Prompt me with happy drabble prompts!

[sg_fignewton]

Just sent off a sample chapter to a prospective client, YAY.

As we're halfway through Chanukah, how about some happy drabble prompts? Anything SG-1 based (and gen, heh). No holiday themes - just something happy!

Harry Maybourne + off-world fermented fruit.

Is that happy, or scary, though?

[sg_fignewton]

::sporfles:: With my opinion of Maybourne? If you want happy, you might want to pick a different prompt. ;)

[campylobacter]

Are you saying that Maybourne having a Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day *wouldn't* make legions of Stargate fans very, very HAPPY?

[sg_fignewton]

Hah. Actually, the majority of fandom seems to like Harry quite a lot - "loves to hate him," as they say. He's one of the few characters I seriously despise. Your attitude makes you... hm. The third one on my flist who agrees. ;)

Anyway. Here's some Maybourne and Jack during Paradise Lost for you:

"JACK!"

Jack didn't take his eyes off his fishing line as Maybourne stomped towards him. "You bellowed?" he inquired.

"Don't you have experience in making a still?"

"Not really, no." Jack finally glanced at him. "Moonshine not working out yet?"

"I can't get those blue fruits to ferment!"

"Should've thought of that before stranding us here."

Maybourne groaned pitifully. "What kind of paradise is it when you can't get drunk?"

In truth, Jack would've gladly tried some of Skaara's poisonous brew right now. But watching Maybourne's tantrum was almost as good -- and anyway, a person needs to drink with friends.

::giggles:: Oh, delicious, but I can't buy it. Really I can't. I can see Daniel not recognizing Klingon, but Tengwar? Tolkien put such loving care into the etymology of the language that I can't believe Daniel wouldn't know it.

I can take the prompt and twist into something completely different or you can give me a different prompt - it's up to you. But it would be OOC for me as it stands now. Sorry. :)

Re: Reaching here, but...

[sg_fignewton]

Of course Daniel would be interested in real languages, yes, but as a philologist, I think he'd be fascinated by tracing the Nordic roots that Tolkien used. It's not a question of whether he'd respect it, just whether he'd know it. And I think he would.

Anyway. Here's the prompt, slightly altered:

Daniel is used to Jack and Dixon leaving cheap souvenirs in the archeology lab in the hope they'll be mistaken for off-world artifacts. He doesn't mind; it keeps his people on their toes, and some items have been creatively entertaining. But he's a little insulted when he finds a page of script on his desk, labeled P4X-442 -- translate immediately.

"Tengwar, Jack?" he demands, flourishing the offensive paper. "You think I wouldn't recognize Tolkien's Elvish?"

"I liked the movie," Jack defends himself.

"Try Pig Latin next time!" Daniel snaps, and stalks away.

Jack considers. "Huh. Maybe Klingon will work."

Teal'c + kittens :D

[sg_fignewton]

Bastet was most obsessed, but the cat has always been a favored, cosseted pet among the Goa'uld. Teal'c remembers those sleek, arrogant creatures: long-haired, perfectly groomed, bedecked in jeweled collars and fed dainties from golden plates. He admired their grace, but cared little for them.

Now Teal'c considers a very different kind of feline -- a bedraggled kitten, small enough to fit in the palm of his hand. As he gently strokes between her ears, her mouth opens in a silent mew, pink tongue flicking a question.

"Yes," he tells her. "I believe we will suit one another quite well."

[aelfgyfu_mead]

Aw!

[sg_fignewton]

Yay! :)

[rdamel]

They've completed a successful mission, sometime early seasons, and Jack talks everyone into attending a hockey game with him. Team reactions to this sport? Whatever, as long as it's fun and happy, I'll enjoy!

"Modern-day blood sport," Daniel said dismissively. "I suppose salary caps are better than ritual sacrifice."

"That goalie is calculating the angles all wrong! How can he block the puck if he doesn't --"

"I am disappointed, O'Neill. I was unaware that the Tau'ri cannot resort to violence without protective padding."

"GUYS!" Jack looked at his team with fond exasperation. "Just enjoy it, will you? This is supposed to be fun!"

The impassive gazes morphed into wicked grins, and Jack realized they were playing him.

"Hmph." He folded his arms and huffed. "Just for that, you're all buying your own beer."

[rdamel]

Good fun, very "them"--thank you!!

Thanks for the fun prompt! :)

[aurora_novarum]

No prompt, just wishing you a Happy Hannukah! :-D

[sg_fignewton]

Thank you! :)
