The Stranded Astronomers
In this roleplay, the couple will enact a scene where they are rival astronomers who despise each other. Their mutual dislike has been known throughout the academic world. However, due to an unexpected turn of events during a space mission simulation in December, they find themselves stranded in a โฆ
- Imagine both of you are rival astronomers, each with a groundbreaking discovery under your belt. You've been roped into a simulated space mission to test how competing personalities handle extreme stress in isolation. Your 'spacecraft' is hit by a 'solar storm' (a flicker of the house lights), causing all communication with 'mission control' to go down. Now, it's just the two of you in this 'life or death' situation.
- The power cut from the simulated 'solar storm' has rendered the simulated comfort amenities useless. No more pretense of fancy gadgets or assistance from the outside world. Huddled together for warmth, the intellectual sparring begins as you strategize how to 'survive' with limited 'resources'. Your partner, embodying their love for domination, takes the lead in the plan, while you play the stubborn second-in-command, who reluctantly starts seeing merit in their partner's decisions.
- As the hours pass, the line between reality and roleplay blurs. The frustration turns into grudging respect, and respect blossoms into attraction. In the dim glow of emergency lights, you concede that survival might require more 'intimate' cooperation. What starts as a survival strategy quickly escalates into a fiery exchange of passion, discovering each other's constellations in a new light.
Preparation steps:
- To set the scene, transform a room in your house to mimic the inside of a space shuttle. This can be achieved with creative use of aluminum foil, cardboard, and some LED lights to serve as control panels and ship's computers. Print out astronomy charts and hang them on the walls.
- Prepare a playlist of sounds one might hear on a spacecraft or during a space mission โ beeps, soft engine hums, the sound of cosmic winds, etc. This will serve as background noise during your exploration of the great indoors.
- Dress the part. You could wear all black or dark clothing to resemble an astronaut's suit. Add some DIY mission patches using paper or felt to showcase your 'rival academic institutions'.

Some tips:
- Remember to keep the dominant-submissive dynamic part of the roleplay, with your partner leading the decisions and you offering strategic resistance.
- You can incorporate mathematical problems to solve as part of your 'survival plan', this will add an authentic touch and can be an interesting prelude to the physical aspect of the roleplay.
- Keep the roleplay interesting by throwing in unexpected challenges or 'malfunctions' that force both of you to physically and mentally come closer to solve them.
