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!

[Joan smiles back at her, and the excitement and love of shoes is catching. There is a lot to process when it comes to this time period. She can't imagine coming from one that's has even less technology than hers does. She's always stumbling to catch up. Joan nods in understanding, and really, they're living in space. Whatever brings them joy, they should get to have... or to wear. That's pretty much Joan's fashion sense too, the things she loves.]

I have always regretted the shows that I passed up for whatever reason, and these would look really wonderful on you. [And that compliment brings an extra level of warmth to her smile.] Thank you. I see you found other pairs of shoes that couldn't be passed up. Could I have a look at them too? Since you have such lovely taste, I'm curious to see the other shoes you picked out.

[Oh, man, this lovely miss wants to see her shoes?? Straight to the top of Lizzie's heart! She's all too eager to oblige, and shuffles around in her basket till she can open up each shoe box.]

Yes, yes! Ummm, well, at home, I have a lot of shoes... My father buys them for me as presents... and I started to feel lonely without them! [In a way, her excitement toward getting new shoes is a form of homesickness. Well, that and the fact that she's fourteen and used to getting heaps of expensive things.] And I'm not really used to shopping all by myself... so I was very glad for your opinion.

[The other pairs of shoes share one main similarity with the pair on display now: it's clear that Lizzie likes lavish things.]

I feel you should do whatever you'd like to help ease that loneliness. It's really difficult being away from your things and... the people you love. [Joan's voice is soft but reassuring. She misses her family, her clothing, New York City, and even Sherlock. Joan smiles as she looks over the shoes that she's picked out. They're both of very lavish taste, it's true, but it's clear they make the young woman happy, which is the most important thing. Her genuine excitement and love of shoes is adorable, and Joan loves it, feels protective of anyone who seems so young and genuine.] These are really beautiful too. I have shopped by myself many times before, but I really prefer shopping with someone else. It's much more fun that way.

[there's the sharing of opinions and camaraderie that comes with it.]

I'm Joan.
