Prompts

July is going to be wet and wild, villagers. Keep an eye to the sky and hold onto your hats!

  1. SAVING FACE - Look at you, trying to save that goat or dog or ZALPACA that's gotten stranded in a particularly nasty storm! You're a regular hero, trudging up that cliffside or swiming across that creek! Unfortunately, the sky didn't get the memo about your heroics, and it's just opened up even more. Finishing this job just got a heck of a lot worse. Good thing someone else just showed up to help both you and your animal pal. You hope. It's possible they're just there to laugh at you.

  2. PANTS ON FIRE - You know what's great? When the storm breaks, the skies start to clear and everything looks sunny again. You know what's not? When the weather pushes the LYING MIST down from the mountainside while you're out trying to clean up. Hope you don't have any whoppers you're trying to keep secret!

  3. SINK OR SWIM - The days when it's not storming are just beautiful, and the village river is running high. There are spots out of the current that are perfect for a cool dip or lounging on the shore, but take care you don't go out too far and get swept away. Oh, and watch out for the RAINBOW CRABS, those claws are sharp.

  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.

3 - Sink or Swim

This place was strange. Not like Limbo but Kat couldn't shake the feel that she was in two places at once. A piece of her felt like it was missing or out of place. Perhaps it wasn't this world. Maybe it was too many changes too fast. Whatever the cause, the feeling remained, gnawing unpleasantly in her chest.

Kat explored the town and then slowly began to find trails and paths that lead into the woods and surrounding area. She had lived her whole life in the city and had never seen anything as beautiful as the lush greenery of this world. Her fingers reached out, trailing along the damp branches and leaves, and she wondered if there was anywhere on Earth as beautiful as this.

The steady echo of the river entices her further north, where the trail she's following opens into a deep pool of water. Trees shade the area creating her own little oasis away from the town.

A rare smile touched the corner of Kat's lips as she stepped to the waters edge. She didn't know how to swim but the water looked shallow enough to touch the bottom. She glanced around and when she was sure that she was alone she stripped down and waded into the water. Kat kept her underwear on, uncertain if anything else that might be lingering in the woods, but enjoy the swirling coolness of the river as it flowed from one side of the pool to the other.

A daggers edge grazed against Kat's foot and a startled scream echoed from her lips. She's faced demons, monsters and other unimaginable horrors but she'd been surprised by a crab...


4 - Text

Is there anyway I can help?

[She doesn't like feeling this idle.]
littledhampir: ♫ Hope is our four-letter word, make that money watch it burn. (It seemed like a good idea at the time.)

[Kat stares at her given display name and frowns. Apparently that's automatic...]

Would that be so bad?

What do you do around here?
littledhampir: ♫ Love me or hate me, I swear it won't make or break me. (Unwanted opinions coming your way.)

[There's a slight delay between Kat sending the text and Rose's reply hitting.]

Mostly carry bags of potatoes
My talents arent always called for around here and when they are Im the only one who's happy about it

[Kat takes a moment to send a few replies.]

You sound a lot like a friend of mine.

I'm not sure what he'd do if he was here.

But I'll leave the potato carrying to you. I don't want to take your job.
littledhampir: ♫ And all the comebacks in the world are in your head. (You want me to mock you dont you?)

[personal profile] littledhampir 2018-07-12 12:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[She's been hearing that lately.]

Be useful enough to keep people from bitching and then step up when it gets ugly
Seems to work for me
Shame. I was hoping to graduate to fruit picking
mediumhoodie: (Default)

[personal profile] mediumhoodie 2018-07-12 12:42 pm (UTC)(link)
That sounds like something I can do.

[If fact, that had been Kat's general job description.]

Do you like fruit more than potatoes?
littledhampir: ♫  I wanna play the game I want the friction. (Mouthful of sass.)

[personal profile] littledhampir 2018-07-12 12:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Its definitely a skill worth learning

[ Rose is used to being more useful than this but there's just not the constant demand for a reckless dhampir with violent tendencies like there was back home. ]

They're a hell of a lot lighter
mediumhoodie: (Raised Arms)

[personal profile] mediumhoodie 2018-07-12 01:30 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm pretty good at it.

[When shit hits the fan, Kat is the kind of person who's there for her friends.]

That's true. What kind of fruit do they have here?
I can't imagine that it's the same as what I know.
littledhampir: ♫ What kind of fuckery is this? (Yeah I m side-eyeing you okay.)

[personal profile] littledhampir 2018-07-22 05:12 am (UTC)(link)
[Rose doesn't like to admit it but she's usually one of the reasons shit is hitting the fan...]

There's a peach grove?
Grove of peaches?
There are trees. They have peaches. People pick them.
Plus there's stuff growing in the greenhouse but I haven't really checked that out since I got back.

[Kat smiles at the text.]

I'm not sure what it's called either but I'll try them and see the green house too.
Would you want to come with me?
littledhampir: ♫ But if you feel like talking, talk away. I'm gonna hang on every word you say. (Really listening to what you say.)

[personal profile] littledhampir 2018-07-27 03:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Sure. Beats the hell out of another roadkill stew lunch

[Didn't matter that it wasn't roadkill. It was squirrel stew half the time. It would always be roadkill to Rose.]
mediumhoodie: (Happy)

[personal profile] mediumhoodie 2018-07-27 04:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[Kat can't help but smile a little wider at the text. She really does remind her of Dante and his candor. It makes her miss him more than she cares to admit.]

That I can understand.
I'll meet you at the front of the inn.
littledhampir: ♫ Please allow me to introduce myself (Smells like victory.)

[personal profile] littledhampir 2018-07-29 12:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Be there in 30 seconds
I live there
mediumhoodie: (Default)

[personal profile] mediumhoodie 2018-07-29 03:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Perfect. I'll be waiting downstairs.

I'm sitting in front of the fire now.


[She had been for most of the conversation. The inn, it looked like, was full and while she knew Vergil. She isn't sure her old friend will want her hoovering around him. She plans to see him tonight but that's not until later, hopefully by then she can sort out her thoughts and feelings with everything.

Things with Vergil are always... complicated.]
