Zaphod Beeblebrox
Just this guy, you know?


Need some prompts to get a thread going?

1: The last roll - Or fighting over food. You both reached for the last of something at the same time, and now you're making dangerous eye contact
2: Wild West AU - Gunfights at high noon! Tense poker games in saloons! Daring train robberies! It's the Wild West!
3: Stuck together - Stuck in a broken elevator, crammed into the last two seats on the bus, caught in one of those finger traps. You literally can't get away from each other
4: Deep CR - When you've known each other for a while, and it's time to reveal your deepest secrets, startling confessions, and tragic pasts.
5: Sky Diving - You either just jumped out of a plane or are about to. Hope you both brought a parachute.
6: Resort - White sand beaches, blue waters, cool drinks, relaxation. Possibly Bond-esque intrigue? I don't know. It's late and I'm tired.
7: Doomed Last Stand - You're all going to die. Make them speak your name in fearful whispers for centuries.
8: Canon fusion AU - Both canons are crammed together into some kind of horrible abomination. Or just one of you is crammed into the other's canon.
9: Booze - Yer drunk. Go home. You do remember where home is, right?
10: Wild Card - Take your destiny into your own hands. Make your own prompt.

3, Amethyst

Oh for...

[She keeps pressing the button and nothing is happening. Why is nothing happening? She knows it probably won't do any good, but there's only so much a Gem can do right now.

Peridot groans and slumps her shoulders. Why did this ridiculous human conveyance (she'd heard somebody call it an elevator, but that's absurd because it goes up and down) have to break now of all times? Now she's here, in this cramped box, alone, with a Crystal Gem.

You have got to be kidding me.

What'd you do THIS time?

[personal profile] kindergartencop 2015-03-18 03:54 pm (UTC)(link)
I didn't do anything.

[That much is true, at least. She hadn't been doing much aside from existing in the same space as Amethyst, which is already an unmitigated disaster in her mind.]

This has to have been your fault somehow. I know it.

[personal profile] madeinahole 2015-03-18 06:46 pm (UTC)(link)
MY fault? I was just standing here!

[personal profile] kindergartencop 2015-03-18 07:53 pm (UTC)(link)
It's...

[Okay, she can't actually think of anything to back up those claims. Woops. She crouches down and starts feeling around the edge of the panel. Fixing this thing should be child's play for her, and there's no way that they're going to wait for bunch of inefficient human goons to come save them.]

Just help me get this open, will you?

[personal profile] madeinahole 2015-03-18 07:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Fiiiiiine.

[Amethyst tries just pulling the doors open, but they are really stuck.]

Jeez what'd they make this out of?

[personal profile] kindergartencop 2015-03-18 08:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Primarily steel alloy, with trace amounts of carbon and--

[Wait, that was a rhetorical question. Peridot raises a brow.]

Aren't you supposed to be the strong one?

[She might be getting her Gems confused a little.]

[personal profile] madeinahole 2015-03-18 08:28 pm (UTC)(link)
That's Garnet. I'm the funny one.

[Let's try climbing up to the ceiling and looking for a service hatch or something. That always works in movies.]

[personal profile] kindergartencop 2015-03-18 08:39 pm (UTC)(link)
I doubt it.

[It takes her a second to actually notice Amethyst clambering up the walls, but when she does it doesn't get much more than a raised eyebrow.]

What do you think you're doing?

[personal profile] madeinahole 2015-03-18 10:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Looking for a way out, obviously.

[Bang bang bang! This looked easier in Die Hard.]

I think there's a hatch up here, but it's stuck.
