THE DARING RESCUE MEME

★ HOW DOES IT WORK?
1. Post as your character, listing any preferences you'd like respected.
2. The rescuer replies. They can select the scenario, or they can leave it to you to do it.
3. Whoever's doing the picking hits up the Random Number Generator for two numbers: one between 1 and 8, representing who the first character is being rescued from, and one between 1 and 5, representing the reason for the rescue.
4. Alternately, make up your own scenario if you want.
5. Play it out! You can play out the rescue itself if you want, or just the aftermath--or both.
6. Make sure you take note of any preferences a player might have and warn for triggers in the subject line if they crop up.
7. Have fun and make sure you swoon properly!

★★ WHO ARE YOU RESCUING THEM FROM?
1] Their greatest enemy. For whatever the reason, the character's greatest enemy has finally made a move and taken them captive. Who knows what they plan to do to the poor character? Good thing you've come to save them.
2] Your greatest enemy. Your own enemy has decided to make a move against you--but not directly. They've taken this character hostage instead. Show them who's boss and rescue the victim!
3] Natural disaster. Come hell or high water, you'll save the character...and, in fact, it has come hell (in the form of fire, maybe) or high water (perhaps a flood?). Or something like that. Whatever. The point is, nature itself has it out for the character, and it's up to you to save them.
4] Wild animals. Stephen Colbert was right: bears are the number one threat. Or maybe lions. Make sure the character doesn't become dinner.
5] Supernatural forces. Actually, it's dragons. Or evil wizards. Or demons. Take your pick, just so long as you rescue the character from them.
6] Pirates. Just what the pirates intend to do with this character might be a mystery--could be they'll walk the plank, or worse. Time to pluck them from the hook-hands of danger.
7] Vice. The character has sunken into dissolution, perhaps out of despair or maybe from sheer uncontrollable self-indulgence. You're the only one who can step in and give them a new lease on life.
8] Their own bad judgment. The character is committed to a truly terrible course of action. Fortunately, you're here to make them see reason...one way or another.

★★★ WHY ARE YOU RESCUING THEM?
1] Love. The fairy tales have it right. It's true love that spurs the knight to rescue his fair maiden...or vice versa.
2] Friendship. It's not always about kisses and ravishing, you know. Sometimes, you've just gotta look out for friends and family, no matter what sticky situations they get themselves into.
3] Rivalry. Only you're allowed to dish it out to the character! Better make sure no one else gets in your way.
4] Debt. The character owes you, in one way or another. They don't think they can get off easy, do they?
5] Money. Plain and simple: you were hired for the task. It's nothing personal, just business.

[These mountains are remote, they are high, and they are treacherous during the rainy season. Mudslides are not uncommon here.]

[Humans getting caught in them however was a rarity. Most avoided the area this time of year, or just passed by the range all together in favor of more hospitable terrain.]

[But this was beside the point, seeing as how there was a human here at the moment and they where very likely going to be swamped by the shifting soil.]

[To help or not to help, that was the question...]

[N probably wouldn't be up in these mountains, at least not right now, if he'd bothered to ask anyone about it. He really should have asked for directions, but he's sadly not in that habit.

He's not quite aware yet of how much trouble he's really in. It's just a bit muddy, that's all. And hard to move properly. And he can't quite see any decent shelter...]

[Aaand there goes the mountainside, giving way and sliding as the laws of gravity dictate with the little human right in its projected path. Great. If he let the boy get injured or killed, then this place would be swarmed by others who would come looking for him. Mewtwo had chosen this place specifically because he did not want to be found.]

[But preventing the hapless human's demise also meant erasing memories, and memories where a tricky thing to work with. Although it wasn't like it would be hard or that he had much of a choice at the moment.]

[With a mental sigh, he called upon his powers to halt the mudslide before it enveloped the boy. The soil and debris where then re-directed down a different route.]

You should not be here.

[Something stops holding above him, and N barely has enough time to register that he might actually die here before something else pushes it aside. Its new path is still so close that he can look just slightly to his right and see it flow past.

And then someone's talking to him in his mind, but that's much more in N's experience. The whole mudslide thing is much more of a source of awe to him right now.]

I didn't know that was going to happen. I'm not from around here. [He sounds like he's trying to catch his breath from the recent spike of terror- which he is- but not at all surprised by the voice.] Was that you? Thank you.

Then you should not tread in unfamiliar areas.

[He feels that flash of fear, but classifies it as something instinctual. Fear is good, it keeps one cautious and that keeps one alive. And yet, this human still didn't seem to be reacting properly.]

[Most would have been sent off in to a panic at the natural disaster, and then would lose it completely when contacted through telepathy. This one hadn't so much as flinched. Then it had thanked him.]

[Interesting.]

You are... welcome.

[Perhaps N shouldn't have trodden in this particular area, but if he didn't go to unfamiliar places then he'd never have left his playroom in the first place.

He doesn't feel particularly inclined to argue with someone that's just saved his life, though. Especially since after that, he can't quite bring himself to trust the ground enough to move from this spot. It'll probably be a while till he can get out of here.]

Who are you?

[Another interesting question that was. He could tell the human the truth, that mankind's thirst for power and insatiable bloodlust had brought about his unnatural birth. But what good would it do to get angry and place blame at this point?]

I am Mewtwo.

[Setting down on a patch of ground that was both stable and a reasonable distance away from N, Mewtwo finally brought himself out into the open.]

[But that's all the truth N needs to hear. He knows that story- parts of it, anyway, mostly the parts about how much humans suck- and when the artificial Pokémon actually makes himself seen, all thought of danger is forgotten. N's eyes positively glitter with ~~fanboyishness~~ awe.]

Amazing...

[There was a white dragon currently surveying the area right now from up above. Though getting more and more concerned each passing moment. There had been a rock slide, apparently. And the one he was looking for was absolutely no where in sight.]

[Ow. Ow. Ow. These are the thoughts currently going through N's mind. He's not quite sure what caused the rocks to fall, but it hurts on pretty much his entire body, three of his limbs seem to be at least partially pinned, and he can't see the sky. If he could at least see the sky, he'd be able to tell if his friend was coming to help; as it is, he's just got to trust that he is.

At least he seems able to breathe just fine. His left arm is the least buried part of him. What can it reach? ...not much, N's questing fingers report. A couple of rocks too big to move. Lots of rocks too small to do any good. One that shifts so alarmingly that N quickly stops pushing on it for fear of dislodging something that really will crush him this time.]

[He paused just so he could focus more clearly at the scene. And there, thank goodness for extrasensory, or else he might've never heard his... friend's thoughts.]

N... [Now that Reshiram could pinpoint where N was exactly he swooped down to the ground close by (so that by the off-chance his weight did disrupt the rocks more, it hopefully wouldn't crush N further). From then he moved closer, carefully with each step. The rocks where too big to move, ~~at least in his human form,~~ simply rolling them off might risk causing more pain too. So, there was just only one other way. Not the most glamorous, but Reshiram gnawed down on whichever boulder was the largest at the time to gently lift it off with his mouth. Having actual hands would be great right about now]

[there. Once they connected, Reshiram's presence, comforting and right (after all, in a way, N had been made for him) seemed to relieve some of N's pain even before anything had been moved. Still, he tensed when he heard him touch down- Reshiram would be careful, but he'd thought he was being careful, too. Apparently, you never knew what these rocks were going to do.

But the landing didn't disturb anything more than a bit of scree, and while the first boulder to be lifted caused a bit of a breathless moment when a stone that had been resting partially against it fell, it landed safely downhill from N.]

Thank you. Don't... go too fast.

I won't. [And with that he went on to picking up the next rock and moving it. He still wasn't honestly sure what to do once N was completely dug out. The nearest town was miles out and a simple flight back might be a bit out of the question. Hopefully something will be figured out when the time comes.]

[N was aware of that problem, but it wasn't much on his mind at the moment. No need to get hung up on the next stage until they'd ensured there would be one.] We'll need... to get rid of the rocks... firs- aagh! [The boulder pinning his legs had been propped up somehow, it seemed, and had just shifted heavily onto the right side. N had only thought he was hurting before.] Getitoffgetitoffgetitoff!

[Yup, he saw the boulder shifting, and saw where it was landing. ~~Might have even fluffed up a little in panic~~]

[Out of reflex Reshiram tried to push the boulder back up with his muzzle. Hoping that maybe, if N could at least crawl out some ways, he could set it back down after.]

[N had been trying to lie still and not disturb these unpredictable rocks, but fuck that (or at least that's what he would have thought if people swore in Pokémon.) Even if it hurt to move them... which it did... they were out of there as soon as Reshiram lifted the stone. At least enough of the other ones had been removed by now that N's sudden movement didn't disturb anything. That would have been all they needed.]

Okay. Okay. I'm, I'm going to be okay...
