Title: Those People With the Cards
Rating: R for frank discussions of death
Word Count: 1,725 (aprox.)
Characters, Pairings: Snob/Luke, the Nostalgia Critic, Obscuras Lupa, Oancitizen, Diamanda Hagan, the Minions, Phelous, Linkara, Luke and all of the Inners: Philip, Ringo, Donny, James, Stanley, Lucas, Ralph, Guy, Neil, Wretch, Scott, Terry, and Dave.
Spoilers: For To Boldly Flee
Disclaimer: I do not own the Machine of Death (franchise?) and highly encourage you all to go buy the book, subscribe to their podcast, and buy their swag. I mean no offense to any of the people whose characters are featured herein, these are all meant to be fictional characters and not the actors themselves.
Warnings: Mentions of suicide. Discussion of how people will die. Intense dwelling on death and dying. Drug use. Overall depressing situations.
A/N: Ok, so there’s this thing called Machine of Death. It’s this idea made up in a Dinosaur Comic, what if there was a machine that took a sample of your blood, and spat out a card that told you how you would die? Not the time or specifics, just a word or a couple of words, vague and sometimes ironic or cruelly unspecific. Nobody know show or why it works, but it’s always right and never changes. How would that change society, how people live and chose to go about their daily lives? There was a contest a while back and the winners were put into an anthology, which you can buy as a book or download as an ebook now. They’re also putting out audio versions of the stories for free on iTunes, read by the authors themselves sometimes. A second volume is in the works and I can’t wait. I don’t know why I got into this premise but I did in a big way last year. And I got the idea to do this because … I honestly don’t know.
There’s no real rhyme or reason to the characters I chose to write about in this. They’re just the ideas that hit me right away. If there’s interest I’ll write more.
