Leave character and one-word prompt for ficlet. Ficlet will be at least 100 words but prob'ly not over 500.

Check the comments before leaving your prompts. If there are still two 'active' prompts for a character (ie. I haven't yet written the ficlet) then pick someone else.

Will try to be humourous, but am feeling distinctly blah, so cannot guarantee frivolity.

ETA:
Rodney: cheddar, Seattle
Ronon: retrieve, haircut, ballroom dancing
John: high heels
Michael: decades
Elizabeth: headache
Teyla: hickey, peace

I've only been through Seattle once during a road trip up to Vancouver. Hence, the lack of actual Seattle in this ficlet!
--

It wasn't until they were driving through Seattle on their way down to California that Rodney brought it up.

With Vancouver behind them (Ronon discovered Atlantic salmon and made significant inroads on the local salmon populace) and Mount St. Helens ahead of them (Teyla's time spent talking with Major Randall Vrsaljko had developed an interest in vulcanology, plus it was picturesque), they were heading down the I5, intending to pass through Oregon (Rodney's description of Oregon could be succinctly summed up in the phrase, "Boring. Next state!") on their way to San Francisco (John had hummed Frank Sinatra for nearly a minute before Teyla asked what he was singing and why did he not sing the words out loud).

"Did anyone else notice that Vancouver looks suspiciously like, oh, half the planets that we've been to in Pegasus?"

Bravo! Also, hilarious. There's actually a town in Oregon called Boring - did you do that on purpose? :)

Really? No, I didn't do it on purpose! Fortuitious coincidence!

Um, hon? Why would he be eating "Atlantic" salmon on the Pacific coast? :)

[tielan]

Um....fisheries?

We have salmon populations around Australia - I thought it was Atlantic salmon (that's usually what it's sold as) and I know the Japanese have a huge demand for Atlantic salmon, and they sit on the edge of the Pacific Ocean.

The first time I went to Vancouver, one of my friends from the mid-west went nuts over salmon - loves her fish, but doesn't get much of it out MO way - I just presumed it was Atlantic salmon.
