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.

[ Steve whirls around, only just managing not to knock over his basket. Or a few others. For a moment, he's not quite sure what to do with his hands, and ends up standing at parade rest for a few very long, very embarrassing moments. ]

Peg -- Agent -- Peggy.

[ He's aware she's here, but knowing, and talking over the network, is a far cry from actually seeing her in person. And maybe there's been a little bit of avoidance on his part, simply because he's not sure what to say. Amazing how it feels like no time has passed, like only five minutes earlier the two of them were discussing the assault on Schmidt's last base. ]

Hi.

[womanofvalue]

[There's a hand over her mouth, meant to hide her amusement, but she really ought to be covering her eyes, because that's where Steve will be able to see the fondness, but also the grief. It's been a long time since she'd seen him, here, but it gets no easier. Having him here again is so very strange, a shock that she's somewhat unprepared for.

At least it's a good one.]

Agent? Well, that's a bit more formal than I was expecting.

[She walks down the steps in order to start wrapping the fish and to shut them away, because she doesn't want to end up reeking of warm fish, so best to do something to keep herself distracted. It also prevents her from touching his face, feeling the warmth against her fingertips.]

Hello yourself. Again.

[ex_enlisted288]

Sorry.

[ She took him by surprise, is all. Steve isn't the smoothest person around when it comes to social situations. Especially of this nature.

He shuffles to the side, trying to keep out of the way, and watches her work. Unsure if he should offer to help. Eventually, Steve comes up with something to say that doesn't sound incredibly stupid. Hopefully. ]

How are you?

[womanofvalue]

[Should she be honest with him? Peggy's not entirely sure because how she is fluctuates a great deal and how she is with him around tends to be a touchy subject, given the grief she's learned to live with as a result of his revolving door status.

You can only say goodbye so many times, she suspects, before it begins to wear on you. She's glad for the distraction of her work, careful not to get blood or guts anywhere.

As she works, she decides to let the answer be up to him, mainly because she also doesn't want to dare lie to him.]

Do you want the truth or something that will be pleasant?

[ex_enlisted288]

[ Steve looks down for a moment.

You can say goodbye, or hello, as many times as necessary. It's something he's discovered since he started visiting the Peggy from his world in her assisted living facility. (Nursing home.) He's not sure he should mention that since it's years in her future. Or maybe not even then. ]

Whatever you feel comfortable with. [ he looks back up, a small smile in his face. ] Want some help with that?

[womanofvalue]

I'll always accept a helping hand.

[Especially from him, given that she misses what it feels like to be on the same page. It doesn't matter whether it's stealing a plane to sneak behind enemy lines or the simple task of sitting together at a briefing, it's these moments and memories that she always treasures, every time he's here.]

I'm grateful to see you again. The trouble is, I've grown so used to it and every time I get my hopes up that you'll stay and then...

[Well, then she learns her lesson. Nothing is permanent.]
