i’ve been told that “All for one and one for all” is a motto from The Three Musketeers, and that that’s probably the intended reference

could also be a pun tho

VJ Wocky · Feb 1, 2021 at 5:48 PM

no i get that. that was...actually rather obvious even from canon (i may be biased since growing up, mom had a fondness for 3 muskateer movies). its the way the fic GOT there, and what it DID with it, that was so surprising

Project: Basic Living Guarantees

“It’s fucking infuriating how many resources we’ve managed to free up through this program.

“Do you know how much fucking further you can stretch consumer goods by just disabling their obsolescence features?

“One of the fucking resorts had these, like, these goddamn fucking no-joke cookies that they used to reward high performing staff. They’d give them a box of the things if they showed up every single day, put in four hours of overtime, and didn’t get a single complaint from a client, manager, or co-worker for an entire month.

“And guess fucking what? They had an entire warehouse of the goddamn things because some manager had a kickback program with the manufacturer, and just got literally tonnes of cookies each month, theoretically enough for each employee if they performed well enough to get a box.

“Do you know how many boxes he gave out in January and February combined? One. One small box.

“Now fucking just expand that across the fucking planet in every sector of every single industry! In every single workplace!

"It’s honestly pretty fucking stupid how much slack we’ve found.”

Playing Quests is handy in that matter, because they don't require a consistent playerbase, you can just pop in and pop out if you want.

Not making demands, just pointing out.

Connor walks up the the robot stopping its cleaning mode before lifting it up, pretending to be inspecting it.

“Oh no, so many flaws and errors!” He gasped. Faking disappointment when looking at the prototype.

“Have you been waiting long? You could have called me.”

“It’s more fun this way. Cats are excellent ambush predators.”

“You mean… you couldn’t be bothered to call ahead?”

Kwazii shrugged. “We’re strategically lazy ambush predators.”

"You're a vegetarian."

"Strategically."

"Ah! Sakura!"

"Don't-" she hacked out a cough, "Worry about me, Gai-sensei. I'll just take a nap down here."

"Nonsense! The power of youth prevails!"

Gai carried Sakura in his arms the next forty-eight laps around the village.

Great fic so far, also completed and short. Starts dark.

Edit: so its not completed but rather abandoned. What's up of it is still fun, but cuts off after ch 4

DIRK: It seems I have miscalculated.
JAKE: Oh?
DIRK: Well to be a real fuckslut you have to lower your standards to the absolute floor, but in doing so I did not account for one thing: now everyone else has higher standards than me.

Oh my God.

AZIRAPHALE: “Yield, demon, or I shall be forced to smite you again!”

CRAWLY: “That’s it? Seriously? That’s the best you’ve got?”

AZIRAPHALE whacks him over the head again. CRAWLY smirks.

CRAWLY: “Don’t you have a flaming sword or something?”

AZIRAPHALE [horrified]: “This is a bookshop! Fire is the last thing I want in—”

On cue, a sheet of flame roars in from the kitchenette. AZIRAPHALE stares as the shelves catch fire like, well, books in a furnace.

AZIRAPHALE: “Oh, no! There will be so much paperwork!”

“Murdered? Are you sure? I mean, not to be callous, but … she must have been over six thousand years old by this point.”

“Precious few females of any age who beat themselves to death with a plank,” Shadwell responded drily.

“What do I always say about taking candy from strangers?”

Brian squinted up at him. “Turn out their pockets to make sure they’re not keeping the good stuff for themselves?”

“Paper clips? And he’s taking what, one a day?” he scoffed. “What’s the big deal?”

“That’s five-hundred paper clipzz!” growled Beelzebub. “He showed me a picture of the chain he’zz made with them. It’zz over seventeen meterzz long!”

Gabriel blinked his violet eyes. “That. . . that is a lot of paper clips. How did you catch him?”

“He ran out of paper clipzz at his desk in the middle of a project, and when he azzked for more, Dagon realizzed how many boxezz he’zz been through. Crowley admitted it after that.” Beelzebub sighed heavily and sipped at her drink. “He said he did it to see how long it took us to notizze.”

“Mmn. Did you fire him?” When Beelzebub shook her head, Gabriel said, “I would have fired him.”

“I told him to bring them all back on Monday. After he’zz unhooked them all. I’m sure he’ll have a lovely weekend.”

"Do they bite?"

"Chronos, they're teenagers."

"Yes, but do they bite?" Tenko hisses as he anxiously adjusts his respirator for probably the hundredth time that day.

Thirteen looks at him as if questioning his sanity, and then sighs and turns away, and Tenko takes the opportunity to stick his tongue out at the hero. After all, Thirteen has an unfair advantage; they’re a teacher, and would be perfectly within their rights to expel all the snot-nosed brats if they so much as look at them funny. Plus their costume is probably reinforced steel, or something; the kids would just break their teeth if they tried biting them.

(And anyway, Tenko was a teenager not long ago; he remembers his classmates all too well. He's pretty sure at least half of them were actually up-and-coming villains scoping out their future opponents.)

The fish-demon was used to Hastur’s pauses. They often disconcerted other demons, but she knew what they were about. Hastur had a bank of set responses, a repository of phrases, physical movements and facial expressions that he had learned. He identified the appropriate situations for each one - looking for physical cues, listening for key words, watching how others reacted. Then he’d let the right set of maggots to take over his brain for the duration of the expected response.

Usually this meant he was pretty seamless at stringing together a set of actions and words. It could even appear, to the uninitiated at least, like he was reacting in an almost ‘normal’ way. However, give him an unexpected situation and it was different. Deviate from a routine, do something unexpected and Hastur was lost.

Dreams were something Hastur had caught last time they were both topside. Ligur had found the soul of a homeopath when they got back to Hell and had tried menacing her into telling them how to cure it. As far as he could find out, they were both incurable and often fatal, but he kept that to himself.

"Are you in LOVE with PHOENIX WRIGHT?”

“You have to kill me!” Miles shouted into the pillow. “I cannot go on like this! Unnecessary doubt is one thing, but I have never felt this way before and I abhor it!”

“I abhor it!” Franziska yelled. “I will not have that spiky-haired imbecile as a brother-in-law! How dare you fall in love with Phoenix Wright? You have met plenty of perfectly lovely prosecutors in Germany who would be happy to marry you and make you an even wealthier man, and you are enamored with a man who can only afford one polyester suit?”

“DO YOU THINK I DON’T KNOW THAT?” yelled Miles. “DO YOU THINK I LIKE THIS?”

"I have noticed some…creative editing on your behalf?" his voice rose lazily at the end, turning it into a question.

"Such as?"

He tapped the magazine again. "I noticed for instance, that in 'The Adventure of the Speckled Band' you have me proclaiming the highly melodramatic phrase "The band, the speckled band!" upon our discovery of that dreadful wretch Roylott. If I recall correctly, those were not the words I uttered. "

"Well, no." I scraped more eggs onto my fork. "That's because your actual exclamation of "BLOODY HELL" would not have made it into publication. At least, not the sort of publications I submit to."
