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! 

TWO - I won't lie... I PICKED this one. DON'T JUDGE ME

[And here's Mal... sitting at a stupid table at a stupid restaurant on a stupid blind date.]

I can't believe I let Kaylee talk me into this.

OOC: it's like a prequel B')

LMFAO the phantom date

[realizing too late the folly of not having something set up to signal who exactly she's looking for...

lois is hoping it's not the greasy guy by the wind, scratching his lice. she's standing near mal's table, frowning in that guy's direction]


Maybe not too late to bail, Lane.

does this mean we have to wait for the third one for shit to go down?

[Mal's also watching Jayne, the lice-guy, when he hears the woman mumble Lane. He looks up from the newspaper and watches her with a smirk, rather than pointing out who he is. What? He wants to see what she does.]

I really hope that wasn't innuendo

[she hesitates another moment, before saying very loudly in his direction:]

Reynolds?

Not at all. There will be much heavy breathing though. Burned lungs tend to cause that.

[Sigh. Well that's no fun. Still, it's better to not worry about the transfer of lice.

He looks around to check if there was any law enforcement around before answering from behind her.]

S'pose ya oughtta just call me Mal from now on.
