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!

Five credits? That seems a bit much. [That is not a nice smile.]
norefunds: (oh really?)

[No....no it isn't. He's starting to reconsider his first impression.]

W-well, I had to work in the cost for renting the space, you see.

Someone charged you for use of a few square feet of public access space? You should probably go complain to the authorities about them.

Actually, no- they didn't. [He admits, tapping his fingers nervously on the edge of his padd.]

But if they had I would have had to charge a lot more than 5 credits. And I'll tell you what- for you? The first view is half off. Because I like your face.

[And he liked his own face- in case this stranger was thinking of putting a few marks on it.]

[Quark, you don't want to know what Stein's considering doing to your face. It involves knives and blood and microscope slides.]

You're charging money for something that you don't own, and you lied to me. That seems... foolish.

[Good thing he has no idea. On the other hand, he has a pretty active imagination.]

Hahaha ,what? No. No, I was just joking! About the whole thing. Sure fooled you!
circumsutus: (twist twist)

don't worry he thinks that about everyone

Intentionally sharing false information with the intent to deceive. We call that "lying" where I'm from.
