WARNING: THIS MEME DEALS WITH DISTURBING/GROSS TOPICS. PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Use random.org to decide on a movie and then one of the prompts that follow. Or just choose one and play it out! Or, if you want to cover all the prompts in a movie subject, feel free! Additionally, if you want to use any of the locations provided, go ahead! If you just want to play in those settings, go right ahead!

If there's something on here that you don't see listed and you want to play it, go ahead!

01) SAW:

a) You and a friend/relative/acquaintance have woken up in a dark, dingy room and are chained together - quite literally. Will you be able to get out or is this your final moment? Better hurry up because the clock's ticking.

b) Perhaps you decided to lock this person up and test them to see if they really do appreciate their life. Will you listen to their pleas for help or just sit back and watch them suffer?

c) Congratulations! You survived your trap! Now, how has your life changed or are you still committing the same crime you were judged for months later?

02) Final Destination:

a) You have just seen your friends/loved ones die in horrific ways in the area you're at. Do you try to save who you can and be labeled as batshit or do you just accept your fate?

b) It seems like Death is claming its' victims one by one and you two are next. Do you try to outrun it, thinking you can escape Death or decide that it's your time to go?

c) Lucky you. The two of you have managed to elude Death for all this time. But, it seems like Death has other plans for you. Better watch yourself.

03) The Ring:

a) You've received a mysterious tape from a friend. Do you decide to watch it with a friend or try to destroy it? Though, a phone call will result with someone saying, "Seven days..."

b) Thought it was just a fluke? Guess again. A creepy girl starts to climb out of your TV and wants to kill you. What do you try to do?

c) You've survived! But, wait - someone's deciding to watch this very same tape! Stop them before it's too late!

04) Battle Royale:

a) You and someone else have just woke up in a strange room on the promise you're going on a vacation. And now, someone's telling you that this is a game for a television show and you're the star. You're given a weapon, but do you decide to go through with killing everyone else in this room or try to fight through the influence?

b) You've decided to go through with killing these people. After all, all you want to do is go home to your family, right? But, your best friend is your target now. What will you do?

c) Good luck on surviving the program! Or is it really the end? It seems like The Program isn't done screwing with you yet. Do you take who you can and hightail it to another country or resign yourself to another round of it?

05) The Birds:

Oh no, the birds have gone batshit! Do you try to deal with them yourself like the badass you think you are or do you take cover and hide?

06) A Nightmare on Elm's Street:

a) Last night you had the craziest dream! You were stalked through a dark boiler room by a severely burned figure with sharp knives attached to the fingers on a glove on his right hand. Your pursuer closes in and slices you, but just as he's about to do you in you woke up. But wait, why do you have cuts in your pajamas? That didn't really happen, right...? Maybe you should talk to a friend about this. Hope the same thing didn't happen to them....

b) So you've succesfully managed to pull the psycho killer out of his dream world and into reality. He's only human. Hope you have a good plan and those booby traps you and your friend set up around the house will get the job done.

c) Congrats! You survived and your friends who were all brutally murdered have magically come back to life! How do you cope with this? At least it will be safe to sleep now. Or is it...?

07) Paranormal Activity:

a) A good friend of yours recently told you that they've been haunted by some sort of presence for as long as they can remember and... it's not exactly friendly. Problem is, they just moved and they're pretty sure whatever it was has followed them to their new home. They sound pretty worried, but there's no way any of this is real, right? Maybe you should head over and set up some cameras. If anything it'll make your friend feel better and you can both get a good laugh out of it.

b) So. Something actually showed up on that tape and you've been told that this presence isn't a ghost. Oh no, it's something much worse. You've got a demon after you. It feeds off of negative energy and is intent on tormenting you no matter where you go. You probably shouldn't provoke it. Who knows what'll happen.

c) You and a friend have come across a series of tapes. They look to be home videos, amateur paranormal investigations of someone's home. What you see on them is... disturbing to say the least. Deformed shadows on the walls, doors opening and closing on their own, screeches and screams coming from something that is clearly not human. The more you watch, the worse it gets and it quickly becomes apparent that whoever filmed this is most likely dead. What do you do with this information? Do you go investigate yourself? Turn the tapes over to the police? Or maybe just write it all off, believe it's not real. It's gotta be an indie film or something, man.

08) Silent Hill:

a) You've just received a letter from a friend/sibling/parent/lover/significant other. Problem is, they're, well how to put this gently... they're kind of dead. The letter tells you to meet them in some town you've never heard of. Maybe you feel guilty, maybe you think it's some sort of sick trick and want to go punch whoever sent the letter in the face, or maybe... maybe you're just curious, but whatever your reason, you do as the letter says. Upon your arrival you run into someone who looks oddly familiar...

b) It's been hours and you're no closer to finding out the truth behind this letter than you were when you arrived. You decide to explore an abandoned hotel and as you search it you come across a videotape. You're hesitant to watch it, but this could give you more information. But... wait... is that you? And this other person... it's the one who sent you the letter. Wait. Wait. Why does it look like you're killing them?

c) Oh, crap. Pyramid Head is around the corner. Better start running!

01) Graveyard: Pretty spooky place to be at this time of night, huh? Hopefully this place isn't haunted by evil spirits or inhabited by a serial killer on the loose!

02) Mental Institution: Even with this place being abandoned, you can't help but hear the moans and screams of previous patients in these walls. Perhaps there's some deep, dark secret you can uncover here or maybe you'll also end up losing your own mind.

03) Abandoned Theme Park: Everything here is rusted completely, but you swear you can hear the screams of children on rides, among other things. Do you decide to investigate the place and try to figure out the secrets or do the sounds of kids screaming spurs something deep inside you?

04) Haunted House: Oh, boy! Let's go exploring! It seems like the wallpaper is already peeling and... what's that metallic smell coming from the basement? And what's with the doors opening and slamming closed? Hope you have a flashlight handy to make it through the night.

05) Church: Such a beautiful place, isn't it? But, are you sure you aren't hearing voices in an area where it's supposed to be quiet? Or, for that matter, are you sure you're not hallucinating seeing a god? And, it seems like the doors are closed already...

06) Random Area: You wake up in an unfamiliar location with there being no one around. The sheriff isn't in town, nor is the mayor or, quite frankly, anyone but another poor sap that woke up in this area. Hopefully you two can make it out of here alive before becoming a part of the town like the other visitors.

07) Hotel: There was nothing in sight for miles, so you and a friend decided to stop by at this rinky dink motel with the lights flickering every so often and everyone else just seeming complacent about being stuck in such a place. Perhaps there's something omnious about the bathroom's smell or what reeks in your room. At least there's HBO.

08) Zombies: Looks like popular media wasn't kidding when they said the undead would rise again in your town. Hope you have what you need to fend off the zombies and know what to do against them!

No real interest in movies 3, 4, 5 or 6, but you might be able to convince me otherwise if you have a good idea for them. (I'm just going off of what Loki would react to. Can you really see him being alarmed by a girl coming out of a video tape, or Freddy Krueger?)

[ silent hill? the entire name of that town suggested no shortage of "creepy" and maybe a bit of "unimaginative".

but erik had received the letter, and whilst he wasn't one to usually follow the simple, written word, this one was different.

a lead, something to cling to, something to focus his revenge upon. singed by a german, it promised information on where to look for shaw, but it was requested that they met at the town of silent hill, west virginia, usa. it irritated erik to no end that someone else was setting the conditions of their rendez-vous, but... information was information, and revenge was still just that. his rage, though now a bit more controlled, was still there, coiling just below the surface, and it was just enough to push all the thoughts and reasons of why he shouldn't go and how it might be a trap to the back of his mind.

though he was careful about not telling charles. perhaps even not thinking about it while in his friend's presence. though that proves easier said than done, and he's sure glimpses of the letter must've flickered through his mind. question was, did charles see them?

regardless, erik ensured that when he left, he left without alerting anyone, and without telling anyone where he was heading. regardless of how it went down, it wouldn't be a long trip. a mere several days, at best.

but then he found the town. or, more likely, nearly crashed his car into it when the thick fog set in.

and in some misfortunate steps, he finds himself inside a building now. a hospital, by the looks of it. old, decrepit, abandoned, just like the rest of the town.

it sets his teeth on edge, makes his shoulders tense with the frustration of falling for some lie.

and then he sees the creatures. not mutants, not quite. or perhaps so much so, that any reason in them is gone. and there's no remorse when he severs their heads with a pipe he's willed his way.

there's a noise behind him, a rustle. which makes him spin on his heels, the metal pipe turning around with him, with the way of his hand, aiming, but not firing.

because well: ]

Charles?!

[ after waking up in the center of the city square, she's been wandering the streets for what feels like an eternity -- her feet certainly think so, at least; they're aching uncomfortably, and after knocking on a few doors (which no one came to open, of course), peering in through more than a handful of windows to stare into empty, dark kitchens, she sits down to take her shoes off and rub the soles of her bare feet.

there doesn't seem to be a single soul present -- it's definitely some twisted kind of nightmare, right? -- so she finally gives up on searching. simply giving a heavy sigh, she raises her voice to call out into ... the lack of a crowd. ]

... Charles?

[ a beat, then, quieter: ]

Anyone?

[ Welcome to the glorious Burj Khalifa hotel. Biggest, most amazing hotel in existence. The view is incredible, the hotel is amazing, and it's fucking on fire. Over one hundred floors of death lie below, dozens more floors of death lie above, and here stand a few remaining individuals clinging to life. It won't be long before the hotel succumbs to damage and brings everyone down with it; no one even knows why this is happening... But it is.

The Joker had been one of the few fleeing from whatever this was after them, and it had managed to corner him here. It wasn't like he had much of a choice, anyway. He'd plan to turn left and something would explode. He planned to run right and there would be gunfire. Fleeing had guided him right here, to this place, surrounded by screaming, shouting, death, and fire. ]

... Perhaps a plan would have been an, ah, essential aspect to this whole day. Hah, oops.

[ her first reaction to being put on a children killing reality show goes something like this: you have to be kidding me. but then the blood starts flowing, and she sees her classmates murdering each other with guns, knives, and even the odd frying pan. being the smart girl that she is, she decides to high tail it out of there and find somewhere to hide, wait until all this is over and then go back home.

after awhile she concludes that staying in one place for too long is a risk in itself, and decides to move. lydia quietly moves through the forested area of the game's perimeter barefoot, having deemed that wearing heels was entirely inappropriate in this sort of situation.

she freezes when she spots someone standing in a nearby clearing, his build seems familiar and she makes the quick decision to move closer. a sigh of relief, she knows him, and he won't hurt her-- ]

Jackson!

[ and she steps into the clearing, relief evident in her features.]
