lost in the woods



the lost in the woods meme


You forgot your compass, lost the map, took the instructions of that crazy old guy living in a log, or were just plain stupid and falling for every horror movie cliché. Someone mentioned that it wasn't raining, someone really insulted a psychopath squirrel, and whatever plans you had were utterly ruined. Or maybe, despite everything, it went along perfectly. Whatever happened, you’re lost in the woods and there doesn’t seem to be a quick way out. Will you get back onto the path easily, or will you stumble upon some trouble? Or not? Anything is possible!

WARNING: Some of the prompts below include horror elements, so be sure to plan things ahead!

2. ACTION
3. HORROR
4. COMEDY
5. ROMANCE
6. BONUS CHALLENGES


general

PICKING FLOWERS ✿ Nothing simpler than going out and collecting some flowers. It is to brighten up a room? Cheer up a sick friend? Woo a loved one? Wait a moment… where did the path back home go?

HIKING TRIP ✿ Gotta love getting some exercise and fresh air, seeing new sights, and getting to the top of a summit. Hold on. You were supposed to turn left. Right?

PICNIC ✿ You had the perfect picnic spot in mind, and it was going to be a lovely afternoon, but you lost the map or took a wrong turn. Might as well find a decent spot somewhere before you get too hungry.

EXPLORING ✿ Everyone loves to explore the woods! Will you see deer or squirrels? Maybe find a creek you didn’t know about? Or lose sight of your house?

GAME ✿ You were playing paintball or hide and seek, but somehow, you lost your way and cannot find your way back to your friends. Hopefully they’re looking for you.


action

BATTLE ✿ Your worst enemy (or the latest criminal of the day) thinks that they can lose you in the woods, but they are totally wrong. But the woods are deeper and darker than you thought, and there are more dangers in it too.

HUNTING ✿ The woods are the perfect place to find a hiding spot for a criminal or someone else who might be running from you. But what is a haven could also be your undoing if you don’t know how to get out of there alive.

STRANGE SIGHTING ✿ Come on! You’re not going to let whatever that was get away, are you? Time to find that mysterious crash or that ghost, but you have only yourself to blame if you get into trouble and can’t get out of it.

LOOKING FOR CLUES ✿ Some sort of mystery is going on, from a ghost story to a jewel heist, and clues have led you to the woods. Will you find the hide out? A crime scene? More clues to reveal who or what is going on? Or just get more lost?

LEGEND ✿ There is a legend about these woods, and it’s always been a dare to go into them and see if you can find the truth behind it: a ghost, a creature, a god. But the thing is, no one ever got lost in the woods on the dare, and no one has ever found it before.


horror

BEING HUNTED ✿ You’re being hunted by a psychopath or something just as equally as horrifying. You have no other option but to go into the woods, but in your fear, you lost your way and you just might be heading back where you don’t want to go.

GHOSTS ✿ From ticking someone off to doing a taboo ritual, ghosts are out to get you. Can you lose them in the haunted forest or will you just meet your doom?

MONSTER CHASING ✿ A werewolf, the creature from the black lagoon, or a vampire, you are hunting down something not human with a vengeance. Wait. They might be hunting you, since you have no clue where you are in this dratted forest.

EVIL CABIN ✿ It was supposed to be a nice vacation, just a simple get away… but how were you supposed to know that a serial killer was vacationing there too? Or that it was cursed? Or something else that wants to kill you?

ANCIENT GROUNDS ✿ The tour guide told you not to step beyond those rocks for a reason! These were sacred grounds and now you have to face the wrath of ancient guardians. Can you lose them in the woods or figure out how to appease them?


comedy

EVERY ACCIDENT EVER ✿ You lost the map. The tents won’t go up. Someone broke their leg collecting firewood. Those leaves were poison ivy. You know the drill.

LOST THE MAP ✿ Was it that evil raccoon? Or perhaps you forgot it at the camp three miles back? Whatever the reason, you’ve decided that you’re just going to follow the trail wherever it goes, and it turned out to be your worst decision ever.

COMPASS IS WRONG ✿ The magnetic fields of the world is just messing with you now, sending you in a direction you didn’t want to go. But it might be a fun, if crazy, adventure. But is that the same bear you messed with earlier this morning?

WRONG DIRECTIONS ✿ We told you not to listen to that crazy old mountain man! Because instead of heading home, you’re up the wrong mountain.

ON PURPOSE ✿ Yes, you got lost on purpose. Not really, though. You just really wanted to pull a prank on your friends, or maybe get back at them.


romance

SURPRISE ✿ Did you bake them a ten foot high cake? Is it a surprise party? Or are you just being an awesome boyfriend or girlfriend? You have something planned in the forest and it’s going to be a wonderful day for everyone involved.

SECULUDED SPOT ✿ Everyone loves some place quiet and alone to be with their loved one. Hidden in the trees, a creek bubbling in the background, and stars above, there is nothing like going into the middle of nature to do nature things.

PROPOSAL ✿ On a hike, at the top of a difficult mountain to climb, in a field of flowers in the middle of the forest, a bunch trees can be just the spot to pop the question.

MAGICAL WONDER ✿ You have got to show someone this! A cave filled with crystals, a baby deer with its mother, a beautiful lake… They might not like the woods, but you’re dragging them with you to see this wonderful sight you can’t see in the city.

DATE ✿ It’s certainly different from movies and popcorn! Do you have a picnic set up? Is there fishing involved? Perhaps bird watching. Be creative!


bonus challenges

RAIN ✿ How many times do you have to see it in movies before you learn not to say, “At least it’s not raining?”

INJURY ✿ A sprained ankle, a concussion, maybe even a splinter. Any sort of injury is going to make an experience in the woods more miserable.

FOREST RANGER ✿ Is he friendly and goofy? Or just out to give you every ticket that you can be given in a forest? Either way, he won’t leave you alone.

WEIRD NOISE ✿ Yes, we know you’re hearing things. Wait, I think I heard it too. Is there something there, or are we just going insane?

STALKER ANIMAL ✿ This animal is just out to get you! Throwing acorns at any chance, determined to eat you… You just can’t scare it off!

{ people say a nature hike is good for a troubled mind, right? }
It's one thing to be so in sync with each other that upon meeting a young, sweet fan is enough for them all to unanimously agree to shorten their hiatus and go back to work - but it is quite another to actually do it and realize, oh shit, maybe making the hiatus a little longer would be good for them.

They could all use the healing, to be honest.

Whether any of them wants to admit it or not - actually, Zoey was the first one to actually do so - their final battle against Gwi-ma and the Saja boys had significant impact on them, for many reasons. Unlike their youngest (and smallest) member, Rumi and Mira were definitely a little more guarded and somber about what happened at Namsan tower. It had become somewhat of an infected wound that was hard to talk about and while they had vowed to try, to no longer keep secrets, it was difficult to find the words.

After originally suggesting they trek the trails of Naksan park, which was quickly axed, Mira suggested hiking through Bukhansan national park. Larger and steeper and way more challenging, Mira still thought it was a better option than to press Rumi any further on why she didn't want to go to Naksan. Maybe in time she'd share why she'd had such a reaction to it.

She stops and unscrews the top of her water bottle, gulping down the liquid like it was the nectar of the Gods. She considers herself a fairly in-shape person, but maybe the thinning air is getting to her or something, but her chest feels raw, like she can't process the oxygen properly. It could also be the fact that the past 25 minutes or so had been trekked in silence because neither girl seemed to know where to start the conversation.

If Zoey didn't have that podcast to record with her friend, she could have come with them and popped the balloon, so to speak, perhaps getting the ball rolling. Instead, they are halfway up to the Insubong peak and the topic burning on both of their tongues has yet to be addressed.

She watches as the other girl, a few meters ahead of her, doesn't seem to notice that Mira's stopped for a little drinking break.

"You staying hydrated up there?" she calls over to her before having another long sip from her bottle.
