attention denizens of the FFML.
have you people ever had the oddest idea for a fanfic pop into your head
while you were dreaming or drunk or something equally mentally
incapacitating? its 03.00H where i am and i'm not fully awake right now. i
just woke up with the strangest dream and now i'm gonna post this idea
before i forget it when i wake up, lose my nerve, or see how bad it actually
looks like in the morning.
if you people ever have the same experience, i urge you to just post a short
synopsis to the list with the header [dreamfic]. it doesn't have to be a
full story, plot, whatever, since i expect you to be zonked out when you
actually write one. hopefully some kind soul will actually take it up.
STORY IDEA: COFFEE BREAK
crystal tokyo is supposed to be an utopian future for the human meaning, no
war, no hunger, no pollution. but then, being an idiot is a human
perogative.
george costanza works as a middle-management cog in crystal tokyo's largest
shipping/trucking company. its a boring job. george has a long running
rivalry for no apparent reason with the bald mustached guy sitting in the
desk behind him (the guy from the born loser comic strip). they do their
best to outstage and upstand each other so production-wise things aren't so
good. the company itself does well, but nothing outstanding. finally george
comes up with the idea of getting to the office early to make the born loser
guy look bad in front of the boss. after a week, thornapple gets edgy and
winds up coming to work early as well. somehow the whole thing escalates and
the rest of the company gets into the act thinking thornapple and costanza
know something.
in my dream, i was looking down from the boss' office out onto the company
front yard where its 05.30H and all the employees are lined up like
concentration camp prisoners. they are all being given a stiff ration of
coffee. (i was watching schindler's list yesterday) somebaody was saying
that production was up 40%.
other companies are getting nervous and soon everybody is going to work
early and chugging down latte like its going out of style. the palace gets
alerted when some palace guard on the staff goes nuts from too much caffeine
and attacks another guard. most of the senshi think something dark kingdom
style is going on. a riot breaks out and a starbucks is looted.
while mars and the others are investigating, king endiymon is at an outdoor
cafe and orders luna come up with a way to decaf the suspect coffee that
might be tainted with evil energy or something. george costanza who happens
to be there hears the order and panicks thingking he's gonna lose his job if
he doesn't continue coming to work early so he goes up to his girlfriend,
sailor mercury and asks her to come up with really potent coffee. i don't
know why she's his girlfriend, i just fdreamt this, okay? since she wasn't
at the palace she doesn't know about the investigation and happy to help,
she breeds some potent magic coffee beans which gets shipped out to the
distributers on her orders. she doesn't want her name revealed because an
endoresment from a senshi could be unfair competition to other suppliers.
nobody can argue with the senshi!
naturally, the others find the tainted coffee and start questioning things.
the poor workers can only say that it was a senshi who ordered them in.
uh-oh! one of them is a traitor and the whole production boost looks like a
preparation buildup for war. and with the rumors flying around about a civil
war, and renegade senshi, and god knows what else, i wake up with jerry
seinfeld screaming at george: "you idiot! you brought paradise to the brink
of civil war! for what? a lousy cup of coffee!"
there that's it. i'm almost fully awake and i'm too scarwed to proofread
what i just wrote. hell, i'll be too scared to open my mailbox in the
morning and see your reactions. her it is creativity withut the creator.
enjoy.
