Love and Laughter (1-16-18)


Must have the phrase, "A fish may love a bird, but where would they live." [Link to post.]


"YES!!!" Robin screamed and bounced in place. The late afternoon sunlight caused her red hair to glow like a flame. She hurriedly pulled Posie up from the ground where he knelt. A crowd of strangers around them cheered and clapped, tossing out congratulations. "Of course!" She wrapped her arms around him. Posie returned the hug for a second, then Robin felt him push her away gently. She noticed tears streaming out of his orange eyes.

"I'm so happy you said yes," Posie said. He walked toward a nearby bench, leading her by the hand. They sat and he stared at a knot in the pier. "Now that we've gotten to this point, there's something about me you have to know." He looked up from the ground to meet her eyes. "I won't bring any secrets into our marriage." Robin nodded, and her heart overflowed with love. She needed to reveal her own secret too. She had been afraid he would reject her for it, but she felt now was the time.

"Okay. I have something to tell you too, after," Robin said. She clasped her hands around his. "Go ahead." Posie closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He breathed out.

"You know the tattoo on my back?" Posie asked. Robin nodded, she loved the tattoo. It was a beautiful orange and white koi fish with the number 50 on its scales. "I got it for my 18th birthday. Since then I noticed I had... powers." Posie went quiet when Robin made sound. Her cheeks puffed out and her lips broke into a smile. She was losing a fight to hold in her laughter. "I know it sounds crazy. That's why I asked you here, so I could prove it. I can talk to fish." The damn broke and Robin guffawed at him.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAAAH" Robin doubled over on the bench, holding her stomach.

"Hey." Posie said in a whisper. Tears gathered at the corner of his eyes. Robin grabbed his hand again, still laughing.

"No.hah. Wait,hehe." She took a deep breath. "I believe you." She touched brushed his chin to turn his eyes to her. "I really do believe you, it's just so much funny happened at the same time. I couldn't hold it in. I'm sorry." A look of confusion clouded his orange eyes.

"If you believe me, what's so funny?" She smiled brightly.

"Well, first of all, don't be offended. But talking to fish? I wouldn't call that 'POWER'" She used air quotes while she giggled. "An ability maybe, but it's way too useless to be called a power." She squeezed his hand to reaffirm her love. "Second of all, I believe you, because I can do it too."

"No way? You can talk to fish too?" Posie shrugged. "I believe you, mostly because you know how useless it is." Robin shook her head.

"Sorry, I mean I can talk to animals too. Not fish, but birds. I got it the same way you did too. You know the robin on my butt?" Posie nodded and smiled.

"Yeah it's cute. Wow, that's a hell of a coincidence. I guess we're meant to be together." Posie reached his arm around Robin and pulled her closer to him on the bench, and chuckled. "That is pretty funny though."

"Oh, there was a third of all too!" Robin smiled at him. "Something my dad used to say, and it just made me laugh. 'A fish may love a bird, but where would they live?' " She giggled, and Posie joined in.

"How bout my nest?" he asked with a broad grin.

"Well duh. My apartment is way too small," Robin said, then kissed him on the cheek.

Luck be a Lady (10-18-17)

You alone have the ability to give any "power" you wish to anybody any time... but you're also really petty and use it for revenge / personal amusement [ link to post ] “No, it’s fine, go ahead and cut me off you bastard. Obviously you’re more important than I am,” I whined at the green truck that suddenly decided it needed to be in front of me to catch a turn. I needed to pump the brakes a bit, but it was more annoying than dangerous. I breathed deeply, trying to calm down. For my wife’s sake I began taking anger management courses, and they seemed to be working. I calmed down and forgave the rude bastard. It felt good to forgive him, and I smiled to myself when I decided I wanted good things for that person. “Your safety is now a major priority for all policemen within a 10 mile radius of you,” I said aloud. I was alone in my car. Speaking helped me focus, though I did not need to say the words aloud. It was not long before red and blue flashing lights appe...

B-Squad (6-29-18)

[WP] You have lived on earth your whole life. One morning, you wake up in the center of a modestly sized crater, as you look about you see fields of violet-tinted grass, a faint red sun in the sky overhead, and two moons in *much* closer orbit than our own. [ Link to post .] Lupe Villalobos standing around in a crater would not answer any questions. She reached up one of the sides gripping the violet grass around the upper rim of the hole. The texture of the violet grass felt the same as the green grass on Earth. The girl's coppery hair shimmered under the moonlight that she was making a point to ignore. She scanned the large field, turning slowly and staring out along the grassy plain.  "Whoaaaaa," Lupe whispered to herself. Despite the situation, she marveled at the beauty of wherever she was. The sight encouraged her to face the two moons she purposely kept at her back. She turned around and found that she could still feel surprised.  "Hi." Underneath...
