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.

( info — either is possible )

[He'll typically be the rescuer, but I'm not against writing a case of Badass in Distress. I'm open to more or less all the prompts, though I think 9 will need some discussion.]

[Not feeling 1, 8 or 9. Preference for him being the one rescued but I'm open to either side.]

( can be either. )

[She can go for either side, I'm good with all the prompts and am open to other ideas outside of the presented prompts.]

[He can be the Hood in shining armor, but he can also be ass deep in alligators, so dealer's choice. ^_^ Not 1 or 9, and if 8 be prepared to deal with Bat angst.]

[8 could be entertaining because Chrissy also has experience with unwanted social obligations. She's at least willing to put on a fake smile and pretend she's not wishing she was anywhere else, though. To an extent.

I'm not really sure how any of the others would work unless he somehow blunders his way into stopping her from being Vecna'd. lol]
