the realignment meme... realignmement?

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?!

[ when he comes to, john will find himself on a chair, hands held fast by cuffs built into the arms, and legs similarly bound. its soldered firmly to the floor, meaning it can't be tipped over, and only the lack of a conspicuous helmet piece distinguishes it from an electric chair.

bradbury's sitting across from him, straddling a chair backwards with his arms folded over the backrest. his expression is grim, but from john's point of view, he only gets a glimpse of it before bradbury's reaching for a lamp and flicking it on to shine a bright spot of light right onto john's face.

old-fashioned interrogration tactics, indeed. ]


What happened to you, John?

All of this... it's a bit extreme, isn't it?

[ john finally shoots back at him after multiple attempts. he looks down and tests his bindings, experimentally at first, and then violently. as expected, he can barely move, though at least he can try and look away from the light being shone in his face. ]

Let me out of this bloody thing and maybe I'll go easy on you.
