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?!

Well, I was.

[ Raises his eyebrow at Tony!! ]

Can I help you?

[liverletdie]

[ Well he makes kind of a jaunty little wave.

Jaunty, meaning, sarcastic. ]

I don't know. I'm thinking you might. I thought we might have a little chat.

[osreborn]

A chat about what?

[ He narrows his eyes, but doesn't seem hostile or anything. Just a little impatient. ]

What is it?

[liverletdie]

About things, actually. [ He doesn't stop moving, but damn if he doesn't look annoyed. Somehow. In an iron suit. ]

I don't know how I feel about this whole...new you thing. It's creepy.

[osreborn]

Creepy?

I would think you'd be pleased.

[ He crosses his arms. ]

[liverletdie]

Pleased? [ He shrugs. Something about things being upside down. ]

Oh no. Something about it's off, you know what I mean? Something about the wolf in sheep's clothing? Even if you defang the wolf, it's still kind of a wolf.

[osreborn]

There's nothing wrong with wolves, Stark. The world needs them just as much as it needs sheep.

Besides. What concern of it is yours?
