Here are your scenarios. Remember, you may only have one character in each, and it's first come, first serve. I'll be updating this post as people comment so you can see who is where and try to jump in with them if you want to. You will have until Jan 12 to sign up if you want to take part. Please don't sign up if you don't think you're going to want to do this, or if you're not sure. Spaces are fairly limited here. On the 13th you'll see a starter post and that will be your cue to start in on it. It will be up to you to decide why your characters are in the situations they're in and what they do about it, how they're going to survive with what they're given (not to mention how they'll get along with who they're stuck with). We'll run this until the 20th.
If we run into an overflow of people I'll write up more scenarios, no worries.
EDIT: ALL FULL
========================================
============================
1.

2.
Setting: Stalled semi-truck. It's position on the road shelters it from the worst, but if the truck doesn't move in two hours it will be snowed in. The snow makes it impossible to know which direction to go in, and the front tires need to be dug out.

5.
Setting: Storage locker. One room containing somebody's boxed up things. It has a metal roll down door, and no other way out. There is a small strip of ventilation into other units, but not one that goes directly outside. You've got what looks like an entire two bedroom apartment worth of things in boxes. In the way of furniture there's a couch that has a spring exposed and a mattress that looks as if somebody might have died on it.
Pros: Very easy to keep warm due to the insulation from boxes body heat. One box contains camping equipment including an electric camping stove, an electric camping light, and a tent.

6.
Setting: The cellar of a house. The door to the outside is completely covered in snow, making it impossible to open. There are no windows, and no way into the house itself. You have a shelf filled with some camping supplies, but not many. You've got one sleeping bag to work with, one warm blanket and one ratty sheet. There's a camping stove, but it's propane and you have two full bottles of the gas to sustain you. There's a working HAM radio hardwired into the wall. There is no water except some that comes in from a crack in the foundation and puddles neatly in one corner. On another side of the room is the beginnings of a bathroom. Only the toilet is finished, and it is exposed to the rest of the room.

7.
Setting: Movie theater. A single screen traditional style film house with plush seats and a screen area that looks very much like a stage instead of a flat wall. There's a fully stocked concessions area. If you can figure out the projector, you can play movies. But the only movies that the theater has at the moment are b-rated horrors.
Pros: Heated. Entertainment. Working phone line. Extra clothing in the form of theater uniforms.
Cons: The only food there is to eat is popcorn and candy. The only fluids there are to drink are sodas or carbonated water. No real places to lay down.

8.
Setting: The morgue. It's already cold in the morgue, but not as cold as it is outside. It's one big space with a wall of freezers for corpses. And yes, there are corpses in there. Some of them have already been worked on, some of them are fresh and untouched. There's a small refrigerator in the room, but it doesn't have food in it. You find a thermostat on the wall indicating that you can turn the heat in the room up.
Pros: Full bathroom. Running water. Working phone line.
Cons: If you turn on the heater, it will start to smell. Very little food in the form of sugar-based snacks that one of the attendants hid throughout the room. The only blankets are the sheets wrapped around the corpses.

People: Ted, Logan, Kaylee, Jo
9.
Setting: The City Jail. There are six cells total in the City's jail. Plus an office complete with a desk, a bathroom, and a cot. The cot has a pillow and warm blankets on it already. The office also has a small closet that holds some winter wear for the guards. There is a padded cell at the very end of the hallway. It's warm and cozy in that room if you keep the door shut, but if you shut it all the way, it will lock from the outside. In the drawers of the desk you can find the lunches of the guards and in the cell block is the cart with the cold lunches for the inmates (who are all mysteriously missing).
Pros: Some food that can be rationed. Heat. Phone.
Cons: Phone cord has been chewed through by rodents. At night the lights automatically turn down almost all the way.
Number of people allowed: 6 max
People: 21, 24, Elizabeth, Connor, Deb, Book
10.
Setting: Two room little log cabin. Set up by somebody who knows winter and knows how to survive in the wild. There is no electricity, but the pot bellied stove completely warms the entire space easily, even the little bedroom. There is a bathroom with running water. You have a big log store with more than enough wood to run both the stove and the fireplace if you like. There is an actual ice box with freshly hunted meat that you can chill by adding more snow to it. As well as plenty of canned and dry goods to create full meals with.
Pros: Plenty of food and water. Easy to keep warm. Wind-up flashlight/radio. Fully charged cell phone.
Cons: None

11.
Setting: An apartment. You have a regular apartment with gas appliances. There is a fireplace, but no other way to heat the space. The bedroom is very cold, but the living room is quite warm. There are blankets and warm clothes in one of the closets. The bathroom works fine, but you have to relight the pilot on the water heater every time you want to make hot water come out of the faucets. The door to the apartment goes outside and the snow has piled up so high that you can see it when you look out the peep hole.
Pros: Warm and easy to keep that way.
Cons: No food at all. Box of matches holds only 20. Phone line works only occasionally and when it does it's very static-y.
