Exercise Ten: Gang Intervention

11/17/2012

I’m fiddling around with an idea with a bunch of vigilante women at the moment. They’re fun characters to write, but they need something to do. So this week I’m gonna brainstorm ten reasons a “good” gang might help out.

Stalky Ex
Anna goes to the gang because her ex-boyfriend has been following her home after work.
The gang hold him down and tattoo STALKER on his forehead.

Drug Debt
Richard goes to the gang for help because another gang are threatening to break his legs for drug money.
The gang agree to pay the other gang in exchange for Richard legally working for the money at their auto wrecking yard... but if he doesn’t keep his end of the deal, THEY’LL break his legs.

Abortion Needed
A local teenage girl desperately trying to hide her pregnancy from her strict father approaches the gang and asks for help getting an abortion.
The gang fly her to a city hospital and pay for the abortion themselves, because that’s the kind of thing they do.

Elderly Scam
Mr and Mrs Jenkins are in their eighties, and they go to the gang for help when they’re scammed by a local doctor who tells them he has a cure for Mrs Jenkins’ cancer, then takes their life savings.
The gang force him to burn down his own practice, claim insurance, and give all the money to Mrs Jenkins so she can go to a real doctor.

Wayward Daughter
Christine goes to the gang for help because she knows they’re the only ones who will talk some sense into her daughter, who won’t stop cutting school to go rollerskating with no-hopers.
The gang scare the daughter into toeing the line by regaling her with tales of their time in juvie.

Molesty Teacher
A very nervous 12 year old too scared to go to the police comes to the gang to tell them that the respected local teacher has been molesting kids.
The gang swing into action and threaten to castrate him unless he turns himself in, which he does.

Drunk Driver
A chronic drunk driver has her fifth charge for the year and injures a child, but gets away with it because she’s a respected business person.
The gang wreck every car she buys henceforth.

Creepy Cultist
A new Church sets up in town and starts drugging the locals in the name of connection to a higher spirit.
The gang trick them into thinking they’ve been sent by God to punish them and run them out of town in their battle truck.

Animal Abuse
A local farmer doesn’t look after his animals properly and they’re all starving and sick. He constantly tricks animal welfare by caring for only a portion of the animals and hiding the rest when they visit.
The gang smuggle all the animals out and give them to a kind farmer. Abusive farmer’s business goes under and he’s forced to leave town.

Racist Assholes
A Turkish family move into town and start up a kebab store. Their store is vandalised constantly by the racist family who own the fish and chip shop and think their business is being stolen.
The gang sneak a range of dead animals into the fish and chip shop stock right before a health inspection and the store is shut down. The kebab store becomes the only option and is soon a huge hit, and the gang get free kebabs whenever they want.


I’ve got to say, it’s really weird for me to write about a bunch of badass ladies who aren’t fighting...tentacles..or something. Probably good for me though ;)
