You and whoever else have been given a magic vase as a gift. This vase periodically emits clouds of gas that have various effects, as listed below. Whether one or both of you got dosed and how long the effects last is up to you. It could be just until you get a good breath of clean air, it could be forever.

1 - Happiness - Whoever inhales this gas is overcome with laughter and giggles.
2 - Despair - Whoever inhales this gas is suddenly overcome by the tragedy of life and usually will collapse into a sobbing heap on the floor.
3 - Lust - Whoever inhales this gas is suddenly overcome by the desire to get it on with the nearest person of the appropriate gender. Or, if you got a defective one, even a normally inappropriate gender.
4 - Forgetfulness - Whoever inhales this gas will suddenly be unable to remember what they were doing or talking about just a minute ago.
5 - Rage - Whoever inhales this gas will be overcome by the urge to beat the everloving tar out of the first person around.
6 - Fear - Whoever inhales this gas will find everything he/she sees to be a thing of horror and fear.
7 - Apathy - Whoever inhales this gas will be unable to work up an interest in anything happening around them.
8 - Pride - Whoever inhales this gas thinks they are the hottest shit since sliced bread.
9 - Love - Whoever inhales this gas wants to write poems for and give presents to the nearest person of the appropriate gender. Or, if you got a defective one, even a normally inappropriate gender. If you're feeling very daring you might even try holding their hand.
10 - Body Swap - When two people inhale this gas at the same time, they suddenly find themselves in the other person's body! Hopefully doing it again will switch you back, but who knows when the vase will activate a second time!

THE AGE MEME</center>

Oh look at that. Through some sort of strange trickery, you've been changed physically, and are no longer at your normal age! Well, this is kind of <strike>cliche</strike> problematic, innit? How will you and your threadmate handle THIS situation? Or maybe your threadmate is the one affected? Or both of you? Do you retain your normal memories and skills, or do you complete change with the age? It's up to you.

Here's how it works: On an RNG, roll one of the following numbers. (Note that if your character is already the age listed, consider it a reroll.)

1. You're an infant! We hope you've been keeping diapers around for this sort of clearly expected situation.

2. You're a toddler! Ah, the terrible twos...

3. You're a kid! Time for some playground antics!

4. You're a preteen or teenager! OH GOD HORMONES.

5. You're a young adult! PARTY DOWWWWN.

6. You're middle-aged! Time to buy that red hot convertible that is in no way compensating for your lack of virility.

7. You're old! OOOOOOOOLD!

8. You keep rapidly shifting between ages! This can't be healthy.

<div style="text-align: center;"> The Date From Hell Meme <img src="http://i.imgur.com/b9Nyl.jpg" alt="" /> </div><div style="text-align: left;">Sometimes things don't go as they should, whether the time is wrong, or the place, or maybe you ended up sitting across from a weirdo or a creep. Do you grin and bear it, make your escape, or hope maybe there's something worth sticking around for? Rules are simple, First Post your characters and any preferences. Then use Random.org or a set of dice and roll up the scenario, and optionally the location! And tag which ever character strikes your interest, have fun! <cut text="Sometimes it's not candy hearts and champagne">SCENARIOS: 1. Liar, Liar, Pants on fire: Whether it's an outdated photo, a sliiiight exaggeration of one's job (Hospitality Organizer and Public Relations is a fancy way to say Bellhop) or out and out fabrication, they're not who they told you they are. Question is, is this real person as good as the fake? 2. Bait and Switch: So you're set up to date Jim, but Bob shows up instead - what the heck? 3. Check please! No Wait: Oops, somebody forgot their money, and it's time to pay up, or someone locked their keys in their car, either way this bout of forgetfulness is going to make this night a pain 4. Oh yeah, I'm married: Everything's going along swimmingly! Until you (or they) accidentally mention their wife/husband/lover/lifemate... Do their significant other know about this? 5. Well this certainly isn't the Ritz: Person's actually kind of decent, not bad, but seriously? the place they're taking you to is awful! It's too loud/too stuffy/too kiddy/too likely to be raided by the police. Just try to survive and don't eat the fish. 6. Wait... this is a DATE date?: One of you is looking for romance, but turns out the other person just wanna hang out - aaaaawkward 7.EEEEEeeew TMI: "Let me tell you about my last eight engagements/man I hope this chili won't send me to the toilet at 3 AM." And it just keeps on coming, and coming, everything you didn't want to know, you're getting to know 8. A Pity Date is Worse then No Date: The only reason this date is happening because someone's under the impression the other person needs some companionship/feel good, and the subject of the pity will find out quick. 9. Absolutely no sparks: He's nice, She's friendly, but you're just not feeling it. There's a lot of awkward pauses, and nervous laughter, it's really painful how you have absolutely nothing in common. 10. PUT DOWN THAT DAMN PHONE!: Whether it's that you can't get a word in edgewise, or this person just insulted your entire family while texting about fly fishing, and plans to stiff the waiter! How could anyone be so rude! 11. You can smell the desperation: There's a fine line between looking for romance, to all but shoving a ring on the finger and this person is doing the latter, already discussing family planning, or where's the best place to live and you just barely know them! You're just hoping the food isn't drugged... 12. Randomize, or make up your own! LOCATIONS: 1, Le Ritz du faux francois 2. Shanky Cheeses 3. Queenie Drive-In Cinematics 4. Skeezy Row Peep Shows 5. Center Park 6. Strike! Bowling Alley 7. Community Theater 8. Randomize or make up your own! </cut></div>

Meme: Hangover

THE HANGOVER MEME</center>

Sure, we've all seen the "Morning After" meme. But let's face it: Sometimes waking up in bed next to a total stranger is the BEST possible outcome to a night after too much hair of the dog.

So here's how this meme works:

1.) Pick a character.
2.) Options:

a.) Put your character's name and canon in the header. The person replying will roll on the good old-fashioned RNG, and the scenario can play out that way, OR:
b.) Pick a scenario, and use the header to announce that rather than your character and canon. It is suggested, but not necessary, that you write out the start of your scenario this way.

Your options are:

1.) Obligatory "Wake Up In Bed With Someone" -- Not to steal the thunder of the OTHER meme, but you gotta have this option somewhere.

2.) You're in Jail! -- So much for not having a criminal record. Looks like it's time for a buddy to bail you out.

3.) Where Did my Clothes Go? -- This is only mildly awkward. Let's hope you have cover. Or conveniently placed objects.

4.) Where Am I? -- We pray for your sake this one isn't combined with #3.

5.) I'm Pretty Sure I Didn't Have This Last Night -- Excuse me, did anybody misplace a llama? No?

6.) "I <3 Mom" -- That sure is a tattoo all right! Hope it's not anything embarrassing.

7.) I Didn't Mean It! -- Wow, you don't remember what you said, but your buddy seems to have gotten entirely the wrong impression. Your choice on whether this made them mad or... something else.

8.) Vegas Marriage -- We're pretty sure you can't really call this "holy" matrimony, especially with all those poker chips in your pockets.

And remember: Next time, drink more water. Have a nice day.

Sod it, I want ALL the memes.</center>

You know, some days you just can't find a meme to save your life. You don't want to think of a scenario for your meme, but you don't like any of the ones that are up right now either! Or maybe you just want the random shenanigans that are involved with a single roll of the di -- er, random number generator.

This meme is different. Or rather, it's the same, but all together at once.

It's pretty simple, really. The following list was compiled by the charming players at the currently defunct Planeocracy RP. You can approach it one of two ways:

1.) Post with your character and canon, along with any restrictions you might have.

2.) Post the SCENARIO in your header line and let any interested parties join you.

Note that you do not actually HAVE to roll for this; if you see a scenario you like on the list, go for it. That said, if you DON'T see a scenario you want, we can change that for the next time this meme goes up! Just put 1-5 ideas of your own down in your post and, assuming they're not redundant, we'll add them to the list for next time. Note that if you have an NC-17 prompt, you are HIGHLY suggested to label it as such, since not everybody wants that sorta stuff and might wanna reroll. Which is also an option, by the way.

Meme: Genre Shift
Warnings: thread/prompt dependent
Examples:
A / B / C / D / E
Codes:

<big>GENRE SHIFT MEME</big></center>

Here's the deal:
1. Pick a character to reply to, and roll a genre. The thread proceeds in whatever genre you got.
2. Thread until things slow down, or until you decide on a whim to shake things up.
3. Roll a new genre. Transition the thread into the new genre by any means possible.
4. Continue until the end of time.

Genre List:
1. Hollywood Action Movie! Get ready to dive sideways with pistols while walking away from an explosion in slow motion.
2. Schlock Romance! Channel your inner Soap Opera writer. Everyone is in love with everyone else. Everyone else is related. Let no minute pass without a dramatic, heart-rending revelation.
3. Shounen Anime! Let the heavy-handedness of your dialogue be matched only by the quantity of your special techniques. When in doubt, transform.
4. Slasher Flick! Someone is killing people one by one. Someone... or something. Prepare to make as many bad mistakes as possible.
5. Teen Comedy! Zany misunderstandings. High school cliches. Gross-out humor. You know the drill.
6. Classical Tragedy! The great are laid low by their own hubris. Everyone dies in the saddest way imaginable. Woe! Woe unto us all!
7. Buddy Cop! One of them is a hard-line cop who does everything by the book. One of them is a loose-cannon who's one mistake away from losing his badge. Together they've got a hell of a case to crack, and maybe they'll learn a little bit about friendship along the way. Friendship, or property damage.
8. Gothic Horror! Think vampires. The sexy kind. Let no scene happen in direct sunlight.
9. Edutainment! The children are watching. Be sure to keep things kid-friendly and make sure they at least pretend to learn something while you're here.
10. Superhero Movie! The city is in peril, and you've got a whole mess of high-budget superpowers gunning to save it.
11. Disaster Flick! I hope you didn't have anything important to do today, because a tornado juts hit an earthquake in the middle of a flood, so you'd better be ready to outrun the wrath of God.
12. Samurai Drama! Honor. Duty. Tragedy. Sword fights.
13. Spaghetti Western! Make sure you're wearing your best leather boots, 'cause there's gonna be a gunfight at high noon.
