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.

[Geir should have known something was up when Odin willingly gave him Sleipnir for the mission.] I think we've passed that tree before. [At least, that's what he thinks, but they were all starting to look the same to him. He knew Jotunheim was a big realm, and Utgarda-Loki was a great illusionist but how hard was it to find his castle to ask about the recent upsurge in frost giant activity?]

[Odin doesn't give Sleipnir to people; Sleipnir is his own creature, his back is his own, and there's no tattoo across it that says PROPERTY OF ODIN ALLFATHER. If he hadn't been willing, there was no way in all the Nine Realms that he would have ended up with Geir, clopping around in the wilderness.

There are many trees we have passed before.

Going in circles? Not new for him. At all.]

[Geir let out an annoyed huff at Sleipnir's statement he had been raised in the mortal world with stories of the fast and slippy Sleipnir, who could be and find anywhere and made Ásbyrgi simply be letting a foot down on the ground. Which brought him to his next idea to pass the time.]

Hey Slip, can I ask you a question?

[There were a lot of stories about Sleipnir. There were a lot of stories about all of them, actually, but what was true and what wasn't was something he rarely addressed. Didn't have to, usually, considering where he made residence, but he didn't see any harm in being asked a question about being asked a question.

Of course, he was still his mother's child, still had that damn sense of humor, and so:

You just asked a question.

But he wouldn't leave it there, because he knew how aggravating that was.

Yes, certainly. Go on.]

[Geir slid his fingers through Sleipnir's hair as he thought back to when he first saw him. He had just turned fourteen and was camping in Ásbyrgi with his mortal mother and friends. When two grandsons of Fenrir's had tried to kill him and how Hugin and Munin had led him into the forest in an attempt to outrun them about how he tripped and found what he thought was an old rusted seax and used it to kill one of them only to be rescued by his father from the second one. He was snapped out of these thoughts by Sleipnir's first answer, which caused him to give a derisive snort but that was replaced by a small smile at his second answer.]

I thought that there was only one god of smartasses and that it was your mother. Can you tell me which stories are true, which are kind true and which are just made up?
