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.

"Well, they seem pretty committed to secrecy so far. If they know someone's looking, they might double down."

Or he could kick up enough of a stir to get himself captured, if that's how They operate. There's an idea. It wouldn't be the first time he'd fought his way out of a situation like that.

There's too much risk involved at this juncture, though. So, last resort option, but still on the table.

"And they already know I'm here, obviously, so thankfully your lack of forethought hasn't sabotaged anything just yet."

That was mean, but if he doesn't have any caffeine or booze then being nasty is his only form of stress relief.

"Wow. Harsh much?"

He says it without much vitriol or legitimate hurt, spends a few moments deeply wishing he had a joint, because nothing goes with a bath better than a joint. Plus, marijuana always did do the best job of taking out the sting of the real world - not a full on floating-in-the-clouds amaaaazing high like opioids, but real great for being coherent but not in actual pain, mental or emotional.

A functional sort of high. Perfect for dealing with someone like Five.

"Anyway, you would know, wouldn't you? About how weird esoteric organizations behave. I've never been part of the time traveler secret service or whatever it was, so I'll let you take the lead on this one. Mmmkay?"
