Prompts

• 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.

"If I wanted you dead, there are about 20,000 more efficient ways to go about it," says Five, long fingers grasping at the back of a nearby chair to drag it over with the gruff scrape of wood on wood. He couldn't have said why he does it, apart from habit; he certainly isn't expecting any great or worthy insight to come from a confab with Diego. "This," he explains, lifting his own cup in a self-satisfied, if careful, upward arc of demonstration as he sits, "is coffee. I may have had to murder someone to get it. It is not for you. That," he taps an index finger in the direction of Diego's considerably more dubious but clearly appropriate cup, "is for you."

For the longest time Diego stares at his brother, clutching the mug like a lifeline and enjoying the way the warmth seeps into his hands though, for a time, he doesn't say a word. "I'm not sure if I'm impressed that you probably actually could make that list, or saddened you would take all that time when there's about a half dozen effective and easy ways to kill a person so why do you need more?" Much as he might not admit it though, or make snide comments to the contrary as he just did, Diego is kind of happy for the company. No, that's not true. He's not happy about it at all, but he kind of wants it. Better to have a focus than just thinking about his pain. Sure, that's why. "At least make sure you clean up your mess," he murmurs, bringing to mug up and inhaling. His nose wrinkles but he takes a sip nonetheless as he looks at Five through the steam over the rim of the cup. "You know when old men speak to younger men like that, they end up tormented until they take their last breath, right?"
