Barnes And Nobles Is Gonna Start Serving Food And Alcohol.

Barnes and Nobles is gonna start serving food and alcohol.

Everybody’s cracking jokes about how it’s a desperate attempt to stay relevant in the age of Amazon.

But you know what? Props to them. This is exactly what Blockbuster didn’t do. At no point was Blockbuster like “Hey, movie rentals aren’t the lucrative enterprise they once were. Perhaps it’s time we become known for our cheesy garlic bread.”

Prompt

A skilled but struggling actress is stunned when she is recruited by an unconventional team of criminals to be part of an elaborate heist that will rely on her improv abilities and charisma. Persuaded by the promised money, which is enough for her to travel to the city of her dreams to pursue her career, she second guesses her choice when she sees who else is on the team: an old rival who’s cheated her out of many a role.

The story is as always; heroes and villains, good vs evil. And there, between the black and white there’s you, the grey.

You are the information broker known as Delphi, neutral to both parties and able to assist either. You are known for having all the info, which can only be acquired with the right price. Some secrets cost just money, but the most valuable ones can only be paid with another secret of equal or higher value.

One day, in the middle of a great conflict, the hero meets with you, and asks you the key question. You warn them of the high price, because you are not sure if their secrets will pay it. The hero just grins, leans in and whispers.

You instinctively know that the secret they just told you is of even greater importance than the info they wanted. Shocked to the core, you numbly tell them what they came to know, and they grin, full of mischief and say:

“We’ll be seeing a lot of each other, from now on, Delphi.”

What would you do with Infinity Gaunlet?

1. Every person gets food, water, shelter, and food Wifi so long as they are willing to contribute to society in some way shape or form.

2. Remove all rapists, Serial killers, and human traffickers from existence. (Pedophilc rapists get EXTRA painful removal) and any person that attempts to do such crimes from then on will immediately combust.

3. Fix all issues with the climate and make it physically impossible for humans regardless of their actions to impact the climate.

4. Invincible Penguin army to establish peace.

5. Fix the airing schedule of season 3 of ML, as well as some of the episodes I have beef with.

6. Have Free cures created for all diseases and disabilities. (Thus allowing for 1. To apply to everyone.)

7. Make Child birth Painless.

8. Make it so Women only get pregnant when the Woman wants to, and thus making ultimate birth control. (Thus making it easier for woman to get pregnant when they want to and not get pregnant when they don’t)

9. Feminine care products are much more affordable.

10. It is impossible for any animal to harm a person.

11. Make it so only I can weild the infinity gauntlet, and I can not be murdered.

Prompt List: Ways to Meet

A list of ways for your characters to meet!

Get stuck in an elevator

Meet in a chatroom

A is part of the team that rescues B and others from bad guys/organization

A buys B as a slave

A is a pirate and B is the leprechaun guarding the gold

By coincidence, A and B go to the same roof at the same time to contemplate suicide

A is B’s court appointed lawyer

A is the captain of the ship that rescued B who was stranded on a deserted island.

Two strangers arrive at the same hotel late at night and there is only one room available. It’s the only hotel in town so they agree to share. (Bonus if there is only one bed and no couch)

Flying alone and sitting next to each other on the plane

A is in a rush and spills coffee on B

A is asked/forced to show B around the workplace/ school

A gets hurt at the amusement park/ restaurant/ movie theater/ zoo/ whatever where B works and B is the one to patch them up.

A goes on the Ferris wheel alone even though heights scare them (part of a dare) and freaks out. B, who works there, is the one to comfort them and coax them off the ride.

Traffic has been stopped dead for hours and people are getting out of their cars to stretch and complain. A and B’s cars are next to each other and they start chatting.

Forced to work together for a school or work project

Reaching for the same book at the library/bookstore (bonus if it’s on a really odd topic like how to commit murder or theories about bigfoot or how to speak to dogs or just anything unusual)
