Since I have no original ideas of my own, so my story would be a blend of A Christmas Carol and a romantic comedy, based on my personal prejudices. Besides the acts in Vol 1, I really hate that Asami smokes and he is an inconsiderate smoker, lighting up regardless of time/place/location. The 3 ghosts will visit him and show him how things will be if he doesn't quit smoking. Akihito could end up with COPD due to second hand smoke (based on a true story) and the rom-com comes in because Asami is 12 years older, and if he gets sick, a hot, young doctor could come into the picture and try to steal Akihito away. Like I said, no imagination, but if it gets Asami to quit smoking, especially around Akihito, I'll be happy.
Asami and Takaba are sleeping after having spent couple time Dec.24. They paid no attention to the little news blip about the asteriod passing near earth that night. Suddenly the building stared to rumble and shake and sway. They woke and looked at each other,blinding light filled the room. they hugged" I love you" they said at the same as the city exploded. Asami awoke in a cold sweat. No more curry before bedtime, A Nightmare Before Xmas. Merry Xmas Every one
That sounds imaginative to me. :)
Nice--you have to love the "it was all a dream" technique.
I've been thinking about how most of Japan thinks Christmas is a romantic holiday and how many people here did not know "Trick or Treat" involved actual tricks, and I have concluded the word needs to watch fewer Hallmark movies and more Doctor Who (especially the holiday episodes). As the self-appointed representative of the darker side of yuletide traditions, I propose we outline a few Christmas ghost stories for Aki and Asami. I am not suggesting a full-out alien invasion of Tokyo on Christmas Eve (though if your mind takes it that way, I'm okay with it).
So what sort of supernatural visitation would you like to see your favorite characters face over the winter holidays?
ETA: Alternatively (for those who think that is too much like a full fanfic prompt), some of the characters (you pick whom) have traveled to a remote mountain lodge to negotiate some involved deal. You can decide where, as long as it is remote and it can snow there. It is December 24 and things are wrapping up when the lodge is hit by a snow storm which knocks out the cable and electricity, as well as blocking the roads. Luckily, there is a huge firepce (and wood), and food and strong, dark beer. They gather around the fire, and after eating, they decide to have a contest to see who can tell the scariest story. What kind of story would each character tell?
