And what is your heart's desire?

[cursedhyacinth.livejournal.com]

Oh no. I may be stupid, but I'm not so stupid as to answer that question...

Ari Tayrey | original character (SF)

[astrogator]

[ooc: info in journal, open to all, previous/assumed CR very welcome, pick any prompt or combine!]

i. The stars have changed. All wrong.
ii. They're all smiles and laser guns.
iii. Uncharted planet, familiar spacesuit, dessicated skeleton.
iv. Time traveler turned tide of war.
v. You'll never know that I lied.
vi. We created that myth. It grew.

[Skeletons scare Paul less than their implications - namely, that he and Ari aren’t the first human visitors here and that something nasty had happened to the first landing party. He chokes back bile and examines the skeleton. If it decayed in its spacesuit, it’s been here for a while.]

What killed them? Hard to tell with a skeleton, but the body doesn’t look like an animal attack.

[He cautiously approaches. A skeleton can’t hurt him, and he wants to solve the mystery. If something killed this person it could threaten them, so he wants to do some forensics. He faces Ari with a preliminary report.]

No symbols. Spacesuit’s a recognizable make, but the person was unaffiliated as far as I can tell. Maybe they ate the wrong plants or died of exposure. I’d need a closer look at the bones.

Loki / MCU / OTA

[coldsong]

Two sentence horror; one sentence short.

[Or hit me with a prompt, I'm easy.]

[cursedhyacinth.livejournal.com]

I think you can imply plenty of horror in just a single sentence. It's all in the delivery, really. For example -- "Dear God, what is that thing?"

[desertpowered]

[Paul looks at Loki curiously. Horrors are something he knows about. Arguably, he is one himself in a fledgling stage.]

I’ll admit there are things I’ve wanted to ask but didn’t want to disturb you or the children. But I don’t scare easily.

But here’s something I’m willing to discuss. I told you about the great worms, right? Shai-Hulud?

[prefers_magneto]

One sentence is usually all I need.

Harvey Dent / DC

[deathbycoin]

a. And things, as things do, changed.
b. I happen to believe in rehabilitation.
c. You still look like a movie.
d. He's the only family I have.

B.

[oversight]

Would certainly hope so, yeah. If you didn't, then what'd be the point? Money, I guess. Beats the hell outta me — I wouldn't wanna do it.

That's not always a bad thing.

What? I happen to like karaoke.
Borrow books at your own risk.

[prefers_magneto]

I only want to know what your books say about the origin of mutants. I've heard many theories.

Re: Wong - MCU

[asianjeffgordon]

[ omg wong <3 ]

I could tell. You were belting out "Hotel California" like you knew it from heart.

What we love never really ends.

[Cora is... contemplative, having complicated feelings about subjects like this.]

What about the people we love who are gone? What happens to them?

En... do I need to get the spray bottle or do I need to hug you?

1. "Please tell me you brought coffee."
2. "Don't talk while I'm counting reps."
3. "You're in no condition to drive."
4. "I'm going to kick their ass."
5. "All I want is a hug."

You realize I will need something more specific if you want my help.

Clara Oswald | Doctor Who | OTA

I'll be dust with the stars.

Re: Clara Oswald | Doctor Who | OTA

[sillyolddoctor]

The woman seemed familiar.

Like they’d met before yet he couldn’t quite place the big brown eyes, the accent or swirl of hair.

“You’d be in good company.”

He offered a small hopeful smile, his hands absentmindedly fiddling with the reading glasses in his pocket.

[Wasn’t sure if it was his Clara or an echo — really sorry if I’ve got it wrong!]
