I stole this idea from another rp board I visit sometimes. How to play: -A user posts a prompt idea/situation for the user below to write about. Each post is stand-alone as if each post is it's own short story. -After replying to the prompt of the user above, write a prompt for the next user. -You may not use your own prompt -You may not double post -You may only feature one main rp character of yours per post. EXAMPLE User above posted: Prompt - Regrets I reply: Character: Jimmy - hollinesskiss.deviantart.com/art/PNP-jim-65247499Jiminy sighed, slipping out of the house for a walk. At midnight, so what? It was cool, a lot better than taking a walk in the middle of the day. Not much happened at night, and it was easier to focus on his thoughts. Lately, that night had plagued his mind. When he lost his humanity and became one of the things so cliche'd in RP's.. a vampire. There were so many what-if's coming into his mind. What if he hadn't taken that job at the coffee shop? What if he hadn't stayed late to clean up? What if he hadn't let that lady in? What if he actually fought back? And then... what if he stayed human? How would his life have changed... He'd gotten some great things out of his life, but that cliche vampire-hunger always tugged at him. He tried to deny it and push it away, but the longer he went without, the more it seemed to tease him. Sure, he'd be an old fart now if he lived his life human, but he wouldn't be dealing with this near-torment his whole life.. ...EMO EMO EMO Prompt for the user below me - Day at the park

Lol that sounds fun. Let's do this thing.
User above posted Prompt - A Day at the Park
Character - Misha
Misha swung her legs innocently as she glanced around the small, serene park. Trees littered the forest floor, and the stone pathway twisted and curved all the way across the span of the area. A few benches were splattered here and there, all precisely placed so the sitter could see everything that went on. Adjusting her belt, Misha smiled gently as a group of small children sprinted by, calling to each other in pure fun. One little girl in particular ran at the very rear of the group, careful not to get lost, but not including herself in the gameplay of the other children. The little girl, her blue eyes empty with sadness, watched the excitement from afar: next to gheexact park bench Misha sat on. "Excuse me," Misha called out to the child. The girl seemed to jump, but turned to Misha, the person she didn't know very well, or even knew existed. "Can I ask you a question?" The girl nodded quickly. "Why do you stay behind the others? Why not join them?" The girl stared at the ground. "Because no one wants to play with me," she replied. She pulled down on her pale pink skirt. "They don't want to have to wait for me." Misha smiled sadly. "Then don't follow them. Go have fun by getting a few friends to join your own group." "But I don't HAVE any friends..." Misha reached into her pocket and pulled out a small locket, handing it to the girl. Inside, was a picture of two girls, one with long, shiny black hair, and the other had short brown hair. They were smiling. "If you don't have any, then make one."
Brrr~n!

Prompt - "I never thought I'd do that..." Character - Gwyn (go look at my charries thread) Well. Gwyn was a human now. For a while. Thanks to Skye's stupid idea and her potion... though the day so far was enjoyable enough, spending time with Epona. Who he didn't like at all. Nope. Not a bit. Gwyn sighed a little, walking home in the utter darkness. Once in a while there was a streetlamp to luminate his steel-blue hair, but otherwise..nothing. Even the moon seemed to be doing a failure job. Gwyn sighed. It was so weird not having his horse-body. Being a human was... short. Short and stubby, that's how he felt. He just wanted to have a nice evening run right now to let off some stress. Well, humans could run too, right? Stopping in the darkness to take a deep breath, he stomped his new human-feet. Right... well, here goes nothing. Gwyn shot off at a sprint down the street, feeling like his legs were simply flailing underneath him. But, it was a decent speed. And it felt alright after a while. Hey... not so bad, actuall- BWAMPH. Gwyn tripped over a tree root and fell on his face. "UH!" He kinda grunted. Pulling himself to a sitting position, he checked his leg that burned in pain. Probably broken.. Wait... NO? Slowly using the tree close to him, he stood up. His knee was a bit bloody, but... ohmygod! Not broken!! Maybe these human legs weren't so bad. If he'd have been his usual centaur self, there definitely would have been a broken leg in there somewhere... Limping like a pansy the rest of the way home, he hoped no one was awake when he got there. If he did... there'd be some splainin to do :<. Prompt: Under the stars

Prompt - Under the Stars
Character - A. Nubis (will refer to this charrie as 'A.' in the paragraphs)
'A.' sighed and rolled about on the bed. It was always TOO hot on one side, too COLD on the other. What happened to the 'just right' spot in the middle? Beds were stupid anyway. You couldn't EVER get properly comfortable in them. Those adverts 'A.' had seen on TV about finding 'The Perfect Bed for You!' was a load of bull. Stuffing the duvet back into the duvet-case was annoying too. You always ended up with lumps and that was uncomfortable.
After a few more minutes of tossing and turning, 'A.' sighed and gave up, slipping aching feet into the sandals by the bed before trotting out onto the stone balcony with its high wall. The dog-like mask on 'A.'s face suddenly felt suffocating out in the open night air, and it was not long before it was tossed onto the little table and chairs on the balcony. 'A.'s dark brown hair whipped a bit in the wind. Why did someone need a bed, or sheets for that matter? It would be far better to sleep outside, like the ancestors of old has done. Sure, 'A.' was on a balcony, but the ground below was sort of icky...plus, no sheets were going to be slept on out here so 'A.' wasn't REALLY breaking the rules, right...? Hang on, what rules? 'A.' had set personal rules for SLEEPING now?
'A.' soon lay down and circled on the floor like a dog, before lying down in a curled-up position like a dog. The tail that protruded from the small of 'A.'s back served as some sort of blanket, and 'A.'s arms served as pillows.
Sleeping out underneath teh stars.....kinda. Who could ask for more?

=w= Now that I look at it, that prompt WAS stupid... -stabs self repeatedly- D<
Prompt - Things That Go Bump In The Night Character - Serius (my little nerd)
Serius whipped around. There was nothing behind him, but he could have sworn he heard something. It was the slightest sound ever, but he could hear it as clear as if it was a piano dropping from a twelve story building.
Rubbing his wrists, Serius walked on cautiously, keeping his ears open to any sounds. A few owls, a couple of crows, but nothing out of the ordinary.
SNAP.
Serius froze. He felt too afraid to turn around, but he couldn't run-- his feet seemed to be glued to the ground.
Footsteps rang out, filling him with dread. If it was either one of his friends, they wouldn't be completely silent like this. They would have called to him; reassured him. He felt scared enough to turn around. That was a bad idea.
A person-- no, monster-- limped towards him, beginning to moan and wail. The stench of its rotted flesh was carried over to Serius and made him gag; the smell was so disgusting.
Serius, his heart welling with fright, turned on his heel and sprinted off towards the edge of the forest, where a small town was located. He would be safe there... If he could make it.
Panting, the Mage weaver his way through the trees, not daring to look back. Most likely, you would have been scared out of your wits as well as he. Wouldn't you have just kept sprining?
Finally, Serius gained the courage to look behind him. There was no sight of the... zombie between the trees.
Brushing his hand through his hair, Serius laughed timidly. "I'm such an idiot. I was probably hallucinating. There haven't been any zombies around for centuries." He continued walking, now being able to see lights from the town. Finally, the edge of the forest appeared to him, and he breathed a heavy sigh.
Serius adjusted his circular glasses and started on down the path, but he stopped suddenly. He felt a bony hand on his left shoulder, gripping it tightly. An eerie moan.
Uh-oh.
Serius turned, realizing in horror that the same zombie from earlier was now gripping his shoulder. The smell, though worse than before, was shoved aside by sheer terror.
The zombie groaned, and as if on cue, more zombies seemed to rise up from the forest floor, all gathering around the first.
It dug its... "nails" into Serius' shoulder and pulled him backwards, towards the mass.
"No... NO... Auuugh!"
..HO CRAP. I am good at this horror stuff. But... What is it with me and zombies? -guffaws because torturing nerdy characters is fun-
