I have grave concerns about the name of the community, but it would be nice to have something spurring me to write besides the rhamphorhynchus that sits next to my computer. So. Fingers crossed...metaphorically, of course, because it's tricky typing with them really crossed.

Date: 2016-11-03 08:39 am (UTC)As for the name...yeah, it's the very association with American Idol that gives me pause. But what's in a name, and all that, right?
And as you say, other things are of far more concern. Like this mysterious glowing idol and its evil whispering. How the heck am I supposed to obey its sinister commands if I can't even hear the thing? Hopefully I can convince it to speak up.

Hilariously, the 21st word in the nearest container of words turned out to be "curse." I'll let that simmer in the old brain for a bit and see what I can come up with for you.

"I figured."
"There's no easy way to say this. You're off the mission."
This was so much worse news than James had imagined. It was the first manned mission to the moon in over forty years. The moon! He was going to walk on the moon! Except, apparently, he wasn't. After a considerable stunned silence he managed to recover the ability to speak, and managed a slightly strangled "Why?"
"It's your...condition, James," said his boss's boss.
"My condition?"
"Don't play dumb, James," said her boss's boss. "It came up in your latest physical."
"What in the world are you talking about?"
"Your curse, James. The fact that under full moonlight you will transform into a half man, half beast and savagely attack and devour the innocent."
"I'll what now?"
"I mean really, James. It's a mission to the moon. You can't get more moonlight than that."
"I have no idea what you're talking about," said James. "I'm not a werewolf! There's no such thing as werewolves!"
"James, this isn't up for debate. I'm so very sorry for you that you won't be going to the moon. And that you're an inhuman monster. But we're done here. Security will escort you off the premises. And I warn you, their sidearms are loaded with silver bullets. Good day to you."
And that might have been the sad end of things, except that the next day it turned out that one of the reserve astronauts had tampered with the blood samples to disqualify James from the mission and try to take his place, and James wasn't a werewolf after all. James was reinstated amidst a veritable storm of apologies and the mission proceeded as planned, and a few short weeks later James achieved his dream of being the first vampire to walk on the moon.
And he lived happily ever after. EVER AFTER.
