1265 - Perfect Strangers ~ Thrown Together

Oct 27, 2012 08:19





Fortune's sophomoric humor bites you in the butt eventually. Happenstance smirks at the unexpected. Destiny's a sneaky bastard and Fate's a real mother. What can you do when the cards are stacked against you? Not a thing except go with the flow.

RNG 1-20 for the situation and take the opportunity to tag someone new: different points in history, different canons, that character who's always intrigued you but you've been too shy to tag. The Fickle Finger of Fate has thrown your two characters together (sometimes literally). How they handle the encounter might make history. Whether you tag an entirely new character, an AU version of theirs or yours or their first fateful meeting, spread it around and have fun.


The Scenarios:

1. Sticky situation - Your elevator shudders to a halt, tossing you against each other. It's late on a Saturday night/early Sunday morning. Looks like you'll be stuck here for awhile.

2. Killing Fields (Wartime x1) - You're on opposite sides and wind up leaping into the same foxhole. Do you call temporary truce or try and get them before they get you?

3. Blind Date - Well-meaning people claim you're "made for each other." Or maybe you tried that online dating service. You're dates holding a gardenia and you promised to wear a purple hat. Are you willing? Reluctant? That along with time and place are up to you.

4. Car accident - Whoops! You could have sworn you had the green light. Who would have thought someone else would be on the road this time of day/night anyway?

5. Hostage Situation - No one goes inside banks anymore, but you just had to sign those papers/open that safety deposit box, didn't you? You're either both present when the robbers rush in (customer or bank employee) or one of you can be the hostage taker.

6. Medic! (Wartime x2) - You're on the same side and one of you comes to the aid of the other.

7. Mistaken identity - You know each other...don't you? You could have sworn that was your old high school sweetheart, buddy from work, long lost relative, whatever. Should have looked twice before you enveloped them in that hug. Oops.

8. Jailbait - Well, hell. Looks like you went and found yourself on the wrong side of the law. Whether drunk tank, mistaken (or actual) prostitute, rowdy fighter, protester or criminal, you've been thrown into the same cell with this yahoo. What to do, what to do?

9. War's over! (Wartime x3) - Grab the nearest person and give them a smooch worthy of a magazine cover.

10. Excuse me, did you drop this? - Maybe you're a good Samaritan or maybe you're a con artist. Maybe you're using a ruse to meet someone interesting. Any way you play it, you claim the other person just dropped something and are returning it to them.

11. Seven Minutes of Heaven - You knew you shouldn't have come to a party where you hardly know anyone. Now your friend's wandered away with that smokin' hot guy/girl they've had their eye on and left you all alone. Typical. Just your luck you're one of the "fortunate" two shoved into a dark closet. Is this your lucky break or cruel and unusual punishment?

12. Accidental Hug - You're either pushed into or fall against the other person. Whoops! Better put out your arms and try to stop that fall!

13. Accidental Kiss - Same as Accidental Hug except this time you both tumble to the ground and your lips inexplicably touch.

14. Introductions - Maybe you're meeting for the first time. Maybe you've knowne each other forever. Whether it's on the playground, in college or when you joined that team, one way or the other, you're meeting for the first time. Instant like or instant hate?

15. Need a lift: Hitchhiker - The streets are dark or maybe it's daylight and you're hiking to the next gas station because you forgot to charge your phone. Maybe you're a drifter by nature. Either way, this kind person/possible ax murderer just stopped and offered you a ride. Do you take it?

16. Need a lift: Driver - The streets might be dark or you might be driving to the next city. Maybe you're a cop stopping to check out this pedestrian. Any way you want it, you're stopping to offer this person a ride.

17. World War Z! - OMGOMGOMG! The world's gone crazy and the dead roam the streets looking to make you their next meal. You dove for cover here--this store, this house, this farm, this alley--and run smack dab into--another human?

18. Ups and Downs - You love roller coasters! You're terrified of roller coasters. Whether you're down for this ride or not, you somehow got shoved into a car with a stranger. Better hang on for your life--or each other!--and pray the ride doesn't break down.

19. Lost! - You somehow survived and you're marooned on a deserted island. Or is it? Is that smoke you see on the horizon? Better check it out. Is it friend? Or foe?

20. Wild Card! - Your choice or make up something new.
