MARVEL RANDOM SCENARIO MEME

rules
①Comment with your character. Feel free to intruce yourself real quick if you'd like! This meme is open to Marvel characters of all iterations, not just the MCU!
② Pick a scenario or use RNG and respond to others!
PLEASE MARK FOR INFINITY WAR SPOILERS. We want this to be a fun place for everyone to play without fear of being spoiled! In the same vein, feel free to let others know if you are Infinity War compliant!
④ Feel free to go completely off-script and make up whatever scenario you want. These prompts are just starting points! This meme is your oyster.
⑤ Have fuuuun!
scenarios
ACTION
① Skrull Invasion → You're on planet Earth and the Skrull are coming! Are you ready to fight? Perhaps the better question is...are you really sure your friends are who you think they are?
② Sparring → There's few better ways to see what you're made of than to face off against your fellow heroes! Enter the sparring ring and give it all you've got. Or perhaps you wind up facing an old friend in the Grandmaster's Contest of Champions!
③ Chitauri Assault → Time to take down hordes and hordes of alien goons! Maybe they brought their space whales, too. They're bringing the party to you!
④ In Pursuit → Your enemies are fleeing and it's up to you to pursue them and bring them to justice!
⑤ Heist → Time to steal that invaluable vibranium shipment before the bad guys do. You'll need all your best covert stealth skills to pull this one off.
⑥ Training → Power up the Danger Room and throw yourself and a partner into a training scenario of your choice! Just try to be careful in there. It is called the Danger Room, after all!
⑦ Mind Control → Against their will, one of your comrades has begun to attack you! Will you fight back and possibly harm someone you hold dear? Or will you stand down and open yourself up to danger?
⑧ Escape → You've been captured by your enemies! Or perhaps The Collector just added you to his museum. Time to find a way out!
ANGST
① Fallout → Heroism exacts a price, and it is often personal in nature. How do you cope with the fallout of your latest conflict? Was victory worth the price you paid? Or worse, did you lose?
② Injury/Illness → Even for the strongest of heroes, the battlefield can be tough. How's that broken arm healing up? That serious road rash? Or are you the one providing healing and comfort to one in need?
③ Last Moments → Somehow has gone terribly wrong and you are dying. What will you say? What will you do? Or perhaps you are the one holding your comrade in their final moments.
④ Betrayed → One of your teammates has betrayed you. How will you respond? Will you reach out and try to forgive, or will you fight the one you used to call an ally?
⑤ Fight → Sometimes, even your closest friends can become your enemies. Disagreements can lead to verbal, and perhaps even physical altercations. Or perhaps you're seeking reconciliation afterwards?
⑥ Worst Fears → Your worst fears have manifested around you. Maybe it's an illusion, but what if it's not? How can you go on faced with losing everything you care about?
⑦ Loss → You've lost. It's over. Maybe you're the only one left. Or...maybe you're not.
CRACK
① Speed-heroing → It's like speed-dating, but with heroes and friends, at the Avengers Facility. A possible catch: you can only introduce yourself as your alter ego.
② Dance Off → Maybe the fate of the universe hangs in the balance. Maybe you're just having a good time at a party. Either way, dance off, bro!
③ Team Building → Nothing boosts team morale like an outing to laser tag or paint ball! It's important to unwind every now and again, so why not shoot your super friends with a nerf gun for a change?
④ Party Bus → Are you up for a ride on Tony Stark's most technologically advanced party bus? Hope you're prepared to party like it's 2099. Also, it flies. Eat your heart out, Miss Frizzle.
⑤ Interdimentional Mixer → You're at this party but none of the people are the versions of themselves you expect them to be! What sort of timey-wimey tomfoolery is this? Why do all these universes have numbers?
⑥ Trapped in the Drive-thru → You're trapped in the drive-thru. All you wanted was an Egg McMuffin, dammit!
⑦ Truth Serum → You're forced to tell the truth! That secret you've been bottling up for years? Yup, it's coming out.
FLUFF
① Avenger's Tower → Remember that nice tower Tony Stark was working on before it got ditched for the New Avengers Facility? Everyone has their own room designed just for them! It's like a big sleepover and all your weird friends are invited.
② Reunion → It's been awhile since you've seen some of these people. Will you give them a hug? A hearty handshake? Try not to get too misty-eyed!
③ Movie Night → Grab the popcorn and a snuggly blanket! Are you watching the latest action flick with your friend? Or perhaps something a bit spooky so you can have an excuse to cuddle with your partner?
④ Confessions → It's time to tell the object of your affections how you feel about them! Don't get cold feet now. This is the moment you've been waiting for!
⑤ Stolen Glances → Maybe it's the first time, or maybe it's been going on for awhile now. Either way, there's someone you've been making eyes at, and...did their fingertips just brush yours?
⑥ Domestic Life → Hey, sometimes even Earth's Mightiest Heroes need to cook and clean. What's the occasion?
⑦ Hobby Exchange → Teach someone about a hobby you enjoy and they can teach you about one of theirs!
GEN
① Trip to Knowhere → Get ready to gamble and drink yourself dizzy! And if that's not your cup of tea, perhaps visit the Collector's Museum, where you are sure to see all sorts of strange specimens from across the galaxy.
② Shawarma → After any great battle, a hero must have their victory feast. Who's on the shawarma bandwagon this time?
③ New York Tourism → You're in New York! Whether this is your first time or you live here, there's plenty to see. Why not hit up the Statue of Liberty? Go to a Broadway show? Take a pic with Times Square Spider-Man?
④ Beach Party → It's the Beach Episode. Put on your swim trunks, get out the volleyball, and fire up the grill!
⑤ Late Night → You're up late and wondering around HQ. Do you stop in the kitchen for some midnight baking? Take a walk outside? Reprogram the whole facility so the AI only responds to your voice?
⑥ Capture the Flag → It's a game of Capture the Flag, and powers are off-limits. You wouldn't cheat, would you? Everyone here definitely plays fair.
⑦ Denny's → It's 2 A.M. and you're at Denny's. Sure, you feel like hell, but how about that Grand Slam?
WILDCARD
A scenario of your choosing! Go wild! Please remember to mark for spoiler warnings and/or any content warnings as applicable.

[ v open to aus that involve time travel shenanigans, whether that's peggy landing in the 21st century or your character showing up in the 40s. totally okay with assumed cr, first meetings, iw spoilers, etc. ]

Hi, Miss Carter! Agent Carter. Agent Peggy C — I'm Peter. I mean, Spider-Man. But Peter's cool, the other part's just my hero thing.

[As is Peter's usual social grace, he's so excited he's practically thrumming with youthful energies; even if Iron Man was always his favorite, he knows plenty about Captain America and the people who helped shape things into the way they are today. Agent Carter is totally a legend, and he's not about to act cool and composed and professional when she finds herself in the 21st century Stark Tower. He offers a hand and looks so hopelessly eager.]

I'm Mr. Stark's... 'ward', so, um. I'm filling in on the welcome wagon until he gets back.

His ward.

[ she slams such emphasis into the one word. confusion, apprehension, disbelief. it's disarming enough to be suddenly here and now; doubly disarming to be presented with so much bluster and enthusiasm wrapped up in one young package. luckily, peg has had some time to acclimatize to the tower -- if not the decade.

a dizzying too-many floors above the city streets, she's trying to find her way around a modern bells-and-whistles coffee machine. someone assured her it does tea, too, but she's struggling.

or was struggling. currently, she standing with an empty mug in one hand and a waggling gesture in the other before she capitulates and shakes peter's hand.

spider-man. ]


Are you quite certain you know what that means?

[This just in, Peter is still awful at talking to pretty ladies who are probably looking at him like he was just drinking bottles yesterday. Which, okay, he's not really making a great case for himself, is he? Flustered, he folds his arms.]

Um, unfortunately. Dr. Strange started calling me that, and then everyone just kind of followed suit, so. I guess if you can't beat 'em, join 'em, right? And anyway, there are worse things to be.

[He had his little rebellious fit, pre-Vulture. Post-Vulture, he's very much aware of his greenness. He's also gotten great at surviving minefield nicknames like Underoos and Lil Petey and 12 year old when they're stepped on. Bless him. He smiles a bit more earnestly, motioning to the cup in her hand.]

I can help you with that, if you want! Kind of a lot to take in. And Mr. Stark likes to make things needlessly complicated, so...

[personal profile] mucked 2018-05-15 05:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes. [ and she does commit her cup to his care, it seems, as she's more than willing to let him take over the tea-brewing duties. ] Starks are good at that. Complicating things.

[ half of what she sees around this building can be stomached on that premise alone: a stark is behind it. under any other circumstance, she might have already fainted from disbelief. but in the face of so much weirdness and so many trends, references, developments -- most of which she knows absolutely nothing about -- peggy has managed to maintain a remarkable stoicism.

it helps, of course, that the boy is broadcasting himself to be just about as unsettled as she feels. ]


Still. You could do better than ward.

[Peter takes the teacup to the needlessly complicated machine and starts right to work; he hadn't used it much but he's pretty intuitive about machinery and the tech in the Stark residence, mostly thanks to his penchant for figuring out these kinds of things — um, super spider suit notwithstanding. He still has to shoo Karen away from instant kill.

Also it spits out tea pretty dang fast. He turns and holds it in victory.]


Well, superhero's a pretty good one, I think. [He chuckles, shaking his head.] Let me tell ya, it's been a busy lifestyle. Even when it's just a day of stopping a robber or two, maybe helping a lady across the street — woo, it piles up with homework.

[Peter you're not making yourself sound very cool right now.

But he'd rather chatter about the small gigs than what had happened... — um.

What had happened.]

[personal profile] mucked 2018-05-17 03:45 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't envy you your balancing act.

[ she says with a wryness in her voice that suggests just might just maybe be taking the mick. but everything eases into something kinder once she's got the mug in hand and the first sip of tea on her lips. it's -- unlike what she's used to, admittedly. something lost in the bitterness, as though a higher quality product loses something as it also loses familiarity.

the water is scorching but she thinks nothing of another gulp. ]


Especially not in this city.

[Peter goes ahead and grabs a mug himself, filling it with — soda pop. The Parkers, you know, they don't have a lot of cash to go around, so any time Peter can sneak some refreshments instead of raiding Aunt May's hard-earned fridge stash? He's gonna go for it. Though he probably has to be forgiven for ruining the use of a mug with something as sugary and childish as pop.

And if she's teasing him for it, he doesn't seem to catch it, continuing with a sort of radiant interest in Peggy:]
Well, you have a lot more you balance. I'm just — y'know. But you, you're, like... You're really cool.

[He was gonna say legendary, but then... that might be weird to hear.]

[personal profile] mucked 2018-05-19 04:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[ her laughter isn't the happy kind. it's disquieted. it's uncomfortable. and she has to wonder what the history books say about her, in the end, that anyone should mistake her for someone with balance. peggy can remember terse smiles and telling housemates that she was married to her job. as far as she's concerned, that's not something that ever changed.

she's been agent carter above peggy carter for as long as she can remember, now. the other one, the younger girl who hadn't yet signed up yet, she evaporated the day her brother died. ]


Careful. [ she pauses. ] Pedestals are unbecoming for everyone. Both the people being put upon them and the ones doing it.

[Oh god he's already ruining this.]

Sorry, you're definitely right.

[... He'll just... secretly put her on a pedestal, they way he does just about every superhero he runs into; that's the fun of having a teenager around who looks up to heroes! He totally overdoes the fanboyisms. But he'll be good. Mouth zipped.

He considers the situation carefully, though. Now, what did Mr. Stark say...? "Try to keep her at the tower, kid, and whatever you do, don't go running off into New York City until I can at least sit down and have a conversation here. We don't need blah blah blah—"]


... Do you like Mexican food? If you're hungry and you don't wanna stay in this weird high-tech building, here's a really great place just down the street. Mr. Stark's not gonna be back until after his — meeting thing, in Brazil. So.
