If you could be any you, who would you be? [OPEN]

[radiopalkiller]

Who: EVERYBODY!
Where: TV Wonderland
When: June 29th - July 1st
Rating: anything from Teletubbies to Game of Thrones
Summary:
As announced this will be a catch-all post for shorter scenes, commercials, or things you simply don't want to make an entry for.

1. If you want to involve your character in anything and everything, leave a blank comment with them and see what others drag them into! Other characters will respond and set a random scene for the two (or three or seven) of you.


2. If you only have one particular thing in mind then set it up in a comment and wait for replies of anybody who wants to play along with the idea and stumble into that scene in their next response (or mark the thread CLOSED if you already have participants in mind)!

The Story:
Over the course of the event, everyone will be forced to act out various stereotypical roles and common tropes. The setting immediately around them will change randomly into settings from cliche popular media, complete with mediocre side-character NPCs who will never break character. It will become clear very quickly that they are expected to act out a particular role in the scene. They might be expected to be a tough cop, or a handsome sexy doctor, or someone’s evil twin come back from the dead, or any number of terrible tropes – and these tropes do not necessarily have anything to do with who the character is or what they do for a living. They could be the most innocent person and suddenly find themselves forced into the role of a hardened criminal.

Comments

Philip spits out an incredulous laugh and stares at Dean in disbelief, and not just because Belgian waffles have absolutely nothing to do with Belgium beyond their name.

"Because they... are depressed and horny."

The disbelief in his voice falters at the sight of the graph, and the weak smile that crosses his face when he glances at the audience almost looks like a silent cry for help.

The comment reserved for Dean is nowhere near as reluctant.

"We could've had ghosts, or werewolves, or demons, or anything but this," he hisses in Dean's ear and takes the diagram from his hands.

Faintly Philip probably recalls a time when he would have been grateful for the opportunity to talk his way out of a situation, rather than engage in a potentially lethal confrontation with the supernatural, but that time lies long dead and buried. These days he has developed a grim appreciation for any problem that can be made to disappear with the pull of a trigger.

Instead this one requires-- Actually, better not think of a word for it, that'll get his mood down faster than whatever candy drops they're selling can lift it back up. No, better to close his eyes and pretend he is giving the most ridiculous lecture of his life. Because there's no getting out of here otherwise.

"Recent studies show that over 37% of all Americans suffer from a combination of depressive mood disorder and erectile dysfunction. However, most pharmaceuticals used to combat these issues can be difficult to manage, be overly expensive, or have unpleasant side effects."

Philip shoots Dean a sharp look. Your turn, have fun with it.

[righteously]

Dean takes the time to shoot Philip a helpless look. It's not his fault! Even though it... kind of is, but still. Dean doesn't have any more control over these things than Philip does, and it's all written right there in his expression as he passes the graph over.

"Oh, please, like I'm dancing the friggin' La Bamba over here." He hisses it back defensively, quickly, before pulling back to smile painfully at the audience again. This is the worst. It's legitimately the worst possible friggin' thing, he hated it when it was happening and he hates it now. As a matter of fact, if he never, ever sees a studio audience again, it'll be too damn soon.

He returns Philip's sharp look with a flat one, like they're creating a goddamn symphony of failure together. Whatever. He can do side effects. "It's true, Dr. Phil. Studies show that other drugs can have a whole mess of problems. Nausea, heartburn, indigestion, upset stomach, diarrhea-" Wait, no, that's all the shit Pepto Bismal fixes. "-High blood pressure, heart attacks, high mortgage rates, inflation, flat tires, badger attacks, the moon. All directly caused by taking Viagra just once. Lift! doesn't have any side effects, because it's all natural, isn't that right, buddy?"
