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!

[ota info in journal]

[ A runaway princess who was locked into an arranged marriage as soon as she turned 21 and decided she was going to make a contract with a luck deity about it and run away to fulfil her dream of seeing the world and studying its inhabitants. Polite, friendly, observant, good-natured and clever, though a little bit naive, occasionally to quick to trust and even quicker at getting in over her head for the purposes of learning something new or better understanding something.

Full impressions, permissions & NSFW prefs are linked in journal! ]

[ A grouchy teenage mech pilot preparing to fight against the kaiju invading her world through the use of a giant robot known as a Sentinel. A mission gone horribly wrong left her with brain trauma that contributes to frequent pain and memory loss. Grumpy and abrasive and seemingly aloof and detached, she's got a softer heart... somewhere under the 1000 protective layers of aggression and depression grime.

Full info & permissions are on my journal! No smut, teens only for anything shippy but open to anything else! ]

[Artifact repatriation expert turned interim superhero.

Fëanor's 3/7 son, bad temper, animal lover

She reaches out to scratch behind Huan's ear, smiling at him. "You're my favorite, you know." Irissë loves all dogs, but Huan is especially winning, and adorable when he's lying in the grass like a giant puppy. With a laugh, she looks from Huan to her cousin.

"I heard something interesting from Father today. You might be interested, too." The Sun is radiant in the sky, the wind is soft, and birds are singing—a shining day, but a little too quiet. Irissë doesn't prefer to be silent and still for too long—and Tyelkormo is much the same, in her experience.

❛ Hah! So I know. ❜

Closed eyes and beneath a smirk, and overfull confidence; she's his favorite cousin too. Ah, she meant Huan. Tyelkormo's hand is buried in the fur around his neck, alongside. To know that the plains of Beleriand have come to be home to his hunts, it's a comfort as he had not thought to find again when the flight of the Noldor had driven him and his kin out of Valinor.

Yet, patience is all the fields and woodlands have to offer for a few hours more. Írissë knows him just well to make that guess. ❛ Hm? ❜

Edited 2022-05-31 10:58 (UTC)

Írissë might truthfully say Tyelkormo is her favorite as well, but it wouldn't do to feed his ego too much; she has to dole such compliments out relatively sparingly. Not that she thinks his ego will suffer for it.

"I'm not sure if he meant for me to hear it..." It's not that Father believes her less able than others. No, she suspects he avoids telling her certain things because she is capable and confident, and therefore eager to leap at a chance for novelty or adventure.

"His scouts have discovered a very interesting kind of game to the north."

Biologically, it was closest to an Earth wolf. Physically, though? It looked like an utter nightmare. Dark red, its shoulder was as high as her chest, and she knew she was tall. Probably outweighed her by about a hundred kilograms.

Una shot it again, grimacing at the pain in her thigh. It shook its head at her muzzily, then advanced again, huge feet crunching on the snow underfoot.

She'd been on some challenging away missions. This was definitely one of them.

She took another step back, and chanced a look over her shoulder. Maybe she could get up that tree.

[Looks good to me]

Whoever's decision it was to let the captain and the first officer down on the planet together wasn't making the best choices, but then again, Pike isn't known for his self-preservation skills.

He’s well-hidden for now and takes in the whole situation. One angry space-wolf-thing and one injured and bleeding first officer. Scaring it probably wasn't going to work and stunning it with a phaser might just piss it off, but he’s willing to take that chance. It would give him time to get to Una and a head start.

It takes a second for him to line up the shot, but he hits the space-wolf-thing, and makes his way out from behind the bush and to Una’s side, “We should get out of here. Can you walk?”

Pike’ll deal with the first aid aspects of all this once that thing is well behind them.

{OOC: Quiet, calm, but also arrogant and vain. Likes violence a little too much. A whole slew of existential issues he's forcing himself to work through. Hates humans as a group, but ends up with soft spots for some of them. Has an emotional support robo-insect named Bob.

AUs, OCs, crosscanon, all of it is good. And I can do the starter, if you prefer!}

C/P FROM PROFILE:
For those unfamiliar... Ryder is the leading playable character that may play as a male or a female. Because Mass Effect is a role-playing game, the player controls what Ryder does and says throughout the game. Different personality mixtures can apply to them, making each Ryder unique.

Mass Effect: Andromeda separates each available personality type into four options; CASUAL, LOGIC, EMOTION, and PROFESSIONALISM.

This Ryder's (female, Sara) psychological profile can be found here.

[finished s4 but please mark any spoilers for others!]

[ info. quick rundown: legislator/adviser to the Sacred Council and the Senate of his country, inspired by Ancient Greece/Rome. manipulative and controlling at his worst, charming and charismatic at his best. talks a lot of bullshit, but makes it sound good. infamous for his orgies. chaotic neutral. assumed cr, canon mashing and multiversal shit is go. m/m for shipping, wide ota for the rest. willing to go hard mode for this! if you want me to write the starter, let me know. ]

[ the brubaker run. ]

[Leader of a small group of Déanists mislabeled as a cult by people outside of it. Actually works to weaken and dismantle other cults, is hardworking and thoughtful, but the toll of trying to bolster the faith of others, maintain his own, not get killed by someone he's angered and deal with no Earthly reward for his work besides constant mistrust is wearing him down. Loving and kind but also very tired. Leaning on the Mother God to get by.]
