Drabble #129: Preparation

[jalenstrix]

...we had a nice response to the drabble prompt of Drabble 128, with entries by redwolf and me (your intrepid drabble proposer jalenstrix, who finally got her act together again after a week's extension), and comments by us both as well. As always, special labyfic love to redwolf for adding entries and comments for many previous drabble prompts. Huzzah!





For this prompt, we continue with our one-word/phrase drabble roots:

Preparation

Preparation for what? Or who? And who's doing that preparation, and how? Tell us all about it. Labyfic-style, of course.




Given our entries from recent months, let's continue with the suggested limit for this month of 500 words. Though remember that shorter pieces are most definitely welcome!

Your entry should take the following format, posted as a comment on this entry:
Word count: # of words
Drabble: $your_beautiful_drabble


I'll aim to get the next drabble challenge out on the first Monday of next month (August 7).

I'm also very happy to take suggestions if something in particular strikes your fancy -- comment on this post or PM me with your suggestions. You can see our current collected suggestions here.


Remember: Feedback is LOVE. So do reply to your fellow labyficcers' drabbles if so inclined. (Though be careful of concrit unless specifically okayed by the author beforehand. Authors generally write for love.)

That's a delightfully insidious form of poisoning. You let that loose Above and it would kill off the bulk of the male population 🦊🧡
