surprise me!

surprise me?

[alas, the narration has no prompts or occasional preferences. the only reason she's actually putting words here at all, in fact, is because she feels like she should mention a few things for reference, where ever this ends up going]

[such as the fact that, I'seth looks relatively human at a distance. if you get close, though, there are a few things that are hard to miss. the slitted eyes, for one. the pattern of black scales that starts just above her right eye, along her hairline, and trails down her neck before disappearing under her armor, for another. the claws her fingers and toes end in, the latter just as obvious as the former, if only because she's not big into footwear, her feet wrapped tightly in dark green cloth, but open-toed and heeled, and that's about it. the tail's also a little hard to miss, wrapped in more black scales and leather banding, behind her]

[ ... yep. there you go. have fun]

The unsinkable ship, they said. Lovely maiden voyage they said.

Stefan's really annoyed. Also really cold.

Not that he isn't horrified by all of this, but when you're a vampire, it's all relative. Stefan can't die from drowning and he tried to help where he could, but at the end of the day, you can't save everyone, and that's a lesson that Stefan is learning the hard way.

All the same, there are little things he can do.

He catches her hand just before it goes under, and he's in the water shortly after. He can feel the way the ice cuts into his skin as he goes under, but that doesn't really matter much to him. He heals just as he always does, and it isn't long before he's catching an arm around her waist and dragging her back to the surface and into the boat of people.

He grabs a blanket, wrapping it around her shoulders and pulling her in close. "Miss? Miss can you hear me?"

surprise meeeeeeeeee. (for all of them, when I get the rest up)

okay last one

there's no reason we can't pregame. also if i'm presuming too much let me know

The story takes place outside a cave, in the day after tomorrow. One character is armed with a walking stick and a second has some ointment. They are supposed to battle a doctor, but eventually battle their target instead.

While she doesn't choose those who don't already owe her for missions all that often, but after seeing I'seth perform in the games she has to see the woman in action for herself. It's just the two of them, as Hippolyta prefers to do most of her work on her own, and they have nothing but a walking stick and some ointment.

Never let it be said that even the demigods didn't know how to have fun.

"It's just past this ridge. Shouldn't be too much further."

You're fine. :)

She's done more with less. Her mercenary company back home, the Black Fang, has gotten into some truly bizarre situations. That's what you get, though, when your ranks include a werewolf druid, an orc bard, a demon-blooded rogue, a half-fey sorceress, and her. Not that she's offered this commentary on their list of supplies, thus far, nor will she. Instead, she glances over at Hippolyta briefly, and nods.

"Good." Not that she's complaining, she doesn't mind the trek -- she does a lot of traveling by foot, back home, too -- she's just looking forward to getting on with whatever they're supposed to be doing out here. "What's the plan once we get there?"

She's a tactician, back home; she's very big on plans.

The day after Thor returns to Earth, they go out for waffles.

Jane probably could have made them herself, but, well, her cooking skills don't really extend beyond the frozen kind, and given that Thor is here and not going back to Asgard and they could actually go out and do things. She's hesitant to call them dates, because he's been here for all of a day, and she doesn't know what his being here actually means yet, but she's trying not to dwell. Or needle. Or ... only stare at him with a stupid grin on her face because none of those things are really conducive to actually getting those answers.

"So. You're here." An example of the sparkling conversation over their breakfast this morning. The stupid grin is still there as she pours syrup over her plate with one hand, and reaches out to poke one strong arm across the table from her with the other. "Actually ... here."

[dupes]

"This is a terrible idea."

Probably a phrase that Deeks hears frequently from his partner, but never quite in this context. Mostly because he's never been known to shove a game console controller in her hand, sit her down on his couch and tell her that they're going to defeat the Evil Hand of Kensi-Doesn't-Care. Kensi doesn't do video games. Kensi understands that she's his only option as his normal partner bailed on him in favor of having a life, but what is Kensi not doing right now?

That's right. Caring.

She makes a face at him as she turns to face him again. "What makes you think I can actually help you with this?"

[undermyfeet]

An afreet demon and a magma manipulater walk into a bar and three hours later they find themselves in a jail cell.

Probably not for the reasons you're thinking.

See, the problem with bars not putting big, neon, "NO WANDERER ALLOWED" signs on their front door, is that when a Wanderer sympathizer (though it's a really like Wanderer apathetic, Alexander doesn't particularly care one way or another) and his Wanderer friend walk in, looking for a drink and find big heaping glasses of animosity instead. Alexander doesn't really do well with animosity.

Probably why he's sporting the black eye he is right now. At least the cops were nice enough to get him an ice pack.

He leans back against the wall with a groan, trying not to focus too much on how he hurts. That will heal up soon enough. He takes a breath, and then glances over to Billie. "You okay?"

Reasons Why Rifts Suck - a commentary by Damian Jericho.

While the reasons why rifts happen to suck are many and probably are far to expansive for this particular commentary there are several that are coming to mind after the end of the world, and they are listed as follows:

One, when he jumped through the big ominous rift at the end of the world with his pack, he expected to land in the same place with his pack. Not down the actual rabbit hole to land in the realm of smoking caterpillars and a large talking cat that the canine in him strongly dislikes.

Two, it did not need to mess with his natural werewolf abilities. He was happy with his second snake form. It did not need to change it into a dachshund of all things.

Though, if he is to be completely honest with himself, this is much much better for his cute factor than his previous second form. All the same, it's just weird.

Three, while he appreciates cluing him into this change in events so early on in his arrival in Wonderland, as well as the fact that he seemed to find a rather pretty companion who picked him up simply because he's cute, it could have picked a much more opportune moment to turn him back into a person again.

Especially if there was an option where clothing was available.

So sorry, Alice. Have a very tall, very naked werewolf who was formerly a dachshund and really does still want to be your friend.

"Hi." He smiles. "I can explain."

In this magical alternate reality universe - maybe a future!Hiro went back in time and screwed something up again, this time actually for the better - the children(/grandchildren in Claire's case as she is ... both) of the Company founders rise up against Angela Petrelli the Man, and reclaim it for the actual betterment of powered people everywhere. For the most part, it's working. There are checks. And balances. And rules that people actually follow.

As the narration previously stated, it's a magical place. And in this magical place, Elle and Claire become a badass agent team, tracking powered people and helping to bring them in, showing them that there's a better way than going nuclear and almost destroying the world. (Or zapping them if they refuse to behave - Elle's power comes in handy in times of self-defense. Occasionally that person is Claire, but no partnership is perfect, and it's not like she can feel it.)

Today, their crazy agent adventures have taken them to a place that neither of them expected:

The Bronx Zoo.

Claire frowns up at the sign for a moment, before glancing back at her. "Are you sure this is right?"

The narration apologizes now for the total lack of seriousness in this thread starter.

Surprise me? Someone she can flirt with?

[diana_abel]

she may get another one later, but he doesn't have a journal yet

[queenoftheamazons]

"Go in, get the doctor, come out."

Hippolyta, on the other hand, is not big on plans. In fact she's very much a smash and grab kind of girl. It's a character flaw that she's not really working on, though she probably should.

(Spoiler: she won't.)

"Should be simple enough."

Ooh.

[snakecharmed]

She has a feeling this is going to go so well.

Rather than being annoyed by that fact, however, if anything, she seems amused. Whether that's because Hippolyta reminds her of one of her crew or because that's so typical of a warmblood, who knows, but either way, the corners of her lips twitch just a little bit. "Things that are supposed to be simple rarely are."

[considermefree]

Physically, Billie made out better than Alexander. She's just so small that people don't want to hurt her, even anti-wanderer people have trouble with it. It might have a little to do with the way she radiates heat so hot that they literally can't touch her, but her too skinny frame and tiny stature does produce an awful lot of people who feel strange urges to protect her. Like Alexander, though she is fairly certain he did it because of the principle of the matter and not because he was actively trying to protect Billie. Maybe she'd ask him later, but for now she just shrugs.

She's used to being the black sheep -- she was at home as well, there was a reason she didn't tell anyone what she could do, she doesn't actually enjoy being blamed for the earthquakes and other natural disasters she accidentally causes. But in Chicago people hat ever regardless of that, just because she exists. There is something incredibly disheartening about that.

Her palms are flat against the bench she's on, the slightly smell of burning wood surrounding her. Her handprints are going to be etched into the bench when she moves. "I'm fine. I'm sorry I insisted we go out tonight. Beers and Breaking Bad was a better plan."

Thor had smiled at the waitress, two rows of white teeth and a word of gratitude that had made the older woman look at him a little wryly, no recognition at all in her face. However striking he'd like to think himself, the Prince of Asgard is not as recognizable as Tony Stark outside his armor.

He doesn't care about that, though.

One might guess at what he cares about based on the way he's beaming across at Jane. His eyes drop to follow the stream of syrup, however, ostensibly to check if the little grid of pastry overflows, possibly also the plate, but it can't really hold his attention for long. The next, he looks up at her again. One big hand chases hers across the table again. Her fingers are dwarfed by the thickness of his palm, the calluses, the breadth of his wrist. "And I am glad to be. I was pleased to bring you the spectacle of Asgard, but Earth is a jewel of Midgard and I very much enjoy this breakfast facet."

[queenoftheamazons]

Hippolyta smirks a bit at that, continuing to make her way up to the top of the peak, heedless of whether or not she should be concerned. She's an Amazon after all. They laugh in the face of danger, and all those other fun cliches.

"Perhaps they're not. But if we planned every aspect, we would never give it any room to surprise us."

Or something.

[undermyfeet]

"Nah, beers and Breaking Bad was an awesome plan." And it was. It was a foolproof plan that could not fail until it did. Alexander still would go for it being a solid plan if asked again. The problem is ... well, the rest of the world.

"It's the douchebags who can't keep their mouths shut that were the problem."

[considermefree]

"Yeah, but we could have stayed home." Billie had a temper, of course, a non-existent fuse as quick burning as magma, and her friend wasn't any better. They probably would have gotten in trouble no matter what, but at least it might not have progressed into violence if they'd stayed in, or gone to a bar known to be wanderer friendly.

She sighs softly, brushing her bright hair back from her face and tips her head back. Lockup is not a good place for her -- she needs a cigarette, she needs a drink, she needs something to do with her hands and her mouth or she's going to set the jail on fire and kill everyone in it, including her and Alexander probably. "I lied, not okay. Can you... distract me or something, like quickly. Before I do something... fucking impossibly stupid."
