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.

[Bruce is visibly relieved when he opens his eyes and speaks. It would be hard to drag him somewhere to supplies, but he could bring them back. He flickers a small smile reassuringly.] The wildlife is, well, very wild here. Animals, plants. [He has no idea what that skunk was capable of doing, knocking a grown man out, but he'd add it to his mental list.] There's red salt from a plant in the inn, do not put it in your food, just don't.

[It's just about then Bruce realizes Bellamy is touching him, and not in the worried or scared patient way. Bruce is very nervous about touch unless it's medical, but he feels like it would be rude to jerk away. Bellamy might have hit his head.] I'm Bruce, uh, Dr. Bruce Banner. [Don't worry, I'm a doctor.] Just Bruce though. Did you hit your head too hard?

[kingbellamy]

I saw a deer with two heads once. [He smiles and it's a little smug. He's making eye contact with Bruce and it's a little unnerving.] Right, no red salt.

Bruce Banner. I'm Bellamy Blake. BB. Heh. [He chuckles and pats Bruce's shoulder.] No, I-- I might have hit my head. Can I have a hug? [Damn skunk.]

[notsoangry]

That's ... interesting. [Usually he would doubt it, but in this place? With a killer skunk? Not so much. He had no idea what world this young man might be from, so it could be common place.] I'm not sure we have any of those here, but it's probably smart to stay away from the wildlife for now.

[Bruce chuckled lightly.] BB, that's right. I think you should be careful, maybe we'll stay sitting for right now, okay? [He wished he had a flashlight so he could check his eyes, but nothing was easy around here. The question made him inwardly flinch.] Uhhh, that's ... okay. [He just patted Bellamy on the shoulder, and hoped that would be enough comfort.] Are you seeing spots? Double vision?

[kingbellamy]

[Bellamy sighs dreamily when Bruce pats him on the shoulder. He just felt... good. And he had urges. Urges we won't speak of at this moment in this thread thank you.] No, but I feel ... [his eyes dart] like I want to touch everyone. Which is why I asked for a hug. And it's still on the table, pal.

[notsoangry]

[Oh. Wow. Bruce was going to give him the benefit of the doubt this wasn't normal behavior. It seemed too connected to the skunk for that.] It might be an effect from the skunk, they have all kinds of gifts around here. Apparently there's a cat that can make you loopy. [He hadn't seen one yet.] And that means you aren't in control of yourself right now. It'll be okay. I'm sure it'll wear off. [Probably equivalent to when a skunk smell would last? Oh god that could be hours.]

Okay, Bellamy, I think we should get you to the inn. Maybe we can find help there. [He wasn't going to hug him, but he did offer him a hand up, and an arm to lean on.] Where are you from? [Distraction was key.]

[kingbellamy]

[Bellamy was a very tactile sort of person, he liked hugs and strong shoulder grips. But when Bruce tells him he's not in control of himself, he immediately clams up.] Oh god, I'm sorry.

[He takes the hand up and shoves his hands into his ... no pockets. He folds his arms behind him.] I didn't put these clothes on...
