So... remember that drabble meme I did a long, long time ago? And how there are some I haven't done yet? Yeah, here they are, in all their horrible, terrible glory.
Now with bonus meme!
Buggy - Waspinator/Inferno ~ 101 words
Inferno and Waspinator. An almost insanely loyal ant and the universe’s chew toy. Together, they were the air support for the Predacons on Earth. They were partners by necessity and by choice. Their arrangement wasn’t perfect, it wasn’t even close, and it hadn’t been since Terorsaur’s death, but it was good enough for them. After all, flyers fly in threes, that basic, essential fact is ingrained in the processors of all, flyer and ground-pounder alike, but what if there was not a third to be had? What if two was all there was to be had? Where does that leave them?
Kai - Prowl/Starscream - Beginnings ~ 135 words
Prowl groaned, staring into his cube as if it held the answers to all his problems, which, at this point, he couldn’t even compute an argument against. Carefully, he took a sip of the high-grade, feeling every inch of his exhaustion. What had possessed him to do such an idiotic thing? It was bad enough that he had run the obstacle course at a higher speed than was recommended, but to do it to impress a flyer? And, it wasn’t even as if he had run it once, no, he, in his idiocy, had gone four times, failing each time to catch the seeker’s optic. Cursing himself again for his idiocy, he drinks again from the cube, maybe it wouldn’t give him the answers to his problems, but maybe it would dim the memory thereof.
Pick 20 movies/anime/video games/literary works and put their summaries from Better than it Sounds (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BetterThanItSounds) and WITHOUT CHEATING have your friends guess.
Also, these are all things I have, or am currently, watching/reading. Not that that'll help any.
1. Transforming Mecha become cyborgs because their fuel source is poison to them, reenact historical events on an alien world while Sufficiently Advanced Aliens get pissed that they're ruining their petri dish.
2. A man learns to love his brother. This is considered a bad thing.
3. A group of babies have adventures while their parents aren't looking.
4. A washed-up team of robots flees to Earth after discovering a powerful artifact during a routine repair assignment, winds up in a coma for 50 years. Upon awakening, They Fight Crime.
5. A man is let out of prison and is hired as chauffeur and bodyguard to a weird man who's conducting a secret war against another bunch of other weird people. The story is occasionally interrupted for history lessons or stories that are almost completely unrelated.
6. Superweapons are given to mentally unstable children while the adults plot to destroy the world.
7. Two guys have to put up with a new co-worker who enjoys their job a little too much. Explosive levels of angst ensue.
8. Physical competition against spandex-clad bodybuilders. Modeled off ancient Roman bloodsport.
9. Four comedians try to impress a judge with a buzzer by making stuff up as they go along.
10. A man injured on the job gets no worker's compensation, so he decides to shoot up the place with an immigrant friend.
11. Man has to team up with geek to defeat thieves armed with... computers... whose plan involves taking over America.
12. Pale boy steals rock and saves government. Then poor girl destroys statue so pale boy can save government. Then pale boy destroys government.
13. The government opens up relations with a foreign power, and our heroes respond by blowing up buildings. Also, there's a kid who wants to bang a lizard.
14. Guy accidentally destroys a food offering. To prevent the violent consequences of such act, he hires a circus troupe.
14. Policemen try to stop a war, and along the way find out they were mistaken about who wanted to start it in the first place. Also, one of them unwittingly gets messages from an alternate universe in which one wrong move got everyone he knows killed.
15. A retired Marine with a redhead fetish, a lecherous playboy, a malapropping Israeli assassin, a murder mystery writer / computer nerd and online gamer, an old British doctor and a Perky Goth with a caffeine habit work for the US Navy. They Fight Crime!
16. High-placed copper on trail of murderer gets sent back in time to mentor his newbie self and accidentally pulls off a revolution. The present day head of state's younger self proves to be a badass assassin.
17. A group of FBI agents, including a socially awkward young genius with a schizophrenic mother, a really serious guy with family issues, and a former cop who likes to kick down doors, fly to different parts of the country in order to pretend that they are crazy people.
18. A postmaster inherits a dog that owns a bank and convinces an entire city to abandon the gold standard.
19. An apathetic virgin with a death certificate get press-ganged into collecting the souls of newly departed when not hanging out in a diner with her dysfunctional co-workers. Post-it-notes are Serious Business.
20. Inverse Goths try to conquer a mountain kingdom, but are driven out with the help of an old lady, a wishy-washy priest, and an army of psychotic smurfs.
