- 1. Horror: Your characters are taken from their own worlds and thrown into a terrifying situation! Things are creepy, resources are scarce, and ensuring your own survival is paramount.
- 2. Sex Game: For whatever contrived and nonsensical reason, your characters are forced into a world where they gotta bone. Aside from smutstuff, you have the opportunity to play out how very awkward it is to navigate these agreements and encounters before and after. Lasting bonds can form from something you didn't expect! But so can eternal regret.
- 3. Slice of Life: Characters are forced to live together in familial units. They have an opportunity here -- in spite of being stuck -- to relax and slow down and do some fun, ordinary things. Picnics, dates, school, etc.
- 4. Fantasy: Characters are forced into guilds and roles, given weapons and are made to utilize their powers in coordinated units to complete missions.
- 5. Scifi: Characters are thrust on to the frontier of spacial colonization! Characters on a spaceship! Characters being drafted into an Imperial Earth Army to fight/conquer foreign entities! Characters being in a world where they are assessed, identified, tracked and policed by artificial intelligence! And so on!
- 6. Reincarnation/ New Identity: Your character has been reborn at this game, or given a new identity. Work out their karma or help them come to terms with having to live a new life.
- 7. Asylum/Prison/Institutionalized Identity: Characters are locked up and put under heavy surveillance. Slowly they are institutionalized and disintegrated from ordinary social rules of engagement. They could be told that they've been identified as mentally dysfunctional, or they could be in prison! Are they pleading their innocence, or do they know they're guilty as fuck back in their world?
- 8. Assignment-Based/Mercenary/Survival: Characters have to put their skills to good use as drafted mercenaries. Help your captors assassinate, spy, sabotage, infiltrate, steal, and terrorize for points that will lead up to your freedom or the freedom of others.
- 9. Your Choice!: Do whatever!
II - SITUATION
- 1. First Impressions: You never forget your first impression of someone. Unless it was entirely forgettable.
- 2. Oh Hey Again: I kind of know you!!!! Hi!!! I hate this place but love familiarity hi!!!
- 3. Event: SOMETHING IS HAPPENING and your characters have either run into each other or sought each other out to stick together during it!
- 4. Living Quarters: Surprise, your characters are in the same house! Or room! Or building! Either way you have to share space and facilities with this person. Enjoy!
- 5. Mystery: Who Did It? Why Are We Here? Characters are disappearing, people are dying, whatever is happening it is FISHY!
- 6. Canon Update/Respawn/"But we know each other, I swear!": One character comes (back) to a game and does not remember previous CR. A relationship or friend or even hateship is forgotten. How will this be dealt with?
- 7. Begrudgingly Working Together: You are so fucking annoying but I guess we have to fight Monster of the Day Together/Get Unstuck-UnLost Together/Find Our Way Back/Help Each Other Out.
- 8. Is This a Date: Gee, you guys sure are doing a lot of things that people on dates do and you're having a lot of fun [sweats]...
- 9. Violence: Characters beat the shit out of each other or help each other out of a gory situation with terrible traumatic injuries or something!
- 10. One-Sided(?) Crush: How do you get their attention? Or, alternatively, how do you ignore that this person obviously is crushing on you and it's totally awkward
- 11. Protecting/Saving: Your character's chance to be a hero or a damsel!
- 12. Network Post: Mandatory bs.
- 13. Inbox: Hey, can I talk to you for a second? In private?
- 14. Your Choice!: Do whatever!

[He likes to show off when he knows he's guaranteed to look good! He doesn't know yet if he'll get too exhausted from using the magic and beef it part way through and that's not at all the look he wants to have in front of his senapi! Or any girl, really.]
[But then she has to go and offer him the out and it comes just too close to bruising his masculinity. So, like an idiot, he backpedals.]
No, no, I can do it! I wouldn't dare get in the way of good science.
[He hops on the balls of his feet a couple times then turns in the direction of the storefront she had shown him on her map.]
On your mark, senpai.
no subject
If you insist, I won't stop you.
[ She pulls up the stopwatch on her phone and... ]
Three, two, one... go.
[ Starts it. For science!! ]
no subject
[Whatever, Ryoko, act like you didn't want him to be doing this.]
Hup!
[He kicks off on go, starting at the same speed he had when he was doing laps around her. He doesn't show any signs of slowing down...]
no subject
So it is staying consistent, at least for now...
[ You can tell she's taking this science stuff seriously because now she's taking notes. ]
no subject
[The fluffy untamable curls are a challenge waiting to be met with Shu's favorite de-frizz and de-tangle cosmetics. But that's science for a later time.]
[He is still consistent, though he starts to feel a little strain in his legs and he can tell he's gonna be winded by the end. Ugh, not cool. Still, he makes it to the landmark, bounces on his feet for a quick breather, and then comes running back.]
no subject
The timer gives a cheery beep! as she stops it, but she holds on a few seconds before checking the final time - just to give him a chance to catch his breath. ]
You managed that much quicker than I was expecting... it looks like it's done something for your stamina, too.
no subject
[More than a consolation- he puffs up like a strutting pigeon while he literally puffs for breath a little.]
I was pretty athletic to start with, but I definitely haven't done two miles like that in awhile, and I've never been this fast.
[He practically sparkles like she gave him effusive praise.]
no subject
It's definitely an impressive speed. [ she's going back to tapping away and taking notes on her phone. science!! experimenting!! If nothing else, having something reasonably practical to focus on seems to have perked her up a bit more than usual. ] How did it actually feel to run like that? Any different than usual?
no subject
[Well when you say it like that...]
It felt really good, actually. Like being able to go faster made me want to run more.
[Even Ryoko looks happy about all this, in her own way. The way she always looks when there is Science To Do. It softens his smile somewhat, and he might look a little bit dorky when she looks up from tapping on her phone.]
no subject
[ She goes quiet for a moment, mulling that over. With no apparent self-consciousness, she fixes Shu with a searching sort of look, just intense enough to be a little embarrassing to be subjected to. It could just be a coincidence, but... ]
Going fast is something you're already inclined to enjoy... you have your bike, after all. Could that be why you developed a power like this? It's something you're already inclined towards?
