  COFFEE SHOP MEET & GREET
An old and tired setting, but a fun one! Your character is inside a coffee shop, they could be anywhere in the known (or unknown!) universe(s). Start with a basic trope!

RULES
• Leave a comment with your character's name and fandom.
• RNG for a number between 1-10 to get your scenario/prompt. Mix and match!
• Have fun!
SCENARIOS & PROMPTS
MIX & MATCH AS MANY AS YOU LIKE!
001 LONER CUSTOMER |
 Who is that cutie sitting all by themselves? You can't resist saying Hi.
002 DAT BARISTA | 
Did you look up and suddenly see them over the cinnamon? Are they the reason you come back every single day? Is it a hot newbie screwing up your drink? Tap that.
003 RAINING & POURING |
 The downpour is horrendous! Quick, into the coffee shop where that strangely attractive person is and oh no they're hot. Don't drip on them, be cool! Be cool!
004 BOOKWORM 
Maybe that person isn't your type at all, you're just fascinated by the book they're reading. Strike up a conversation! Make a new friend!
005 SPILLAGES | You knock into the person you tag! Are they covered in hot scalding coffee now? Are you? Is EVERYONE?
006 SUMMER BERRIES | 
It's the middle of summer and boiling. People are half-dressed and sipping ice-cold fruit shakers, requesting ice to put on their body, sitting on tables in hotpants ... Yes, okay, this is Very Distracting.
007 QUEUE-JUMPING SATAN | 
You thought you could get away with it at lunch-hour, but you didn't count on them. PS, you're an asshole for trying.
008 MANAGEMENT & SOULCRUSHED | 
You either hired them and now it's time to ask that babe out or you're a recent employee and the boss has been making eyes at you.
009 LAPTOP HIPSTER |
 A prompt in and of itself.
010 WILD CARD |
 Your call.

The Reincarnated Lovers Meme
Everyone knows the feeling of when you see someone and you know you've seen them before. Isn't that a part of déjà vu? But what if the connection you have with that person goes beyond the superficial recognition of familiarity? Perhaps you were connected once...in the most intimate of ways. Some religions and philosophies believe in reincarnation of souls, and it's said that souls could be reincarnated together - once again to follow out the same path they did before.

Or maybe not. Maybe it could be a second chance for fixing things that went wrong before, like the a tragedy or circumstances keeping you apart. But can you take that chance? Do you even want to?

HOW TO PLAY
  • Comment with your character, stating preferences and pertinent information.
  • Tag around to others and roll the RNG to determine what your scenario will be.
    • The first roll determines the parameters of the "past life," the second the parameters of the "present life." The meme is intended to take place in the present, but there's nothing stopping you from playing out flashbacks to the "past."
  • Play out the scene!
  • WARNING: There will probably be triggers here.
 A. THE PAST
  1. Medieval: The two of you lived in the middle ages or an equal high fantasy setting. Kings, queens, knights, wizards, your doomed love was set among the sword and shield.
  2. Feudal Japan: During this time, honor reigned supreme and warriors lived and died by the sword. Perhaps the two of you lived here?
  3. War: World War I, World War II, World War...III? Whatever the tension was, the two of you weren't living in happy times.
  4. Not Human: You were gods, demons, monsters, angels - or at least one of you was.
  5. Sci-Fi: The two of you found love in a world of science and technology...maybe a base on the moon?
  6. Taboo: In a past life, the two of you were related, yet still somehow fell in love. Or perhaps there was a big age gap, or different social standings. Whatever it was, your affection was "wrong," somehow.
  7. Intended for Someone Else: One of you was engaged, intended, or taken by someone else.
  8. Not Allowed: For some reason, you couldn't have your love back then.
  9. Tragically Cut Short: Somehow, your love ended in tragedy and one of you died.
  10. Living Happily Ever After: The two of you grew old together, had a family, the whole shebang, and died of old age. As a reward, you get to be with your loved one again.
  11. WILDCARD or CHOOSE YOUR OWN
B. THE PRESENT
  1. (Not So) First Meeting: You could swear you've seen this person before...but where?
  2. Need to Be Near You: You don't know why, but you have to be close to this person, to protect them, to love them.
  3. Memories: You're having memories of your past life and it's freaking you out.
  4. The Reveal: Somehow, the truth is revealed to you about who you used to be and what you life was like with this person.
  5. But I'm Taken: Unfortunately, you've already moved on to someone else who doesn't fit into the picture of your past.
  6. You Have to Be With Me: You're determined to rejoin with your past lover...even if they're not interested.
  7. He Doesn't See Me: You're afraid your lover only sees the past "you" and not the you who exists now. Are they in love with a memory?
  8. Madness Ensues: It's getting hard for you to tell which life is the "real" one, the one you have now or the one in the past. Perhaps you only see one way of release: becoming reincarnated again.
  9. It All Worked Out: The battles are fought, the war is one. You've earned your happy ending in this life and the two of you can live together.
  10. WILDCARD or CHOOSE YOUR OWN

the LIFE TATTOOS AU meme

 
 
what if tattoos just randomly appeared on our skin at key points in our lives and we had to figure out what they meant for ourselves? (x)


i. the blank slate: you don't have any tattoos. are you relieved? upset you don't have anything to tell? do you imagine sometimes what they'd look like if you had them?

ii. the moment: a tattoo has just appeared. is it your first? one of many? what's happening in your life to make it show up?

iii. the reveal: you finally understand what that tattoo means. is it a good thing? a bad thing? or something bittersweet?

iv. the tale: you and someone else are sharing stories about your tattoos. do you tell the truth? lie? only listen and never speak?

v. soulmates: these are the tattoos you and your soulmates share: the ones that mark you as bonded for life. what are they like?

v. the wildcard: there are many as many options as you can have tattoos. here's a place to make your own story.
