THROW CAUTION TO THE WIND...and hit someone in the face with it

[rebelhood]

AWKWARD SITUATIONS MEME
Fall out of a tree and land on someone? Get drunk and hang off someone thinking they were someone else? Wake up in jail and can't remember how you got there? Take a dare to run naked through the streets and catch someone taking pictures?

We all know what it's like to be stuck in an awkward situation and now you are lucky enough to get stuck in that situation with someone else. Enjoy!

RULES

• Start a comment with your character's name, canon, and your preferences.
  
• Tag characters by RNGing/selecting a number between 1 and 12 for one of the prompts or just pick whichever one you like.
  
• Play out all of the awkward. Feel free to use any and all NPCs you need to make your situation work out.
  
• Profit!

PROMPTS
1. Dropping In - Falling down stairs, out of a tree, etc, and landing on or in front of someone. Falling on your face at someone's feet is always fun, right?

2. Eat and Meet - Spilling your coffee in that random person's lap, spitting out that bad sushi right in someone's face or onto their plate, coming out of the cake at that bachelor party and seeing someone you didn't expect, or maybe you got dragged on a date to a new restaurant serving foods you really don't want to eat. Food and awkward are age old friends.

3. Awkwardcalypse - The world is ending and it's too ridiculous to believe, but at least someone else is there with you. Yes those are alien tomatoes out to eat you and you should get out of there. Or maybe you're trying to outrun whatever plague is making people strip their clothes and run around naked. Are those zombies part of a musical about brains? Crazy is happening and you feel like the only sane person left.

4. The Morning After - You did something really stupid last night and you just ran into someone who may have seen you. Get drunk and cry all over a stranger? Moon a bus of people on a dare? Is this even the right person?

5. Put a Chain on It - You just got arrested and what more awkward kind of meeting is there than running into someone in the slammer?

6. Sticking With You - Trapped in an elevator, sinking in quicksand, tied together in a hostage situation, or accidentally pick up a leaking bottle of superglue at the store at the same time as someone else? Somehow you are now trapped together and need to figure out how to get yourselves out.

7. Turn Out The Lights - It's a black out and you're just trying to find a way out or get to the nearest light. Lots of awkward things can happen in the dark. Oops, that wasn't a doorknob you just grabbed.

8. Can You Hear Me Now? - Drunk calling the wrong number, sending sext messages to your best friend instead of your partner, lots of awkward things can happen over the phone, but at least you can't see each other while you're doing it.

9. Under the Influence - Had a little too much at that party, or maybe your prescription allergy medicine kicked in at the worst time, or you've just been hit by a curse where you can only speak in sexual innuendo. Something is influencing you and the situation is only getting more awkward from there.

10. Caught in the Act - It could be something completely innocent, but when that other person walks in, it looks like anything but. Maybe you're being a little naughty and public restrooms really aren't the place for that sort of thing. Or maybe you're on the run and need to drag someone in for a quick make-out session to throw your pursuers off your trail.

11. Double Dog Dare - You know you can't back down from a double dog dare! Even if it's the most ridiculous and unbelievable thing someone ever asked you to do. Like getting naked at the zoo and climbing into the penguin pool. You just hoped you could get away with no one else seeing you do it.

12. Mix and Match - Make up your own scenario or mix a few of the above prompts together for maximum awkward.

[ A space pirate on the run from a great empire that he'd recently betrayed just so happened to pass, and since the zangyack was hot on his tails, he didn't really think of anything else than grabbing hold of that girls waist and pulling her into a sudden deep kiss, her back to the direction he had come from, his own almost against a wall. Ignore those people looking like they're outer-space tin-can-men in spandex closing in. ]

[bendthekey]

[The lights had gone out and Toul had tripped over her own feet trying to find the wall. She bumped into what she thought to be a chair, hands stretched out. Knowing a light spell or two would come in really handy right now...

She has terrible vision in the dark so she'll be running into anything she come into--including people. Sorry, if she steps on any unsuspecting feet!]

6+7 if we say there are elevators?

[artificialflower]

[ Kanda does not like being in small spaces, especially with other people. And Miranda tends to be a pathetic kind of other people, so he's not making casual conversation while the elevator is going up (not that he would anyway. ]

[ Just. Folding his arms and waiting. And tapping his foot a little Come on, are we there yet? ]

[ Suddenly, there's a non-well meaning sound, and the elevator stops. The light flickers and goes out. Well. ]

Balls.

For the record, this is all your fault.

[There's no real heat in the words, really, as Kate struggles weakly against their restraints. She's been doing it on and off for - what, an hour now?

She's not sure where they are. Some place dark and dank and musty. No sharp edges to rub their ropes against. No windows so peer or shout through.

Worst of all, they're out of costume.]

[Seriously? Haruhi Suzumiya does not have time for this.

She's not paying any attention to the guy in the elevator with her. Nope. She's just hitting buttons on the door console, thinking that maybe she can get this thing moving with brute force and sheer will.]

The Tenth Doctor | Doctor Who | #1

[lonelygod]

[Well, talk about awkward. Yes indeed, awkward, most awkward. This red jacketed stranger that'd just come...screaming into the TARDIS was definitely making things awkward for the Doctor. No doubt about that. No doubt about that at all. Certainly not the first time, but he thought that after he'd sorted that mess with Donna it wouldn't happen again. No, no this just wouldn't do.

So he peered at the stranger, completely befuddled and utterly baffled, and asked the only question that seemed pertinent at the time.]

What?!

[ex_outofcontrol435]

[So he got a drunk and disorderly. And maybe assault. Probably property damage, too - it's all still coming clear in his head, but property damage is always a safe bet.

At least he won't have to use his one phone call; the Professor doubtlessly knows, and is plotting the most embarrassing possible pick-up with one of the team. John's been busted for sneaking out of the mansion before, but jail is a new one. That'll require a truly unique punishment.

He sits in a far corner of the holding cell, regarding the others who were picked up that night and haven't been bailed out yet. Most of them look like regulars, but there's one guy who looks about his age and - well, about like the least likely person ever to appear in a jail cell. He arches his eyebrows in amusement, wondering what kind of story that one's got to tell.]

[All the cool criminals get hung from lampposts by Batman. This is totally not a bad thing. This means he's cool.

Unfortunately it also means he's getting leg cramps.]

Hey! Hey, you there! Can you let me down?

Music Meister | Batman: The Brave and the Bold

[hypnotic_patter]

[Hopefully he can blame Batman for this.]

[raggedy_doll]

[That is very likely, since they've been left in a warehouse for the cops, dizzy and tied up back-to-back. The ropes are tied tightly, so that even Ragdoll can't just slip out of them; Meister is probably gagged.]

I can untie that with my teeth, if you'd like. [...He probably can, too.]

Bruce Banner: MCU

[zen_en_vert]

[Bruce is probably naked. Again. Although not necessarily, his life is blessed in many interesting ways.]

1 (1/2)

[ex_outofcontrol435]

[John knows how to walk. Really, he does. He's known how for many, many years now. One foot in front of the other, keep moving forward. Even in the hustle and bustle of the city, it's something he can manage.]

[Actually she can't think of a worse person to be trapped in a small room that doesn't seem to have any obvious openings with. Well, one opening; just big enough for air to get in, so they probably aren't going to suffocate to death, but.

[Why her? Why Hibari? How long will it take everyone else to realise they're both missing? Is he going to bite her to death first?!]

[Chrome is taking the maybe if I don't move, he won't see me tactic.]

[Usually, Derek was relatively adept at staying on his feet, provided that nobody had punched him, thrown him through a wall, or electrocuted him recently.

But alas, even the totally coolest of all alpha werewolves can only be infallible 99% of the time, and Derek, for all of his superfast werewolf senses and lightning reflexes, was as susceptible as the next person to the constant peril that is: falling up a flight of stairs.

His shins banged into the hard corners of the steps, and Derek landed hard, with his chin just resting on the top step. It was very uncool. Maybe if he just lay there and pretended it had been deliberate no one would notice...]

[wontturntofoam]

[Good Morning, Simon! I hope you were expecting to begin this day with Shrieky curled up in your bed, because that is exactly how this shit is going down. There's a growing patch of damp soaking the mattress around him, and your hat is lightly perched atop his head.

He looks absolutely content with this lot in life.]
