Prompt 1: Everyday Life

[A nondescript man pats down his pockets, frowns, and then heads your way with purpose.]

So . . . Don't suppose I could get a smoke off of you?

Prompt 2: I Can't Believe It's Not Thusia

[Your character has died! And then . . . woken up in some cold stone room full of weird shrines??? Plus some strange dude is sitting next to you, puffing lightly on a cigarette.]

Oh, you're awake? Then welcome back to the land of the living. Or to the land of the re-living. Still not sure how the terminology works there.

Prompt 3: You Make Up A Scenario

[You make up a scenario.]

[offscript]

An honorable gentleman.

[dreamvour]

[a hand comes up to fiddle with the strap of her bookbag]

It isn't courtesy, it's just how my story works.

[she glances up at him, head tilted] Just like your kind have stories that you can't go against . . . at least, the ones I know of.

[wethrinaer]

Ah, and here I thought a person was either or.

[malignstar]

Who said I was complaining?

[jarredforlife]

Isn't that just common courtesy?

[jarredforlife]

Don't be too surprised, now.

[jarredforlife]

I think I just did . . . ?

[jarredforlife]

I don't know about stories, exactly, but there are always rules that can't be broken.

[offscript]

Courtesy isn't always that common.

[malignstar]

Don't make assumptions, angel.

[dreamvour]

Mm. It's basically the same thing.

[wethrinaer]

But my worldview! It's crumbling to pieces as we speak.

[jarredforlife]

[lighting the cigarette with a snap of his fingers; the snap makes a spark]

The cynical type, huh.

[jarredforlife]

Feel free to take some time to pull yourself back together, then.

[jarredforlife]

Pretty touchy, aren't you? I guess that part fits the whole fire demon cliche thing . . .

[jarredforlife]

This is getting too philosophical for me . . .

[malignstar]

What cliche?

[jarredforlife]

Touchy chain-smoking punks. With red hair.

Well, two out of four ain't bad . . .

[malignstar]

My hair has nothing to do with my element. It is a coincidence, nothing more.

[dreamvour]

How so?

[jarredforlife]

I didn't say it did. It's a cliche, after all.

[malignstar]

And what is the origin of this cliche?

[wethrinaer]

I don't know if I have the heart to bother.

[offscript]

Realistic. We're all out for ourselves.

[jarredforlife]

Is this your way of saying I need to repay you for the cigarette . . .
