THE DARING RESCUE MEME


★ HOW DOES IT WORK?
1. Post as your character, listing any preferences you'd like respected.
2. The rescuer replies. They can select the scenario, or they can leave it to you to do it.
3. Whoever's doing the picking hits up the Random Number Generator for two numbers: one between 1 and 8, representing who the first character is being rescued from, and one between 1 and 5, representing the reason for the rescue.
4. Alternately, make up your own scenario if you want.
5. Play it out! You can play out the rescue itself if you want, or just the aftermath--or both.
6. Make sure you take note of any preferences a player might have and warn for triggers in the subject line if they crop up.
7. Have fun and make sure you swoon properly!

★★ WHO ARE YOU RESCUING THEM FROM?
1] Their greatest enemy. For whatever the reason, the character's greatest enemy has finally made a move and taken them captive. Who knows what they plan to do to the poor character? Good thing you've come to save them.
2] Your greatest enemy. Your own enemy has decided to make a move against you--but not directly. They've taken this character hostage instead. Show them who's boss and rescue the victim!
3] Natural disaster. Come hell or high water, you'll save the character...and, in fact, it has come hell (in the form of fire, maybe) or high water (perhaps a flood?). Or something like that. Whatever. The point is, nature itself has it out for the character, and it's up to you to save them.
4] Wild animals. Stephen Colbert was right: bears are the number one threat. Or maybe lions. Make sure the character doesn't become dinner.
5] Supernatural forces. Actually, it's dragons. Or evil wizards. Or demons. Take your pick, just so long as you rescue the character from them.
6] Pirates. Just what the pirates intend to do with this character might be a mystery--could be they'll walk the plank, or worse. Time to pluck them from the hook-hands of danger.
7] Vice. The character has sunken into dissolution, perhaps out of despair or maybe from sheer uncontrollable self-indulgence. You're the only one who can step in and give them a new lease on life.
8] Their own bad judgment. The character is committed to a truly terrible course of action. Fortunately, you're here to make them see reason...one way or another.

★★★ WHY ARE YOU RESCUING THEM?
1] Love. The fairy tales have it right. It's true love that spurs the knight to rescue his fair maiden...or vice versa.
2] Friendship. It's not always about kisses and ravishing, you know. Sometimes, you've just gotta look out for friends and family, no matter what sticky situations they get themselves into.
3] Rivalry. Only you're allowed to dish it out to the character! Better make sure no one else gets in your way.
4] Debt. The character owes you, in one way or another. They don't think they can get off easy, do they?
5] Money. Plain and simple: you were hired for the task. It's nothing personal, just business.

[Now, ordinarily, Scout would just run away from the angry ghost pursuing the Doctor, but being promised loads and loads of money to make sure the Time Lord got away unscathed had a way of blinding him to the risk involved.]

Hey, dead guy! Heads up!

[While a baseball through the head may not actually do anything to the incorporeal, it's still more than enough for it to switch targets to the Bostonite as he waves at it.]

Aleph wiped the sweat from his forehead as the last of the demons dissolved into thin air. His own team of the creatures focused on healing one another and him...and the "idiot", as one of them liked to refer to Donna. Aleph glared at him at the term and offered the woman a hand to her feet.

"You okay?"

Pirates, Friendship

[tobetold]

[Nobody expects a kid on a gryphon. Apolline'd flown low on the waves and boarded quietly, her gryphon staying out of sight. The night makes for cover, and beyond the sleeping lookout in the crow's nest, the pirates are below deck portioning out the recent loot.

Apolline creeps barefoot across the deck to the mast where Yosuke's tied. She withdraws a dagger from her overskirt.]

( He literally can't take his eyes off of her as she stands in the middle of the study room proudly, and without a hint of shame or irony, displaying her achievement. )

Britta. I'm sure when you got up this morning and took a long hard look at your aging and bitter reflection in the mirror -- you, for some reason, thought it might be a good idea to buy a baby harness and then subsequently wear it to school toting around your two one eye'd cats. ( He tilts his head, gaze dropping to said cats docilely hanging from her chest before shooting back to her face again. ) But I'm here to tell you, on the behalf of me, Greendale, and the tragic internet meme waiting to happen on your chest right now, that it's not. So stop it.

Stop it.

Oh maaaan Daryl <3 I rolled a 5/5... Substitute money for survival if you're down for crossover?

[heavenonhigh]

What'd you say your name was again?

[Okay, so it isn't so much a daring rescue as it is spotting some guy with a crossbow in the woods while on the run from the droves of mindless undead- who just happened to be surrounded by more mindless undead. Awesome. Fuck, he hates it here. Hot, sticky, the bugs alone are making him question just giving up and letting those things get him...

Alright, it's not quite that bad, but still, Cas does have a flair for the dramatic when whining is concerned. He jams his knife into the skull of the closet croate- or walker, as the people here seem to call them- and scans the area, noting group of them shambling their way through the brush. He turns to Crossbow Guy, frowning.]

Higher ground?

[It hadn't been his intention to stray this far from the group, honestly. He'd just wanted to have a quick smoke, and since he really didn't feel like dealing with Risa's bitching about how she hates the smell, he'd opted for the woods.

Which had apparently been a bad idea. He'd just wanted a smoke, for fuck's sake... Is nothing sacred anymore?

At least he's not alone.]

[ Well, if she wanted to be known for doing impossible feats, Ambrosia decided that this was good as anything else that she's done so far. So, as the Mary comes into the horizon, she stands at the wheel, her crew positioned to fire the cannons at will. ]

Keep her steady, mates. Don't wanna ruin th' element of surprise any.

[ With a resounding "AYE!", the crew gets to work on keeping the element of surprise a...well, surprise. ]

[ How did this even happen? Oh wait. This is what happens when you lose your sword. And run out of bombs. And arrows. And then you dropped your hook thing. And- yeah, Link, you've been pretty classy today in the fail factor.

Luckily, a - Yuna's got some mad skills and b - Yuna knows how to deal with fiends. ALA the beauty of summoning prowess. So, see that crypt keeper thing? Okay, a fiend's not really an animal per say, but close enough. Either way, now? See it shrieking as Ixion pops out of the blue and BBQ's it something righteous.

And Yuna's not far behind, calling out: ] A-Are you okay!

Evil sorcerers tend to need concentration to keep casting their spells. Especially spells that involve magically binding super strong superheroes. And concentration is broken rather easily by a pair of bat-boots to the back. They're also good at sending said ever sorcerer tumbling through the portal to whatever evil dimension they were trying to kidnap the superhero to.

And luckily enough for Wonder Girl, Eidolon just kicked the Mordru wannabe through the portal that just snapped shut. Pushing himself off the floor and trying to hide how embarrassed he is for falling after kicking the bad guy, Eidolon looks quickly towards Wonder Girl.

"Are you alright, Wonder Girl-ma'am?"
