THE QUIET MEME

Rules:

- Post your character with name and canon, and also any preferences.
- Reply to other characters, using the RNG (1-7) to choose an option.
- Decide on roles and go to it!

1. The Quiet Game
The first person to make any sound loses. Do they lose a bet, do they have to buy the next round, or is this just for innocent (or, not so innocent) fun? Are you the one making your partner lose, or are you the one barely able to contain yourself?

2. At the Library/Museum/Church
You're both in a place where making noise just isn't very appropriate. So why do you feel the urge to make some?

3. Do Not Disturb
One of you needs quiet; perhaps they are studying, working hard at a project, or even sleeping. Either way, they've asked you for some peace and quiet. Why can't you just leave them alone? How far will they go to get the quiet they deserve?

4. Sneaky
One of you is sneaking somewhere you really shouldn't be sneaking. Is it illegal, or are you just trying to get a midnight snack? Are you breaking in, or out? Did you overhear something you shouldn't have?

5. Someone is There
Somebody is in the house! Is it your friend playing a prank, or is it more serious than that? Do you know who is there? Are you hiding from them? How afraid are you? Don't give yourself away!

6. Can't Talk
One of you literally can't utter a sound. Maybe someone or something magical stole your voice, or maybe you've just caught a bad cold, but not a peep from you. How's your sign-language?

7. Forced
One of you has been forced to be keep quiet, restrained either by threat or physical force. Is this a game with someone, or is it more dangerous than that? How will you get the other person's attention, or are they the one who forced you in the first place?

[ It's the middle of December here in good ol' Siren's Port, Canada. Know what that means?

It means there's a fucking Claire sneaking through the jail, up the corridor Kotetsu is supposed to be keeping an eye on, but currently he has his back to. Perhaps he's turned to keep an eye on the security camera footage and been distracted by a pot noodle? Who knows. Well, whatever, you're being watched very intently by a figure hugging the walls to keep those high-vis orange prison scrubs in the shadows and padding in your direction with painstakingly practised silent footsteps. ]

[ He is keeping an eye on it, he's just on break because his back aches from leaning against the wall so long! Claire's more of a talkative nuisance than a physical threat trying to claw at him through the bars, which was probably enough to lull him into this false sense of security. Instead of properly noticing the lack of conversation, Kotetsu's thought of it as a pleasant pause, although his ears are keener now to any sound in the corridor.

After that good few seconds of stretching his spine, he glances back at Claire's cell; no movement. Or is there? Maybe the guy's just asleep? He might be some kind of criminal but waking someone up just to check if they were asleep in the first place is just rude. This is a decision he'll wrestle with for a long moment, arms folded. Completely unaware. ]

[ As Kotetsu moves Claire ducks into a doorway and becomes completely unmoving, breath slowed to a steady, manageable pace. If Kotetsu decides to check on the cell everything falls apart: Claire might be able to dodge him in the dark of the corridor but once he realizes he's not where he's supposed to be the alarm will be raised and he'll have to make a break from the jail not in the plan or be escorted back to his cell. No more of a punishment than what he had already, but a humiliating failure on a personal level!

As that moment of uncertainty drags on even his heartbeat starts to slow. He's focussing everything he has on willing Kotetsu to turn back around. ]
