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!

It's just a lizard, it won't hurt you.
[ Much as he would like to- much as tempting it is, he doesn't relax and cross his arms, because with Grunt acting the way he is, it's entirely possible Akihiko will need to duck out of the way at some point or another. Still, it's not enough to stop him from pointing out- ]
And it's entirely possible that the more you struggle, the tighter it holds on.
no subject
[ Akihiko might need to repeat that, because Grunt is kind of distracted. He's rolling himself against the rock like he's using it as some kind of backscratcher, but the lizard-thing just moves forward and latches itself to Grunt's head.
Fortunately, its tail swings in front of Grunt's face, and he manages to catch it. ]
Got you!
[ Akihiko was right. The tail-pulling just makes the creature hold on tighter. At least until the tail breaks off, and hopefully Akihiko isn't standing close enough to get whipped in the face. ]
no subject
Damnit- [ He's tempted to rub off the blood with a gloved hand, but then he'd get his gloove dirty and that's not an appealing thought. Instead he's just glaring a little at his armour. ] I told you it'll hold on tighter.
[ A sigh and Akihiko raises his head again. ]
If you stop struggling around so much, I'll help you get it off.
[ A pebble or two bounce down and hit his shoulder and he casts a look above briefly. The ceiling of the cavern doesn't look too stable anymore, or so he assumes... ]
no subject
Get it off, before I crush it.
[ The creature is trying to dig under his crest, which is kind of uncomfortable. Grunt is one step away from shooting himself in the face. The sad part is that he might actually do it.
Before anyone has the chance to do anything, however, a fairly large rock breaks off the ceiling and nails Grunt in the head. ]
--Ow. Damn... caves.
[ On the bright side, the lizard is history. Grunt thoughtfully touches his nose, though it's unclear if he's actually hurt or just something else. ]
