t h e   TRAPPED TOGETHER   m e m e
(expanded edition; originally from memebells @ lj)





Ever wanted to tag a character yours has no good reason to know? Ever wanted your character to be forced to interact with someone they're supposed to hate? Now's your chance!

You character has been trapped somewhere-- and they're not alone. Pick the scenario(s) and genre(s) you're open to, and post with your choices and character's information in the subject line. Use the random number generator or your own discretion to reply to others' posts.



SCENARIOS:

1. TRAPPED IN AN ELEVATOR The old standby. You're stuck until someone can rescue you, or until one or both of you can get this box moving again.

2. TRAPPED IN AN UNDERGROUND BUNKER Maybe there's a nuclear winter, or maybe you were just exploring and wandered in here. Either way? Right now, you're stuck.

3. TRAPPED IN A CAR You were driving long-distance when your ride broke down, so now you're stuck in the middle of nowhere until else someone happens by.

4. TRAPPED IN A MALL AFTER HOURS Somehow, you managed to get stuck in the mall after closing. Maybe you fell asleep in the bathroom, or were hiding in the back of the bookstore, but now the doors are locked, and you've got the whole place almost to yourself.

5. TRAPPED IN A MAZE Entering that maze seemed like such a good idea, didn't it? Only now you can't find your way out, and you're pretty sure you're not alone in here...

6. TRAPPED ON AN ISLAND You should have known better than to trust any three hour cruise or any last minute flight over the ocean. In the chaos you've gotten stuck on a different island from the rest of the survivors (there are others, right?), but you'll probably still be close enough for rescuers to find you if you build a big enough fire. At least you have the island to yourselves... don't you?

7. TRAPPED IN THE WILDERNESS It was a great idea to go trekking out into the wilderness until you got separated from the group you were on, or you lost your map in a mad escape from something... unfortunate. If you're lucky there's a cabin to stay in. If you're less lucky, one of you brought a tent. If not... then you better get trekking home in a hurry. There're animals out there, you know.

8. OTHER/COMBO Any other scenarios that tickle your fancy.

GENRES:

i. Survival Horror

[Smirking, because cranky blondes he can deal with. He's more than used to your type.]

And did you ever consider that I might simply be waiting for you to ask me nicely?

[ilove_atallman]

Oh. Okay.

[she steps right to the edge of the trap, and her eyes go completely black.]

Let me out, and I won't use your guts to decorate the place.

[asuma]

[What a neat trick. Klaus has his own version.]

There now, that wasn't so hard.

[ilove_atallman]

[grits her teeth]

So are you just gonna stand there?

[asuma]

[Such a peach. Klaus doesn't look to be in any sort of hurry, but he glances around in some half-assed effort to look for something he might be able to use to break the seal.]

I'm afraid it's a little out of my reach.

[ilove_atallman]

[Ruby is really starting to get sick of this guy. It shows in the way the ground starts to rumble under them, and the floor of the bunker cracks.

But she's not going to lose her cool just yet, so she manages to press it down and return things to equilibrium.]

You're really not doing yourself any favors.

[asuma]

[Look at that, she's not entirely useless in there. But Klaus will put forth just enough initiative to make it look like he actually has some intention to follow through.

He breaks away to walk over toward the door in the room, and with a sharp twist he manages to snap off the rusted metal bar that's meant to be turned and seal the door from the inside.]

I don't typically make a habit of helping others, you know. [Said as he starts back toward her.] Not without good reason, anyway.

[ilove_atallman]

[Neither does Ruby, but that doesn't mean she can't be offended when people don't do it for her.]

What do you want, then?

[asuma]

I'm sure that we'll be able to come up with something eventually.

[He takes a few steps backward, eyes glancing up to the seal above her head. With no small amount of force, the rusted metal door piece is flung at the markings, effectively breaking them and any magic they were sustaining while taking out a few chunks of ceiling in the process.

Yeah apparently he is dumb/overconfident enough to leap before he looks--or even negotiate some sort of agreement before letting her out of her prison. Then again, he doesn't exactly trust that her word will mean much. His doesn't.]

You owe me one, after all.

[ilove_atallman]

[Yep, Klaus. Really, really dumb. Because once the trap is broken, all you'll get is a smirk out of Ruby before she uses her demon powers to pin you to the far wall of the bunker.]

Mmmkay. My turn to talk now.

[asuma]

[Well, that was rude. Not entirely unexpected given her attitude prior to his going out of his way, but rude nonetheless.

Klaus it still under the impression that she's some sort of witch. He's dealt with witches before, and it isn't like he can be killed.

Still, he's not a fan of being tossed about. Was that really necessary?]

I take it gratitude isn't one of your finer qualities.

[ilove_atallman]

Uh uh uh. My turn.

[she stalks out of the trap, kicking the debris to the side.]

I don't like debt. Well, I like it being owed to me, I don't like owing it. So why don't you tell me what you want, so I can pay it.

[asuma]

I want the doppleganger.

[Yeah I guess he just assumes that Ruby will know what he's talking about here. Because there's only one obviously.]

The only problem is that she has friends who will stop at nothing to keep her out of my reach--including one who happens to be a very powerful witch harboring a particular hatred toward me.

And since you seem to be quite the powerful witch yourself, well ... it would only make sense that you might be able to help me out with that particular problem.

[ilove_atallman]

[and then she laughs. because he thinks she's a witch. that's almost cute.]

You have no idea what I am, do you?

[asuma]

[He's not such a fan of being laughed at, but seeing as how he's currently pinned to a wall he supposes he's willing to let as much slide for the time being.]

It was a shot in the dark. [Considering she only really seemed to fit into one of three supernatural categories with which he was familiar, it seemed like a decent guess.]

[ilove_atallman]

I'm not a witch. I'm a demon.

[but demons always make sure people get what they're owed.]

But I'll get you your doppelganger. Just hope that the witch doesn't get in my way too much.

[asuma]

Is that right. [He wasn't even aware demons existed, but he's not going to sit there and fanboy her or anything. He wanted to be let down before he sung her praises.]

Well, I don't particularly care what you do to the witch, but I'd like my doppleganger unharmed. [A beat.] Reasonably so, in any case.

[ilove_atallman]

Fine. She'll be all in one piece.

[head tips]

Which doppelganger are you looking for?

[asuma]

And breathing, I presume. [Klaus may not be familiar with demons in the sense that he has never actually interacted with one, but he wanted to be very clear about Elena being alive and well when she is turned over to him.

But then her question catches him off guard. Which doppleganger? There were more than one? Assuming there were, he wondered if he would be able to use any of them to create his hybrids. It might be worth looking into later, but for now he would stick with the sure thing.]

The current Petrova doppleganger. Elena Gilbert.

[ilove_atallman]

[Did he think his mother was the only person who's done major magic? Most spells that altered the world as they know it had doppelgangers attached. But given that he was looking for that specific line ... ]

You must be Klaus.

[asuma]

[He'll perk at the mention of his name. As if his ego weren't already inflated enough on its own.]

Heard of me, I see. I suppose it spares us both the long-winded explanation as to why.

[ilove_atallman]

Notoriety isn't all it's cracked up to be.

[asuma]

Said the demon.

[ilove_atallman]

And if I told you my name was Ruby, then what would you say?

[asuma]

What a lovely name. Point taken.
