Rescue Me Meme

The Rescue Me Meme



'Cause, sometimes, you just can’t save yourself.


→ Post with your character’s name, canon, and any preferences in the subject line
→ Those tagging, go to RNG and roll for a number between one and ten.
→ Alternatively, just pick the choice you’re interested in most.

1. A Bad Date - You get a text, a phone call, or maybe you can just see the other person floundering on what clearly must be the worst date of their life. Time to step in and save the day.

2. Prison - Maybe they've been wrongly convicted, or maybe you're an accomplice. Either way, it's jailbreak. Maybe the guards will fall for the old 'wounded prisoner' technique.

3. Taken Hostage - They're being held at gunpoint, either for money or for fun. Maybe you can talk down their captors, or maybe you are a captor, secretly working to help them.

4. Abuse/Neglect - Your body is damaged, your suffering taken it's toll. You can't save yourself anymore. You're wounded, you're starving, maybe even dying. Someone, help.

5. Addiction - Just one more. Nothing bad will happen if you just get one more. Either way, you can't save yourself from this downward spiral. Someone else is going to have to help.

6. Yourself - One bad choice after another, your self-destructive tendencies are going to get the best of you unless someone steps in, quick, to save the day.

7. Climactic Situation - You're hovering over an active volcano, a pit of sharks, about to fall off a cliff. Whatever it is, you've only got precious seconds of life left.

8. Loneliness - You've been secluded, locked away, and the emptiness is overwhelming. You need company, or you might just drown.

9. Unwanted Social Function - A family reunion, your three o'clock board meeting, whatever it is, you desperately don't want to go. Hopefully your good buddy can come up with a distraction.

10. A Bad Romance - You're trapped in a relationship that's headed south, and you can't seem to get away from the other person. Looks like you need a helping hand, maybe a prince charming.

I could do many things. That doesn't necessarily mean I should. [Boops Al on the nose.]

[ He wrinkles his nose, mock-scowling. ] But I've offered to be your sweaty, well-muscled helper. I have dreams, Scorpius.
unyieldingebony: (marry me today)

[Now it's his turn to think about how cute his boyfriend is.] If you really want to, I suppose I can't rightly stop you. It may give your neighbors the wrong impression about me, though.

The impression that you've snagged yourself quite the catch and that he treats you as well as you deserve? [ Grinning. ] Fine, we can work together.
unyieldingebony: (what use is it to you)

[personal profile] unyieldingebony 2016-08-20 07:17 am (UTC)(link)
[Chuckles.] Well, it is true that I've snagged myself quite the catch. And he treats me very well. [Whether it's "as well as he deserves" or beyond that is a matter of opinion.]
whereagainst: (out of our fingertips)

[ Albus is so stubborn in his belief that Scorpius deserves the world, and they both know that arguing about it gets them nowhere. So he just kisses him once, lightly. ] Damn right I'm a catch that treats you well. I do my best.
unyieldingebony: (it don't do me any good)

/wraps this thread up in a bow

[Which is exactly why Scorpius didn't mention it, he knew it would lead nowhere good. He returns the kiss, beaming.]
