3. Please only test new characters who do not have a version in the game. Our cast list is here.

→ TDM threads cannot be used to meet AC, but if the character is accepted into the game and both players agree, you may keep the CR.

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.

There's a faint huff of irritation from Druitt at the comment, but after one last (futile) attempt to get the door open, he leaves it be. It's clear enough that he's not really super pleased, largely on account of it not being anything they've had any say in, nor anything that they can actually do anything about. And with his teleportation inactive besides, it only brings their inability to leave into sharper focus, and he has, perhaps, grown entirely too used to having that option to fall back on. But he doesn't say as much. Instead, there's simply a moment of tense silence, and then - with visible effort - he shakes his head, pushing that irritation to the side as he steps away from the door.

"Just like old times, then?"

To be fair, this time there isn't a rampaging elemental that's trying to kill them involved. But it's certainly not the first time they've ended up in enforced close quarters, at least, for all that the reminder is probably not terribly comforting.
