The All-Purpose JamJar Meme

For that authentic Jamjar experience without the pesky commitment. Roll or pick from a setting and a prompt below! Drum up some assumed CR with strangers! Jamjar settings are officially the best when you want to do a cross-canon tag-out but just can't be assed to think of a way to fit your character in another one's canon.


I - SETTING



  • 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!

[ Yoshiko takes Marion with a quick movement, yanking the girl against her and pressing a hand to her mouth in case she starts blurting out anything else that might ruin their credibility around here. This kid is a menace! But she forces a stiff smile, nodding along the whole time. ]

Right, right! Of course, it won't happen again! I'll make sure of it!

[ and with that she starts dragging Marion along with her into the house. She doesn't let go until she's managed to slam the door behind them and finally releases her, giving the girl a little push for good measure. ]

What the heck are you doing?! Are you trying to get us both arrested or something?!
stuckinreverse: (What's your damage?)

[personal profile] stuckinreverse 2017-01-08 07:57 am (UTC)(link)
[The rest of Marion's protests are muffled behind Yoshiko's hand, her struggling proving useless against her bigger and stronger 'sister'. She's clearly been insulted, and now betrayed. How dare Yoshiko go along with this stupid world! The truancy officer naturally ignores her throwing a fit, only giving Yoshiko another warning that further absences won't be treated lightly.

Yoshiko has to drag Marion inside practically kicking and screaming. She calms down a little once she's been released, but still whirls around to look up at Yoshiko with the fiercest rage her tiny body can muster.]


What are you doing?! I tried to tell them I'm too grown up for their stupid schools! They just picked me up and dragged me here.

[There's a scoff then, and she mutters:]

What's a fallen angel afraid of, anyway?
foredoomed: (like open doors)

[personal profile] foredoomed 2017-01-08 10:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Yoshiko jabs her finger forward so hard that she nearly impales Marion's forehead on the end of her fingernail. This 50/50 life of normalcy and acting as Yohane is a perfect deal and she knows she won't get this anywhere else. This little girl is not messing it up for her. ]

So what if you're too grown up?! You don't look it! And neither of us have any of our powers anymore! [ not that... yoshiko had any in the first place BUT THAT'S NOT ANYONE'S BUSINESS BUT HER OWN ] While we're here we've got to act like normal girls as much as we can!
stuckinreverse: (Not sure about this...)

[personal profile] stuckinreverse 2017-01-09 11:24 am (UTC)(link)
[It's going to take more than a finger jab to cool Marion's glare. She's not sure she believes this girl had any powers to begin with, but then she doesn't particularly care one way or the other.]

Oh yeah?! What's so normal about going around calling yourself 'Yohane' and going on about angels and demons?

[She's a tiny bit bitter that Yoshiko can get away with her nonsense, while Marion... can't. People naturally assume Marion's full of it when she claims to be older than she looks and acts, but no one can prove Yoshiko wasn't a fallen angel before she came here.]

School's a waste of time for me. You can go be normal with your friends, but I have more important things to do.
foredoomed: (like open doors)

[personal profile] foredoomed 2017-01-13 09:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Wh... what's normal for me is totally different from what's normal for mortals like you!

[ But that sounded like it hit a nerve. She's been trying to keep doing Yohane's voice while she's here but that got it to crack and slip back into her natural voice. She doesn't even try to get her tone back into control before she continues. ]

Besides! When you cause trouble, it gets me in trouble! You saw the way he acted like it was my fault you can't stay in school! I'm not taking the fall for you!
stuckinreverse: (What's your damage?)

[personal profile] stuckinreverse 2017-01-14 06:24 am (UTC)(link)
[Tch... okay, she can ignore Yoshiko talking down to her this one time. Because clearly Marion's struck a nerve and flustered her. Which makes this a partial victory for the smaller 'sister'!]

I don't care, I'm not letting anyone treat me like a little kid!

[She folds her arms and gives a haughty little huff.]

Serves you right if I get caught again, anyway.

[Why should she be the only one suffering?]
foredoomed: (WAKE ME UP)

[personal profile] foredoomed 2017-01-14 09:01 pm (UTC)(link)
What do you mean "serves me right"?! You're the one who won't go to school! How come I'm the one getting in trouble for you being a brat?!

[ Suffice to say: she mad. ]

If you don't quit causing trouble, I'm gonna have to start taking serious measures. Is that what you want me to do?
stuckinreverse: (Not sure about this...)

[personal profile] stuckinreverse 2017-01-15 08:30 am (UTC)(link)
[Marion is not only a tiny girl with a big attitude, and an even bigger mouth. She's also extremely petty. Does she care if Yoshiko gets in trouble for her actions? Not in the slightest.]

Uh-huh, sure. I bet you couldn't do anything if you tried, Yohane.

[She's also supremely overconfident. What's Yoshiko going to do, anyway? Threaten her with some fallen angel nonsense? That might work on some people, but it doesn't work on Marion.]
foredoomed: (WAKE ME UP INSIDE)

[personal profile] foredoomed 2017-01-15 11:12 pm (UTC)(link)
That's what you think.

[ Yoshiko plants her hands on her hips and leans in until she and Marion are nearly nose to nose. And then she smirks. ]

If you don't start going to school, I'm telling.

[ OHHHHHHH SICK BURN, YOSHIKO, SICK BURN ]
stuckinreverse: (Would this face lie?)

[personal profile] stuckinreverse 2017-01-15 11:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[For a second, Marion almost seems nervous. Or maybe it's just that she's grimacing at how Yoshiko looms and leans in close like that.

... And then it's even lamer than Marion thought. She didn't even try to threaten her with flashy poetic 'fallen angel' nonsense! She's telling. Ooh. Marion's so terrified, she 'snrk's a little almost-chuckle, defiantly leaning up to meet Yoshiko's invasion of space.]


Go for it! You'll just get blamed too, big sister.

[It's so distasteful, saying those words out loud. She has to put every ounce of sarcasm she can into it just to make it tolerable. She's not above taking advantage of situations like this, when it serves her purposes.]
foredoomed: (WAKE ME UP INSIDE)

[personal profile] foredoomed 2017-01-23 10:03 pm (UTC)(link)
That's what you think. It's not like I'm gonna tattle on you or anything, though! I'm just sooooo worried about my little sister. How else are we going to keep her toeing the line?

[ Yoshiko just grins. This honestly sounds like a threat to her. Very unlike a fallen angel. ]

What are you gonna do when they confiscate all your stupid magic junk, huh?
stuckinreverse: (Worried)

[personal profile] stuckinreverse 2017-01-23 10:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Q-Quit talking like that! I told you, I only look like this! I'm really seventeen, so if anyone's the little sister here, it's you!

[She looks nervous, though. Yoshiko's change of tactics is much more effective than their squabbling earlier, at least in terms of making Marion seem extremely uncertain about what might happen next. They both know that, regardless of what Marion claims about herself, the truancy officers dragging her back certainly don't see a seventeen-year-old. Nobody would look at her and think that.]

And it's not junk! It's important research! They can't take any of that.

[... She's pretty sure?]
foredoomed: (without a soul)

[personal profile] foredoomed 2017-01-24 10:19 pm (UTC)(link)
They would! That's what happens when you get grounded. They take away all your most fun things. All the stuff you like best.

[ She's laying this bit on particularly thick because it honestly seems like the only part that's actually working.

She even gives a mock gasp and covers her mouth. ]


They might even... throw it all in the garbage!
stuckinreverse: (Say what now?!)

[personal profile] stuckinreverse 2017-01-28 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
[She comes from the weirdest version of the 19th century ever. So while she should think it's a pretty childish threat, getting ~grounded~ and having her stuff taken away... the threat actually does kind of work.]

I... won't let them!

[Says the girl who couldn't stop the officer from carrying her back here.]
foredoomed: (WAKE ME UP)

[personal profile] foredoomed 2017-02-01 12:51 pm (UTC)(link)
What, you think you're gonna be able to stop them? If you make a big stink they might even throw out the rest of your stuff, too!

[ she doubts it but as long as she's got a threat that works on Marion she's going to milk it for all its worth. ]

And how are you gonna do all your magic crap then, huh?
stuckinreverse: (Oi~!)

[personal profile] stuckinreverse 2017-02-03 06:42 am (UTC)(link)
[She's not going to let any of that even possibly happen!]

Why don't you just quit playing along and help?! They listen to you!

[Marion, did you miss the part where Yoshiko wants to fit in as normal girls? The part where she insisted that she won't let you screw this up for her...?]
