 Otherwordly Meme




Sometimes all you need is a word to spark off an idea.
1. Post a comment with your character's name, canon, and any preferences you may have (no shipping, no smut, etc.)

2. Leave the comment blank or post a word or two in the body.

It may also help if you list scenarios you would like to play.

3. Reply to other people, either with words you picked out, or words they posted as prompts for a thread.

Oh, yeah. Guess that'd be a good idea, huh?

[She looks sheepish and turns away face away to hide it as she continues behind. It's moments like these Iris is especially grateful for her brother. So caught up in the excitement of it all that she never took the opportunity to actually let Prompto know.

The question that follows makes her glance towards the spare bedrooms and her hand reaches up to cover her mouth for just a moment. A short moment because she's reaches over in an attempt to flick her brother on the back of the arm. She takes a step directly behind him so he can hear her whisper. She knows Talcott can sleep through her morning escapades, but she doesn't want to accidentally wake Noct. Even if he seems to be a heavy sleeper, it's not a risk she wants to take.

You should have told me sooner, Gladdy. I've just been stomping around here all morning.

Or take some pictures, I'm sure he'd enjoy that too.

[The small flick at his arm made him chuckle, low and rumbling. While his sister could deal some serious damage, it barely registered, but the fact that she was annoyed enough to show it was adorable.]

That guy would sleep through an earthquake. You don't have anything to worry about.

[He poked back at her, amused.]

And cut it out, would you? You're not too big to tickle.

[Gladio gently pushed the door open to the room where they were staying, heading over to his pack to fish out the package of greens that they'd been given.]

[Hearing him laugh, even though it wasn't her intent, gives her a sense of relief. Her brother's comings and goings were infrequent and they would be even more so when the group left for Altissia. She doesn't know how much longer she would be able to hear that laugh.

For a moment after, her arm is raised to poke him back, the teenager in her petulant and determined to get the last word in. Even if that word's a simple poke on the arm. His threat lingers in her mind and she lowers her hand back down with a resigned sigh.
]

Maybe not too big, but I'm too fast. There's no way you could catch me.

[She may not be willing to poke him back, but this was victory enough.]

Hey, how many greens do you have? Think we could keep some here?

[personal profile] gladibro 2017-01-22 09:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[Honestly, he had been expecting Iris to poke him again out of sheer rebelliousness ( she was at that age now, wasn't she? ), and he hid his grin in the guise of looking deeper into his pack when she didn't. It was always gratifying to know as an older brother that his word still had some sway.]

You might be quick, but I have stamina.

[Or at least, that's what he liked to think as he ran across the sands of beaches and kept a slow but steady pace.

Finally finding the small pack of greens he'd been given, he tossed it over to his sister.
]

Iggy and Prompto have most of them, but the place we rent the chocobos from are pretty generous. They make sure we never run out, so it should be fine.

[personal profile] carrotkeeper 2017-01-23 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
Oh yeah?

[The response was almost unnecessary. He spent his life training to be the prince's shield and she had done-well, she had lacked in that area. There wasn't room for argument in that area. Yet, as she caught the greens with both hands, she couldn't help to add:]

I still think I could take you.

[She said that with all the brazen confidence of someone who probably couldn't, but would do her best anyway. With an excited smile, she held the bag up and turned to walk out the door and down the stairs now that she had her prize.]

Let's hurry up and feed them. Maybe they'll stay the whole night and we can have our own chocobo farm.

[personal profile] gladibro 2017-01-23 04:53 am (UTC)(link)
[While Gladio wouldn't have taken that sort of lip from anyone else, this was his beloved baby sister he was talking to. She was crafty in her own right, and she knew weaknesses of his that no one else might be privy to. He turned back to survey her for a moment, serious, before grinning and ruffling her hair roughly.]

Of course you could. You and your army of chocobos.

[He followed after her leisurely, glancing over towards the windows to see if the chocobos were still there, still staring into the house unerringly. They were, until they caught sight of the greens and started to squawk happily, ruffling their feathers conspicuously.]

Just be careful feeding them, and not too much. They could get sick.

[There were some intelligible grumbles that came out of her mouth, protesting the mistreatment of her hair yet again. She took the opportunity to smooth it out, trying to stay quiet until they got closer to the door. The rest of the house had managed to sleep through this much action.

In that short time walking from the room to doorway, a plan had formed. As her minor act of revenge for hair ruffling and to prove that she definitely could beat brother. Maybe not in stamina but-

Well, he had already conceded she had an army of chocobos and while risky, the Amicitia family name wasn't built on safe ventures. She needed to live up to her namesake.
]

Don't worry. I won't let my army suffer from an upset stomach.

[While he had looked out the window, she had opened the pack of greens and now, in the way she doled out potions on the battlefield, attempted to reach up and pat the greens into his hair. Hopefully her plan would go unnoticed as just a friendly touch of the head.]

Come on, Gladdy. Let's go see them!

[personal profile] gladibro 2017-01-26 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
What an admirable leader.

[Gladio shot his sister a quick, amused grin as went to open up the windows. Some of the chocobos were noticeably more unsettled than others, squawking up a fuss and heading towards the back of the crowd to make room for their bolder brethren. In all the fuss, it was easy to miss the light pat Iris had done to him, though he turned to look at her questioningly.]

Sure- hey!

[One of the chocobos, eager to get at the greens, starting snapping at his precious locks.]

[It was prank she knew, once her brother saw realized what was going on, she would pay for. It's hard to care when faced with the image of a chocobo plucking at his hair and any attempt to hide her amusement ended poorly.]

The Caem army has spoken. Looks like they chose their first target.

[In between bouts of stifled laughter, she inched closer to the window, eagerly holding out a fistful greens in one hand. They sniffed the food cautiously before plucking it out of her hands. A huge smile spreading across her face when they do.]

Look, look! They're taking it!

[personal profile] gladibro 2017-01-29 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
Call them off then.

[Through gritted teeth, Gladio pushed the chocobos off, patting at his hair to both try to get in back in place and find the incriminating pieces of greens in his hair. He held them up to Iris with a small scowl as if to say 'seriously?' before wiping his hands clean of them, kicking her lightly in the butt as a reprimand for her prank. Between her, Noct, and Prompto's mischievousness, he was headed for an early grave. And possibly baldness.

Still, the spike of irritation melted away at how happy his sister looked to be feeding chocobos, shaking his head with a small smile despite himself.
]

Of course they are. These're probably leagues above wild grass.

[personal profile] carrotkeeper 2017-01-29 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
No wa-

[Before she could shake her head and finish denying his request to have the bird called off, she saw him pluck the greens out of his hair and responded to that scowl with a nod, as if saying 'Yeah, seriously'.

The little kick showed her she got off easy, all things considered, and she waved it away with a small laugh. Being the benevolent leader of the chocobos, she let the bird take the rest of the grass out of her and turned around, standing on her tiptoes to brush whatever greens remained on his shoulders.
]

Maybe we could find a way to grow some here on the other side of the field.

[Noct's job could be carrots and Gladdy's could be chocobo grass.]

[personal profile] gladibro 2017-02-03 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
[Seriously his little sister could be a little troublemaker at times. He had to wonder where she got it, because it definitely wasn't from him.

He reached over to grab a few of the greens for her to give to the nearest chocobos, trying to spread it out evenly despite how pushy many of them were, shooting a sideways glance at his sister's suggestion. The 'we' was pretty innocuous sounding, but Gladio had known his sister long enough to know what it really meant. It was touching that she would try to find ways to keep bringing them back to this house regularly, but it sounded like work.

Still-
]

Could be fun. You sure you could guard the grass from all these chocobos?
