the rescue meme





'Cause sometimes you just can’t save yourself.


→ Post with your character’s name, canon, and any preferences in the subject line
→ Those tagging, go to RNG and roll for a number between one and ten.
→ Alternatively, just pick the choice you’re interested in most.



1. BAD DATE - You get a text, a phone call, or maybe you can just see the other person floundering on what clearly must be the worst date of their life. Time to step in and save the day.

2. PRISON - Maybe they've been wrongly convicted, or maybe you're an accomplice. Either way, it's jailbreak time. Maybe the guards will fall for the old 'wounded prisoner' technique.

3. TAKEN HOSTAGE - They're being held at gunpoint, either for money or for fun. Maybe you can talk down their captors — or maybe you are a captor, secretly working to help them.

4. UNWELL - Your body is damaged, your suffering taken its toll. You can't save yourself anymore. You're wounded, you're starving, maybe even dying. Someone, help!

5. YOURSELF - One bad choice after another, your self-destructive tendencies are going to get the best of you unless someone steps in to save the day.

6. BIG DAMN RESCUE - You're hovering over an active volcano, a pit of sharks, about to fall off a cliff. Whatever it is, you've only got precious seconds of life left.

7. LONELINESS - You've been secluded, locked away, and the emptiness is overwhelming. You need company, or you might just drown.

8. UNWANTED SOCIAL FUNCTION - A family reunion, your three o'clock board meeting, whatever it is, you desperately don't want to go. Hopefully your good buddy can come up with a distraction.

9. BAD ROMANCE - You're trapped in a relationship that's headed south. Maybe it's an arranged marriage, or maybe it's just someone who won't take no for an answer. You need a helping hand, maybe even a Prince(ss) Charming.

10. WILDCARD - Any kind of rescue will do! Spread your creative wings and go for it.

[The battle cry rattles them more than one would think--a shout like that usually heralds the approach of reinforcements. And while they were confident they could take one rider, they knew better than to think four of them could survive against a group of Rohirrim, especially when the one seems intent on taking as many of them as she can into death with her!

The look on the prisoner's face changes from terror to hope, however, and that hope allows him to cleverly twist himself free. He grasps her hand with both of his, jumping toward her with an odd strangled yelp. He's so small and light that it's easy to pull him up with her.]

[She drops the knife, with a pang of regret; it is more important, though, to have both hands free, to haul him bodily into the saddle as she puts her heels to the horse's flanks. It rankles to flee, even now - but while she has less care for her own life than perhaps she ought, she will not be careless with another. As soon as his feet leave the ground, she is urging her horse into a gallop again, wheeling around back towards Edoras.]

[It is a moment before she catches her breath enough to ask, over the rushing of the wind and the thunder of her horse's hooves:] Are you wounded?

[sandinmyhair]

[The strange little man clings for dear life, breath wheezing. He seriously considers telling his rescuer that he's all right, more out of an instinct to conceal weaknesses than anything else. But there's no sense in hiding what might become a liability later. Always looking to the future, even if he doesn't see it.

Besides, breathing is painful, now, and darkness creeps into the edge of his eyesight.]

Think they... broke something.... Couple of ribs, at least....

[It is just as well that she is an accomplished rider: she is able to steady him in the saddle, and turn to look behind her to see if the Orcs are giving chase, and not lose her seat in the process. Even so, it is not particularly easy.]

Hold fast. We will soon be in sight of the walls, and I do not think they will dare follow us there.

[And if they do, well - there are plenty of people in Edoras better-armed than she is. A few stray Orcs will not make it beyond the barrows.]
