the UTTER CHAOS meme



Quick! Run! Hide! Scream! Flail uselessly! That's about all you'll be able to do against... whatever we're all afraid of. Um. What was that, again? Well, nevermind, it's scary anyway.

If you're a character in this meme, you have suddenly found yourself amidst a group of people, all of whom are panicking about... something. For the moment, it's not immediately obvious what that something is, but it seems like they all know something you don't. Maybe there's a tornado coming. Maybe there's a sudden flea infestation and you just haven't gotten swarmed yet. Maybe Cthulhu is just around the corner. Maybe everyone but you is mind controlled and trying to get away from crazy delusions of aliens landing and all singing Nyan cat in about fifteen different keys.

Or maybe it's all just a false alarm that's gotten out of control. But can you really afford to assume that?

Will you join in the flailing, try to snoop out the root cause, or be the one trying to get everyone else to just calm down already?

Rules
1. Your character will run into other characters in the midst of the panic.
2. Write the reason for panicking in the subject line, or label it as open for responders to make up. (Or leave everyone clueless, that works, too!)
3. ?????
4. CHAOS!!!!! And, you know, profit.

Just remember, when in doubt,
run in circles, scream and shout!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!

I bet it will! They'll be so surprised!

[And, she hopes, impressed. Not because she made the medal, but because she really wants things to get better for Ralph.]

[wreckingduty]

They really will! They didn't think I could earn a medal, but I did!

[tooshytofly]

I hope it lives up to the medals in your game...

[wreckingduty]

Trust me, this is the best medal I've ever seen! Sure, Felix may have more, but none of them are homemade.

[tooshytofly]

You really think so? That's the first medal I've ever made...

[wreckingduty]

Well, it's the first medal I've ever gotten, so I definitely think it's great!

[tooshytofly]

It's been a first for both of us! I do hope they like it back in your game.

[wreckingduty]

[Ralph grins.] I'm sure they will! Well, at least Felix will like it, and if he does, then everybody else will too!

[tooshytofly]

That's great!

[wreckingduty]

[Ralph nods.] I guess after I finish this cake I should probably head on back... I've been gone longer than I meant to be, I thought it'd be a simple thing to get a medal, but, boy was I wrong.

[tooshytofly]

[Fluttershy nods.]

And you can come back anytime you like! Or...or I could maybe visit your game, if that's all right?

[wreckingduty]

Thanks! And yeah, I wouldn't mind it at all, and the Nicelanders would probably take a liking to you.

My home's not much, but you're welcome to stop by anytime you want.

[tooshytofly]

Oh, that's very kind of you! If I go exploring other games again, it'll be nice to know I'm going where I have a friend.

[wreckingduty]

[Ralph smiles.] Yeah, you and your friends will be more than welcome if you decide to visit. I live over at Fix-It Felix Jr., it's an older game, but it still stays popular with the gamers.

[tooshytofly]

We'll be sure to drop by! I'm sure Pinkie would even bring a cake!

[wreckingduty]

Well, if you're gonna bring a cake, then I'm definitely looking forward to your visit!

[tooshytofly]

I'm looking forward to it, too!

[wreckingduty]

[Ralph chuckles.] I'll have to keep an ear out and let you know next time the Nicelanders are gonna throw a party, because they sure know how to throw a party.

[tooshytofly]

If they need any help with the music, let me know! There's a very nice songbird chorus here that could provide the music.

[wreckingduty]

[He grins.] I will! It'll be better than some of the stuff they play.

Sometimes they enjoy certain songs a little too much, they need a bit more variety in their lives.

[tooshytofly]

Oh, the birds know so many beautiful songs, I'm sure they could sing something to fit anypony's tastes! We'll definitely give you some variety!

[wreckingduty]

I like the sound of that! We can show them how to throw a real party!

[tooshytofly]

And we can show them not to leave anypony out of their parties, too!

[wreckingduty]

[Ralph nods.] Right! There's ways to include everyone, you just have to be creative!

[tooshytofly]

Exactly!
