the rescue meme

'Cause sometimes you just can’t save yourself.

→ Post with your character’s name, canon, and any preferences in the subject line
→ Those tagging, go to RNG and roll for a number between one and ten.
→ Alternatively, just pick the choice you’re interested in most.

1. BAD DATE - You get a text, a phone call, or maybe you can just see the other person floundering on what clearly must be the worst date of their life. Time to step in and save the day.

2. PRISON - Maybe they've been wrongly convicted, or maybe you're an accomplice. Either way, it's jailbreak time. Maybe the guards will fall for the old 'wounded prisoner' technique.

3. TAKEN HOSTAGE - They're being held at gunpoint, either for money or for fun. Maybe you can talk down their captors — or maybe you are a captor, secretly working to help them.

4. UNWELL - Your body is damaged, your suffering taken its toll. You can't save yourself anymore. You're wounded, you're starving, maybe even dying. Someone, help!

5. YOURSELF - One bad choice after another, your self-destructive tendencies are going to get the best of you unless someone steps in to save the day.

6. BIG DAMN RESCUE - You're hovering over an active volcano, a pit of sharks, about to fall off a cliff. Whatever it is, you've only got precious seconds of life left.

7. LONELINESS - You've been secluded, locked away, and the emptiness is overwhelming. You need company, or you might just drown.

8. UNWANTED SOCIAL FUNCTION - A family reunion, your three o'clock board meeting, whatever it is, you desperately don't want to go. Hopefully your good buddy can come up with a distraction.

9. BAD ROMANCE - You're trapped in a relationship that's headed south. Maybe it's an arranged marriage, or maybe it's just someone who won't take no for an answer. You need a helping hand, maybe even a Prince(ss) Charming.

10. WILDCARD - Any kind of rescue will do! Spread your creative wings and go for it.

[he fired off a small-gauge ballistic at the goop, and it thankfully yielded to force, freeing the kid and sending him plummeting to the mercy of his homemade bungee cord. Tony flew up to the roof and perched next to the gunk to get a closer look, patching Karen and Friday together via comms]

What exactly is the nature of this turbo-snot mistake I'm looking at here?

[ Peter acts not quite as quickly as he normally would have been able to, but he's able to swing over to the building he'd shot his web to and then use the wall to push himself back up the fire escape railing the slimy whatever it was, was on. He's not too close though, he'd really rather not get that stuff stuck on him again. ]

'I can't say...'

[ Karen's voice sounds as Peter watches the slime suspiciously. ]

'Earlier, it was showing signs of life, but it's unlike anything I have in my database.'

[ At least, for the moment, it doesn't seem too lively. ]

It just grabbed my ankle, Mr Stark! It really startled me because, usually my spideysense will warn me? I mean it went off but I didn't really know why until it had me.

...is it alien?

That's an ... extremely distinct possiblity to the fact that I'm proooobably gonna say yes.

[Tony's frown deepened behind the helmet as he considered the scans he was looking at, then scooped up a second sample, being careful not to let it touch the armor]

I think I'm gonna send some to Mr. Wizard too and see what he thinks. Loathe as I am to say it, he might have some ideas. For now, I'll get ... I dunno, somebody qualified out here to cordon bleu it off. You look like you could use some solid ground. And maybe shawarma.

Whoa.

If it hadn't attacked and tried to absorb me or whatever, I would totally think this is awesome. Actually, no. It's still pretty cool just kinda rude and-

[ There's a sharp sense of danger that hits fast and Peter lets out a yelp all the while barely managing to not get caught by the slime again as it seems to lunge for him. ]

[ Thank goodness for his near perfect equilibrium and ability to stick to things, or he might have just fallen off the railing. Instead, he goes off the side and catches himself or the bars of the railing, now parallel from the ground. ]

I think it likes me, Mr Stark. Or doesn't. I'm not really sure which.
