THE ‘WE’RE STRANDED’ MEME

You’re stranded it’s as simple as that. Maybe you were on your way to a nice relaxing holiday, a business trip or maybe you were just on your way home. Whatever the case, it doesn’t look like you’re going to be reaching your destination any time soon. You’re stuck and all you can do is to try and survive until help arrives. If help ever does arrive. Well, at least you’re not alone. No, there’s someone here stranded with you. Maybe you know them, maybe they’re a complete stranger or maybe they were stranded here long before you. Whoever they are you’re going to have to work together to get out of this mess.

What you do to survive and what happens to you is up to you. Do you search for food, do you try and find any signs of human life, do you have a run in with the locals or the local wildlife or do you just close your eyes and hope someone finds you. Whatever happens good luck.

WHERE ARE YOU STRANDED?

On an island – You’re stranded on an island in the middle of nowhere. There’s no phone or radio signal and there are no signs of life (that you can see). It could be a huge island with a dense forest in the center or it could be a small, sandy island with sparse vegetation cover. It’s up to you.
In the jungle – One minute you’re making your way along a jungle trail and the next minute you’re completely lost. You have no idea where you are, you have no idea which way to go and all you can see around you is trees and more trees. Have fun in the jungle. Look out for the wildlife and any local tribes
In space – The sci-fi option. For some reason you were in space. Maybe you’re inside a ship stranded in the middle of nowhere or stranded in the middle of some kind of asteroid field. Or maybe you were outside of your space shuttle and now you’re stranded with no way to return. Let’s hope your oxygen supply doesn’t run out
Open Water – Maybe you were simply out for a swim and the current was too strong, pulling you out to sea. Maybe you were diving and after resurfacing you’ve realized you have absolutely no idea which way is land and your boat is nowhere to be seen. Or maybe it’s a Titanic-type situation and your ship has sunk. Better get your life jacket ready.
High in the air – Maybe you’re trapped in a ski lift high above the ground just like the movie Frozen. Maybe you were on a roller-coaster or a Ferris wheel and the rides malfunctioned. Or maybe you’re just stuck at the top of a really, really high mountain or cliff. Whatever the situation you better not be afraid of heights!
Inside an elevator - This one is pretty self-explanatory. You were in an elevator, the elevator stopped and now you’re stranded inside the small space, probably with a bunch of people you don’t know until help arrives.
A cave – Maybe you had planned to explore the cave system or maybe it was a spontaneous event but you went inside and now you’re stranded with no way out.
The middle of nowhere – This can cover any landscape really: a mountainous area, a desert, the middle of the countryside, a tundra area. Whatever the landscape there’s no signs of human life anywhere. You’re stranded.
Wild Card! – Don’t like any of the options given? Come up with your own scenario!

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

Extreme weather! - You're caught in a blizzard or a thunderstorm.
Searching for food/supplies!
Setting up a camp/shelter from the rain
Coming into contact with (possibly dangerous) locals/local wildlife
Calling for help
Trying to find a place with better signal
Just generally freaking out
Trying to come up with a plan
An obligatory smut option
Wild Card! – There are so many options and so many things you could do in this situation. Use your imagination!

[Would you like a Lucifer?]

[Of course! Have any particular idea or scenario in mind?]

[I was thinking we could do number 6.]

[Chloe had been trained to handle all kinds of stressful situations, from the mundane to the dangerous. She wasn't a stranger to any of it, nor was she unused to having to think outside the box to solve her problems or cases. But as she stood next to her partner in the precinct elevator, briefing him on a case she'd been having some trouble with, she quickly realized just how long of a day she was in for.

The elevator suddenly lurched into a halt, knocking her forward a little.]

What--?

[She tried to regain her balance, one of her hands shooting out to grip at Lucifer's arm without really thinking. It took her only a few moments to understand what had happened, and she resisted the urge to groan and pinch the bridge of her nose as she realized they were most definitely not moving. Great. Just great.]

You have got to be kidding me.

Lucifer had been standing beside Chloe, listening to her as she told him the information that he needed for her current case, when the elevator decided to stop. The sudden motion made him quickly grab the railing before he was knocked off of his feet. He looked up and then back at Chloe. “Looks like we’ve stopped.” That was pretty obvious, but it had to be said. Now why they had stopped, that was the one hundred dollar question.

When the Detective reached out and grabbed a hold of his arm to gain her balance, he couldn’t help but grin. “So, who did you piss off this time?” he jokingly asked, knowing full well that the situation they were in had nothing to do with Chloe.

He reached out and started pushing random buttons, but nothing happened. They weren’t going anywhere. Not until the elevator decided to start up again or until somebody got them out of there, which ever came first. “Does this happen often?”

"Very funny," she muttered, pulling away abruptly when she realized she was still holding on to him. Her brows furrowed in thought as she watched him test out the elevator buttons with no luck, taking a step back to look at their full surroundings. The lights were still on, which was a good sign, but there was no telling if it would stay that way. And they seemed to have come to a complete stop.

She pressed the call button a couple times, but no one seemed to be answering. "As far as I know, it's never happened at all. I have no idea what's going on."
