♥ ♣ ♠ ♦ WHEEL OF MISFORTUNE ♦ ♠ ♣ ♥
Welcome to the Wheel of Misfortune! Here, you and a friend will be experience a lifetime of happiness and joy as you spin the wheel to determine your fate! Well, it'll be happiness and joy for one of you probably. Maybe not so much the other.
Instructions
♦ Leave a comment with the character you're playing!
♦ You can be the one doing the damage or the one receiving the damage. Specify if you have a preference! (Alternatively, you're in a situation where you take turns doing damage to each other! HOORAY.)
♦ Whoever is doing the damage will spin the wheel! Use RNG or whatever you'd like to do so. Whatever number it lands on is what action you'll perform on the person!
♦ There's another wheel for bodyparts, but feel free to ignore it and choose your own body part of choice if you'd like.
♦ Once that action is done, feel free to continue spinning! Also, feel free to be super creative about your spins! Make a game out of it! For example, maybe they need to play I Spy and for each guess they get incorrect, they have to spin the wheel. Or like with 20 questions! Each question that receives a no answer = one spin. OR MAYBE YOU JUST WANT TO KEEP SPINNING BECAUSE YOU FEEL LIKE IT.
♦ How much struggling/fighting back that can happen is up to you and the person you're playing with. If you want to, you can just say they're strapped down really good and powers are nerfed or not.
♦ If you wanna play a nice person doing the terrible things, you could assume that maybe if they don't do it, THEIR MOST IMPORTANT PERSON EVER WILL DIE. Or whatever cause necessary to make them move forward.
♦ Please have fun being terrible people.
♦ However if there is a particular squick you really cannot play, you have the right to say no! There is nothing wrong with that! Feel free to list it out if you want to avoid a particular thing. There are several methods of terribad things available, after all!
SPIN THE WHEEL
1. Pins and Needles. Poking people isn't very fun. Shots, needles, you have to use a thin, pointy object for whatever reason.
2. Snap, crackle, pop. The sound of something breaking, snapping. Think bones, maybe.
3. Slicing and Dicing. Knives, tho. Vivisection, tho.
4. Drip, drip, drop. Who doesn't enjoy slow blood loss? Or maybe water torture.
5. Makes no sense. You're going to lose one of your senses! Whether it involves sewing your mouth shut or numbing your entire body so you can't sense touch or popping an eardrum, it's probably gonna suck.
6. Burn, baby, burn. USE FIRE.
7. Ice, Ice, baby. USE ICE.
8. Can't handle the Pressure. You know, sometimes it is fun just crushing a hand or two.
9. Living the Dream. Maybe you're knocked out? Or maybe someone decided strange liquids would be a-ok to inject. Either way, you're gonna experience hallucinations or nightmares of some sort.
10. Sweetest Poison. Nothing better than nausea and sickness slowly building inside of you. Could be a disease or an actual poison or maybe a unique poison that you came up with. Symptoms are up to you though!
11. You don't need that. Sometimes you gotta remove the unnecessary bits. Like your fingers.
12. Swear to tell the truth. Truth serum makes you speak honestly. Great for the manipulating scientist who want to mess with you psychologically, too.
13. Hole made just for you. Holes are creepy okay. More intense than just needle pricks! Maybe drills or a sickness that forces holes to form, either way. HOLES. Ew.
14. Be more creative than me. Perhaps you have your own cool and unique ability to torture with. I'm looking to expand my horizons so teach me your ways, okay okay.

[She knew he would say that. She's glad he did, in a way; she's glad she was reminded of exactly what she had to do. That solid affirmation that it was okay for her to do what she needed to do for everyone else -- or more accurately, that solid affirmation that she absolutely couldn't throw everyone away for his sake. The thought didn't touch down in her mind for even a second, but it'd already successfully taken root at the very bottom of her heart, in those darkest most humid places. Like a mushroom. She could think of this intrusive thought as a fungus that needed to be uprooted.
She had to be rid of it. It was never an option. He doesn't want it. She doesn't want it. All of these people are her family now. It isn't just Seto. They have to go ride the roller coaster together again. They have to eat dinner together again. There are just too many things left undone and unsaid to just give up on all of them. Kozakura Mary will never become that monstrous. All of them have to come home safely.
But what if one of them doesn't?]
S-Sorry... I'm -- sorry, Seto...
[She's trembling still when she rights herself to look at his face. Eyes unfocused and blurry with tears, she couldn't see the face the green-brown blur beneath her made.
She doesn't want to hurt him. Her vision's improved by the time she tears her eyes away from his face to look at the wheel (a nasty, tearful glare if there's ever been one), but she can't bring herself to move any closer to it. She doesn't want to touch it.]
no subject
[Seto decides to turn his gaze towards Mary, hoping that maybe she can refocus her attention on him and not the terror that she's obviously dealing with right now. He didn't expect her to suddenly become a steadfast warrior, but at the very least, it could maybe calm her down a little bit.
His eyes are as gentle as ever, matching the small smile that he had on his face, but honestly, that's about the most he can muster. If Mary had been a doctor or just a tiny bit more observant, she might have noticed . . . Racing heartbeat, sweaty palms, faster breathing . . . yes, Seto's definitely feeling the fear sinking in especially as he notices her gaze moves towards the wheel. That wheel was going to pretty much determine his fate for now, and no matter what, the options stink.
And it's going to hurt.
And Mary's going to cry some more.
And there's no guarantee that they'll find the rest of the Dan, alive at least.
But that's exactly why, for now, it is just better to keep his smile up.]
If we get through this quickly, lets do something nice with everyone.
no subject
[It's not that she doesn't notice, really. She's intuitive. She can see the dilation of his eyes and the rising of his chest, but most importantly she just plain possesses the empathy to realize what's happening. Of course he's scared. Seto is brave, but he isn't infallible -- he's afraid for himself and afraid for her and afraid for the others. That was the cost of being so kind.
But even still, his voice and his face when her eyes have focused enough to make it out are calming as always. She could hold him to that sort of promise, hold it up in her mind as a ward. Because Seto promised, everything will be all right and they're all going to escape safely and they're going to do fun things. And they'll be happy again. Nothing like this will ever happen again.
If they get through this quickly. She doesn't want to hurt him. Even if she knows that he won't be angry, even forcing herself to believe that the end result will be positive, she has her reservations. What if she hurt him too badly? What would he say then? Would he think of her as -
No. Stop that. Seto would never. Seto isn't that sort of person. How dare she even think so lowly of him to worry about being called a monster? It was another intrusive thought, another mushroom rooted at the floor of her heart.
But she wasn't going to have any of it if everyone was counting on her. Everything will be all right. Everything must be all right. But her gaze returns to the wheel again and the smile on her face is probably one of the weakest he's ever seen.]
It's... It's okay.
[A pause while she steels herself. She repeats that sentence in her mind like a mantra, along with the promise.]
I-It's okay -- ! ... Even if something... happens, I... I won't let anything bad happen to you, Seto...!
[But her mouth fills with cement as soon as she finishes saying those words, and her hand on the wheel is heavy like lead. It takes another time like hundreds of years to her before she can spin.
Nine. She didn't understand the order quite so well if her sigh of relief means anything -- injecting something to make him hallucinate... that was definitely awful, but it was survivable and it would wear off and it wasn't painful. It's the least of many, many evils, even if she still doesn't want to do this --
But she takes the needle. She has to hurry and fulfil their promise. She has to hurry so everyone can be okay. It's only a shot. It'll be like he's having a dream, right? That was what a hallucination was. It's nothing but a daydream. It's administered in his wrist in a way mimicking the shows she's watched with everyone and books she's read. Sure hope she actually got the vein.]
no subject
Mary did a pretty good job for her first try! It was just like going to the doctors, right? You know though . . . I wonder if it worked. I feel alright. Maybe we got lucky!
[In reality, after a few seconds in, Seto noticed something out of the corner of his eye. He couldn't see it quite clearly, but it wasn't there before so he could only assume that it was part of the hallucinations. Still, whatever it was, he couldn't see it.
However, he could hear it. He could hear it hisssssss very clearly.]
no subject
When she thinks that this time, it's with a slightly more hardened confidence, and it shows in her expression. Her smile has more of the life he's used to.]
I... I think so...! That's good. We'll be able to go home really soon...!
[When she spins this time, it winds up on a four. She doesn't really understand how the words "water" and "torture" go together. Honestly. It's just water. What does water hurt anyone?
So what does she do now, just... take the bucket and...?? Well. Well, she thinks, it doesn't seem difficult or dangerous or harmful, so she's very enthusiastic about taking the bucket of water and pouring it all over him, as best as her strength allows.]
no subject
But even beyond that, it meant a whole different thing for Seto. Just the pure sensation of water suddenly being dumped on his face was enough to make him gasp, but it's not such a good idea to open your mouth when water is being poured on your face. Quickly, he started choking and coughing back up water that happened to go down the wrong pipe, feeling pain on his chest as the restraining belts kept his chest from expanding (you know, when you're coughing and all that).
And did we mention the hallucinations? Man, is the room filling up with water . . . ?]
