Tisdag: Lets Get Lovecrafty!

[ravenspear.livejournal.com]

Hello again! This is ravenspear, back for another day of thrilling heroics guest hosting.

On this beautiful Tuesday, we're going to take a walk on the sanity-rending side. That's right, today's theme is Lovecraft! And don't worry, fandoms aren't limited to only H.P. Lovecraft's works, but prompts today have to have a decidedly Lovecraftian flair; dark gods, eldritch horrors, abominations from beyond space and time, and Things That Should Not Be. 

As usual, you have to follow the rules:
♥ No more than five "live" prompts at any time. If someone fills a prompt of yours, you may then prompt again.
♥ No more than three prompts from one fandom at a time.
♥ No spoilers in your prompt until at least one week after the original airing/publication date. If there are spoilers in your fic, warn in bold and leave at least three spaces.


And remember to honor our codemonkey overlords with proper prompt formatting:

Fandom; Character prompt
Fandom; Character/Character; prompt
Fandom/Fandom; Character(s)/Pairing(s); prompt

If you don't find any of the day's prompts to your liking, feel free to head on over to the Lonely Prompts Archive and make someone's day!

The Call of Doofhlu (Phineas and Ferb)

[radondoran.livejournal.com]

"Ah, Perry the Platypus," said Dr. Doofenshmirtz from the shadows of his unusually darkened loft-apartment-slash-evil-lair. "How unpredictable. And by unpredictable, I mean"--electronic arms shot out from the walls and grabbed Perry by every limb--"completely predictable!"

He did not flip on the lights, but emerged from the shadows to pace in front of his captured nemesis and deliver his evil monologue. Maybe it was only the lighting, but it seemed to Perry that he looked paler and the bags under his eyes darker than usual. The eyes themselves had an unsettling crazed look about them, too--but after all, perhaps that was just Doofenshmirtz.

"This will be my most evil scheme yet. You see, Perry the Platypus," he said, in his most menacing tones, "yesterday afternoon I took a little trip to the downtown branch of the Jefferson County Public Library!"

Perry blinked.

"All right, I know, that's not very evil. Hold your horses, I'm getting there. Sheesh! Anyway. While I was there, I decided to look up 'evil' in the card catalog. Did you know they still have a card catalog? And I found this really neat old book--check it out."

He went over to his desk and held up an ancient, weighty leather-bound volume with metal clasps. The effect was dulled by the decidedly modern stickers bearing the call number and bar code, but Perry's blood ran cold nonetheless. It couldn't be--

"It's called the 'Necro-no-MY-con', I think," Doofenshmirtz rambled on, "and it's totally evil! I was up all night reading it. Of course, it's all in Latin, and my Latin is a little fuzzy, and even when you understand it it's all pretty confusing." He rubbed his forehead self-consciously. "It kind of makes my head spin, woooo! But in a good way. I mean, good as in pleasurable. Not good as in good, obviously, because it's a very evil book. I found it in the card catalog under the subject heading Evil. Am I overexplaining this?"

Perry only stared at the hellish volume. He had learned about such threats in his O.W.C.A. training--this was true evil, the kind of evil you really had to watch out for.

"You're good? Okay. Anyway, Perry the Platypus, I found something really interesting in here. Apparently there used to be these beings called the Old Ones, and this book has what I'm pretty sure are instructions for bringing them back. I'm not really a hundred percent sure what they're like, but they seem, you know, evil. I figure I bring one back, it does my bidding, and together we take over the entire Tri-State Area! What do you think, Perry the Platypus? Pret-ty evil, huh?"

Perry strained to escape from his bonds. Doofenshmirtz was right; this would be his most evil scheme yet--the trouble was, he didn't understand just what that meant.

I love this, and I don't know Phineas and Ferb at all. But it's just so joyfully Evil! >:-D Mwahahaha!

:D Thank you! If you like that, you should totally watch Phineas and Ferb--Doof is nothing if not joyfully evil.

I could *so* see this happening! And Doof (and everyone else) is in one heck of a lot of trouble if Perry doesn't stop him...

(If you couldn't tell, I loved this. Great job!)
