FILLED (again): Rubber Duckie, You're The One, Dean, PG-13, horror, 1/2prufrock_26August 20 2012, 03:40:36 UTC
A/N: So, yes. I know this has already been filled, quite beautifully. I definitely didn't intend to do it again. It's just that I spent ten hours in the car today, and got pretty bored, and for some reason....this happened.
Rubber Duckie, You're The One
The bathroom is pink.
Not just pink, like that. Startlingly pink, overwhelmingly pink, pink enough to send bile choking up his exhausted throat for a second, because everything in this ten-foot-square room is an alarming shade of pink

Ignoring the overenthusiastic bath toy, Dean finds a magenta washcloth and drags it over the soap, scrubbing the compacted dirt off his belly and knees. The cloth's got to be fucking silk, or something, because it's about as far from scratchy motel cotton as supermarket cake from a home-baked cherry pie

OH MY GOD.
Best. Thing. Ever.
(Also at first I thought the thing with the tendrils meant that something was *under* his skin, and he'd somehow been infected, which, aieee. Imagine chest-bursting rubber duckies!)

I'm not sure I want to imagine chest-bursting rubber duckies....*imagines* Nope, definitely not. /Alien flashback
I'm still coming to terms, actually, with the fact that I've written a story about a man-eating rubber duckie. That....might take me some time. In the meantime, I shall accept my Participant ribbon with pride.

Holy shit. XP YOU GUYS. I LOVE ALL OF YOU. HOW DO YOU WORK THIS KIND OF MAGIC WITH PROMPTS LIKE THESE. I adooooooooooooore this--it felt to me like there were two levels of horror at work, here--the unfamiliarity of the surroundings (all the pink, the bubble bath, the tub, the washclooooothhhhh), which while nice were a little bit creepy--and then the duck. I can definitely relate to the former; that feeling when you're like OMG THIS FEELS WEIRD WHAT IS IT. --OH, IT'S A MATTRESS, AND NOT THE FLOOR. And the latter, goodness. I collect rubber ducks, so this desk looks a bit like this:

YAY I'M SO GLAD YOU LIKED IT!
Oh, I loooove all of these crazy prompts - and I love that you picked up on those two horror threads, the mundane and the WTF (though, I dunno...I think I'd find an all-pink bathroom even more unsettling than a murderous bath toy). Balancing the creepy and the ridiculous was amazingly fun.
Also: THOSE DUCKS. That's terrifying already, without the addition of homicidal intent.

Thanks so much! See, I almost feel like this is one I can't quite take full credit for, because it's the cracky premise that makes it so much fun. But I'm glad my efforts at translating that premise into actual words worked out so well: visceral, creepy, and weird are exactly what I was going for. It was immensely fun to write. :)

Oh, this was awesome! The feel of relaxation, the idea of the over-pink bath and the bubbles and the washcloth, and everything is perfect... which of course can't last, can it?
I really feel bad for Dean, but man, that was a really creepy idea!
