Persuasive Essay: Zombies vs. the Human Race

There is just something inherently scary about zombies. With sheer numbers and slow gaits, they represent an inevitable demise, impossible to stop as they surge forward, hungry for the flesh of those who remain living. But is it really true that ...

Five People

The idea for the recently submitted challenge was because of my reading Libba Bray's Rebel Angels. In the back of the book she is put through a scrutinizing Question and Answer section. One of the questions was: If you could invite five people in the world, dead or alive, to a party, who would you invite? So, it was not soully my own idea...I just thought it'd be fun to see how such a party would play out, depending on different people!!

My list of guests would be:
-Vlad 'Tepes' Dracula
Insane, perhaps, but meet him I must.
-Jesus Christ
I need to ask him a few questions. You know, sort a few things out.
-Mark Twain/Andrew Clement
An epic writer. I want to meet the man being the literature!
-Ghandi
His ideas on life were interesting, in the least. I should like to talk to the guy face-to-face.
-Edgar Allen Poe
Perhaps this is more for Vlad's benefit than mine. No, I actualy want to meet the kind of person it takes to write those type of poems.

I considered three other candidates, but alas, there was room for only five: Ellen DeGeneres would probably get impaled by Vlad, Michalangelo would probably talk too cryptically, and the real reason I would actually invite Julius Caeser would be to kick his butt out the door again.

Perhaps I will post what would happen with a party with me and them, like with the challenge for Comics....

Maybe...just maybe. :) It's definitely be a party to remember!

You Are Just So EVIL! D<

For SachiroUchiha's challenge.
My English teacher once asked us as a small writing topic: What would happen if you were stuck on an elevator with someone you really disliked?
I finished early, so I had about three in all.
Out of anime characters, it was either this guy or Sicks from Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro...
Anyway...

--

There stands between them mere feet. One glares down the other. This other sort of stares back.

The first figure is myself. The other...
Fei Wong.

The location?
A humble elevator.

Finally Fei Wong asks, "What are you looking at?"

Artist (because this isn't as epic if I speak in first person :|) narrows her eyes at him. She quickly decides it better not to answer this question.

There is more silence. One may wonder, How many friggin' floors of awkward silence does this building have?
Of course, this topic would be moot. And I couldn't tell you.

At some point however, Fei Wong hears, "EEEEEEEEEEVIIIIIIIIL....."

He looks around a little, then glances at the only other person in the vicinity. "Excuse me?"

"EEEEEEEEEEVIIIIIIIIIIIL......." Yes, it is in fact her doing this.

"What are you muttering?" he growls, starting to feel uncomfortable.

Artist is quickly leering. "EVIIIIIIIIIIIIL!!!"

And the elevator door pings open...

AND A FLOOD OF FAI FANGIRLS CHOKE THE DOORS IN A MAD SCRAMBLE TO RIP FEI WONG LIMB FROM LIMB!!!

[This is where either I'd wake up from my pleasent dream or Fei Wong would wake up from his horrific nightmare]

Anime Closet Adventure Nine!

"Luuuuucifer~!"
"Hai, ma'am." Lucifer came approaching PheonixFox, Shikamaru, and the duct-taped Neji. Behind him walked Gaara, and along the ground he dragged yet someone else wrapped in duct tape.
PheonixFox leaned to the side to look at the other figure. "Ah! Itachi. I guess I expected it'd happen that way."
Lucifer nodded, and sat Itachi down next to Neji. Neither one looked happy, especially Itachi, since his eyes had been taped over.
"Who's this?" Shikamaru asked of the second victim.
"Itachi Uchiha. See?"
"Uchiha? You mean like Sasuke?"
"That's a yes and not a no! He's got the Sharingan! Only more powerful than Sasuke's! So it's no surprise he's been chosen like the rest of everyone!"
"Chosen?" Gaara asked.
But, apparently not having heard him, PheonixFox went skipping into the large, colorful house, and Lucifer slung Neji over one shoulder and dragged Itachi behind to follow. Shikamaru and Gaara reluctantly went in as well.

"Missing."
"Hm?" Genuine asked as she licked his shoe.
"X is...missing."
"Mm...is he, now..?" she murred.
"It seems even his care-taker has no idea where he is."
"You'll find him."
"Yes. I will. This is quite annoying, however."
"How far could he go? There's only the world to escape to. Your world, Sicks."

"God bless you," L said dully as X wiped his nose after a sneeze.
Nekozawa was in action at once. "A rumor! Someone is spreading a rumor, X..." A pillow plapped at the back of his head, and he turned, insulted, to find Ed frowning at him.
"What a lousy superstition," he huffed. "He might just have a cold. Or allergies."
"Superstitions usually have to start somehow," Fai said with a smile, walking over to X and patting his head. "Are you okay, X?"
X nodded. "Just fine. I wonder where Ai is."
"Ai?"
X nodded. "Ai." He didn't elaborate.
"I want to explore, too," Alphonse said, "like Kurama and the others, but after what happened before I'm not so sure."
"I'm not afraid to go looking around," Fai said cheerfully. He looked down at X. "Want to come with me?"
"If that's all right."
"Of course."
Riku stood up. "May I come?"
"You don't even have to ask," Fai replied with a smile.
"Of course you don't! That's the point of having the freedom to explore!" Everyone turned to the door, and of course PheonixFox had returned. "Hi my dear adventurers! We have some more for you to meet!"
Edward grimaced. "There're already too many of us as it is, you dope."
"No, not enough. but we're getting there. The adventuring will start soon, so don't touch that dial! For now, we have these four, Shikamaru Nara, Gaara, Neji Hyuga, and Itachi Uchiha!"
Hiei took one looked at Lucifer behind her, carrying two of the new arrivals, and gritted his teeth. "You brought out that evil tape again, didn't you!?" he demanded.
"It's not evil, it's duct tape."
"I don't care if it can quack, crow, or wield a machete, it's annoying and despicable!" he accused.
PheonixFox brought out here silvery roll and cuddled it to her cheek. "It's strong, useful, and dependable! It is the master of the universe! All must bow before the mighty power of duct tape!!"
"You're crazy."
"Yes! Thank you!"
Lucifer came in and plopped Itachi and Neji onto two individual beds, as Shikamaru and Gaara sat on their own hesitantly. Itachi squirmed, mouth grim.
"Now! Let's run off, Lucifer! Oh, but wait! Kurama and Hao and Kayashima are missing! Are they exploring?"
A handful of the group nodded.
"Terrific! If any of you are looking for a certan kind of room, ask Lucifer or me whenever you get the chance, alrighty!"
Alphonse raised his hand. "Can you show my brother and I to a nonfiction library?"
"Certainly! Lucifer, head out without me, I'll be going shortly!"
Lucifer bowed, and with a curt "Yes, ma'am," he was gone in a flash. That's ninja for you.

"Now, this is somewhat...spooky." Kayashima didn't look too well.
Kurama shrugged. "It's not as bad as I thought it'd be. But this is definitely what those two were talking about."
"This way, the library is this way!" they heard behind them, and they turned to out in the hallway to find PheonixFox leading Ed and Al by. She paused as she saw the three in the room. "Oh! I really like that room. Hope you enjoy it!"
Hao, having already stuffed the paper away, grimaced. "I really don't understand you."
"Then learn to~!"

"Where is he?" a voice in the darkness echoed. "Where..?"
There was no answer, of course. He was alone in the deep abysmal darkness.
"My vessel has gone missing. He still has his powers. I can feel them. But he is missing."
Some punishment was in store for a frightened runaway...
