Spot the Skrull Challenge
Jul. 12th, 2008 11:28 pmI was talking to
rozk a few days ago, and she suggested that the current Marvel story line re. Skrull infiltrators suggests some interesting crossover possibilities. She also suggested I post a challenge, and I've finally remembered to do so.
The idea is simple - someone (or possibly several someones) in the fandom of your choice have been replaced by Skrull infiltrators, or possibly has always been a Skrull infiltrator. The challenge is to show what happens as a result...
For more on the Skrulls and the invasion see

Any genre you like, any pairing or none, my own preference is for short and funny but that's just me, write what you like. I'm not up to organising this as a ficathon or anything of that sort, but if anyone wants to run with this idea please post a link to your story as a comment below.

Well, that and an assault rifle.
I can't say anybody was surprised when the President was revealed to be an evil alien invader, but I must say it did take me back a little when the entire population turned out to be imposters, and I was in fact the only human being left on the planet.
Mind you, it did explain a lot.
Now if you will excuse me, there is a Skrull under my bed, and I have to introduce it to the high explosives.

Date: 2008-07-13 11:49 am (UTC)At first I thought it was one of the usual suspects, polyjuiced. But I doubt whether they are thick enough to do it twice - and polyjuice doesn't last that long. I spent three hours with Vincent - or whoever is in his place now - and noticed not so much as a half-checked effort to drink anything. Polyjuice lasts only an hour without replenishing. Case closed.
The moron shouldn't have taken the shape of someone I have known all my life. He should have been better briefed - sure, Vincent is no big brain, but he is not a complete retard, either. And I never saw him trip over his own two feet as this bloke often does. And he should not have waited weeks, giving me the time to understand what was going on and alert my father.
I suspect the attempt on me will be made tonight. My father and a few friends have been waiting for it every night now for a week. We have to be patient; if and when it comes, the thing in Vincent's shape will provide a fine subject for interrogation, and then for the Dark Lord's research experiments.
We shall hope that it has the real Vincent tied up somewhere so we can get him back. However, that is not what I would have done in his place. Ah, well.
