If you can't sleep, it isn't the coffee - it's the bunk

the film noir meme



-Pick out your character and fandom, as well as preferences.
-Go here and generate a random number between 1-10 for the setting
-Post all that.
-If you want, you or the person tagging you can roll a number between 1-8 for relationship as well!
- You know what to do next, honey.

Possible settings:

1. Crime Scene: Dead body? Burglary? Whatever the crime, it's been sectioned off for the officers to investigate this nefarious deed, and you're getting a good look at it.

2. Speakeasy: Prohibition's such a joke to society, and this is where the fashionable ones come to hang out and gossip. Perhaps a police officer or two will show up to investigate, but no one ever takes that seriously.

3. Docks at Night: The breeze caressing your face, the sound of the water, the boats passing by...maybe you were called here, or maybe you just like the peace it brings.

4. Alleyway: There's only one way in and out of this little corridor, and what happens in it is up to you and the other character. Just watch for the shadows, if you can see through the fog.

5. Detective's Office: Not too clean, not too messy. Just perfect for the person that's needed to get this mystery cleared up.

6. Rooftop: The wind dramatically blowing about, it's the perfect place to get that person to come and meet you so you can tell them what you want. Or if you're evil, why not kill them up here? It'll be hard to escape you.

7. Dressing Room: For some reason, you're backstage after a performance, and you've gotten into one of these. The mirrors, the costumes, the flowers from fans and the various personal affects...all are present and will be your silent witnesses to whatever occurs.

8. Hideout: You've gotten to the antagonist's spot of choice. Is this a glitzy nightclub with a private room, or is this an abandoned warehouse where they-or you-carry out their plot? The choice is yours.

9. Nightclub: Someone's showcasing their talent tonight, and you may or may not care about it. But it's classic, dimly lit, and it's easy to hide in here.

10. Free choice

Possible relationships:

1. Friends: Maybe you're an unstoppable team, or perhaps your relationship is getting strained. But whatever the situation, you know this person, and you'd be there for them.

2. Coworkers/teammates/classmates: You might not be friends, but you know this person well enough to remember their name. And right now you're being thrown together for a reason.

3. Lovers: This is the one you wanted to stay with for now. Married, dating, or maybe an affair, but you two care about each other enough.

4. Enemies: Utter hatred flows through your veins when you hear this person's name. This is the one you want to take down, and you just might stop at nothing to achieve your goal.

5. Family: Perhaps it's a sibling you're meeting. Or your parent, or some form of relative. Remember that phrase "blood is thicker than water"? It just might apply here.

6. Mysterious Stranger: Someone's been eyeing you from across the room, or you've been eyeing them. Will you two speak, or shall they float out of your life? Do they hold information you seek, or do they want something from you?

7. Femme Fatale: You are or have encountered a mysterious and seductive woman, whose charms ensnare her lovers in bonds of irresistible desire, often leading them into compromising, dangerous, and deadly situations. Watch out, you might just get yourself into a real mess of trouble, hot stuff.

8. Free Choice

[OOC: But Liv rather insisted. Timelines be damned. Though in your icon, Mary looks very much like a beautiful yet deadly vampire.]

As a child, Olivia had developed a keen talent for sticking her nose where it didn't belong. And over the years, it had served her well. How else where you supposed to find out anything in a family like the Crawleys -- where anything or any valued was whispered behind all too thick doors. No. To get ahead, one had to be willing to do whatever it took.

Which is how Liv found herself in an all to seedy nightclub, waiting for something that...she had no idea what it was. She just figured she'd know when she saw it.

Provided no one saw her first. After all, this wasn't exactly the kind of place a Crawley girl should be seen.

The older man across the room was well turned out in a dark coat, white shirt and dark pants. He stood watching the handsome man with an ancient gaze. Not much is known about him he just seemed to arrive and now he'd fixed Jack with his strange gaze. Only he knows why.

inspired by that one crane/rachel cop au we did

[personal profile] rattlesthecage 2015-04-21 11:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Sometimes there were cases the cops just couldn't solve. In Gotham City, that number was far higher than the national average. Between gang wars and the local crazies, there was far more crime than the police could solve themselves, especially since the Volstead Act had been passed, as there just weren't enough of them to monitor everything that came through the docks, and she was sure most of the beat cops were on the take from Falcone or Maroni anyway, and probably patronising their speakeasies as soon as their shifts ended - if not before. So when the chips were down, it was down to the few honest law enforcers in Gotham to get help from any place they could. And Rachel Dawes had learned that the best there was to find was Edward Nygma, Private Eye.

He'll see her approach, the silhouette of her brimmed hat and trenchcoat visible through the frosted glass of the door to his one room office just outside of downtown. She doesn't bother knocking, just opens the door and leans against the frame, arms folded across her chest, nodding to him in greeting.

"How's it going? Work steady?"

yes good
