3. FEAR/ANXIETY. Something is happening and you're scared beyond belief.
4. LOSS OF SENSES. Sight, touch, taste, hearing, smell, etc. You've lost some important sense or ability and now you're left to deal with it.
5. DESPAIR. Nothing is good or right anymore and you can't shake the depression. Maybe that friend of yours can help though...
6. BREAKUP. You've been dumped. You need someone to comfort you, possibly by the one who dumped you.
7. MAKE UP. Fight or break up, it's time to makeup.
8. RESCUED. You've just been held captive and/or tortured for however long and finally, someone has come to the rescue.
9. BAD ROMANCE. Fight, cheated on, abused, whatever the case is, someone else can clearly see you need comfort from someone who isn't your terrible lover tonight.
10. LOSS. You've experience a loss of some kind and need help getting through it.
11. INSANITY. You're seeing things that aren't really there, hearing voices, or you're just convinced you're at your wit's end finally and you're going to crack. Maybe someone can give you a helping hand.
12. TIRED. You've had a heard life recently and you're just worn too thin to really care anymore. There's no fight left in you anymore. Can someone help change your mind?
13. ADDICTION. Drugs, alcohol, sex, gambling, or any other type of addiction has got you in its grasp. First time or relapse. Will someone be able to save you?
14. INSOMNIA. You can't sleep anymore, no matter how hard you try. Maybe someone can give you company.
15. NIGHTMARES. Or, on the other end of the spectrum, you can't sleep without gruesome, horrible nightmares. Either someone is stuck in your dream with you, witnessing it or they're just waking you up, soothing you out of it.
16. BLACKMAIL. You've been caught doing something you shouldn't and you were blackmailed because of it
17. SEPARATION. You're going to be separated for awhile or were separated for a long time. Either make up for lost time or try to spend every last moment together.
18. VIOLATED. You've been violated in some way. Can include sexual overtones or not. Can someone help you through it?
19. STRANDED. You've been stranded somewhere remote, with no help of anyone finding you for awhile. Can you survive this together?
20. SINS You're feeling the weight of your sins and guilt clearer than ever. Can someone give you absolution or lessen the ache any?
21. SECRET. It's difficult having to keep that secret of yours, be it a relationship or something you just don't want to share with anybody else. Maybe it's okay to talk about it now though...

[soundmind]

[It happened so suddenly, where the dream world was heralded by strange feathers falling from the sky last time, this was only darkness swallowing up the sleeping. It didn't feel like the force that was responsible last time, that much Maka was able to tell.

She is also able to tell that the dream she's in isn't her own...though, actually, it might be more accurate to say "nightmare." It's poorly lit and there's a smell like death, but ahead she sees two figures--one advancing towards the other. It takes a moment, but Maka recognizes the yellow coat and realizes, to her horror, it's Kaneki being beared down upon.

Maka doesn't think, she acts, she runs forward and skids between the two of them, raising up her fists and striking out with a left hook.

Once she does, the sign that she made a terrible mistake hits her.

The offender falls back, growls out a curse, then...something, some appendage emerges from him and lashes out to her.

Dodging would only have it hit Kaneki. Maka holds her ground and grabs onto the thing--]

Ah.

[It slices into her palms and stabs into her stomach, straight on through.

Hands bleeding and shaking, Maka raises them up to her mouth to keep the blood from spilling out there. It doesn't help, she chokes and coughs out the bitter liquid even as the appendage retracts and raises up again for a second strike--probably more fatal.

It's just a nightmare. Stay strong. Don't stand down. You won't die here.

Her thoughts repeat over and over, Maka squares her shoulders and stares up defiantly at the enemy.]

Get...get out of here, Ken, run.

[It's been a few days since his last visit (since practice has gotten especially intense lately and it's getting closer to the time when he'll have to actually choose his relay swimmers) and Rin is surprised to learn from Makoto that Nagisa has seemed oddly subdued lately. It's confusing since the last time he saw Nagisa, he was in fairly bright spirits, despite his condition.

By now, he was back in school, still benched from any training but able to get around. Though Makoto said Nagisa wasn't even getting in the pool for a dip while the others swam. He hasn't worn his swimsuit since they got back from the islands. The others have apparently tried to get to the bottom of things, with little success.

So Rin is back again, this time armed with his iPod and some motivational music, along with a book on physical rehabilitation.]

[It had been a short time since Yang was brought back to their apartment at Crystal Heights after a serious fight, and to say he and Blake had been worried had been an understatement. At least she was healing okay, though he couldn't quite help himself from checking in on her more than some others might consider decent.

Which is where he's headed today, to her setup in her and Blake's bedroom. He paused outside the door, then rapped on it twice with the backs of his knuckles.]

[All his life, he's been the underdog. Second or last, it didn't matter. He never came out ahead.

For a while, Tetsuo had tasted victory - real, lasting victory - and he'd become addicted to it. Everything he ever wanted fell into line just as he wanted it. Anyone at the hospital tried to stop him, and not even others with powers like his could stop him. Yamagata tried to stop him, and look where he ended up!

But then... just like so many lives before him, the fantasy ended, and it was all over. One second, his power was there, liquid fire in his head - and the next, all that was left of it was a dull, strange ache through his entire body.

He'd traded his old life away for a new one - what he'd been so sure was a better one - but now all it had meant for the past three days was hiding in alleyways and darkened corners. Hiding away from anyone who might recognize him. Followers? Hah - the second he went back to being normal they turned tail and scattered like roaches. It's just him against the world, and the world took away his weapons. It wasn't fair. In the end, he never got to find out a damn thing beyond just how many enemies it's possible to make in a week.

He'd gotten one of his wishes, he's aware enough to reflect bitterly. No one was going to come to his rescue now. Kaneda's probably dead, Yamagata definitely was; it was probably for the best that Kai and the others weren't going to find him here.

Because he was back to square one, back to being that scared little kid in his head he hated so damn much. Back to huddling in a remote corner of a condemned building, head in his hands, trying his best to not cry.

All his life, he's been the underdog. Why did he ever expect anything could change?]

[Why the heck would you want to do 13 or 18 with this guy?]

10 for gross injustice

[big_laundry]

[Today wasn't a day for thwarting bad guys or making things, no. Today wasn't a day for calling Vanessa over either. Today was a day of Doofenshmirtz just hanging out on the roof Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated, just looking down from his precarious hangout.

His face lacks its usual weird science luster, none of that today. Today's not a day for inators or speeches. Today's a day for just sitting on the roof by your apartment with a lost expression on your face. Happy what was just said day.

That's not the only thing, of course. In his hand is a metallic cylinder, carrying a familiar blue paint. It looks cracked and warped, liked something happened to it. It rolls in Doof's lap like a kind of fatalism, as if this falling out of Doof's hands wouldn't matter one bit.

He pulled out his cell phone once before putting it back. That was the only variation in his routine today.]

11/1 time to put that foc part of aligned continuity to good use

[imatruck]

[It's just a routine scouting out in the wild--a rare opportunity for Grim to go out in the field given his conspicuous dinobot form. Couldn't go out in that no matter how good truck sounds he could make.

He'd have to make do with hoofing it out in the forests. It was nice, he was running alongside Bumblebee, just smiling and chatting it up. Protocol and stuff, uh yeah sure, that's Strongarm stuff to worry about. He was just happy to be out and about.

So happy he didn't notice the cliff ledge that immediately made him topple over down down face first. Even for a big tough dinobot that impact looked pretty recoil-worthy.

But he didn't feel anything. No, he wasn't feeling, he was getting something. Flashes of something like from a dream...

So you're the one they call Grimlock?

It's weird, it's like he's seeing himself...on Cybertron. Old Cybertron. But this wasn't any part of Cybertron he remembered...or liked.

Grimlock on the outside was blank-eyed, his optics giving a thousand-yard stare.]

For the most part, she really tried not to bother humans or demons. She just lived, usually by herself, always out in the forest. It gave her less to worry about; eat, find shelter, sleep, ward off enemies. That was what she did.

A clamor some ways away from her favorite berry bush startled her one day, and she pondered whether or not to address it. Not her problem. Somebody else should deal.

The clamor grew louder as it approached her. With an annoyed grumble, she lumbered towards the noise. If it wouldn't keep quiet, she would make it stay quiet.

[The scene was the outskirts of Waverly Bay, where the cloaked gem was currently doing battle with spidery gem monster. He was holding his own and nearly had it defeated, when another suddenly rose up from behind, leaping at him with a shriek. He turned sharply, wide-eyed-

And across several blocks echoed an anguished, pained cry in a voice that might be familiar to a few.]
