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?

1. 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.
2. 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
3. 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
4. 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.
5. 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!
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. Wild Card! – Don’t like any of the options given? Come up with your own scenario!

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

1. Extreme weather! - You're caught in a blizzard or a thunderstorm.
2. Searching for food/supplies!
3. Setting up a camp/shelter from the rain
4. Coming into contact with (possibly dangerous) locals/local wildlife
5. Calling for help
6. Trying to find a place with better signal
7. Just generally freaking out
8. Trying to come up with a plan
9. An obligatory smut option
10. Wild Card! – There are so many options and so many things you could do in this situation. Use your imagination!

[Small overview of this character - she's a 4th dimensional being (actually akin to a wild animal in her dimension) who ended up in ours via a summoning ritual and ate a lot of things to be able to either shapeshift to a wolfdog or a human.

Nothing smut related, please! Don't stick your dick in the higher dimensional being because that'll never end well.]

In space and 6

[glitchinthesystem]

[When he wanted to see space, this was not how he planned it to happen. Being stuck out in the middle of nowhere, bored out of his mind, and waiting for what seemed to be hours. The only good thing is the view. Inky blackness with tiny lights out in the distance, but that can only hold the attention of a teenager for so long.

He's holding a bouncy ball, sitting on a seat upside down, bouncing the ball off of the hull.]

Is it done yet? Or should we start deciding who we eat first?

Re: 6- elevator

[mercur]

[Great. He was stuck inside of an elevator with a man he didn't really like or trust. This was before he became an Avenger of sorts, helping the Avengers do what they did best; saving the world. Pietro sighed and crossed his arms to scowl slightly at the billionaire.]

Got any ideas to get us out of here, Stark?

I'm open to any option as well as cross-canon, cross-medium and assumed cr! I'm also willing to set up the scenario, just ask. Again, I'd appreciate anyone helping me voice test her!}

lets go with elevator and we'll see what happens next

[theonlydavestrider]

[Dave and Jade were wandering around a shopping mall. They walked around a lot, Jade was making him buy clothes (all ironic and cool tho, as he wouldn't have it any other way) and they were cracking jokes around. The shopping was a pretty big one. 5 floors, very wide, and they were currently on the second one.]

9-7ish...

[heismymission]

[The Avengers weren't the only ones on a mission to take out HYDRA. When the Winter Soldier gathered enough resources to feel prepared, when he got just enough memory back to recall a few coordinates, he set out on his own to do the same. He donned the armor HYDRA had provided him again, both for practical reasons and to show them that the weapon they created could destroy them just as easily as he had destroyed their enemies. He gathered enough weapons to take down about five bases. No one could say he didn't try hard enough.

He arrives at the HYDRA base the night he planned, after several days of some careful observation. The facility is underground, meaning there are only a few ways in and out, and he needs to be cautious in order to secure an entrance and an exit. Once he does that, though, he's confident enough in his skills and his memories of the place to move forward. So he goes in.

But when he first enters, he finds the first expected guards already dead--clean kills, something that wouldn't cause a scene and wouldn't alert the rest of the base to the assailant's presence. Although it makes him suspicious, he can appreciate the technique--and it's more HYDRA dead. He's already decided to take out this base, so even if it ends up being done before him, he'll move forward.

His own kills are probably not quite as clean and silent as the unknown intruder's, involving silenced gunshots, knife wounds, and some small amount of yelling on HYDRA's part. But he's efficient, and he's saving the louder methods for when he knows he can kill the rest quickly enough to prevent them from sending any messages. He takes a few hits, but it's nothing he can't push through.

Unfortunately, it's not very long before he feels the ground and building shaking violently around him. He stumbles briefly, knocked off balance as dust and small pieces of rubble fall into his hair, and he can only assume that means HYDRA has been alerted to an intruder's presence and has decided to take drastic measures. It's not the optimal situation, and it means he's very possibly lost his exits.

He hurries forward, wanting to make sure he can kill every agent in this base if he has to be trapped, and a flash of red hair catches his eye as he turns a corner. Without bothering to think, he aims the pistol in his hand and fires.]

[OOC: let me know if this is cool!]

pietro maximoff | mcu/aou

wildcard : zombie apocalypse

[chaotes]

[ The end of the world is here, and it comes not with a bang or a whimper, but news of a new disease that necrotizes and reanimates the dead into ravenous, mindless monsters out for the taste of living flesh. Everything crumbles all around them, governments toppled, civilisation as they knew it burning down to rubble and ash -- she can taste the fear and terror in the air, the screams of the dying and dead alike, and she could choke on it, the thoughts of the ones running for their lives, savage in their desperate need for survival.

Not all of them live, of course, but it doesn't matter; Wanda continues to hold his hand tightly, clinging to this important half of her soul because he is all she needs, and she knows, too, that he feels the same. Their hearts beat as one, harried as they flee and hide and fight, and Wanda has seen more horrors than she'd ever witnessed in her life. Pietro is lightning quick, but she fears for him all the same, because all it takes is a bite, and it makes her fight back all the fiercer, blood-crimson streaks leaving the zombies strewn all around them, what's left of brain matter oozing out of open skulls.

Her head aches, filled with the white noise of the living dead, and she tugs on him when they finally have a reprieve, her eyes on the darkening sky. They are both tiring, and they cannot last for long. ]

We have to rest. Find food.
