x_projectAnd since I figured more people might want to make requests... ;)
Leave me the name or one or two characters (it doesn't have to be only game characters, though if I don't know the one requested well enough I'll ask for an alternative), along with a writing promt such as those listed in the previous drabbles post and I'll write you something. It may go from a one liner to a drabble ~ I'll just go with whatever inspirations strikes me with. :)
You can ask for more than one drabble per request and ask for more after your requests are fulfilled, too.
Cheers and happy new year, everyone!

Me First!!
Date: 2006-01-02 09:42 pm (UTC)Also (because I'm greeeeeedy) Terry--Crescendo.
Re: Me First!!
Date: 2006-01-02 09:47 pm (UTC)And yet, each time he saw Terry in a hallway at the school, ducking out of his sight as soon as she noticed him nearby, he couldn't help but think that there was no pot of gold worth even the slighest chance of reconciliation with his daughter.
~*~
Terry stood outside in the gardens, unmoving and silent, trying to make herself as unnoticeable as possible. The bright shock of red hair lured in many a bird, as opposed to making them flit away and to her delight, she soon found herself surrounded by several swallows, each of them chirping away as they greeted spring with small chirps while hopping about the grass at the girl's feet.
The sound of their wings was echoed by another, far larger wingspan high above and Terry thought that the brightest of crescendos didn't need voices to carry it aloft, after all.

Re: Me First!!
Date: 2006-01-02 09:58 pm (UTC)The turtle finally dared to swim closer, until it was finally near enough to nose at green braid of hair which had first attracted its attention. Almost delicately, it opened its mouth and then sampled the seaweed-not-seaweed, unaware of the widening green eyes staring at it in stunned surprise.
The baby turtle peeking up from under the larger turtle's shadow, eyeing the braid with equal curiosity, was Lorna's undoing. Maybe she'd just settle for a hair trim that afternoon, after all.

Miles vs the tower of couch cushions.
Re: Me First!!
Date: 2006-01-02 10:06 pm (UTC)It wasn't often, that Davey came out to play, after all. Or that any of the others sharing his mind actually helped along before slowly stepping aside and letting the child take the lead.
Re: Me First!!
Date: 2006-01-02 10:13 pm (UTC)*squishes them all*
Hmmm. Ickle!Mansion Brats (Terry, Bobby, Kitty, Jubilee, etc)
Re: Me First!!
Date: 2006-01-02 10:37 pm (UTC)All Bobby knew was that he didn't want to be like that, when all was said and done.
Then a girl walked right through his door and bossily told him that the afternoon snack was ready and if he didn't get up now and move, she'd sick Terry on him, or even worse, Jubilee. And while Bobby wasn't sure if that was bad, the dark haired boy suddenly popping up at his window to wave cheerfully at the girl, only to topple backwards in an explosion of many bodies had him so surprised that it gave the girl all the time in the world she needed to kick him out the window he'd been leaning out of.
The boy with the wings caught him in mid-fall, laughing cheerfully the entire time at the look on his face, while a short haired redhead shook a finger at them all and berated everyone assembled in the front yard with a thick, scottish accent, though Bobby could see the smile trying to take over.
And as he was gently set down, Bobby watched the welcoming party taking shape and thought that maybe it wasn't such a bad thing he could make ice cream, because they didn't seem to have nearly enough to satisfy that many kids.

Kylun, Rachel, powder.
Dani, Rahne, kitchen
Jamie, wizard, shoes
Re: Me First!!
Date: 2006-01-02 11:58 pm (UTC)~*~
Rachel paused in her bid for baby freedom, entranced by the sight before her. Snow drifted and floated about, each snowflake floating anew after its first fall to the ground as Kylun whirled in a sometimes slow, sometimes lightning fast pattern, dancing with winter. The blades flickered through the sunlight and the snow lived once more as it joined in the weave of life, a powdering of light and life wrapping itself about a core of heat and humanity.
When Moira finally caught up, Rachel had joined the dance in her own way, kicking up small tufts of snow in the air for Kylun's blades to pick up and add to the swirling mass around him, both of them laughing with the freedom of innocents.
~*~
Dani and Rahne stood in the doorway to the kitchen, one eyeing the sparkling clean counters and ovens warily while the other leaned forward, scenting the air with casual carefulness.
Lorna was gone but the kitchen was still, somehow, inescapably her domain, merely lent out to the rest of the mansion in her absence. Both girls had to learn its current condition by heart before stepping in, they knew, so that when Lorna returned, the kitchen would be awaiting her, exactly in the condition she'd left it.
~*~
When he was young, Jamie had firmly believed that there was someone out there, someone magical and special who placed new shoes just inside his bedroom by the door, every time he outgrew the old ones. He'd tried to catch this mysterious person for many years, until finally, one day, the shoes had stopped showing up even though he hadn't finished growing yet.
Since then, every time Jamie wears out a pair of shoes (which happens faster than you'd think, from the accumulated wear of many a dupe), he sends them back home. His mother knows what to do with them, even though they've never spoken on the matter, and every now and then a pair of shoes replaced the worn one set there beforehand, forever marking the grave of Jamie's grandfather.
See grandpa? I figured out. And I still miss you, is the unspoken and unwritten message.

New greed!
Jubilee, Ororo, sunshine
Jean, Jay, video games
Re: Me First!!
Date: 2006-01-04 05:21 am (UTC)But seeing Ororo hover several feet up in the air in the middle of the garden, brilliant white hair cascading about her in a swirling waterfall of suntouched brightness as she greets the dawning day causes her to forget about breathing or even thinking, and Jubilee has to admit at least to herself that there are some things the bright city lights just can't even begin to match.
~*~
It was the third TV to suffer the same fate, smoke curling out from its sides in a forlorn question mark. Sighing, Jay shook his head and gently retrieved the game pad from Jean's grasp, lips twitching at the half-embarassed, half-defiant look she sent his way.
"Miss Grey... Ah just don't think you ought to be playing them games no more. Not until ya'll stop tryin' to move them blocks about with that telekinesis instead of the game pad 'n all."

Re: Me First!!
Date: 2006-01-02 11:17 pm (UTC)Re: Me First!!
Date: 2006-01-02 11:24 pm (UTC)Nathan, Sam, whiskey.
Shiro, Doug, Asgard.
Manuel, Selene, control.
Re: Me First!!
Date: 2006-01-02 11:31 pm (UTC)So when Sam finally gave in to the good-natured teasing and proceeded to drink Nathan under the table, everyone but Jamie and Piotr was surprised, to say the least.
~*~
There were many things Shiro and Doug had brought back from Asgard, some of them tangible and some not.
But when insomnia struck and both boys found themselves in the kitchen, waiting for the hot chocolate to be ready (or tea, depending on who had arrived first), it was the thumb wrestling that won, every time.
But they always made sure never to play when Miles might be around, considering how scary good the smaller boy was at that particular game.
~*~
There were people that were easier to control than others - their fears drove them on, gifted them with easily found and used weaknesses which were always akin to the sweetest song for the creature named Selene.
The boy was among those easiest of all to control, for his fears had ruled him for so long already that he never noticed when one leash was replaced with another.
Re: Me First!!
Date: 2006-01-02 11:43 pm (UTC)Oh, I love them.
Except that I am now tempted to just keep suggesting things now that I know how good they'll turn out. ;)
Thank you!
Re: Me First!!
Date: 2006-01-02 11:51 pm (UTC)Feel free to ask for more. ;) The Greedy One certainly did!

Clarice, Betsy, memory
Alison, Catseye
I am also woefully greedy. ;)
Re: Me First!!
Date: 2006-01-03 12:11 am (UTC)So seeing Thomas on the doorstep one day is something of a shock. But then he pulls closer to himself a petite blonde, nervously tugging at a lock of hair while clinging to Thomas' arm, her blue antennae twitching slightly in nervousness and curiosity as she tries not to stare too obviously at the statuesque redhead in the doorway.
"Oh," she says, knowing instantly how close the two are, feeling the anxiousness radiating from Thomas. "Of course we'll help you, Thomas. Come inside!"
~*~
There is a particular joy which both Shiro and Lorna share, and the important people in their lives are not privy to it, neither Alex nor Leyu. It takes the shape of powers freely unleashed, abilities pushed to their limits and beyond, new ideas and notions shared and tested, and ultimately proven to be better than what was before.
One day, they hope, there will be an understanding shared with the special people in their hearts. But until then, they are content to share this between themselves. The joy as well as the hope for the future.
~*~
Betsy stares at Clarice's skin under the sun, and remembers the day when her hair and eyes turned purple, the outwards signs of something infinitely more sinister. For all of the hardships such an obvious mutation has given the younger girl, Betsy cannot help but envy Clarice.
For her changes are merely skin deep, a shift of tone and nothing more. They do not embody the signs of something far more encompassing and tragic, as the smaller and outwardly subtle changes upon Betsy themselves do.
~*~
There is a game that is played, every day, and both delight in it though they know the outcome will be the same, each and every time.
The cat lies in wait in the hallway, trying to dart inside the rooms Alison shares with Haroun. Each time, Alison manages to snag the furry purple creature, though one time the cougar sized cat did manage to tumble her over in a surprise shout of laughter before being dragged out into the hallway by the ear..
Haroun is allergic to cats, so Alison can't let the girl in, not while she's in either of her cat shapes. Catseye is still, in many essential ways, a cat - and always she'll try to sneak in, because that is what a cat does, when someone is allergic to them.

2. Oh, perfect.
3. Lovely.
4. Best. Thing. Ever.
