craigslist-style prompts

Click on the subject headers for details, and make a toplevel responding to one below!

NOTE: For the sake of clarity, you should write something like "re: (prompt topic)" in the subject line of your comment, rather than just the name of the character who "posted" the prompt. I know it doesn't really make a difference at the moment, but I do intend on adding onto this post in the future and that'll likely involve making multiple prompts attached to one character.

Spare Adult Ticket; Jaguars Baseball Buddy Wanted
I just won two tickets for the game coming up this week. Problem is, I don't have anybody to see it with.

Even though I got them for free, it feels like such a waste to show up all alone when I have an extra on my hands... so I figured I might as well take this as an opportunity to invite someone from online.

Whether you're a fellow die-hard fan who also appreciates this minor league underdog, or you're totally indifferent and just want to shoot the breeze by the bases with somebody willing to cover the cost for the concession stand- get in contact with me and you can hang out in the bleachers for free.

📸❤️ Photographer for hire! 📸❤️
Howdy! The name's Lotta Hart! I'm a freelance photographer, been in the trade for a good couple years. I reckon my rates're around $120/hour- you can try your hand at haggling with me on them, but be warned: I'm a mighty fierce haggler myself and y'all might wind up paying more'n double my base price when I'm done with ya! 💸💸

L.O.L., there I go blabbing about prices without even getting into the deets of what it is you'd be paying for. Alrighty then, I'll have you know that my MAIN area of expertise is in journalistic photography! Of ALL sorts, including, but not limiting to:
  • crime scene documentation
  • paranormal photography (the truth is out there!! 🛸👻👽)
  • celebrity tabloids
As you can see, I am just positively DYING to get a big scoop on my hands! ...but I know big scoops don't come along every day, so I ain't gonna turn down the pay if you wanna hire me for your humdrum little non-haunted wedding or whatever, either. Really, anything you can point a camera at, I'll shoot. So what're you waiting for?! Hit me up!
  • OTA, likely discussion of death given how every criminal case in Ace Attorney is a murder, as well as ghosts and miscellaneous other cryptids

Do you want me to craft a tailor-made toplevel prompt for a character of yours, like a missed connection or lost+found? I'm all for it. Alternatively, you can comment below with your muse's own Craigslist ad:

And I didn't know Stands existed. Guess you've been relying on fancy trick shit like that too much. Don't know how to fight for real anymore.

[The "family reunion" bit gives him pause- that's not really much of a taunt- but Venkman has no reason to really believe Okuyasu means immediate family- so he digs in a little.]

Didn't mean to beat your ass in front of your ancestors. Maybe you oughta've chosen a better venue.

[It's only after he verbally kicks the guy while he's down that Venkman registers the change to Okuyasu's expression- something he is no doubt going to feel real bad about soon.]

[With his hunched, quivering posture, teeth grit taut, and fists clenching the fabric of his jacket like it's Venkman's throat, Okuyasu's body language has the makings of an eruption of pure rage. ...except that, for as much anger as he has in his system, and as much as he wants to project that fury outside of himself right now... the tears finally flowing from his eyes make it pretty evident that what anger he has is being overtaken by... other, messier emotions.]

Didn't think a brother counted as an "ancestor", but sure- what the fuck do I know, anyway!?

[There is not a single physical blow that Okuyasu could have made that would have hit this dumbass anywhere near as hard as the psychological blow just dealt, via the two-fold realization that Venkman just taunted a stranger about his dead brother and that he beat up a teenager and made him cry. Psychological damage, indeed.

Granted, he barely even hit the guy, but that's beside the point.]


Oh, shit. My bad, man, I didn't know. Um- [Oh fuck this is like Kenny all over again but worse because he should've known better this time now that he has "made a twelve year old child run away crying" under his belt-] - please stop crying. I'm sorry.

[Venkman did not realize until this exact moment just how little he knows about the act of comforting a total stranger while they're crying.]

...went into it feeling like shit, s'all on me for being a dumbass- [Digging the base of his thumbs into closed eyes, trying to rub the tears away. This was supposed to be a way to blow off steam. So much for that. The whole thing was a stupid idea anyway.]

-ugh, goddamnit. This sucks. [He groans, dragging his hands down his face. Slouching deeper and curling up into himself like Venkman will just go away and leave him the hell alone if he stops looking at him.]
