The Really Random Scenario Meme
...called such because 'The I know I said this once already but I'm friends with nothing but enablers meme' was a bit too long.

[insert witty and meaningful flavor text HERE]

- If you need a prompt, hit up the RNG and...

1. You are now trapped in a room. This room could be a kitchen or it could be a secret laboratory or something in between. Either way, you and your companion are forced to solve inane puzzles to get free...though the next room might be more of the same. Seek a way out!

2. You're haunting the land of the living as a ghost, and the only person who can see you is...them. Why are you haunting the land of the living instead of wandering off to the afterlife? I have no clue. It could be unfinished business or revenge, or it could just be a big case of it sounded like a good idea at the time.

3. You're now in a very silly disguise (Don Paolo you are not) and you just bumped into the other person. Are you a superhero? Are you a spy? Are you spying on them?

4. The subway you're on just broke down and you're trapped in it until maintenance shows up or a tow truck drives into the tunnel or...something. The doors won't open, either. It's just you and them, stuck in a dark subway car in a tunnel for a few hours.

5. ...oh wait, nevermind. The reason why the subway (or other mundane object of your choice) broke down is because Prompt 4 crossed over with a sudden disaster movie scenario. The apocalypse! Aliens! Floods and fire! Enjoy the dramatic escape.

6. You're hungry. The fridge is empty. Someone just made themselves a sandwich with the last of the food, leaving only saltine crackers and a mostly empty jar of mayonnaise behind.

- And live long and prosper.

[Shawn looks confused for a moment but recovers instantly.]

Okay! How about a free palm reading?

Is that just an excuse to touch my hand? [You don't want to know how many times guys have used that line on her.]

Whoever said something about touching your hand? Only fake psychics do that. Everyone who's the real deal knows that the only reliable palm reading can only be done by touching - [and his hand goes up, wait for it] - the elbow.

[She rolls her eyes, but puts up her elbow for him.]

[Shawn reaches out and presses his inner palm against her elbow. Then he jerks back, holding up the shaking hand and staring at it with wide eyes.

It builds from there. First he embraces the wrist in a futile attempt to stop the hand from flailing about, then the spasms take over his whole body.]

Oh no, are you alright? [She hovers, worriedly, around him, not sure what to do. Awkwardly, she grabs him by the shoulders to try to calm him, cause that's what you're supposed to do right?]

[Shawn convulses one more time and clings to her wrists. Eventually he calms down and shudders, shaking his head.]

All is well! I'm sorry, I did not mean to alarm you. The intensity of public places can sometimes be overwhelming, which is why most of us prefer the whole dimming the light, having seances in secluded places things. You never know who might take the opportunity to chat. There is a ghost named Spunky haunting these college halls but he has no idea how to actually haunt and he was so happy to get a connection from the mortal world - [He pauses and then talks into a general direction with a raised voice.] which I established by the way, no haunting points for you buddy! - and went on explaining all the gruesome details of his death.

It's a sad existence indeed.

[He exhales again, then his head snaps back up.]

But what really overloaded my psychic senses was your sense of... commitment.
