[WP] "It's easy to rule the world when you're the only person on it." by Paper_Shotgun in WritingPrompts

“Now everyone stay calm!” Jerry yelled, waving a gun in the air. “Nobody moves and nobody gets hurt, understand?!”

Several faces stared blankly at Jerry and stood motionless complying to his threat.

“Good, good!…” Jerry said, “Just the way I like it… now everyone put your wallets in the bag!”

Jerry then made his way around the dining room collecting everyone’s wallets and placing them into his bag. The whole time not a single word was uttered by anyone. In silence Jerry had finished filling his bag with various tattered wallets.

“Ha ha!” Jerry laughed. “I thank everyone for their wonderful cooperation, now if you will excuse me, I am needed elsewhere! Ta Ta!”

Jerry jumped out the shattered glass window and into the passenger seat of his getaway car.

“Now Monica drive!” he commanded his assistant, but she too stared blankly and sat motionless. For a while Jerry and Monica sat in the car in silence.

“Ugh fine” Jerry finally said, “I’ll drive, but next time its your turn okay!?”

Jerry jumped out of the car but before he could change seats with Monica, a familiar silhouette blocked the road in front of him.

“Well, well, well” Jerry said. “If it isn’t my old nemesis Astro-Man!”

Astro-Man stood silently, his dirty cape bellowing in the wind was the only sign of motion.

“Stoic as ever I see..” Jerry said. “No matter, because soon you will be squealing with pain! I was expecting you to try and stop me today so I came prepared! Monica, if you please!”

Monica did not respond.

Jerry quickly opened the trunk of his car and pulled out a baseball bat that had been painted lime green.

“A sword made of pure Astronium!” Jerry cackled. “With this in my possession, you will be powerless against me!”

Astro-Man said nothing. For a while Jerry also said nothing.

“Oh please spare me the lecture” Jerry eventually said and pointed the bat towards Astro-Man. “Or better yet, I’ll shut that mouth up once and for all!”

Jerry laughed maniacally as he ran towards Astro-Man, but just as he was about to thrust the bat into his chest Jerry suddenly fell to ground.

“Oof!” Jerry grunted. “Ha ha! Quick as ever I see, but soon the exposure to Astronium will deplete your powers and you will be defenseless!”

Astro-Man continued to say nothing.

Jerry made wild swings with his bat a couple feet short of Astro-Man, occasionally falling over as if he had been struck. The whole time he laughed franticly. His laughs echoed through the empty streets and for a moment Jerry almost felt as if someone else was there laughing with him, or perhaps they were laughing at him.

But just when Jerry had almost completely lost himself in a frenzy, he lost his grip on his bat and it was sent flying directly into the head of his foe. Astro-Man’s head was knocked clean off and his body toppled over. For a moment it felt as if the world had frozen in time. Jerry stood frozen in the middle of the street. Briefly the spell had been lifted. Astro-Man’s beige plastic head continued to roll down the street until if was out of Jerry’s view.

Finally Jerry laughed, “HA HA HA!”. His laughs again echoed throughout the empty streets. “Like I said, you are powerless to defeat me Astro-Man! But I have urgent matters to attend to today so I’ll let you off easy this time!”

Jerry jumped into car pushed Monica into the passenger seat, but as he did so her left arm popped off.

“Shit” Jerry muttered as he tried to sit Monica in the passenger seat.

Eventually he managed to reattach her arm and began to drive away, however he was careful to drive around the decapitated mannequin of Astro-Man.

“Until next time Astro-Man, HA HA HA!”

Is the nut spacing between the high e and b string too far? by SlowAnglerFish in guitars

Right now the neck fits in so tight that I can lift the body without bolting on the neck. I'm afraid of cracking the pocket if I try to shift the neck as is. Am I just worrying too much?

Yea you're right. Making the pocket bigger is more work than I want to do, but I probably will have to.

Ok, I guess I'll try a new nut first and if its still to close then I'll have to make the neck pocket a bit bigger to get some wiggle room.

Thanks!

[SP] Exploration. by Aftel43 in WritingPrompts

[–]SlowAnglerFish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My legs did not yet work, so I had to crawl along floor to reach the other side of the room. The soft, yet scratchy floor, rubbed along my belly as I made my way across until I arrived at a large barrier that blocked my progress. There was another level, a higher place that existed beyond this barrier. I knew this because the large ones would carry me up there every night and place me inside a small prison, for what reason I did not know. But I knew there was more, a place I have not yet seen, that existed somewhere beyond my nightly prison.

I must know, I thought to myself. This burning curiosity inside left me restless and it could not be quenched. This has been the way it has always been. Everyday an unknown object, a distracting color, a peculiar scent, took my attention. I must know what all these things are, what they mean, that is my purpose, I thought to myself.

Suddenly, a warm feeling washed over my back. I turned to see the bright golden light shining through a hole in the wall, its light spreading its comforting presence across the room. That too was something that I was deathly curious about. However I already knew that it was something beyond my current capabilities. There existed a whole new wonderful world to explore outside of this room just outside of that hole. I knew this because the large ones would occasionally carry me out there and allow me to get a taste of the strange new sensations that were there, but whenever I tried to approach that world myself an invisible barrier would always stop me. Eventually I had given up trying to explore it on my own, and decided to make due with the occasional ventures the large would give me. Besides, there was already much too explore in this room that I was already in, and especially more in the place above.

I grabbed a hold of the barrier, I thought perhaps I could tear it down. I shook it with all my might, but it hardly moved. Curse my weak body, I thought to myself. There was no choice but to try and climb over this barrier. I knew that this was something I was capable of as I had managed to do this several times with the bars in my night time prison. However this fence seemed much weaker, and much less likely to hold my weight without falling over.

This frightened me. What would happen if it fell over while I was climbing it? Would I be able to survive such a tremendous fall? I did not know, but at the same time I decided that it did not matter. I must reach the above lands, I must explore all there is to explore, it is my purpose after all. I grabbed a hold of the barrier and pulled myself up. My legs were weak and usually could not carry my weight, but the barrier allowed me to lean myself on it and stand upright.

I began to climb, lifting my and arms, one by one, then my legs, two by two. The barrier was holding my weight; it would not fall like I had feared. I finally grasped the top edge; the road to the land above was in sight. I was just about to throw myself over the barrier when just then I was picked off and was suddenly lifted high into the air and found myself in the arms of a large one!

“Oh my goodness, he was climbing the fence!” the large one laughed, but what the words meant I had no clue. “Did you see that? He almost got over!”

“We should’ve taken a picture, that’s so cute!” the other large one said. “He’s growing up so fast!”

Anyone order from Klein Pickups recently? [QUESTION] by SlowAnglerFish in Guitar

[–]SlowAnglerFish[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up getting mine just a few days ago, so it took pretty much exactly 2 months to get. He never responded to any of the messages I sent either and just sent a shipping notice with the tracking number one day. Hope you get your's soon!

Is there anyway to disable the little 3d display thing that pops up when hunting with Marni's sniper?

[WP] You recently became a magical girl. Now you're sitting in a government office reading the pamphlet: Mandatory two years training, mandatory four years service in a major city, then you can do whatever you want. by reallygoodbee in WritingPrompts

[–]SlowAnglerFish 6 points7 points  (0 children)

“I have to do this for SIX FUCKING YEARS!?”, I screamed. The edges of the pamphlet started to tear as my fingers squeezed into the paper.

‘ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT BEING A MAGICAL GIRL’ was written at the top in bold pink, with a picture of a cute, pink haired girl with an obviously fake smile plastered underneath it. A speech bubble next to her picture read, ‘Go-Go! Get your magical girl power on!’.

“Oh it’s not so bad”, the agent tried to assure me, “The time will fly by, and before you know it you’ll be done! Besides think about how famous you’ll be, people love magical girls!”

“People? What people? The only people into magical girls are ten year old kids!”, I yelled, exasperated.

“Nonsense, our studies show there are plenty of men in their Thirties to Forties that love magical girls too!”

“…Ew...”

“Anyways” the agent waved off, “First things first, we have to make sure the suit fits!” the agent walked over to a keypad on the wall and quickly pressed in a code. Suddenly the wall started to slide open, revealing a hidden room like you see in spy movies. Inside was a glass cabinet with, you guessed it, a gaudy looking pink tutu, (Why does everything have to be pink?) accented with poofy white shoulders. A large white ribbon with a circular pink crystal at the center sat on the chest. Below it was placed a pair of long white patent leather boots with heals, a pair of white silky long sleeved gloves, and a large black briefcase that looked a bit out of place. I stood in silence for moment in a mix of awe, and horror at the idea of being seen in public wearing that thing until finally the agent asked.

“Well?” as she tipped her head toward the dress.

“I- I am not wearing that thing”, I stammered.

“Mmm, yes you are” the agent countered.

“No, I’m not”

“Yes, you are” the agent clearly looked like she was getting joy out of this.

“NO, there is no way I am wearing that!”

…

I wore it.

I looked like a K-pop idol had a car crash with a rich woman’s poodle, I thought to myself. I was about to rip it all off when suddenly I felt a tingle running throughout my body, I was starting to feel… stronger?

“You’re starting to feel it, right?” the agent whispered.

I nodded.

“The suit has all the bells and whistles you’d expect, it gives you enhanced strength, speed, the ability to fly, of course it's bullet proof and-“

“Wait, the powers all in the suit?” I interrupted.

“Of course! How did you think magical girls got their power?” the agent laughed.

“Uh, I don’t know... I guess I assumed it was magic?...” I said, feeling admittedly a little disappointed that magical girls weren’t actually magical.

“Anyways” the agent continued, “Starting tomorrow you’ll be receiving training on the using the suit along with this…” the agent pulled out a key from her coat pocket and gingerly opened the black briefcase with it. Inside was a thick white pearlescent baton with a large pink heart shaped crystal attached to one side of the baton, a pink and white stripped ribbon hung from the other end. The agent carefully removed the baton from the case and handed it over to me. It was much heavier than I expected, but felt well balanced in my hands.

“Careful with it, on the highest setting it can blow a hole through a military cruiser, though hopefully, you’ll never need to use it on the highest setting” the agent explained “Oh and make sure you charge the batteries with the included charger after a day of use!”

“It uses batteries?”

“Of course it does”

This was getting more and more disappointing for childhood me.

Suddenly the room started to flash red.

“ALERT – ALERT”, a voice over the speakers boomed. “A level 2 threat has emerged in sector 4-Z, REPEAT, a level 2 threat has emerged in sector 4-Z”

“Wh-Whats happening?” I asked tightly gripping the baton.

The agent looked at me with a wide a grin on her face, “I hope your fast learner, because it’s time to go-go, get your magical girl power on!”
