THE MAROONED MEME



When you're stranded. When there's no way out.

At least this you're not alone.

WHERE ARE YOU STRANDED?
1: Island. Surrounded by the ocean, shipwrecked on an island. Far away from any civilization.
2: Planet. Is it an uninhabited wasteland? A teeming forest, crammed with alien life forms? Does it have enough oxygen? Storms? Predators?
3: Moon/Asteroid. Low atmosphere, low gravity. You better hope that you have a survival pod where there's enough air and heat.
4: Adrift. A ship on the ocean; a power-dead space station; a skimmer floating through the levels of a gas giant.
5: Oasis. Not quite marooned in the same sense, but you're surrounded by empty desert, too far to cross. You might as well be trapped by the water of the oasis.
6: Cave. Again, not quite in the same sense, but something has left you trapped underground. Did you slide down a chasm? Suffer a cave-in? Either way, you're down here to stay, for the time being.
7: Other.

WHO'S WITH YOU?
1: A friend. You're in this together.
2: An enemy. Maybe war brought you both here, and war left you stranded behind. Could be that you're an enemy in a more mundane sense: school rivals, an assassin and her prey.
3: Strangers. You were both on that boat for vacation, and now you have to survive together.
4: A lover. Some honeymoon, huh?
5: Other. For any other variation.

WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?
1: Food and water.
2: Shelter. There's a storm coming. The nights are cold, here. Or do you just want a sense of security?
3: Communication. How can you get someone to come rescue you?
4: Predators. Something's trying to kill you
5: Escape. If you can just fix the ship
6: Each other. One more hour and you might kill each other.
7: Injury/Disease. One of you needs medical attention. Hopefully the other can muddle through.
8: Other. Any other problem you can think up!

[Harry rolls his eyes so hard he has to roll his whole head over in Jack's direction. Let the man feel superior, Harry was planning on exploring as soon as Jack was safely asleep and staying out of Harry's way.]

Keep talking and that dying in agony bit sounds more and more appealing.

[Truly, he knows that at some point he's going to have to pull up his big boy pirate boots, but he's either sulking for he sake of sulking or sulking to cover the worry over his friends.
It's probably the first one. It's not like he has feelings, right?

He sighs, long and dramatic.]

This, 'plan'. How much interacting with each other would it actually entail? [pls say minimal.]
