Tyr ofic - please give me prompts?
So I know I still owe a bazilion things for that last writing meme, but I've got Tyr & his posse on the brain and I figure the story is never going to get anywhere if I don't even know where it's coming from.
Therefore, I need to explore things. I need to explore the AUness of a world that's a lot like ours except for low-level magic, and a military force that isn't fighting humans from time to time but stronger, faster humanoids on-and-off for centuries. I need to figure out how the war ended (they weren't singlehandedly responsible for it, but, would love to think they helped. I need more characters. I need their childhoods and their missions together and everything.
(note, i already know a lot about the weres and how they work, and about their enemies as well. it's mostly the human society and the characters' pasts i'm wondering about.)
Please ask questions, give me prompts. (not too poetic plz, because i tend to do very badly with those. XD) I'm not promising ficlets as a result, I'll try but I'm just hoping it'll sparkle in that great big cavernous thing that is my subconscious and I can start actually seeing what the hell is going on back there.
Also what do you guys think of "Territory" as a title? ... Actually I'm even more tempted by "Territoriality", I dunno, I like the way it sounds even better. Also the definition brings to mind animal behavior, which, um, yeah. It describes Tyr's behavior pretty well during the story. I'd love to say the story's about bringing social justice to poor werewolves and learning how to fit in blahblah, but the truth of the matter is that it's all about Tyr liking the look of that mountain over there, and deciding that here is home and fuck if i'm gonna leave. XDDD
In other news I am slowly, slowly chipping away at the next teamwork chapter. So to tide you over here's the first lines:

On the way to Naruto's hospital room they saw the kunoichi, the one who summoned wolves, and Sakura thought, 'she's faster than me but she'll be expecting posturing and glaring first,' and started calculating angles to box her in. She could see it unfolding in her head, keep walking like she didn't care and at the last second when they passed each other she would slip her hand free from Sasuke's and lash out, just one strike. She could break boulders. A ribcage should be fine.
Zenko didn't say a thing, barely looked at them, just one quick glance and then nothing. They crossed paths and kept going, ignoring each other.
Sakura still wanted to double back and strike. From the front, from behind -- whatever.
Kon blamed Naruto for his teammate, but she blamed them for Naruto, and when it came down to it she didn't care about how unfair that blaming game was, how unbalanced the losses were, it was sad and it sucked that Maneki had died and she would kill them if they came near Naruto again, if they tried to make it one inch worse for him.
She couldn't stand -- Naruto, broken, she couldn't stand that.
