THE HELPFUL HOSTAGE (maybe) (hopefully) MEME!

Running from a wrongful accusation of murder? Wounded by your archenemy and looking for a place to hide? Need a pilot to go after those drug lords escaping across the border? Don't have time to go through the official channels? Find a hostage! And make them help you.

In this meme, one person desperately needs help. And, in order to get it, they grab another character. Off the street, out of their car, from a restaurant.

PROMPTS: (optional)
1 - MEDICAL ATTENTION.. You're bleeding, in pain and desperate, and you need medical attention. Right now. What will you do? Break into a private practice after hours? Find a darkened house or apartment with a convenient bathroom?
2 - SHELTER. The cops are after you. The temperature is dropping below -20. You're out in the middle of nowhere and you're starving. You don't have any options left - except for this.
3 - TRANSPORTATION. You need to get out of town. Fast. Can't buy a car, can't rent a car, can't take a bus - how do you leave?
4 - PROFESSIONAL SKILLS. You need a doctor. A lawyer. A pilot. A spy. And you know just the one. And you're going to get their help whether they want it or not.
5 - A HOSTAGE. You need a body to threaten. Maybe it's the President's daughter; maybe it's just someone off the street. Either way, it's leverage you're after. Maybe you'll turn them loose once you get to the border.
6 - FINISH THE CRIME. Get the manager who can open the bank vault. Or whatever else you need to commit your act of murder, sabotage and/or thievery.
7 - IT WAS AN ACCIDENT???? Fuck.
8 - CHOOSE YOUR OWN.

[The hostage, most probably. 5, given that he's an imperial prince, would be very fitting, but also potentially very dangerous. Any of the others would work more or less well, too, however! (He's got magic/telekinesis that could be useful for various applications, for example.)]

[[Listen, when you are part of a rich family AND medically loaded, there are a bevy of reasons to hold her hostage, like a Swiss Army captive!]]

ooc: definitely the hostage, maaaaybe the hostage negotiator.

ooc; there's literally scenes of him being taken hostage and no one caring because they all know he can take care of himself, lol

could go either way but he will be the most chill, unbothered hostage you ever meet!
