Body Horror Meme
WARNING -- POSSIBLE TRIGGERS (violence, pain, parasites, zombies, etc)
body horror meme
Something's gone wrong. Maybe it was a little parasite, wiggling under your skin. Maybe something bit you that one night in the woods. Maybe someone decided they didn't like you and placed a curse on you, or maybe the local psychotic AI decided she liked you and filled you full of nanites. In any case, you're changing, body and soul. There's no way to stop it. No way to reverse it. And above all, it's the most painful thing you've ever experienced...
HOW IT WORKS:
- Tag the meme, leaving your character name, fandom, and any preferences in the subject line
- Other character tags you
- You tag back, and use the random number generator to select from the following options. Or don't, and do whatever strikes your fancy. If you roll something your character already is, either roll again, go for human, or pick something that otherwise suits your fancy.
- Other character reacts, or is free to also roll on the table
- Play out the results.
- Have fun, but respect the preferences of others.
1. Water-dwelling. You're growing gills, or your skin is turning translucent, or you're sprouting fins, or maybe you're outright turning into some form of sea life. It doesn't matter what you're turning into – what does matter is that you're slowly losing the ability to breathe air, and there's no water in sight...
2. Animal. Something bit you, and you're turning into an animal. Your bones lengthen or perhaps shrink, break, twist, and reform, your teeth lengthen or shorten, and above all, you feel your instincts being overridden. Your senses sharpen; you notice smells you never did before, your vision becomes more sensitive to movement. If you're a predator? Man, these people look mighty tasty. Prey? OHGOD, EVERYTHING IS TERRIFYING. Lizard? Enjoy your new inability to regulate body temperature. Bird? Have fun with the whole beak and hollowing bones. And don't even get us started on insects and arachnids...
3. Parasitic Something's inside you, and it's changing you from within, chewing up your insides and altering your thoughts. You're not sure how much longer you're going to be you, and when the parasite's going to take over completely...
4. Demonic You've been meddling with dark powers beyond the ken of mortal man, and it seems you've accidentally sold your soul. Will you be the traditional kind of demon, horns and hooves, or something far more terrifying and ineffable?
5. Undead: No doubt about it, you're dying, but as you are, something's been altered in you. Maybe you're becoming a vampire – and not the fun kind, either, we're talking ugly, ravenous, and mad. Maybe you're a zombie, or a ghoul, and human flesh looks mighty tasty. Or maybe you're just turning into a ghost bent on vengeance. In any case, death is never fun.
6. Cybernetic Get captured by the Borg? Strapped to an operating table? Injected with nanites? Whatever happened to you, you're slowly turning into something half man, half machine, your squishy bits being replaced by mechanical components.
7. Lovecraftian You've heard their song, the terrors from beyond the stars, and even now they sing in your blood as your flesh transmutes into something ineffable and unknowable. You revel in the pain you feel even as you seek to spread it, to herald the end of all things... or maybe worse, you're aware of the transition as your mind becomes not your own.
8. Fusion/Hivemind You begin to fuse with the first person who tagged you – physically, mentally, or both. Soon, you can't tell who is who, which one of you is the real you, as your thoughts become one. Join in the fleshsong, mortal...
9. Inanimate Your body slowly petrifies and hardens, turning to stone, wood, glass, or something stranger still; or perhaps you liquefy, turning to some kind of liquid, or maybe you dissolve into the air itself.
10. Wildcard / pick your own Pick whatever you like, combine a few options, or make up your own.

His grand ideas save the day
Our Karamatsu
Dayooooon~But really, it's not like Choromatsu honestly expects much either way out of Karamatsu. Sorry, bro.]
I guess, but what if he misses the river?
no subject
[Ichimatsu taps a fist into his palm, as if just coming up with an amazing idea.]
We'd have him throw Karamatsu first, so we know if his aim is right.
[THEY'RE SUCH GOOD BROTHERS, AREN'T THEY?]
no subject
Why me?!
[YOU STARTED THIS ICHIMATSU DON'T YOU EVEN.]
no subject
I dunno, you guys seem to be kinda differently shaped like this. The aerodynamics could be off. Anyway, flying fishmen are probably going to be noticed as much as regular fishmen.
[...and no vocalized concern for the proposal that Karamatsu could get hurt. Okay then.]
no subject
Even if the whole situation is indeed ENTIRELY HIS FAULT...]Oh, that's true...
[It hadn't even occurred to him, honestly. Maybe he's a bit too used to all six of them being so alike? Well, it's not like they're all EXACTLY the same, but the difference between his and Karamatsu's weight and body shape is certainly much more drastic now.
...Ichimatsu isn't sure whether he likes that idea or not.]
no subject
[There's a splash as Karamatsu's head falls beneath the water again, gills flaring as he takes a few deep breaths before resurfacing again so he can speak.]
Whatever we do, we need to- [Gasp.] -do it quickly!
[Ichimatsu pretty much has the whole tub to himself now, but the amount of water in it is abysmal, given the fact that a lot has been splashed out by now.
Also, the state of it is...gross. It's just really gross and Karamatsu wouldn't even be in it if he didn't have no other choice.]
no subject
[Choromatsu dashes out and towards the kitchen, searching around.]
Bags, bags, bags, bags...
no subject
He lifts the end of the tail and idly slaps it back down into the water a few times, slopping the goop here and there for emphasis.
That gross water IS getting harder to breathe, though, so he also reaches for the faucet and turns it on again, letting what was splashed out of the tub start to refill.
Honestly, he's glad Choromatsu understands enough to want to move them in secret. If anyone other than his brothers saw him like this, Ichimatsu would probably just die.
Karamatsu being his only companion in this... no, no, that won't do, though. He'll have to bite someone else eventually too. Maybe Jyushi, if he wanted. Ah, could he get Totoko-chan somehow, maybe? She's practically a fish already anyway, right? And then she'd be stuck with them for sure...
...Don't look now, Kara, but he's got that look he gets when he's spacing out thinking of unsettling, unsavory plots.]
no subject
With a grimace, Karamatsu pulls himself slowly along the edge of the tub to at least try and get closer to the faucet, turning his head when Ichi slaps his tail against the water. It also results in him catching that look when he catches Ichi's eye.]
...Brother, you understand that we have to remain isolated until this is resolved, right? For the sake of our brothers- no, the sake of everyone in Tokyo! We cannot allow this epidemic to spread!
[Meaning, no more biting.]
no subject
He remains oblivious to the plotting above.]
no subject
[They ALL know that all six of them tend to endure everything together, at the very least. If one or two of them is changing this much, how long until they all end up this way? A schism like this puts their balance as sextuplets in danger, and it's never lasted before.
So why would it now? Surely if the two of them can't go back to being human, there's only one other option for the remaining four.
aka, he is TOTALLY planning on more biting.]
no subject
[Karamatsu doesn't like thinking in ultimatums and absolutes. There's a possibility that this will wear off, just as possible as it is that it might...last forever.
...they need to find Chibita, immediately.]
For now, let's worry about getting somewhere more comfortable for the both of us...okay?
