The Last Words Meme
This is it. The final curtain. You're at the end of your life, and there's someone here you really, really need to say something to before you die.
CAUSE OF DEATH
1 - Accidental. Nobody meant for this to happen, but it doesn't matter now. Due to negligance, arrogance or just plain bad luck, you've become gravely ill or injured and are now in your last moments. This covers all kinds of accidental deaths--strangulation, drowning, car accidents, unintentional beheadings, whatever you can think of.
2 - Murder. Somebody really didn't like you. Enough to kill you, it seems. You're now dead by someone else's hand. (Maybe even the person replying to you?) As with accidental death, this covers all types of intentional, malicious murder, regardless of method--so poisoning, stabbing, shooting, etc., all work here. Same with all the below options: any possible variation you can think of on it will work!
3 - Suicide. There is no hope for you, and no way out. You've reached the absolute bottom pits of despair, and the only recourse you have is to take your own life. Someone shows up to stop you... but they're too late to help you now.
4 - Terminal illness. You have cancer, or tuberculosis, or cholera back when people got cholera. The doctors have done everything they could and it wasn't enough. The only thing to do now is give your loved ones the bad news.
5 - Starvation. So thirsty. So hungry. Maybe you've been traveling in the desert for hours, or maybe you're just really poor. Whatever the reason, it doesn't matter, because you're slowly wasting away until you're nothing but skin and bones.
6 - Death in battle. You've died a hero's death, and gone out in a blaze of glory. Or maybe you were a coward who got shot for deserting? Either way, you're now a casualty of war. Will you be honored with a parade or scorned as a traitor to your country?
7 - Natural causes. You've lived a long, happy life, and now your story is at an end. In a warm bed, surrounded by your family and friends, you peacefully drift off. Just make sure that you've made a will somewhere, or at least use your deathbed to set the record straight. Otherwise, who knows what kind of squabbles might errupt after you leave this world?
TIME LEFT
1 - A few minutes. You're fading fast and you don't have much, well, any time left. Better tell the person with you that you love -- or despise -- them with your last breath, because you'll never have the chance otherwise.
2 - A few hours. You haven't got much time left. Is there someone you still need to kill? To kiss? Better do it quick. (Note: last kisses not recommended for people dying of highly contagious illnesses.)
3 - A few days. The doctors have given you the news, and it's not very good. You've only got a couple days left to live. You should start trying to make peace with people and saying your final goodbyes with the days you have left.
4 - A few weeks. Take that vacation you've always wanted to go on but never had the chance to. Go do that thing you've never thought you'd be any good at. You've got only weeks left to live. Don't waste them.
5 - A few months. While you aren't quite on death's doorstep yet, your lifespan has still dwindled considerably from what you probably thought it would be. How are you going to spend your last few months on Earth? Making the world a better place and telling your family you love them? Or raising as much hell as possible?
RELATIONSHIP
1 - Lovers. This is your husband, wife, boyfriend, girlfriend, mistress, whatever you call them they were the person you wanted to spend your life with. Too bad you don't have much of a life to spend with them anymore.
2 - Siblings. Your beloved little or older sibling is just standing there, watching you slowly waste away before their eyes. Can you say anything to comfort them? Note that it doesn't necessarily have to be interpreted literally; adopted siblings and friends so close they might as well be siblings work too.
3 - Parent and child. Nothing is worse than a parent having to bury their child... except, maybe, a young child now alone in the world after losing their parent. As with the sibling prompt, this can be expanded to include parental figures and people who are LIKE a father/mother to you as well as actual biological parents.
4 - Co-workers, teammates or classmates. You were fighting for the same side. Or you worked together in the same office for years. Or they sat behind you in biology all semester. However you met, how do your react when you find out someone who used to be a fixture in your life is going to die?
5 - Friends. You're the best of friends! You go everywhere together, know all each other's secrets, and are never seen apart. At least, you didn't use to be. Now one of you is dying and the other one is left alone in the world. Or maybe you're dying together. Wait, is that better or worse?
6 - Bitter enemies. You hate, hate, HATE this person. In fact, maybe you killed them. Or they killed you. Or maybe nobody killed anybody and they're just bitter that Mother Nature got to you before they did. Regardless, they want to confront you one last time before you bite it, if only to rub your nose in your imminent demise and their ability to outlive you.
HOW IT WORKS:
1. Using it random.org or a similar site, the first character to post rolls for their cause of death and how long they have left to live. They then post to the meme with their name, canon and the results of their roll. (For example: "Jane Doe | That One Series | 1 2" would mean Jane Doe from That One Series died of accidental causes and has a few hours left to live.)
2. Responding characters then roll for the relationship between the two of you. Optionally responding characters can also share your cause of death/time left to live or roll for their own, but that's not required. A living character caring for (or horribly mutilating) a dying one is fine, too.
3. Tell the person what you need to tell them before you bite it.
4. Have fun!

1 + 2 + 1; OH OKAY RNG. YOU SURE LIKE DEM ONES
He was scared. Panicked. Another doomed timeline. Another pointless death because he was still fucking up.
Oh god he's so sorry. He's silently mouthing apologies. He can't even tell the other how sorry he was. He can't talk. John was dying, and the last thing he'd know is that his best friend was mute and he never told him that he was mute. Fuck, he was a shitty best friend. Nevermind he desperately wanted it to be more then that.]
HAHAH SERIOUSLY.
He reaches out and grabs one of Dave's hands, trying not to move too much. Maybe if he doesn't move too much he'll be okay. That doesn't even make sense, but he's going to try.
Anyway, moving hurts.
Dave's apologizing, John thinks, if he catches those words on his lips right, and he doesn't know where his computer is. He needs a computer so he can tell Dave it's okay, so he can apologize for never telling Dave that he can't hear, that he's never actually been able to hear Dave's sick beats, that Dave is really the best friend he's ever had...
He could try to speak. He's not good at it at the best of times, but... he could try. He takes a shaky breath and does his best. ]
Need computer...
[ fuck ow, okay, no more of that talking shit, that makes pain shoot through him ]
no subject
He doesn't know why the other needs a computer. He wonder if the other has realized that he can't talk. He doesn't care. He shakily presses his iphone into John's hand. It wasn't a computer, but maybe this would be okay.
Maybe John has some bullshit cheatcode to stop this.
Maybe he's hoping for too much. But the shake in his hands make that childish hope seem pretty god damn nice right about now.]
no subject
ow.
thjat fucking hurt.
[ Ok, that's not actually what he wants to say, but that needed saying, and he can't easily say it otherwise. Dave's welcome to ask all the questions he wants, as far as John's concerned - he'd love to get this shit off his chest instead of keeping it secret. Why did he even bother? He can't really remember anymore ]
no subject
He couldn't reply back. So he just stared rather dumbly at the other, unsure what to do next.
He had no means of communication now that he gave John his only way to talk. Oh god, maybe the other must think he's an ass for not talking back...]
no subject
now would probbaly be a good timnne to mention
i'm deaf.
surprise?
[ God, Dave's gonna hate him Who the fuck keeps something big like that secret from their best friend? ]
no subject
He holds his arms up shakily. He doesn't even know if John will understand him. He does a simple gesture to indicate talking before crossing a hand over his throat. The same gesture people use when they mean to off someone, but the message should have been clear. That he couldn't speak. That he relied so heavily on the phone now in John's hand.]
no subject
He wishes he could hear, even if it hurt to much to talk. Maybe that would make things easier.
He holds the PDA out to Dave, his hands trembling a bit. When did they start shaking? ]
no subject
nothing to hear anyways
i guess being deaf really doesnt make a difference
when your best bro
cant even talk
[He gives it back to him. Dave look so scared. He didn't know how John would react.]
no subject
<<'What a pair,'>>
[ signed one-handedly, without even thinking about it, before he goes back to the PDA ]
we are totayl dumb.
guess i wasn't the only noe scared to say something?
[ He meant to say more, but fucking hell, he feels like he got run over with a semi. Which might not be totally inaccurate, those mobs hit like piledrivers. Thus his current condition.
He wasn't levelled enough. He's just the king of dumb decisions, apparently. ]
no subject
Fuck you John. Just, fuck you. He has never felt so god damn hopeless wishing some god send miracle to happen.
No, you were just gonna fucking die, and he was going to have to go back in time to prevent this, which meant he was doomed to. And it all sucked because you weren't going to remember this, so you weren't going to remember he's mute, and why is he even thinking about this? John is dying.
But what the fuck is he supposed to do? Other then, you know, cradle this dying body like it'll actually do something.]
no subject
He just sort of presses his face into Dave's shirt and breathes as steadily as he can, trying to push the growing pain in his abdomen to the back of his mind.
It's not working very well, unfortunately, and he clings to Dave weakly with one hand ]
no subject
It's okay though. No one will remember this ever happening. This break in his usual cool kid persona. Him showing so much weakness.]
no subject
And he's cold. For some reason he didn't expect it to end with cold. ]
no subject
And maybe he's rationalizing that if John doesn't remember, then admitting to things will be okay. It's not like John will remember anyways.]
this is probably shitty taste
and timing
but i feel like you should at least know
maybe youll die hating me
idk
