#004 Addendums (Inara)

Title: Addendums
Character: Inara Serra

Notes: Written for big_damn_quests
Challenge: (Round 4 - Challenge 4): “What is your biggest pet peeve?”

My biggest pet peeve is definitely the disrespect that Mal shows me. He calls me a whore despite all the times that I’ve requested him not to. I think he does it because of his obvious dislike of my career choice. There’s almost always a hint of jealously in his voice when he uses that word…

Another thing that he does is barge into my shuttle unannounced, whenever he feels like it. He never shows any sign that he cares. Its almost like he does it on purpose, to get my attention. Intolerable is too weak a word to describe it! I fear that someday, he’s going to interrupt me at a very bad time.

I only hope that when that happens, I’m not with a client.

When I first joined the crew of Serenity, I put forward a few very simple addendums. Out of everything that asked of him, I can only think of one rule that hasn’t been broken. That is my biggest pet peeve of all.

#001 Surrounded

Title: Surrounded
Series: The Refugee
Prompt: #001 Dagger
Word Count: 100
Characters: An unidentified being and the military force.
Notes: Written for ficlets100... This series is focused on what I imagine would happen on a secret government mission where they exterminate the aliens...

A small, mysterious figure crept through the bushes, hidden by eerie shadows that danced across the moonlit ground. Trees swayed in the gentle breeze and all was silent. And then it began.

Hundreds of men ran through the forest, flashlights beaming a path ahead. Heavy footsteps sounded as they trampled forwards, disturbing everything they touched.

The being fled, heading away from the invading troops. Crashing out of the forest, it emerged into a clearing where a small army was gathered. It was surrounded.

Huddling into a tight ball, the being whimpered as the men unsheathed their daggers and moved in…

Previous Chapters: Surrounded

The being shrank down as the men moved even closer. Dashes of moonlight glinted off their daggers, sending sparks of light into its eyes and reflecting off a pale red haze.

The men paused for a moment as the hazy glow spread to the beings’ skin. A couple of them stepped back a few paces, involuntarily. Some bolted for their cars. Most of them pushed on.

The being suddenly closed its eyes and relaxed as the men advanced. Moments later, a flash of blood-red pierced the sky. The being disappeared into the trees, leaving a trail of bodies behind it.

#059 Intoxicated

Title: Intoxicated
Prompt: #059 Intoxicated
Word Count: 100
Characters: Mulder and Scully
Notes: Written for ficlets100

“Hey! Sc..Scully!” Mulder called out to his partner. She glanced up at him surprised to see him, before double taking at his stumble over her name.

“Mulder? Just how intoxicated are you?” she questioned, sceptically.

“’m not drunk!” he slurred back, staggering over to greet her. He paused in front of her and swayed lightly on the spot.

“Why is it that you stumbled over my name, then? And you’re tripping over your own feet!” Scully pointed out, grabbing his arm as he almost fell over.

“I…I’m not!” he argued weakly.

Scully rolled her eyes. “Sure Mulder. Whatever you say.”

Another Bout Of Randomness

I've added another few fics tonight, including the first 3 for my X Files claim at ficlets100! Here's a link to the table if you're interested.

Anyway, I've started a mini series type thing focused on what would happen on an alien cover-up mission for the government. You'll have to read them to find out more! =P

I'm hopefully going to have some more River ficlets up in the next day or two, as well. I've been focusing a lot on The X Files lately, so haven't done as many as I would've liked for her.

Oh, and while I'm on the topic of The X Files, my order came in! *jumps up and down excitedly* Season 3 is currently waiting for me to pick it up from Sanity! The only problem is I haven't seen Season 2 yet. I thought I'd have seen it by the time the order came in, but nope. I'll see if I can borrow Season 2 over the weekend or something and then watch Season 3 after that...

There's a Back to Firefly fic challenge starting up real soon. I'm thinking of signing up. The prompts are all very shiny from what I've seen! Don't know which prompt to claim though. More info behind the lj-cut.

( Info & Dates )

I guess I should go. I've been telling myself for days now that I'm going to go to bed at a decent hour...and ended up not going to bed until 12:30am to 2am!! Not exactly a decent hour! I'm aiming at 11:30 tonight! =P

So...G'nite! =)
