Writing meme

[lithic_rune]

I have not done a writing meme in aaaages. Let's do something to fix this!

1. Give me the name of a character you know I'm familiar with. I don't necessarily have to know their canon if you know I've roleplayed with them before.

2. Give me a number between 1 and 10.

3. Give me an emotion or a verb.

Do this and I will write you something based on that character. Nothing very long - in fact, the number you give me will determine how long it is. I also can't vouch for quality of characterization if I'm not familiar with the canon. But that's not the point.

The point is to give me a challenge. :3

Kratos, 7, "disgust", GO!

[lithic_rune]

His son. Why was Lloyd his son whenever he made a mess? Kratos eyed his son with no small amount of dismay even as the little boy grinned brightly up at him.

"Daddy, daddy, I kill a tomato!"

Kratos struggled to keep a straight face, to not let Lloyd see his disgust at the red flecks of pulp that covered the toddler's skin and clothes. "Yes, so I see."

Why did Lloyd have to be his son when it came to washing tomato bits off?

"Come on, admit it's cute!" Zack cajoled, gesturing toward the second cart he'd built.

"Hmm, I don't know..." Aerith hedged, tapping her chin. "It's a little... frightening, like something ShinRa built."

"But you know I built it, right?" Zack pressed. "Doesn't that earn some points? Just picture it out in an open field, with bunnies frolicking all around!"

"The bunnies might be cute," Aerith conceded, but there was a mischievous glint in her eyes when she added, "but that still doesn't help the cart!"

[lithic_rune]

Years of training as a Turk kept Tseng's face impassive as he looked out at the field. Broken bodies littered the hard, rocky ground, faceless behind ShinRa masks. Only one was different, only one dead man whose hair was free to billow in the wind.

It wasn't supposed to turn out like this. It had started off as a simple plan: force his way into AVALANCHE under the guise of his Cait Sith doll, then simply travel with them to keep tabs on what they got up to, all in the name of preventing more terrorist attacks. It had never entered into his calculations that they had good reason for what they were doing. He hadn't thought they could make him question the company and city he served.

But most of all Reeve Tuesti hadn't planned on becoming their friend.

"This will be the beginning of my greatest experiment yet," Hojo cackled, exultant, as his aides prepared the two unconscious men - no, his two new specimens.

[lithic_rune]

He'd asked her to wear pink the next time they met, so she did. Every day she wore pink - pink ribbon, pink jacket, pink dress - and every day she hoped he'd come back. Five years passed like this.

The day her heart hurt for no reason was the day she finally gave up. That was the day Aerith knew he was dead.

But she was wearing pink the day she met Cloud and saw the ghost of Zack in his eyes.

"Hey, Danny, you remember that lesson we had in Physics? The one about Schrodinger's cat?" Tucker stretched his arms up and back until he flopped onto Danny's bed.

"The one that's alive and dead?" Danny looked at his friend, curious. It didn't take a genius to guess why Tucker was thinking about it, but where was he going with it?

Tucker grinned. "Yeah, that one. Schrodinger's halfa cat. I was thinking that you should find that cat and give it to Vlad!"

[evowhisperer]

... LOL

That is perfect.

[lithic_rune]

"Give it up, you twisted fruit loop!" Danny shouted. "I'm never going to be your son!"

"Possession is nine tenths of the law, little badger." Vlad Master's teeth gleamed as he loomed, towering over the teen's prone form. "And I - have - you."

The world was broken, sliding around him in shattered pieces whenever he tried to look around. Some days were worse than others, the days when green tinged his vision and all he could hear was rain. Rain and the wet sound of someone struggling to breathe.

Something shriveled in his soul when that sound stopped.

Those days, oddly enough, it was a mirror that helped. He didn't know why. Nothing looked right. Hair that was blond that should have been black - except, no, hadn't someone once teased him before because he looked like a chocobo? Skin that was too pale, and he was too short - (I'm afraid you got your height from your father.) Looking in a mirror only seemed to emphasize how broken his mind still was.

But when he looked at his eyes, everything felt all right. Bright blue, glowing with mako - the color of the sky. He knew those eyes. Those were his eyes. And it didn't matter if that was his reflection, or if it was someone else. Both were what he wanted.

He touched the mirror, a lump in his throat. "We made it," he whispered. "We made it to Midgar, Cl-." Cloud. Zack.

He couldn't say both names at the same time.

YOU BROUGHT THIS ON YOURSELF

"Alright, rookie, listen up!" Cid barked at his newest recruit. "If you goddamn well want to be pilot on my ship, there's two things you need to know. The first thing is that I'm the goddamn captain and my word is law. The second is that if you crash my ship, you damn well better hope that you die on impact, because I will make the rest of your life a living hell!"

The results on this latest experiment were promising - so much so that it was tempting to proceed straight to the next step without any reprieve for the subjects involved. If it had just been Specimen Z, Hojo would have done just that, knowing that that particular sample was hardy enough to withstand the added stress. Unfortunately, Specimen C was also involved, a specimen so pathetic that it was a miracle he'd even survived life in the infantry before. There had to be something deeper to him, though, or he never would have been able to take down Sephiroth, Hojo's greatest creation so far.

If only there was a way to duplicate the exact circumstances involved...

Second prompt

[lithic_rune]

Duplicate...

Suddenly Hojo's lips curled up as it struck him exactly what needed to be done. "Yes, yes, I see it now - I cannot recreate the conditions unless I recreate Sephiroth! You!"

He jabbed a finger at Specimen Z, hardly caring that the creature's eyes had slitted open and was staring at him with undiluted hate.

"You will help me go beyond the powers of science! You'll be the next Sephiroth!"
