It's the end. But the moment has been prepared for ...
The Most Inconvenient Time for Ones Toggles to Drop
Why did I decide to get the morning paper in nothing but my My Little Pony boxer shorts? OF COURSE the door would lock behind me! And OF COURSE there would be a Rikti invasion at the same time! All I can say is thank goodness for Stone Armor and my Granite form! Nothing could be more humiliating that being caught in a huge group of my super-heroic peers in my
wait
what is that Sapper doing here?!
Lord Recluse Finds It Necessary To Pose As Santa
Yes, ho-ho-ho and
err
Merry Christmas
Recluse waved with a too-wide smile plastered across his face until the drunk Arachnos Soldier stumbled past then turned immediately back to the large pile of presents awaiting the annual Grandville Christmas party that evening.
Not my fault
not my fault
she hasnt been back that long
he muttered as he desperately sorted through the multitude of packages. Surely she would understand though
I could claim it was a joke gift
He shuddered at the sudden mental image that popped into his mind and redoubled his efforts, trying desperately to find the box containing the Directors Cut of Ghost wrapped in a fimly bit of lingerie.
He had only written To: Widow on the card.
Steve Gets Drunk
He could remember the bar. He could even remember laughing with the bartender as he stated unequivocally that he would NOT drink and drive.
After that things got kinda hazy.
Someone had asked him how fast he could REALLY run. Had someone else speed boosted him? It seemed possible. More than possible considering how badly his feet were hurting.
Against his better judgment Synapse opened his eyes. He appeared to be laying face down in front of a 50s style diner. All around him kids were walking by with slicked back hair and letter jackets on. He saw a girl in a poodle skirt.
Standing just beside him was a tall man with wild looking eyes and a shock of white hair bursting from his head in all directions. He shook his head and spoke.
That will teach you to run at 88 mph while generating 1.21 gigawatts of electricity.
My mind wanders so often you've probably seen its picture on milk cartons. - Me... the first person version of the third person Steelclaw
Trumped by Steelclaw... but if anyone were to do it, it'd be him.

Two thumbs up for both of you.
Cancel the kitchen scraps for widows and lepers, no more merciful beheadings and call off christmas!
Interesting! This popped immediately into my head and wouldn't go away until I popped it out.
Steve gets drunk
Raymond looked at the communicator that had awakened him at 5am and shook his head.
Okay. You swapped beers and girlfriend stories with Montague and decided to look up Karen.
Thats it exactly, said Steves voice, brightly.
Karen, prompted Ray. The marine biologist. Assigned to the Seaview Project. At the bottom of Eastgate Bay.
It seemed like a good idea at the time.
Ray sighed.
If you speed-swim back, youll get the bends.
I knew youd understand! replied Steve.
Did she appreciate the visit?
Her husband wasnt thrilled.
Ray sighed again. Ill have the sub readied ASAP, he said.
To help stave off writing ruts, I occasionally undertake a writing exercise known as a drabble challenge. A drabble, for those not familiar with the term, is a 100-word story. No more, no less. They are little vignettes in response to a prompt.
So, earlier today on Twitter, I put out a call for COH-related drabble prompts. I got a few. You guys are WEIRD. To make it easier for the requesting parties to find (though I name no names), and so that others might enjoy (or maybe take a crack at doing one themselves), here are the drabbles and the prompts that inspired them.
*****
Prompt: the most inconvenient time for one's toggles to drop
“You are asking a great deal, Mr. Phipps, but I fail to see the gain.”
“Sir, can you imagine the effect it will have on those… poor unfortunates of Haven House and in the sewers of Grandville? To see such a cherished icon of hope and joy. It will raise their spirits… which you can then destroy when and how you please.”
“This had better be worth it.”
“I guarantee it.”
“Very well. But no cameras.”
“I wouldn’t even dream of it, Lord Recluse.”
Prompt: Lord Recluse finds it necessary to pose as Santa.
He tried to sit down on the couch, but missed and landed on the floor.
“Oops.”
He leaned his head back against the couch. “I’ll just sit here and enjoy the buzz… yeahhh. I could get used to thi-"
For a second, it felt like his brain was exploding and he wanted to vomit.
“Owowowowowow…”
Then he sighed. “So much for that. At least the hangover’s over fast.”
Prompt: Steve gets drunk
