Prompts
It's springtime in your brand-new home, villagers! Many exciting new experiences await you, although you might want to take care; not all are for the faint of heart.
- NEW FRIENDS - Congratulations, you are now the lucky recipient of the undying love and devotion of your very own CROC-DOG. Maybe you fed it, or maybe you just didn't run away screaming when you saw it. Regardless, it's your buddy now through thick and thin. Constantly. Everywhere. All the time. We hope you're up for some companionship!
- LET YOUR EENT SHINE DOWN - You've come across a SHINE BIRD. You heard its call. Now you can expect an hour's worth of sudden, intense increase in one of four emotions: Joy, sorrow, rage or loneliness. It's entirely possible you'll be apologizing to some people tomorrow.
- SPRING IN SPRING - Hey look, it's everybody's favorite prompt: It's warm enough now that it's not completely crazy to go have a dip in the HOT SPRINGS. Naked. And then accidentally get caught.
- WILDCARD - Choose your own adventure. Maybe play powers roulette.

Peter Parker | Marvel | 3 (Sorrow)
Well, if he liked anything. Which he doesn't anymore. Was there ever a time he liked something? He can distinctly remember smiling and laughing, but it all feels so wrong now, so false, like it happened to someone else. Obviously it couldn't have been him; how could he ever be happy when the world is filled with terrible, awful, heartbreaking things every, single moment of every, single day?
There's an ant crawling on his arm. Its little legs tickle, raising goosebumps on his skin, but Peter doesn't laugh. It's probably going to bite him, and the bite will get infected and he will die, because that's just the harshness of life. There is no lemonade from these lemons, kiddo. A sob bubbles up from his throat, tears welling in his eyes and sliding down to collect in his ears. They're probably going to get stuck in there and he'll have that horrible feeling of water in his ears for the rest of his entire life, until he goes deaf from it. Or dies. Again.
no subject
The body in the middle of the road, however, managed to get her attention first and she absolutely thought the worst. Who wouldn't? But before she set off towards him in a sprint, ready to do CPR or chest compressions to resuscitate the poor soul, she heard it; the sound of despair.
She remembers how that feels.
Slowing to a stop a few feet from his right shoulder, Claire looks down, not even realising until then how young he was.
"Hi," She lowers to a crouch. "Hoping to get hit by something?"
no subject
"You're so— so— so—" he tries, face shining with fresh, devastated tears. "N-nice!"
He is, maybe, waiting to be hit by something, but then that would make this nice lady sad, and what about Aunt May? She would never even know he was dead.
Another loud wail bursts from his throat.
no subject
She had come back from hunting, empty handed, which happened all too often. Slinging her bow over her shoulder, she paused to look down at the ground where the boy was laying in the middle of the road. It was such a random sight compared to everyone working and going about their day. He was young like her, no more than a boy lost in this wilderness.
"Are you all right?"
no subject
It's definitely got to be that kind of snot, because that's just how his life goes.
"No," he allows on a hitched breath, hastily wiping at his nose, which wasn't as snotty as he thought, but it's on his shirt anyway now, and where is the ant? Oh god, the ant is gone, did he accidentally roll over and squash it? Did he just commit anticide?
Another sob bubbles from his throat, and he covers his face, impossibly ashamed of his own brutality.
no subject
She plopped beside him, unconcerned with the dirt or dust that might gather on her skirts. Instead, she placed a hand on his shoulder, giving it a comforting squeeze. "I know this is a bit of a shock." It was more than an understatement, but it was the only way she knew how to begin approaching this.
The sob startled her, uncertain what could cause this extreme of a reaction.
"You weren't hurt arriving here?"
