Challenge #04648-L264: You Expected Moonlight Serenade?

Kevin stands at the hotel lobby alone, he takes a deep breath the eerie quiet made him hear his own heartbeat. As he looks down at the polished marble he notices something red, bloody footprints. A shiver runs down his spine as he slowly backs away but more crimson footprints appear moving toward his location. Maybe the entity didn’t notice him as he moved around but wherever he goes the footprints follow. Suddenly Kevin begins to giggle and the footprints stopped in place. “Ha ha look, I made you draw a [male equipment]!” Then the man jumps out the window. -- Anon Guest

[AN: OP, I fixed your English but I can't fix your reading skills. I did ask in the pinned post to resist the temptation to send me microfictions as prompts. I don't find them fun]

As far as hazing exercises went, this one was pretty lame. Stay in the lobby and meet the bloody boot-tracks. Done. Kevin took out his phone and turned it to record the tracks. "Obviously, that's not my shoe size," he put his sneaker next to a bloody footprint for comparison. "And check it... I made it make a dong." He made certain they'd be able to see it and laugh. "Awright. Next up, I got me a date in the BAALLLL room to see if I dance with devil." He stopped the recording and hit 'send'.

They'd watch it together in the morning when they came to fetch him.

Kevin followed the directions to the ball room, cackling all the way. Heheh. Balls. The place was empty and bare. All the glass that could have faced the outside was replaced with plywood boards. Half the linoleum had peeled up to reveal faded and scuffed parquetry underneath.

Challenge #04254-K236: Cat Fishing

They were trying to reach into a vent after a lost tool. A skitty ran up and bit their arm. They pushed the skitty away and tried to reach again. The skitty attacked that arm again with teeth and claws. They backed up away from the skitty. Several sparks came from the vent. That skitty saved them from a lot worse injury. -- Anon Guest

Working on an old station has its charms. It has hazards to match, too. There's spaces that

Challenge #04098-K080: Kids on a Field Trip

The pirate captain ordered the ship to head straight for the prey ship in their sights.

The pirate crew reported a sign painted on the hull: Human Toddlers on Board.

The pirate captain ordered the ship to turn around and go after something... safer. -- DaniAndShali

It was a reconditioned space yacht, not an uncommon sight in the Alliance shipping lanes. Deregger liquidations lead to a lot of spacious vehicles that were re-purposed from luxury to utility. Someone had painted this one

Challenge #04035-K017: Conflict Resolution Strategies

Two individuals are arguing fiercely. They are so close they are nearly twins. A powerful wizard forces them to be chained together until these two are able to realize they are more alike than they think. Before blood ends up spilled. -- Lessons

Of all the things to argue about, this had to be one of the more ridiculous ones. One was shouting "Mustard!" while the other responded, "Mayo!" Since they were both Harukh, the argument was about to have an area

Challenge #03835-J183: Through Dangers Untold...

Thirty floors, tons of traps and treasures, good thing this place is good for training beginners though. -- Anon Guest

Some have called it the worst dungeon in Alfarell. There's thousands of ways to get in. There's even more ways to get out, especially if you're not fussy about how clean you are when you reach the sunlight. Some say the labyrinths of Skymire's fallen city were never meant to be a dungeon. Some say that adventuring down there is a scam.
