Tuesday: Texts From Last Night

[morlockiness.livejournal.com]

Happy Tuesday, everyone. morlockiness back for another day of prompting and writing.

Today's theme is Texts From Last Night. Fret not, for the prompts don't have to be taken from that site (they can be texts of your own creation, a scenario where a text would be appropriate, etc), but wouldn't it be more fun if they were? Plenty of opportunity for allowing our favorite characters to party, toke up, complete a walk of shame, and let their friends know in a succinct message.

As always, keep the rules in mind:
+ No more than 5 prompts in a row, and no more than 3 prompts per fandom. If someone answers a prompt, you can prompt again.
+No spoilers in your prompts for at least 1 week after original air/publication date. If there are spoilers in your story, please warn in bold and leave at least 3 spaces.
+For the sake of your monkeys, please format your prompts correctly. For example:

Skins, Sid/Tony, "easter eggs filled with ecstasy. it's what jesus would do."

Crossovers:

Heroes/Star Trek XI, Claire/McCoy, "It's a shame that I don't know his last name. Actually, it's an ever bigger shame that I don't know his first name"

"Information Exchange"

Written by matrixrefugee

MURAKI: Seeing you on the street just now was quite a welcome sight, Mr. Tsuzuki.
TSUZUKI: what? are you stalking me again?
M: Merely doing a little shopping. Sighting you from across the street came as a complete surprise
T: Why do I not believe you?.
M: I was wondering if you wouldn't mind joining me at a cafe for a cup of tea.
M: There's one I have in mind which has a red velvet cake that's to die for.
M: I could send you the address.
T: I can't, I'm busy. I've been walking around Tokyo on google maps for an hour.
M: Such a change. You sound as if you're trying to blow me off.
T: Cut the crap, Muraki. I'm on a case.
M: Oh? Would it break some protocol of the Ministry of Hades if I asked what this case involved?
M: Perhaps I could offer you some information: I do have my ear to the pavement here.
T: Oh yeah? Don't think I'm going to fall for that. I know the fees you charge.
T: Don't think I forgot about that poker game on the Queen Camellia.
M: The only fee I'd ask would be if you joined me for that cup of tea. Nothing more.
M: There has been trouble with an incubus lately, and I wondered if the Ministry had taken note
T: Don't tell me you've been snooping around in our case files.
M: I have many connections, but none that far.
M: I've treated some of the victims who'd barely survived the attack.
T: All right. Send me the damn address.
M: With pleasure, Mr. Tsuzuki

:: Smiles:: I guess it's a proof of how good it turned out, if someone who's not familiar with the fandom enjoyed it! I have to admit, this story pretty much popped out my head whole the moment I read that prompt.

In a nutshell, YnM (or "Descendants of Darkness") is a kind of supernatural detective anime/manga series, dealing with the adventures of Asato Tsuzuki, a klutzy but well-meaning shinigami or "guardian of death" employed by the Ministry of Hades, the largest bureau in the afterlife, whose job is to help the souls of the dead cross over into the afterlife -- and in some cases, track down the supernatural beasties responsible for their deaths. His chief nemesis -- and object of desire -- is the silver-tongued and silver-eyed serial killer Kazutaka Muraki, an energy vampire of some kind who has a most unholy interest in Tsuzuki (That's them in the icon: Muraki is the leering fellow in the left, while that's Tsuzuki cowering on the right).
