Test this randomized creative writing/world-building exercise for me?
If this turns out to be good I'm gonna keep it in my back pocket for the next time I have a psych patient who really likes to creatively write (...and is also not actively detached from reality LOL)
Mythic Greek World
Rescue
Fierce Barbarian
Serial Killer
Eager Apprentice
Androids
trying to find a way to work all these components together (especially the androids) is an interesting thought process, though i think having them be divinely powered is what i’m leaning towards. like, no one knows how they work, and so they kind of revere them.
for the rescue plot, i think the eager apprentice sounds like the right one to need rescuing. too eager, not careful enough maybe. captured by serial killer i suppose, who could be an android for extra funsies, and the barbarian main character gets to go save them. probably all while realizing/coming to terms with the fact that they actually DO like the apprentices company and miss them, despite finding them very annoying in the beginning.
i think it’s a cool idea and gets you to stretch some creative muscles with connecting some unrelated ideas and imagining what a story involving these elements might be like :)
