THE FIRST CONTACT MEME
Well, I guess it's more like 'The Establishing Diplomatic Relations Between Two Groups Meme' but that's less catchy as names go, I think.



...wait, no, not that one, it's a meme about the first meeting between two previously unknown cultures, commonly used for humans meeting extraterrestrials. Exciting stuff.

• Are you two comrades warily expecting the arrival of ambassadors from the planet of the talking hamsters? Are you from two different cultures? Are you from two different species, or even two different games and are awkwardly establishing diplomatic relations between, I don't know, Cape and Cowl and Paradisa? Is this one of those tragic moments of miscommunication in which you believe that you're meeting extraterrestrials and they're actually dudes from the next city over who hijacked a spaceship through hilarious in retrospect antics?
  
  I dunno, man, it's up to you. In case you're going "Gosh, I'd love to tag so-and-so, but I have no idea what to tag with!" here's the...well, RNG. You should know the drill by now.
  
  (In the event that both characters are from the same canon but you feel like RNGing it up, feel free to fub and change it to the plural you or you both.)
  
  1) If you are currently in a game, you have found the way out. You found a loophole, an escape hatch, a pregnable point in the otherwise impregnable forcefield. Awesome. Unfortunately, you discovered fairly quickly that you just end up in another place without loopholes, escape hatches, or pregnable points in the otherwise impregnable forcefield. (In the event that you don't have a game, apply this to a canon situation accordingly: Kyon discovered that the bathroom stall door actually leads to Tatooine and bumps into one of the locals almost immediately.)
  
  2) You are playing the part of the majestic visitor coming down from on high to ask a favor from the natives, who hopefully speak the same language as you. Depending on who you are, this may or may not be faked to some extent.
  
  3) Tragically, five minutes after the dramatic first contact people from both sides were brutally killed due to a misunderstanding of some kind, and now you're stuck taking refuge in a playground while the skirmish erupts about you. You may or may not have company.
  
  4) First contact was made by a video game boss who now threatens your entire planet. Will you succumb to despair and weep as the clock ticks down, or will you band together with a plucky band of survivors and seek out the Seven Swords of Sealing and the Five Songs of Hope and defeat said boss in time?
