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.

[womanofvalue]

She gives him an amused look and continues to linger, though she does at least wander a bit closer so she's not just looking over his shoulder. "Watching sounds perfectly pleasant," she says, as though she hadn't even thought of it until he'd suggested it, but she drags another stool around so that she's at least not lurking at his shoulder.

Watching is fine, but she doesn't want to give the impression that she's only there to supervise. "Actually, neither," she admits, seeing as it's best to tell the truth. "I'd much rather talk to you."

[notabirdcostume]

To be fair, he's not sure how someone would help aside from give instruction or take over if the other was incompetent. Sam has yet to demonstrate if he is terrible at this or not, so really the only option is to watch. Although he does appreciate that she isn't going to hover while doing so. Everyone knows that is obnoxious and Peggy Carter is a lot of things...obnoxious is not one of them.

It's even more reassuring when she says she wants to talk. Well, partially reassuring. While he's of course curious about what he's missed and what has happened since he was last here, there is a part of him that knows he will feel bad for everything he wasn't here to help with. But God if he hadn't missed talking with her. She'd become such a good friend to him, a confidant, and he now he really needed to make up for some lost time it seems.

"Sure, we can talk. Maybe that will help keep Lady here calm too," he says. He sets the pail beneath the udders and decides he might as well get started now. No sense putting off the inevitable and if he finds out he's bad at it at least then they can go off and find someone else to do this.

"I'm not so sure that any topic that's brought up is meant to keep anyone calm," Peggy notes ruefully out loud, because it's the truth. So much has happened and she doesn't even know where to begin. Perhaps that's why she decides that since she's having so much trouble deciding, they ought to talk about anything but what's been happening to her.

"What happened when you went home? Did you realize it? How did it happen?" Her questions are anything but calm as she directs them, blunt and fast, at Sam, wanting as much information as she can get.

Beneath it all, one question lurks -- was it a choice?
