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.

aaaahhhh cuties ;3;

I love your Karkat voice, he is so perfectly over the top. ^^

no problem,it's a university from Wicked

Time After Time

Rose crosses her arms, and leans over the console to peer closely at the various knobs and switches. “Dave, if I were to ask you very nicely why we appear to be in a Public Police Call Box from Britain in the 1960s, that’s bigger on the inside and also, apparently, capable of traveling through time, would you be able to answer me in a succinct and non-sarcastic manner?”

You poke a switch, and look at a display that you’re pretty sure displays where you are currently. It shows the time, too, which you know is right. Down to the second, pretty impressive, honestly.

“No,” you say. “I mean I could make up some shit if you want transuniversal quantum thingy basically like maybe we took a wrong turn at Sasketchawan or the signing of the Magna Carta and ended up on this sweet piece of biznasty -”

She pushes you gently on the shoulder, which is sort of like your off switch, rambly dialogue-wise.

“I’m sure this ship has an owner,” she says. “And I doubt they’ll be pleased to return to find two stowaways fiddling with the dials.”

“You saw outside,” you say. “Hells of red planets weird gobbly piles of pink much undescribable flora and fauna I hate to break it to you but since our little excursion in the realm of what-the-fuck a couple of years ago I am kinda anti gettin stuck on planets what I don’t know where they are.”

Rose slips her hand into yours. “Yes,” she says. “I’m aware.” She smiles, and you smile too, because Rose smiling - an honest, earnest smile, not one meant to ward off foes or punctuate a particularly sarcastic point - is a thing of beauty. “Besides, I don’t think whoever - whatever - it is will be able to take two Sburb survivors.”

“Two extremely attractive Sburb survivors.”

“One more attractive than the other.”

“Gosh Rose wow didn’t know you liked my face that much.”

The door to the machine is flung open, and a man, all arms and legs and tweed galumphs -

“Is galumph a word? I’m gonna use it anyway,” you whisper to Rose.

“Live your dreams,” she whispers back.

- Anyway, galumphs into the room, and pauses when he sees the two of your, hands locked, standing in front of the console.

“Ah!” he says. “Another day, another completely improbable breakdown in my security! Well, go on then -” he clasps his hands, and rocks on his heels. “Name rank list of demands et cetera. Just go on, get it all out of your system.”

Rose slips one of her needles from the concealed pocket in her sleeve down into her hand. “I’m Rose Lalonde,” she says. “Mr. -?”

“Doctor!” he says. “Just doctor, that’s it, just the one word.”

“Doctor,” she says. She’s trying not to laugh, you think. “My name is Rose Lalonde, this is my charming brother and constant companion, Dave Strider -”

“Sup,” you say, throwing him the bro-nod. He responds with a spasmodic gesture of greeting of his own.

“- And as for demands, well, do you have any tea?”

“Or like, some Dew. Apple juice, I dunno, anything works. You have no idea how thirsty you get after dragging someone a couple thousand years well no I guess you probably do so,” you shrug.

“Eloquently put, as ever,” says Rose. “Tea, yes, and/or comparable refreshments, or I’m afraid we will be forced to hold your ship hostage.”

The Doctor’s smile is bright and completely earnest. “This is going to be the most fun hostile takeover I’ve had in centuries,” he says, bounding up some stairs towards another door that leads, well, okay you have no fucking clue. “Follow me I’ll take you to the kitchen, and meanwhile you will have to explain where you got that - “ he gestures to Rose’s Thorn. “interesting piece of equipment. And are those Ben Stiller’s shades?”

“See I told you I’d take you somewhere nice,” you say to Rose as you follow the man down a white corridor. “This guy’s down with the clown, he knows Stiller shades when he sees ‘em and everything. I bet if you ask him real nicely he has some stories about gibbering betentacled monstrosities to share too.”

Rose squeezes your hand tighter. “If I get stuck in a confined space with only rambling barely coherent companions for years, again, then I will have your head.”

“Shut up and follow the nice bouncing alien,” you say.

She rolls her eyes, and you kiss her cheek, and you’re both going to have to reflect later on the fact that this isn’t the strangest situation you’ve encountered in the last six months but for now everything’s a little all right.

"Hey asshole," Caliborn yelled. "Asshole! Pay attention to me!"

"Are you throwing rocks at my window?" Dirk asked after opening said window and sticking his head out. "Is that seriously what is occurring here? I'd expect that sort of shitty 80s high school movie crap from Jake but not you."

"No not mention that idiot around me!" Caliborn shouted. Dirk's neighbors were beginning to peer at him through their curtains. "You will exit your home immediately and accompany me!"

"Are you asking me out on a date?"

"Absolutely not!"

"I'll be right down."

Caliborn glared at the passersby as he waited for Dirk.

"That was not 'right down'! You spent a good fifteen minutes in there!"

"Had to get my face on," Dirk said. "Not everyone have your natural eyelashes."

"No one can even see your eyes!"

"With that attitude you'll never getting to second base."

"I don't want any bases with you, you infuriating human scum!" Caliborn snapped, shaking with fury.

"So where are we headed anyway, babe?"

"We are getting ice cream."

"Cool," Dirk said. "We going to hold hands on the way?"

"You disgusting pervert!"

"Not even pinkies?"

Caliborn shuddered, green skin turning brown as he blushed.

"None of that," Caliborn said, smacking Dirk's wandering hand away. "You will come now."

"Whoa, getting ahead of yourself there."

"Is that more sick human innuendo?"

"Yes, it's more- you know what? Let's just get going. Ice cream's melting."

The walked down the sidewalk side by side, obnoxious blocking it and making everyone coming the other direction detour into the grass or road. Dirk kept nudging Caliborn's side, trying for a sneaky finger brush but was always knocked away.

"Here we are," Caliborn said. "We will now purchase a milkshake with two straws."

"I don't know man," Dirk said. "That's practically going steady. And you haven't even given me your letter jacket yet."

Caliborn balled his hands into fists, struggling to keep calm. Dirk waited. After several moments of silence be began to tap his foot.

"Stop that immediately!" Caliborn snapped.

"Make me," Dirk said.

Caliborn growled before lunging, yanking Dirk against his body and slamming their faces together.

"Holy fuck," Dirk said when he was released.

"Are you swooning?" Caliborn asked.

"Yeah, from blood lost you fucking mauled my mouth oh god I think I lost a tooth."

"You have no sense of romance."

omg this is so cute ahhhhhhhh ;__;

oh my god this is beautiful i love it i love you

thank you so much alshfksf

TT: You ready?
TG: rreayd as ill ever be
TG: reayd*

She looked down off the edge of one of the many mansions filled with hundreds of exiles gathered around her, wondering what sort of spectacle she would put on. She heard quiet muttering amongst them, but didn't try to decipher what they were saying.

One small carapace child walked up to her and tugged on her skirt, as if to ask what she's doing. She just turned and patted them on the head, as if to say it will all be okay.

TT: It's now or never.

He stood on his roof, watching the seagulls flying, squawking, together. He looked back and gave a small salute to his faithful robots. They nodded back. He fondly touched his sunglasses and said goodbye to Auto-Responder, and left him on the roof.

TG: remmeber to hold yoru breath
TG: *w/e

As she teetered on the edge, and the carapaces began to understand what she was about to do. They elbowed, pulled, and pushed each other, trying to get someone to stop her. The little child next to her didn't understand, and so they let go of her skirt.

TT: Make sure no exiles follow after you.

He turned around and studied the tower, making sure he would remember this image after he was gone. Usually Sawtooth and Squarewave would have begun a rap battle, and AR would be rattling off, but they could sense the tension in the air.

TT: On 3.
TG: !...
TT: 2
TG: 3,,,

They simultaneously took deep breaths and plunged into the icy water, one swan-diving, the other doing a cannonball. They held their breaths despite their instinct to return to the surface and breathe sweet, sweet air. She counted back from one thousand and thought about what it would be like to hold him, to feel warm flesh besides her own. He thought about holding her, hugging her, kissing her; and that was enough to make him determined to hold his breath.

When they woke up on Derse, they both woke up in a cold sweat. He immediately went to her tower and found her wandering around her room, a room that was both simultaneously familiar and new.

He grabbed her a held her soaking up the warmth and feeling of an living, breathing human being.

(sorry that I made it sadder than you probably wanted.)

(what a good prompt)

John<>Jade, at a hikyoueki (obscure, small, rarely-used train station) in rural Japan. (Lots of photos --> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiky%C5%8D_station and http://hp1.cyberstation.ne.jp/hikyoueki/Top50.htm)

Thank you so much! I haven't really written these two before and I'm glad it turned out well. They have such an interesting dynamic.

Kanaya: Have A Marvelous Time While Dressed To The Nines.

You return to the bar with Sollux and dodge past other patrons to grab some drinks. It's crowded, loud, and the air is saturated with alcohol but neither of you care. Partially because you are both having a grand time, mostly because you are delightfully buzzed and Sollux makes positively horrible puns while drunk.

It's good to see him so relaxed, even if you have to occasionally catch his arm to prevent him from toppling into a table.

You are missing one member of your triad of 'bead hunters' as Eridan had dubbed it. Roughly an hour prior you all split up with the intent to collect as many beads as possible.Or rather, Sollux and Eridan had ran off to collect more beads than each other and you walked over to another bar across the street for another glass of wine. An attractive blue-blood let you hand-pick from the beads around her neck... and then she introduced you to her friends. So you managed to pick up a few.

Sollux seems to have fared decently in his endeavor, after all he isn't nearly as color-conscious as yourself. You accepted only greens or reds to complement your dress. He sorted red and blue beads onto either arm and the other-colored beads went on his neck.

In your little alcove with Sollux, you are looking at the door while he accounts one of his more amusing 'conquests' involving mistaken identity, a poor bystander, and a trampoline. You spot Eridan walk in. Knee-jerk instinct makes you want to guwaff and laugh unattractively but you manage to reign it in. You smile serenely at him and signal him over.

Him and his giant piles of beads dripping off of him. He has beads coating his arms, his neck; there are pairs slung across his horns as if someone tossed them through the air in a game of hoofbeast-shoes.

"Wooooooooah ed, you got theriouthly fucked up." Sollux slurs then devolves into uncontrollable laughter as he sags against the wall. Eridan glowers at him and pushes Sol further down the wall before turning his 'I've-been-victimized' face back to you.

"Shovve it Sol, you havve no idea wwhat I'vve seen tonight. Kan, the parts of humans I'vve seen... the horror."

But indeed, Eridan is 'fucked up': his heavily-styled hair is disheveled and hangs down around his cheeks. His turtleneck is wrinkled past all hope and one sleeve has been rucked up to his elbow with no chance of pulling it back down over the mass of beads.

"Oh you poor unfortunate troll, come here and tell me all your woes. Now hold my glass while I bring you back to some semblance of well-groomed." You get an eye roll for the sarcasm but he still shuffles a bit closer, pulling off stings of beads to toss at Sollux's face.

You dig a comb out of your purse and get to work while Sollux laughs on the floor of the bar.
