In a city like Vertigo, where many residents have ears larger than your entire body, it pays to show discretion in your storytelling.
OH HEY LOOK WHO'S BACK DOING THURSDAY PROMPTS. AND IT ONLY TOOK LIKE A YEAR AND A HALF TO GET BACK INTO IT.
No, seriously, I've got the last TP journal I'd completed still in my Journals list. It was a little shy of 17 months or so ago. For a while I'd been hoping to start posting them from that point forward and catching up over time, but the magnitude of the task intimidated me more than a smidge (and for a macrophile like me, that's saying something). This seemed like a good point to declare temporary literacy bankruptcy and start afresh-ish, although I do intend to go back and finish at least a handful of the many prompts I never completed beyond a vague outline or set of paragraphs.
Back to things you care about, though: this is a response to the latest Thursday Prompt, The Cup. The first thing I was able to come up with was that there was a Transformers character named Kup. I blamed that idea on playing too much War for Cybertron and tried again. Next idea was that Scott Pilgrim vs. the World has a carryable plastic cup item which can be swung and thrown for no damage at all, no matter what level you are. Skipped that one, too. Then I remembered that I'd once started to write a story where Erica temporarily imprisoned somebody under an empty drinking glass (don't worry, he totally deserved it). That, I could work with. Ended up with a decent-sized short story, too.
... No, wait, sorry. I don't think anyone cared about that information, either.
Oh, and to the many new people who have no clue who these people are or what's going on, it might be helpful to read the previous prompt response Dwaine is referencing. Not mandatory, but certainly explanatory.

This was an awesomesauce read! :D
I really had fun reading about Dwaine's retelling of Erica's story to Ann.
And for a three hundred and forty six foot, two inch, female husky, Erica's kinda not-thick skinned. I mean, dunking the contents of her "water-tower" sized soda cup on him, was that really necessary? XD

She's made it pretty clear to him that she doesn't like having her actual weight tossed around (I mean the numerical value, although I doubt she'd enjoy being bodily flung about). Despite that, he continues to blab about her literal tonnage. She's actually at a healthy weight for someone her size, but if you want to try telling a girl's friends behind her back that she weighs over ten thousand tons, don't expect me to stand within stomping radius of you!
