I HAVE TO PACK!

however, while I'm doing that, I'd like to keep my poor lonesome livejournal busy with a game of Drabble Scrabble, as inspired by elizile

how it works is this:

I: am going to list 10 words, all quite at random.

you (anyone who wishes to; more than one person can respond to any given set): are going to reply with a comment that is a drabble that incorporates at least 2 of the random words. any fandom, any pairing. or no pairing. or no fandom. heck, it doesn't even have to be a drabble; if you can use all 5-10 words in a single sentence, or if you can come up with a 2,000+-word story about these words, more power to you, and I will be rightly impressed. other options: a plot set-up, a haiku, a song, a limerick, a monologue, a random smattering of brainstorming phrases, pretty much anything else that strikes your fancy.

at the end of the comment, re-post the 10-word list, replacing the words that you used with words of your own choosing. players may then reply to your comment, following the same directions as delineated above.

most importantly, have fun! :D

words:
folklore, pharmacy, cheesecake, matador, strenuous, ill-advised, balance, llama, ladybug, pygmy

aaand... GO!

Tricksters
Original Universe

It is often ill-advised to deal with a trickster deity for beings such as they are not often trusted by people. Folklore often tells of these gods being both hero and villain. They seem to be on the surface evil, but many of their deeds end up doing more good than harm. But many still remember to be wary of these capricious beings.

However, Benjamin Harris had little choice in the matter when it came to his trickster patron for the god caused much havoc in his life, especially when Benjamin forgot his cheesecake offering.

The Exotic Matador
(no fandom)

There once was an exotic matador
Who wasn't so much of a toreador
As a fighter of llamas --
His lance, a banana --
And his worst foe a pygmy alligator.

words: pharmacy, double, strenuous, coffee, probability, salute, haze, nocturnal, marigold, avocado

I hope you don't mind me doing it again.

The Dark Lord
Harry Potter

Lord Voldemort was a fairly nocturnal creature who would spend most of his nights plotting and his days sleeping. Whenever the sun dawned on the world he would curse and look at his half-empty coffee pot, pondering the probability that the rest of his coffee would keep him awake long enough to finish reading the endless reports from his Death Eaters.

Of course, this morning he was seeing doubles of things and since no one liked dealing with him when he was more cranky than usual, he decided, like any good Dark Lord, to go to bed.

The all-night pharmacy didn't sell rum - a fact the self-styled Captain Jack Sparrow objected to, loudly and at length, long after they'd departed. At least, James consoled himself, it had sold asprin; coping with Sparrow at this hour was even more strenuous than coping with Sparrow at normanl hours, and he needed it. Dragging his recalcitrant room-mate after him by a handful of his mostly-hair, James thought wistful thoughts about coffee, and let the words flow over him like a particularly eccentric river.
