My Kingdom For a Meme!

➔ Randomizer style, because it's my favorite.
Option one: hit up www.random.org/ and use the randomizer to pick a number between 1 and 6. Now match that number to the themes below and drop a comment with your muse, setting up the scene.  Let us know in the subject line what number you got.  Other people will respond to you and RP it out!
Option two: just drop a blank comment and I (and other people, if they want) will roll and respond, noting the scenario in the subject line and setting up the scene.  
➔ Multiple threads are cool!  You guys can play with each other too, not just me, if you want.
➔  For the complete randomizer experience, feel free to do what I'm gonna do and take a randomizer to your muse list to figure out who to tag people with.  B)

<ONE>
BIG BROTHER HOUSE.  Congrats, our characters are now on a reality TV program together!  It can either be one that locks them up in a house for a long long time until they all go crazy, or it can chronicle the events of their exciting lives together in a happening beach house.  Or Survivor.  Everyone loves Survivor.  PICK ONE AND GO.

<TWO>
BLIND DATE  Someone set our characters up on a blind date!  This can only end in wacky hijinks, surely.  

<THREE>
LAST MAN ON EARTH.   Maybe, like in the Langoliers, you were sleeping on a plane when it happened.  Maybe you were both napping at a bus stop.  Maybe you both woke up separately and are just finding each other.  Either way, every other person on the planet has mysteriously disappeared without a trace.  Except you two. 

<FOUR>
FANCY MASQUERADE BALL WITH OH SO AMBIGUOUS MYSTERY.  For the rich and famous or those who are pretending to be, for some reason.  SOMEHOW YOU SNAGGED AN INVITE.  But perhaps all is not as it seems ... and the stroke of midnight will prove it.

<FIVE>
ORIGIN STORY or HOW TO WIN SIDEKICKS AND INFLUENCE PEOPLE.   Radioactive spiders, nuclear meltdowns, weird space anomalies, field trips gone horribly wrong: either way SOMETHING is going to happen to imbue both our characters with superpowers at the same time.  Will they work together, or become ARCH NEMESES???    Alternately, if our characters both already have superpowers, they're now part of a superhero/villain team, and today's their first day working together.  Go.

<SIX>
PERIOD DRAMA.   Welcome to AU-land.  Put our characters in a different time period - the wild wild west, World War 2, Victorian England, cavemen, King Arthur's court, ANYWHERE that interests you.  They've always lived there.  And now they're running into each other, as they do their AU-y things.  Just roll with it, man.  OR alternately, one of them has always lived there and the other one just got transported there from the real world.  Hilarity ensues.
 
<OR>  MAKE UP YOUR OWN!

[ Yay for scary reality shows. She's waking up in a strange place and not knowing what the fuck is happening at first, so she pads downstairs and peeks around for ... signs of life. ]

Hello? Anybody here?

[ ...Simon does not like strange places. Especially big houses that sound basically empty. And with no apparent means of escape found yet, as he has learned already - he's still exploring, though. ]

...

[ ...a voice! ]

Yes, someone's here.

[ A voice back! Rogue follows it until she finds a boy, and her eyebrows raise. ]

You just wake up here, too? Or y'been here awhile? [ Enjoy her drawl okay. ]

[ Meanwhile, enjoy that accent of his. He takes a step back, natural instinct is do not trust anyone. ]

...Just woke up about fifteen minutes ago.

Where are you from? [because mass abduction?]

So you've got no idea what's goin' on either, huh.

Been in New York for awhile now. [ Yeah she's worried now. :c She doesn't want to ask if he's a mutant but... ] What about you? Where'dja come from to wake up here?

[identity profile] whosbarry.livejournal.com 2011-03-20 10:55 am (UTC)(link)
South London. [ He's suddenly, very concerned because that's not even the same continent. ]

I've been looking. Can't find a way out yet.

Two real diff'rent places, then. Maybe we should take a closer look around, see if anything seems dangerous? Yaknow, just to make sure. If we can't fahnd a way out we can at least trah to see if it'd actually be okay t'stay here while we figured somethin' else out. [ :c ]

I've looked a little. The door I found was locked. Should be food or something. At least.

Unless they're tryin' to just flat out kill us, they're not gonna starve us. And we've got beds and stuff. I don't get it but I guess all we can do is try t'survive.

Maybe it won't be so bad...kind of wonder where we are,though.

[identity profile] idontdotactile.livejournal.com 2011-03-30 05:45 am (UTC)(link)
Got no clue. maybe there's a map or somethin' laying around.

[identity profile] whosbarry.livejournal.com 2011-03-31 05:19 pm (UTC)(link)
That would be lucky....

Should maybe explore, then.
