Drabble/Drawble: Conversation Starters 101

[filia_noctis]

Hullo!

We are fascinated by and more than a little invested in Mary Renault's Ancient Greece novels, but for various reasons have found ourselves side-tracked, distracted, not looking enough, definitely not as much as we want. We assume everyone here shares the love if not the distractions. Above all, we hoped (are hoping) for an open-access space for like-minds to meet. And this is one of the handful of things we have lined up to kick-start the conversation.

So, to cut the ribbons on this comm, we thought of a Drabble/Drawble Prompt Fest. Anonymous comments are enabled, come in your guise or in disguise and leave a prompt. Responses come in the form of drabbles, ficlets or quick sketches (we love stick figures! We swear by them!). Responders can also stay anonymous if they choose, obviously. Do as you will, we are too lazy to screen anything. *g*

One request: leave the fandom of your prompt and the title of your fill in the comment-header so we can figure out where to click if the threads roll up (oh thrilling thought!).

Hope the responses leave you presently-surprised-to-flabbergasted, in all the nice ways!

Quick sketch: (Hope I did this right! Did you mean "The Mask of Apollo"?)

The mad queen sits snake enchanted, her eyes glitter in the lamp light like two lustrous agates found near the cross-roads on a moonless night - mysterious, cold, and entranced.

Her eyes find me, she is Persephone with her box of beauty, lovely, but fatal. I breathe in deeply smiling in relief. This play I know well. I will not be as Psyche! I have no curiosity!

Lucky Thettalos to be so focused on acting he is immune to Olympias' beauty and spells!

I'm sure it must be MoA (not the requester!)
