The Grand Opening Meme!

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 [community profile] 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!

Teacher?! [worried Ewan rushes right to his side]
mountain_sage: (Serenity)

[personal profile] mountain_sage 2012-08-01 02:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[Now his arms tremble as he struggles to keep himself from falling over.]

Ewan...I don't...I feel...so weak...
eagerstudent: (unsure)

[personal profile] eagerstudent 2012-08-01 02:40 pm (UTC)(link)
You look awful! What happened?! [trying to hold him upright]
mountain_sage: (Serenity)

[personal profile] mountain_sage 2012-08-01 02:41 pm (UTC)(link)
It...must be illness. I woke up...feeling like this...

[Help...]
eagerstudent: (unsure)

[personal profile] eagerstudent 2012-08-01 04:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Um...go back to bed! I'll get a healer, or...something! [poor Ewan still doesn't know how to staves yet]
mountain_sage: (Serenity)

[personal profile] mountain_sage 2012-08-01 04:26 pm (UTC)(link)
I suppose...I don't have much of a choice...

[Weakly, he'll start to crawl over to his camp bedding...]
eagerstudent: &hearts; <lj user="cryptgirl"> (spellcasting)

[personal profile] eagerstudent 2012-08-01 04:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[Once he's lying down, Ewan will put a blanket over him and root through their bags for medicine or some sort of medical tome]
mountain_sage: (Serenity)

[personal profile] mountain_sage 2012-08-01 04:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[And the sick sage will take a deep breath as he just lies there like a dead weight. His eyes drift closed, and he's more than willing to try to sleep this illness away.]
eagerstudent: (unsure)

[personal profile] eagerstudent 2012-08-01 04:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ewan finds some potions, herbs and a staff. Now to figure out what to do...]

Just relax, teacher...I'll figure something out.
mountain_sage: (Pondering Sage)

[personal profile] mountain_sage 2012-08-01 04:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[He wakes up with a pitiful glance at his student.]

Ewan...I don't think that...anything will help...
eagerstudent: (unsure)

[personal profile] eagerstudent 2012-08-01 04:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[blink]

...what do you mean?
mountain_sage: (Serenity)

[personal profile] mountain_sage 2012-08-01 04:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Healing...is only for flesh wounds. Illness...that is something else entirely...
eagerstudent: (unsure)

[personal profile] eagerstudent 2012-08-01 04:49 pm (UTC)(link)
...oh, right. [WORRIED] Um...what should I do, then?
mountain_sage: (Serenity)

[personal profile] mountain_sage 2012-08-01 04:53 pm (UTC)(link)
I just...need to rest. I'll be fine...
mountain_sage: (Serenity)

[personal profile] mountain_sage 2012-08-01 06:38 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm fine...fine...

[He closes his eyes again as he lifts up a hand, his elbow propped on the ground.]
eagerstudent: &hearts; Gin (sads)

[personal profile] eagerstudent 2012-08-01 10:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Well...maybe I should get Sister Natasha or Father Moulder, just in case.
mountain_sage: (Serenity)

[personal profile] mountain_sage 2012-08-01 10:16 pm (UTC)(link)
All right...

[He'll consent to that. Perhaps having a healer would be helpful. Perhaps they'd be able to do something]
eagerstudent: (unsure)

[personal profile] eagerstudent 2012-08-01 10:24 pm (UTC)(link)
...will you be okay on your own? You'd never leave me alone if it were me.
mountain_sage: (Solemn)

[personal profile] mountain_sage 2012-08-01 10:26 pm (UTC)(link)
What...?

[Saleh glances at his young pupil once more.]

You...won't be long...will you?
eagerstudent: (unsure)

[personal profile] eagerstudent 2012-08-01 10:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Well...no, I probably won't. I dunno where either of them are, though.
mountain_sage: (Serenity)

[personal profile] mountain_sage 2012-08-01 10:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Perhaps...you could send someone else to contact them?
eagerstudent: (Default)

[personal profile] eagerstudent 2012-08-01 10:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, right! Princess Eirika is a few feet away training, let me go ask her! [and he scurries off, returning in seconds flat]
