PROMPT POST PART III
Please see the most recent MOD NOTE
(updated 6 June)
Welcome everybody. How you got here I have no idea but thank you for coming and welcome again, nonetheless . As you may have gathered this is a Fic Prompting Meme dedicated solely to the hilarious and oh-so-addictive BBC Radio 4 sitcom - Cabin Pressure. I'm aiming for this to be pretty anything goes - but in order for everything to run smoothly, there are a few guidelines. Don't worry - they're not too restrictive.
FILLING GUIDELINES
As you probably all know - our meme now has it's very own database created and maintained by the great Enigel. It both catalogues each and every prompt that we post and provides links to fills. You can find it here: Google Spreadsheet
We also have a Pinboard archive which has been put in place by the lovely
oxfordtweed in the place of our late Delicious Archive. This Archive contains a list of all the prompts this meme has to offer - you can find it here: Pinboard ArchiveThis is a great step forward in making our meme just a little more organised (but not too organised of course. This is Cabin Pressure) which is always a good thing.
So in order to make things easier to archive - Please nest your fills.
This can be done by either posting each part as a reply to that part's immediate predecessor, OR by replying each time to Part I OR - well you get the idea :D
It makes it simpler for Enigel and myself to link fills in a clean and clear manner. Following these guildelines will be very much appreciated guys :D
REPROMPTING
Reprompting is allowed but please include the URL of the original prompt when you do so. It will make it infinitely more easy to Archive which would make both Enigel and I very happy :)
As for everything else
- Be respectful to one another. Disagreements are fine, but not everything disagreeable is trolling. If you suspect someone of trolling, just ignore it. If you cannot respond to a comment without attacking or trolling someone else, keep it to yourself.
- No bashing prompts. It might not be your cup of tea - but obviously someone wants it enough to go to the effort of requesting it. So just scroll past it.
- Prompt away as much as you like guys - seriously, go wild - but please try to fill as well.
- Please no RPF. I'm not trying to oppress you RPF writers and enthusiasts, I would just really like to avoid any legal problems.
- When you post a fill (or post a new part of a WIP) please go over to the Filled Prompts Post (if it is complete) or the WIP Post (if there are still more parts to come) and, following each post's guideline's, post a link to this fill or new part.
NEW - If your fill includes a major element that veers from the original prompt (crossovers, established universes, kinks, et cetera), please take a few moments to check with the OP that such additions are welcome. This has caused problems in the past and it only takes a few moments of your time.
REALLY IMPORTANT ADDENDUM
According to numerous Child Safety laws it is illegal to provide pornographic material to minors. Seeing that the majority of the stuff we have here is rather adult in nature, this Meme is consequently an 18+ zone. Failing to comply to this rule could result in the Meme getting shut down. So if you're here and you're under 18 please back button now.
+ Please do not post anything regarding minors in a sexual situation. It really doesn't matter how tasteful or crass it is, there are laws that classify that sort of thing as child pornography and as such, I'm afraid we're going to have to go with the attitude that safe is better than sorry.
It really is VERY important that these rules are upheld as the consequences are severe.
Other than that - go crazy guys. Any problems please just message me and I'll try my best to work it out.

5 Times Martin Flirted with His Girlfriend (And 1 Time He Didn't)
(Anonymous) 2012-03-13 01:29 am (UTC)(link)"Bristol ATC, this is Golf Tango India requesting a weather report."
"Golf Tango India, this is Bristol ATC. Weather is pleasant. Wind blowing north east at two-point-seven miles per hour. Bright sunshine. No clouds."
"Ah...sounds like a brilliant day for a picnic."
"Does it? Y'know, funny story, my boyfriend is coming in this afternoon and he was suggesting just the same thing."
"Really? Well, great minds, I guess."
"Yes, I guess. Were...were you suggesting something, Golf Tango India?"
"Well, I was, but you sound like you're spoken for."
"Not necessarily. I am a strong, intelligent, independent woman, after all. I can do whatever I want. With whoever I want."
"And...could this...who...include a single, strapping, intelligent pilot."
"Golf Tango India, you are clear to land, and clear to show up to the picnic on the bridge."
"Fifteen hundred hours?"
"Fif--! Whoops! Nope! Might be a little late so...sixteen hundred?"
"Sixteen hundred works. I'll see you then."
2.
"Bristol ATC, this is Golf Tango India. Requesting clearance for emergency diversion."
"Golf Tango India, this is Bristol ATC. What is your emergency? Is everyone okay? Martin--"
"Everything is fine. Don't worry, darling, no one is hurt. It's just...just, um..."
"Martin?"
"Oh, god, this is embarrassing, but, someone...someone in Fitton, mind, in Fitton, no one on the plane forgot...toclosethegascap."
"Oh, bless, I was so worried it was something serious. I mean, it is, but no one is hurt? Everyone's fine?"
"Yes, yes. Everyone's fine."
"Oh, thank god. I don't know what I would do if something had happened to you. I mean, to the plane, everyone on the plane, but, well, are you alone?"
"No, no, uh, Douglas is here."
"Oh...hello Douglas."
"Hello Alyssa. How has your day been?"
"Oh, boring. Um, Martin, I'll talk to you when you land. I'll give you first priority. Strip three is free and you're clear to land."
"Okay. I'll see you in a bit."
3.
"Bristol ATC, this is Golf Tango India."
"Gold Tango India, this is Bristol ATC. What is your request?"
"Requesting a small chat with a beautiful lady."
"Request granted. How are you, doll?"
"Better, now that I'm hearing your wonderful voice."
"Oh, you. You flatter me too much, Martin."
"Am I? W-Well, that's what I'm trying to do, but is it too much?"
"You better be happy that I find your self-doubt one of your most adorable attributes."
"R-Really?"
"Yes. It reminds me of a puppy. It just makes me want to cuddle with you and nuzzle my nose against your neck. Kind of like how last weekend--"
"A-Alyssa! Douglas--"
"Oh! Is he--"
"Yes, he is. B-But...um...I know what you're talking about."
"Oh. Really? Good. So...did you like it? I mean...what happened last weekend?"
"Yes. Yes. Totally, I mean, I don't, uh, I don't know how I couldn't. And I...I was surprised by how...how eager...you...were."
"Well...you are my dashing Captain. Why shouldn't I be eager?"
"Well, huh, that's true, I guess."
"And, I would like to say, a lot of my...eagerness...was in response to your...attentiveness."
"Really?"
"Yeah. I mean...wow, y'know. Never felt that...y'know--before."
"W-Well, I--"
"Good morning, chaps!"
"Uh, Alyssa, I'll call you later. Arthur just walked into the deck."
"Oh, yes, no, I understand. I'll talk to you later. On the phone. Where no one can hear."
4.
"Golf Tango India to Bristol ATC."
"Bristol ATC to Golf Tango India. What is your request?"
"O-Oh. Oh. Y-You're not--"
"Alyssa? No I'm not. I'm-- Alyssa, I got this. No, I got this. I--...fine, fine. Here's your boyfriend."
"Martin?"
"Alyssa."
"Oh, god, I'm sorry. I was in the toilet and, and--"
"No, it's okay. Just wanted to make a quick call while Douglas was in the toilet. I wanted to tell you that you looked absolutely beautiful in that picture you sent me this morning."
"Really?"
"Yes. Amazing. You are going to be the most beautiful bridesmaid at the wedding. In fact, I think you might even give the bride a run for her money."
"Oh, Martin. You're too sweet."
"Is it being sweet if it's being honest?"
"Aw...you're too good for me."
"O-oh, um, well, I-I'm only trying to be half as good to you as you are to me. 'Cause you're...you're the most amazing thing that's happened to me."
"Martin...I--"
"Oh! Douglas!"
"OH! Hi Douglas. Bye Martin."
"Bye Alyssa."
"Goodbye, Alyssa."
5.
"Golf Tango India to Bristol ATC."
"Bristol ATC to Golf Tango India. How is your day, sweetie?"
"Oh, same-old. Today's a short cargo flight so I was wondering if, upon return, you would be interested in a quick date."
"A quick one?"
"Yes. A quick one. You know, a quick dinner at La Vuitton..."
"La Vuitton?!"
"...and then a quick trip to a theater where we shall watch a riveting performance of La Boheme."
"La Boheme? But...but that's been sold out for weeks!"
"I know. I have a friend who very generously gave me his tickets after his lady-friend turned them down."
"You asked Dad for his tickets?"
"Carolyn, actually, took them from him and threw them in my face this morning. But!--if you're interested--"
"Oh, Martin, you know how much I love La Boheme. I really don't care how you got those tickets, I'm just so happy to get a chance to see it!"
"Great. I'm glad you're happy."
"Great. What time?"
"Oh, we'll be done with this around fifteen hundred, you get off at sixteen hundred? I think I'll be 'round to pick you up at eighteen hundred? Will that give you enough time to change and get ready?"
"It should, yes. Alright, I'll make sure to leave on time tonight. Now, I have to go because Jess is giving me the stink-eye."
"Oh, yes, I don't want to get you into trouble with her. Okay. I'm off. See you later."
"See you."
1.
"Golf Tango India to Bristol ATC."
"Bristol ATC to Golf Tango India. What is your request?"
"Hmm...you're not Alyssa."
"And you're not her simpering boyfriend."
"Yes, Martin has been banned from calling Bristol ATC unless there is a serious emergency, such as when we have only one engine or the apocalypse has dawned upon the Earth or when I'm dead."
"Alyssa's been banned too. If there is a plane in the vicinity that involves the letters 'Golf', 'Tango', or 'India', she is, by law, tied to her chair and forced to let someone else talk into the microphone."
"I like the way you think. What is your name?"
"I'm Jessica. Jessica Young. And you are Douglas Richardson?"
"Does my fame precede me?"
"Alyssa's gossip precedes you. I can't quite call that fame, Mr. Richardson."
"Well, I can confidently inform you that you have never been mentioned in this flight deck."
"Is that an attempt to insult me, Mr. Richardson?"
"It might be."
"And to think, such an infamous man would go so low to insult air traffic control."
"Ah, my lovely ATC, you just said that I had no fame in your tower."
"Well, maybe I was lying."
"Do you lie often?"
"I have lied approximately three times during this conversation. Would you like to guess what I've lied about?"
"I would, but I only called for a weather report."
"Oh..."
"However, since we are landing for a brief fuel-up in your neck of the woods, I wouldn't mind playing your guessing game over lunch."
"I wouldn't mind that either. Let me just move the other three men who've asked for my lunch."
"Is that a lie?"
"You'll have to meet me to find out."
"I wait eagerly for your weather report and for the time and location of our lunch."
"Weather is moderate cross wind and mildly cloudy. Time and place is Bristol Airport Staff canteen half an hour after you land."
"Copy that, ATC. I'll see you in an hour."

(Anonymous) 2012-03-14 06:37 am (UTC)(link)Yep, she's Herc's daughter. Which came as a bit of a surprise to me. I was just writing and she said that line and I thought for a good two minutes if that was even possible.
Because my fanfiction needs logic in it.
Inconvenient? How so?
I'm so happy you like it, OP. :)
