[11_reasons] Prompts 1-11
Prompt 01 - Hair:
Her hairdo might be ridiculous, but she spent two hours getting it just right. And she'd do it again.
Prompt 02 - Skin / Sense of Touch:
The marble floor is unpleasantly cold underneath her bare feet when Danica shoves aside the sheets and rises for the evening. As an afterthough, she drapes a silk robe lazily around herself and effects a delicate grimace as she steps daintily over the pool of congealed blood that has formed around the previous evening's plaything.
Marble may be cold to the touch, she thinks, but it's so much easier to have cleaned up.
Prompt 03 - Cheeriness / Energetic:
She was practically skipping as she made her way into the boardroom and greeted her brother with a pert smile and a chirpy "Good evening!" that had an audible exclaimation point. If he hadn't been on the other side of the conference table, he might have been in danger of being hugged.
Asher eyed her cheerful mood suspiciously. "Who did you kill?"
Danica just grinned.
Prompt 04 - Kinky / Mischevious:
Danica had been craving something sweet, so she went looking for the most attractive familiar she could find in the house and ordered him to her bedroom for a little pre-dinner entertainment. There's nothing like a surge of adrenaline to flavor the blood.
Prompt 05 - Clothes:
If she drapes it just right, the tail of her fox-fur shrug is right where it needs to be so she can pull it through the hole where the animal's eye used to be. Perfect.
Prompt 06 - Room / Location:
The little observation room above the holding cell where they keep the humans who will be the day's meal, a macabre sort of surgical gallery, is Danica's favorite thinking spot. Nothing soothes the soul like the pathetic whimpering of the doomed.
Prompt 07 - Pride / Vanity:
Pride cometh before the fall -- Danica was sure these thoughts were crossing her team's mind as she slipped and stumbled her way down the steps to the tomb that maybe held the ancient vampire king she'd decided they ought to awaken because it was Friday night and there was nothing on T.V. (She honestly had better reasons than that, but it really was Friday, and there really was nothing on T.V.)
Prompt 08 - Lust:
The miniscule designer handbag in the window of the shop elicited a lusty sigh from the small vampiress. Asher heaved his own sigh and followed his sister into the store, hoping against odds that they had the one she wanted in stock; the authorities were still looking for the perpetrator who'd snapped the Gucci saleswoman's neck two months ago...
Prompt 09 - Frown / Pout:
Danica's lips turned downward in the most petulant extression one could imagine. Her meal for the evening had called her a filthy, psychotic bitch; she had impeccable hygiene, how dare he?
Prompt 10 - Fall / Fly:
Danica had never tested the old myth about vampires being able to turn into bats and fly around, and her brother, who had the common sense she generally seemed to lack, suggested that she come down off the roof of the barn and not try.
Wildcard Prompt 11 - Coffee Break:
"Deep... full-bodied, with a complex flavor... bold and unanticipated," Danica said, her voice silky in the manner of a commercial voice-over.
Asher regretted the curiosity that had led him to inquire about what his own blood had tasted like when she turned him.
