DIE HARD (ON A MEME)

You're in a closed location; either the exits are sealed or guarded or it is otherwise difficult to leave. It's filled with enemies, thieves, criminals, and/or armed mooks. There's probably hostages, too. No one from outside can get to you, at least not for a while.

But you're free. You evaded capture somehow. You might even have access to conveniently human-sized vents. Are you armed? Are you going want to try to stay out of reach or fight back? Is there someone you need to rescue or are you about to have an unlikely team-up?

Feel free to pick a role:
+ Protagonist: you're alone (you, or you and a partner) except for the enemy and hey, maybe you're not stuck here with them, they're stuck here with you. Time to sort this whole thing out.
+ Hostage: nothing wrong with being the character in distress sometimes. Are you dealing with the criminals? Getting rescued? Rescuing yourself?
+ the Baddie: you're not the one stuck in there with the criminals, you're the one running the show. Or maybe it's your secret villain base and it's been invaded by heroes, go ahead and flip the trope.
+ Mook: you're not even in charge enough to be the main bad but you can sure have fun!

And a setting:

1. DIE HARD, IN A BUILDING: office building is the classic, but feel free to have it be any kind of big building as long as there's a lot of rooms and hiding places and a way to keep the doors shut. Mall? Castle? Museum? Haunted opera house? Have fun.
2. DIE HARD, ON A BOAT (OR PLANE): hey, if it's a ship, boat, submarine ain't nobody getting on or off unless they want to drown. Spaceship? In space, no one can hear you call the cops. Plane? Put the bunny back in the box. Zeppelin? Careful where you fire that gun.
3. DIE HARD, ON A BUS (OR OTHER VEHICLE): Basically the same as the last one but there is a chance to just run and not fall to your death or drown. But if you do that, the hostages might be in trouble... which do you choose?
4. DIE HARD, OUTSIDE: technically you're not inside! But it's still somehow a closed location - small town with all the roads cut off, a mountain, a gated park, a zoo, etc. Unless you can fly, you're still stuck. But hey, at least there's sunlight! ...Unless it's raining.
5. DIE HARD, AT HOME: It's your house/castle/secret base/space ship and therefore your home territory, and these people have taken it over. How rude! But hey, if you want to combo Die Hard with Home Alone, now's your chance.

Post your preferences, tag around, get together, have a few laughs -- have fun.

Maria Hill | MCU

[standardprocedure]

[What is her life, really. Definitely the protagonist. OTA for gen; f/m for any kind of mid-fight flirting.]

alucard. hellsing.

[goneforawalk]

Korra | Legend of Korra | OTA

[avatar_state]

[Probably protagonist, might be the world's most hilariously bad choice in hostage.]

Count Dooku | Star Wars

[dun_moch]

[Definitely the main bad guy or one of their lieutenants.]

Malcom Merlyn l DCTV l ota

[welldressedevil]

[He could either be the baddie...or the hero. You are asking for trouble if he's a hostage

Bucky Barnes | Marvel

[raccooned]

[Down with being either the good or bad guy. Maybe even confused mook. I'm easy]

Justin Martingale | OC

[unluckyagent]

[Definitely protagonist here. Hostage is also a possibility.]

[vulvokov]

[ a very loud mouthed hostage. ]

James Ironwood | RWBY

[tinpotdicktator]

[ Either in the protagonist or antagonist/villain role even if he still thinks he's being the hero, Die Hard On An Airship could be fun but I'm flexible! ]

[snowldier]

[Could Winter be of use? A falling out or disagreement?]

Caspar von Bergliez ! Fire Emblem Three Houses

[genuinewrestleboy]

[ Probably protagonist! But it's 3H so I'm fine with say, assuming it's some sort of war situation with him on the opposing side. ]

Karla | Fire Emblem

[swordprincess]

[Likely protagonist. Hostage can be a possibility, too.]

Liora | Flight Rising | OTA

[liorafae]

[Most likely a hostage, but can be a pretty timid protagonist as well. Human AU also available.]

hawks | bnha / mha | ota.

[wing_hero]

[ would honestly be down for fitting him into any role. tags might be slow, but i'll always get to them ! ]

Wanda Wilson / Lady Deadpool | Marvel Comics | OTA

[wantstobewanted]

[She is... Maybe unknowing hostage or protag by mistake? This is Deadpool we're talking about... So that's a thing.]

Tartaglia | Genshin Impact

[sugarchilde]

[The world's calmest and least impressed hostage, until he gets bored enough to maybe take action.
Can also be a tag-along to the protagonist. Or the baddie, under the right circumstances.]

Lee | Punishing : Gray Raven | OTA

[morian]

[ Can be played as anything except mook. ]

Millie Kesser l Freaky l OTA

[iamafkingpiece]

(Likely the person (somehow awkwardly) in the John McClane role, but lmk if you have any preference.)

Usa Tsukino || Sailor Moon || OTA
