Accident Drabble

[dwgm]

I was on my way home from the Japanese Take Out place (Shirmp & Tempura Udon, and Chicken Curry, and an Almond Milk Tea with large boba) when this drabble came to me, like a Vision. This week's theme is "Accident(s)".

~~ Chance Meeting ~~

They met quite by accident.

A bit of a splash and a roar from the battlements— Elizabeth!— and he’d found himself taking the role of Reluctant Hero. He wondered what sort of Elizabeth allowed herself to come to such a pass, but soon found out ‘allowed’ wasn’t quite the right word.

Damned corset! Came near to killing her, though her Da didn’t seem to see it in that light.

And Norrington: the Scourge of Piracy. What did the fool think he was up to? Robbery? Or ravishment? With those bloody Marines right there?

Yes. An accident. Pure happenstance.

Wasn’t it?

In other news, I found out I am getting my work computer upgraded with the DVD burner I wanted, AND 1 gig of RAM (WhooHoo!). Also got received my new scanner today, so I will have much fun with that tomorrow.

Must eat the Udon & Curry now, and hopefully finish that fic I've been working on, and then (if I can stay awake) read and edit for ladywarringford, and give feedback to fabu and the_dala and viva_gloria (An Alchemical Prescription!! Yes!!).

Re: That was so cool!

the_dala has a particular favorite of mine -- 'Miranda and the Tempest' by John William Waterhouse. Wonder why that one appeals, eh? ;)

Ha! They aren't hard to make if you have a graphics program, like Photoshop or something. They just have to be 100x100 pixels., and less than 40k (I think). Or, you can gack them from others, which I have done quite often. There are lots of icon communities (potc_icons is one). There's info on them in the LJ FAQ's.

So happy you liked the drabble--your turn now! It's just 100 words. ;)
