Random scenario test drive meme! For all you thinking about apping to our fair game. Because all our characters are the modern reincarnates of the people we canon reviewed for, you need a modern AU! Post your character with a couple details about who they are now. Use a prompt to set the scene! And tag around.
RAIN: The weather sucks and you gotta share a bus stop, overhang, or other cozy space with someone.
MONSTERS IN THE PARK: Doesn't really matter what they are, it's time to run and/or fight!
NEW ECHO: augh you were minding your own business in public and now you have feathers for hair, or you just had a vivid flashback to being a wizard, or suddenly you have your preincarnation's clothes on. Someone help! Or point and laugh, that works too.
NORMAL DAY AT THE MALL OR WHEREVER: Slice of life happens too!
WILD CARD: You can't be contained by these paltry prompts! Get out there and combine them or make your own!
Rain
The weekend weighed heavily on Tula's mind - another weekend of balancing schoolwork and housework for the family. All the same, the patterns of droplets on the bus stop soothed her; she could never be angry when it rained. Too much of life depended on the rain seeping down into the Earth - and when she thought of how far those roots could carry plants, let alone animals, it softened her stress and helped remind her why all of her passions were important - friends, country, passion, family.
Even if her professor thought she'd be a better politician than an Ecologist.
"It's a nice thought, but it'd never happen. I'll stick with Ecology."
OH MY GOD PIRATES OF DARKWATER you are a beautiful person
It was unfortunate, but there was no way around it. Cradling her large stack of books to her chest like children, she tucked her head down and sprinted in the general direction of the bust stop. Kara's sport was wrestling, not track, but she hoped that desperation would help her reach her goal before getting too soggy.
She slid underneath the bus stop (or what she hoped was the bus stop) with an exasperated sigh. For all her speed she hadn't managed to avoid much, if any, of the rain, and her fire truck red hair was plastered over her eyes and onto every part of her body that it could reach. Careful not to jostle the books too much she reached up and attempted to free an eye; only then did she catch sight of the fact that she wasn't alone in her wait.
"Ah! I am sorry - I did not get you wet rushing in, did I?"
STARFIRE YESSSSSSS you are too
She smiled, but it was a little weary - knowing that such brazen geek-talk usually lost her more friends than it gained. Not that it changed how she spoke at all.
awww ty. i'm super wobbly with her atm though, i need to canon review something fierce.
It was a welcome distraction from her hair, at least, which she managed to beat back out of her face with no little effort. Now free to get a better view at who she was speaking with, Kara offered an even wider smile as she squeezed some of the excess dampness out of the edges.
"And it would be very lonely waiting at the autobus pause without someone to speak with. I do not believe mine will show up for some time."
Voice sounds pretty dang good to me!
"Which bus line is it? I'd love to hear more about interstellar sugar - my major's all groundwork. Literally!"
thanks! that's encouraging to hear. c:
For once it appeared to be a blessing, as it seemed that she had a wonderful conversation partner to chat with. No matter the circumstances, Kara was always thrilled to be presented with the opportunity to make a new friend.
"But I do not mind very much, even if today I am damp; there is very much to speak about, and I would also like to hear about your own work! I am usually looking up, so I do not inspect the ground very often. It is a wonder I have not run into anything yet."
Is it the weekend yet orz
"Tula, by the way." She reached over and extended an offer for a firm handshake.
i wish, sob
Once she'd navigated through introductions she sat down, leaning forward eagerly after carefully setting her books aside.
"That is fascinating! I only know so much about plants as one would need to work on a farm; it would be easier for me to talk about tractors than biomes." Kara laughed, a bit ruefully, before continuing to talk with cheerful energy. "You are right about the connected stars, though! There is very little in the universe that is not tangled up with everything else - I think that the word is interdependent?"
