The Grand Opening Meme!

[truemage]

Let's start things off with an open meme! I tried to come up with a wide variety of prompts, so hopefully everyone can find something that works for them. Welcome, everyone!

HOW TO PLAY
— Post a comment with your character, noting name/canon and any preferences. You can specify a scenario from the start, or leave things open-ended!
— Tag others! Head to the RNG and roll a number, or choose your own situation.
— If you're new to this style of RP, check out bakerstreet for examples of how it works because I suck at explaining.
— Have fun!


PROMPTS

① COURT SUMMONS → A lord or lady has summoned you to their home! They might be in need of your advice, or your skills… Perhaps they want to forge a political alliance, or maybe they just want to see an old friend. Who knows what other familiar or unfamiliar faces you might encounter at the castle!

② BANDITS → A Fire Emblem classic. Some brigands are attacking! Do you run, or do you stay and fight? You could use a little help…

③ MERCENARIES → Somehow you've been hired by the same person and are now forced to work together. Or maybe there's someone you recognize in the opposing faction…

④ SHOP → Is that old Iron Sword about to break? Looking for a vulnerary, or something more special? You might not be the only person who's got your eye on a certain item.

⑤ ARENA → Maybe you're low on cash, or maybe you're just looking to hone your skills a little. Here comes your opponent… do they look familiar? Alternately, you're a spectator, watching someone you find particularly interesting!

⑥ INN → You've stopped in for a drink or a bite to eat. Perhaps you feel like a game of dice or are in search of a room for the night. Maybe you've already been there for a while and have had a few too many drinks. Do you mingle with the other patrons or keep your distance and observe?

⑦ ENABLER → One of you is trying to convince the other to do something. Is it serious, like stealing or killing? Maybe you just want them to accompany you to the next formal ball, or help you play a prank on someone.

⑧ LOST → One of you thought that was the right turn back there… but now you're hopelessly lost. Better find someone to help you out. Or maybe the two of you are traveling together and now you're both hopelessly lost!

⑨ TACTICS → Something's coming up -- whether it's a battle, an assassination, a heist, or even a peaceful event, you and the other person have to plan for it.

⑩ COOKING → Whether you're cooking for an army, for yourselves, or someone else, everyone needs to eat, right?

⑪ STRANGER → Who is this person? Someone approaches you and seems to know you, but you don't have any idea who they are.

⑫ INJURY / ILLNESS → One of you has been hurt, or fallen ill. It's up to the other to take care of them.

⑬ TRAPPED → For some reason, you're stuck in a cell together, under siege in a fort, locked in a room… something to that effect. What will you do to pass the time?

⑭ CHALLENGE → One of you is challenging the other to something! Is it a duel, or a dare, or just a friendly competition?

⑮ CONFESSION → There's something you've been needing to tell this person, and now is finally the time.

⑯ ADVICE → You've been struggling with a problem lately, and it'd be nice to have someone to lend an ear. Or maybe you're learning -- or want to learn -- a new skill, and could use a few pointers.

⑰ CELEBRATION → Whatever the occasion, it's time to celebrate!

⑱ MARRIAGE → Political or for love? Successful or not? Is it the big day, your first few months together, or have you been together for years now?

⑲ CUDDLING → Whatever the reason, your characters feel like having some fluffy times.

⑳ GIFT → Time to give somebody a present! Is it a small trinket, or something bigger and more meaningful?

ⓧ OTHER → Feel free to come up with your own scenario not listed here!

Feedback is always appreciated -- do you like these open memes? Should they be a semi-regular thing? Suggestions for prompts/themes? Let me know!

Ewan! Wait up! Is it really necessary to run so far ahead? I'm afraid we may have missed our turn.

16

[jehanna_tiger]

You needed to see me, kiddo?

12 (Now to reverse the roles...)

[mountain_sage]

[Saleh tries to get up, but his muscles ache as he does so. Slowly, he starts over to the tent entrance, but his legs tremble. After a few steps, he collapses to one knee.]

Ahh...

Heath | FE7

[withhonor]

17! I also hope you don't mind any rustiness; it's been a while since rping in general. ;;

[troubled_troubadour]

[It was the army's victory celebration after the defeat of Nergal. Awesome. Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves; Priscilla hadn't heard such lively laughter and glee in months. She approached Heath with two glasses and offered one to him.]

Are you thirsty, Heath?

Innes | FE8

[strategician]

12

[awkwardsister]

[Well, it could be worse. She could be dead.

But she could also not be hiding in a ditch with a cut on her head and a probable broken arm from getting knocked off her pegasus.

She's watching over the top for an ally, but--dammit, it's an archer, one she doesn't recognize, so she ducks back down quickly.]

17

[jehanna_tiger]

[HEY INNES guess what we gettin cruuuunked tonight. Have a friendly pound on the back.]

Hey, boss! The girls and I are celebrating the win today. You want in?

Lyn | FE7

[reckless_but_loyal]

[It was supposed to be a fairly simple matter; Hector had gotten reports of some shady dealings from a minor noble, and he'd dragged Lyn along to help him investigate. When they arrived, they were escorted into a room and asked to wait.

Nobody's been by since.]

I'm going to take a look around.

[He tests the doorknob. It doesn't move.]

Hah. Of course.

Leanne | FE10

20. YOU ASKED FOR IT.

[strongwing]

[Oh shit a pegasus just fell out of the sky. On top of you. Time to go crashing to the ground in a tumble of wings, hooves, sharp weapons, and blue hair. And gold pieces, probably. After all, this is Farina we're talking about.]

Eirika | FE8

[renaistoration]

14

[themoonstone]

[only because 19 is too horrifying. The shadow of a wyvern passes over Eirika, and then Valter is there, a sick smirk on his face.]

There you are, my wayward little princess.

Raven | FE7

[chip_and_a_sword]

11

[ill_hearted_gentleman]

['Sup, Raven? Please pay no mind to the Ostian knight over here intently studying your features.]

Gerik | FE8

[jehanna_tiger]

[crimsonflash]

[The mercenary troop is on a supply run. Exciting! Marisa waits for Gerik in front of the shop, standing rigid and statue-like. She gives him a nod.]

Chief.

Valter | FE8

[themoonstone]

13 [This will be all kinds of awkward]

[mountain_sage]

[The armory is oddly empty. Perhaps Saleh had spent a little too long browsing through the swords, trying to decide on a gift for Gerik. He's not too familiar with swords, so he's not sure just which one fits Gerik's style best. Perhaps one of the larger ones?]

[Well, it's getting a bit late, so Saleh decides to give up and come back tomorrow. He tries to leave, only to find that the door won't open. Is it jammed or locked? Either way, he won't panic. Someone will be here in the morning to reopen the shop. However, he can't shake off the distinct feeling that someone else was in here as well...]
