Entry tags:

And trouble came walking in...

-Post with your character and fandom, as well as any preferences.
-Go here and generate a random number between 1-10 for the setting
-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, the area's been sectioned off for officers to investigate this nefarious deed, and you're getting front row seat.

2. Bar: There's always some hole-in-the-wall frequented by all sorts. The bartender keeps an eye out for trouble, and other things. Of course he keeps an ear to the ground, but it'll cost ya. Perhaps a cop or two will show up demanding answers, 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

Eh, I wouldn't worry about it. I don't have any guts to bust.

[The guy seemed to have a sense of humor. Or, at least, what could pass for one. Sans glances up the mirror himself, particularly eying Frank's cigarette. He then reaches into his jacket pocket and pulls up a cigarette himself... and bites into it.

Chalk candy. Go figure. Between him and his brother, they were well known for shenanigans. Sans himself ripped people off with childish pranks too ridiculous for the police to believe. Either that, or the idiot in question didn't want to admit they got swindled by a skeleton who put typhas in a buns and called them hot dogs.

Compared to Papyrus, however, there were rumors that Sans could be a lot more dangerous than he came off. It was pretty hard to believe for most, but hey. Rumors, right?]


I got a feeling this ain't your usual scene.

[Frank doesn't bother himself with petty thieves or the poor saps out on the street just trying to make a half honest buck. His only concerns are with violent crime, and as suspicious as the small skeleton next to him is-- hell, as obnoxious as he is, he has no reason to plug him. Not yet, anyway.]

You know, I got a feeling you're right.

[There's more familiarity in stopping by a diner, sitting by the window alone and drinking coffee while the city in all its colors passes him by. Frank only shows up in clubs and bars when he's at work, and it's work that doesn't require company.]

Got a feeling you ain't over here for a social call, either.

[Made sense. Sans wouldn't know this guy's life, but something about him didn't seem like the type who hung out in nightclubs for fun.]

You'd be feeling right. Hey, bartender.

[Despite the crack from before, Sans puts a time-out on the conversation to call order "the usual". As the man behind the counter nods and walks away, Sans returns his sideway glance to Frank.]

I heard somebody's been lookin' into my brother. Somebody people call the "Punisher". Apparently, he looks an awful lot like you.
