Bonus Round 5

Tales from the Road

Hey, shippers! HSO is winding down, so we thought we'd take a look back at the journey, so to speak. With that in mind, this next bonus round is going to be roadtrip-themed! Give us a little taste of your characters' life on the road, whatever form that takes.

Rules

Submit prompts! Prompts should consist of one ship (friendship/gen is fine too!) and a location. This cannot be your team's ship! This round we will not be giving points for prompts.

Look through the prompts and fill whichever you like!

You may not fill prompts for your ship, nor may you fill your own team's prompts.

Fills should be posted as replies to the prompts which they are for, following the format below. They may be any medium.

Title Format
If you are starting a new thread, please use this format in your title.

Replace [YOUR SHIP] with the name of the team YOU belong to; please use the characters and quadrant, not whatever portmanteau or nickname you've come up with.

If you are filling a prompt, use this format in your title.

Replace [YOUR SHIP] with the name of the team YOU belong to; please use the characters and quadrant, not whatever portmanteau or nickname you've come up with.
If your team name is not in this format and in the title we cannot guarantee that it will be counted.

Posts not using this format in the title will be understood to be unofficial discussion posts, no matter what they contain. They, like all comments on the comm, are subject to the Wank Policy.

Colonel Sassacre and Betty Crocker
Honeymoon

Edited 2012-08-07 20:42 (UTC)

Betty was a fine young woman. Buxom and plump in all the right places. And that hair! Why, a man could get lost in that hair for days. Maybe longer, trekking through the tresses, deeper and deeper until he starved to death and was devoured to feed her young. What young? Sassacre was not sure but by Jove he was going to find out!

"Betty, my dear," he said. "Would you be so kind as to pass me the wine?"

"No, this is all for me pathetic human," Betty growled, still curled up on the dark side of the train compartment. She gulped directly from the bottle in-between taking great bites of her fish dinner. Sassacre had never met a girl with such an appetite! It was enough to make a man weak at the knees! Or that could be his advanced age.

"You enjoy it, dumpling," Sassacre said. "I'll just go get some more from the porter."

"Bring me a human youngling to feast on," Betty said. "I saw a herd of them earlier."

"Haha," Sassacre said. "You're such a kidder. We'll make a wonderful pranking duo, you and I."

He punched his young bride lightly on the shoulder as a joke. She struck back, leaving him on the floor.

"Quite an arm you've got there!" he said and he struggled back to his feet. She hissed.

Sassacre opened the door to the corridor and waved down a porter.

"How are the newlyweds doing?" the porter asked. "The distinguished colonel and his um-"

"She's foreign," Sassacre said.

"Of course," the porter said. "The distinguished colonel and his exotic bride."

"We'd like some more wine," Sassacre said.

"And the blood of a child," Betty added.

"Her English isn't very good," Sassacre said quickly.

"I'll go... get that wine," the porter said, edging carefully away.

Sassacre closed the door. He sat next to Betty, reaching out and taking her clammy hand in his. She gave him a blank look, perhaps overwhelmed by his manly presence. He always forgot how young she was, probably unused to being so close to masculinity. But they were married now, it was time she learned!

"Well, darling," he said. "How are you enjoying the trip?"

"It's tolerable," she said.

"Good, good," he said, patting her hand. She looked like she wanted to chew it off. "Now, I know this isn't the most traditional of marriages-"

"Psh, marriage," Betty said. "What a ridiculous human concept."

"Yes," Sassacre agreed. "Yes it can be a bit odd, but nonetheless you are my wife now and there are certain, well, duties that I-"

"You are my tool," Betty interrupted. "You are just here to provide cover and funds for my plans. Do not think for a second you will be in charge here."

"Well," Sassacre said. "I see you're into that new fangled Women's Suffrage and all."

"All will suffer when I'm done," Betty said. "Not just the women."

"Well," Sassacre said, for lack of something better. "Well I guess we'll work things out as they come. Love will provide."

Betty bit him.

WELL HI AGAIN HAHAHA

I loved the exchange about suffrage, that was gold. Gosh, this was great.

I've been wanting to write those two forever, thanks for giving me an excuse. He's your crazy old racist uncle! She's a genocidal fish alien! It's such a hilarious mess.
