writing fairy tales is harder than it seems

[reikah]

Soooo thanks for your thoughts on sex and/or ticky boxes in yesterday's poll. I'd say your answers were being used constructively but that would be a hilarious and obvious lie, so you know, CHEERS ANYWAY. (TICKY BOX

OKAY, OKAY, let's see -- your icons are FABULOUS!

I pick [TRC] FWR - TROLLFASE!!! :DDDD
Or alternatively: [TRC] Fai - scarred but standing

Andandand- I'll totally stop at two, because I really want to list about four more icons, and shouldn't spam you. I can do that later, when you're more bored. \o/

/loves on you, forever and ever

this totally turned into a world of warcraft thing /facepalm

1. "I don't get it," Kurogane said, folding his arms over his chest. "What do these idiots get out of doing that?"

"Hmm?" Fai came to stand beside him, following his line of sight to the immense mammoth squatting right atop the mailbox, rendering it inaccessible to all else. The mammoth's rider had his face buried in a book and showed no signs of moving. "Oh dear," Fai said, and sighed.

"Oi!" Kurogane cupped his hands over his mouth to carry his voice all the way up. "Get the fuck off the mailbox, idiot!"

The mammoth rider ignored him.

"Tch. Got any baby spice?"

"Umm..." Fai paused, checking his bags, and then shook his head. "No. Sorry, I used it all up the last time he did this."

"So he's a repeat offender?" Kurogane asked, his brow furrowing. "What the hell does he get out of it?"

"He's a troll, Kuro-tan," Fai said, amused. "His whole role in life is to cause unnecessary grief to other people. It's what he gets off on

[konnichipuu]

LMAO! :'D This is a BEAUTY and totally not too warcrafty to be understood by a non-player!

I LOVE this! (I also can't help but think that that's c!Syao on top of the mammoth >.>)

... /snortgiggles some more at FWR trolling a mailbox

[mikkeneko]

QQ I bet FWR mines the ore out of a node and leaves the rocks, too!

[zelinxia]

Oooh...(since I'm a Zelda fan, too), how about: [LoZ] If this is grace.

[reikah]

She was fourteen years old when her father died. It had been a hunting accident, and he was sorely missed; when they brought her the news Princess Zelda locked herself in her bedchamber and cried and cried until she had no more tears left to cry, and even then she did not emerge. Outside the scheming had begun, the clamouring of nobles seeking to be appointed her regent, but within these walls she was alone, curling up in her childhood bed with her sorrow for company

[zelinxia]

It's lovely! Especially for the incarnate from Twilight Princess, I always seen Princess Zelda as a very composed leader who does her best for her kingdom, so I'm glad it's captured in this short story.

Thanks! :D

[mikkeneko]

I don't even know this canon or this character, but that's awesome!

[konnichipuu]

YOU'RE WONDERFUL! :DD /GLOMPS

Uhm, and cause you're so good at this and cause I have no shame, other icons I'd LOVE to see:

[FMA] Do you graverob? I do!
or [TRC] This was YOUR idea!
or [IM] I hope your donkey explodes

FOR YOU TO PICK! :D /SPAMS and runs, leaving you loooove ♥

[reikah]

"What are they doing?" Syaoran asks, wide eyes fixed on the television screen. Behind him Kurogane makes a choked sound.

"Well," says Fai helpfully, "When two pretty girls love each other very very much on an x-rated tv-channel -"

"STOP TALKING, WIZARD, AND FIND THE DAMN REMOTE!" Kurogane roars.

[konnichipuu]

LMAO! :'D

Oh, a flat full of men -- they'll NEVER find the remote. Poor Syaoran. *petpetpet*

[mikkeneko]

Ahahaha, as though Kurogane should need to ask, growing up in a castle with Kendappa and Souma :p

[zelinxia]

Why not two more?

[TRC] Kurogane - sticks and stones
[TRC] Kurogane - violence will ensue.

[reikah]

It's not that you don't like all chocolate. It's that you don't like sweet chocolate, and when Fai hands you a brick of rich dark chocolate your first impulse is to say 'no'.

"Come on, Kuro-irrational," he says chidingly, like you're the one using trite nicknames and ignoring personal boundaries here. Your hands are busy or you would push him away. "Give it a try!"

"A try, a try, a try~!" chimes the pork bun, and you open your mouth to tell them where to stuff it when he moves, fast as lightning, and your teeth close reflexively as he shoves something toward your mouth -

- except not fast enough and they close over the object, and suddenly bitterness paints itself over your tongue. You narrow your eyes at him, but for once he just smiles at you innocently (like you can believe THAT for an instant, doesn't he know how open his damn EYES are?) and just turns away

[zelinxia]

Oh please, Kurogane, you know you appreciate him giving you dark chocolate instead of a sweeter one. xD

(Also like how this icon and the next icon has him biting down on something and staring at you intensely)

[reikah]

Maybe it started back in Lecourt, I don't know. Maybe it started before then, in the foxholes of Yama or the cafe of Outo or even the rain in front of the Witch's house.

All my life I've trained as hard as I can to be the best. I was the best, and yeah, I kinda enjoyed it. I was safe. I was strong and I was dangerous and I was never gonna be some wimpy frightened kid sitting outside while a monster gutted my mom, not again.

And now he's dying, and he's not fighting it, and I am so unspeakably angry: at him, for being so fucking pitiful, and at me, for being so fucking trapped. I gave up my copy of Ginryuu, and I didn't really miss it, because it was just a copy. I think maybe if the witch asks I'll give up the real thing. I don't know what other price I have to pay. I just know that he's a fucking moron and that this is something I have to do, because he needs to find some of that fucking strength and maybe I'm the only one who can show him how.

Heh.

I wonder if Tomoyo can see me now.

I hope she's proud.

[mikkeneko]

Okay, have at:

[TRC] Kurogane - chilled. and
[TRC] KuroFai - stop teasing him!

And just for the practice, the first one has to be 1st person POV Kurogane. >.>

[reikah]

It's not often I get some time to myself, in a close-knit group like this one. I think the wizard actually makes a habit of never leaving me alone. It wouldn't surprise me.

The world we're in is kind of boring, just a big damn forest. I would say there's no sign of life, but the kid would screw up his nose and object in that polite but firm way he has and point out that what I mean is no sign of higher life because there's plenty of like, plants and shit, I don't know.

I sent him and the pork bun out to get firewood. We're in a damn forest, it's not like there's firewood all over the place anyway, but I think I managed to convey that it wasn't firewood we needed so much as firewood. His stammering made it seem like he worked out what I meant, anyway, and he left pretty quick. That was a few hours ago

[zelinxia]

I sent him and the porn bun

Pssst, you mean pork bun? xD Mokona and Freudian finger slips? Makes sense...

[reikah]

HAH managed to sneak an edit in there
