FULL VIEW - The Observers really do their best to make each villager's wrist device as user-friendly for them as possible, but with all new tech, sometimes there's a learning curve... And sometimes, you just screw up. Like now, when you've accidentally triggered the video option and called someone completely random on the network without realizing it. Yep, you're just going about whatever, totally oblivious. Here's to hoping that your clothes are fully on, and that the person on the other end is nice enough to speak up sooner rather than later.
SHADOW OF A DOUBT - Being the intrepid (or just bored) villager you are, you've gone exploring and found yourself a very interesting (if moderately spooky) cave. What lurks in the dark? Might it be some shadow dust to turn you intangible? Or perhaps a cave wolf with all of its little goblin-monkey friends? Maybe, just maybe, it's both.
ILL AT EASE - 'Tis the season for the common cold, and you've got it. Unfortunately, the village doesn't have a corner drug store, so you're achy, miserable, maybe a little feverish. The good news is a little time in bed should do the trick. That is, if you're not the sort who has to be bullied to take care of yourself anytime you get sick. Either way, maybe you'll be lucky enough to find someone to tuck you in and bring you some chicken soup.
WILDCARD - Choose your own adventure. Maybe play powers roulette.
NETWORK - All characters are fitted with a smart watch-like device on their left wrist, which they can use to send text and video messages to other villagers. Text and/or video are allowed, any length. Display names may be changed by characters on the fly, but anyone can tap to see someone's real full name.

Please list your CHARACTER NAME, CANON & PROMPT NAMES in your SUBJECT LINE.

Constantly having something attached to her wrist wasn't all that strange - although the wrist device that had replaced her pip boy was quite a bit smaller and capable of quite a bit more. It was fascinating, honestly, to think that they had somehow gotten an entire computer into something so tiny.

It also meant that things she never had to worry about with her pip boy were now possibilities. Her previous device had only been capable of recording audio onto holotapes, not broadcasting it across a network, much less video.

Maybe she bumped it accidentally as she was sitting her hand down. Maybe it turned on intentionally. Either way, it begins broadcasting something rather strange - the sight of the ceiling, going up and down. Up and down.

Up. And then down.

It's anyone's guess what she's doing, but it's probably push-ups. At least is the soft sound of grunts is anything to go by.

shadow of a doubt;

Dark, unknown caves weren't exactly beyond her scope of knowledge. She had gone into more than a few dark, damp places she shouldn't have. But then, she had always been armed with a lazer rifle and had been secure in the knowledge that her companion could handle anything she couldn't.

Now it was just her and the shadow dust duking it out. Three guesses as to who won.

It was a strange feeling, suddenly waking up and having your hand go directly through things instead of grasping onto them. It was even more strange when she glanced into a mirror to check her hair only to see herself slowly becoming more and more transparent.

Walking up to the first person she saw to ask what the fuck ended up with them taking one look at her, yelling and running away. Which meant she was slowly, carefully approaching the next person she saw. Maybe she should get a sign that announced she wasn't a ghost come to life.

network; un: sentinel

So... are there guns here or are we just supposed to hack things to death with an axe?

Perhaps it's a sad fact of his life, but being approached by a person who seemingly lacks corporeal body is actually not entirely the weirdest thing that has happened in his life. It's not even the weirdest supernatural thing.

It is however enough to cause him to stop, backing up a single step just to ensure there is space maintained. It's not that he's exactly afraid of spirits or apparitions, it's that not knowing their nature, or what happened to the person before they became a ghost meant he's wary. Especially without the armory Chris is used to having at his disposal.

Canting his head, trying to get a decent look at the person's features, trying to see if he recognizes them.

"So, are you residual or intelligent?" He figures their answer not a positive or negative would actually answer that question.

She really, really needed to get that sign.

Although it was kind of nice that everyone was currently giving her a rather wide berth. And going through walls instead of around them definitely made traveling across the village faster.

But there's still a sigh when he spots her, when he asks the question and for a moment she considers answering honestly.

But where is the fun in that?

"Oh, I'm neither. I'm actually a hologram. Yeah. Jokes on you, buddy."

That answer gets a long, slow look, shifting a step or two to try and get a better glimpse of her. His eyes narrowing, trying to focus on the shimmer of form rather than the objects beyond her, the things that are solid and bear brighter colors.

"A Victorian hologram, huh? I have to admit that's some pretty fancy tech from the same people that prescribed cough syrup with heroine and opium."

Though that begs a lot of question though, especially how she ended up like this. "And just how did you end up like this? Do you know?"

Considering she still hadn't fully broken away from the migrating towards blacks and the duller colors that could be found in the wasteland, there really wasn't much bright about her.

"I don't know about you but I could really use of that right about now."

But her endless amounts of sarcasm wasn't going to do anything to fix her actual problem. "There's this cave nearby that I've been wanting to check out. Turns out it was filled with some kind of dust."
