OP Chaos Thread: all comers welcome!
Just reply to a prompt, and leave your own for someone else. No pairing or length requirements, here, but there's a Zosopp one in that com, too. (which is now live... ;)
Just two rules (at present) - post the prompt you're replying to in your subject line, and be polite: if it needs a warning or has a rating higher than, say PG-13, have a warning at the top of your post. ;) People like to know what they're getting into, after all.
Title: Too Stubborn to Die
Rating: PG
Pairing: Pretty Gen
Word Count: 455
Notes: x-over with Discworld… kinda.
(Ya, thank my husband for this crack. He likes go give me random ideas and see what comes out. Never comes out the way planned, but that’s half the fun.)
A dark, imposing figure suddenly loomed over the injured man, studying the impressive wounds on his chest. Zoro tensed for a moment, before he recognized the company, and leaned back again.
“Oh… it’s you…”
YES. IT IS ME.
“Chopper…" The swordsman panted slightly, pacing himself and trying to speak around what he was pretty sure was a quickly filling lung. "..on his way?”
I BELIEVE SO.
“Huh… He’ll be... pissed.”
YES. WELL, YOU DID WELL TO MISS THE HEART.
Zoro chuckled, ending up in a wet, hacking cough that took a few long moments to stop.
“So… How’s the… family?”
Brilliant blue dimmed a moment in thought, then focused on the dying man once more.
SUSAN IS DOING… WELL.
“Still… avoiding you… or has she… gotten over… it yet?”
SHE IS SOMEWHAT MORE REASONABLE, LATELY. SHE MAY HAVE ALLUDED TO VISITING.
“That’s… good. Family… is… important.”
“Zoro!” A familiar panicked voice called from an intersecting street. “Oh my god, Zoro! Chopper, he’s over here!”
“Ah… that would be us… then…”
MOST LIKELY.
“Guess… I’ll see you… again sometime… soon, then…”
INDEED.
“Well… take care of… yourself…”
I DO NOT NEED… OH. YES. YOU AS WELL.
Zoro smiled at the general area he thought the form still was. It was hard to tell with his vision fading, but he was pretty sure he’s wake up again, so he wasn’t that worried about it.
OH. YOU MAY WANT TO BE CAREFUL FOR A TIME. CERTAIN FORCES MAY BE ‘OUT TO GET YOU’.
“Oh? Would… I notice… a difference?”
PERHAPS NOT.
The swordsman made a sound of acknowledgement, and let it rest. After a moment the other continued, somewhat reflectively.
I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY. THERE IS NOTHING SPECIAL ABOUT YOUR CIRCUMSTANCE, YOU ARE SIMPLY AMAZINGLY STUBBORN.
“Ah… Sorry… about that…?”
NO, IT IS FINE. IT IS NICE TO VISIT WITHOUT HAVING TO CONDUCT BUSINESS NOW AND THEN.
Shortly thereafter, Chopper would wonder why he found Zoro - who could barely breathe and clinging to consciousness - laughing his head off.
-Elsewhere-
I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THE AUDITORS HAVE TAKEN AN INTEREST.
Bony fingers turned the hourglass again, watching the grains flow against gravity. The glass, marked RORONOA ZORO had been down to the last few grains more than once, before the sand stopped, reversed its flow, and refilled a portion if the upper bulb. He would have expected them to have more of a problem with the owner of the hourglass that had simply stopped.
He replaced it on the shelf, then after a pause, picked it up again- then turned it, and replaced it again. His hand hovered for a moment.
HMM. I APPEAR TO HAVE MISPLACED THE TOP... ALBERT, DO YOU REMEMBER WHICH END IS ‘UP’?
