If your MC was to teach as a career, what would they teach?

—Applied Laziness. It's a mix of art, philosophy, science, and even religion, and you must put a lot of effort to do it right, but once you master it, you're free. Believe me. I was a Master Sluggard at 25. It took me years of study and work but the reward was worth the all the pain and suffering. That or maybe martial arts. But my training in the aforementioned discipline would make difficult for me to learn martial arts, so I'll stick to Applied Laziness.

If your MC could pack up and leave for a holiday/vacation today, where would they be off to?

—To the most remote beach in the world. One on a unknown island in the middle of the pacific, for example. Or to a certain icy moon of saturn. Why? Ha! Everywhere I go, there are at least 5 hitmen trying to kill me because of my day job. That can lead to lots of innocent people injured. I don't want that in my conscience. And look at me. This is my work uniform. Imagine my bathing suit. Or not, don't do that. I'd rather not torture people with such sights.

That works, too. But therapy for them could ruin you. The DEL option is cheaper…=)

First thing ever purchased with your own saved money?

—Ah. The very first thing was a lollipop bag. I saved a month's of allowance. My dentist was happy. Now, the first important thing was Queen's Greatest Hits Deluxe Collection. Cost me 2 months of paychecks. It contained the 4 greatest hits albums and a book with the band's history. As if I needed that to know all about them. The 4th was mostly reworked demos but, hey, those were real Queen songs, not like the 79's "last Beatles album". Those were just remixes and a few overdubs.

"I'm never volunteering again"

Those were Mirelle Scheleintzer last words in her personal log.

They found an abandoned space station on their way back to Sol System. Nobody wanted to go there. She, "The Brave Schelz" as they called her since her academy days, proclaimed "I'll go, wusses!" and so she did.

"This thing is still working", Schelz reported. Comms failed on her side. When her crew went to her rescue they found her LT-EVA suit free floating, empty…

Let's hope that next time that musical anomaly surfaces is as good (IMO) as this one. I've watched the episode 3 times at the moment and I like it more with every re-watch. The galaxy needs more K-Pop… And what a way to end a relationship! >=)

To the untrained eye, this monstrosity is infecting the human with some alien disease. But that's no what's happening. That little alien is a healing worm. We have no idea where that human put his hand but he got some nasty illness that no human doctor has been able to cure. But Raidian medicine is so advanced that one hour with the worm and you're healthy again, and ready to put your hands where you want to. And, in fact, we do know where is that…=-|

Thank you.

As I've said before, more than once these prompts have helped me solve some problem with an idea/scene/whatever. And the character limit is a great challenge…=)

Write about the most recent gift you gave someone.

—I gift affection or money-cards. It's cheaper and easier to carry…Ok. Ok. Sometimes I gift physical things. It always ends badly. Last time I gave something to someone was to A…to her a necklace. Cost me several months of work. White gold with two small diamonds. It was beautiful. Everyone told me that. Everyone except her. "Cute, thanks", she said. If my self-esteem hadn't been so low by then, I'd been crushed. I knew that was going to happen, yet I still did. You know that Her Ugliness call me "idiot" all the time? Well, she's right. And you tell her I said that, I advise you to find a new reality to live…
