In the heart of Dystopia City, where tension hung thick in the air like a perpetual storm cloud, Isla and Ziggy found themselves entangled in a conflict between two rival groups—the Rust Ravagers and the Neon Nomads.
The Rust Ravagers, clad in makeshift armor, believed in the gritty resilience of the old world. On the other side, the Neon Nomads, adorned in fluorescent attire, embraced the idea of a vibrant future amid the ruins. Isla and Ziggy, an unlikely pair, were drawn into the feud with their own unique perspectives.
As Isla surveyed the tense scene with a critical eye, Ziggy twirled a makeshift flower in his hand, his carefree demeanor undeterred by the animosity around them.
"Alright, folks, let's take a step back and consider the bigger picture here," Isla suggested, her pragmatic nature cutting through the tension.
Ziggy, donning a charming grin, chimed in, "Life's too short for squabbles, my friends. How about we find a middle ground that's as stylish as a neon sunset but sturdy as a rusted relic?"
The rival leaders, Grit, the gruff Rust Ravager, and Blaze, the flamboyant Neon Nomad, exchanged skeptical glances but begrudgingly agreed to hear Isla and Ziggy out as nothing was getting resolved.
Under Isla's strategic guidance and Ziggy's attempts at unifying camaraderie, they proposed a collaborative project—a fusion of the Rust Ravagers' practical craftsmanship with the Neon Nomads' artistic flair. The goal? To transform a crumbling warehouse into a communal space that reflected both groups' identities.
Isla, with her no-nonsense attitude, assigned tasks with military precision, while Ziggy, with his misguided charm, attempted to inspire teamwork with anecdotes that often ended in awkward laughter.
As the Rust Ravagers and Neon Nomads worked side by side, Isla's focus on reinforcing structural integrity clashed amusingly with Ziggy's interception of motivational speeches.
"There's strength in unity, my friends. Imagine this sparkle of collaboration lighting up the gloom like a disco ball in the apocalypse!" Ziggy declared, unintentionally garnering more eye rolls than enthusiasm.
Yet, despite their differences, Isla and Ziggy somehow struck a balance. The warehouse, once a symbol of division, transformed into a unique fusion of rugged resilience and vibrant creativity.
As the project reached its completion, Isla and Ziggy stood side by side, watching the Rust Ravagers admire the sturdy craftsmanship, while the Neon Nomads marveled at the artistic touches that infused life into the once dreary space. Surprisingly, the members of the groups were having civil conversations and carefree laughter with one another.
Isla nodded at Ziggy, acknowledging their unconventional success. "Well, charm may not be my style, but I can't deny it has its moments."
Ziggy winked, "And who said practicality can't have a little pizzazz?"
The rival leaders, Grit and Blaze, approached Isla and Ziggy, their once-hostile expressions replaced with appreciation. "Maybe there's more to each other's approach than we thought," Grit admitted.
Blaze nodded, "The Rust and Neon blend ain't half bad. Like a funky dystopian harmony."
And so, in the heart of Dystopia City, the duo not only bridged the gap between the Rust Ravagers and Neon Nomads but also brought an unexpected splash of amusement to the conflict-ridden streets. In a city where tension reigned supreme, Isla and Ziggy proved that sometimes, a touch of rationality and a sprinkle of lightheartedness could create a harmony that echoed far beyond the ruins.
Summary: Lena tries to talk to Meg, but she ends up in a fight with the guards.
I'm a day behind, but still here.
Facts about my OCs:
Meg was inspired by a mix of several characters portrayed by Amy Acker, being the most obvious Fred from Angel (at the beginning) and Whiskey from Dollhouse.
While Lena was created inspired mostly by Sarah Shahi's character in Person of Interest, Sameen Shaw.
So, although they are my OCs and this is an original story that has nothing to do with POI, I use it as a way to keep shipping Shoot, just because I can.
