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 3 and 10.

3. Give me a one sentence prompt.

Do this and I will write something for you. <3 Please put each prompt in a separate thread. That'll make it easier to keep track of which response goes to which prompt, as well as keeping track of which prompts I've filled.

Harpuia ~

7

"A clear conscience is a sure sign of a short memory."

Whoo boy, I'm a little rusty on this one. Hope this sounds alright!

[lithic_rune]

From an outsider's perspective, Harpuia's expression was dispassionate as he stared at the broken reploid's form. Inside, however, his was torn. By all rights, he should eliminate this threat, this rebel who seemed hellbent on disturbing the peace that Harpuia fought to protect.

But he couldn't.

Because now he knew, and he knew he couldn't in good conscience forget. Zero wasn't just a rebel; he was once X's best friend.

That counted a lot for him.

“There are few reasons for telling the truth, but for lying the number is infinite.”
― Carlos Ruiz Zafón, The Shadow of the Wind

Something will definitely burn...

[lithic_rune]

Most people thought that Kunsel generally told the truth. Most people never realized how much he lied to them. He was just really, really good at covering it, hiding the lies on his face with his helmet, and hiding the lies in his voice with text. There wasn't malice behind his lies - just simple self-preservation.

Truth in a place like ShinRa was a good way to get you killed.

But it wasn't until he got the company mail that told him Zack Fair had died that he realized that sometimes it was the lie that was more deadly. The lie that Zack was dead, the lie that it wasn't the company that was responsible to begin with - the lie that ShinRa wasn't turning on its own.

The lies that meant that Kunsel had nothing else to lose.

Let's just see how deadly I can make those lies for them.

....I can smell the smoke from here.

Oh snap... This is why no one pisses off Kunsel, isn't it.

I loved it sodfuhdsf

A. Danny Fenton, 6. "Living, dead, neither state mattered very much to Danny in the end--at least, it didn't unless it was moving from one to the other."

B. Kunsel, 10. "It was a phone from the future."

C. Light Yagami, 4. "Of all the people he expected to figure him out, Sayu wasn't one of them."

D. Dr. Light, 7. "Sometimes he wished he could unwrite the guilt that followed him."

A.

Danny tried to crack a smile, but in the end it came out too weak to really earn the name. "Funny," he whispered, "how I never... feared death... Not like most people do. I was always half... halfa..."

The world grayed as he held onto Jazz's hand.

"Now... I'm scared... but I'm whole."

Jak, 2, "nothing is ever that simple."

[lithic_rune]

Whoops, you didn't pick a number between 3 and 10. Taking that as license to fudge my own rules a little~


Wind through his hair and sun on his face, salty ocean spray splashing on his skin - sometimes life seemed as simple as this. Of course, inevitably that was when someone pulled out a blaster and started shooting at him. But you know what? Screw them. Jak's wheels on his dune buggy screeched as he spun around to face his pursuers, a wild grin on his face.

"Eat this!" Daxter shouted from his shoulder, morph gun gripped in his paws. The following explosions weren't simple at all, and it didn't kill all the marauders. Nothing was ever that simple, after all - but Jak wouldn't have had it any other way.

[chordatesrock]

Sorry I got the number wrong!

Anyway, nice work! Very sweet, for something about explosions and battles. :)

[lithic_rune]

Haha, it's fine! But in this case, I was using the number to determine how many sentences to write, and it's hard to capture an idea and tell a story with just two sentences. That's why I switched to paragraphs instead.

Thank you~

Kunsel, 8, "If he'd known that would be the last time they'd speak, he'd have said something more meaningful."

[lithic_rune]

His inbox was empty. He had no orders waiting from HQ, he'd skimmed through the ShinRa news, looked at all the fan mail from the fan clubs he kept tabs on, caught up on gossip and rumors, and moved each message to the folder it belonged to. There was nothing left. Nothing to hide the fact that he was still waiting, still hoping for one more message to come in.

Please, don't let my last message be the last. Kunsel had meant every word then, and still did, but now... After five years of silence, it didn't feel adequate.

Not as a last goodbye.

[modulatingphase]

remorseless feels breaker. that's what you are. ;;

[lithic_rune]

Hey, you give me prompts like that, you're kind of asking for it~
