Happy Future Day!
Oct. 21st, 2011 10:04 pmOtherwise known as the day of poor Jennifer getting screwed around. Dragged off to the future in a time machine, knocked unconscious. left in an alley, taken to her future home by the police, discovered that her future life was kind of crappy, and then had a personal encounter with her future self that resulted in her fainting and hitting her head on the door.
-J: My only consolation is that Doc and Marty weren't exactly having a nice day either. Well, Marty certainly wasn't.-
-D: Even though I technically did none of that, allow me to apologize for my canon self's actions.-
-AJ: It's okay, Doc. I know it's not really your fault, but the Bobs.-
Indeed -- this is what happens when you suddenly have an extraneous character in the time machine at the beginning of the unplanned sequel.
In terms of honoring the day, I watched part of the future sequence of Part II over dinner (chicken noodle soup), and I wrote what I hoped to be a Drabbles88. However, I can't see my way to fitting it to a prompt. >.< This seems to happen to a lot of the things I write for the remaining Drabbles88 prompts.
-VD2: What are the remaining ones, anyway?-
6. Hours, 8. Weeks, 31. Snow, 33. Thunder, 69. Clock, 75. Solstice, 83. Green -- You'd think at least three of those would be easier to fill, but I'm not getting ideas that fit! I just --
Hang on.
-TD: What?-
I might be able to use one of those, if a slang variation fits. Just a sec.
Hmmm. Looking at the definitions for "to snow someone," such as "to burden them with something" or "to block someone or something in," Snow might fit this one. You tell me:
( Drabbles88 -- Prompt 31? )
And now, back to coming up with birthday presents for Doc's birthday tomorrow. I'm glad I switched to just "the most important people to the character give presents on-screen" format -- this gets tougher every year. *ponders*
-TTV: I think the real stress would come from knowing you have to come up with something appropriately incredible for Butterfly Boy.-
Actually, I think I've got him set -- for Clockwork, at least. He's gotta give something to his Doc too. . . .
