Balamb came in with 20 points! The others ...are missing. How sad.

This week's word prompt: #101 - Fuujin

How did she become part of the Posse? How did she lose her eye? Was there a bit of romance between her and Seifer or was it just idolization? Does she have a burning secret love for Quistis or perhaps the bouncy brunette that transferred from Trabia? Or does she love none, feeling that love is an emotion that would make her weak? Does Fuujin have a fave comfort food that she turns to when feeling blue?

Drabbles can be from Fuujin's point of view or just about her from afar, but they must include Fuujin somewhere in just 100 words.

Author's Notes: mmm, i could so have a chocolate kiss like this.

No drabbles posted, no points given. Esthar still holds the trophy

This week's word prompt: #99 - Chocolate

Really? Does this need a prompting of words for you guys? Seriously. It's Chocolate. Ambrosia from the Gods. Go forth, nom and write away in bliss. Or bloated bellies of too much consumption.

However you write it up, hand over a piece of chocolate with your 100 words.

Suggestion Box

This week plans were sought, fixed, destroyed or possibly went as planned. Esthar came in on top with 50 points - I think the country that liked to stay hidden planned that win. Balamb came in with 10 points. Either they didn't plan or someone stole their ideas!

This week's word prompt: #98 - Cataclysm

A cataclysm is a form of violent upheaval, normally one of a social or political nature. Of course, it can also mean that there was an extensive flood or a deluge or even a change in the Earth's crust.

So, with that in mind, did the Timber resistance actually create a cataclysm? Did Galbadian armies have their own upheaval after the Sorceress War? Or think all the way back to Centra - any thoughts there?

However you feel that you need to share your Cataclysm, do it in 100 words.

Suggestion Box

Title: Snarled Yarn
Characters/Pairings: Zell with implied Seifer/Zell
Team: Esthar
Rating: PG - swearing
Word Count: 100
Author's Notes:

Zell really didn't understand how one simple mission could turn into something so clusterfucked. Factions and resistance movements popped up over night and put a huge kink into his plans.

He was suppose to be meeting up with a particular blonde in a couple hours but the mission was like a snarled ball of yarn. The more you pulled, the more it came unraveled with extra bits attached. Right now, the martial artist just wanted to find a pair of scissors and cut out the offending parts, just to go home and try to make up for being kept away.

Title: Not As Planned
Characters/Pairings: Squall/Rinoa, thoughts of Squall/Seifer
Team: Esthar
Rating: PG
Word Count: 100
Author's Notes: This is actually just parts of a longer one shot I'm writing.

The relationship with Rinoa, he didn't speak up against it, just went through the motions and let them happen. He didn't seem to care one way or the other how things went, still closed off to the world it seemed.

He did care, or at least he cared about the blonde. Cared that he was no longer there - antagonist, bully, rival, friend, lover. There was an empty spot in his heart. Rinoa knew that there was something wrong but never would she know who or how deep that empty space was.

This was not what he had planned for them.

Title: Saviors
Characters/Pairings: Shiva
Team: Esthar
Rating: G
Word Count: 100
Author's Notes: this might be something that's the tip of the iceberg. damn it.

It was said in hushed whispers through the halls of time and space where Guardian Forces reside that there would be Saviors, of a sort who would free their kind from Sorceresses who held them captive.

Shiva, who deemed herself strongest, arrogantly stated that she would one day be paired with the strongest of those Saviors, if they proved themself worthy.

Countless many came and failed. They could not free the chains that bound them but Shiva knew, felt it in her icy bones that the time was coming and her plan to be with the strongest would be nigh.

Title: Father's Wishes
Characters/Pairings: General Caraway, mention of Rinoa
Team: Esthar
Rating: G
Word Count: 100
Author's Notes: even fathers have plans

I had hopes, dreams - plans even, for Rinoa. I wanted so much for her.

If I could have, I would have shipped her away from my sort of life. Protect her from her thoughts that war was something good.

She never seen the ugly side of war - not how I did. Even with the Sorceress War, she still gushes about how things are going to be better.

Does she not see the broken dreams? The future plans gone awry? No. Of course not. She hasn't become jaded and bitter by life's ruined plans.

Maybe she can stay ever the optimist.

Title: Relinquished Proposals
Characters/Pairings: Rinoa/Squall
Team: Balamb G
Rating: G
Word Count: 100
Author's Notes: i had issues with dreamed/dreamt.

She had planned to fall in love, planned to get married and live happily ever after.

One might say that one out of three isn't bad, but it was, by her standards.

Squall was married to his job and their happily ever after didn't seem so happily or very ever after. She wasn't even sure if Squall even loved her anymore or if he kept her around because she was a Sorceress.

She felt betrayed by her plans, the plans that seemed so much like a childhood whimsy that was dreamed up in the lap of her mother.

Relinquished proposals.

Title: Uncertainty
Characters/Pairings: Selphie
Team: Esthar
Rating: PG
Word Count: 100
Author's Notes: I feel like there should be a warning but I'm not sure what it would be.


SeeD was something that some people strove to be, once they heard of it. Something to fill them with determination and drive - for whatever the reason.

After Selphie became SeeD, she was ecstatic. After saving the world, she was euphoric for a period of time.

All of that happiness and joy came to a screeching halt; instead she was filled with dread and uncertainty. No longer was the brunette upbeat and cheerful.

No longer was she certain of her future and Selphie felt more lost than she did while in Time Compression and all because of a positive pregnancy test.

Balamb G pulled in 70 points for past prompts!

This week's word prompt: #97 - Plans

Plans. Everyone makes them - some people will plan things down to the second, others have more of a carefree attitude and take things as they come - forgoing all plans. Do plans sometimes fall apart in your hands only to have something far better come along or do the plans that fell apart just lead to more crap?

Or maybe someone plans a secret tryst, or a birthday party? Perhaps battle plans don't go the way they were suppose to and now it's fly by the seat of your pants time?

Also, we will totally disregard the fact that I had this all planned out and went to post and it got ate. So now, I'm trying to remember what I had in the first post and failing.

However the plans go, or whatever plans are made, share them with us but only in 100 words!

Suggestion Box

Title: Blonde for a Blonde
Characters/Pairings: Seifer/Cloud
Team: Balamb G
Rating: R - implied sex
Word Count: 100
Author's Notes: >.> i blame it on Cloud's mouth.

Normally the saying went, an eye for an eye but a blonde for a blonde? Seifer wasn't complaining, not in the least.

When he first met Cloud, he would have pegged him for the sort that was quiet in all aspects of his life - sex included. Never thought he would've been a screamer. Zell, now he was quiet on the other hand - barely a noise when he came. For all the running at the mouth he normally did, Seifer originally thought he would have screamed until the walls fell down.

Seifer wasn't going to complain at the change of partners.

Title: Presidential Issues
Characters/Pairings: Reno, Rude, Seifer
Team: Balamb G
Rating: R - violence
Word Count: 100
Author's Notes:

"I can take whatever you throw at me." Word slurred by cracked and broken lips. Defiance shone in the green eye not closed by swelling.
"Hit 'em again. Cocky bastard." The redhead drawled around an unlit cigarette.
"..." The bald man seemed to almost hesitate for a second before winding up and clocking the blonde again.

Seifer's head swung back slowly and he sneered. "I told you once, I told you twice and I'll tell you again - I don't know where your 'President' is. We only had one - Deling and he got offed by the Sorceress. Never heard of ShinRa until now."

Title: Practical to Beautiful
Characters/Pairings: Rinoa, hint of Ultimecia
Team: Balamb G
Rating: G
Word Count: 100
Author's Notes:

The Station itself wasn't pretty to look at. It had the finest technology that Esthar had, updated constantly but it wasn't pretty. It was practical. It had housing units, the labs, the docking bays and the air-walks - all practical. No amount of paint could make it look pretty.

The Sorceress's seal was a thing of beauty. Some small voice kept whispering that it was something that should be admired - anything that could lock us away in a state of suspended animation was a thing of beauty.

Her body forced to move, shuffled along, from stark practicality to the insanely beautiful.

Title: Pot Calling Kettle
Characters/Pairings: Seifer/Zell
Team: Balamb G
Rating: PG
Word Count: 100
Author's Notes:

He is grandstanding again. It will get him into trouble with the faculty but in reality, it doesn't seem like he cares. If it wasn't T-boarding, it was doing back-flips and jumps off of the short wall in the main foyer.

Personally, I don't care. He calls me on my grandstanding, goes so far to say that I'm an exhibitionist. Says I like it when people watch me.

Not everything is about me. Just most things - like my want to push him up against a wall and kiss him. Watch his expression as he realizes I kissed him in public.

Title: Seat of Power
Characters/Pairings: Squall, Rinoa
Team: Balamb G
Rating: G
Word Count: 100
Author's Notes:

The Sorceress is dead, powers have moved on and the new Sorceress, well, she has yet to come home. To the seat of her powers.

The floating castle hadn't disappeared, it still remains tethered, waiting. Granted, it wasn't dark and brooding - it's walls were lighter stone and it looked brighter, inviting even.

Squall had SeeDs watch it for any unusual activities but the reports came back with nothing unusual happening.

He could order his SeeDs but he couldn't stop Rinoa from going to the Castle. Couldn't stop her from walking it's halls and sitting in the throne.

Seated in power.
