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!

[If Oz wasn't the intended target of Geordi's summons, it doesn't show in his reaction. He turns to face the boy as he approaches, and gestures for Oz to kneel or crouch down next to him. He taps a knuckle against one of the few undamaged parts of the console, before reaching down for the toolkit resting by his feet.]

I could use a hand taking this apart. If you'd like to help, that is.

i'm so sorry

[velveteened]

( kneel oz does, having a look at the undamaged bit of the console and then the toolkit.

he has had a grand total of approximately zero nanoseconds even contemplating using a toolkit, much less holding an actual tool, much less using one, but

how hard

can it be? )

I'd like to help! What can I do?

[blindlygo]

[Not too hard, considering there's not much Oz could damage that the fire hasn't already done something to.]

Well, I need to try turning on this console. But the first thing we need to do is make sure that it won't blow up in our faces when I try.

[velveteened]

( he laughs at the thought, apparently unbothered by the notion of having something blow up in his face. )

That's a good idea.

( he reaches out a hand towards the console, then draws back slightly from the heat. )

[Geordi chuckles.]

I get them occasionally. Anyway, we need to get inside this thing. I have some tools here that can do it, but I'd appreciate a hand in maneuvering them.
