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.

Danny Rand - Ironfist
Danny knelt down next to the blue flower, running his fingers over it's petals. He thought he could sense something from the plant but that couldn't be right. He hadn't been able to summon his fist which means whatever connection he'd had to Shou Loa had been broken.
He frowned and carefully plucked the flower. Danny wasn't a flower loving kind of guy but he could be found returning to town with a few plants, most of which he didn't recognize. Hopefully none of them were dangerous.
MEDITATION
It wasn't a comfortable feeling but Danny needed time to push his discomfort aside.
He sat near the center of the town, listening to the soft currents of the fountain with his legs crossed beneath him. He had tugged off his shirt, revealing the black dragon tattoo on his chest as the sun warmed his skin. He cleared his mind of all thoughts in an attempt to push his growing frustration away.
It wasn't really working.
TEXTS
[There is a seconds pause before a few other texts follow in quick succession.]
Hi, I'm Danny Rand.
I'm wondering if there is anyone from New York here?
Meditation!
She comes closer, noticing his frustration and sympathizes. Claire has been there more times than she can count now and one reaches a point where they can't help but question if it will ever stop.
No one has been able to answer that question yet.
"You know," Claire starts quietly. "I remember someone once saying you should 'always work from a position of strength'."
Sure, he was talking about bringing Madame Gao along and there was some other stuff before that about never letting the enemy choose the battlefield but they were still wise words.
Meditation!
"It's good advice." His voice was light but tense.
Danny looked Claire over, trying to pick out bits and pieces that seemed off. It was very subtle but something seemed different.
His brow furrowed together. "When did you get here?" Had the way open for her? Or him... Danny wasn't sure where he was but this wasn't the first time he ended up in a world that was connected too Earth while not existing on the same plane. He didn't really want to think about being trapped here for over a decade either; not without the Ironfist.
no subject
Her expression turns to slight exasperation. "Going on nine months now." she answers, nodding. Claire had to ask the next question because while Danny knew her, she's not too sure when in his timeline he comes from.
"What do you remember happening before you got here?"
no subject
"Wait." Her reply and the question clicked together. "How have you been here for nine months? I just saw you." And it hadn't been nine months ago.
"What's going on here?" It might be more complicated than he had originally thought.
