t h e TRAPPED TOGETHER m e m e(expanded edition; originally from memebells @ lj)

Ever wanted to tag a character yours has no good reason to know? Ever wanted your character to be forced to interact with someone they're supposed to hate? Now's your chance!

You character has been trapped somewhere-- and they're not alone. Pick the scenario(s) and genre(s) you're open to, and post with your choices and character's information in the subject line. Use the random number generator or your own discretion to reply to others' posts.

SCENARIOS:

1. TRAPPED IN AN ELEVATOR The old standby. You're stuck until someone can rescue you, or until one or both of you can get this box moving again.

2. TRAPPED IN AN UNDERGROUND BUNKER Maybe there's a nuclear winter, or maybe you were just exploring and wandered in here. Either way? Right now, you're stuck.

3. TRAPPED IN A CAR You were driving long-distance when your ride broke down, so now you're stuck in the middle of nowhere until else someone happens by.

4. TRAPPED IN A MALL AFTER HOURS Somehow, you managed to get stuck in the mall after closing. Maybe you fell asleep in the bathroom, or were hiding in the back of the bookstore, but now the doors are locked, and you've got the whole place almost to yourself.

5. TRAPPED IN A MAZE Entering that maze seemed like such a good idea, didn't it? Only now you can't find your way out, and you're pretty sure you're not alone in here...

6. TRAPPED ON AN ISLAND You should have known better than to trust any three hour cruise or any last minute flight over the ocean. In the chaos you've gotten stuck on a different island from the rest of the survivors (there are others, right?), but you'll probably still be close enough for rescuers to find you if you build a big enough fire. At least you have the island to yourselves... don't you?

7. TRAPPED IN THE WILDERNESS It was a great idea to go trekking out into the wilderness until you got separated from the group you were on, or you lost your map in a mad escape from something... unfortunate. If you're lucky there's a cabin to stay in. If you're less lucky, one of you brought a tent. If not... then you better get trekking home in a hurry. There're animals out there, you know.

8. OTHER/COMBO Any other scenarios that tickle your fancy.

GENRES:

i. Survival Horror
ii. Smut
iii. Gen

[ April leaned on against the wall of the elevator, staring at the cat a moment before she bent to scratch him behind the ears. ]

Sorry, fella. They'll just be a moment. [ if it weren't for the cat, she'd just escape out the hatch, but all in good time. She wasn't expected anywhere. ]

[She doesn't recognize him. Good. That makes this easier. All he has to do is pretend to be a real cat.

He butts his head against her hand and purrs loudly. It's all just a show, really... Oh yes right there!]

[ her lips turned up slightly at the obvious pleasure the cat's contriving from her fingers. So much different then herself but such is the life of a cat.

Working her away around his ear, she scratched down his back to tug at his collar, trying to get a glimpse. ] Let's see now, do you have a name?

[No tag, only the bell which hides his radio. Mao tenses uncomfortably as her fingers approach it. If she manages to knock it loose, he's SOL.]

[ knock it loose, hm? Of course not. They're just the most gentle fingers as she feels around his fur, letting the bell jingle lightly as she runs over it. ]

Hmm... no name? [ tsk ] I guess you're coming with me then. There's not much, but I do have tuna.

[ and maybe she should have a small bite of breakfast herself. A night of drinking on the town always works up an appetite. If she could be bothered to eat. ]

[Shit. Damn it, Hei! Get moving! Mao can't afford to be dragged along with her, but if he struggles too much, he risks breaking his cover.]
