Prompts

Summer is here, villagers! Sunny skies, warm weather and plenty of weirdness are on the horizon. Don't forget your sunscreen!

1. THE MILK FOR FREE - Somehow, someway, you have been wrangled into milking one of the GROFFLES recently rounded up by your fellow villagers. Maybe you felt guilty for not helping, or maybe you owe someone scary money. Point is, it's just you, a bucket, and your green milk-giving friend. Just a tip: Groffles are good-natured, but you probably shouldn't squeeze too hard.


2. LIGHTNING ROD - Earlier today, you made your way into the upper foothills — Were you hunting? Maybe just roaming? — and you came into contact with a BLUE LILY. Maybe you thought it was so pretty you've carried it back to the village with you. If your house didn't have electricity before, it definitely does now!


3. MEET CUTE - It's a classic: You've gone down into the 6I INN'S dirt-walled root cellar off the kitchen. Maybe you needed supplies or were dropping off some fresh produce. Whatever the case, someone's followed you down for a similar reason... and the door has jammed shut behind them. Seriously, it's not budging. Enjoy getting to know your new best friend in the cozy light of the furnace!


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.

Bucky Barnes | MCU

[freightcars]

meet cute;

He's not a farmer, that's for damn sure. In an effort to provide some kind of contribution to this whole place he'd taken up trying to farm, what little experience he had in Wakanda was a poor foundation for agricultural prowess. Nevertheless he tried, and apparently that's what matters, because the damn plants started growing. Sprouting seeds turned into tiny little leafy stems, which turned into actual edible fruits and vegetables.

Granted, he's lucky to get one or two to a vine, but it counts, and it's with a sort of pathetic sense of pride that he hauls a meager basket of produce to the communal root cellar. It's also with a sense of pride that he doesn't startle or react to the sound of someone entering the room behind him, and boy did that take some exposure therapy. He's calm, though, quiet, as he unloads his haul into their designated places on the shelves. It's only when he tries to leave that things go to shit.

The door won't open. He jiggles the handle, consternated, then tries again a bit more aggressively.

"What the hell?" Comes out a little too loudly to be a mutter. He pauses long enough to set his basket to one side, then resumes with both hands trying to tug the damn thing open. Nothing doing. With a huff, he glances over his shoulder at the other occupant. "Hey- got a sec?"

need advice on how to get rid of one of those crocodile dogs
it's been camping in my front yard for three days
I can barely keep plants alive, let alone
whatever the hell this thing is

[womanofvalue]

Have you tried increasingly loud noises? Flashes of light?
Please tell me you haven't named it.

[freightcars]

Only first and middle
Does a stern talking-to count?

[womanofvalue]

If those worked, I wouldn't have had half the troubles I do.
You could try force?

[freightcars]

You know, they're weird, but they're kind of cute.
Not exactly the kind of thing you throw rocks at. I tried once.
It gives you this kinda
LOOK


[ It's so sad. You know, that look Steve had before he got buff, when he just looked tiny and disappointed in you? ]

[womanofvalue]

[She refuses to be taken in by that look. At least, no more than three times in her lifetime, and it's already happened once. Twice, if she's truly honest.]

It's that or you adopt a terrifying creature, Barnes.
Choose wisely.

[freightcars]

[ She's a far stronger person than him, then. Maybe he's just got too much of a guilt complex, or he's too easily manipulated. ]

Any chance you're in the market for a new pet? Rumor has it you're a go-to for taking in strays that have potential.

[womanofvalue]

Is that the rumour? [As if she doesn't already know, though it hadn't strictly been her decision, just her being pleased how it'd turned out.]
Then you didn't hear the one about how I have two untrained messenger pigeons.
They won't do a bloody thing other than ignore my commands.

[freightcars]

Guess that just makes them regular pigeons then.
Maybe they don't speak English. Tried it in Russian?

[womanofvalue]

Russian, German, French, English.
Apparently, they don't want to carry messages in any language.
Maybe you can teach your new pet to.

[freightcars]

Winston isn't my pet, and I'm pretty sure if you tried to give him a letter he'd just eat it like my last pair of shoes and the tomato crop.

[womanofvalue]

Winston?
Sadly, Churchill would probably be thrilled, if you named it after him.
Are you shoeless, then?

[freightcars]

He's a little on the chubby side, so.

[ It seemed to fit. ]

Why, you got a spare pair?

[womanofvalue]

Winston it is, then.

[She'll just have to try not to laugh every time she says it.]

If you're happy with a two inch heel, you can try to squeeze into one of my spare pairs.

[lechiennoir]

Leave a trail of fish for it to follow elsewhere? Or just give it to me; they’re no worse than anything back home.

[freightcars]

If you can take it, take it. I wouldn't be surprised if it wound up right back on my stoop with a stomach full of fish.

[lechiennoir]

I'll try. I make no promises.

[freightcars]

Couple things you'll probably want to know:
He answers to Winston
He eats shoes
He really, really wants to go inside.

[lechiennoir]

Well I only have the one pair of shoes so I hope he doesn't eat them.

Alternatively, since you've named him, why don't you let him inside? He's probably cold and wants snuggles. Hypothetically.

[freightcars]

I'm not really a
Pet person. Or a plant person.
I'm not even a person person.

[lechiennoir]

Oh come on, plants are easy. Even if they're venemous tentaculas or something like that. You just have to avoid being bitten.

Same with pets, I suppose, though I've never really had any.
