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.

Comments

[spoileralert]

The peacock cat, of course, will not tolerate big clumsy dogs around her and instead goes to Steph for further petting. Abigail may be intriguing, but she has her priorities.

"Plague clouds? What does that mean, exactly?" It makes it sound like a pathogen more than a caustic chemical.

Oh wow, how did you even explain those to someone who was used to animals and grass? Abby frowns as she looks up at the sky. Then she gestures to it with a huge encompassing spread of her hands.

"Imagine the sky overcast with clouds. Except instead of those weird white and gray ones you have here, they're all sorts of colors. Pinks and purples and blues and greens. What colors they are depends on what chemicals are in them. They roll up, there is never just a few, there it's always a whole storm of them. Towering things that scratch the sky. They roll over the world in storms, flashing with lightning. Sometimes they rain, sometimes they snow. But always they come with this massive wind storms. And the clouds. They're from the sky to the ground, like a fog became a storm."

It's a nightmare to even think of them, and Abby shudders, her hands flopping down to find soft animals around her to pet and stroke. They're... they're a lot easier to consider than plague clouds.

"Now, imagine all those colors are from gaseous chemicals. They eat you from the inside out. I've had a friend use the world 'caustic'. They kill you. If you breathe them in, even for a second, you will die a horrible death. Our world constantly tries to kill us."
