Writing Prompts: "This combo is so fucking bullshit. Secret Smallpox Lab and Genetic Pandemic don't work this way when you have Beneficial Mutation in play and no, Hazmat Suit can't be activated from hand. This is the last time I play Science: The Hypothesis with you"

I discovered an old Reddit account I had for posting stories and writing prompts was somehow still active and decided to raid it for some of the older stuff I wrote while trying to get better at writing.  There isn't much but here is what there is...

"Wait! Wait…what’s wrong with it?" The small figure holding several books in his tiny hands asked.

"Everything!" The angry voice replied. "For one thing it violates the rule of threes!"

"Oh for @#$%!" Cried the oversized bunny rabbit throwing its paws up in the air.

"You shutup Bugs!" The earlier angry voice shot back. "You know as well as I do that this whole scenario violates the rule of threes, never mind what it does to the law of equivalent exchange!"

The smallest of the party placed the books down, not bothering to save the place in them he had previously held with his finger. He looked over at the complainer and sighed.

"Danfole," he rasped through clenched teeth, "how many times must I explain to you this is a world of science? The laws of magik you refer to have no hold there!"

The wizard of the party squared his shoulders and stood, towering over the dwarf, his lips thinning superciliously into a sneer. " And I told you that laws are called laws for a reason!" He grated out.

Before the dwarf could reply, the pooka jumped in. "And we told you it’s a game! Gods above, I knew we should have just gave in and played Corporation: The Suits Ladder Edition like you wanted."

"That’s right—at least Corporations doesn’t try to violate the rules of existence! I suppose a pooka like yourself is simply too stupid to understand."

"Who are you calling stupid you bigoted excuse for a magic user!?" The pooka raged, bringing its large head around to glare at the wizard.

Their bickering was suddenly interrupted by the very large axe which appeared suddenly between the two of them.

"Sit down and shut up—both of you." The tiny wielder commanded.

"It’s too late in the evening to start a different game and I’m tired of messing about. Next time one of you two can play the game master and choose the game. I’m going to sleep."

Confused by Music Videos, part one

So I put on Pat Benatar's Love is a Battlefield again (because I love the song) but for the love of Mike, can someone, anyone please explain the video to me?  As always it leaves me baffled. Is the boy upstairs her brother or her boyfriend, like David was to Darlene on Roseanne?  (I know the video predates the tv show, it's just an example of a situation.) And the lyrics for the scenes don't exactly help make sense of things here either.  Not too sure about that touching there given the uncertain relationship but the video has "Dad" telling her that if she leaves she can't come back so it's odd to think of it being a boyfriend in that circumstance, because wouldn't the boyfriend leave with her?  What exactly are they fighting for?  What is the battlefield in this case? Is she supposed to be a paid dancer in that bar\club she's in?  Because honestly, she looks so excited to be there.  Just look at her face. When she and the other girls in the bar f...

Writing Prompts: You wake up one morning as your 10 year old self. You try to explain to your mom that you are a successful adult, as she tries to get you ready for school.

 I discovered an old Reddit account I had for posting stories and writing prompts was somehow still active and decided to raid it for some of the older stuff I wrote while trying to get better at writing.  There isn't much but here is what there is...   Temporal displacement via avatar overlay is not a recommended version of time travel. Of course, since I was the first to travel in this manner and was completely ignorant of how it functioned that was unhelpful to me at the time. Accidental time travel; it’s a thing. Most people don’t know it’s possible and the powers that be are happier if it remains an unknown to prevent panic. Imagine if you could go to bed and wake up ten years old again? Or if walking out the door of a pub could land you in another continent before you left? Or if you went on vacation in France and discovered you had slipped through time to the days of the French Revolution? I’d fantasized about time slips before. Most everyone I know ...
