The "What Are You In For?" Meme

 

Somebody's in trouble! You've pissed off the authorities somehow - only you know what you did to get in this pickle, maybe you're even innocent! - but for now you're caught, and stuck waiting to hear what's in store for you. Luckily you have company...

 

HOW TO PLAY

1)   Go post with your character and list their Name/Canon/Preferences. 

2) Grab a d6 or an RNG an roll for (or simply choose)  one of the Authorities below to work with.

3) Go tag others! You can be partners in crime, strangers in trouble, or anything in between, and if you're stuck for an ice-breaker you can start the conversation by asking  "So, what are you in for?".

4) Make friends, make enemies, take your lumps or escape your punishment! You decide!

THE AUTHORITIES

1) POLICE  - You're in holding at the police station. Anything you could be arrested for goes! Perhaps you were drunk and disorderly, streaked at a sports game, started a fight, stole something, picked endangered flowers, hell maybe you were just in the wrong place at the wrong time, but whatever you did you're now stuck in a cell with some other troublemakers, so play nice!

2) MALL COPS - You started a food fight in the food court, shoplifted, got in argument with a clerk, ran up the down escalator, fell in the fountain after trying to fish out all the good luck coins, spent your afternoon reenacting this classic list - whatever it was you're now stuck waiting in the security office while the police are summoned. It's a busy day for mall shenanigans though because you aren't alone...

3) PARK SECURITY - Your day out at the amusement park just went sour. Maybe somebody cut in line and you had to teach them a lesson, you got lost and ended up in the backstage areas, your suit came off on the water slide and you accidentally flashed some people, the Disney park cast members didn't appreciate being invited to come in costume to your backyard orgy even though you made them a super-nice written invite and everything? You have time to kill until outside authorities come for you. Better get your story straight.

4) PRINCIPAL or BOSS'S OFFICE - If your muse is school-aged you're in crap with the head honcho! Perhaps you dodged class, were caught fighting or committing vandalism, mouthed off to a teacher, blew up part of the science lab? If your muse is a grownup they're in hot water at work! Missed a deadline or a meeting, messed up a task or upset a customer, got caught racing chairs instead of filing, were reported for misconduct involving the copy machine! Whatever it is you've got company while you await your fate...

5) AIRPORT / CUSTOMS - Did you really think you could get on a plane with all that stuff in your bag? All the explosives, the weapons, the foreign flora and fauna, the knitting needles, that whole BOTTLE of shampoo!? Obviously you got caught, obviously all your stuff is now being searched, but at least someone else is there to make small talk with while you wait...

6) WILDCARD - Your choice of the scenarios above or make up your own! As long as you are in trouble and killing time you're set!

[Jim is led into the holding cell by a craggy, gruff-looking man, grumbling gibberish about respect and chain of command. The lazy smile on his face etches itself even deeper when the guard harrumphs something about gum being forbidden; hands still cuffed behind his back, Jim obliges, spitting it into the man's hand, getting a tumble of incomprehensible muttering in return.

The same smile remains when Jim is led further in and uncuffed, though his eyes widen with delight; gently rubbing his wrists, he lounges on the metal bench bolted to the wall, tracing a small circle over the asylum-chic tile of the wall he's resting against.]

Oh no, Mr. Holmes. What have you done?

You don't understand! You need to let us out of here so that we can cleanse the world of that evil!

...They're not listening. Stupid pants-wearing fake pod-me is out there getting up to God-knows-what, and we're stuck cooling our heels in here!

[Samus had intended this to be a relatively quiet trip to lay low for awhile. Unfortunately one bar fight later (which, by the way, was totally not her fault. She was provoked!), the authorities got the best of her and she was here.

Man, she was slipping.

She eyes her various cellmates. One in particular caught her eye. He seemed fairly young to be stuck in this place. She quirks an eyebrow at him, but says nothing.]

[6. Wildcard: As it turns out, breaking laws to save the galaxy won't exempt you from sentences that you've racked up, which is exactly how this bounty hunter that usually operates outside the law ended up in Galactic Prison.

They didn't even give her a phone call. Not that she had anyone to call...

(OOC: Also totally open to any other roll too if you want something else :U)]

[Megan so did NOTHING wrong! She is only here because of species-based profiling, dammit! At least she has company in the cell...]

So...

[She drums her fingers anxiously on her knees.

What are you in for?

6 I'd probably say they're being held by like the government

[heartisabattleground]

[Well, locked in a cell, for carrying a giant key and wiping out heartless. You'd think they'd appreciate that, but nope, that gets you thrown in the slammer and under government surveillance.

He's hand cuffed behind his back, because they found that if they did it at the front he could just easily unlock the cuffs with his keyblade. So Sora is just sitting here with a giant statue, as the sun sets.]

[ Oh, for the love of -

Fox had managed to carry a very wide variety of guns through airport security before. And she wasn't even waiting here, in customs, because of a firearm. Tweezers. Eyebrow tweezers. Of all things.

Granted, even those, in her hands, could be a weapon and granted, her target should be arriving at the airport within the hour, but honestly. For all the things she could be put under unneeded scrutiny, it had to be that.

Her foot taps the floor in a clear rhythm of irritation, and she casts a slight glance at the woman seated beside her. While her glance is brief, it's calculating. There's a pinch of curiosity when she really can't determine really any hints as to what the other woman was sitting here for. So, though typically not the conversationist, she decides to give small talk a try. ] And what did they get you in for?

6 - That Nonhuman Rights protest got really out of hand.

[not_the_philistine]

[So out of hand that the Manhattan Clan felt obligated to intervene on behalf of the humans doing the protesting, and as a consequence of a lot of police shields broken and moving speeches delivered, most of the Manhattan Clan are in the process of having their rap sheets assembled.

Now the responsible thing for Goliath to do is take responsibility for, oh, countless things - the vigilantism, the food theft, the property damage - everything he's done for his city, for his clan, and on accident because it was there either to be thrown at a villain, or to throw a villain into.

So he sits in handcuffs that he could easily, irresponsibly break, alongside a few humans whose rap sheets also got a little longer in the process of that protest.]

[Come on, someone wants to drag him into some sort of trouble, right? He will sit here and be extremely grumpy about it. Because being grumpy is what he does.]

Some sort of "confusion" while undercover in the living world, perhaps?

[eighthlibrarian]

[Nanao was in a neatly dressed gigai, standing outside the cell, adjusting her glasses with the look more associated with handling Kyouraku-taichou. The what-happened-this-time-sir one.]

Of course I'll be doing my best to get you let out on bail, sir, but the reports are a tiny bit confused about what actually happened. I don't suppose you can give me anything to work with?

"So," said Zouichi, knocking on the cell bars. Why did they even have cells, anyway? Maybe criminals were far deadlier at the Space Mall.

"What happened this time? Did you punch out a policeman? Break an arcade machine?"

[It was bound to happen - with how crazy Percy's interactions seemed to be, right in public, face in the newspaper every time she turned around, Annabeth should have expected him to get caught.

Maybe she did.

Maybe she already had a plan in place for how to get him out of here. But for now? She had visiting rights. Like anyone would.]

It was about time they caught up to you, Seaweed Brain. How is life behind bars? [Don't mind her very subtley checking out the security and all things surrounding the cell he's in.]

[ this is nathan's fault, because it absolutely isn't nikki's. and she looks furious, though part of the anger is at herself, rather than nathan. these bloody powers never work when she needs them too. in the middle of an excellent fuck with curtis and she's whisked across town, but need to teleport away from incoming police officers? nothing. not a single flicker.

these powers were a joke.

but instead of dwelling, she levels a glare at nathan. ]

[The moment the Disney Park Police rolled up to him on their Segways, he knew he was busted. Trying to explain that he'd attacked Tigger and Donald Duck because they were demons and that taking out half of Tommorowland was a small price to pay for the lives of every mortal in the park, well, he knew better than that.

So, he's in trouble again. But like he's going to linger. The first opportunity he gets, he's bolting.]

[Well, it wasn't the first prison she's spent time in, and she was sure it wouldn't be the last. What was surprising was who they threw in with her. She had no doubt that she'd be running into the supposed king of Figaro again, but she wasn't expecting it to be so soon. After letting him and his crew free, Faris decided to do a little exploring on her own in South Figaro. In all fairness, the little pick pocket she picked a fight with on the street was asking for it when he tried to steal from her.]

[Lifting the scrap of wet cloth she was nursing a bruise on her cheek with, she gave her new roommate a lazy salute.]

You just can't keep yourself out of these kinda places huh?
