blacklisle | The Pocketses Meme

what has it got in its pocketses?

Well? Cough it up! The Pocketses Meme comes in three complementary flavors; mix and match to your taste, respect other people's preferences, tag around, etc.

VERSION ONE - The Character Exercise: Post a top-level comment with your character, and a list of everything they're carrying on their person at this moment. Compare and comment. Make fun of other people's choice in gum flavors. Have a ball.

VERSION TWO - The Party(?) Game: Post a top-level comment. Subject line: character / fandom / blahblah. Body: What have I got in my pocket? Whoever replies gets three guesses. If they guess any one item right, they win; if not, you win. Whoever loses pays a forfeit. Cannibalism optional.

VERSION THREE - The Scenario: Roll 1-8. Your character is now stuck in the corresponding setting, with nothing but those pocket-contents. And another character, who presumably has pockets of their own. Between you, you can probably figure out a solution to your problem, right? Right?

settings

1.	A locked room. There is one small window, which doesn't open, and a water cooler. For some reason.
2.	A remote desert island, with no phone reception. Just lots of sand and palm trees.
3.	A small, sparsely provisioned rowboat in the middle of the ocean.
4.	A rooftop at least four stories above the ground. Locked door, no fire escapes. There is a pigeon, though.
5.	A maze of twisty little passages, all alike.
6.	A dark cavern at the bottom of a mountain, likely to be attacked by goblins at any moment. Because.
7.	An open field west of a white house, with a boarded front door. There is a small mailbox here.
8.	Your neighborhood bar. Listen, I didn't specify a survival situation. Shut up and drink your beer. (Or reroll.)
