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!

Ohh, well that changes everything. I guess we can report to the federales that nothing of value was lost. Except for a few bank robbers and, oh, the entire town. [He throws open the door. SEE THE APOCALYPSE OUT HERE. IT LOOKS A LOT MORE APOCALYPTIC THAN NORMAL OUT THERE. THINGS ARE ON FIRE.

THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN A SPACESHIP FIRING LASERS ABOUT A HUNDRED MILES OUT. WHO THE FUCK KNOWS.]

I'm sorry, do you have a copyright on coping mechanisms? So, big deal, all of TJ's gone. There has to be somewhere else that hasn't been decimated. Just do your time-warpy-thing and we'll check out bigger cities.

I actually do. It ended a few thousand years ago, but I had it. [He claps Claire on the shoulder and BAM. NEW YORK.

Or not New York.

How about... Horrible New York of DOOM AND DESTRUCTION.]

Okay. D'you wanna see if anyone left their heart in San Francisco? Might be the only part of 'em left, but hey! It's something.

[ she's too distracted by PAIN AND SADNESS BY THE DECIMATION OF NEW YORK to snark back. she stumbles away from him and starts climbing around in the rubble of what was once the city's token skyscraping buildings, but is now more like a pile of trash for her to rock climb on. ]

We're not going anywhere. People could still be alive here.

[EYEROLL. GOD, CLAIRE. YOU ARE NOT GETTING ANYTHING.]

Angel? Hi? There's nothing. My brain's like a public broadcast system recording right now. I think the roaches are giving off more signal.

[ she snaps her head back towards him, shouting bitterly. ] It's been so long since you bailed that you wouldn't know radio waves from microwaves right now. So just shut up and help me look. [ yelling at him is helping her not freak out and cry because this is seriously ... worst fear come to life material for claire. but it's obvious in her expression that she's near tears anyway, so she turns away from him quickly and continues hiking. ]
