Challenge #00796-B065: These Humans Are Crazy

An aliens reaction to the punch buggy game

“Punch buggy white!”

“Hey! One, that is clearly blue, and two - we’re in a freaking car museum. Knock it off.”

“Where’s your sense of humour?”

Janice gritted her teeth. “We’re in front of ambassadors,” she grated. “You’re embarrassing your entire species.”

Meanwhile, Ambassador Vrex was taking notes. Humans are instinctually violent. Even their games and jokes rely heavily on aggressive physical contact.

[AN: GAH I got major-league sidetracked today. Mia culpa.]

[Muse food remaining: 15. Submit a prompt! Ask a question! Buy my stories!]

“I’ll show you all! I’ll summon a monster from ages past to destroy you all! Destroy you all! Destroy you all! Destroy you all!”

“Uh…” said Dipper. “Was it necessary

Challenge #00794-B063: The Arboretum of Death

Bunya Pines. That is all.

[AN: SO very tempted to add a distant relative to Gravity Falls…]

People came from all over to see the deadly plants. They did not come to experience personal encounters with them. Just to see, and goggle in amazement that they existed at all.

Of course, it was no shock to many that the majority of these deadly plants came from Earth

Most of the protected walkways were surrounded on all sides by the best of

“Wait. Wait. I need to understand this.”

Shayde sighed. It wasn’t the first time she’d had to explain it in depth. “Go on.”

“Your people took seven goes to find a planet.”

“Yeh, the thing aboot space is… it’s big. There’s loads o’ stuff in it ye ken…”

Republican Secret Congress, the not-too-distant future…

“Okay, so the Thin Man is gone, and so is President Gunther. The question now is, how do we reverse the damage to America?”

“What the Heck are they doing?”

This is a line from a Very old Movie called The Boatnicks„ See what you can do with it, not necessarily to do with boats, could be anything us humans think of as fun.

3. “Once you open a can of worms, it takes two cans to get them back.” have fun.

Still in South Park

Kurt and Todd, still in South Park. The “184th” line has pretty much become their soundtrack. Todd is rolling with the weirdness, but Kurt is nearing a breakdown (shot at by Jimbo and Ned, witnessing Kenny die multiple times, constantly stalked by geneticist Dr, Mephisto). They’re walking down the street discussing this, when they see Jesus and Satan at a cafe having coffee. Cue freak-out.

“…so hungry…”

“Yo, hungry’s your default

AMiP again. Francoeur vs. a laser pointer.

(#00786 - B055)

After their strange friends from a different future left, Raoul found a tiny trinket in one of their bunks. It looked like a cylinder… and it had a button, but beyond that, there was no clue of how it worked or what it was.

So, naturally, he pressed the button.

There was no hum. No whirr. No noise of anything mechanical going on, and no hint of what it was supposed to do. Raoul jiggled it. Pressed it against

Prompt: SPG and A Monster In Paris. The band comes to visit the best cabaret in Paris and see the famous Masked Musician...

(#00785 - B054)

[AN: I already have a much longer one in progress here, so I’ll pretend it doesn’t exist in my continuity just for you. (Seriously, keeping a continuity is vastly important to me and registers on my OCD) You’re welcome]

1912

There was a small dirigible docked with the Eiffel Tower, which some Parisians still called “the tragic coat hanger”. But even they had to admit that it did come in handy as a dock for dirigibles,

Challenge #00784 - B053: Water Worship

The first thing the humans of Amity made when they reached the beach was the pipeline. The second thing they made was surfboards.

From the Journals of T'reka the Inquisitive:

Play is seemingly an important to these dangerous creatures as work is. I have personally witnessed their emergence onto the beachfront with a mixture of trepidation and fascination.

Their work was to build the pipeline previously mentioned. Their play… immediately followed. Some brought colourful discs with them for what I posit

Challenge #00783 - B052: No Cause for Alarm...

When someone who’s covered with blood and carrying a knife asks me politely, I’ll usually say “yes”

[TW: Blood, murder, implied abuse.]

I found her on the highway. She was wearing what had once been a pink, teddy-bear nightie, but was now a rich, blood red and soaking wet. Poor kid looked like she’d bathed in blood. And the big kitchen knife clutched in her white-knuckled hands didn’t do much to help the image.

She was

Someone who worked for Norix and was a Whisperer, at the end of the Standard Year, who really needs that job.
They’re a Queen fan and don’t know why they’re a Whisperer.

“Please… please don’t let me go. I can change the song. I’ve been working on it. I have. I love Under Pressure. I just… don’t… understand… why I keep singing Ice Ice Baby.”

Nor looked

Challenge #00781 - B050: Suddenly Christine

I refuse point blank to touch ‘50 Shades of Grey’ with the proverbial 10 foot pole so. “Mister Grey or whoever he is wakes up in the body of a woman, one who is being manipulated by a scumbag like him. – knitnan

[AN: I’m not into that either. TW: Abuse, blood, pain, suicide, coarse language]

Pain.

His entire body hurt. He swore his hair hurt. Every inch of his skin was a sizzling symphony of agony. Christian Grey tried

Challenge #00779-780 - B048-49: Fame and Glory

(1) “Oh! never try for the top job! Too many want to knock you off. Not even second or third, a comfortable spot somewhere near the top is best. And it’s So interesting watching the carnage. You might even get a book about it.”
(2) “Famous!! You want to be famous, Are you stark raving mad!”

Challenge #00778 - B047: Logic Dictator

A sentence that made me just want to hug the mad genius until they felt better:
Everything I did was logical. One day I’ll understand why that makes me the one who’s nuts.

I think they thought I’d be easy to manipulate. They thought they could feed me the correct facts to sway me. Sadly for them, I saw them for villainous plotters who would all be my puppeteer for two pins. They were quickly exposed for voting
