Notes: A bunch of unrelated summaries and notes for ideas I never wrote.
Summaries Galore
1) Working Vacation
In need of a vacation but lacking funds, Garfield consults the internet. He finds sites that request "in-home volunteers" where the worker, in exchange for living with a host for free, does housework. One promising choice sparks his curiosity and he takes a chance. One he never should've taken. BBSlade
2) Flights of Fancy
Desperate for a night out after a exhausting week of work, Garfield calls up an old friend. He gains access to a upscale nightclub thanks to Cyborg, his best friend since high school.
3) Volunteering turns Disastrous
Garfield volunteers in a homeless shelter cafeteria when thugs from the local gang walks in, searching for potential grunts. They choose him and he's forced into the gang…as a sex slave.
4) Camera-Ready
When Garfield scores the chance to meet the famous celebrity, Richard Grayson, at a book signing, he hustles to the scene with a camera ready. Robin signs the book that inspired the movie he played in, because the author couldn't attend.
5) Work and Play
Garfield works at a day camp during summer to junior year of college. While there, he meets a handsome coworker and an asshole parent. (who winds up trying to woo him with money)
6) Rise and Fall
During summer away from college, Garfield scores a pet sitting job, (and in turn a house to live in, rent free) in Jump City. Between caring for the upkeep of the house and playing with the homeowners young puppies, he takes every chance to explore the bustling metropolis. From walks to puppy parks to dining at classy restaurants, he loves the sights and sounds. But when his time is up and the owners don't show, he snags a part time job at a nearby ice cream shop in hopes to slow the dwindling funds. Juggling three untrained puppies, customers, and caring for a house that isn't his own, he struggles to stay afloat amongst his fears. It's not until a handsome stranger knocks on his door with a massive guard dog does his situation fully sink.
(maybe a tibetan mastiff – a MASSIVE DOG of 33")
7) Transition
Gar works in the slums as a fast food cashier during the week, and restaurant waiter during weekends. He barely gets by, working overtime and always struggling to make ends meet. Only when his neighborhood's local gang breaks into a fight with a rival group is he forced out of poverty and into the hands of a wealthy madman.
8) Reluctant Prostitute
Garfield didn't know how his life crumbled within a month. From his guardians, Steve and Rita Dayton vanishing just before summer, to being plunged into debt because of his birth father's apparent gambling habits. According to Nicholas Galtry, brother to his birth father (or so the man claimed), Garfield had to repay the debt or die. With a gun to his head, he agreed. Now, he worked as a reluctant prostitute at a ritzy gentleman's club where he meets a clearly wealthy but absolutely snobbish client, Grant Wilson. He doesn't want to pleasure the jerk, but if Galtry ordered, then he had to obey. Who knows, maybe winning the man's heart would be the ticket out of hell and back to the safety of college.
9) Beats Boi
Garfield may have been cursed with green skin at a young age, but he was blessed with the ability to sing a wide range of styles. He favored slingin' rhymes and spittin' truths, especially in front of an audience with a sense of humor. Singing goes well as a side hobby...until a handsome fan introduces themself as Richard Grayson, music scout for Wilson Industries. Garfield finds himself smitten with the stranger and agrees to audition for the record label, if only to have an solid excuse to continue chatting with the cool dude. Only when he meets the Dick's creepy boss, Grant Wilson, does he have second thoughts.
10) Curses and Cures
Garfield is the second person in Jump Kingdom who was diseased with Sakutia and cured by a rare flower that gave him green skin as a result. The first was the princess of the kingdom. But, when her life is threatened by an infamous thief interested in the jewelry adorned on her body, she is hidden away while Garfield (the only other person with green skin and pointy ears) is dragged to the castle to take her place in disguise. There, a handsome knight named Robin guards him but the thief is famous for a reason. Slade will take what he wants, even if it means hauling a small twenty-year old man over a shoulder and scaling down the tower, ignoring the kicking and muffled screams all the while.
