I put this together for the second AC3 fanfic panel, as an example of how writing style affects the story. I doubt I'll ever do anything with it, so...
It was raining in the city by the river. A hard rain; the kind that makes you wish you could afford to buy another bottle and crawl into a hole with it. The best I could do was stay in my office. That's the one with the sign that reads "Philip Nakajima, Private Detective" on the door. It wasn't like I had anywhere else to go that day.
I was trying to figure out where I was going to get the money to pay next month's rent when she walked in the door. A vision of loveliness, with a smile that lit up the room, legs that went all the way up and a skirt that didn't make much of the return trip, and a magic wand with a crescent moon on the top.
My ulcer and my wallet argued over whether I needed the headaches of a magical girl client. My wallet won.
"Hello," I said, looking her straight in the face. "What can I do for you?"
"Mr. Nakajina," she answered in a breathless voice which was probably breathless because the elevator went the way of the dodo two days ago, "they call me Sailor Moon. I need help to find the other Senshi, and a friend said you could help me. Please, Mr. Nakajima, I don't know where else to go..."
