I have an expert on movie cliches who is currently hyped up on caffeine, a polcieman who is a day away from retirement, somerandom guy and a paraplegic who is going to betray them.

They're taking the paraplegic to his home in London (currently overrun by a dinasaur) wherehe has promised to give them something which will enable them to cross a giant river of lava blockign the Wales/England border. Except he is lying and will kill them when they reach there.

So they aredriving to London from Wales and I am out of ideas. Anyone got any hilarious situations?

You come upon a nudist colony. Always a good fallback.

The vehicle breaks down in a small village that has somehow been over-run by the IRA only it's the day after St. Patrick's and they're all hung-over and worn out from fighting.

By the way, that response what absolutely hilarious.

Don't do anything stupid? Who the hell is he talking to? A bunch of morons who volunteered to jump out of a perfectly good airplane. Can you get any more stupid that that?

This would be even better if they THOUGHT it was St. Paddy's day. Because they were so drunk to begin with. Becuase we love Irish stereotypes.

You sound like your a character-strong writer.
I bet you could come up with some very "special" hitch-hikers.

My problem is I'm too character strong.
They came accross this nudist colony (three men renting out a Starbucks) and now they've joined in this road trip.

I have way too many characters now. This whole thing is just a sub-plot.

Blow them up. Or have them emigrate to a nudist colony in Mars?

Naw, keep the nudists around for a little longer. Frankly I feel a bit responsible for them now, so I think that they should be cared for. Besides that, there is nothing like a few nudists to do something stupid in an explosive climactic end to the story.

I'm not sure how I feel about nudists with explosive ends. *bahdumBUMP*

I almost added a Welsh ghost to the party but decided that was stupid.

Since I am so unimaginative with the situations, most of my story is in Resident Evil 4. The characters are my own but at least I don't have to come up with what happens to them.

You could, at random, have a nudist from the colony pop up in the car from nowhere and make them crash, leaving them stranded, and then they have to split up to search for a way to get help, and the main characters ended up in a desert somehow, and then finding an oasis with a river, which swept them away to a island out of nowhere while the rest of the minor character ended up wandering away from their task for finding help.

I don't know, just a random thought, since what you guys came up with was kind of amusing.

I might aswell do that. I need to extend it, cos they already reached London and I'm only at 27k.

What else could happen... trapped in a shopping mall, that's a decent enough idea.

This is the coolest topic i've read since the one about silly names for genitalia.
HOOOOW abouts, they come across a bazaar in the desert? I know it's just introducing more characters, but you could kill off a bunch of people.
