Hour 1: Quest Welcome to the first of many hours of creative madness! Alexis, are you ready? Alright darlings, I have prepped and marketed and put on my comfiest Louboutins, and here's your first prompt! Let's all embark together on this crazy... (-Fun trivia: Elijah and I actually dated for a little bit while he was doing that Lord of the Flies thing in New Amsterdam! [Lord of the Rings. New Zealand. And weren't you like 15??] -Well he was 17, so it was perfectly legal! Sigh.) 80 + 12:58a Hour 18: Ring Guys, I just have one little thing I'd like to share with you. That last prompt, well, I'm not sure if I have the right wardrobe for this job. Is there a clothing budget? Guys? Are you still there? Whatever! I like this prompt much better! 28 + 2:01a Hour 3: Superstition OHMIGOD YOU GUYS. It's somehow hour 3 already?? This seems needlessly stressful. I need a smoothie. Here's your next prompt! 71 + 3:01a Hour 20: Trials I'm not sure where Alexis went, but she asked me to sit in for your dribble day ... dabble day... But I'm supposed to read a prompt or... okay, TRIALS. Is that okay? (Verity Leaving by lena-hyena on deviantart) 34 + 4:00a Hour 5: Fairy It's hour 5??? What is even happening with time right now? Has it been stolen by... fairies? 32 + 4:56a Hour 22: Spell [And now Patrick seems to have disappeared, but we found somebody who'd just love to help us out in these final hours.] [Well, sure, but...] [Well, um... Okay! I feel like that injected some much needed energy into these wee hours. But, um, Ronnie, you forgot to... oh, never mind. This hour's prompt is SPELL.] 34 + 6:00a Hour 7: Heroine You guys have been SO BUSY and it is ADORBS. So boopable! Your next prompt is MOI! Awww, I am so honoured that you chose this prompt for me! [We... didn't, really.] Sure, whatever you say. The prompt is heroine! 30 + 6:58a Hour 24: Happily Ever After [WE DID IT YOU GUYS! WE DID IT!!!!! And for our last hour, we have a very special guest assistant:] Patrick tells me that some of you have been doing this all night. [David, maybe you could just read the prompt, please, thanks.] Happily. Ever. After. 52 + 8:01a Hour 9: Mirror So... are you seriously saying there's no breaks? [Nope, none whatsoever.] That can't be right. What about snacks and hydration? [Well, we fit those in whenever we can. Thanks for the reminder, though - stay hydrated, everyone, and don't forget to eat! And find someone to forehead-bump you with the strength and protectiveness of a thousand years!] Sweet. And bloody, so a little gross. They should check that in a... Hi mom! Thanks for helping, I guess? 47 + 10:03a Hour 11: Runes MODS: Aaaaaahhhh, another hour gone and Alexis is nowhere to be found! STEVIE!! MODS: Yes! Prompt! Quick! Yeeesh, ok, keep your hats on. Your next prompt is "Runes". Good luck with that! 33 + 12:11p Hour 13: Steed MODS: Alexis? You said you'd be back by now? ALEXIS!!! MODS: Are you okay? Are we... interrupting anything? MODS: ...ok, we don't actually want to know. How about you go find some clothes and we'll do our own prompt in the meantime. After the double whammy of the last hour, here's a soothing excuse of a prompt to paw some horses: STEED. 20 + 1:54p Hour 15: Sacrifice and Poison YOU GUYS OMG!!! [what. what is happening.] [we are not? we don't think?] Doesn't matter, we're leaning into it! You get two prompts again, and they are SACRIFICE and POISON! Have fun! 47 + 3:59p Hour 17: Siege [You still with us, Alexis? [Sorry! We know it's been a little bit more intense than you expected. It's fine, I am embracing it now! [That's the spirit!] Yessss. So your next prompt is SIEGE! 30 + 6:00p Hour 19: Ensorcelled HEY GUYS. [wha- ow!] Sorry, I tried yelling a bunch of times but you just stared at me blankly. You seemed a bit... ENSORCELLED! 21 + 8:00p Hour 21: Orphan [Yeah, that's what our assistant position seems to be? Orphaned? Nobody's here and we don't know where out prompts list went, argh.] Not to worry! Hi guys. Let's see if we can sort this out. So... [We're not sure, but Alexis ran off with our prompts and we're a little... overwhelmed.] Okay. Let's see. These are for all the brave drabblers still around... Or a glass of wine? [Yes, please. All of the above.] Great. You sit tight and I'll just do this prompt thing real quick - guys, welcome to Hour 21, you are all doing SO WELL, like, extremely impressive! Here's your prompt for this hour: ORPHAN! That's it, guys, you got this! Enjoy the rest of Drabble Day! [That was refreshing. Let's have him again next year! *coffee slurping*] 24 + 10:00p Hour 23: Surprise Leftover Double Prompts - Djinn and Oracle! [At this point, our door is basically wide open to whoever feels like taking a whirl at the assistant thing - so here's the lovely Twyla, who has succinctly captured the full essence of Drabble Day! Thanks, guys! So you get two prompts for this penultimate hour: Djinn and Oracle! Have fun! There may have been some liberty in how this prompt was perceived? Okay, now we're getting a little TOO wild with how we read that- Yikes, ok. 47 + << Previous Day 2021/05/30 [Calendar] Next Day >> Drabble, drabble, toil and trouble WHAT'S NEW COMMUNITY INFO FRIENDS ARCHIVE © CHESTNUT GALLERY Effing drabbles!
