bakerstreet | drabble it out.

DRABBLE! (From Wiki) A short work of fiction of one hundred words in length. The purpose of the drabble is brevity, testing the author's ability to express interesting and meaningful ideas in a confined space.

How to play -

1. Top-level with your character. Include prefs and info as you like.
2. Others respond to your top level with a tag of exactly 100 words in length, inspired by one of 100 prompt words below. Take it from there.
3. Optional hard mode! Every tag in your thread has to be drabble-length - or you can stick to it being just the starter, I'm not the cops.
4. Happy writing!

[ Pass on smut, assumed CR absolutely fine. ]

[open to any of the prompts.]

['Biology'? 'Queen'? Yeah, these fit. But let's face it. She's more of a grumpy old lady who needed way more in the way of metal stimulation who figured out that humans are perfectly bite-sized.]

「 Nothing smutty please - assumed CR cool tho. 」

(info
Nothing smutty please!)

(A-48)
[The local children are particularly excited, going by the sound of it. They're shouting--whooping, really, in triumph or disappointment. Even a road away, they sound like a frenzied little stampede. And here is one more notable sound: a man's voice calling instructions. Again! Left! Back now! To me! Away! He rings out clear as a cloudless night, the stars all crisp for any navigator.

Estinien is the one calling out. He has the children running laps, and they seem to love it. Comfortable in his rigid posture, he's enjoying it too. He isn't smiling--but he is enjoying this, isn't he?]

(B-19)
[The grip of the pen is horizontal between his teeth, stuck thoughtlessly in his thoughtless grimace. The nib is dry, which is the problem. It bore enough ink to spatter over his cheek, and that's that. Estinien makes do with a stick instead. It's almost the same fit in his hand as the pen, burnt into charcoal at one end. He scratches away at a journal.

Hunched over, near the campfire, he raises his eyes. His teeth are too clenched for him to speak, so he just shrugs. It's uncharitable and curt, but all his diligence goes into the writing.]

(B-16)
[Estinien has been moving swiftly. His gait is still a walk, but there's so much power in his strides that one wonders if his feet quite touch the ground when he moves this way. But such is his habit: he's comfortable doing it, breezing down the familiar city lane.

So his halt nearly is an audible screech, when he rounds the corner before his companion and then stops short. He almost springs back; then he's immediately off in the other direction.]

Not that way, [he says, sounding like a jagged cliff's face--and like he's got something in his throat.]

(or, of course, bring your own prompt and/or starter! let me know if you have any scenarios you want to work out beforehand--and LMAO i will definitely not be able to stick to hard mode on these.)

[The absence of an answer is as much an answer as any number of words. Aymeric can't say he was expecting anything when he asked after Estinien, after what the man might be writing in his journal--he can't say he's disappointed now. That hasn't dampened his curiosity, however. He's still trying to angle himself in such a way that he can see what's written on those pages (without giving himself away). The flickering campfire makes it impossible...

Aymeric shrugs himself.] If you were to wait until we've returned to base camp, you would not need to resort to burnt sticks.

Muldoon doesn't name wild animals. Even if they're put in a pen.

That doesn't stop the other park workers from doing just that. Naturally when they first set eyes on the impressive tyrannosaur for the first time there was a mad dash to name her. When, after months of constant bickering for the honour, Muldoon had to veto ‘Toothy McTootherson’ he decided he’d had enough.

First thing on a Monday morning he’s out before anyone else has had their first cup of coffee. Armed with a drill, the sign at the tyrannosaur pen gets an addition.

‘Tyrannosaurus Rex’
‘Name: Regina’

[ Dorne does not often get visitors from other royals, it being a small, proud nation, but Elia is pleased that she and Princess Sophie have finally gotten the chance to meet in person. And of course, it is no true trip to Dorne if one does not walk the beaches, the long stretches of sand.

Her guards trail at a distance, as they always do, but Elia is dressed casually in a simple sundress. She looks at the sea, and the sunset over it, before turning to Sophie again with a smile. ] How long do you think you will stay?

You know what draws her attention early in the morning when she's trying to sleep off some goat? Drilling noises. That and there's some sense memory there - when she'd been moved in, they'd thought she was too little to go after human prey, but she'd grown a lot faster than they'd planned. At any rate, the last workers to do drill work inside the paddock had given her a very merry chase. Somewhere, in the paddock, she still had one of their shoes.

And she comes up to where he working on that fence very slowly, that massive head just sliding out of the foliage at just above his own head height, regarding him on the other side of the wire.

[Sometimes Ronan can't decide whether racing is a battle or an art. It always starts the same. A stop light, an exchanged glanced, a revved engine, a shift of gears, a foot heavy on the gas pedal. Tonight is like many nights - a race, and a winning one. Screeching tires, open windows, the smell of gasoline.

[And then, all at once, a pedestrian!

[Tires squeal as he comes spinning to a stop. At first he can't tell if he's hit her. When he exits his car and sees that he hasn't, he curses.]

Fucking seriously?

[As if it's her fault!]

「 This time of night, it’s ideal for walking. Alone or with dogs, either way.

Usually, anyway.

Tonight it’s the latter; she only has two of them with her, Judge and Lady, but the former is the largest – very large indeed, but therefore also a bit slower physically than her German Shepherd.

On that note, the physical comedy of her quite literally diving in front of him when the car comes to a squealing halt would be hilarious if it wasn’t such a close call. 」

Hey, dickhead - where the fuck did you learn to drive, you daft cunt.
