3ggsdealerMEME CODE:
DIE HARD (ON A MEME)
You're in a closed location; either the exits are sealed or guarded or it is otherwise difficult to leave. It's filled with enemies, thieves, criminals, and/or armed mooks. There's probably hostages, too. No one from outside can get to you, at least not for a while.
But you're free. You evaded capture somehow. You might even have access to conveniently human-sized vents. Are you armed? Are you going want to try to stay out of reach or fight back? Is there someone you need to rescue or are you about to have an unlikely team-up?
Feel free to pick a role:
+ Protagonist: you're alone except for the enemy and hey, maybe you're not stuck here with them, they're stuck here with you. But you might have someone else with you who's also stuck…
+ Hostage: nothing wrong with being the character in distress sometimes. Are you dealing with the criminals? Getting rescued? Rescuing yourself?
+ the Baddie: you're not the one stuck in there with the criminals, you're the one running the show. Or maybe it's your secret villain base and it's been invaded by heroes, go ahead and flip the trope.
+ Mook: you're not even in charge enough to be the main bad but you can sure have fun!
And a setting:
1. DIE HARD, IN A BUILDING: office building is the classic, but feel free to have it be any kind of big building as long as there's a lot of rooms and hiding places and a way to keep the doors shut. Mall? Castle? Museum? Haunted opera house? Have fun.
2. DIE HARD, ON A BOAT (OR PLANE): hey, if it's a ship, boat, submarine ain't nobody getting on or off unless they want to drown. Spaceship? In space, no one can here you call the cops. Plane? Put the bunny back in the box. Zeppelin? Careful where you fire that gun.
3. DIE HARD, ON A BUS (OR OTHER VEHICLE): Basically the same as the last one but there *is* a chance to just run and not fall to your death or drown. But if you do that, the hostages might be in trouble... which do you choose?
4. DIE HARD, OUTSIDE: technically you're not inside! But it's still somehow a closed location - small town with all the roads cut off, a mountain, a gated park, a zoo, etc. Unless you can fly, you're still stuck. But hey, at least there's sunlight! ...Unless it's raining.
5. DIE HARD, IN YOUR HOME: It's your house/castle/secret base/space ship and therefore your home territory, and these people have taken it over. How rude! But hey, if you want to combo Die Hard with Home Alone, now's your chance.
