    Freddy Kruger, as long as I have prep time. Get a good night sleep the night before? Staying awake for 24 hours is pretty trivial. I can get up at 6 one morning and stay up til 6 the next morning. I’m willing to screw my sleep cycle up for a few days in exchange for 3 billion dollars.

    Specifically chasing for 24 hours… So, any of the antagonists that require planning, or are infirmed … Or both?

    John Kramer, the jigsaw killer. Bitch has terminal brain cancer and is in a wheelchair most of the time. I don’t think he could come up with a jigsaw plan, kidnap and execute it in that much time.

      I was also going to say the SAW guy, but for different reasons:

      John only targets people who he knows, who morally disgust him, or people who have personally made his own life considerably worse, or slighted him in some way.

      If the scenario is… I have to survive 24 hours without being targetted by one of his kidnapping and torture plots…

      Well, I do not have any deep, hidden secrets, I do not deny any part of my past to anyone willing to ask about it, I do not pretend to be something I am not. I have of course made mistakes, but they’ve never ruined any one’s life, and I freely admit and take responsibility for them.

      Frankly, given my considerably traumatic life thus far, and my current status of… being crippled, doing not much beyond PT and lemmyposting all day, untill I finish recovery… and given that I have actually made friends out of actual, diagnosed sociopaths before…

      I really do not think I would be the kind of person John would have any problem with.

      If the scenario was just poof, both of us appear in a room and are both there for 24 hrs… we just… talk? Trauma bond over our fucked up lives?

      John has, more than once, recruited into his schemes people who… pass his tests, whom he does not find morally abhorent.

      I don’t have to agree with him on every single issue, I mostly just have to not be a hypocrite, and not intentionally try to offend or harm him.

      Oh right, given that I have actually been held captive by a fentanyl addled mad man, for a week, and managed to talk my way into letting me leave… and then stumble over to a nearby firestation and tell them to call the police…

      If I have actually survived a week of a very similar situation, I think I can survive just 24 hrs with a fictional character, who has a much, much more consistent, albeit still fucked up worldview.

          Thanks for believing me.

          Yeah, when I’m feeling down… I can always look back on that, objectively tell myself ‘I’ve survived worse’, and give myself a pat on the back for that, haha!

    The Tyrannosaurus rex from Jurassic Park because first of all, I’m actually pretty sure I’d be fine so long as I can get in my car and drive away at a reasonable pace. Secondly, just think of the absolutely incredible collateral damage. Even if I get killed, it would be one of the most talked-about and confusing incidents in American history for the rest of time.

    Sadako. Her curse takes 7 days to take effect, assuming it’s gone once 24 hours are up. Else, Jaws can’t get you if you’re nowhere close to the sea.

    This made me look up the actual Predator code of Honor and I quote

    "Unarmed and/or “innocent” beings may be hunted if they:

    Are the specific objective of a hunt."
    

    Sorry Op, you’re still screwed.

    Jaws is objectively the best choice anyway. Just drive inland.

    I wanted to say Freddy, because 24 hours without sleep would be easy-peasy. …then I realized Im not a teenageer anymore and would probably take a nap anyways.
