Did you want to test your characters? Do you want something that you can use for an RP sample without digging up an old thread? Well, here you have it. Pick one or multiple prompts below or, if you want, make a prompt of your own. Just be sure to tag around so that everyone gets plenty of exposure.

1: Explosions in space! Space Bandits attacked the space colony everyone was visiting! Dozens of fighters and mobile armors fly through space, locked in deadly combat. Are you among those battling to save lives? Or are you watching from the windows, praying everything will be safe?

2: Explosions underground! You were part of a trading party, exchanging supplies with an underground penal colony when alien animals burrowed through the walls and started assaulting convict and Confederation member alike! What are you going to do?

3: Explosions over the city! The Colosseum is shooting off fireworks as part of a concert or a sporting event! Are you watching in the crowd, a main attraction, or watching the bright colors from the city?

4: Explosions on an asteroid! You're either observing, guarding, or mining an asteroid! It's rather dull, save for the explosions that rock the ground under your feet. It looks like it'll continue to be just as slow, but... was that something moving in the shadows there?

5: Explosions on a space station! As you approached a research station, you receive a distress signal! Fire's broken out and their systems aren't up to spec! Can you do anything? Are you a part of a scouting crew or out for a joyride in your new yacht? And is this an accident, or something more sinister?

6: Explosions at the gym! Explosive competition! Swimming, weightlifting, running, boxing, someone has just challenged you! Whether they know it or not, you're going to do your best to show them up.

7: Explosions in the past! A star has died! The Fleet is flying through the nebula it left behind, with swirls of beauty as far as the eye can see. If you're the type, you can watch it all you like.

8: Explosions on the road! Most of the traffic on the Teuberg is computer controlled, but some young showoff took his off the grid and promptly caused a wreck! Traffic has been backed up for almost half an hour now, with no way out for you and the people in your vehicle. Are you close enough to see if anyone needs help? Or are you just stuck with people who are as late for their appointments as you are?

9: Explosions in the marketplace! Explosive bargains! You're in a trading hub, surrounded by stalls of all kinds selling every type of merchandise you can imagine! Luckily, you've got enough money to handle a few purchases here. Will you buy one of those daggers on display? An incense burner? Some alien fruit? Or maybe you're on the run from the corrupt guards? Or perhaps you're the one doing the chasing, did someone just steal your wallet?

10: Explosions in your mind! The explosive inspiration that drives this world! Make up your own prompt!

Loki Laufeyson || Marvel Cinematic Universe

[This wasn't the first time, he had ever seen the wonders of space, he had seen it countless times through trips on the bifrost, but there is something different about seeing it from a ship. Moving just slow enough to be able to actually look at the wonders of space with a more critical eye.

Funny how numerous explosions of gases could yield such beauty. Even the Trickster wasn't immune from having a moment of reflection. The situation he finds himself in, is still an odd one, but it sparks his curiosity all the same.]

[Of course when it comes to looking at the various alien designs on daggers and other weapons, Loki can resist having a look. He still only really likes using his own daggers made to his own specifications, but there is something to be said to poach ideas from others for much needed changes.

Thus he picks up a dagger and looks it over with a critical eye, considering if it might be worth purchasing. Though he is not so distracted that he doesn't feel someone brush past him. Sorry, he doesn't have pockets that are easily accessible and his reflexes are quick enough to capture the hand that is trying to steal from him. ]

You have made a grave miscalculation in your choice of target.

[He is quick to put the dagger he was checking against the offenders throat. This could get ugly if someone doesn't step in and stop him.]

[ooc; Feel free to hit me up with a scenario if the other two don't strike your fancy.]

i saw your reserve and gave in to a long temptation

[positronically]

I have found that accidents do happen. On the other hand, incompetence and shoddy workmanship could be to blame. We need to find out who the last technician assigned to this sector was.

[He reaches forward and prods the melted slag with one finger; he feels no pain, after all.]

...Slag iron. Very poor quality slag iron, at that.

[doesnotsimply]

Boromir visibly squares his shoulders up as the strange man gestures to two guards. His first thought to lay the man out for his impudence.

"Look. I have been brought here against my will, forced to stay abed whilst your healers perform inumerable arcane rituals over me, and then told I am not to so much as stretch my legs without someone holding my hand." There is a rather obvious lack of anyone holding his hand, or even accompanying him on his walk.

Boromir is red in the face but his hand has not strayed to his sword. Yet.

"Do you not think you can just let me go for a walk around this, place, with some of the comforts of home for an hour without harassing me?"

[weeabhoo]

Jinto's not even bothering to load up a cart. Rather he's managed to haggle a reasonable price from the shopkeeper for large quantities of food items the ship needs and can't produce itself, to be delivered via shuttle. Feeling as if he'd just been through a battle, he turns back to the shelves, to see an old man speaking to himself as he shops.

"Ah, I'm sorry sir...I just bought all the flour and oil this place has." He rubs the back of his head, feeling nervous and a little guilty despite having only done his duty. Yes, all of the flour and oil. A starship can go through that pretty quickly on pancake day.

[blindlygo]

[Well, it could have been worse, even if he has no idea what mucka means.]

Geordi La Forge is my full name, but most people just call me Geordi. Nice to meet you, Del.

[abtakha]

Cassie's job and passion is taking on mechs on foot and she takes no days off. Especially when she finds a model unknown even to her encyclopedic knowledge of them just standing there in an alleyway, apparently unpiloted.

She pauses at the corner of the building and peeks her head around to look at it with undisguised fascination. She's looking for exposed joints, anything that looks like a weak point. She raises her datapad to take a picture.

[constableodo]

"Ha!" Odo won't hear his whining arguments. His irritation shows by his very dry tone. "Many people didn't choose to be here, and they're not carrying weapons around! So, either you give me this," he points at the sword "or you will have to follow me." He humphs in irritation, looking straight at the man.

[[With Data's encyclopedic knowledge, I think a little canon puncturing here could be quite amusing once they are properly introduced.]]

Sitting just slightly further along the bar from Data is a rather depressed looking human barely touching the glass in front of him, but just staring into space looking like his whole world has fallen apart. Boromir had drifted towards the bar after having his sword taken from him, and asked for a flagon of ale. What he received was something that, despite having the vague taste, smell, and feel of ale, fell far short on what he was looking for. The receptacle felt all wrong too.

[This is all just really bizarre to the Claymore. It wasn't too long ago that Helen had to deal with the idea of other continents existing on her world, so space is even more mind-blowing. The technological advances she keeps seeing everywhere are also incredible, but at least the marketplace feels kind of familiar.

Helen is around, weapon-shopping with a goofy grin on her face that quickly drops the moment she sees what's going on up ahead. And so, of course, she runs over to try and break things up.]

Oi! What the hell do you think you're doing?!

[constableodo]

[Unfortunately, Odo was going to arrest the seller, because, well, weapons are not supposed to be sold let alone that publicly, but Loki is in the way. Odo rolls his eyes and sighs.]

What are you doing? Selling and purchasing weapons is not allowed here, and threatening a security officer in duty is not, as well. I will have to arrest you. [Odo's tone is dry.]

[licentia]

[ Broken out of her reverie by the fact that all she can see is furry and blue, she takes a couple steps back out of a renewed sense of politeness and boundaries. ]

Excuse me, but can you see what’s going on outside? Because all I can see from my side is the back-end of another car. [ And galaxy knows how the vehicles managed to collide in such a fashion. ]

[blindlygo]

If that's so, then it's a wonder this place lasted this long, unless it was someone very new.

[One of the many reasons Data is useful to have around. While Data is poking at the metal directly, Geordi has to content himself with pulling out his Fleet Omnicorder and scanning it over everything.]

If the iron melted, then we won't get much from the circuits inside. Think it's worth a shot?

[doesnotsimply]

For a moment it looks like he might just draw his sword rather than hand it over but the bone deep respect for a uniform, whatever uniform, from his life in the military wins over.

"Fine!" He shouts at Odo, a blood vessel in his temple beating visibly. He undoes the sword belt and all but throws it at the offending constable. "At least tell me where I can go around here where I can see the sky and feel something other than this, this..." He pounds the nearest plastic wall with a clenched fist.

[positronically]

[Oh, what he would not give to get his hands on an actual tricorder right now.]

The attempt must be made. Whatever clues there might be, we must look at them all. "Once you rule out the impossible..."

[blindlygo]

Well. It's not every day that a living legend knows your name without prompting. Excuse him, Spock, if he takes a moment to respond to that, especially considering what he's about to say, but his own good nature reasserts itself, along with his Starfleet training. If he's competent and professional, he'll be fine.

"Something wrong, Sir?"

[ungrounded]

[Lafiel took off in the correct direction, laser pistol drawn.]

Not the slightest idea. This galaxy seems to be crawling with strange forms of life.

[At first, Kay didn't even hear him. You'd be surprised how much your ears don't work when you're all hyped up about possibly knocking out a beanbag. Granted, like Ronnie, she was a bit intimidated at first too, but that didn't stop her from doing the next best thing: playing yourself up to look like the best.

That's what a Great Thief did, right? It's got to be somewhere in the handbook.

The whisper almost went unheard. That is, until her ears pick it up at the last second. Delayed reaction? Perhaps. The punches stop a moment as she spins around, to see the man speaking.



Oh.

Oh.]

Heyyyyy. You're--

[ungrounded]

Lafiel's knowledge of (non-domesticated) animals was mostly theoretical, especially when it came to things that needed large bodies of water. But she could recognize an opening.

"We should return to base with what we have while these things are distracted. And find some researchers that can tell us what these are and how we can keep them away from our worksites."

[fuckinstoplights]

[Okay, well, that's different. Very different. It doesn't seem to be threatening, at all. So that's really all that stops him from taking flight and ducking out of the way.]

[Skittish, for a 17' robot, this one is.]

...

[He'd ducked behind some building, watching uncertainly from around a corner.]

2/2 YES ACE ATTORNEY

[littlecrowgirl]

--A REALLY big fan of Mask☆Demasque, aren't you!


[Finally, something FAMILIAR!]

[Unfortunately, Lucifer's not too interested in keeping the peace. He figures that's exactly how justice should be served, really.]

You're certainly efficient, I'll give you that.

[constableodo]

Odo scoffs and catches the sword, fast enough that he doesn't have to morph. "I'm afraid it'll be in a cell, for now. Assaulting a security officer in duty will not get you very far in life," he says sarcastically. He grabs the man and gestures to the guards. "Search him." The man could have anything else on him. Besides, Odo couldn't let him go and destroy everything he finds just because he's not happy with the rules. Odo sighs.

[blindlygo]

"Whatever remains must be the truth." [Hopefully Data won't mind Geordi shortening the quote, but they both know who among them is the true Sherlock Holmes fan.]

I don't have the right tools for this right now... can you get it open, Data?

here to ruin kevin's life dont mind me

[individualist]

[...this is really unbelievable.

Side-eyeing so hard.]

I'd no idea you were so easily amused.

[littlecrowgirl]

[AWW YEAH she knew she could do it--wait no this isn't good. She's just about to roll out of the way before a giant hand reaches out, taking it right out of thin air.

Whoa.

Whoa.]

Wow...nice reflexes Mr.--wait. You're a giant robot. I'm talking to a giant robot.
