wordwhackerWow. Second to last prompt.
Had a nice day today - some outside time and a little physical activity, good food, nice social times on a couple of fronts. Now I have a bread rising, and I'm feeling a little sleepy. Going to pull a quick prompt and then maybe think through some possible food for next week before making it an early night.
For the first time, I opened one of my expansion packs for the Story Engine: the Sci-Fi expansion called "Written in the Light of Strange Worlds." They say you can use this deck alone, or mix it with the original deck; I think I'm going to keep it separate for now. Let's do a little Sci-Fi prompt!
DAY THIRTY PROMPT:
An experimental pilot wants to unseat a politician with a hidden compartment, but the blowback will fall on their closest friend.
Okay, I want this to be a sort of mad-cap space adventure action comedy. What I need to figure out is what the friend does; maybe an aide to the politician, who enlists their childhood friend to be a pilot for hire. But they have ulterior motives, and essentially wind up kidnapping the politician, hoping to get a good price for their release. But there were more groups at play than they realized, and now both legitimate and shady back-door organizations are losing their shit. They're on the run. And their friend is dealing with the fallout. Ultimately the friend needs to decide if they're going to sell out their childhood friend, or - given everything they're learning now that this person's shady dealings are out in the open - maybe they help them get away with it, or at least make sure some change comes of this mess.
Needs some work in the details, but it could be fun. Very tired now - sleep soon.
