Prompts

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

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.

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!

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!

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

Gran Pulse had much weirder animals than whatever this place was called - Fang understood why they didn't have a name yet, but at the same time it felt weird to be staying so long in a place without one. Names meant something to Gran Pulse natives; it was why she and Vanille had hidden theirs upon awaking in Cocoon. But animals she could deal with. Usually she was stabbing them, but these guys they didn't want to stab. These guys they wanted for milk, possibly transportation, and maybe meat when they were too old to be good for anything else.

Looking up when Kate approached, hand resting on the shoulder of one of the beasts and a clearly homemade spear over her shoulder, Fang tilted her head at the other woman inquisitively. "Never had to take care of an animal, have you?" It was phrased as a question, but her broad accent that Kate would probably think of as Australian definitely made it into a statement.

"I had a Poodle," Kate replied defensively to whom she assumed was an Australian. "But you don't exactly milk those."

With no idea what a Poodle was, Fang simply shrugged and turned back to the furry beast in front of her. "It's not so hard, really. Biggest thing is to show 'em you're not scared of them. They get nervous when they feel you are." She clearly wasn't scared, but she'd hunted (and been chased by) much bigger things than this. A herd animal wasn't any sort of big deal after a wyvern. "Come over here, let this one get used to your scent. Once they're familiar with you, they're a lot less twitchy."
