B-Movie Scenario Meme




You and yours are noticing how suspiciously familiar this whole setting is. Surprise! You're in a B-Movie. And guess who's the star? Ding-ding. Well, saddle up, grab a knife, run up the stairs - whatever it takes to survive to the end credits.

There could be possible triggers in here for horror type scenarios, involving violence, gore, and death.

Prompts
1 - "Hail to the King, baby": Welcome to being sucked into an alternate dimension with castles and demons and books that try to eat your face off. But that's okay, you've got a shotgun and a chainsaw, right? This... is your BOOMSTICK. Shop Smart. Shop S-Mart.

2 - "I'm gonna need a bigger can of Raid": Spiders, preying mantises, cockroaches, ants... whatever it is that has more than four legs, it's now supersized and about to attempt to move up the food chain. You gonna take that sitting down?

3 - "But the sign says don't feed the animals!": Mother nature is pissed, and she's got the critters of the land riled up and coming after you. Whether it's snakes in a plane, rats being directed by a scrawny bastard with satchels, or genetically altered bats/sharks/sharktopuses, they all want a piece of the OTHER other white meat.

4 - "I vant to suck your bloooood": Some creepy ass mofo in a cape with bad dental work is giving you the eye. Big eyes. With some kind of unibrow shit going on that needs to be trimmed. Plucking isn't just for woman, buddy. Grab a chair leg, or hell, a pencil, and tell him that no means no.

5 - "Maybe you should have taken a left at Uranus": Yep. You guessed it. Space aliens. Weird little green men with big heads and eyes the size of footballs. What's that in their hand? Is that... is that a probe? Oh god, run. RUN!

6 - "The curse of... that thing with the curse on it": Whether you've come afoul of a gypsy curse, or you've taken something from somewhere you shouldn't have, you're cursed. Things are dropping on you, that black cat keeps crossing your path, things break just as you touch them. What else can go wrong?

7 - "Braaaaaaaaains": What's a b-movie meme without the obligatory zombies? Whether it's the Dawn of the Dead shambling ones, or the 28 Days Later running freaks of nature that have magically learned how to do parkour, you've got to deal with them. Grab a cricket-bat and your least favorite record and have at it.

8 - "Input. Does not compute. Error. Error": Robots gone wild, weee! Well, as wild as a robot can get. But when you take into consideration that they're no longer listening to you, and have decided that you're a parasitic virus on the face of the earth, you might have to try to give it the ol' reboot. IF you can reach the button...

9 - "You shore do got a purdy mouth, ah-hyuck": Ooooh. You shouldn't have taken that 'short cut'. Now you're lost in the middle of nowhere, and... wait, is that banjo music you hear? When you can yell out 'Cletus!' and someone answers, it's time to gtfo, buddy.

10 - "There's something touching my leg": Yeah, we've done evil animals, but this is specifically for the 'wtf are you still doing in the water, you goddamn idiot' scenarios. Be it huge crocs, giant anacondas, flesh eating piranhas, there's something in that murky water that wants to get a little more up close and personal with you. Say hi to Cthulu.

11 - "She blinded me with SCIENCE": You should really be more careful with your components. Your experiment has gone awry, either blending you or someone else with some poor critter you had, or some type of virus that's changing them in ways that are VERY NOT GOOD. Now's not the time to remember you didn't fully lock the restraints...

12 - "DRAGONS!": Because dragons deserve a category of their own. Seriously. Motherfucking DRAGONS, yo. And they think you look mighty tasty. And small. And puny. And helpless. Get the goddamn army to show them just how not helpless you are, or die trying.

13 - "Let's do the timewarp again": Either the tagger or the tagee is from the future or the past, coming with a message. Or just a desire to fuck shit up. Go back and kill Hitler, you say? But... I want to go into the future and fly my car around.

14 - "REET REET REET REET REET": Can we say psycho? Or Mike Meyers? Or Krueger? Or Jason? However you want to say it, there's a crazy guy with a knife/chainsaw/sickle and you're the only thing on their mind. Can you and your tagging partner evade them? Or is your tagging partner the one after you?

15 - "Devil with the blue dress on": Something wicked this way comes. Its favorite numbers are 666, and it likes to drink blood on a moonlit beach. You've woken it somehow, or it was the prophesized time for them to come and claim what's theirs. Namely, you.

16 - "Wildcard": Don't see what you feel like playing on here? Make it up and go your own way, compadre.

Relationships
1 - Comrade in arms: You and the tagger are in this together. Until the bitter, bitter, bitter end.
2 - Enemies: You're tagging in as the antagonist in this little scenario.
3 - Unwillingly dragged into this: You were just walking along, minding your own business, when BAM. Now you're in the middle of this mega-crap.
4 - Consulting Expert: You're the expert that they're coming to for answers. You got any? HUH?
5 - Wildcard: Come up with your own relationship.

[ Okay, here's my pitch.

This scene is not about being in a B-movie as much as it is about them shooting a B-movie together. And I think it's gonna be of the 'Terminator-esque' variety.

I'll take your lead on the 'relationships' aspect. ]

Sonya was reading the script and chewing the inside of her cheek, it was the sort of face she made when she was trying not to show how a battle plan was making her nervous. She was in this because Johnny had pulled strings to get her to be on the 'Consultant' crew, and somehow here she was now winding up in the damned thing.

She'd barely managed to get to the point of not batting away the makeup and costume people who hovered around her touching up this and matching that. How Johnny managed all this all the time, she would never know. Apparently she had never given him enough credit for patience in dealing with things or learning how to multitask in this particular environment. She was going crazy.

"Johnny!" Her skin was crawling every time the costumer adjusted the strategically placed straps of her tank top. No wonder starlets always looked like they had huge boobs, movie magic at it's finest right there. It was all in the costuming. She looked for her husband, very much needing a well-timed Hollywood intervention before she lost her cool on some well-meaning but annoying crew member.

Johnny had always been comfortable in the chaos of a movie set, but at this point in his career nothing seemed to rattle him anymore. He hadn't been on a single movie set where things had gotten as grim as they did in Mortal Kombat. Nor had the stakes ever been as high as they were when he assisted her special forces unit.

This was easy. Practically a paid vacation by comparison. (Plus he liked getting primped.)

"I'm coming, I'm coming."

He had been sitting on the steps of his trailer, not far from where Sonya was getting made up. He had to look up from the script he was trying to memorize and walk a few dozen feet nearer to her.

"Hey Pablo." He said, giving finger-guns to a member of the crew he felt on particularly close terms with as he walked by.

"What's up, babe?"

"Johnny!" She pushed away from everyone as gently as she could and stepped close. "I need air, everyone is everywhere and this isn't how I operate. They comb my hair and do the makeup thing, and that guy adjusted my boobs!" She was pretty sure he was more interested in what Johnny was packing than her, but still, it was sort of unnerving to be done so casually.

There were very rare times when Sonya Blade looked out of control and out of her element, but this was one. She looked to him for guidance on how to navigate this, like a rookie looks to their commanding officer. Tell her how to get through this, give her an order, make it make sense in a way her military hardwired brain can accept, Johnny.

His world was a lot weirder and more strange than outworld was to her, and more so since she was pretty sure she would be discouraged from actually fighting her way out of this one.

"Okay, take a deep breath, Babe."

He then went thought the act of taking a deep breath himself. Hoping that if they did it together it would seem less patronizing (which wasn't his aim at all).

"First of all, your boobs look ..." He flipped up his sunglasses for a better look. "... amazing."

"This is how all movie sets work, honestly, so yeah it's a little weird, but not any more weird than how most of them are." He pursed his lips and then added. "Everyone here is just someone doing their job, you know? So if you need a second just say so."

She did, she could breathe, and she did, deep and slow and followed with him.

The joke, maybe it wasn't, but his leering broke the tension and let her laugh at last. She swatted his shoulder. "At least you're allowed to look. Less weird with you."

"Right, just a job. Just like how I would field dress a wound if I had to. Right. This is all just work." She could get her mind into the right set for this. She had to treat it like an exercise. She had an objective and that was to get through her lines and not embarrass Johnny by fucking things up.

"Ok, ok yeah I got this. So I just walk to the mark on the floor, don't look at the camera, and speak to you like I am talking to just you and no one else." She nodded, she could do that. "Dialog's a little trite though, isn't it? "

She cleared her throat and read from the script. "Citizen Cage, you've done it, you saved the Earth! You won the tournament." She looked up at him with a raised brow. "Really?"

[ Let me know if this doesn't suit you. ]

A middle-aged figure leaps into frame. He's running towards the sound of a scream that be heard though an open skylight in an old abandoned building. It's too dark to see him clearly, but the glint of a suspender strap glitters in the blue-black of night.

He stops to peer inside through the skylight. As the camera pans down we can see - not just a lovely woman with tears rolling down her cheeks, tied to a chair - but a whole family!!! Somewhere out of sight a goon shouts menacingly ...

"Shut up or I'll fill your son full of bullets."

We pan back up to our middle-aged hero, who now leans into a beam of light. We see the black and white painted face of a mime - not just any mime, but the Ninja Mime as the technowave soundtrack starts to swell.

Cut to wide shot of Ninja Mime pantomiming in an exaggerated wave to a character outside of the frame.

With astonishing speed, an object flies into frame. Cut to a slow motion close-up of...a coffee mug with "World's Greatest Dad" written on it?

It slams into an enemy ninja's skull, then ricochets off another one's nose before tumbling to the carpet.

Immediately following it is another coffee mug. Another close zoom reveals that this one reads "World's Greatest Mime."

And a certain young woman in familiar but lawyer-friendly motley and makeup with dyed hair follows behind it with a flying kick.

Jonny's mime makeuped face twisted into a look of wide eyed surpise, with a hand covering over his mouth. It was exactly the kind of overacting someone would expect in the Ninja Mime movies and yet none of the films had ever been a team up before.

Ninja mime crashes through the special effect glass and lands in a dramatic action pose. He then charges at the first guy that he can see holding a gun and with a front snap kick, knocks the automatic rifle out of his hand.

The not!Harley ninja twirls an arm above her head and throws her invisible lasso around a charging armed baddie, sending him sprawling to the ground as his weapon clatters across the floor. Then, in an act of improbable ninja strength and impossible miming prowess, she swings the rope around, dragging the fallen ninja mook in a wide arc across the floor. He crashes into his comrades' shins, bowling them over.

At last, Cassie lets go and turns to Johnny, smiling and giving a broad thumbs up. It is a masterful display of acting that recalls such great performances as whoever-that-dude-from-the-Mentos-commercials-was.

[Having this lug on your side would be useful in a confrontation, he’s got physical strength, keen observation skills, and operates (and maintains!) machinery, but dock points for his short temper and insecurities…
Not so cool if you’re on opposite sides and especially not if you’re more of the heroic good guy persuasion, because crossing him can be deadly, even if he prefers to avoid killing kids. (But he will if they keep coming back!)
You wanna antagonize Buson, that could be fun!]
