For Challenge #4:
We're the horniest boys/With the corniest ploys/We take the easiest girls/To our sleaziest worlds
With our leacherous plans/In our treacherous hands/You'd be wasting your time/Saying no, it's a crime
All that we live for you'll regret/All you remember we'll forget
(Chorus:)
We are the dead of night/We're in the zombie room/We're twilight's parasites/With self-inflicted wounds
We are the dead of night/We're in the zombie room/Heavenly oversights/Eating from silver spoons
With our decadent minds/And our innocent lines/You'll be playing our games/With your bodies in flames
When delirious fun/Has seriously begun/You'll be down on your knees/You'll be begging us please
All we're demanding you'll supply/All we're accused of we'll deny
(Chorus repeat)

For Challenge #5:
"....Virtually anyone can get Stockholm Syndrome it the following conditions are met: (1) Perceived threat to survival and the belief that one's captor is willing to act on that threat; (2) The captive's perception of small kindnesses from the captor within a context of terror; (3)Isolation from perspectives other than those of the captor; (4) Perceived inability to escape...."
~~From "Out of the Cave, Exploring Grey's Anatomy"
"Victims have to concentrate on survival, requiring avoidance of direct, honest reaction to destructive treatment. Become highly attuned to pleasure and displeasure reactions of victimizers. As a result, victims know much about captors, less about themselves. Victims are encouraged to develop psychological characteristics pleasing to captors: dependency, lack of initiative, inability to act, decide, think, etc. Both actively develop strategies for staying alive, including denial, attentiveness to victimizer's wants, fondness for victimizer accompanied by fear, fear of interference by authorities, and adoption of victimizer's perspective. Hostages are overwhelmingly grateful to terrorists for giving them life...."
~~From The Peace Encyclopedia
It takes about 3 or 4 days for the psychological shift to take hold.
