THE EXPLORATION MEME

Let's face it: We all have the urge to do a little exploration every now and then, right? Of course, in real life, we often don't have the option of going anywhere really interesting. Thank God for RP, right?

Okay, so standard set of rules:

1. Post your character/canon. Feel free to pre-set up your scenario if you want, or let someone else RNG it for you.
2. Respond to other posts. Roll two RNG rolls, one for the setting, one for the scenario. (Or don't, that's fine too.)
3. Get exploring! Who knows where you'll end up?
4. Oh, right, have fun. That's kind of an important one.

SETTINGS:

1. Abandoned Mansion: You know, the one at the edge of town, the one with all the creepy rumors? Yeah, there's no way THIS one can go wrong.

2. Factory: Nothing like a little urban exploration to get that blood pumping.

3. School: Seven mysteries of the school, sealed off portion of the building, piano heard playing in the middle of the night, yada yada yada. You know how that works.

4. A Forest: ...or are you just LOST? Go on, admit it. We won't tell anybody.

5. Military Base: We only hope it's an ABANDONED base, or else you have some 'splainin' to do.

6. A Cave: Let's go spelunking! Maybe there'll be a minecart scene.

7. An Ancient Ruin: With ancient secrets, and ancient traps, and ancient animal droppings. Ew.

8. A Dungeon: Not the whips and chains kind. Your standard RPG generi-dungeon. ...okay, we suppose whips and chains can feature if you WANT.

9. Office Building: Hopefully not the kind with those sentient elevators or something. And with fire escapes.

10. Shipwreck: Hope you brought your scuba-diving equipment! If you're in the first three slots of the party lineup, you WILL get wet.

11. Labyrinth: Follow the left wall. No, seriously. It works.

12. Wild Card: Pick one of the above, or make up your own not listed here.

SCENARIO:

1. Rumors: You hear there's a monster or a ghost of some sort hanging around there. But that can't be true, right?

2. You've Been Invited: Either from someone you know or a mysterious stranger, someone has invited you to this strange location. But what could they want?

3. Car Broke Down: Maybe somebody lives over there, honey! ...hahahaha.

4. Hunter/Hunted: Something's been following you. Maybe you can lose them in this place somewhere. Or maybe the danger's actually just gotten worse.

5. It's a Secret to Everybody: You figure you can make a hangout here. Or maybe you and a special someone want somewhere exciting and private to do your thang. Who knows.

6. Where am I?: You just woke up here. You don't remember how you got here. And you have no idea how to get out. Guess you'd better find out.

7. A Prank: Those jerks thought it'd be real funny if they locked you in this place, or ditched you, or whatever. Let's see how much they'll be laughing when you're DEAD. ...or let's not, shall we?

8. Drawn to this Place: You're not sure why, but you're suddenly finding yourself attracted to this place. Something here is calling to you...

9. Treasure!: You hear there's a fantastic treasure somewhere in this place! If you find it, you'll be rich! ...IF.

10. Surveying: You need to check this place out for whatever reason. Research? Surveying? Mapping? Who knows, but it's a perfectly legitimate reason.

11. Someone to Find: Someone you know is supposed to have come here, but they haven't come back yet. Surely they're still alive somewhere in here, but there's only one way to find out.

12. Adventure Time: Who needs a reason when you got an adventure? #yolo
