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!

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!

1/3; i'm back ~ :relieved:
The answer to that is complicated, but think of it as magic— well, magecraft— like in a video game. Have either of you played any RPG games? MMORPGS? [ He doesn’t wait for them to answer.] But unfortunately, I hate to burst your bubble, but you’d probably only able to do that only if you have dedicated animators working in the background to use CGI for the whole stadium~!
[ How does he know about this?— well it does get boring in Avalon, he livestreams!!!! He’s a cute idol himself! Praise him!]
We all used something called a Noble Phantasm— which is power based on our legends. Some of us have more than one. It’s almost like a temporary manifestation— where it reproduces scenes or display feats from them but it requires a lot of energy so we don’t use them too often [ lol lmao says one of the big giant overworked looping buffers at Chaldea.] It also depends on class, but you boys don’t have to worry about all of that~!
[ Merlin dismissively waves his hand.]
Also to clear something up, think of us as mere shadows of those from those legends—! Except me, of course!
2/3; it did! no worries!!!!!
[ She stares at the girl.]
Well, I suppose she can tell you herself.
[ She turns turn to Merlin and elbows him hard which makes him wince.]
Don’t mind Merlin, he has a huge ego. But think of us as … A copy summoned of the originals… to help the world to get rid of anomalies like that giant ghost— it wasn’t supposed to be here.
3/3; time to give kyosuke a heart attack LMAO
[ Jack glances between Merlin and Medusa, now blinking in confusion. Then recognition flashes over her face.]
Eh? Did you guys reveal your True Names? Okay! We guess the jigs up!
[ The darkness now makes her appear more menacing as she introduces herself!]
We’re Jack! Otherwise known as Jack the Ripper! Heehee! Are you surprised? Think of us as one interpreted manifestation !
[ Kyosuke pales a little after hearing that. It probably wouldn't be wise to tell them she's a wraith composed of ghosts just after they vanquished the other one from before.]
T-the infamous serial killer?!??
[ Jack flashes them both a cheshire smile.]
Yuuuup! Don't worry, we won't dismember you!
[ Like that'll be any comfort whatsoever!]
It's not just mythological heroes either! There's historical figures.... fictional ones, concepts... my best friend is a concept for nursery rhymes~
