THE DARING RESCUE MEME


★ HOW DOES IT WORK?
1. Post as your character, listing any preferences you'd like respected.
2. The rescuer replies. They can select the scenario, or they can leave it to you to do it.
3. Whoever's doing the picking hits up the Random Number Generator for two numbers: one between 1 and 8, representing who the first character is being rescued from, and one between 1 and 5, representing the reason for the rescue.
4. Alternately, make up your own scenario if you want.
5. Play it out! You can play out the rescue itself if you want, or just the aftermath--or both.
6. Make sure you take note of any preferences a player might have and warn for triggers in the subject line if they crop up.
7. Have fun and make sure you swoon properly!

★★ WHO ARE YOU RESCUING THEM FROM?
1] Their greatest enemy. For whatever the reason, the character's greatest enemy has finally made a move and taken them captive. Who knows what they plan to do to the poor character? Good thing you've come to save them.
2] Your greatest enemy. Your own enemy has decided to make a move against you--but not directly. They've taken this character hostage instead. Show them who's boss and rescue the victim!
3] Natural disaster. Come hell or high water, you'll save the character...and, in fact, it has come hell (in the form of fire, maybe) or high water (perhaps a flood?). Or something like that. Whatever. The point is, nature itself has it out for the character, and it's up to you to save them.
4] Wild animals. Stephen Colbert was right: bears are the number one threat. Or maybe lions. Make sure the character doesn't become dinner.
5] Supernatural forces. Actually, it's dragons. Or evil wizards. Or demons. Take your pick, just so long as you rescue the character from them.
6] Pirates. Just what the pirates intend to do with this character might be a mystery--could be they'll walk the plank, or worse. Time to pluck them from the hook-hands of danger.
7] Vice. The character has sunken into dissolution, perhaps out of despair or maybe from sheer uncontrollable self-indulgence. You're the only one who can step in and give them a new lease on life.
8] Their own bad judgment. The character is committed to a truly terrible course of action. Fortunately, you're here to make them see reason...one way or another.

★★★ WHY ARE YOU RESCUING THEM?
1] Love. The fairy tales have it right. It's true love that spurs the knight to rescue his fair maiden...or vice versa.
2] Friendship. It's not always about kisses and ravishing, you know. Sometimes, you've just gotta look out for friends and family, no matter what sticky situations they get themselves into.
3] Rivalry. Only you're allowed to dish it out to the character! Better make sure no one else gets in your way.
4] Debt. The character owes you, in one way or another. They don't think they can get off easy, do they?
5] Money. Plain and simple: you were hired for the task. It's nothing personal, just business.

Femme Dr. Kiriko || Black Jack

[rhododendronic]

4 + 4 = I am screaming

[lifes_expensive]

[Dingos.]

[A huge pack of ravenous, rabies infected, flea-bitten dingos has decided that Kiriko looks pretty tasty. Black Jack could leave her here for the wild dogs to munch upon while she gloats about it, but then she wouldn't be able to collect on her, ahem, "debt".]

[Damn. And it would have been so much fun to watch.]

Don't make any sudden movements, or I might hit you instead.

YES

[rhododendronic]

[The many times Kiriko slept outdoors, she had not had too many encounters with dangerous wild animals, surprisingly. The Doctor had been more vigilant in her younger days, jumping at every twig snap and shadow and rustle, but familiarity with the sounds of night (and even the day) had made her too comfortable.

She was lucky Black Jack had come to her rescue, because she was grossly lacking in scalpel-shuriken skills. The gun Kiriko kept on her was unloaded and therefore human-use only. In other words, she would have been dog food by now.

Breath held, Kiriko stares at Black Jack, more terrified than she had been in awhile. This was a lot of dogs. There was no way she'd save her in time...]

Black Jack...

[lifes_expensive]

I'm taking care of it!

[She's only got so many scalples on her person at the moment, so every throw has got to count. A few go down here and there with high pitched yelps or bitten off barks, but the general population seems pretty intent on their current victim.]

Can't you do anything to help?!

[rhododendronic]

Yeah, let me wave my magic wand of death and make them all drop dead! What the hell do you suggest?!

[Oh shit, oh shit, they're getting closer now... Suddenly remembering she has a lighter in her pocket, Kiriko slowly reaches to grab a small stick off the ground and sets it on fire. The flame it produces is hardly anything scary at all... but if Black Jack runs out of time, Kiriko can drop the flame and let the dry grass catch fire at her feet, as dangerous as it could be...]

Hurry up...!

[lifes_expensive]

Oh, I'm sorry Miss Reaper, I thought it was your job to kill things!

[Black Jack's only trying to not have you get bitten and get rabies and go crazy-er and die. And a dead Kiriko is not nearly as entertaining as a live one. At least the number of dogs seems to be thinning out a bit-]

[...oh damn, she's run out of sharp pointy things to throw. Rocks! There has to be rocks or something that she can toss to distract them. Okay. No rocks. Bottles of antibiotics? We can work with that.]

[Except bottles don't kill dingos; bottles thrown at their heads only piss them off and cause a few of them to find a new target to potential nom on.]

Shit-!

[rhododendronic]

[No, you idiot! Why did you do that?! Stupid! Stupid...!]

Black Jack!

[And there it goes, without concern for herself Kiriko drops the fiery stick. The dry grass immediately starts a bushfire, and while the dogs don't run away, they back off long enough for Kiriko to find an opening... And, thanks to many of the dogs being incapacitated by flying surgical knives, she does.

The Death Doctor runs as fast as she can over to Black Jack, and with an adrenaline-boosted kick with her four-inch heel, nails one of the offending dogs in the side of the head.

Wow, look at that. That was a good kick. She should do that more often.]

[lifes_expensive]

[Holy shit she set the grass on fire-]

[Holy shit did she just kick that dingo's head in?!]

[Congratulations Kiriko, your badass meter just went up slightly. Too bad that alone doesn't prevent them from becoming puppy chow. And now we proceed with Plan D which would have been Plan A if Black Jack had been alone but the situation has obviously proved otherwise. She grabs the other woman by the hand and wrenches her along.]

Run!
