TEST DRIVE MEME



Pick a scenario!


Scenario A: Time for a stakeout! You and your partner have been tasked with staking out a place to catch a crime in progress. Maybe you're stuck somewhere comfy with snacks and a deck of cards. Maybe you're sitting somewhere on top of a building together in the rain, miserable and snapping at each other.

Perhaps you can use this time to get to know a stranger on the team better or maybe it's a time you can bond with someone you're hoping to be better friends with. Whatever the case, you've got to keep a close eye out and the only real entertainment you have is each other.


Scenario B: You're on the run! An evil totalitarian government got angry about the Legion nosing into some of their affairs and you and one of your teammates got captured. To avoid a terrible fate, you escaped and are now on the run on a hostile alien world full of urban areas swarming with agents looking for you, and dangerous wilderness. With your powers dampened by the power dampening collars on your necks, all you have to rely on is each other.

To make thing even worse, throughout it all, you're handcuffed together with nearly unbreakable cuffs. Yaaaaay. Maybe if you get far enough from the cities, you can hide out long enough for the other Legionnaires to find you.


Scenario C: Make up your own!

Marinette / Ladybug | Miraculous Ladybug

[dupaindots]

Scenario A: Ladybug hated stakeouts. It was rare that she and Chat ever had to do them back home, and even rarer that they ever had to wait long. And if one did take a long time, sometimes she convinced Chat to stay and just call her when something happened.

Ladybug could be called many things but "patient" was something that only worked when you put "occasionally" in front of it. She could sit quietly through class, and sit still while doing her homework, and she definitely knew how to sit still and concentrate when working on things she enjoyed, like her fashion design, but when she was Ladybug, when she was being a hero, there usually wasn't a whole lot of sitting still.

She was used to hero time being adventure time! Running around chasing akuma-ed people, or getting chased by them, or doing something. Her superhero life was usually a very active one and she didn't realize how used to that she'd gotten over time.

"It can't be much longer, right? I mean, I know this usually involves waiting." She pretended that she only knew about stake outs from TV. "It's just on TV usually there's the sitting part and then the exciting part where they chase the bad guys and catch them."

Marinette started tapping her fingers against the windowsill.

"We're probably at least getting close to that part, right?"

She put her elbow on the windowsill, propped her chin on her hand, and blew a few strands of hair out of her face.

"They're bound to do something soon."

She really should have brought some sewing to work on.


Scenario A: This was a very different kind of danger than what she was used to. Yes, the akuma-ed people she fought back home were very dangerous. They released wild animals, they threw cars, sometimes they tried to send her and Chat into space in bubbles that would run out of air.

Still, there was always some wiggle room for escape, and she always had her Lucky Charm power. Maybe it wasn't always obvious how it would fix the situation but it was a fix that she could almost always count on.

But her powers were different now and even if they hadn't been, she had this stupid collar around her neck.

She almost said something about how this was different from back home, about how it was so much more dangerous, but then she remembered that she was keeping all that a secret. She'd woken up in Legion World and pretended to be just Marinette Dupain-Cheng, and so Marinette she'd stayed.

It was a major pain in the posterior, being stuck doing that. As Ladybug, she knew how to do things, she was confident, and no one questioned it. But as Marinette she was awkward and it would've been strange for her to be confident and competent and act like she knew how to be a hero when she was pretending to just be a normal girl.

"Not that I have any experience doing things like this. At all," she said nervously as they ran, hoping that made it sound like she definitely didn't think she knew what she was doing, nope. "But maybe it'd be a good idea for us to hold each other's hands and try to match each other's pace so we're not pulling so hard on each other's arms?"

That was a normal suggestion for a normal person to make, wasn't it? One that didn't make it seem like she was maybe perhaps a superhero back home.
