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.

Text from @bloodwhore

[littledhampir]

[She hates everything about this display name]

careful
youll find yourself carrying bags of potatos with a question like that

Text @BetweenTwins

[mediumhoodie]

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

Would that be so bad?

What do you do around here?

Text @BetweenTwins

[littledhampir]

[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

[mediumhoodie]

[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]

[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]

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]

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]

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]

[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.

[mediumhoodie]

[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]

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]

[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]

Be there in 30 seconds
I live there

[mediumhoodie]

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.]
