B Movie Meme

You and yours are noticing how suspiciously familiar this whole setting is. Surprise! You're in a B-Movie. And guess who's the star? Ding-ding. Well, saddle up, grab a knife, run up the stairs - whatever it takes to survive to the end credits.
1 - "Hail to the King, baby": Welcome to being sucked into an alternate dimension with castles and demons and books that try to eat your face off. But that's okay, you've got a shotgun and a chainsaw, right? This... is your BOOMSTICK. Shop Smart. Shop S-Mart.
2 - "I'm gonna need a bigger can of Raid": Spiders, preying mantises, cockroaches, ants... whatever it is that has more than four legs, it's now supersized and about to attempt to move up the food chain. You gonna take that sitting down?
3 - "But the sign says don't feed the animals!": Mother nature is pissed, and she's got the critters of the land riled up and coming after you. Whether it's snakes in a plane, rats being directed by a scrawny bastard with satchels, or genetically altered bats/sharks/sharktopuses, they all want a piece of the OTHER other white meat.
4 - "I vant to suck your bloooood": Some creepy ass mofo in a cape with bad dental work is giving you the eye. Big eyes. With some kind of unibrow shit going on that needs to be trimmed. Plucking isn't just for woman, buddy. Grab a chair leg, or hell, a pencil, and tell him that no means no.
5 - "Maybe you should have taken a left at Uranus": Yep. You guessed it. Space aliens. Weird little green men with big heads and eyes the size of footballs. What's that in their hand? Is that... is that a probe? Oh god, run. RUN!
6 - "The curse of... that thing with the curse on it": Whether you've come afoul of a witch's curse, or you've taken something from somewhere you shouldn't have, you're cursed. Things are dropping on you, that black cat keeps crossing your path, things break just as you touch them. What else can go wrong?
7 - "Braaaaaaaaains": What's a b-movie meme without the obligatory zombies? Whether it's the Dawn of the Dead shambling ones, or the 28 Days Later running freaks of nature that have magically learned how to do parkour, you've got to deal with them. Grab a cricket-bat and your least favorite record and have at it.
8 - "Input. Does not compute. Error. Error": Robots gone wild, weee! Well, as wild as a robot can get. But when you take into consideration that they're no longer listening to you, and have decided that you're a parasitic virus on the face of the earth, you might have to try to give it the ol' reboot. IF you can reach the button...
9 - "There's something touching my leg": Yeah, we've done evil animals, but this is specifically for the 'wtf are you still doing in the water, you goddamn idiot' scenarios. Be it huge crocs, giant anacondas, flesh eating piranhas, there's something in that murky water that wants to get a little more up close and personal with you. Say hi to Cthulu.
10 - "She blinded me with SCIENCE": You should really be more careful with your components. Your experiment has gone awry, either blending you or someone else with some poor critter you had, or some type of virus that's changing them in ways that are VERY NOT GOOD. Now's not the time to remember you didn't fully lock the restraints...
11 - "DRAGONS!": Because dragons deserve a category of their own. Seriously. Motherfucking DRAGONS, yo. And they think you look mighty tasty. And small. And puny. And helpless. Get the goddamn army to show them just how not helpless you are, or die trying.
12 - "Let's do the timewarp again": Either the tagger or the taggee is from the future or the past, coming with a message. Or just a desire to fuck shit up. Go back and kill Hilter, you say? But... I want to go into the future and fly my car around.
13 - "REET REET REET REET REET": Can we say pyscho? Or Mike Meyers? Or Krueger? Or Jason? However you want to say it, there's a crazy guy with a knife/chainsaw/sickle and you're the only thing on their mind. Can you and your tagging partner evade them? Or is your tagging partner the one after you?
14 - "Devil with the blue dress on": Something wicked this way comes. Its favorite numbers are 666, and it likes to drink blood on a moonlit beach. You've woken it somehow, or it was the prophesized time for them to come and claim what's theirs. Namely, you.
15 - "Tremors": Look. If you know tremors, than I don't have to explain this. Just give me graboids and explosions and extensive games of "The ground is lava."
16 - "Wildcard": Don't see what you feel like playing on here? Make it up and go your own way, compadre.
Relationship ideas:
1 Comrade in arms: You and the tagger are in this together. Until the bitter, bitter, bitter end.
2 Enemies: You're tagging in as the antagonist in this little scenario.
3 Unwillingly dragged into this: You were just walking along, minding your own business, when BAM. Now you're in the middle of this mega-crap.
4 Consulting Expert: You're the expert that they're coming to for answers. You got any? HUH?
5 Wildcard: Come up with your own relationship.

LOL
One arm holds his blade while the other holds Shijie's wrist, ready to move her out of harm's way at a moment's notice.]
Stay close to me, Shijie, don't worry, I'll take care of this!
[Because the alternative isn't an option. It would be easier at least if he knew what kind of monster this was. Water ghouls weren't like this and weren't usually this big either. He slices off another few tendrils and frowns, watching them slither away. He doesn't even think he's hurting the thing, just mildly inconveniencing it, but he can't do anything if he can't see the rest of its body.
With a grunt of annoyance as he swipes at another inky curl of sludge, he hears the dock creak again and glances to where the noise is coming from. The thing is definitely beneath them, and more than that, its wrapped its arms around the first few boards of the dock, cutting them off from the shoreline.
With one more shuddered gasp of creaking wood, the connecting portion of the dock collapses and Wei Wuxian takes hold of Shijie's waist again, temporarily letting Suibian fall to his side as he jumps and twists in the air, landing with her further away from the broken section of the dock and immediately taking up his defensive stance again.
Shit. It's not so far that he can't jump it, but Shijie can't, and if he takes her with him, he won't be able to defend the both of them in midair. There's Suibian, as an option, but he's never taken a second person on his sword before and risks falling into the water which isn't exactly an option right now. Wei Wuxian grits his teeth, frantically searching for other options even as he continues to fight.]

Please be careful, A-Xian.
[ She replies with a small nod, concerned but not much she can do at the moment. She has the utmost trust in him as he is a very formidable warrior. She can see that he's able to easily parry it, but with some complications because she's an extra added weight. She hoped that they would be able to escape through the dock but it didn't seem the case anymore as the thing had its tendrils all over their possible escape route. What to do. She's not as clever as most people but it's not bad to try to get some sort of advantage against it.
Then she spots a boat not too far from them. It's possibly within jumping distance. Maybe they can use that as a leverage to get back to shore. Once they get back to shore, she won't be in danger and he can handle the thing on its own. The black tendrils has yet to reveal itself, crunching away at the wood floors of the dock. It's only a matter of time before it completely crushes the entire thing. Yan Li gently tugged at his sleeve. ]
A-Xian, look. Do you think maybe we can possibly get to shore that way?
[ Her eyes fixated on the boat outside of the creatures reach. It's a miracle the one they were suppose to go on wasn't broken. ]
no subject
Good idea Shijie! [It's just what they need and the jump isn't so far like the one to the shore that they'd have to go unguarded. Something grabs at his ankle and he stumbles for a moment before cutting it off, a frown marring his face. If they're going to move, they need to do it now. The dock wasn't going to be left standing for much longer.
He dodged another swipe and pressed closer to his sister, dropping suibian to float in front of him and pulling her close once more.]
We're going to jump together, alright? Ready?
no subject
At the very least, she is relieved he sees what she is eyeing. She almost steps forward when the thing grabs at his ankle, but stops when hit's chopped off. It sounds like they have no other choice than to do this now. ]
Yes. Please be careful.
[ She nods with a small smile. She trusts him at the very least, while grasping onto his arm as he grabs her. It does seem a little too close but their safety is much more important than etiquette at the moment. ]
no subject
Stay down low and call for me if anything happens, okay?
[His eyes flash to hers and he calls Suibian back to his hand, catching it just in time to begin defending again. They'll eventually need to row themselves close enough to the shore to disembark, but for now, he'll have to keep up their defenses.]
no subject
Thankfully, neither of them are injured. The creature, seemed to be pretty ticked off that it lost its prey and now angrily thrashing in the water in hopes of grabbing unfortunate prey. At some point they are coming at the two of them again. ]
Yes. Do we know what it is? I haven't seen such a violent creature in the waters of Yunmeng before.
[ She nodded softly. They need to row to safety, That is for sure but with the creature thrashing about, she's not sure if it's the best idea to leave A-Xian alone to handle it. There's not much she can do these days but she ca at least attempt to find the paddle so they can row to safety. As Wei Wuxian is handling the defense, she fumbles around to find the paddle. ]
