Sometimes science is teh suck. Then I write.

I lost one of my help_haiti auctions, but I won the other, and group meeting was today, but now it's done for another week! So!

Picked up from avaaricious: The first TEN people to comment on this post get to request that I write a drabble ficlet, because I like them more, of any pairing/character. Feel free to include a prompt as well so I'm not just running blind. Oh, and the first spot is reserved for terra, as she gave me a prompt many moons ago that I never filled, so... I'll do it now! See? I don't completely suck.

01) terra - FFVI: Locke/Terra, "sand"
02) anglepoiselamp - P4/DQ, "Inaba is infested by Dragon Quest slimes and it's up to Souji's gang to deal with it somehow"
03) anglepoiselamp - FFVI: Kefka, "in a non-villainous capacity"
04) instrumentality - NGE: Kaworu/Rei, "we're one, but we're not the same"
05) dresstokill - PW: Phoenix/Mia, "dating the boss"
06) vithrar - P4/SMB, "some unsuspecting characters from another game, say p4, chance upon a certain mushroom kingdom..."
07)
08)
09)
10)

There likely aren't ten people reading this that would actually like a ficlet from me, so go ahead and request a couple if you have more than one idea. I'll try to knock these out over the next few evenings. Go go go!

Fri 1/22 - I'm planning on getting these five written out tonight. :D
Tue 2/02 - Okay, so it took me far longer than anticipated to actually start on this. I finally did 'em, though! I figure if I can't sleep, I can at least be productive.

Comment! Can I offer two ideas?

- Inaba is infested by Dragon Quest slimes and it's up to Souji's gang to deal with it somehow,

and

- Final Fantasy VI ficlet featuring Kefka in a non-villainous capacity (whether before the game, after the game or in an alternate universe).


*snort* Feel free to ignore these, I'm a dork. :D

your icon = bug eyes! :D

I don't even know, man. Don't ask me.

Kefka hadn’t been sure what color to go with. Initially, he thought yellow or red might be too matchy-matchy with the accessories, so he ditched both and went with a nice green. Which made him look moldy around the eyes. Okay, so green was out. He played with yellow next, but no matter what shade he picked, it always said less “power” and more “jaundice”. Finally, he toyed with red, but tried to stay away from the searing candy-apple of his collar. Darker shades looked almost like dried blood, which might have been intimidating if his stupid underlings hadn’t been so fixated on whether or not he had an eye infection. On the other hand, pale shades were either too feminine or too bruise-ish (and when he tried to blend the borders with yellow, even he thought it looked like he was recovering from being socked by a chicobo’s tiny feet).

That only left... that red. That bright lipstick red.

Much to his surprise, it actually worked. Bold to catch attention, fiery to command respect, and with that sickly yellow expertly faded in around the edges, unnatural enough to keep the unwary unsettled. Yes, at last he had his make-up conveying precisely the right message.

The plume in his hair, however, was just for textural accent.

Hahaha, d'awwww. Just because his outfit is a mess of different things, doesn't mean he didn't plan it carefully. XD

I <3 you for this idea. So much.

“We have to find somewhere to put these!” Yosuke gasps from under an armful of quivering blue goo.

Chie pokes at the mass and grimaces. “What are they?!”

“I don’t know, dude!”

“They’re slimes,” Souji says calmly. He slips one out of Yosuke’s arms and holds it up to his face. It stares back, red smile never wavering.

“Slimes? What do you mean?” Yukiko takes the slime from him gingerly and runs a cautious hand over its point. “Are they shadows?”

“Nope,” Rise says, and by her side Teddie shakes his head and glowers.

Yosuke drops his haul, slimes bounding every which way across the Junes food court. “Does it matter what they are? We have to put them somewhere!”

“Why’d you gather them up, anyways?” Chie says, frowning down at a slime bouncing on the tongue of her shoe. “Why not just take ‘em out?”

“I tried,” Yosuke groans. “Stupid things absorbed my kunai.”

Sure enough, two slimes with kunai visible in their translucent jelly bodies stop by Souji’s feet. With a smile, he picks them up.

Yosuke squints at him. “Okay, you are taking this way too well.”

“C-can I keep them?”

Everyone turns wide eyes to Kanji.

“W-well,” he stammers, “we can’t let ‘em stay here.”

“Kanji-kun’s idea has merit,” Naoto says, a thoughtful finger on her chin. “The textile shop is both nearby and closed today. We could store them there temporarily while we devise a more sustainable long-term plan.”

“Don’t,” Souji tries to warn them, but for once, nobody listens to the leader. Hours later, when they return to the textile shop with wheelbarrows full of even more slimes and are greeted by not the numerous little guys they left behind, but one massive grinning blob complete with shiny crown, Souji rolls his eyes. “I tried.”

Adskhsdhgsjljsf. I'm so behind on commenting - but I read this as soon as you posted it, which resulted in some terrible muffled giggling at work. :D :D :D

This is so AWESOME. Souji would totally be like that, and Kanji would be unable to resist the cuteness! I think he would refuse to give up on the king slime, insisting that it's still cute and that he would feed it and take it for walkies every day. ^___^

Haha, I'm glad you liked it! :D It was seriously way too much fun to write.

Edit to add: You are so right about Kanji. He'd be squished underneath, still yelling that he can handle it. XD
