    I get a trenchcoat and fedora (presumably, on the second item), so I'm content. I wonder if I'll be the one converted to the dark side, or if I'll do converting. Or if I'll die. Or if I get to arrest someone.

    In other words, I'm awaiting this story with anticipation.

    Funny you ask.

    As of about one and a half minutes ago, it's done.

    One More Cup of Coffee
    The Rose Dragon/PhoeKun
    Spoiler
    Show
    The Rose Dragon opened his eyes, and saw, through a haze of anaesthetic, the industrial-white of a hospital, and the bed on which he was lying. Across what felt like eternities of time and space, he remembered two gunshots. One clearly, despite the chemicals polluting his blood and consciousness. The other gunshot, he remembered, but without much detail.

    Four days prior, (at least, it felt like somewhere around four days) Rose had gone for a quick coffee break while on duty. Among the darkwood decor (which matched his police uniform) and fragrances that flitted through the cafe, a face had caught his eye as he was getting his drink, so he sat down with it. One 'PhoeKun's' face, he learned, after a conversation that was eloquently curtailed by Rubakhin,
    "Hey, we can't f*** around here all day. We're not even supposed to be on break yet. You said you were just getting coffee, not chatting someone up."

    Blushing, Rose and PhoeKun exchanged goodbyes (and numbers), before he returned to his troop car with Rubakhin. More stretches of scorching state highway to patrol.

    A dinner between Rose and PhoeKun, and three days later after sundown, Rose and Rubakhin were on the highway again, pulled over with a radar gun. Rising above the crickets chirping, beneath a blank, black sky, their radio crackled to life.

    "Attention, all units on or near state highway 308, respond to a one-eight-seven, and possible two-one-one-in-progress, twelve miles southbound from the I-64 interchange. Location is a gas station mart." Message repeats twice more.

    After some swearing from Rubakhin -who, as the junior officer of the two, had never responded to a homicide before- the two drove into the darkness, sirens wailing, lights tearing the night around them.

    Upon arrival, the two cops found the gas station, with the night attendant's gruesome body face down in front of the entrance. The mauve-haired attendant had evidently attempted to run away from the killer, and had been rewarded with a single bullet to the neck.

    The two policemen drew their service pistols, and entered through the broken, glass doors. Upon seeing Lyinginbedmon, who was the apparent culprit and had a hostage in the hall next to the bathrooms, Rose's insides turned to ice. The PhoeKun who he'd met, and dined with, was being held in front of Lying, with a wavering gun held to her jaw. Rubakhin noticed Rose's shock, and spoke for his superior,
    "Ma'am, put the gun down. There's no need for more violence now."

    Lying's only response was a second bullet, this time for Rubakhin, who was killed instantly, the same way Mauve Shirt was. With a half-crazed, half-scared look on her face, Lying frantically added,
    "Oh my god... Don't shoot me! He was going to. I can tell."

    With Rubakhin shot, however, Rose knew what he was meant to do. Ignoring his screaming eardrums, he put Lying's head on top of the front sight of his gun -hesitated- and pulled the trigger. Whilst praying for PhoeKun's safety, Lying's gun went off as well, but not pointed at PhoeKun. A bullet entered Rose's right lung, and he blacked out.

    Now the fog in Rose's mind had ascended, and he knew that it was three corpses for the morgue, three gunshots, and one search for a killer. The killer was Lyinginbedmon, naturally, and the gunshots were for Rubakhin, Lyinginbedmon, and himself. The first fatality was the mauve-haired woman. The second, Rubakhin. A single tear rolled off of Rose's face, onto the hospital's pillow.

    There was a cup of coffee on the table to Rose's right.


    EDIT: Bah. Why does it seem so lackluster?
    EDIT2: Yeah, got you in there, Mauve. In a way... Sorry about that...

    Another One Bites the Dust
    Spoiler
    Show
    rand walks warily down the street,
    With the brim pulled way down low
    Ain't no sound but the sound of his feet,
    Machine guns ready to go
    Are you ready, Are you ready for this
    Are you hanging on the edge of your seat
    Out of the doorway the bullets rip
    To the sound of the beat

    He had a date. A date with a certain little lady with a certain piece of inside information that would prove very useful in his investigation. The sound of stuttering bullets drew him out of his disinterested state.
    Another one bites the dust
    Another one bites the dust
    And another one gone, and another one gone
    Another one bites the dust
    "Hey, I'm gonna get you too."
    Screamed the irate gunman as he saw rand enter the the speakeasy. The lady he was here to speak was lying crumpled up on the floor, her flapper dress slowly soaking with blood and liquor. His gaze flicked from her to the man. And back again.
    "Why did you do that?" his chocolate voiced drawled out into the suffocated silence. The man babbled something about her, his RHL, being a spy for the other side and bringing dissent into the ranks of all good human beings. rand merely blinked. "You're a fool."
    There are plenty of ways you can hurt a man
    And bring him to the ground
    You can beat him
    You can cheat him
    You can treat him bad and leave him
    When he's down
    But I'm ready, yes I'm ready for you
    I'm standing on my own two feet

    His inner litany of song seemed particularly pleased with himself as the music cued in just as his beloved necromancer rose from her feet, grinned her grin and walked away from him to the sound of his faltering breath.
    As he took her hand and walked out of the murky room. "Why try to kill a necromancer? She'll only come back and kill you."
    His words fell on dead ears. Literally.
    "Well my beloved, shall we go to the restaurant after you've3 cleaned off?"

    Curly, that one has garnered approval.

    Your rand and RHL are so badass in a weird, awesome way.

    Oh, and I'm considering recording myself saying "Why did you do that?", and putting it up here.
    Because that's exactly how I'm crazy.

    Ha! Excellent.

    Urk, I really need to get writing again. There's still so much poem that needs writing, and I just found a cd that needs to be made into a story, too. I'd have so much less to do, but for this thread...

    Lissou/Zar Peter:

    Killer Queen
    Spoiler
    Show

    He was waiting for her. She was famous for her conversation and arts; the rumours were rife.
    She keeps Moet et Chandon
    In a pretty cabinet
    'Let them eat cake' she says
    Just like Marie Antoinette
    A built-in remedy
    For Khrushchev and Kennedy
    At anytime an invitation
    You can't decline

    They whispered. And he, (C)Zar of Petrovshii and finally received an invitation from her. Around him were the best
    Caviar and cigarettes
    And he had heard from the most reputable of sources of how she was
    Well versed in etiquette
    Extraordinarily nice
    . . .
    Recommended at the price
    Insatiable an appetite

    And she entered. A stunning woman wearing elegant silks and furs. And her conversation was startling. Wittier than the most well - educated courtier of his court. This time she went by the name Lissou; last time she had surfaced in Paris and was called Marie.
    To avoid complications
    She never kept the same address
    In conversation
    She spoke just like a baroness

    He fell entranced with this Lissou. She of almost perfect quality. It wasn't to last though. She
    Met a man from China
    Went down to Geisha Minah

    And she was gone. As faint as her French perfume; and he always thought of her. Couldn't she come back one day? He doubted it - this man from China was who she loved. And it was only one visit.
    She didn't fall in love with men that easily.

    One consort story. Not that good though.
    I may do requests instead of running methodicall through the lot. One cookie for the person who suggests a Queen song from Greatest Hits I, II or III that I can't write a fic about!

    Is this the real life
    Is this just fantasy
    Caught in a landslide
    No escape from reality

    He lay curled up on his bed rocking to and fro silently, tears pouring down his face as he mouthed along to the lyrics.
    There was no escape from reality any more. He had killed his fantasy, his love.
    Mama, just killed a man,
    Put a gun against his head,
    Pulled my trigger, now he's dead,
    Mama, life had just begun,
    But now I've gone and thrown it all away

    It was no accident. The man who killed his rubakhin had done it because of him. Just because he wanted some money. And that man had shot him. Because he couldn't move. Couldn't give the druggie the money.
    Too late, my time has come,
    Sends shivers down my spine
    Body's aching all the time,
    Goodbye everybody - I've got to go
    Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth

    He was nothing without the person he loved. He wanted to see him so much. Perhaps death would be the balm to soothe his fevered soul.
    He didn't want to die though. He would sometimes wish he'd never been born at all. But then he wouldn't have met rubakhin . . .
    I see a little silhouetto of a man,
    Scaramouche, scaramouche will you do the fandango
    Thunderbolt and lightning - very very frightening me

    Everywhere he looked he would see shadows and memories of him. It scared him and hurt him so much.
    The rock section cut in and Kneenibble stopped his frantic rocking.
    So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye
    So you think you can love me and leave me to die

    His thoughts froze. It was as if Freddie was singing how he felt. In a sense he hated rubakhin for leaving him and letting his soul die. And it felt like what rubakhin would say. He loved him and left him to die.
    He could only try to live his life now, hoping for the pain to lessen but never fade.
    It would be very hard. But Kneenibble felt like rubakhin wouldn't want him to stop living. It would be very hard indeed.


    I like this Queen themed stuff. Maybe I'll do more. I've only got the three greatest hits albums though, so that's only *sigh* about fifty. Heh. I'll just do what strikes my fancy.
    I frickin' love that song. And this fic.

    You know, Kneenibble and I would make a good couple. Hey, man, what're you doing this Saturday?

    D:
    Maggums has given permission! Now for a request merged with a long standing request/idea/thought:

    RHL/Maggums (Lord_Maggytok):

    The Show Must Go On
    Spoiler
    Show

    Empty spaces - what are we living for?
    Abandoned places - I guess we know the score..
    On and on!
    Does anybody know what we are looking for?

    She sat in the ruins holding what she had found. The places where they once once fought, loved, argued and waged war on HALO were empty, abandoned and destroyed.
    Another hero - another mindless crime.
    Behind the curtain, in the pantomime

    But he'd hate to be called that. He revelled in destroying the pitiful heroes. Her Maggums loved to play the puppet master bringing about the heroes' own downfall from behind the curtain. That and obliterating Saur and every other AMENite he could.
    But there'd been an 'accident', they said. And he'd died. No clones left either. 'They caused the explosion' they said.
    Whatever happens, I'll leave it all to chance.
    Another heartache - another failed romance.
    On and on!
    Does anybody know what we are living for?
    I guess I'm learning
    I must be warmer now..
    I'll soon be turning round the corner now.
    Outside the dawn is breaking,
    But inside in the dark I'm aching to be free!

    She'd had so many failed romances. They fled when they found out she was a necromancer. Or an AMENite. Or just not what they wanted her to be. But her Maggy didn't care for those. Hell, he'd welcomed her with open arms (sure, they were only open because she's just riped them off his body and thrown them to opposite sides of the room but still) and she loved it. She had been learning to smile with him.
    Inside my heart is breaking!
    My make-up may be flaking!
    But my smile, still, stays on!

    She couldn't shake that new - learnt gift of his from her face even though she felt her soul shivering on the point of breaking. Never again could she glomp hug him. His cyborg half couldn't be brought back by her. The stress - song of the crystalised memories rang with a pure sharp note. And she had an epiphany
    My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies,
    Fairy tales of yesterday, will grow but never die

    The memories she had of him would always grow; and she woul treasure them more than the rarest of jewels or unsacred metals. And she began to smile, a thought had occured to her. One that made her laugh with malicious glee.
    I'll face it with a grin!
    I'm never giving in!
    On with the show!

    I'll top the bill!
    I'll overkill!
    I have to find the will to carry on!

    She would take vegeance for his murder. And she stood up, holding onto Maggy's hand tightly and set off for the new base with a bloody grin on her face. They would burn.
    And that other necromancer would aid her, on pain of pain that would cause the blood thirstiest demon to quail in fear. He would help her bring her love back.

    Huh. Queen lends itself to the melancholy. Or is it just the background behind this song in particular?

    EDIT:
    @rubakhin: glad you liked it and that the song suited you.

    Curly, I fricken LOVE you, for both the Rand one and the one with Maggums.
    Especially the Maggums one

    Also, is it just me, or is Rand/RHL the most popular pairing?

    Mmm, when I come back from my weekend with Cobra, there will be many fics. And they will be AWESOME.

    Also, is it just me, or is Rand/RHL the most popular pairing?

    Mmm, when I come back from my weekend with Cobra, there will be many fics. And they will be AWESOME.
    Well, Another One Bites The Dust sounded very noir - like and noir is randman. And all the shooting made me think it had to be someone who wouldn't die (didn't want another sad songfic) so I thought of Necromanceritp RHL.

    And I've realised that three - quarters of my Queen songfics are sad or involve broken romance.
    Up next: maybe Fat Bottomed girls or Bicycle Race although the last one is more just a random list of things.
    Now that one'll definitely be a challenge.

    And you'd better have many awesome fics after this weekend RHL. Many, many fics.

    EDIT:
    Spread Your Wings?
    Hmmmm. Another ruki-chan/Phoe one maybe.
    Further info?

    FURTHER EDIT:
    Got the perfect pair for this one. Will not be the above one. And a good story too.

    I do indeed.

    Any other requests will need to be in by 8am GMT tomorrow. I'll be travelling tomorrow, so will write on the train, then hopefully post it on Sunday.

    It Hurts. Everything.
    Spoiler
    Show
    The sound the man woke to was weeping, slight juddering sounds in the freezing dark, a rippling, distorted sound, which shattered the air in vorpal streaks of dark glee. His eyes opening, he noticed no difference. The cell, the cellar, the attic, the dungeon, wherever they were, was the epitome of darkness, of dark. Save the weeping, there was no sound, nothing, nothing but weeping. Raising his hand, he stuttered out in pain, in panic, as he found he was manacled. Screaming for help, there was no sound, nothing, but weeping, his throat sore, his mind foggy. With his other, free hand, the one without manacles, without pain, no hurt there, he reaches out into the gloom, the darkness, the dark. It'll be OK. He rasped to the weeper, unable to bear her sobbing, not for care, not for some holy joy, but for silence. For oblivion. And, when the weeping stopped, a voice could be heard, lone in this night, this darkness, this shade, about to speak, when the door burst open, a gaping jaw, the very maws of doom, shining light, blinding, shattering, vorpal, disorienting. With light came pain, blinding, screaming, welting pain. And, when gloom came again, as the door shut, plunging him back into that dizzying darkness, he spoke again. It'll be OK. And for what? For love. For in shade, in shadow, in darkness, in the dark, in the cold, shadowed gloom, there was only him. And her. And love.

    400 lines? That's rather a lot, I prolly don't write that much in a day. Write as many as you feel you can. And here's the requested fic, but one of the perfect pair wasn't there so I give you the replacement.

    Cristo Meyers/happyturtle:

    Spread Your Wings

    happy was low
    Just watching the show
    Over and over again
    Knew it was time
    She'd made up her mind
    To leave her dead life behind

    She was working in the bar again sweeping up the idiot juice spilled by drunks and losers. Losers like herself. She mumbled that to herself, unaware of her red haired boss watching her from the store cupboard. "I'm a loser like them."
    Her boss said to her
    Girl you'd better begin
    To get those crazy notions right out of your head
    Happy who do you think that you are?

    She replied monotonously that she was worthless. After all, working in such a dump wasn't exactly what she'd hope for. "Really?" he queried, "And as the proprietor of such a dump I'm worthless too?"
    Aghast at what she'd just implied she apologised furiously crimson "Sorry"s spilling from her lips as she blushed. "Just kidding with you. Besides, if you think you're better than this, why stay here?"
    Since she was small
    Had no luck at all
    Nothing came easy to her
    Now it was time
    She'd made up her mind
    this could be my last chance
    Her boss said to her, "Now listen girl!"

    "You want to get out of her then go. I can't keep an untamed dove locked up in a cage. And certainly not such a tumbledown one." Taking her hand he gave her a kiss and said wistfully, "Not even one I love."
    Spread your wings and fly away
    Fly away, far away
    Spread your little wings and fly away
    Fly away, far away
    Pull yourself together
    cos you know you should do better
    That's because you're a free girl

    And giving him a grateful look she left him. Aiming for higher things where the clouds were brighter, softer and sung of freedom.
    And he let her leave him. "Happy if our loved one is happy eh? Let's test this out then." He shut the windows and entered his bar.


    EDIT:
    @Kaela: wow. Beautiful as ever. And the imagery is haunting.

    In case you're still puzzling things out, let me just state here real quick that I have no particular preference as to whether I end up as a good or bad guy. Unaligned might work best overall, but it's of no big concern.

    If you are still open to dropping people in, I'll volunteer. Could be fun to see. Since you probably don't know me better than i know you, it might be a bit hard to get to work, though.

    I'm not above totally making stuff up. But it helps if you give me a general character trope type that I can start from.

    That is kinda hard actually. The closest i can get is Tengu's almost formulaic way of saying that he can really see why i have Miyuki, one of the main characters of Lucky Star, as my avatar. I am just that clumsy and inclined to ramble off irrelevant trivia about most topic. Beyond that it grows a lot less clear to most people how to describe me in an archtypical fashion. Perhaps some of the people who know me at least somewhat here have any suggestions.

    Okay, put it this way... what character would you want to play in a cinematic action story?
