THE REALIGNMENT MEME

>>> OH NO YOU'VE BEEN EXPOSED TO RADIOACTIVE ANTIMATTER FROM THE EIGHTH DIMENSION AND NOW YOU'RE THE OPPOSITE MORAL ALIGNMENT THAT YOU USUALLY ARE. But don't worry! There are ways to cure that!

THE RULES

01 POST AS YOUR CHARACTER STATING WHAT MORAL ALIGNMENT YOUR CHARACTER HAS SWITCHED TO. This can be the binary Good/Evil or something more nuanced like along the D&D spectrum, just as long as it's an approximate opposite of what your character is normally like, morally speaking.
02 COMMENT TO OTHER PEOPLE either anonymously or logged in TELLING THEM WHO TO CURE! So you'll comment to X's character with Y's name + the curing method number as listed below. Specify if you want X to be realigned as well in that thread OTHERWISE assume X is normal.
03 THREAD OUT THE SCENARIO FOR AT LEAST FIVE COMMENTS otherwise you will have failed curing dear, dear Y -- and how can you live with that guilt??
04 HAVE A TERRIBLY FUN TIME.

THE CURES

1] Physical intimacy. Either hugging or kissing or second base, there's only one rule: it must be a sincere effort.
2] Take them hostage. The only way to reverse the effects of scientifically sound radioactive antimatter from the eighth dimension is to kidnap the patient and hope they develop Stockholm Syndrome, or come to their senses.
3] Self-sacrifice. The only way to bring them back is to let them kill you/maim you. Or make them kill you/maim you.
4] Interrogation. You MUST force them to reveal a secret about themselves, or they'll be stuck this way forever. You can be as kind and persuasive or as Orwellian as you need to be.
5] Make them laugh. If you can make them laugh, you've reversed this unseemly and totally realistic ailment!
6] Therapy. Convince them that talking this out is the best solution -- because it's the only way to save them!
7] Confess your true feelings ABOUT THEM to them! The truth will set someone free.
8] Wait, you actually already have a magicscience/deus ex machina cure! But you have to FORCE the serum into them, by ANY MEANS.
9] Good old fashion smack around. Yes BEATING PEOPLE UP, isn't that what heroes do?!

LAWFUL NEUTRAL

[enigmaestro]

[Because normally he WOULD use torture for pleasure! And smear it across authority's face (sorry Mitchell).]

[viced]

[ Well, he liked Edward better the other way, honestly. There's so much potential, right? Right?

Eddie's gonna find himself to awakening in a bunker, really. Food and water, all the necessities are entirely nonexistent. There is, thankfully, a latrine, but that's it. Well, a latrine and a sink. He doesn't want him to die, just learn to rely on him again.

Best. Boss. Ever. ]

PRETTY DARN EVIL

[ hope everyone enjoys demon lord terry, who has probably taken on daddy's moniker and is running around calling himself nightmare while feeding off the fears of hapless victims. ]

[ioudas]

(be careful, cross is usually quite apathetic about everything but now he's just vengeful and out for blood for anyone who would dare stand in his way.)

[liverletdie]

[ He doesn't know why he would be the person to do this, but hey, here he is. He breaks into wherever Cross is, in full battlesuit and everything. ]

Well, well. You don't look so good.

IMPERIALISTIC I DON'T KNOW THIS ALIGNMENTS I AM SORRY.

[solidorkable]

(For the glory of Arcadia, of course. This city will be won over to his family, and he will be treated like the Emperor that he is. Bless imperialism.)

Lawful Evil maybe?

[foreverbouncing]

Soooooo...tryin' to take over the city, huh?

CHAOTIC EVIL

[foreshadower]

[ You know how all that power to swallow planets and sustain the earth is contained in one very languid, lazy person? Well, no longer! Now the power to do whatever the fuck he wants is contained in a very...megalomaniacal individual.

Why not just do whatever the fuck he wants, anyway? ]

neutral e...vil...?

[ not so much alignment as character type: switching from the reliable one to pretty much just fuck all y'all and decided to fuck off into the wild blue yonder. basically ditched every responsibility ever, and will resist every attempt to bring him back?! ]

EV... IL.. TOO CRIES

[centurybaby]

[ so yeah, guess that whole taking-over-a-country thing was probably a warning sign. let's combine quantum cosmic powers with the idea that humanity needs to be ruled by a real bitch or else they'll ruin everything. she probably keeps humans aboard the carrier as hostages. and anybody who wants to stop her better be prepared to die for their cause!! ]

[Sherlock is normally chaotic good or neutral, but in this state he's suddenly hellbent on rules, and enforcing the law in any way possible. Uh oh it's lanky Judge Dredd better fix that shit]

STILL EVIL GO AWAY WIN!!!!

[heartlessglitch]

[ it's probably not a good idea to put a former robot in charge of an asylum anyway, especially extended entrapment in an organic body already makes her kinnnd of unstable. make her evil, and it's like all those horror movies where the warden does experiments on their poor patients.

for science. ]

sherlock + 4 + remain evil

CHAOTIC NEUTRAL

[liverletdie]

[ Because doing the right thing for the wrong reasons? Oh hell no. Why not just do whatever he wants? Responsibility? Nah. Giant sweet battlesuits? Because he can. Partying every night? Well, there are some things that will never change. ]

[ What good is a genius-level scientist who doesn't cure cancer and then not hoard said cure? Well. Debatable, but. All that science and money goes to good ends indeed. Also: vigilantism. ]

CHAOTIC................good i guess.....................

[ropedin]

[ The type of person who does the right thing because they can, not through duty or a need for order. Because it's the right thing to do. He's actually pretty zen about it all. GOOD HJ DOES WHAT GOOD HJ WANTS. ]

[fronttowardenemy]

[ well isn't he so less entertaining like this, though? Hooded Justice should be a force of nature.

What better way to wake up that old fire than with a fist straight into his face? It might inspire the old reaction, instead of this shit. ]

UNSURE IF NEUTRAL OR EVIL??? NEUTRAL EVIL?? CAN "BITTER" BE AN ALIGNMENT.

[crab]

[ at a certain point, the amount of caring and feeling and heightened emotional response that makes up your existence if your name is karkat vantas reaches a plateau. at a certain point, you start to wonder if it's worth it, trying so hard to help and protect those you care about only to hurt them worse than they ever would have been without your interference. at a certain point, you start to wonder if it's worth it even caring about them in the first place, knowing they'll leave you in the end, knowing you never deserved them anyway.

at that point, like an overloaded processor, your heart shorts out and shuts down.

he's burned out, empty, and he's done with trying, and trying, and trying, with zero payoff -- he's done flinging himself at that brick wall, as though doing it enough times would someday result in the wall crumbling instead of him.

he doesn't care anymore. ]

[ he's already been inside john's psyche. he's not sure what else there is left to find out, but he supposes he's about to find out. bradbury's no water boarder, though, never had the stomach for torture, so they're going to have to do this the good old-fashioned way. ]

This doesn't have to be difficult.

[ he's grabbed onto john's wrist, sweating as he concentrates to nullify the other man's power and hold his gun to his temple at the same time. ]
