(expanded edition; originally from memebells @ lj)

Ever wanted to tag a character yours has no good reason to know? Ever wanted your character to be forced to interact with someone they're supposed to hate? Want to stick two friends in a ridiculous situation they can't get out of? Now's your chance!

You character has been trapped somewhere-- and they're not alone. Write a top comment with your character and include whatever preferences you have for scenarios and genres you're open to. Use the random number generator or your own discretion to reply to others' posts.

SCENARIOS:

1. TRAPPED IN AN ELEVATOR The old standby. You're stuck until someone can rescue you, or until one or both of you can get this box moving again.

2. TRAPPED IN AN UNDERGROUND BUNKER Maybe there's a nuclear winter, or maybe you were just exploring and wandered in here. Either way? Right now, you're stuck.

3. TRAPPED IN TRANSIT You were driving long-distance when your ride broke down, so now you're stuck in the middle of nowhere until else someone happens by. Or maybe you're on a bus going cross country with the only two seats open and that person over there doesn't look too friendly. Maybe you're just glad you managed to get a seat change on that ten-hour flight because that guy in front of you kept putting his seat back right into your knees. But you're not the only one stuck here, so let's try to make the best of it.

4. TRAPPED IN A MALL AFTER HOURS Somehow, you managed to get stuck in the mall after closing. Maybe you fell asleep in the bathroom, or were hiding in the back of the bookstore, but now the doors are locked, and you've got the whole place almost to yourself.

5. TRAPPED IN A MAZE Entering that maze seemed like such a good idea, didn't it? Only now you can't find your way out, and you're pretty sure you're not alone in here...

6. TRAPPED ON AN ISLAND You should have known better than to trust any three hour cruise or any last minute flight over the ocean. In the chaos you've gotten stuck on a different island from the rest of the survivors (there are others, right?), but you'll probably still be close enough for rescuers to find you if you build a big enough fire. At least you have the island to yourselves... don't you?

7. TRAPPED IN THE WILDERNESS It was a great idea to go trekking out into the wilderness until you got separated from the group you were on, or you lost your map in a mad escape from something... unfortunate. If you're lucky there's a cabin to stay in. If you're less lucky, one of you brought a tent. If not... then you better get trekking home in a hurry. There're animals out there, you know.

8. TRAPPED IN SPACE It may be the final frontier, but that doesn't mean you enjoy being trapped in a capsule waiting to be rescured, or stuck on a ghost spaceship trying to figure out where the crew went, or locked in the cargo hold because you wanted to hop a ride to the next hyperjump and now you can't get out or trapped on that planet you crashed on that looked like it may have friendly natives except now all the plants want to eat you. But you're not the only one and that should help...or make things even worse.

9. TRAPPED IN A BIND These ropes? Are a little tight. That cage? Might just shock you if you move too much. Maybe you shouldn't have pissed off that supervillain by insulting his cape, or maybe it's the fault of your rival trying to prevent you from showing up to the competition, or maybe you really should stay out of those cornfields after midnight because things like this always happen to you. But hey, someone else is here, too, and together you can figure out a way out of this mess...right?
