics everywhere.::

I've been staying where a Sith from my time set up a collection of things they wanted to keep safe. When we get there, don't touch anything. Some of it, I'm not sure what it does and its best not to find out, lest it turns out to be the hard way.

[avenger_leader]

A collection of Sith artifacts?

[Kyp's eyes narrow.]

Master Skywalker will want to know about that.

[neverwantedtobesith]

Mm-hmm. Some are benevolent enough. Artwork and the like. The things you should leave alone are towards the back of the chamber.

::In other words, stay out of there. He considers things for a moment.::

You may want to tell Solo to bring along some things he doesn't care about getting destroyed and are for the compactor or whatever anyway.

::A non-sequitur, he knows.::
