The Arctic Cave

[ArcticAvenue]

Welcome to the only warm spot north of the cold.
Stealing the idea that has been stolen many times before, but most recently stolen from Vailyn, I've opened this thread as a place to capture things.

I have some ideas for this place, but we'll see if I can pull it off.

Brrrr! Cold! It's pretty though. Look at how the light plays in the ice!

Saturation

Somewhere along the line, someone invented a way to be able to cross your DNA with an animal, just to be something your not.

Story Ideas in Me Head

Here is a list of story ideas I am still willing to chat about and see what we can do with. It's listed in reverse order from when my mind came up with it.
Some of these became stories ... but I could consider variations (and I maybe too lazy to change the text ).


Newest Ideas

She Came With The House -- He just moved into the place, and it was everything he wanted for his single life. Small but comfortable. An old house in need of repairs. Great price, not only that it came with everything. Little did he know, it also came with one of the previous occupants. Well, to be specific, one occupant. Problem is, she thought she was still alive. She may had no idea how she died, or when, or why; no idea that after all this time she could be a little more physical. Yet now this guy seems to think her house is his.

Deserter -- They had been deep in enemy territory for months, but the tide of war had changed. No longer were they pushing forward. No longer were they well fed or supported by reinforcements. For weeks they were dug in, but now it seemed the enemy’s assaults were breaking through deeper and deeper. All the men knew how things were going. All the men knew how this was going to end. He was just the first one to act. Now he was a deserter, a man without an army, without a home, and all he could hope for was to find a place to hide until the war moved on to somewhere else.

Wine Country -- During the spring, the valleys think with vineyards are rich with the smells of blooming flowers, views of emerald covered hills, and streets jammed with tourists coming to sip and sniff and feel like they know a little bit about wine. He is almost a regular up in this valley, though he tries to visit many of the wine countries when he can; the way he tips, no one takes the time to mention these days why he does these tastings alone. He’s a survivor like most of the cab fruits around here. Her circumstances were different, she didn’t intend to come out here and end up by herself; but that’s what happens. This is all new, this is all fresh, like a buttery chard. At some point, they run across each other - but then, when do you want to mix reds and whites.

Nerds - She's a nerd. She’s an actual nerd. Real nerds are ashamed to be called nerds, not calls themselves nerds to be trendy. She’s not wearing an actual nerd costume for halloween, it’s how she actually dresses. She wears glasses because she needs them to see. She has black hair because of genetics not dye, and it’s short because long hair itches and is hot. She likes games, syfy, and nerd stuff not to be ironic, but because it’s good. Maybe she has color on her skin because she went eventing last week, and it was outside. She doesn’t do it to be cute or flirty. She isn’t like those girls that wear skinny jeans and flashy blouses. She’s not that classically pretty that all the cool boys want to talk to. Cute guys aren’t supposed to talk to her. He shouldn’t be talking to her. He’s not supposed to be into the same things as her, or to be funny, and interested in her. He should be … well he should be with someone else … not her. So … why does he keep talking to her.


Eight Shows a Week -- The play was well into it’s second year of a long run. But the demand of eight shows a week is rough on anyone, so when the old lead male stepped down; they brought in a guy successful on the travelling version. The problem was, the two leads knew each other, and hated each other. Somehow, they would have to go on stage, put on that they madly, passionately, and physically in love with each other for eight shows a week - the same that they couldn’t stomach speaking to any other moment of the day. Surely all that time on stage together won’t break that ice, surely.

2016 Ideas

Kessel Run -- (Based on an unnamed rogue movie series that recently was ‘awakened’). It was not an arguement of time, it was an arguement of distance. You can make the run going as fast as you want, but to avoid getting scooped up and spat out you need to take a route that avoids those looking to impound your ship. That’s why the right navigator will find the route that will get you there in the shortest distance for the best investment. That’s why he needs a good crew, and sitting in the smuggler’s canteen, he waited for the right co-pilot to add. Though, it was getting so late, he was about to get desperate. (Not looking to use direct cannon or specific characters .. but to be honest, a little difference in alien species maybe part of my ‘interest’).

Spoils of War -- The village put up a good fight, but the attackers were stronger and better prepared. They were warriors, with greater weapons, horses, and ways to tear down their walls. Now these warriors wash over the village and take with them the spoils. Of course, he was more of a dignified fighter, and grew to respect the more primitive villagers. Taking the ‘spoils’ is something he had never been all that interested in. Until he saw her. Yet she was a reward that he wasn’t quite prepared for.

Costume Party -- (Tis the season for the spooky stuff) They knew each other, co-workers and friends. They had a passing interest for each other, but both of them thought the other would probably be too boring or too down to earth to be any fun. At least not the fun they had individually planned on their own. They both decked out in the best costumes they had, so good no one would recognize them under the mask. The party was crazy, the drinks were everywhere, and at some point, two masked spooky people … well … sometimes you can leave the mask on while taking everything else off. Back to real life, something slipped to make them suggest that they might have to find out how ‘not boring’ the other one can be.

You Humble Me Lord -- (Idea so inspired by song lyrics, this time I rather I just share those and we can talk if you interested) Went out on a limb, Gone too far, broke down at the side of the road. Stranded at the outskirts and sun's creepin' up. Baby's in the backseat still fast asleep & dreamin' of better days. I don't want to call you but you're all I have to turn to. Heard you kicked the bottle, helped to build the church & you carry an honest wage. Is it true you’ve got someone keeping you company. What do you say when it's all gone away, baby I didn't mean to hurt you. The truth spoke in whispers will tear you apart no matter how hard you resist it.
It never rains when you want it to.

Gameshow Groupie -- He’s made it to the sixth day Super Plus Plus, and has won a slightly above average amount of cash and prizes. The modest amount will be nice for the run-of-the-mill guy, and will be remembered by most as ‘that one guy that got that one question right that one time’. Who would ever guess that this all means he gets the attention of a groupie. Yet there she was … and would do anything to meet the newest ‘six day’ winner. (Meant to be more humorous … a girl who is a little crazy about a pretty tame game; and a guy who is somewhere between confused and turned on by the attention).

Mermaid Lagoon -- Legend has it that men who go to the mystical lagoon on the nearby island never come back, that there are creatures there that hold a power over them. He is lost, broken, in need of something to survive, so he has no choice but to see the water and fruit that lie there. Yet what also lies there, he finds, is the mythical creatures known by sailors and fear by many - mermaids. One takes him under her fin, helps him, and he soon learns that the power they hold over man is far more carnal.

The Wrong Week, The Wrong Room -- Spring Break was the wrong week to have a business meeting in the warm part of the country, and he was pretty pissed that the hotel was full of co-eds focused more on getting their tans and getting drunk then getting out of his way. All that half-naked flesh though was making the nights all that more frustrating. Then when one of them stumbled into his room when he left the door ajar, he was about to throw a fit. Instead, he took advantage of the situation.

All Grown Up -- Roles reversed, that’s the easy way to explain it. After he got his Medical License, he found a nice clinic to work four days a week as a family practitioner - enough time off to be social around the big city bars and clubs. It’s a far cry from his high school days when he seemed always to be outside looking in on the popular crowds. She, especially, was one he looked into. He was envious of those who were near her; he left wondering what it would be like to be with someone special like her. Returning home briefly, he finds she is still living there. Two kids, divorced, working, and wondering what it would be like to break free of it all and be in the big city. Envious of a life, like his. Amazing how growing up changes can reverse those roles.

Princess in Hiding -- Her father, the king, is dead. Her uncle made a claim to the throne that was recognized by many of the Dukes, backed by the army. To legitimize the claim, the uncle does what all do in such an occasion - call for her head. That was weeks ago, and all those who helped her escape and run to the countryside had either left to gather more support or fallen in the attempts to hide her. Now she is far from the gilded life she knew as a child, alone, needing help, and the only one seemingly kind enough to do so is simple born, Yet she knows in order to grant him any thanks, she will need to hide her true bloodline from her helper.

Road to Hope -- Society has ended, and they are running. Out here in the plains, there never been that many people; of course since the event happened there aren’t many people anywhere. Maybe people are running here because all that space means there wasn’t the anarchy like there was back in the big cities. That’s what makes him run out here at least. That and a rumor of that one place that could be ‘that place’. Maybe that is what makes her run this way too; but with the world broke down the dangers for her are much worse. Running out here means you fight to make sure you can survive on their own, these two though come together so they can reach ‘that place’. A place where it’s rumored you don’t have to keep running anymore.


Work Study -- There’s a girl he likes at school. She is sweet, cute, kind, and with the more he talks to her the more he likes her. She works all the time, so it’s hard to date, but he thinks he can convince her to go with him to prom. His father though thinks that now that he is 18 he needs a little experience, so he takes him to the local brothel. The girl he picks there is beautiful, sexy, and experienced -- though under the makeup and wig is that same girl he is falling for in school. Can she keep the secret? Will she keep the secret?

Country Girl / City Boy -- It was the worse place for his car to break down, not just on a fairly empty road but outside of cell range. Luckily out here in the country he can rely on the kindness of strangers, and not just to get the car fixed. ((This is more concept than developed idea at the moment, it just throws back to those old stories about guys getting “in trouble” with a farmer’s daughter.))

Not Like This -- Well folks … this is it. All the heros failed, all the last chances are done. The world will come to an end pretty soon. We all we are going on; so we just don’t want to go out like this. We all had a bucket list, some of it full of some pretty weird stuff .. well, we just got a couple weeks left to knock those things off. So these two people, in search for something fun and exciting as much to take their minds off the impending doom find each other, and those bucket list items just start falling off the list. (Inspired by a mix of ‘Seeking a Friend for the End of the World’ and ‘This Is The End’ - intent is to be lighthearted mostly, but asking the question what we would want to do if we know the clock is ticking).

Evil Lair -- Evil Wins! His Evil genius of a plan was equal parts diabolical and ... well, Evil. While the Town's superhero suffers from his Evil Pain Ray, the damsel is now in the evil genius's Lair of Evil. Now she sits in his lair, and he can demand whatever ransom he wishes. Yet his Evil plan didn't include all this time now he had to wait, or how his lair is less of a prison for his captive and more of .. well ... just an uptown apartment; and now how his new guest was so not evil, sweet actually. After a while, he doesn't think so much about ransom, or for that matter, evil. (Partially inspired by Dr Horrible's Sing-a-long blog)

Ghost Hunters -- They are a team of ghost hunters, self-proclaimed paranormal nerds who every few weeks get access to some place with reports of spooks. They get out their cameras & recorders, scan for emf changes, and gather relentless data for further analysis; and they are a good at it too. They make a good team. A team, that’s what they are. No they aren’t dating or anything. Just friends. Friends … right? Yeah, that’s all … just friends. One night they get a chance to investigate an old manor with reports of hauntings from old witches. That night they both are overcome by something, something that they both lose themselves in the moment. And do they ever lose themselves.

Invisible Man-Child -- Working on your post-grad for chemistry means you get to play around a lot in the lab. When a mix of things goes wrong, he realizes he accidently created a compound that renders the body transparent - as in invisible, like right out of those movies. Working on your post-grad for chemistry, there is only one good use for technology like this, and there is a girl’s dorm next door to make that happen.

Dragonslayer -- (Inspired by the 80s movie of the same name) He is a young Dragonslayer, blessed with the gift to bring down the magical lizard. A city, tormented by such a beast, appease the creature by sacficing virgins, but a small band of villagers lead by a spunky 'boy', seek out the Dragonslayer to save them. In the journey to the village, the slayer finds the 'boy leader' is actually a girl, hiding her true identity to avoid becoming a sacrifice. Yet trying to help maintain her secret doesn't stop him from feelings for her.

2015 Ideas

Life is for the Living -- He’s a widower in his late thirties, nestled into a middle-managed career complete with a decent home in a clean neighborhood with a well kept lawn. Even while his wife was alive, they were not known for much in terms of excitement. He tinkers, shuffles, and puts in his working hours with all the interest of paint drying. In a word, he is boring. In a word, she is not. She comes into his life like a wrecking ball of mayhem that as much destroys any chance he has of his beloved simplicity, as it does giving him reason to learn what he maybe missing.

Marooned -- It’s day 21. They count, because that helps with the sanity. The liferaft got them both here, and at first they were sure it would be a day or two at most. But now it’s day 21. The makeshift shelter is no longer makeshift. The chores of finding water and foot are not chores but just what you do. They are strangers, were strangers, but now at Day 21, sharing this ordeal has led them to start to feel something more that just shared castaways.


Time Traveler -- He was far from a tinkerer, he was a builder. He had always made new inventions to better the lives of the people of the town, and his solitary work. Her overly and impish curiosity of all the things the man does leads to her finding his masterpiece in work - a time traveling machine. Yet to work, she prods and pokes until she finds he has more carnal intentions with the device -- he isn’t as much witnessing great periods of the past, but ‘witnessing’ great women of the past, ‘witnessing’ & returning back in time without getting caught. Once she figures this out, it lights her own fantasies, and she takes things from there.
(Some notes on this: My first vision is that this is a steampunk story, but I am not committed to it. The way I see this there are two ways we could write it: It could end up being they make the time machine go off on their own and we can tell their exploits in back and forth posts, but it leads them to explore each other too. Alternatively, this could be played that the machine never gets built, and she seduces him with a little roleplay of the historical women he was interested in. We can talk if you are interested.)


I Am The Pirate King -- “Hurrah, Hurrah for the Pirate King”. Why? Well .. It is It is a glorious thing to be the Pirate King. He is a pirate captain ready to see what he can find in a port-of -call. She is … well, let’s talk about that, because can go at this a lot of ways. She could be just a local girl who steals the heart of the pirate. She could be a saucy wench quick with sharp word enough to keep up with the nastiest of pirates. She could be one who comes to our anti-hero willingly, or one that puts up a fight. Whatever we work, I am sure it will be a glorious thing to be a Pirate King (‘s co-writer).

Say Goodbye -- It was the perfect vacation resort, paradise beachfront heaven. Today they meet on the sun soaked sands. Tonight they let paradise remove their inhibitions. Tomorrow, they say goodbye expecting to never see each other again. Once home from paradise, they find they are now around each other and often. And things are more complicated than they were in Paradise.

Fallen -- He was once one of the chosen ones, an immortal somewhere between God and man. Those days are long gone, cursed to the earth, cursed to eternity carrying his curse. Wings cut from shoulders and left to await the end of days. Then she came along, the one human who seemed to know he was from something else, and possibly the solution to restoring what once was fallen.

Return of the Nymph -- The group found it earlier that day, a circle of stones long since worn by the natural world. Something in him, though, ate at him until he left the camp, followed the trail by the light of the moon, and arrived at the site. He was guided further by some instinct to feed the center alter just a touch of water from the nearby spring. Then she came forth, returned to the life, and she choose to repay his kindness.

At the King’s Mercy -- She is strong, a born leader, and the undeniable leader of a blood army set on fighting for any cause with a rich enough ruler in need of their aggressive ways. She’s arrived at a Land whose army may be weak but he certainly isn’t. When a court full of soldiers makes for poor negotiations, they move to his chambers. There the negotiations break down, he gains the upper hand, and forces himself onto her. As strong as this woman is on the battlefield, his hands on her the way no man ever has brings out a weakness that lights a fire in her like no other. (This is pictured as a reluctant start to a light D/s result - please review my SRP to know more of my approach to this).




2014 Ideas:

Reunion -- Class reunion, where two people who spent their childhood harboring secret crushes see each other for the first time in years. With age comes the boldness that childhood fantasies keep quiet.

Student Body -- Professor / student story. I have two characters developed in my head. One where the professor is happily married but meets a student driven to be successful on her own; together they can't deny their feelings. Or it could be played where he has to confront one more stuck-up full of themselves student and when alone with her during an office hour takes her to give her a real lesson.

Soccer Mom -- He coaches her kid's team. He's cute, athletic, and the dream of all the other Soccer mom's. She's happy to let the girls have their dreams and just treat him like the the coach. So why does he seem to treat her special instead?

Remember the TinMan -- Inspired by a show I saw recently, I thought it would be neat to explore the darker interpretations of the Wizard of Oz. Specifically, taking the story to move on after the "original movie" that a tinman now finding a heart has to move on from losing a girl that helped him to find it. I want to explore a story that doesn't follow the original, and allow it to become our own entity, so probably would take a fair bit of back and forth before we jump in.

From Out of the Cold -- He lives off the grid, far from modern conveniences. It's the winter trapping season and he is out here for the duration. Until someone arrives out here with no means to get back to civilization. While they figure out how to get her home, they grow closer.

The Specialist -- She had the offer of her dreams. One week camp with the specialist that will take her game to a whole new level. This could mean best in class or All-American or the Olympics or who knows how high. What she doesn't know is his techniques are quite controversial. (Pick your sport, any would likely fit)


2013 Ideas:

Rumspringa -- Before they enter a long life following Amish ways, younger members of the community is allowed to experience life in the outside world. Many end up being challenged to ask themselves if they stay in the outside world or return back to all of what they know. Two ways to play this - two Amish friends since childhood try the big city, which brings them closer -- my Amish guy in the big city overwhelmed and taken in by a nice woman (lots of possibilities about her we could talk about).

Enemy -- Sci-fi themed; two humanoid alien races at war with each other when two of their fighters end up stranded and have to work together to survive. Though aggressive to one another at first, things change.

Mall Rat -- You are some kind of non-conformist (goth or dread locked or just raging against society) college woman who gets through her days working at the mall judging everyone who comes through. I'm a recent military Vet who has a beef with 'ungrateful kids'. Having to deal each with her to a boiling point, he exerts his will on her while she seems to find a bit of a sub side of her own.

Because your favorite Arctic Avenger is away to places do far north that everything else is both warmer and south .. Our little snow bunny Vailyn decided to torture him with dreamlike photos of what one might find when out on the hunt.

Hunting for Snow Bunnies

Was away from home for a while hunting for snow bunnies. Didn't bring any home, but I did spot a few:

Something More In Our Dreams

 

[ArcticAvenue]

Where my mind finds itself tonight. Where it would be nice to be. Where I wish I could be this good of a writer:

From the entrance to the exit
Is longer than it looks from where we stand
I want to say I'm sorry for stuff I haven't done yet
Things will shortly get completely out of hand
I can feel it in the rotten air tonight
In the tips of my fingers
In the skin on my face
In the weak last gasp of the evening's dying light
In the way those eyes I've always loved illuminate this place
Like a trashcan fire in a prison cell
Like the searchlights in the parking lots of hell
I will walk down to the end with you
If you will come all the way down with me
​

Nah! I don't think I want to go down to the parking lots of hell but I'll walk down to the end with you.
