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.

Elated and gleeful are adjectives that have described Ravi basically since the moment he saw Liv's garish hair popping over the top of the fountain. He's still completely thrilled about it, but then there are moments when he remembers that Liv is still new to the whole Swiss Family Kidnapping and Torture, which is why he actually physically bodily jumps when he wanders outside to find Liv feeding a thing that makes him intensely glad that Minor already had his walk today.

"Liv," Ravi whines, "if you keep feeding them, they're only going to come back in droves." He's not saying he's scared of them, but maybe he's just a little frightened of those godawful faces that have been popping up in his nightmares.

Grimacing, he wonders how this can be so abnormal to him, yet raising zombie rats had been a normal way of life, back home. "Please tell me you haven't started a commune for them on our porch," he pleads.

"There is just the one, I swear," I say, holding up both hands, palms out. No gator pups up my sleeves. "And look, he's— She? It? Whatever, look at how well-behaved it is! No snatching, no chomping!" My new friend settles its excessively long chin atop my knee with a sigh, and I grin. "Seriously, Smiley is better behaved than Minor ever was." I give it a scritch on top of its little hairless head in reward and it makes a happy clicking-growling sound.

"No, Smiley isn't right," I add with a wrinkle of my nose. "Allie? I could name you after my dentist, his name was Ted." I glance back up to Ravi. "What was the name of the shark in Jaws?"

[zomboligist]

Ravi narrows his eyes, because he's not entirely sure he believes that 'there's only one' crap, because he has nightmares about them surrounding him. Hand to his heart, he only stifles his offended gasp but barely, because those are words of fighting.

"How dare you imply our dog isn't a saintly angel of behaviour?" he huffs, wincing a little at the strange teeth sound that's definitely moving up right past 'Blaine's voice' on the level of sounds that set Ravi's teeth on edge.

"Did it have a name?" he strains to recall. "I mean, you could just go with the obvious and name it Chompy. Or, if we're really desperate, he could just be Dinner," he jests.

[living_proof]

"Oh, ha ha," I reply with a half-roll of my eyes before I turn my attention back to the dog. "Don't listen to the mean man, Allie," I coo, passing it a bit more vegetable from the bowl. "He knows you can't be dinner. You're way too skinny to be more than a snack."

I tip a look back to Ravi. "I'm going with Allie. It's cute, and thus ironic."

[zomboligist]

"This is more uncomfortable than you rocking one of my rats to sleep, because at least then, I could blame it on the maternal brain," Ravi says, his eyes widened with horror given that this truly is one of the darkest things that he's seen in his life and that includes the time he'd walked in on Major doing what could only be pec introductions in the mirror.

"It's going to eat you," he informs her with a mock cheerful smirk, because Allie may look cute and cuddly, but Ravi knows better. "And I am not skinny, I've been doing...stuff." He makes an ineffectual face, because it's not like he got buff, but he's hardly skinny. "Besides, you ought to be careful, he might end up thinking you're a very delicious bird snack."
