Just a couple of quick Random Word Generator-provided prompts for various series...
Metalocalypse
1)“I see you chose to handle the interior design yourself as well.” One eyebrow arched, making the line of scar tissue shift and writhe strangely in the neon light from the ‘TITS’ sign. Nathan scowled, booted feet scuffling at the sand as he tried not to look again at the stacks of ledgers and receipts in Charles’ hands and being carried by the trio of now-paid Klokateers behind them. “This was, uh, all Murderface. *RIFF*ing sandscape. And we, er, let Toki handle snacks.” “Don’t go into the kitchen. Noted,” Charles replied and tried not to smile. It was good to be back.
2)“Playing for the Pope. Big honor. Blahblah blahblah.” Ofdensen rolled his eyes as the boys completely ignored the words coming out of his mouth. Not that that was anything new. Playing for the Pope, however, was. It was a true sign of just how big Dethklok had gotten, now the fifth largest economy in the world as well as the architects of peace in the Middle East. No wonder the Vatican wanted a piece of the action. “Pfft,” Skwisgaar scoffed into the absence of Charles speaking at them, fingers flying over the strings of his Explorer. “Pope is dildoes.”
3)Forty-seven tracks and they were all unusable. Ofdensen shook his head as he listened to his secret copies he had of the recordings that Nathan had destroyed, along with yet another laptop. The trio hadn’t been wrong; it didn’t sound like Dethklok. But the music had been anything but bad. It was almost otherworldly with how technically perfect and complex it had been and Charles, one hand already reaching out to dial the label and give them the bad news that the album would be late, carefully saved the songs to his private files to appreciate later.
X-Men or rather Hank and Bobby
4)“Ahem.” Iceman cleared his throat and tried to smile reassuringly as Jubilee stared wide-eyed at him. “If I might cite our missing and VERY much-needed friend, ‘OH MY STARS AND GARTERS.’ What the hell are we supposed to do with a pregnant alien dolphin lady-thing who wants to give birth on our doorstep?”
“I dunno, dude,” Jubilee’s gum snapped audibly and she whipped out her bedazzled cell phone, “but we need some help. I’m calling Blue.”
“Good idea,” Iceman took a deep breath and knelt by the being’s head and reminded himself not to panic. Hank had always been able to talk him through anything.
5)“Worst?” Bobby’s brow furrowed as he thought about it. “I always thought that control suit Havoc wore, or at least that helmet, was pretty ridiculous.”
“Indubitably, my frozen friend.” Hank nodded in agreement. “I do not have fond memories of our leather days either.”
“Yeah, I’m surprised you didn’t have heat stroke wearing all that crap.”
“Indeed.” Hank grinned, tips of canines visible in his smile, and reached out to carefully and sneakily hook one clawed finger in the back waistband of Bobby’s uniform trunks. The resulting snap against his skin made Bobby twitch in surprise and he iced up, wiggling frozen fingers in a threat of particularly chilly retaliation. Hank raised two massive blue hands in surrender.
“Besides, Robert, as the master said: Beauty of style and harmony and grace and good rhythm depends on simplicity.”
“Tim Gunn?”
“Plato.”
6)It was newbie day at Xaviers and the kids were being taken on a guided tour by Jean. Bobby, lounging in front of the television to catch the marathon of Scoobie Doo episodes on Boomerang, had waved languidly as they shuffled through. He’d learn their names and their powers soon enough, having been charged with teaching algebra this semester as well as being one of the overseers for Danger Room sessions, but he had a full day of couch potatoing ahead of him at the moment. Until the screaming.
He was iced and halfway down the hall in seconds, converging with the rest of the team upon what he soon realized was the lab. He drew up short, waiting as the rest headed around the corner and then turned back shaking their heads. The apologies were embarrassed and flustered, now that he could hear them, and Hank’s gentle replies. Quickly the tour moved on and Bobby nodded reassuringly at Jean as she led the unsettled students past. It was time, he decided, for a certain scientist to stop lurking in the lab and join him on the sofa.
Kamen Rider OOO
7)“What’s this?” Eiji asked as he studied the packet of money.
“Your pay.” Chiyoko smiled at his confusion and patted him gently on the head. The decision to do the Alice cosplay had been a good one. Eiji was adorable in his bunny ears and vest.
“But you already let us stay here and you feed us, Shiraishi-san.”
“It’s for the overtime.” Poor Dr. Maki. The man was troubled and it was no surprise that his Yummi had come after her. Thankfully Eiji had been there to protect her.
“But…”
“Don’t worry Eiji-kun. You and Ankh-chan have more than earned it.”
8)Gotou watched as the latest candroid processed the last of the cell medals Birth had acquired. A good haul but not enough. The president had been none-too-subtle in his comments yesterday and not for the first time Gotou wished there was more he could do. Poor Eiji was still trying to deal with the purple cores that had entered him, Dr. Maki had vanished to who knew where, Hina-chan was worried about everyone, and even Ankh, as if he needed more proof of the trouble they were all in, had stopped being such a jerk. He just HAD to crack the encryption, find out what Kougami was planning.
Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger
9)They were watching again. She could feel their attention even as each made an effort to appear completely indifferent. Ahim smiled. That was alright. It was a good feeling, the weight of their concerns, and it was only because they cared. And she would keep up her training, watched or not, because she wanted to take care of them, too.
One Piece
10)Clouds of steam blanketed the room in moisture and heat. It felt heavenly against her aching skin and Nami turned to smile her gratitude at the princess by her side. The vision that presented itself made her sigh, reach out a hand unconsciously. Vivi, long hair finally free from its ponytail, had her head thrown back and the towel wrapped around her torso threatened to slip free. “Wash your back?” the navigator offered, unable to resist touching one last time even though she’d promised herself to remember that Vivi wasn’t hers once they had the princess safely back in her palace.
11)Not for the first time Shanks wished he had a fleet rather than his lone ship. It would have meant a drastic change to all of his well-laid plans and dreams but at the moment he felt it would be worth it. The island had formerly been under Whitebeard’s protection and had suffered, as had so many others, from the war. He couldn’t take back all of them, couldn’t spare the men and the time to offer his mark in return, but at least this one could be freed.
12)The edges of his temper frayed, snapped, and he lashed out. His foot was blocked by steel, proving once and for all that the eye thing hadn’t lessened Zoro’s awareness, not that he cared. “Shitty marimo! It’s not a caterpillar. It’s a mustache. A mustache!”

Date: 2011-05-12 12:47 am (UTC)I totally forgot how much I loved Beast from watching the X-Men cartoon when I was little. He was always so sweet and intelligent and I just wanted to cuddle him like a giant Teddy bear. And in reading these drabbles, I still do. <3
I haven't watched any of this new sentai goodness you are into. Can it be found streaming or must it be downloaded to watch? :3
Ooooohhhh I need to catch up on One Piece sooooo bad. I've seen everyone's updated designs, and I kinda dig'em. But ughnnn I need to catch uuuup! And I miss Vivi. I hope she and her county are doing well.
no subject
Date: 2011-05-12 01:05 pm (UTC)Beast is a sweetheart. And my favorite character so...yeah. But I've not written X-fic before so I'm freaking out. Gotta write 3k words for this lady...*tries not to tear out hair*
Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger (which is a blatant rip-off of One Piece as well as it's own entity) can be found streaming raw in a couple of places and the first episode is subbed on Veoh. But we've been downloading via tvnippon. Which is also where we get Kamen Rider OOO (this show is on utter crack), but you can watch it at http://www.watchkamenriderooo.cz.cc/ supposedly.
CATCH UP, OMG. So much shizz has gone down. How far back are you?

Date: 2011-05-14 12:20 pm (UTC)Mmmn, Nami and Vivi, you make them so lovely together, just like they are in my head. And I think *no one* gets/writes Shanks as well as you. But Zoro kicking Sanji in the face because Sanji's mustache looks like a caterpillar? Oh my god, *priceless*. *loves*
I've had a really bad couple of weeks physically, and these gave me a much needed smile. But then, your writing always does, so, thank you.

Date: 2011-05-20 01:58 am (UTC)I'm sorry you've been having a rough time of it atm, but I'm glad I could help make you smile! BTW, you are on my agenda for June, once my owed fics are out of the way. Be prepared for lots of random commentary on your fics going back, oh at least six months because I think I'm sadly that far behind. Are you watching the new Young Justice cartoon at all?
no subject
Date: 2011-05-20 01:10 pm (UTC)Seriously, only read if you really want to, and only comment if you feel like it. It'd be no fun otherwise! XD
new YJ: I tried it and failed to love it on all counts. It's just... not my YJ at all, it's kind of a new version of TTs. And that pisses me off. YJ belongs to Tim, Bart, Cassie, Kon and Cissie, and they could have done us the damned courtesy of giving us our team. Uh, I may still be a little pissed about that. *laughs*
I also really dislike Robin's characterization. It's like the took the most annoying traits from all of them and threw it up on screen. Ugh.
Also, re Gotham Knights (DCAU): you might give it a chance. There are some really great episodes. I don't like it as much as the original BTAS (I kind of hate the character redesigns), but it's still a great show.
