Well, if I'm going to be the coordinator, I guess I can coordinate an invitation for Labster to come back and write with us again.
How about it, Labster?
Speaking of writing... Another scenelet for the Halloween Party thread.
"Have you seen some of the stories that people here have written about us?"
"Donaldson-san doesn't like it when we go looking for such things," replied Kuroko as she shook her head.
"Not that sort of story." Tessa frowned. "Well, I suppose that sort of story as well," she continued, "but that wasn't what I meant. Apparently, some of us have much more adventurous lives in this 'fan fiction' than we do back in our home worlds."
"Did somebody say 'fan fiction'?" Yomi joined the conversation instead of heading back to her apartment-mates and friends. Putting a plate of chili rellenos down on a nearby table (seeing whether she could get Osaka to try one would have to wait) she continued, "What's with some of those? I can understand the ones where one of us falls in love with somebody she just met -"
"You can?" While her tone was polite, Kuroko's expression was clear; she didn't believe a word of it.
"It's wish fulfillment. Who wouldn't want one of us as a girlfriend?"
And Kuroko was enlightened. "Ah. Of course. Please continue."
"The ones I can't understand are where we get into adventures of some sort."
"For some of us, it's understandable," Tessa interjected.
"If you're in charge of a mercenary unit, or you're a powerful esper, sure, it's understandable. But I'm talking about stories where somebody like me or Tomo ends up saving everybody's lives while causing millions of yen of property damage -" (Halfway across the quad, Brent sneezed.) "- or somebody like the Sailor Senshi get into fights with some super-martial artists -" (At poolside, Rob sneezed.) "- or somebody puts together a harem that's also a strike force." (Near the buffet, Ben sneezed.) "Who'd even write things like that? And why is everybody suddenly sneezing?"
They all realized who just sneezed. They looked at each other for a moment.
"No, they couldn't have."
