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.
RULES
- Comment with your character, canon, preferences and any ideas you might have
- It might be useful to note whether you want the interaction to be between two strangers or if you’re okay with any assumed cr
- Feel free to set up your own scenario in your initial comment to give taggers something to work with or just leave your comment blank
- Pick a scenario that catches your eye or use trusty old RNG
- Reply to others!
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?
- 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!

Alright. But if you drop me or try anything funny, Vegeta will hear about it!
[ Okay, so Vegeta probably wouldn't care if he dropped her, which is probably more likely to happen... But still. ]

[ But she has her eye on you, weirdo. That isn't going to stop her from climbing onto his back though, and probably kneeing him in the side and choking him while she tries to find a comfortable position. ]
no subject
Do you have a firm grip, Bulma-san?
no subject
[ A firm grip on Lee's windpipe: check! ]
no subject
Then, let's go! Youth at full power!
[He makes a leap right off the cliff and then grabs onto the ledge very narrowly with one hand. Time to... very slowly and very carefully start climbing down.]
no subject
DON'T JUST JUMP LIKE THAT! WHAT IF YOU COULDN'T GRAB THE LEDGE? ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL US BOTH?!
[ She might also be rage squirming too... ]
no subject
My... my apologies, Bulma-san! But it was important that I started this movement in a very bold and hot-blooded manner! Don't they say that the best way is to start off running?

[ She releases her grip on his throat... So she can start pounding her fist onto the top of his head. ]
WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?! GET US DOWN!
no subject
I will get us both back down... as fast as possible! [Now using both hands! He starts scampering down the face of the cliff, fairly quickly!]
no subject
She's (somewhat) over it now though. ]
no subject
How do you feel currently, Bulma-san? Are you healthy?!
no subject
[ Her grip on him tightens, as she's probably imagining strangling the man. ]
no subject
no subject
[ She may just... Shake him a little to get him to comply. ]
You haven't known them as long as I have! They're always doing this! Well, this is the last time they leave me behind!
[ Yeah... no it's not. ]
no subject
But they are still doing this for the good of all?! You wish to join them in battle? [He didn't know Bulma had the skillz. Well, aside from her skillz of being terrifying.]
no subject
[ Not that she wouldn't jump in and slap the shit out of someone if they provoked her... ]
But, at least to cheer them on, or something. [ She sighs. Of course she's still angry, but more than anything else, she's just worried. ] They always fly off, and there's never any word on how they're doing until it's all over. We used to all be together in the thick of things... But now it's always too dangerous for anyone but a Saiyan.
no subject
But I am sorry to hear that overall, Bulma-san. It must be disheartening to be left behind so often. I cannot help you to fly, but I can help you to become stronger, if you would like. I can teach you to fight!
