Don't let your past catch up with you

[madreen_rua]

Sometimes, these things happen. Sometimes, you're in just the wrong place at just the right time, or you've made the wrong (or right, depending on your intentions) person mad. Sometimes it's better for everyone if you just go. Sometimes there isn't time for good-bye.


LOST
You've managed to lose yourself somewhere out there, for whatever reason it was. Maybe you took someone with you (willingly? not?), or you found someone else who needed to disappear as badly as you did. You're in your car, or a cheap hotel, or a house by the side of the road. What else can you do but watch, and wait?

FOUND
It could have been as simple as being glimpsed at the 7-11. Your phoneline wasn't as secure as you thought. You locked eyes with the wrong person across the room. Now the house of cards is collapsing, and maybe not just your life, but the lives of everyone you love could be in jeopardy now. The walls are closing in, and your arms are giving out.

RULES
- post with your character's name and canon. if you have an on-the-run AU, or scenarios you might want to play out, mention them here.
- find others. tag them.
- and then, run.

Between seasons 2 & 3. Let me know if anything doesn’t work for you.

He wakes up and the old man is gone. So is the woman. So are the horses.

Lawrence isn’t sure how much time has passed, even if he has the strangest feeling that he could say exactly how much, down to the second, if someone asked him the right way. He pushes that feeling down as low as it will go. There’s more than enough else going on inside him to drown it out.

He wakes up with a hole all the way through him; the kind a man shouldn’t be able to wake up from. Lawrence knows he wasn’t asleep. Lawrence knows it isn’t even the first time.

It hurts like hell.

When he finds the dog, he follows it, if only because it seems to know where it’s going. It leads him to a cabin, which is not a cabin, but a cottage. Cottage is not the kind of word that has been programmed into Lawrence’s current vocabulary. He gives the dog a scratch behind one ear, and then doesn’t try to stop it from leaving.

It isn’t a real dog.

There’s only one bullet left in his gun.

Lawrence stares at the cottage and tries not to think about the fact that he can remember everything.

Flint "Sandman" Marko ⏳ Marvel 616

[originalbeachboy]

As a supervillain who doesn't wear a mask, this is a daily struggle.

Robert Muldoon | Jurassic Park | OTA

[allbedestroyed]

[Pre-JP he could have pissed off any number of people. Post-JP he's eager to stay out of the competitive world of dinosaurs and genetics.]

Lasulahn Lavellan | Dragon Age Inquisition

[varhellathen]

{ A couple of ideas, but OTA: AU where the Inquisitor disappears either between the ending and Trespasser, closing rifts that remain or post-Trespasser looking for Solas/just generally getting away from the bs that just happened. Alternatively, could be a companion that originally sides with Solas and thus disappears after Corypheus. Assumed CR is fine! }

Goro Akechi | Persona 5 Royal | ota!

[simulatio]

[Please let me know if there's a specific canon point you'd like him from! Spoilers for P5/P5R below.

My first thought is either an immediately-post-engine-room scenario where he was blown out of Shido's palace and is on the run from Shido's goons and doing his best to pretend to actually be dead, or we could do something with the post-credits ending of Royal where again, he's pretending to be dead and/or working with government agents/Shido's co-conspirators to try to take down the remnants of that conspiracy network. But if you have other ideas, let me know!]

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) [Strikers spoilers ahead]

[loupostle]

[Just another lovely day in Osaka... taking a break from beating the snot out of magical cognitive beings in the metaverse, or something like that. The kids all went their own ways to look around for now, leaving him to entertain himself for a while. He's not sure if it's a miracle or just to be expected that they can manage to be this relaxed under the circumstances.]

[Not that it's a bad thing to know how to take a break, but he's feeling antsy himself. He may be the old guy here, but unlike the rest of them he's only recently broken his own chains. It's a little hard to just kick back right after finding the power to fight your own battles, you know?]

[He opts to just take a walk around for now, taking note of any stores or food places he might want to stop by later. There's always takoyaki, or maybe he could keep an eye out for a souvenir or something that Akane might like...]

Rose Marshall | Ghost Roads/InCryptid | OTA

[borrowyourcoat]

[Hitchhiking ghost who was murdered on her prom night in 1953 and has been running ever since. Lots of options here:

-running from Bobby Cross, the man who killed her (picture an evil James Dean whose car and immortality run on the souls of his murder victims)
-running from ghost hunters
-helping someone else run from a supernatural threat
-keeping a getaway driver from getting themselves killed
-something I haven't thought of that your character brings to the party

Will and love to AU into any modern/recentish setting as best as I can]

[paraphenomena]

He almost doesn't see her.

It's been a long day, a lot of driving, and Loren is mostly just looking for some big box store to park at for the night. When his headlights shine on her, it takes a moment for him to really register what he's looking at. She looks— not like a child, but still, definitely young. She could be out here for a dozen different reasons, but whatever it is, along a country road in the middle of the night seems unsafe. He's read enough newspaper articles about missing folk all over to know that much.

The big white van brakes abruptly, and then pulls over to the shoulder a little ways down from the girl. There's a moment of stillness, then the flashers begin blinking.

Loren, who is maybe in his late 20s, early 30s, pokes his head out the driver's side window. "Hey! You need a ride, Miss?"
