The door to my office slams open, the wind from it blowing most of the papers off my desk. I hear the pleas of placation from the intern, who stops mid sentence when I raise my hand to him. as the burly man approaches me lightning crackling around him in anger he bellows out "This worm suggested that I, the god of thunder and war, be reduced to a simple factory worker. I cannot believe this insolence!"

I take a sip from my coffee mug and grimace at the overwhelming sweetness, as I glance at my calendar to see if I can schedule a training session. Picking up the relevant papers scattered across the floor, I respond with an unamused tone "Yes, yes. Such an insulting thing to suggest that such a great being be subjected to." Having finished gathering the pages and returned to the desk, I look up to see his impatience grow. "Please take a seat Loki."

A sly grin crosses the man's face as his figure shifts into a more slender form. "What gave me away?"

Without taking my eyes up from the files I collected, I chuckle back to him in amusement "You took too long to throw a fit... That and the fact that I still have yet to handle the fallout from you getting Odin hired at 5 different agencies." I take another sip of my coffee and return to the files. "Most adults still don't even believe that he's real anymore."

The air feels uneasy and stale for a while before Loki finally breaks the silence. "So... I'm not just here to cause mischief this time." His previously excited and confident face gave way to a look of concern and anxiety. "I am in need of a new job."

I finish looking over his files and acknowledge his strengths "Deception, charisma, and literally having the ability to be two-faced. A strong penchant for chaos and disruption." Musing over the idea once more in my head, I take another sip from the now cold mug of coffee. "I think I have the perfect idea for you."

Loki perks up as he hears this, but immediately returns to a frown. "I will not take the lowly job of an actor, and after the bigfoot incident, I refuse to play the roll of a 'Legendary Creature' again."

A large smile crosses my face as I reassure him. "No, this position carries with it great power and prestige. You will be more recognized and influential than your brother, father, and all others from your pantheon." I drain the contents of the mug, and stand up to walk over to the calendar and jot a few things down before continuing. "How much do you know about the United States legislative system?"

"Absolutely nothing."

"Perfect."

Angry succubus noises

A duck sitting in it's pond watches a strange scene unfold.

A pair of spies on a rainy day board a trip on a plane to hurriedly intercept the supervillain on the plains of Spain.

Ok, slight mistake, I just know Grimm Brothers is where Disney takes a lot of inspiration from.

He would be President in 10 years.

Hans Christian Andersen tale

I mean, land of eleven thousand lakes also rolls off the tongue very well.

Absolutely teared up. Wonderful job.

I was gonna say, I've seen this exact prompt before

“If you’re trying to make me depressed, you should realize that untimely death results in a different outcome than nonexistence.”

Great story! I really felt for Maddie.

i have always wondered why Kyuubey didn't just ask for one of the girls to wish to stop the entropy of the universe. i never followed the show that much, only anime. but it always seemed weird reading the backstory that this loophole was never called out. or maybe it was and was just somewhere i never saw?

"Hey humans, that asteroid is really harshing our mellow," said XXX49-Cheeze-Whiz.

"Really?"

"Yeah, coudl you like do somethign about it," continued the alien.

"I mean, sure, if that is a formal request," said the human starship.

Glorblax frowned at XXX49-Cheeze-Whiz, "If you think we are going to be impressed that the human starship cuts that asteroid apart with its lasers or maybe fires a missile at it, you are going to be disapointed."

XXX49-Cheeze-Whiz shook his tentanacles, "I've never been dissapointed by humans before."

Glorblax swizzled his nizzles, the audacity of the Produplacians brining in the humans was one thing, but the mighty doom fleet was ready to lay waste to their latest colony. The single human ship was not even half the lenght of one of their cruisers. If they thought that destroying a single asteroid was going to impress the doom fleet they had something going. Certainly it would take the entire fleet a minute or so, but it was well within their capacitties.

In fact, Globlax though, let us just end this. "Target the asteroid."

"It is already gone, sir, swallowed up by a wormhole."

"A wormhole can't move things," said Glorblax.

"Science thinks it was attached to a black hole, they saw spagitification before the asteroid vanished."

"Their main weapon can do that," asked Glorblax.

"Science believes that was one of their secondary weapons. I don't even want to guess what their primaries can do."

"Can we target the human ship?" asked Glorblax.

"With those shields, what are we going to do give them a light show? Our main weapons are just partical beam cannons. "

"I think we'll leave," said Glorblax.

Thank you.

Love it!

That's a really cute snippet, well done! :)

I was sure you were gone make them a prankster tiktoker or something, the one job getting in trouble is on brand

I mean rule number five allows that. And I know I personally enjoy saying repost of prompts because they get different responses. So I feel like if this is something you have an issue with you should bring it up to the mods.

You know a bunch of them. Megathor, the arch villain of the eighties. He is now a gigantic old man, he still has his signature wide plump mustache. But his long black hairs are gone. Next to him is Crimelia, his old right-hand and lover. She is surprisingly beautiful for a sixty year old woman. Tall and graceful, her bright fiery hazel eyes are now filled with sadness and grief.

Twins, Sin and Vice a row behind them. Both in identical black suits. Hard to believe those two calm and mild mannered old men used to be the most evil villains of their time. There are more but you don't remember their names. In fact there are more villains, former enemies of your grandpa at the funeral than there are colleagues or government officials.

At the reception, Megathor and Crimelia approach you. Both are wearing formal dresses. Meghthor is a neck and shoulder taller than anyone you ever saw. His broad shoulders fell in sorrow: -hello young man. Are you Jeff's grandson?

-Yes. I'm Mike.

-So you are Mike. He spoke highly of you. I reckon you know us?

-Few people don't Mr Megathor.

-Call me Bob please. Those days are long gone. And this is Carmen. You might know her as Crimelia.

-Please bobby. You know I hate that name. Your grandpa was the best man I have ever met. And I met the whole bunch of them. Fought many. Many were stronger, smarter, none had his character.

-Can I ask what are you doing here? No disrespect but weren't you guys enemies?

Bob: Well we were enemies. In the battlefield. We fought for different causes. It has been so long I don't remember what for. We didn't do bad things for the fun of it. We did it because we thought it was the right thing to do. You see, right and wrong are not always so clear. So pure. They are, more complex than that. And Jeff knew that.

Carmen: He never judged us. He was always ready to hear our point of view. He was what's our society today is missing. A good enemy. And without good enemies, there can't be true friendship either.

Bob: We had a son. He was six when he died of cancer. God...It still hurts. Jeff was there for us. He wept with us, comforted us, hell he even managed the funeral service himself because I was drunk all the times .What a man he was.
Speaking of drinks. Anyone want a refill?

And he proceeds to find another drink.

Carmen: He is already drunk. Didn't saw him this messed up in a long time. Jeff was like an older brother to him. Once Bob went to Soviet Russia to rescue Jeff from the Soviet prison. Another time Jeff almost got prosecuted for letting Bob walk away against orders to kill him.

When Bob came back, Twins are with him. Bob is holding two glasses full of drink in his massive hands.

-Sin: Our condolences son.

-Vice: Your grandpa was the reason our life turned around.

-Sin: We beat him more times than he did, you knew? We won most battles against him. But lost all the wars.

Vice: He used to say "The true win is not to win the fight, but to win the heart of the enemy."

-Sin: And he did. We came back to college thanks to him. He paid our tuition fee. We still kept making trouble. But he never gave up. Wish our own father was like him.

Vice takes another sip from his whisky. Everyone remained silent for some times. You wonder how your funeral would be? Will your enemies mourn your departure? Your grandpa...you felt a sudden rush of sadness. A drop of tear drops from your eyes.

Carmen rised her glass: To Jeff. A great friend and even a better enemy. May his soul be in peace.

-"To Jeff." Everyone replied. You drink your whisky. It makes your inside burn. You feel sad. Not for your grandpa. He lived a great life. But for the world, a world which needs such a man more than ever.

Above the ocean, walking alongside Eric, she'd wondered at the clarity and the color of the cities sprawling around them. More than ever, she'd damned the ocean for its dark blue, the way the water only reluctantly bared its contents, piece by piece, as you swam farther and deeper.

She'd been a fool for it. More foolish, even, than killing Eric. She ached for her dark blue oceans, now. The weapons of war threw the sea creatures and sand so that everything was lost to the murk. They huddled in their rock castles that, for so long, had stood strong against firm currents, coming undone as technology out of the grasp of their understanding plummeted beneath the waves.

Her sisters and her father listened to her pleading for their forgiveness and granted it. She could not be sure that they were honest during the onslaught. She could not see their faces, and their voices were lost among the impact of the humans' attacks. The castle stone fractured and fell. The water gradually found itself again, dark blue and secretive, coral thriving on a pile of strangely shaped rock.

Simply an upvote wouldn't do.

Thanks for sharing this.

With that history and resume I thought you were going to make him a porn star.
