Prompts

Happy anniversary, villagers! Buckle up!

1. HEAT WAVE - Poor you. All you were trying to do was get yourself a little something to eat from the kitchen at the inn. Maybe you cooked it up yourself (The inn does, after all, have an electric stove — FANCY!), or maybe you just grabbed some leftovers. By accident or on purpose, you ended up with way more RED SALT in there than you maybe should have, and this is no ordinary seasoning. Whether you like things eye-wateringly spicy or not, it's August, you're sweating buckets, and it's only getting worse.


2. SKUNK DRUNK - Isn't that just the way? You're out and about, minding your own business, and you get sprayed by a BROWN SKUNK. The good news? It doesn't stink like a normal skunk. The also possibly good news, depending on who you ask? You're now in for about 5 hours of being very, very friendly. (Just remember to keep the test drive PG!)


3. BRAIN CANDY - Whether you made it to the anniversary party or not, you've gotten your hands on a piece of leftover candy from the big bash. Careful, though, these treats are more than meets the eye: Whatever COLOR it was, you've now taken on the associated personality traits. (Not the power, just the traits.) At least it only lasts 10 minutes.


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
- Display names may be changed by characters on the fly, but anyone can tap to see someone's real full name

Please list your CHARACTER NAME, CANON & PROMPT in your SUBJECT LINE.

Ty glanced over his shoulder at the sound of someone calling out to him, nodding his head mutely for a moment, still wiping water out of his eyes before deciding to try to speak. Even to his own ears, he sounded like his sinuses were trying to clear out with a vengeance.

"Fine, just ate something I shouldn't have." He paused, sniffling slightly, before pressing on. "You wouldn't know where any sugar or milk was, would you?"

Because even after dunking his head in the fountain, he was sorely tempted to do it a few more times just for good measure.

It doesn't always take one to know one, but heck if having been one doesn't help. Between the snuffly undertone of his voice and the question itself, Jack's wincing sympathetically in response.

"Freaking- who keeps putting red salt in everything?" He shakes his head, gesturing at the inn. "Anything you want to try is probably in the kitchen, but I'm pretty sure that stuff just needs time."

[succored]

"Is that what it was? Usually I'm fine with spicy but-" He paused to wipe his nose on his sleeve, mouth still on fire. It felt like the back of his eyelids might have caught on fire with how his eyes were watering.

"Didn't see anything." Ty said, shoulders slumping a bit miserably. "If I keep dunking my head in the fountain, promise me you won't let anyone stop me until this burning is done."

"Temporary personal assistant, done," he pronounces, having a seat on the fountain wall alongside him and patting his back companionably. Not that he's terribly imposing, less than six feet of skinny ginger twentysomething, but he's ready to help and he does set himself to the task with the easy deliberation of someone used to making a choice and not flinching from it. "Dunk away - we can chat when you're through, yeah?"

[succored]

"I really appreciate the help." Ty said sincerely, before turning back to cup his hands in the fountain water and press it against his face. It was as comforting as it was a bit humiliating, to have company as he stuck his head back into the increasingly cold and soothing waters of the fountain. But luckily, it didn't take as long as Ty thought it would to finally feel like he was returning to normal, and once he was thoroughly soaked but no longer on fire, he let out a loud sigh of relief, sitting down on the fountain.

He pulled up the bottom of his shirt to scrub at his face, before wiping his hands off as best as he could, holding his hand out to his temporary personal assistant with a sheepish grin.

"I'm Ty. Thanks again for your help."
