What would your character do in the above situation?

Bjorn: try to focus. Heatlance the chains. Find a pair of pants. Plot revenge.

Future!Kilo: which hand am I chained with? Right? Ditch it, find something that can be turned into a lockpick, free the bionic limb, find a pair of pants, plot revenge. Left? Let's check if the bionic arm has enough finger strength to break a chain link. Then find a pair of pants and plot revenge.

Contemporary!Kilo: find something that can be turned into a lockpick. Break free. Find a pair of pants. Plot revenge.

This is a normal Tuesday morning for Heron. He wishes he had his phone, though, so he could call Zehra.

Zehra is also not all that bothered. Whoever locked her in the bathroom apparently reads on the toilet, so she's got enough literature to entertain her for a couple of hours.

Abby is more than a little terrified. But it's not like she'd tell anyone that. After successfully making her way out of her chains, she slips herself into a towel and into the night, and tries to forget it ever happened.

Your characters is lost in the depths of Costco

If RO is lost, then clearly no-one will ever find him. This is good. He can spend the rest of his existence, however long this may be, living off Costco products and hiding from people. Good life for an undead we-don't-really-know-what-it-is. Of course, he'd get bored pretty quickly, and attempt to find a way out - while avoiding staff and clients. For years, RO would be an urban legend of this particular warehouse, until finally he'd find a wall and go right through it, which, given his size, could bring the entire place down. If this happened, RO would quickly make himself scarce and escape with a few dozen bags of clothing to supply him for years to come.

It's the dead of the night and your character enters a pub they've never been to before. After a few moments someone locks the door behind them and they realize that the entire staff and all clients are actually zombies, eating zombie food, singing zombie songs, drinking zombie beer. They're not trying to eat your character - yet. What do?

Thoma attempts to gauge how potentially dangerous the situation is by striking up small talk with the zombies, and ultimately either plays it cool and politely asks someone to help him and his cute lady friend Lily leave the establishment, or else the two of them React into Thoma's Super Mode before kicking/Wave-Motion Gun-ing the door down and proceeding to GTFO.

Your character has been accused of a crime they didn't commit, and are now a fugitive from the law. What now, skippy?

Kati immediately sets out to find whoever is responsible and beat on them (and possibly any not-too-innocent-seeming family or friends) until they agree to fix the mess. If that fails, she'll kill them and do her best to clear her name on her own, The Fugitive style.

Kai goes into hiding and attempts to leverage as much of his family's considerable resources as he can access without his parents discovering his location towards figuring out who implicated him. Then he'll deal with it based on who's at at fault.

You didn't provide a question.

This actually kicks off the plot of one of my stories. Crown prince Orzaf and his entourage are accused of Treason, Regicide, Terrorism, and Escaping Imprisonment. In actuality, the new imperial government is responsible for all but one of the above(escaping prison). The escaped group form a La Résistance, the Azure Knights, and try to get the other nations of the world to form an anti-imperial coalition.

A cat is stuck up a tree. What does your character do?

Oh crap, I totally forgot!

Feyte would climb up the tree right then and there, use her abilities to calm the cat down, and rescue it.

Jess would call the fire department. If the department isn't available, she'd send her boyfriend to get it, and if he's not around, then she'd go herself.

Your character's closest friend or love interest has been abducted. A ransom demand appears for massively more than they can pay on their own, with the promise that the kidnapee will be killed if the money isn't in by tomorrow

Well, something similar pretty much happened in canon to AC, with Calia, the daughter of the president as the kidnap victim.

Long story short, AC hacked the network to locate the kidnappers, quietly infiltrate their base, and killed them all before they could do a thing to Calia. Except the mastermind, who was interrogated.

As soon as the interrogation was over, The mastermind had the "honor" of being shown messily executed on every TV screen on Terra 102. That was to Make an Example of Them.

Your character switches places with another of your characters from another work

The first thing Orzaf notices is the large crowds. Then he notices the tall buildings. He starts asking people questions, under the guise of a lost tourist. He quickly finds out that he's not in Balamar City anymore, he's in a place called Shibuya. And that he needs to find a pawn shop to make some quick yen, because his money won't be accepted as valid(but can be sold due to being gold).

Due to being mistaken for an enemy, Junko winds up fighting through a group of Imperial Guardsmen with her magical powers. She ends up attracting the attention of the Azure Knights, who assist in getting the guards off her back.

You character finds a lost child looking for their mother. What do they do?

edited 8th May '16 7:25:08 PM by WillDeRegio

This is a known hazard on Terra Nova, given that people from Earth frequently find themselves arriving in some random location dizzy, disoriented and alone.

The "Mad Bastards" (Kris, Teri, Peggy, James, Karl and Wolfe) would make every effort to console the child and would take the child back to their (the Mad Bastards') house for food then set things in motion for the child to be adopted by a caring couple who can facilitate the child's integration into their new home and help the child come to terms with having permanently left Earth to live on a strange and sometimes dangerous world.

Peggy would be especially understanding and compassionate as she arrived on Terra Nova when she was only 12 and would have a pretty good idea of how the child must feel.

Liam would be cautious at first, sometimes lost children turn out to be mystical creatures out to get you lost wherever or steal your stuff/organs. If the child turns out to be genuine, he would utilize any identification the kid has, cross reference missing children reports, and ensure the child has a nice stay at AEGIS HQ.

Orzaf would take the child into the protection of the Azure Knights, and make inquires with his connections in the underground to locate the kid's parents.

Junko would spend the day taking the kid around town, looking for the kid's mom.

Your character is in a bank. A group of guys in ski masks come in with guns. What does your character do?

Carnage murders all of the bank robbers, and then immediately turns around and murders the innocent bystanders too — For the Evulz, of course.

Your character is confronted by an evil version of themselves hailing from the future, who is very intent on having a battle to the death RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW.

Your character is confronted by an evil version of themselves hailing from the future, who is very intent on having a battle to the death RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW.

Aenlen Once Noble is consumed by shame and despair, as he realizes his suspicions are justified - he is indeed much the monster as the one he tried to hard to destroy. After only a moment, his sadness turns to tranquility and grim determination; he cannot let this come to pass. He calmly walks up to his future self and drops his weapon to the ground. This throws the villainous version into a homicidal rage - the notion that, after all this time, the self-righteous prick he used to be is willing to simply roll over and die. With great fury, he rushes blindly forward, allowing the real Once Noble to step aside, grasp him by the throat, pin him to the ground and pulverize him with nothing but his gauntlets.

As he stands over the corpse of the man he tried so hard never to become, Once Noble kneels, picks up his blade, and drives it through his heart. The method of honorable suicide some dishonored kinghts of his realm practiced in the old days. Again calmly and serenely, he allows this wound, one that normally an undead such as himself would find inconsequential, to kill him. As he lays dying for the second time, a single tear rolls down his cheek. He has failed again, and this time there will be no second chance. But in his failure to accomplish his mission, he has prevented a greater evil from being formed. The Dread Knight Once Noble, will never be more than a whisper of time that never was, a rumor on the lips of those who catch, for a fleeting instance, a glimpse of that which never could be.

Apologies for the long and relatively depressing response. This might be the first time I've written a story-like thing in one sitting.

Your character finds them-self faced with a difficult choice - their best friend and lover are chained to the wall before them. Your character is given a gun with one bullet. A man behind them, touching a gun to their head, gives them a choice. Shoot your friend, shoot your lover, or I kill all three of you.

edited 9th May '16 4:04:24 PM by Oudynfury

Kiarn would shoot her lover. She's already killed her best friend once, she can't bring herself to do it again. Besides, she knows that objectively the friend is a better person and her lover is more likely to understand.

Mallena would quickly but carefully evaluate the situation while trying to talk them down, see if she thought there was any way she could take the person forcing her into the choice out. If there wasn't, she'd try to decide if shooting herself instead would satiate this person's bloodlust. Again, if that wouldn't help and there was no overwhelmingly pragmatic reason to choose one over the other (if, say, one person was seriously injured and the other was fine, she'd shoot the injured one since it's less likely they'll make it through whatever else the person has planned), then she would do her best to decide randomly, apologizing the whole time.

Your character comes home one night to find that not only do they have virtually no food left in the house, but they're starving. It's late enough that most or all of the stores nearby are closed and it's snowing pretty hard. What do they do?

edited 9th May '16 5:03:20 PM by Ashfire

Norma would eat her pet guinea pig, pan-fried and spiced. She has no shame.

Declan has a whole stash of junk food stashed in his wardrobe, he'll be fine...except Abby has already raided it. Speaking of which, she hasn't seen him since he came home. She's pretty he's locked himself in the bathroom. He might be crying.

Your character comes homes to find their house infested with puppies

edited 12th May '16 4:25:47 PM by trashconverters

Let me try for the last 4...

AU!Reaper would accept. Since he's currently a Wetware CPU, and his future self is himself with his humanity regained, but with a cybernetic brain that remotely controls a suit similar to AU!Reaper... he'd just attempt to avoid the enemy robot while landing a fatal blow to kill his evil, future human self, who is as squishy as a normal human for the most part.

He'd then lament about why his future self, after having removed the evil science divisions along with the help of his friends, would turn to evil like that.

Adult!Dia would smirk, and turn around to shoot the guy. The guy attempts to fire, his gun "conveniently" jams, and she kills the captor by shooting him in the heart, before consuming his soul (it's what Gifted do to survive). She'd then free her friend and lover, who would probably be horrified but understanding of what she did.

Being a Gifted with probability manipulation helps a lot.

AU!Reaper would deactivate his Invisibility Cloak right behind the man and use his dual Laser Blades to messily cut the gun-wielding hand, then head off his neck before he can fire a shot. Most likely, the "Reaper" being forced to shoot his lover or friend is a Hard Light projection by a drone, and the actual, real one is invisible behind the villain, just waiting to strike. If that isn't, he can still turn invisible while planting a Hard Light clone behind to confuse his captor before assassinating him.

Procyon would do a similar thing to Reaper via Invisibility Cloak and Hard Light projections, only that the man would get a nasty shock to his head until it explodes. This would actually horrify the friend and lover, since Procyon is only 10 and he just made somebody's head explode.

Siege? Everybody except Siege dies horribly as the big brainless brute leans backwards to crush the guy as the bullet harmlessly hits his robotic head (without any vital components), then fires all his heavy ordnance everywhere in frustration.

Calia would question and scold her butlers for failing to replenish the food supply, then go out into the snowstorm for nourishment. As part ice-elemental, she'd absorb cold and snow to regenerate herself faster.

Adult!Dia would do something similar to Calia, being Calia's daughter and all.

AU!Reaper mainly needs sunlight to survive, so that isn't really a problem... except that the snowstorm really takes away the sunlight. Using his last power reserves, he would probably try to find a way to fly above the snowstorm and recharge in the sun if it's day, otherwise he'd go into standby mode if it's night.

Procyon would go to the nearest power plug and plug himself in there. His main food is electricity.

AU!Reaper has taken care of a shapeshifting "dog" before, and he's kinda iffy with it. He'd probably find a way to call the SPCA to take care of the puppies.

Calia would call the authorities to find the owner, or if no owner is found, a new home for the puppies. She's not fond of taking property that shouldn't be hers.

Melanie would immediately care for all of them. She's a nice and kindhearted girl... and would probably forget that they might have an owner. If the owner does come, she'd probably return the puppies back to them.

Rae would also take care of the dogs but would try to see if they have an owner first. If yes, she'd return them to the owner unless the owner doesn't want them. Like Melanie, she's also a very nice girl.

Your character wakes up and realizes that they've been living in a virtual simulation for all this while.

For Wolfe, that would certainly go a long way towards explaining why he apparently suddenly disappeared from Earth and appeared on a strange Anachronism Stew world with people from different eras but would then raise other puzzling questions such as "who did it?", "how did they get him?" and "why?"

He'd be royally pissed off and see it as a rotten trick designed to deliberately fuck with his mind - he's been through a lot of emotional upheaval coming to terms with losing his family and life on Earth and to discover that it was all a fraud and he could have been with his family all along would probably send him into a rage.

He'd want to track down those responsible and subject them to levels of physical pain comparable with the hardships and pain he had to endure.

Same

The Detective would be sort of relieved; he was never really cut out to be a hero. On the other hand, he would really miss his girlfriend. Jeez, at least let the guy have a real girlfriend!

Billiards would be very glad to be freed of her Reality Warper powers, because aside from that she's really quite normal. Being a god is pretty much the only thing preventing her from being a human, actually. She'd be happier.

The Bird would be furious to have her Reality Warper powers torn from her, because aside from that she's really quite normal. They were pretty much the only thing saving her from being human! She'd be miserable.

Cande would just want to know that her family was safe, and that she could go home. She would be quite glad that the whole thing was fake— though more than a little peeved that she had been put through all that for no reason!

Your characters are in a high school biology class, and the time has come for the traditional amphibian dissection. Will they Free the Frogs?

Moka kind of wants to, but also recognizes that it would be wrong of her to sabotage her classmates' education. Generally lacking much in the way of spine/initiative, this causes her to pretty much just sit on the bench and meekly participate in as much of a non-involved manner as possible; re: the one who keeps themselves clean in order to take notes. Meanwhile, her Smug Super alter ego is laughing at her.

Yukari has absolutely no moral qualms with the situation at all, and gleefully pokes and prods as much as she can, For Science!!

Jotaro, Mizore, and Kurumu pretty much don't care about the topic one way or another, and Tsukune's more worried about the biology teacher finding out he's a human and suddenly deciding that it's time for an impromptu home economics lesson.

Same

Not only will Karanni not free the frogs, but she'll volunteer to be the one to kill hers and anyone else's who will let her.

Bryyn will also not free the frogs, but won't take any particular pleasure from killing them, either. If someone else does it, she'll probably sit passively, grabbing any that come her way but not actively helping recapture them.

Your character attends a conference and finds them staying with a stranger's family in a town they've never been to before.

Heron becomes very hygiene conscious. As in, he's conscious his hosts would find it really weird if he didn't brush his teeth, and bathe, and all that stuff he normally wouldn't bother with.

Zehra immediately warms to the children and becomes their cool, honorary aunt within an afternoon.

Max cleans their bathroom and makes tactless comments about the children's weight.

Your character is forced to participate in the Eurovision Song Contest

Liam pretty much goes, "Sure, why not," and uses his multilingual prowess to sing a song in multiple languages(Spanish, French, German, Italian, Dutch, Swedish, and English).

Junko at first is wondering how she got roped up into this, but collaborating with her friends, manages to pull off a very catchy J-pop-esque song, with Surprisingly Good English, and modifies her normal outfit to one more appropriate for the setting.

Your character's house has been infested with rats. What do they do?

Simon starts wondering who placed the rats here until he comes to a conclusion that fits the grander conspiracy.

Julia runs out of the house and calls an exterminator.

Boris merely says "I've had worse company" and continues as normal.

Mary uses magic and a poorly-played flute to Pied-Piper the rats out of the house.

Post-Sacrifice Mary uses sympathetic magic to bind the lives of all the rats to that of one rat, then burns said rat alive. This causes all of the rats to fall over, dead from massive internal burns.

Your character gets mugged at gunpoint.

Calia would either force the guy to submit if she's in a good mood, or outright crystallize him if she's in a bad mood. She wouldn't have to worry if the bullet is metal, as she'd absorb metal thanks to being part Earth-elemental.

Amber would disarm the guy and then immolate him furiously.

Reaper would leave a Clone Drone (Hard Light projected doppelganger) of himself behind while he pulls on his Invisibility Cloak... before punching the mugger in the head while cloaked to knock him out.

Procyon would project a Hard Light hologram of a wall inside the gun to jam it, then knock the guy out with his shock lance set to stun.

Avatar!Traveller would just put up his invisible shields until the mugger runs out of bullets, then probably hand over some money to the poor chap for pity's sake.

Your character finds themselves lost at sea.

Simon starts rowing, while contemplating how the lizard overlords managed to get him here.

Boris starts rowing, then hitches a ride with Somali pirates, using his knowledge of Arabic to get back to the mainland.

Julia waits until she can determine which way the sun is heading, use that to gain her rough orientation and then starts rowing in the way that she thinks would best be able to get her to land.

Mary asks the spirits of the sea politely to bring her home, alongside putting in a nice word for Mannan mac Lir and Saint Nicholas.

Post-Sacrifice Mary forms a rope out of her own shadow, reins in a wave spirit in the form of a horse and rides it to shore. When she arrives, the spirit dies painfully, as it was being pushed beyond its intended point of death.

Sorry if I'm dominating the thread here, I'm just having a lot of fun with this.

Your character is on a hike to the top of a very tall mountain.
