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.

[skyward_eyes]

Something told him that 'don't call me kid' wouldn't have any weight with the man. So he ignores it and moves further into the cave, the fire hovering near him as he continues on.

"Never. But I'm aware of what's in there. And I'm supposed to be looking for additional possible sources of metal."

He twirls the staff though his fingers as he moves forward with that same sort of confidence and ease that Qrow might have. Or any of the more polearm users at the academies. The 'kid' knew what he was doing, and moved with that same sort of predatory fluidness that any trained Hunter or Huntress had.

"Metal. That's good, I like metal. I'll help with that."

He glances back to watch Nida showing off with the staff, moving with purpose, and Qrow almost scoffs. He would have if he weren't sober. It's from appreciation of the confidence this kid exuded but also from an experience of what others had done with that confidence. It could be the best thing, or the worst thing, and he's curious to find out which way Nida swings it.

"You remind me of the kids back home, probably would have fit right in."

"I know it's not going to matter to you either way given you're older, but I'm twenty," Nida says. But age is a number and people here don't care. Just like Nida doesn't care about fitting in. Which the look he gives Qrow clearly says. "Just be careful, old man. Watch for red lights in the darkness. That would be cave wolves. They like to eat people."

He moves forward carefully, shifting the placement of the fire to a bit more behind him, to try and save as much of his night vision as possible. Still, he'll not protest the man taking point, only because Nida would rather focus his ears behind them, wanting to make sure nothing sneaks up on them.
