STATE OF EMERGENCY MEME

STATE OF EMERGENCY MEME



You know how it goes. You could be going through your normal every-day lives, when a news report flashes up, or a siren goes off. Or, you could be emergency services, or military.

What will you do when the state of emergency is declared?

Scenarios

Natural Disasters

1. Earthquake - The standard earthquake can cause much destruction.
2. Flood - All that rain was bound to break something...
3. Tornado/Hurricane/Twister - Sometimes, life just wants to punish you.
4. Tsunami - Earthquake and flood rolled into one... hope that's just an aftershock.
5. Volcano - So, the mountain you decided to be around has indigestion.
6. Virus Epidemic - Everyone seems to be coming down with a bad case of the plague. And it's highly contagious.
7. Space - A Meteor or an Asteroid has, or is going to, collide with the Earth.

Man-Made Accidents

1. Accidental Nuclear Exposure - Poor maintenance, shoddy storage techniques, or crappy security measures.
2. Accidental Chemical Exposure - Better stay away from the glowing green goop in the sea. It probably won't give you super powers.
3. National/International Power Outage - It'll be back on, soon, right?
4. Fire - Maybe you should be more careful where you toss your cigarette butts.
5. Sheer incompetance - Perhaps the Virus Epidemic is caused by a test subject escaping? Careful what strays you pick up, and who you shake hands with.

Intentional Man-Made Disasters

1. War - The most common way to ravage an area.
2. Bio-chemical Weapon - Weaponised disease.
3. Civil Unrest - Due to a serial killer, or the rising price of oil. The streets are no longer safe.
4. Nuclear Attack - Looks like they finally went through with it...
5. Transport Hi-jack - With the intent to take as many people down with them...

Sci-Fi Channel/SyFy Movie Disasters

1. Sharknado - A tornado... made of sharks. Pretty self-explanatory.
2. Mongolian Death Worms - Did you try to steal their treasure?
3. Mega Pirahnas - Don't go in the rivers.
4. Sudden Ice-Age - Baby, it's cold outside...
5. Sudden Heat Wave - So take off all your clothes.
6. Aliens - Whether it's an alien computer virus taking over a Soviet Battleship, or Stonehenge as a doomsday device.
7. Volcano in downtown - Gee, did the Planning Department mess up this time!

PROMPTS

1. In the middle - You just got caught up in all this. Are you hurt? Will you help others, or do you need help yourself? Are you the type to take command, follow orders, or sit in a corner?
2. Emergency Services - You're a member of the Emergency Services or Military. Were you trained for this? Will you still be able to help, or just fall apart?
3. Instigator - All this is your fault, whether accidentally or on purpose. Do you help out, or sit in your doom chair and laugh?
4. After-effects - Maybe that virus caused zombies, or you're living in the throes of Nuclear Winter. Perhaps you're rebuilding, or plotting revenge.
5. Obligatory Romance Prompt - Nothing like the end of civilisation to bring two people together...

RULES

1. Post a comment with your Character Name, Canon, and preferences in the subject line or comment.
2. Leave your comment blank or type up a starter by picking from the above. Whichever you prefer.
3. Find someone else to tag into. Use RNG or pick a prompt.
4. Have fun with the end of the world.

Emergency Services - Bio-chemical attack - let me know if any of this doesn't work for you!

[out_of_time]

[This is about as bad as it gets. Someone- no one knows who yet- has released something- no one knows what yet- into the Los Angeles subway system. Clouds of sickly-looking vapour are drifting through the tunnels. People who breathe the clouds stagger to the ground, choking, twitching, dying.

Crowds of justifiably-panicked people are stampeding out of subway entrances all over the city, some of them cradling the bodies of stricken loved ones or strangers in need of help. Emergency responders and counter-terrorism agents have only just arrived on the scene, still trying to establish some kind of control over a nightmarish situation. One of them is Jack Bauer, pointing with one hand while holding a cell phone in the other. He's yelling orders, a little muffled through the gas mask he's wearing.]

I want all available intel on the subway sent to my P.D.A, let's see if we can find where this substance is coming from. And get a perimeter set up and get these people into quarantine! We need them decontaminated!

[Whatever poison or disease has been unleashed, the last thing anyone needs is for it to get spread beyond the subway by fleeing civilians.]

The fact that a 10.1 quake hit Tokyo dead-on, and was shortly followed up by a 9.5 near Fuuto, wasn't just mere coincidence, in AkaRed's mind. But there wasn't time to investigate that - not when those two earthquakes caused strong, multiple aftershocks throughout Honshu Island, causing widespread damage in many areas. Practically every Sentai team was involved in the rescue effort, and some of the first reports confirmed that the vast majority of Riders were helping out as well.

AkaRed himself made his way towards Amanogawa High after hearing that many students were still trapped in the collapsed areas of the school. He carefully climbed over the rubble, listening and searching for any survivors.

[OTA as in open to any character and would be willing to start the scene, but I'll pass on the SyFy scenarios thank you]

RNG gave me. Intentional 3 or 5.

[Whatever's going on, it's not Loki's fault. Probably. Just because he's the god of mischief doesn't mean it's always his fault when things go wrong, does it?]

4-7-3?

[rhythmshock]

[But if you're just going to stand there in the middle of it, standing out like a beacon in a blizzard, then you're definitely going to look suspicious...and in that getup you're going to look even more suspicious.]

Well? You plan on standing around like a lost lemon while everything melts?

[Speaking of which, what the hell is this guy doing in the middle of a meltdown?]

Saft | Original Character | OTA

[whitescalesbigmouth]

Re: 4 Nuclear Attack

[otakon_geek]

Saft? Is that you? [Otacon forced his way through rubble and debris from the aftermath of the explosion. The attack had taken place many miles away, but the damage had already been done to the neighbouring towns and cities. Otacon had been looking for Snake, but now Saft was the main person to rescue. Kicking aside a broken door and some smashed window pane, he made his way towards the shocked form of his friend. The Mk.II was busy trundling in front and clearing a path for Otacon to walk across.

He coughed, as the dust was thick within the air.]

Saft? Where are you?

Doctor Doom | Marvel Comics

[bowbeforedoom]

[Odds are, he's probably behind this as part of some plan to ruin the life of Reed Richards and/or take over the world.]

how's this

[agoddessonce]

[ When Doom sought to cut the power off from the Baxter Building, he ended up causing a state-wide black-out? "Why go to such lengths?" was a question that Ororo had heard brought up more than a few times. To those that knew him, it was easy enough to guess. Because he's Doom.

Regardless, a few of the X-Men who had history with the man were invited to come and try to help. Or at least, Sue had asked Ororo a couple of favors, "as a former member of the Fantastic Four." So here she is, moving from generator to generator in city to city, helping to provide emergency power and alleviate the weather where necessary. She doesn't expect to run into Doom herself, not so soon, but here he is. ]

Doctor Doom!
