THE TUNNEL OF LOVE MEME


Surely you've seen this sort of ride before, if not in person, on TV or in cartoons. The tunnel of love has become a staple, almost a trope in itself, of both comedy and romance. Most traditional versions lend themselves very well to that kind of awkward entertainment: the tiny, often swan-shaped, boats for two, the smelly and questionable water, and the garish colors and music that accompany the ride. Yes, there's a certain appeal to them.

Well, you'll see that soon enough. The Tunnel of Love you've found yourself on now has all this and more, including a fence that separates the two waiting lines. That means there's no way to know who you'll end up riding with. It might be a complete stranger or someone you know very well. Hopefully, whoever you get, the two of you will have a nice little ride together.

That is, if you can ignore some of the more...odd effects.

HOW TO PLAY
1. Leave a comment with your character. As per usual, you will probably want to list the character's name, canon, and any preferences in the subject line. You can either leave the comment blank or come up with a scenario.
2. Other people will comment. Congratulations, your characters are now stuck, willingly or unwillingly, on the ride together.
3. One of you rolls to determine what spell/effect/general ~magic~ will shape the scene.
4. Play!

OPTIONS
1. LOVE: The most obvious. No matter if they're complete strangers or otherwise, the two people in the boat together are now in love. It's not just a simple, understated love, either. Your feelings are of the intense, let's-elope-screw-everyone-else variety. NO ONE CAN STOP YOU AS LONG AS YOU'RE TOGETHER!~

2. LUST: Rather than being struck with the love bug, you suddenly want to bone this other person. God, they're everything you've ever wanted and you have to have them right here, right now. Who cares if you're on a carnival ride and in a tiny boat? You've gotta get your fix.

3. HATE: Uh oh. Something's gone horribly wrong, and instead of feeling positive emotions for your companion, you hate their guts. Nothing in this world disgusts you more than them. In fact, you might be so enraged by their presence that you take advantage of the dark atmosphere to hurt them.

4. FRIENDSHIP: Hey, it could be worse. At least the person you're stuck with is cool. The two of you have really gotten on, and there's a camaraderie here that's welcome. Maybe you'll pass the time making fun of how corny the ride is? That's a time honored tradition.

5. BAD LUCK: Remember that one episode of [INSERT 90s SHOW HERE] where the couple got their date sabotaged? That's happening to you guys. Your boat is sinking, or the water is spraying up in your faces. Or worst possible scenario, the ride stops in the most obnoxious part of the tunnel. You have to watch flashing cupids for a good hour before someone rescues you.

6. FREE SPACE/WILDCARD/YOU CHOOSE

Your character is in a dream. Maybe it's a reoccuring dream, maybe it's a fantasy, or even a nightmare? Maybe they're dreaming about their best friend dressed in a maid costume. Who cares, it's your dream, and dreams are private.

Or that's what you thought before your best friend magically stepped into your dream.


1. Post your character, for best results, describe a dream that they're having.
2. Characters tagging your character are suddenly there in the dream.
3. Run away from zombies, sip margaritas on the beach, gawk at just who they're dreaming about. Are you both aware it's a dream? Are you extra reckless because it is a dream? Do whatever you want! Have fun.

The WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT? Meme

Most of the time, we RPers hold certain conventions when we play. One of these is that no matter what the medium our characters are from, they are "real" people/aliens/gods/creatures and others will see them as such. But what if it wasn't like that? What if, for a moment, the 4th wall was pulled up and disbelief not suspended?

Or what if our characters were used to that, because they've lived in a world where humans and "toons" exist alongside each other their entire lives?

Well, let's see how it goes!

HOW TO PLAY
1. Comment with your character, putting any preferences somewhere in your comment. Also, you might want to include if your character is a "human" or a "toon." Hyper-realistic drawn or rendered characters can choose either.
2. Other people will respond, rolling the RNG to determine the scenario.
3. Play out the scene!

OPTIONS
1. First Time Meeting- You've heard about them, but you've never met a toon or a human before. How do you respond? Are you fascinated? Freaked out?

2. Coworkers- You know each other in some kind of professional capacity. Interpret that how you want.

3. Friendship- To you, they're not a toon/human. They're just your friend.

4. Hate- Something's happened in your past that's made you wary of toons/humans, but you've been forced somehow to confront the object of your distaste.

5. Romeo and Juliet- Love between humans and toons is not completely unheard of, but it's certainly looked down upon. Can you make your relationship work in a world that doesn't think your feelings are real, especially if your family and friends are against it?

6. Sex- It's not love. You're just having fun, and you want to know what it's like to be with the forbidden fruit. Plus, some of those cartoon women are super hot. Just sayin'

7. Lost Relative- Wait. Your long-lost sister/brother/uncle is a toon/human? How does that work? It's probably better not to ask.

8. Free Space- If you have your own idea, this is the option for you!
