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.

"A teleporting dog? See, you're already better than my team. We don't have any dog - much less a teleporting one."

Jean laughs, though, because even though she'd definitely have Kamala join the X-Men for a team-up whenever she wanted, she definitely still loves her team. It just gets tiresome being with teenage boys all the time.

"I think things are going to come out ok. They don't always - I've been doing this long enough to know that - but I have faith in us."

[morphogenia]

"You should get on that! They're super awesome and cuddly." Kamala notes with a bright smile. She really does miss Lockjaw. He really is a fantastic friend. It isn't the same without him. She doesn't want to bum Jean out by saying all that. She's had time to make some peace with the situation, after all.

Kamala shrugs the rest off or rather the part where not winning is a chance. Kamala doesn't like to think like that. She has the benefit of having a happier story though. She can afford to think that way. "Nothing is ever perfect, but your team is legendary even when its split up like ten different ways. You guys will do great." She offers a thumbs up. "Just know that I will totally be cheering you on wherever I am!"

[ashandflame]

"It's...so nice to hear that," Jean admits. "Sometimes I forget that there are people out there who are cheering for me and my friends, you know? Mutants aren't exactly the most loved people out there."

Maybe the X-Men have a good reputation for the most part but Jean still feels that stigma. She remembers when she tried to be "normal" for a while and got rejected.

"You know, all I wanted was to be normal and now I am, I guess, and I kind of hate it. Is it the same for you?"

[morphogenia]

"I know and it sucks. I grew up hearing about all the amazing things mutant superheroes did and yet people always find a way to use it against them. It doesn't make sense, but I guess hate never does." Kamala sighs deeply. It does hurt her that it is this way. Her only comfort is really she and the people of her community are on the right side of things.

"A little? But, also the opposite. I always wanted to be more, but my idea of it used to be more meant being like everyone else. I should be blond, beautiful, and uncomplicated or something. Things changed obviously and more meant being the best me. I can still do that, but I miss... I don't know. Having the physical proof I changed?" Kamala laughs. She's making no sense. "The healing factor was amazing too. That I definitely hate going without."
