Lets Get Awkward
AWKWARD SITUATIONS MEME
Fall out of a tree and land on someone? Get drunk and hang off a someone thinking they were someone else? Wake up in jail and can't remember how you got there? Take a dare to run naked through the streets and catch someone taking pictures?
We all know what it's like to be stuck in an awkward situation and now you are lucky enough to get stuck in that situation with someone else. Enjoy!
RULES
- Start a comment with your character's name, canon, and your preferences.
- Tag characters by RNGing/selecting a number between 1 and 12 for one of the prompts or just pick whichever one you like.
- Play out all of the awkward. Feel free to use any and all NPCs you need to make your situation work out.
- Profit!
PROMPTS
1. Dropping In - Falling down stairs, out of a tree, etc, and landing on or in front of someone. Falling on your face at someone's feet is always fun, right?
2. Eat and Meet - Spilling your coffee in that random person's lap, spitting out that bad sushi right in someone's face or onto their plate, coming out of the cake at that bachelor party and seeing someone you didn't expect, or maybe you got dragged on a date to a new restaurant serving foods you really don't want to eat. Food and awkward are age old friends.
3. Awkwardcalypse - The world is ending and it's too ridiculous to believe, but at least someone else is there with you. Yes those are alien tomatoes out to eat you and you should get out of there. Or maybe you're trying to outrun whatever plague is making people strip their clothes and run around naked. Are those zombies part of a musical about brains? Crazy is happening and you feel like the only sane person left.
4. The Morning After - You did something really stupid last night and you just ran into someone who may have seen you. Get drunk and cry all over a stranger? Moon a bus of people on a dare? Sneak out after some one-night stand before they woke up? Is this even the right person?
5. Put a Chain on It - You just got arrested and what more awkward kind of meeting is there than running into someone in the slammer?
6. Sticking With You - Trapped in an elevator, sinking in quicksand, tied together in a hostage situation, or accidentally pick up a leaking bottle of superglue at the store at the same time as someone else? Somehow you are now trapped together and need to figure out how to get yourselves out.
7. Turn Out The Lights - It's a black out and you're just trying to find a way out or get to the nearest light. Lots of awkward things can happen in the dark. Oops, that wasn't a doorknob you just grabbed.
8. Can You Hear Me Now? - Drunk calling the wrong number, sending sext messages to your best friend instead of your partner, lots of awkward things can happen over the phone, but at least you can't see each other while you're doing it.
9. Under the Influence - Had a little too much at that party, or maybe you're prescription allergy medicine kicked in at the worst time, or you've just been hit by a curse where you can only speak in sexual innuendo. Something is influencing you and the situation is only getting more awkward from there.
10. Caught in the Act - It could be something completely innocent, but when that other person walks in, it looks like anything but. Maybe you're being a little naughty and public restrooms really aren't the place for that sort of thing. Or maybe you're on the run and need to drag someone in for a quick make-out session to throw your pursuers off your trail.
11. Double Dog Dare - You know you can't back down from a double dog dare! Even if it's the most ridiculous and unbelievable thing someone ever asked you to do. You just hoped you could get away with no one else seeing you do it.
12. Mix and Match - Make up your own scenario or mix a few of the above prompts together for maximum awkward!

RNG said 5...
She supposed it could have been worse. Maybe. Sharing a cell with a cute, nerdy guy could be a highlight. "I'd ask if you've been here often, but that line really doesn't work in this sitch."
no subject
The cops couldn't prove he was doing anything, but because of the gunshots (which he'd been stopping, thanks) they took him in anyway. If they couldn't pin anything on him - which they couldn't, he let them take their swabs but they wouldn't find any gun residue - he'd be released the following morning. So, a whole night in the slammer. And he so wasn't calling his Aunt.
"Depends on the type of guy you're going for." Peter turned his head to look at her, glasses askew on his face. "But no, I guess I'll have to sign up for a punch card on my way out."
no subject
"I'm nowhere near desperate enough to pick up people in jail," she said, shaking her head. "Just try not to notice the smell. Otherwise, it isn't horrible. Middle of the week, so probably not too many drunks."
no subject
"Are you? A drunk, I mean." Peter asked, folding his arms behind his head.

The only problem was that it usually ended up making her look like a snitch of some kind. "I keep telling my boss things would go much smoother if I had a badge, but apparently they don't give those to drop-outs."

6 + IMPENDING 7
never had words been folded more gently into the knotted fuse of gokudera's heart. time had only polished its truth, its golden, gleaming wisdom. oh, how well he remembered how young they'd been when he'd first heard it! (last month.) what a wise and solemn-eyed look his boss had worn when he'd accepted them! (A-ACTUALLY?? I'M STILL FIFTEEN??? tsuna had yelped from just beneath the dinnertable, frothing with punctuation like a true leader. IT'S NOT EVEN MY BIRTHDAY, REBORN-SAN, AND WAIT, ARE YOU QUOTING SPIDER-MAN???)
but, early birthdays and costumed crusaders aside, the point remains: as tsuna gets older, as the world begins to take notice of the vongola's new heir, so does his chosen family accumulate the responsibility -- no, the dire and honorable need -- to forge new vongola territory in japan in his honor.
gokudera gets to the task first. given the riot of events that'd cropped up since he'd come to japan, he hasn't been keeping close track of local criminal elements and who keeps shit running. but a couple of well-picked fights this month's gotten the word around that there's a new player in town. just today, he'd received his very first tipoff: a local wholesaler had been dipping a toe into the smuggling business, by way of stuffing drugs into his grocery exports. this was big. this, gokudera decided, warranted Family Attention, and so vongola forces had been marshalled to attend --
or they should have been. but the lawnhead was either getting his head punched or mowed, the stupid cow would probably eat the drugs with his shitty infantile luck, and chrome and the biting bastard hadn't picked up his call at all. which leaves him now -- ]
Idiot, oi. What did I say about inhaling in here.
[ - in a dilapidated warehouse with its sole guard knocked out and abandoned by the door, stalking around beneath strings of cracked bulbs, stabbing open packages of meat and milk tea with a complete moron. ten crates down, ten stacks of crates to go.
this karma shit, gokudera thinks, had better pay off. ]
AMAZING tbh
well, the truth is, yamamoto had elected to tune out most of that, as very little of the explanation actually made any sense, and it could easily be answered in a cheery response of if you wanted to hang out, you could have just said so!, followed by bright laughter.
these are the facts: there's a rundown warehouse, its walls moldy, decay settling in slowly but surely; there's a guard that goes down with one quick strike, clean and efficient. there is nothing strange in the location, in the chain of events, not even in the set of instructions gokudera gives him, speaking under his breath even though there's... no one else around, but maybe it's for the mood!
a bag of flour makes a white cloud in the air when he rips it open, peering around it. ]
This is like playing hide-and-seek, isn't it? Except both of us are searching!
[ and it's more fun this way, too! a good example of team work, yamamoto thinks proudly, it seems gokudera has really taken the kid's constant reminders of working together to heart!
... though, now that he stops to think of it, he's not really sure how they will know when they find what they're looking for. oh, well! that just makes the game more exciting. ]
no subject
Did you listen to a single word I just said?
[ what if it's drugged flour??? ]
no subject
Of course! We're here to help Tsuna out!
[ ... that is the gist of it, and the part that really matters the most; the rest of this is just details. ]
Besides... wouldn't it be inconvenient to mix drugs with flour? You couldn't really separate them afterwards!
[ or... something. hey, it's not like he's an expert on smuggling drugs. ]
no subject
the silence lasts a little too long to be merely judgmental. his mind races. quick, if he were a drug-smuggling grocery fiend -- ]
. . . flour has a low dissolution rate, moron! [ smoothest cover ever. ] Quit looking at me -- if I finish my share before you, I'm leaving you here.
sorry for the delay! birthday shenanigans ate me up
during that long stretch of silence, he pays... exactly three percent attention to gokudera, devoting the rest of it to picking up and then promptly throwing away one pear, two cabbages and a loaf of bread wrapped in plastic. ]
Does it? [ or more accurately, a dissolution rate?? there may be some completely clueless laughter going on in here. ] But nothing happened, so it's alright! [ so never mind any dissolution rates, they're fine.
now, someone else would probably remark how it's gokudera who chose to jump on that crate and stare him down; instead, there's a grin and a flash in his eyes. ]
So it's a race? [ that. that is definitely his competition voice. ] Alright! I definitely won't lose!
