the lost in the woods meme

You forgot your compass, lost the map, took the instructions of that crazy old guy living in a log, or were just plain stupid and falling for every horror movie cliché. Someone mentioned that it wasn't raining, someone really insulted a psychopath squirrel, and whatever plans you had were utterly ruined. Or maybe, despite everything, it went along perfectly. Whatever happened, you’re lost in the woods and there doesn’t seem to be a quick way out. Will you get back onto the path easily, or will you stumble upon some trouble? Or not? Anything is possible!

5. ROMANCE
6. BONUS CHALLENGES


general

PICKING FLOWERS ✿ Nothing simpler than going out and collecting some flowers. It is to brighten up a room? Cheer up a sick friend? Woo a loved one? Wait a moment… where did the path back home go?

HIKING TRIP ✿ Gotta love getting some exercise and fresh air, seeing new sights, and getting to the top of a summit. Hold on. You were supposed to turn left. Right?

PICNIC ✿ You had the perfect picnic spot in mind, and it was going to be a lovely afternoon, but you lost the map or took a wrong turn. Might as well find a decent spot somewhere before you get too hungry.

EXPLORING ✿ Everyone loves to explore the woods! Will you see deer or squirrels? Maybe find a creek you didn’t know about? Or lose sight of your house?

GAME ✿ You were playing paintball or hide and seek, but somehow, you lost your way and cannot find your way back to your friends. Hopefully they’re looking for you.


action

BATTLE ✿ Your worst enemy (or the latest criminal of the day) thinks that they can lose you in the woods, but they are totally wrong. But the woods are deeper and darker than you thought, and there are more dangers in it too.

HUNTING ✿ The woods are the perfect place to find a hiding spot for a criminal or someone else who might be running from you. But what is a haven could also be your undoing if you don’t know how to get out of there alive.

STRANGE SIGHTING ✿ Come on! You’re not going to let whatever that was get away, are you? Time to find that mysterious crash or that ghost, but you have only yourself to blame if you get into trouble and can’t get out of it.

LOOKING FOR CLUES ✿ Some sort of mystery is going on, from a ghost story to a jewel heist, and clues have led you to the woods. Will you find the hide out? A crime scene? More clues to reveal who or what is going on? Or just get more lost?

LEGEND ✿ There is a legend about these woods, and it’s always been a dare to go into them and see if you can find the truth behind it: a ghost, a creature, a god. But the thing is, no one ever got lost in the woods on the dare, and no one has ever found it before.


horror

BEING HUNTED ✿ You’re being hunted by a psychopath or something just as equally as horrifying. You have no other option but to go into the woods, but in your fear, you lost your way and you just might be heading back where you don’t want to go.

GHOSTS ✿ From ticking someone off to doing a taboo ritual, ghosts are out to get you. Can you lose them in the haunted forest or will you just meet your doom?

MONSTER CHASING ✿ A werewolf, the creature from the black lagoon, or a vampire, you are hunting down something not human with a vengeance. Wait. They might be hunting you, since you have no clue where you are in this dratted forest.

EVIL CABIN ✿ It was supposed to be a nice vacation, just a simple get away… but how were you supposed to know that a serial killer was vacationing there too? Or that it was cursed? Or something else that wants to kill you?

ANCIENT GROUNDS ✿ The tour guide told you not to step beyond those rocks for a reason! These were sacred grounds and now you have to face the wrath of ancient guardians. Can you lose them in the woods or figure out how to appease them?


comedy

EVERY ACCIDENT EVER ✿ You lost the map. The tents won’t go up. Someone broke their leg collecting firewood. Those leaves were poison ivy. You know the drill.

LOST THE MAP ✿ Was it that evil raccoon? Or perhaps you forgot it at the camp three miles back? Whatever the reason, you’ve decided that you’re just going to follow the trail wherever it goes, and it turned out to be your worst decision ever.

COMPASS IS WRONG ✿ The magnetic fields of the world is just messing with you now, sending you in a direction you didn’t want to go. But it might be a fun, if crazy, adventure. But is that the same bear you messed with earlier this morning?

WRONG DIRECTIONS ✿ We told you not to listen to that crazy old mountain man! Because instead of heading home, you’re up the wrong mountain.

ON PURPOSE ✿ Yes, you got lost on purpose. Not really, though. You just really wanted to pull a prank on your friends, or maybe get back at them.


romance

SURPRISE ✿ Did you bake them a ten foot high cake? Is it a surprise party? Or are you just being an awesome boyfriend or girlfriend? You have something planned in the forest and it’s going to be a wonderful day for everyone involved.

SECULUDED SPOT ✿ Everyone loves some place quiet and alone to be with their loved one. Hidden in the trees, a creek bubbling in the background, and stars above, there is nothing like going into the middle of nature to do nature things.

PROPOSAL ✿ On a hike, at the top of a difficult mountain to climb, in a field of flowers in the middle of the forest, a bunch trees can be just the spot to pop the question.

MAGICAL WONDER ✿ You have got to show someone this! A cave filled with crystals, a baby deer with its mother, a beautiful lake… They might not like the woods, but you’re dragging them with you to see this wonderful sight you can’t see in the city.

DATE ✿ It’s certainly different from movies and popcorn! Do you have a picnic set up? Is there fishing involved? Perhaps bird watching. Be creative!


bonus challenges

RAIN ✿ How many times do you have to see it in movies before you learn not to say, “At least it’s not raining?”

INJURY ✿ A sprained ankle, a concussion, maybe even a splinter. Any sort of injury is going to make an experience in the woods more miserable.

FOREST RANGER ✿ Is he friendly and goofy? Or just out to give you every ticket that you can be given in a forest? Either way, he won’t leave you alone.

WEIRD NOISE ✿ Yes, we know you’re hearing things. Wait, I think I heard it too. Is there something there, or are we just going insane?

STALKER ANIMAL ✿ This animal is just out to get you! Throwing acorns at any chance, determined to eat you… You just can’t scare it off!

[ she’s gonna hate every second of this lmao ]

he's cursed but not as cursed as the others. :3c btw action+strange sighting

[fellhand]

Come on, it looked like it went this way!
[ Chipper as always, Owain gestures for Hilda to follow him. Why, you might ask? Perhaps it's due to his overactive imagination! His overly tired brain seemed to want generate something "fun and mysterious" to think about. Thus, led them leaving camp without much a word – he hadn't really thought about the consequences, however. ]

Who knows, it could be inspiration for some of your new accessories?!

[ Yes, good plan. Absolutely! Nothing could wrong... right? ]

It looked not like a pegasus but something far grander!

[ prepare yourself for constant nagging ]

action + looking for clues + injury~! marz u fool

[cagedmoonlight]

[ ...Truth be told, März should've anticipated this: danger, while in search for ingredients for food. And medicine, but spices were the priority. He mentioned to Ingrid offhandedly before about certain ones in the area while they were in a class mission that spanned the weekend and they... just happened to run out those.]

Sorry about this, Ingrid, I should've.... been more careful.

[ The sun hangs low through the sea of trees, and März shoots the blond an apologetic smile. Sadly, he twisted his ankle over some uneven ground. They were kind of far from camp too. His gaze breaks away from hers, while searching the ground for the necessary ingredients. ]

I swear it should be around here somewhere.....

[ please don’t eat the weeds ]

action + battle + injury! let's do an unconventional matchup it'll be fun

[healingstressed]

Hold still, please. This won't take a moment. [ Lana's voice is as quiet as she can possibly make it, but it still feels far too loud for hiding in the woods like this. An inter-house tournament in the forest had seemed like a good idea for training, and it was until bandits happened. There's only so much damage they can do with practice weapons despite what Professor Byleth might think, and so the students had been given the order to flee.

Leading them to now. Magic gathers around Lana's hands, before she presses them gently to the nasty gouge on Dedue's arm, watching numbly as skin knits itself back together beneath her touch. The blood doesn't bother her nearly as much as it once did, but the gore is still rather difficult to stomach. ] There. How does it feel? [ A pause, and then; ] ... Thank you, Dedue. You didn't have to cover me like that, but I'm grateful that you did. You're far too kind for your own good.

ferdinand von aegir | fe3h

[noblestandards]

[ he is ferdinand von aegir ]

romance + magical wonder! thea is nice to ferdie timeline lmao

[operantics]

[ Perhaps this was one of her more baffling ideas. They are, after all, in the middle of a war. A war that has taken its toll on her, on him, on everyone they know. So maybe this is a little frivolous. Maybe it's irresponsible and a little too bold of her. But Dorothea Arnault has always been bold when it comes to her romantic life and this tenuous, fragile thing between herself and Ferdinand von Aegir will simply have to deal with that, because Dorothea is tired of feeling nothing but heartbreak and pain right now. And she knows that he is too -- she knows, she knows, because Ferdinand has always had a heart that's far too big for him to carry by himself. They're both tired, and so she has made the executive decision to give them both a break.

It's a little funny, actually. To think she'd invite the man she was so previously convinced despised her on a date in the middle of a war. Surely her self from five years ago would have a fit. ]

Still sleepy, Ferdie? [ She won't be surprised if he is. It's just before the dawn, after all, but what she intends to show him requires an early rise. A little ball of lightning crackles in her hand to light their way (she's not so good with fire magic, after all), illuminating her mischevious smile. ] Can you stay awake until we get there?

oswald | odin sphere

[ local emo experiences nature, has a terrible time ]

romance + date! also i tried orz what is the date? i'll figure it out next comment

[seekslove]

[ Romance is a concept that Gwendolyn is still learning. While she may have come to realize that her feelings towards her husband were indeed love, it didn't make her any more knowledgeable on the matter. When she was still a Valkyrie, she didn't have time for anything besides battle, but now? She wasn't sure what to do, really. All she knew is that she wanted to be by Oswald's side, no matter what.

...Although, there was still so much that she didn't know about him. It was almost shameful that they were married, yet knew so little about each other. Gwendolyn wished to rectify this, but she wasn't sure how. After consulting with Myris, she had reached the conclusion that the best way to achieve this was through a date. She had no idea what a proper date entailed, but with the Pooka's assistance, they had managed to set up something simple within Elrit Forest.

Myris had enlisted Brom's help in getting Oswald to come while keeping it a surprise from him. So now, there was nothing more to do but wait. ]

comedy + lost the map annd weird noise! >:)

[treacherybound]

Don't look at me, like hell I know where it might be!

[ Mordred swears to his adoptive father that he didn't take it. He left it in the tent, stored with their belongings. But when he went to look? Gone faster than Flayn downing some fish. They were on some kind of extra credit assignment about assessing the terrain- Mordred really didn't care, but he was terrible with directions and that map was their only savior at the moment since they were in the middle of no where. The fire they made crackles distantly– the heat and its smell feels farther away than he might've liked because they're having a little argument. ]

Listen, I could've swore I heard somethin' weird when approaching the tents.

[ He really hoped it wasn't demonic beasts that stole shit from their camp. ]

comedy + on purpose + bonus rain :)

[arrestedforbeinghot]

[ To be quite honest, things have gotten a liiittle out of Patty's hands since the idea to annoy Hubert on this class picnic had first planted itself in her mind... But she can't say she regrets it. Even with the rain soaking her to her bones, she knows Hubert will be even more miserable than her, and that's what makes it worth it! ... Maybe it's mean of her, but if anyone needs to be rained on a little, it's Hubert von Vestra. It's a little harmless revenge, honest! ]

Awww, come on Hubie, don't be mad! You can barely see the mud since you're all soaked, promise. And I'm sure this time, this is definitely the way back! Don't you trust lil' old Patty?

[ Of course she knows he doesn't, just as she knows she's been sending them in circles for the last few hours; any thief worth her salt has to know where she's going, after all! ... But as long as Hubert doesn't realise that, she should be fine, right? ]

general+ exploring! :> !! (ammy+issun being a foreigner servant class...] lobo and ammy gotta fight

[solarays]

[With Issun as her mouth piece, nothing could go wrong, mostly. Only when he opened his mouth about 'busty babes' things went down hill. ]

So apprentice, what kind of Servants are under your employ? [Issun calls from atop her head, voice brimming with curiosity. One thing led to another, causing their fated meeting– one being a worrisome dark entity calling itself a Demon God Pillar, another being separated from her other companions. Issun started to call her apprentice likely to up his own ego, but maybe build some kind of connection with her after making a contract. After a moment of silence, he adds with an after thought.] Are.... there any hot ones?

[ Amaterasu lets out a snort, rolling her eyes. She knew it'd lead to that. They've been exploring Agatha Forest, because she sensed a strange presence here. ]

Any favorites? Hm, hm, hmm~?

action + legend! red squad. please help this child ma'am

[handmadebear]

[ It had been Joshua's idea, as most things were (though in fairness, Letty hadn't helped at all). Their new home with Mr. Cliff was situated near a forest, one they were explicitly told not to wander too far in. But then Allen had found a book about local legends, and one thing had led to another, and the five of them had set out into the woods to find this so-called 'gateway to another world'.

They all wanted Teacher to wake up, after all. Any lead on Worlds was something they wanted to see through.

She'd gotten separated from her friends, though, and that's why Chelsy is currently curled up next to a big boulder, knees pulled up to her chest, hoping upon hope that someone will find her before the sky turns red. ]

... Teacher... [ Even though she knows he can't save her again... She can't help but call out for him. ]

ayaka sajyou | fate/prototype

[ *raises this acc from the dead* parkour ]

pls don't kill him ayaka. but!!! action + battle + stalker animal

[froggyway]

[ Ingway has little interest in honorable fighting, much less from the mages competing in it. However, watching them squabble like fools provides Ingway much information (and entertainment, fun!) about them. He's been pursuing Saber's Master incognito– well, cursed to be incognito– for awhile, up until those damn hounds from the Reiroukan brat sniffed him out, broke the branch he was on that threatened to hit her on the head.]

Ack!

[... He bounces off it, his powerful frog legs barely snapping the branch, hurling it at the canines heads and causing him to springboard right at Ayaka's face. Whoops. Assassin's silently laughing at him from the distance, damn it.]

Urgh, that hurts....

celica | fe:sov

[ insert witty comment here ]

when dad takes u out for a picnic!! general + picnic

[yandadere]

[Micromanaging the affairs of Garreg Mach was truly strenuous process, he never took off unless it was absolutely necessary. Rhea had took note of his weariness and discreetly allowed him to take leave on a small excursion. Something under the guise of checking in with one of the villages at the border about a sickness befalling it and they needed healers. He asked Flayn, but she had something else to do– he wondered what, but that's for another time, and asked one of the other level headed healers: Celica.]

Hmm....

[ The usual diligent Seteth seemed to have lost the map, causing him to heave a sigh. Had it blown away somewhere? It wasn't in his pack either. They happened to be returning after clearing the village and set up a picnic. There was a good spot that was clear of the trees with a great view of the sky he wanted to show her– but it's been awhile since he's been around these parts.... must be his age. ]

...No matter, we ought to settle down to eat, I'm sure you must be hungry, yes?

yusuke aoi | im@s

[leftfielder]

[ probably the reason they’re lost tbh ]

horror + ghosts! pressing f for yusuke.

[getjacked]

What are you doing out here?

[A seemingly innocent question, she wondered who dared this guy to wander out here. It was none of her business, personally, the other wraiths, ghosts and other oddities could play with him however they wanted. Jack appeared along with the wind, her footsteps – or lack of, hardly audible. It's like she came out of thin air.]

...Are you playing some kind of game?

flayn | fe3h

[fishplatter]

[ don’t tell seteth ]

action+ legend! let's go ghost bust !!! also rips off mother holle but ya know

[athermerce]

[ The so called Haunted Spots of Garreg Mach were a big hit among the student body. While it made her skin crawl, Mercedes found an absolute thrill about it! She had her fair share of experiences already and loved crafting spooky stories... so searching them out also became pretty fun. She had already discreetly looked at some of the so called haunted spots, but nothing beat the one about the forests surrounding the monastery! Somehow she roped Flayn into coming, which surprised her, but the healer took it in stride. ]

...Legend has it, if you say this chant at this wishing well in the forest, it will bless you with good fortune. You may find yourself dreaming afterward, as if brought into another world... and depending on what you do, you shall be blessed or .... cursed!

[Mercedes giggles as they walk through the forest; she's armed with a lantern and her staff. She's been taught some Reason Magic recently, so might as well put it to the test!]

What do you think of it Flayn? Are you a skeptic to these kinds of things? Ooo~or?

avenger / emund dantès | fgo

general + game! hey squidward what do you wanna do today

[princessheroine]

Bang~! [ She doesn't really need to emphasise the shot of paint vocally, but it's fun to do, so she will! The bright blue paint splatters on the ill-fitting safety vest Yurika had forced on Avenger when this excursion began, joining a myriad of other shades that are also all her fault. ] Come on Avenger, you've got to shoot back, you know? That's how we play paintball! [ While she's not spotless either, she's certainly a lot better off than her newfound companion. She lifts the gun to her face, and blows on muzzle as though she's fired a real bullet -- a comical action, given a paintgun is much larger than a standard pistol for Cool Gun Poses. ]

Oh, are you bored already? We can do something else while we're here if you want. [ There's plenty of activities to do in a heavily shaded forest, after all! Though why exactly the two of them are here in the first place is something she's neglected to mention. ]
