Things were usually quiet out here in the middle of nowhere, and that was how Ralph liked it. The Marines had built a base on a little forest planet that was home to no sentient life, but plenty of critters.

After the disaster of a mission he had recently been on, he was glad to have a chance for a more relaxing mission. Most of the other surviving Marines from that mission had been stationed here as well. This place was good for young Marines just starting out, and older ones who needed some calm in between.

There were plenty of other staff stationed here, in case of accidents and emergencies. There was a full medical staff and multiple robotics experts for androids and cyborgs.

However, there had been a small bump of excitement lately, a ship carrying 4 traumatized passengers had entered the sector and the Marines had intercepted it.

A fellow Marine was one of the passengers on the ship, and with information from him and the rest of the passengers, it painted a gruesome tale.

Ralph didn't know much about all of that, just what he had heard from the others. His specialties weren't needed, so he hadn't been on scene.

But, once the group had gotten settled and all the excitement of newcomers was over, everything had settled right back down into routine once more.

Ralph's routine involved a morning jog through the forest, and that's where he's at now. He had grown up on a heavily-forested planet, so he felt like the trees gave him a little taste of home.

As he jogs through the forest, he hears something rustling nearby and he pauses, looking around to see if he could spot it. Maybe it was a bird or a fox or something.

Current Mood: curious

[As Ralph stumbles through the forest, he tries to remember what's happened the past few days. His memories are hazy and murky, his hands and arms are covered in scratches.

He's been holed up in a thick part of the forest, sleeping for the most part, and only stopping his rest to find something nearby to snack on. But, now, he's trying to remember why he was doing that in the first place.

Ralph rubs his forehead, he figures that he had transformed sometime before he took to being a recluse, he's thankful that he's large enough that his clothes fit both his human and bear forms without too much fuss.

He thinks he's heading towards home, but his sense of direction isn't always the best, especially after he hasn't been eating nearly enough. He'll have to find something to munch on while he heads home, and then get a real dinner for once.]

Current Mood: groggy

[Ralph and the rest of the Space Marines were currently heading back to the one place he never thought he'd go again. It wasn't someplace he wanted to go back to, he'd seen enough of it the first time and in his nightmares. It hadn't been long enough since thing, some of his injuries were still finishing healing up.

He looks out the window of the spacecraft as they approach the nameless planet, thinking about what had happened the last time he had set foot there, of all the lives it had taken. They had been victorious, but at a steep price. But, now it seems that their victory against the Cy-Bugs was meaningless.

All eyes had been on the planet since the disaster had struck. It had been quarantined, but every now and then, somebody tried to sneak to it to obtain the advanced military technology that it held. It was constantly monitored for any suspicious activity, so as soon as there were signs of Cy-Bugs, the Marines had been sent out.

However, it had taken a while to gather a team and even longer for the trip, so there was no telling what was going to be awaiting them when they hit the planet.

Ralph yanks his helmet over his head and goes to buckle in, bracing himself for the landing.

It's a mostly painless procedure, starting the mission out on a pleasant note. But, Ralph had a feeling that it was going to be the last scrap of niceness they were going to get for quite some time.

The Marines set up a base, then they split up to check the planet.

Ralph heads out, keeping a close eye on his surroundings and the in-helmet radar that indicated when Cy-Bugs were approaching.]

Current Mood: distressed

[The Space Marines hadn't been on the unnamed planet for very long, but so far, this mission had been something of a disaster. Most of the Marines had been injured and they had even lost a couple. Not a good start to what was shaping up to be a long mission.

The distress call had been responded to promptly, however, even with the speed, it appears that they had gotten there much too late. There were a few survivors, but they were few and far between. The Cy-Bugs were programmed well, they took down their targets with ease in most cases.

Despite the danger, it was deemed best that everyone split up so that the area could be searched quicker. Time was of the essence, the Space Marines could defend themselves, the scientists and other civilians didn't have the resources that they did that would keep them safer. The main goal was to find all the survivors and get them to safety, then start a mass elimination of the Cy-Bugs.

The planet was on a strict quarantine, some reinforcements and supplies could be brought in, but no one could leave the planet until the Cy-Bugs were completely destroyed. They were much too dangerous to be let off the planet, just one could cause untold damage.

Ralph had been assigned to check some of the labs, he's bigger and stronger than most of the other Marines, so he was assigned some of the more dangerous sections of the planet.

He kicks down doors, scanning rooms for any signs of life. Occasionally there's a lone Cy-Bug he has to deal with, but, so far, it's been all quiet.

Every now and then, he calls out to anyone that might be able to hear him.]

Hello? Is anybody there? I'm here to rescue you.

The Train to the Afterlife Meme

In this meme, your character has died. Maybe they died in canon, maybe there's an AU scenario that leads to their death, or perhaps there's another reason they've passed on.

No matter the circumstances, your character finds themselves aboard a train heading wherever they're going after their deaths.

It's a spacious train, there's plenty of room for everyone and they're free to move about the cars, the train is equipped with the standard amenities one would expect for a long journey: cozy cars for resting, dining cars for eating, luggage cars filled with many bags or maybe none at all, fuel cars, and the engine and caboose, along with anything else you'd like your characters to encounter.

Sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride.

[Based on this Train to the Afterlife meme and many others that have appeared on

bakerstreet and other meme communities. I felt bad just copy-pasting, so I wrote up my own version inspired by them.]

Current Mood: calm

[Ralph's life had changed quite a bit ever since the events of last month had taken place. Things had been in a whirlwind and Ralph was still getting used to his new life.

The biggest deal was having friends now. While he was close to Felix, he was even closer to Vanellope, and they often had adventures all over the arcade.

She was still settling into things as well and learning the ropes of her new position. There were things that needed to be taken care of, so she always had to stay after closing and make sure things went smoothly.

Ralph didn't mind waiting for her, they often met up at Tapper, the old bar game that was the most popular spot to hang out in. He's spent a lot of time in this game, he knew it and most of the regulars well.

Tonight, he's sitting at one of the corner seats, they gave him the most space, and he's sipping a root beer. He's facing the doorway, keeping an eye out for his best friend heading on through the doors.]

The Underwater Meme

Welcome to the ocean! It's a big, wet world out there, so here's your guide to what's all in store for you!

Fauna

There's many different species in the ocean, some you've heard of, some you haven't, here's just a few of the many creatures you can discover:

1. Mer-chimera - These people are half one species and half sea creature. The most common ones are mermaids and mermen, who are half-human and half-fish, however, some of these people have halves such as dolphins, crocodiles, and even squid. There's even rumors of some being half-sea monster or even half-dinosaur! There's no limit to what their ocean-faring half is, be it something real, extinct, or imaginary. (Characters in the meme can be half their appearance and half any other creature they choose, even things like water Pokemon are options, it's all up to you. Also, they can have always been this way or have found themselves suddenly transformed.)

2. Ocean Creatures - There's plenty of fish in the sea! And dolphins. And whales. And sharks. Every sea creature ever recorded (and a few that haven't been!) are found in this ocean.
(Your character can be any type of ocean-going creature, including things from mythology or other canons. They can have always been this way or have been changed into a sea creature.)

3. Land Creatures - Humans and other land-based critters live, work, and play around the ocean, be it on beaches, floating towns, or just taking a swim or scuba diving or even fishing.
(If you don't want to make any changes to your non-ocean character (or want to make an ocean character a land one), you can use this option to experience the sea.)

4. Other - There's always something new being discovered in the ocean, maybe we haven't found it yet, keep us updated on anything new you find out there!

Locales

There's plenty of places out there, here's some favorite spots!

1. The Seat of the Empire - This is the biggest city in the entire ocean! The emperor of the sea built his castle here and a nice city has sprung up around it. They're always welcoming to tourists, though if you cause trouble, you might just find yourself spending a night or two in the Locker, a high-security prison.

2. Towns - If the big city's not your thing, then there's plenty of small towns scattered about the ocean for you to experience.

3. Open Ocean - If you just want to get away from it all, then you'll want to check out the miles and miles of ocean between the towns and cities, there's all sorts of lovely things like the seaweed fields, the trenches, and open waters for you to discover!

4. The Ice Caps - Things are pretty chill in these freezing waters found at opposite ends of the ocean. There's plenty of ice and glaciers, along with some snow-covered land. Only the creatures with the warmest blubber or clothes can really enjoy their time here.

5. The Deep - The Deep is one of the most dangerous parts of the entire ocean, there's several spots around the sea where it's dark and mysterious. Strange and sometimes dangerous creatures live down here and there's sea volcanoes that increase the temperature to sometimes deadly levels. Not only that, but the pressure is greater down here, making it more difficult on ocean-goers. But, there are rewards to exploring this section of the ocean, there's luminescent creatures that are exotically beautiful and some of the old caves around the sea volcanoes have valuable crystals of different shapes and colors.

6. Other - If you've discovered a new place in the ocean, please feel free to write us and tell us all about it and we'll update our guide to let others know about other great spots around the sea!

((I hope everybody has fun with this and if you'd like, you can take or modify this meme, I don't mind!))
