Bonus Round 1

Genre-Mixing

Hey, shippers! Welcome to your very first bonus round proper--we hope you have lots of fun with it! This time around we're going to be asking you to mix it up a little--each fanwork posted for this round will be a mish-mash of two different genres, blended together in a delightful incestuous slurry to create an UNSTOPPABLE CREATIVE CONCOCTION--er. Or. Something.

Yeah, we're genre-mixing. That's what we're doing this round.

Rules

1. Submit prompts! Prompts should consist of two different genres and one ship. This cannot be your team's ship! These are worth 5 points each, for a maximum of 100 points per team.


2. Look through the prompts and fill whichever you like!


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


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

((I couldn't resist. I'm monopolising the mirrors for princes genre I think...))


She’s only a tailor, but she’s also the only one he can actually talk to. Maybe it helps that he knows she won’t judge him, can’t judge him really. He spends quite a bit of his time in her little room, just talking and talking and letting her try clothes on him, because it’s their shared interest in fashion that drew them together in the first place. She designed all of his most official outfits, the ones that always get compliments from the rest of the court and draw him the attention he so desperately wants, and in return he lets her vent all the problems a fashion designer and tailor shouldn’t have but for some reason she does.

She’s possibly the person who knows him best at court, even when he’s crowned king at far too early of an age and turns to the book for advice instead of her. Into the Looking-Glass, she thinks it’s called, and he treats it like a god.

Only it doesn’t tell him what to do with his wife, the feisty redhead he loves so much, and that’s an area that she’s good at… only, he never asks her, and that girl dies. She knows how, and why, but he’s her best friend even if he never talks to her, so she doesn’t tell. Perhaps she can’t tell, for she watches him struggle with voices that no one else can hear (except her, sometimes, a faint little whisper in the air asking why did you let him do it why did you let him KRILL me), and she pities him more than ever.

He doesn’t ask her when it comes to his second wife either, that spidery girl who trashes her shop and kisses her in the back room and admits that she thinks she can hear ghosts sometimes. He doesn’t talk to her at all, too proud and too mad, now, to go seeking refuge with the tailor he abandoned long ago when he fell in obsessive love and hatred. A second whisper joins the first, he said it was my eyes, why didn’t you ever teeeeeeeell me, Fussyface, I never meant to leave you.

And she doesn’t ask him when she slips into his room in the middle of the night, knife glinting silver treason in her hand.

A third voice adds to the chaos around her, eventually. Kan, it whispers, wuh-why?

She does her best to ignore them all and scribbles in the book instead, adding her neat writing to his madly jagged scrawls. A Word To The Wise: Books Are Not Gods. Don’t Treat Them As Such.

((This ended up a bit darker then I initially expected, but hopefully it still fits your tastes, as this was quite a fun prompt to fill))


Dear Diary

The Love Of My Life Is Gone My Light Extinguished
Smothered By That Dastardly Clown Fucker Darkness Remains Where She Used To Shine
Not Only Did He Steal Her Life But Also Her Body
Lacerations And Bruises Covered Her Corpse Like A Blanket
Crudely Painted In Her Own Blood To Mimic The Imagery Found Upon The Mirthful Messiahs

the dark carnival is back.
YOU LUCKY FUCKERS ARE GETTING AN ENCORE.

Her Stomach Read
A Mere Canvas For His Twisted Style Of Art
Her Gracile Limbs Contorted And Bound To The Bed Frame In A Manner Fit For A Convict But Not For My Darling Rose Who Merely Asked Too Many Questions

In The End It Was Karkat Who Had To Remove Her Cold Ravaged Corpse Dave Being Nearly As Inconsolable As Myself Over The Event
He Must Have Felt Responsible For It Too
Karkat Obviously Failing In His Duties To Placate The Monster
Had I Been Allowed To Deal With Him Initially She Would Still Be Alive And Our Own Lives Would Not Be In Jeopardy
Every Creek And Whisper
Every Dancing Shadow And Flickering Light
Every One Could Herald Our Last Breath

I Am Not About To Let This Pass By
I Tried The Method Preferred By Vantas And It Ended Horribly
Now I Am Left With Her Nearly Comatose Brother
Terezi And The Mayor Spending Every Waking Moment Trying To Get Him To At Least Feel Something
A Sheepish Vantas Obviously Feeling Guilt Over His Previous Moirail
And A Psychopathic Troll Running Rampant About This Blasted Meteor
That Is About To Change Though
Her Death Is Going To Be His Last And I'm About To Give That Fucker Tenfold What He Gave My Darling Rose
Every Cut And Bruise
Every Break And Fracture
Every Scream And Cry
I Will Break More Then His Body
I Am Going To Violate That Shit Stains Body And Soul
And Utterly Destroy It
Beyond Repair
And I Am Going To Make Him Fucking Beg For The End

Its The Final Act For That Last Mother Fucking Clown
He Better Put On A Good Show

The Grand Rehab Breakout

---

–– timaeusTestified [TT] began pestering tipsyGnostalgic [TG] at 10:35 ––

TT: Roxy.
TT: Are you there?
TT: Let me know when you’re around.
TG: dirk
TG: diiiiiiikr
TG: let me tlel u
TG: this place shucks
TG: it shucks SO much
TT: It is nice to see you haven’t lost your wits yet.
TT: You’ve been ignoring my messages so far, I wanted to know if everything is ok.
TG: nuttin is ok dirk here its all CRAZY
TG: they
TG: they dnont let me have ALCHOOL
TG: lol *alcohol
TT: I guess that is the purpose of being sent to rehab, Roxy. It is a way for you to stop relying so much on your alcoholic beverages, and finally start seeing the appeal of less dazzling drinks, so to speak.
TG: as if i never drkink anything else come on dirk
TG: i dnot have a prboblom with alchol
TG: *alcohool
TG: w/e
TT: I suspect you downplay the influence alcohol has on your life, and your mother is simply very much worried about you. It is entirely in her capabilities to send you off until you have purged your veins of that nasty beverage.
TG: u have no place to speak
TG: cuz u djust drink ornage juice
TG: all day
TG: but a lady gotta have her martini
TG: its been hell because they refusde to give me
TG: my martini
TG: i dont thnik i can stay here nomore
TT: Roxy.
TT: It has been only three hours.
TT: The moment I heard you were being shipped off, I immediately tried contacting you, and that brings us to the present moment.
TT: Merely three hours after you entered that place.
TT: Bro said your mom signed you in for at least a three-weeks period. If you are already complaining despite barely having set a foot around, it simply feels like you are not considering the situation as carefully as you should.
TT: At least settle down for a bit first.
TG: i cant make it to three weeks dirk
TG: I CANT
TG: im going to deihydratate
TG: *deidratate
TG: *turn into a dried up body
TG: no more liquids rnuning in my veins
TG: * sbobs drmamaticantally waving her drink round *
TG: only i dont have my drink dirk
TG: i dnont like it here
TG: i wanna go home
TT: If you’re solely opposing your mother’s desire to offer you a healthier life, there are better ways to do that rather than just run away at the first chance.
TT: My suggestion would be to lay low for a while and look around the place. Just take a moment to analyse the situation, checking for every possible thing that could help you.
TT: Of course I am simply offering you a suggestion. If you wait until the three weeks period ends, then you can go back and if you truly wish as much, resume your usual alcohol intake. I know by now how your relationship with your mother works, and it would be of more impact if you were to show that the three weeks were actually wasted on you, rather than run away and offer her the perfect opportunity to do something more elaborate.
TT: Lay low and accept your fate. Your mother has the proverbial knife by its handle this time.
TG: mom is jsut doing her lil silly game again
TG: psassive aggrievess ness
TG: she doesnt care if i stay hree or nto
TG: help me get the fcuk out of here
TT: Roxy, are you even listening to me. I told you to look around first. The enemy you know is the enemy you can defeat. Settle in and scout around until you find something you can exploit.
TT: It will be fine. If it helps, think about something else aside for the lack of alcohol.
TT: It is surprising enough they have allowed you the use of the computer and chat client. Otherwise how do you plan on contacting me if they take that away?
TG: i hid my phone in my undrewear
TG: they dinint thunk about checking in there
TG: taboo place or w/e
TT: That is certainly an information I would have been fine without knowing.
TT: But I am indeed grateful you are going to keep contact with me.
TT: It would be really boring without having your drunken typing all over my computer screen.
TG: omg dirk i msiss u too
TG: why dont u
TG: do ur prince chrarim sht
TG: make me swnoo like a prnicess
TG: *princesse
TG: *SWOON omg mr strider SWOON
TG: come here and lets break me out from this shtty place plz
TG: unrinonally rnunnig away
TG: *unironiclally
TG: *4 realz
TT: While that would prove to be rather entertaining, given the lack of interesting shit for this upcoming summer without my friend there to back me up, I have to say I think you might want to sit it out this time.
TT: It might be even good for you, who knows.
TT: For now, simply try to settle in and do not worry about running away.
TT: You can always pester me when you need to talk.
TT: We are friends, after all.
TG: a godo froend would get me outta here. .///
