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.

1. 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!


2. 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.


3. 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.


4. WILDCARD - Choose your own adventure. Maybe play powers roulette.

Texts

All characters are fitted with a smart watch-like device on their left wrist, which they can use to send text messages to other villagers.

- Texts may only be 140 characters long
- No video or voice, text only
- No usernames, everyone is listed by their name

Please list your CHARACTER NAME, CANON & PROMPT in your SUBJECT LINE.

Comments

[digging]

Karen laughs herself then, an abrupt and almost astonished sound, as if she can't believe she was capable. "It's really ugly," she admits, because God are they ever. "Like 'World's Ugliest Dog' ugly." Matt's right, though; in the grand scheme of this place, these toothy puppies have turned out to be one of the least worrisome parts.

"It seems like everyday I see someone new with one. So far they haven't been a problem. I've managed to escape being chosen. Maybe because I have an actual dog at home, I don't know."

[calltoaction]

As sudden as it came on, the laugh is still good to hear, and Matt's face brightens with a genuine smile, eyes crinkling with mirth without glasses to hide them. "That's a pretty steep accusation."

He clears his throat gently, and shrugs a little for her benefit. "Maybe. I've, uh never had one. Foggy always insisted. I'm pretty sure this isn't what he had in mind."

[digging]

"Probably not," Karen allows with another soft, barely-there laugh. "I um, I kind of inherited mine, so."

The awkwardness begins to press in again, and Karen clears her throat as she casts for what to say next. The small talk will only cut it for so long, but how in the hell does she even start?

"Are you... You've got everything you need?" She knows Matt is perfectly competent, but she knows too that this place doesn't play by the rules. "Sometimes people take things from houses that don't have anybody in them, then somebody moves in and realizes they don't have any towels."

[calltoaction]

"Yeah? Does it look like this one, or different?"

Matt's trying, but he's really at a loss for what to say. There's no rulebook for this kind of thing.

"Ah, yeah, for the most part," he says. "There's just a bit of an adjustment period, I guess." He laughs about the comment about the houses and towels. "Oh, I've got towels. Actually I can't tell if it's a blanket or a towel. Both pretty scratchy to me."

A really poor joke, but he does usually have silk sheets. Or did.
