open rp meme - v1.0
Alright, so here's how this works. It's really very simple. First, pick a character of mine you want to play with (or if you want, I can pick instead). Put that in a comment, leave it here and bam! RP happens.
Feel free to make up your own scenario or pick one from the list. Or pick via RNG instead. Anything goes! Remember, we're here to have funand emotionally torture ourselves, so go wild!
TYPE OF SCENE
1. Angst - Angst indicates heavy/depressing topics. Characters suffer emotionally or physically from relationships breaking up, death, injury, etc. Hurt and comfort themes are included.

3. Action - gun fights, bar brawls, fights to the death are all possible scenarios.
4. Crack - genderswaps, super powers, sudden compulsions are all possible outcomes!
5. General - General fun, things that didn't fit in the other categories.

[ Sumia nods quietly in agreement; she can't really deny that she was a little scared at wondering what sort of things he liked to do... ]
... but I also think that... nothing can be scarier after what you did to save me, too... so I think I'm ready to hear at least one or two of your favorite hexes, if that's okay...
[ Yep, she notices that smile tightening a little, Henry; don't think she lets that slip by. ]
Anything if it'll help you feel better about what happened...
no subject
Ah... ha ha...
[It's a more awkward laugh than his usual one and it's really obvious.]
Hey, hey, aren't you getting this all mixed up? You're the one who's injured here! I should be making you feel better, not the other way around!
no subject
[ Sumia... ]
I appreciate you're here, Henry, I really do. But... I also want to help you feel better, too... because you're very special to me...
You're hurting just as much, right...? Even if I can't do much, I still want to do what I can...
no subject
Ah...
[Man, this isn't going the way he planned at all. He's supposed to be cheering her up, but now she's all worried about him...]
Well, that's really nice of you, but I'm fine, really!
[Liar.]
Really, I'm not hurting at all. 'Kay?
[Liar.]
You should worry more about yourself or else you'll heal all wrong and you'll be using your spear all funny when you're back on the battlefield!
no subject
[ Sumia looks at him seriously as she clutches the sheets of the bed she's lying in; her tone remains as quiet and docile as usual from her, but there's a noticeable tinge of steel in her voice as she goes on. ]
I... remember one thing before blacking out. You... you were laughing as usual, enjoying yourself being out in the battlefield, but...
Even all that laughter couldn't hide the tears streaming down your face, you know.
[ Despite how sore she feels, and how jacked up her arm and shoulder is feeling, it's with great effort that she manages to sit up and embrace Henry, her voice on the verge of breaking. ]
Please! I just... want to help... or do you not trust me enough to tell me how you really feel, Henry?
no subject
[Damn it, Sumia, why must you be so observant?
And so good at hugging too. It's making it pretty hard to keep this up.]
I'm really good at dealing with pain, y'know. All kinds, I mean! So you really shouldn't worry about little old me. I'll be just fine, I swear.
[Gently, he pats her head. He's not too used to affectionate gestures like these, though, so it comes off as slightly awkward. But that much is normal for Henry.]
It's nothing to do with trust or anything like that at all, promise! I just don't want you to spend energy on me right now.
I'll feel tons better when you feel better.
no subject
Even if you say that, you know I'll still worry regardless...
[ Really, that's just the kind of person Sumia is, clumsiness and self-depreciation notwithstanding. She does smile quietly, though, as she continues to hug Henry. ]
I know... and I appreciate it, Henry. But I'd feel just as better if you were well, too...
[ She laughs quietly. ]
I guess neither of us'll be budging from this spot anytime soon, will we?
[ Not that she wants him to leave, by any means. If he wanted to stay here with her, all the better. ]
no subject
[Said completely carefree, because it's not like he minds. Hell, he'd stay there for weeks if he had to.]
Don't worry, though, it's not like anyone else is gonna come in here. I told them to steer clear or I'd hex their face off!
[...H-Henry...]
I mean, I was bluffing, of course. I'd only hex them a little bit.
[That's not much better.]
Anyway, point is, I'm gonna be right here with you the whole time.
no subject
[ There's some awkward laughter here from Sumia - really, was it necessary to threaten them with hexes?
Still, she can't seem to find it in herself to get angry at him or even be exasperated for his behavior because really, that's kind of what she does... either way, all she can do is just shake her head and sigh quietly. ]
Of course... I wouldn't want that any other way.
Just promise me that if you do end up hexing someone, not to traumatize them too badly...?
[ Since trying to convince Henry to stop hexing people and things would be a lost cause at this point... ]
no subject
[He grins, though. He'll do basically whatever Sumia tells him to, within reason. Er. Henry's version of reason, anyway.]
I wouldn't traumatize my allies, you know! Just scare 'em a little, nothing more. But I shouldn't have to, since I think I convinced them. So that's good, right?
[He stops and considers this for a moment.]
Y'know, I wouldn't have even thought twice about hexing my allies back in Plegia. Haha, weird, huh?
[He means that it's weird he wouldn't now, of course. Since clearly hexing your allies is totally normal.]
no subject
[ Yes, good, at least she can relax somewhat now and actually focus on recovering, because she's not quite 100% yet.
Still, she can't help but smile and nod quietly as she glances at him with a tilt of her head. ]
Well... I don't think it's weird. I think it just means that... you see something in us that you like. That, perhaps, makes you hesitate with hexing us?
[ At least, we hope that's the case. ]
no subject
[Pausing to reflect on that. For a moment, he actually looks a little distant, but then his normal grin is back.]
Ahahaha... I guess I never really expected an entire camp to be my exception! I dunno, I guess I just like you guys too much.
...Well, some more than others, of course!
no subject
[ Sumia's very curious about this, Henry; you can't just say that and not explain!
That said... she can't help but feel sad for him when she sees that faraway look on his face. Before she realizes it she's reaching over to pull him into another hug. ]
Of course, of course... and I love you too, Henry.
Please... promise me you'll never forget that, okay?
no subject
Ha ha, he was really strong willed though, so I'm not sure if any curses I cast would've even stuck!
[You know, that one general that you guys kind of killed? Yeah. That guy.]
I don't think I could ever forget that! Even if someone struck my head really hard and I forgot everything, I'm sure I'd remember!
I mean, maybe not for long, since I'm pretty sure a blow like that'd kill me. But then I'd be in the afterlife and still remember anyway for all eternity how much I love you!
[How... sweet?]
no subject
[ She remembers him from their battle in the rain, after Chrom had just watched Emmeryn throw herself off the cliff. It was... it brought back all sort of emotions in her.
And from what she remembered, he was just as strong as Henry had said. And she even remember that he'd been forced to reconsider his own position in the army, though that was perhaps lost on Chrom in his anguished rage.
... all Sumia can do was sigh in resignation, a sad smile on her face as she nods. ]
I remember him. He truly was... as strong as you say. I regret that our paths had to cross when they did.
[ A quiet pause. ]
Hmmmm... if that were to ever happen I'd fly you back from death's door on the wings of my pegasus myself! I certainly wouldn't let you die that easily, understand?
[ Wow, she's unexpectedly serious about that one. Almost speaking in a tone that asks "Why do you not already know this, Henry?". Yep. ]
no subject
[...He just casually puts that out there, like it's no big deal at all.]
Mustafa wouldn't let me join, though, no matter what. I was basically begging him to, since I didn't really get to be in any battles before, but he just wouldn't give in. I thought it was really weird at the time and I got really upset over it! I was so jealous everyone else got to go out and fight and I got stuck at camp again.
...I guess it's good he didn't let me, because I don't think I would've been here now otherwise. I mean, I could've taken out some people, maybe. I think I could take Chrom if it really came down to it! But definitely not everyone else too.
[Some people might feel a little weird talking about how they got this close to dying because of the people who later became their allies, but not Henry. He seems very calm about it, like he's reminiscing about some pleasant memories, instead of what was actually a really horrible day for everyone involved.]
...Nya ha ha, I guess I shouldn't expect any less from you! If anyone could do that, it'd be you!
That's fine, though, since I'd do the same for you. Of course, I don't have a pegasus, so I wouldn't look nearly as cool as you, I'm sure! Hm, maybe I could get Cherche to lend me Minerva if that ever happened?
...Not like I'd ever let you get even close to dying anyway!
[Yeah. The reason why they were here proved that well enough already, huh?]
no subject
[ SHE NEVER KNEW ABOUT THIS UNTIL NOW.
... though she does kind of understand how Mustafa probably felt, pushing Henry onto the sidelines like that. He really did care about his men, didn't he...? ]
... does it bother you? That... if he hadn't have done that, that perhaps we wouldn't have met?
[ It may not bother him, but it does bother her, especially considering that they were together at this point. Really... sometimes she had to wonder what he was thinking at times like this. Was it really something pleasant for him, or was his mind hiding itself in insanity? Leaving reality behind since it was painful?
. . . she's think about that later, though. Henry's words about him rescuing her brought her back to her senses, and as if to emphasize that her shoulder started to ache. Wincing a bit, she still couldn't help but laugh. ]
That would certainly be a sight to see...
Though I have to wonder, couldn't you use your hexes and dark magic to... maybe make a magic wyvern or something for you to use? It would certainly be just as cool, right?
[ Sumia...
... she does appreciate the sentiment, though. ]
... thank you, Henry...
no subject
I mean, I'm really glad I did meet you, obviously! But if we hadn't met, it's not like I would've known what I was missing out on, right?
I do kinda wonder what he'd say if he'd known that him dying would've led to me defecting, but there's no way of knowing that either!
And anyway, I try not to let that stuff bother me. It all worked out, so no point thinking about it!
[When she mentions a magic wyvern his expression brightens a lot.]
Whoa... I never thought about doing anything like that! That's a great idea! Ah, I did make an illusionary Manakete for Nowi once, but maybe I can do the same with a wyvern and just make it stay solid somehow... Nya ha ha, I'll have to see if I can do that!
[Well... Of all ideas you could've given him, Sumia, this one's not so bad.]
...Hm? Nya ha, you don't have to thank me or anything, it's no biggie!
no subject
[ Oh, Henry. You can be creepy and weird one moment and really insightful the next.
Either way, that gets Sumia's attention and she beams, nodding in emphasis as she looks at him expectantly. ]
If you're able to, can I see? I'd really want to see that happen, now...
[ Such dorks. Such adorable dorks. ]
no subject
And if I started worrying about all the times I almost died now, I'd never stop! I mean, I can't even count how many times that's happened in my life, nya ha!
[That's not even a slight exaggeration, but do you really expect it to be?]
Sure thing! You'll be the first person I show, promise!
...Ooh, ooh, maybe if I get it working I can magic up a wyvern army for us! Imagine Minerva but instead like... a hundred of her! We'd be unstoppable!
[It's a good thing he's on Ylisse's side now, because that's starting to sound like supervillain talk.]
no subject
[ Sumia sighs quietly; she really should have expected him to say something like that. ]
Well, don't die when I'm here, okay? I absolutely forbid it!
[ These two... once Henry gets back on the subject of the magic wyvern army, Sumia finds herself immediately raising an objection to the idea... ]
Ah, wait! You can't!
[ Oh, good, Sumia has some sense to notice that Henry's plan is sounding a little too evil there-- ]
What about pegasi? If you make all of them wyverns they might expect it, but if you mix in pegasi it would make the army more unpredictable, right?
[ . . . SUMIA. ]
