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!
nobleminded: (accentuato)

since I life'd out of Ex before I could reply on that log

[Yeah, Mister Noble here overheard the last part of that sales pitch and conversation. It's totally his responsibility to butt in.]

Because it's not! I don't care what's possible around here, that can't be! And even if it is, gambling is irresponsible!
senseandcecilbility: (trust me too)

omg, Elliot is Ellioting!

[He freezes exactly where he is, all excited gadget examination interrupted as he forgets to breathe. Those words. They are his young master's words, but the voice and face don't match. Can two noble brats be that realistic, opinionated and loud?]

...

[He could have hugged the boy and cried tears of longing and joy. Instead, he realizes that, much like young master, the young gentleman is repressing his most innocent and harmless gambling tendencies. ]

Hm...Huh.

[Not the most coherent answer, but nothing could have prepared him for this.]

nobleminded: (energico)

What are the odds?!

[personal profile] nobleminded 2014-01-16 07:17 am (UTC)(link)
[Well, one difference is that Elliot's quickly becoming convinced that you're of the sort he'd never want to be his servant. If that helps any.]

WHAT, IS THAT NEWS TO YOU?!
senseandcecilbility: (Totally caught red-handed)

manga and their young masters, oh my.

[personal profile] senseandcecilbility 2014-01-16 09:35 am (UTC)(link)
[It's okay, it is not like young master ever had a choice in the matter.]

N-no, not at all!

[It is not news to him. It is just that he has this slight tendency to gamble until someone makes him stop. He doesn't have a problem. It's completely under control.
nobleminded: (insistendo)

somebody has to do all the yelling...

[personal profile] nobleminded 2014-01-17 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
[Wow, sucks to be him. Maybe the nobility of your world needs to reconsider that set up. ...No offense, stranger.]

Then you shouldn't even be wasting time looking at that thing!

[And if he knew that, he'd tell you how it's the definition of a problem Also the guy trying to sell it really loves Elliot right now...]
senseandcecilbility: (This time I messed up)

[Some yelly noble brats need love. It's a thing.

He...gives the device back, looking dutifully ashamed. He is also a little concerned about the looks the nice and respectable seller is giving the noble young man.
]

M-my apologies, sir!

[Please calm down! Also, he might be stepping between the young man and the contrabandist, just in case violent things happen.]
