prompts
‣ an exotic foreigner has been captured from a faraway land and brought to the palace for entertainment. crown prince(ss)/palace guard/attendant/etc is enraptured by their passionate beauty, and in no time it seems as though the enslaved dancer has them wrapped around their little finger. seems like just another slightly scandalous affair, but does this entertainer have other motives?
▹ political intrigue. deception. maybe their capture wasn't so unexpected. why are they so good at using a sword? found them snooping where they shouldn't and they keep using that same old excuse of "language barrier" but i saw them reading sacred texts. do they... know someone here?▹ flip it around—captured foreigner x the informant who made sure they got captured so that they could complete whatever their job is here. foreigner/assassin/etc working with the nerd who infiltrated this kingdom years ago just so that they could prepare for this job.
‣ my family's mountain spring used to be a place of pilgrimage, but no one has visited in years. i am alone now, tending to its sacred waters, waiting for any traveler who might be brave enough to climb the peak and bathe in the richness of divinity.
▹ there is some spirit who has taken up residence on my mountain—i see them as an elk, crowned with bone—i see hoofprints in fresh morning snow that shift into footprints, leading to the springs. loneliness has overcome me; if i am alone, then maybe so are they. perhaps they'd enjoy the company? but how does one befriend a mountain god? (i've got more overarching plot ideas for this)
‣ you found it in a back alleyway, shot through with bullet holes, its flesh parted to reveal a titanium husk beneath, leaking bind fluid. cyborgs this sophisticated don't venture this far into the circumstellar belt. maybe you can salvage a few parts to sell...? or you would, if it didn't suddenly grab your throat with its half-rotted hand. (also have more plot ideas for this)
