Thoughts, stories and ideas.

Challenge #00246: Meter and Rhyme

Professor Xavier on why he abandoned the idea of a institute theme song.

“Professor? Why isn’t there a school song?”

“To be very brief, I couldn’t come up with anything good,” he confessed. “Begin with the fact that the Institute doesn’t have a catchy name, and add to that the fact that I have all the musical talents of a diseased whelk…” he shrugged. “If you can come up with something, you’re welcome to, but–”

“Geethanks, Prof!”

Whoosh.

“…I don’t hold high hopes…”

Inside of two weeks, after the literal battle of the bands, Professor Xavier had a third reason not to have a school song.

Challenge #00245: Learning Curve

Scott, the new floral and somewhat emotionally expressive studmuffin, wows the blue hairs at the convention. His ego does a world of good for it.

“I do a lot of beach-combing for interesting pieces,” said Scott. “And I get bucket-loads of shells from that, I never knew why I picked them up in the first place, but I had bucket-loads of shells and I had to do something with them…” Click. The next slide showed an orchid

Challenge #00244: One Beautiful Morning at the Bi-Annual Fair

I’m in an oooey gooey mood so please give me a sweet romantic sappy drippy waff-fest about a couple who meet long after they knew each other in high school. Extra points for any amusement park item.

In order to reduce the severity of Silly Season, Amalgam Station held a station-wide fair once every five months. Every human got some time to play, even folks like Lyr, who worked security.

Even other species got into it. Chitanians were busy hanging

Fallout from Tequila Night. (you make me crave sequels)

Tattoos, by their nature, are impossible to hide forever.  Especially drunken ones.  It’s inevitable.  So, somehow, one way or another, someone is gonna find out about the tats Kitty and Rogue got of each others’ names on their butts.  And immediately jump to a conclusion: they’re dating.  Why else would they get such fancy ink in such an intimate place?  Sure, they’ll try to deny it, but rumors are quick to spread and very hard

Challenge #00242: One Fine Afternoon Just Outside the Danger Room

A romantic moment between Scott and Jean that starts after she witnesses the New Recruits realizing that an less emotionally restrained Scott as Danger Room facilitator means a tough day for all.

Argh. Her aches had aches. Jean had lingered in the hot shower in an attempt to soothe them. She was still stretching in the hall when the younger recruits passed her by.

“Ow!”

“Man, my aches have aches…”

“The aches of my aches have

Challenge #00241: Household Gods

Papier-mache elves.

He knew he shouldn’t ask. Technically speaking, anything that kept Shayde busy and not in anyone’s business was a good thing. Anything that kept her out of Sherlock’s notice was wonderful.

Apart from the fact that Sherlock now had her on his permanent watch list, and her alarming habit this time had been buying the cheapest paper and glue available. Which meant she was up to something.

Which meant Rael, once again, had to

Challenge #00240: Posting Bills on Jellynet

Subconsciously transmitted soul level personal ads transmitted via peer to peer, human to human internet powered by implants in the brain stem and the strange pairings that emerge from their usage. Base the story in the city you know most intimately.

It was cheap. It had no carrier feeds. It drastically reduced the volume of people who had no way to understand what life was like for other people.

People on Jellynet were almost 100% more likely to be civil, understanding, generous,

Didn't We Already Fix That?!

A recurrence.

(#00240)

“Hey, check this out,” the fellow queuer passed over a pamphlet.

It was the immunoflu update, naming the diseases that the adjusted virus would protect the infected from.

A pointing finger indicated the anomaly. “What the heck is measles?”

“I know, right? That’s like… some weird human name or something.”

“Yes, but viruses have taxonomic names,” she argued. “For something to have a common name, it has

Other negative long term effects of drinking diet coke include Kidney problems, bone density loss, high blood pressure, and much more.

Guess who’s gonna stop drinking diet soda?

“ #unless these are false ”

They are true. Diet soda is horrible; if for nothing other than the fact that they are using chemical sweeteners (and the fact that Diet doesn’t taste as good as Original). Your body doesn’t know what to

Challenge #00239: Elemental, my dear...

Following someone around wearing a deerstalker and peering through a magnifying glass, whilst deducing things. With someone named Sherlock around, it was too good an opportunity to pass up. Bonus points for an exasperated Watson getting dragged along.

Eridite Watson passed from transitory population zones to residential in a cloud of chemicals. She dutifully breathed in the immunoflu, after breathing out her own local germs for Medical to catalogue as harmless. All before she put her clothes back on.

At least they
