Your psycho has probably beat feet out of there. Once he realizes that you are Boyo Jim rather than Boyo Bing, he’ll also realize you’re Xena’s platonic lover. Your vicinity is not a safe place to be.
Even Bruce Wayne gets kidnapped from time to time, Oak.
While I agree that it’s best to try to escape on your own given even the minimal supplies, I disagree that time spent writing the note is wasted. I’d still want to write a goodbye note. But though I wouldn’t want the BB to commit murder to avenge me, I wouldn’t say so in the note. What if she or he discovered the note AFTER killing the psycho? Even badasses have hearts to break.
I don’t know. Not enough details about the psycho. It would depend on what he did besides kidnapping me. More details about the hero would help too. From the other side, if I was the hero and got the note, and it indicated someone had been cruel to my beloved, they would suffer greatly no matter what she had requested of me.
I would want revenge. Kill my captors as well as any related individuals. Burn their homes. Torture them. Torture and destroy all they know or love. Just don’t go overboard.
The scenario seems to be that you get buried alive with the paper and pencil. So you can write whatever you want and the kidnapper won’t be involved. Presumedly your beloved badass finds your gravesite, digs up your body, finds out they’re too late to save you, reads your farewell note, and then throws their head back and their arms out and screams “NOOOOOOOO!!!” as the rain pours down on them.
Indeed, and the nature of the rain would help reflect the contents of the note: the fine drizzle that accompanies the note asking the BB to find mercy for the kidnapper, and the subsequent tears on the BB’s face, or the driving sleeting rain that runs down the BB’s face as they raise their dark eyes menacingly… and then a cut to a cabin somewhere, the kidnapper regaling an accomplice with the amusing story over brandy and cigars* as a fire crackles in the background and outside the rain falls in torrents, a door bangs, the villains look up startled, and… the scene continues in line with the movie rating. (Personally I’d be hoping for at least a hard “R”).
Torture my kidnapper to death. Kill his family and friends. Kill his dog, burn his house down and salt the earth. Then start on the other people on the list.
What do you care about the nudity? You’re DEAD. And even if you’re watching from Heaven, you’re just watching your Beloved Badass – Xena, Buffy, whatever – have sex with someone else.
I note that you took the time to distinguish between “kill” and “murder,” Skald. Given those circumstances I think my avenger will make the proper choice for him (or her) based on his (or her) own beliefs in retribution and afterlife.
Personally, my first thought is that I agree with the premise that was implicit in the Matt Helm books. (Matt worked as a professional assassin for the U.S. government as part of a department of similarly-employed individuals): Take out the guy who killed one of ours as a general warning that it’s not a good idea to mess with us. I may mellow at a later date. Karmically speaking, I don’t go around condemning people to death, but I’m in no way inclined to think that the evildoer really needs to continue evil-doing.
Nudity is always called for, by somebody. Doesn’t matter if I’m dead or not - somebody needs to get nekkid.
Where did I say that my Avenging Angel bumps uglies?
c) I am perfectly willing to envision my BB crashing into the villian’s lair, smiting his minions and choking the life out of his worthless carcass, then being tended to and comforted by the now Ex-Bad Guy’s newly-freed-from-vile-bondage harem of comely serving wenches. Kinda defines Heaven, actually.
Right. Here’s the thing, we have some sociopath that kidnaps dudes, then kills them. What’s worse, he’s a bumbling sociopathic killer that kidnaps the wrong dudes. Having BB take him out will mean that my death has some meaning, that some other poor unlucky schnook will not be the next victim of the bumbling sociopathic killer. However, I am willing for my BB to be Doc Savage, so that the bumbling sociopathic killer is merely sent to some private metal hospital for a lobotomy and “re-education”.
None of the above. I’ll avenge myself once BB digs me up. How you ask? I was only kidnapped due to being flustered from an encounter a few moments earlier with a strange, beautiful woman who bit be. Now I’m feeling all weird and thirsty…
Then my last wish would be for Bruce and/or Xena(being bisexual does have its advantages fantasy-wise:D) to do their best to bring the culprit in legally.
Does that include dying peacefully in your sleep at the age of 119, in the arms of your 28-year-old lover with whom you spent the previous night engaging in tender loving sex that was all about you?
That just leads to your Beloved Badass killing you his or her ownself.
