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.

[While it's easy to get through this place without working too hard, at least now while the weather is holding and beautiful, Ashley is used to having something to do. Missions, reports, training, all of it is there for her.

She isn't letting that go in whatever this place is. She just isn't willing to let any this place can throw at her catch her off guard. Which has led to working on building an arsenal from the things they have, working out as often as she can, and hitting up the forests for whatever supplies she can start to collect for when the weather changes, and she truly does believe it will get bad come winter given the environment.

Catching sight of someone else, she doesn't think much of them being out and about. Maybe new given the scrubs, and she remembers being that person. And then they turn, yelling at something.

Opening her mouth, any warning that might have been there is too late as he's sprayed and goes down.]

Shit. No one mentioned killer skunks.

[Sliding out of the jacket she has on, she shakes it to wave the thing away as she approaches. Dropping to one knee beside him, she fumbles her his neck. Bracing for the smell of skunk, confusion setting in when there is none.

She sighs with relief.]

Hey! Can you hear me?

[She shakes him slightly.]

Come on. I don't know how good the medical is here, and they might be mad scientists, so wake up.

[kingbellamy]

[Her panic doesn't have to go on much longer, because Bellamy comes to. When he awakes, there's a beautiful woman above him. He grins stupidly.] Heeeeeeeey.

[Don't you have a girlfriend, Bell? For some reason, he's feeling very touchy feely. Everyone is beautiful and he wants to touch all of them.] Are you here to rescue me?

[connatural]

[Ashley blows out a sigh of relief when his eyes open, settling back on her heels though she's looking over him. His chest to see his breathing, taking in the brightness of his eyes and his coloring.]

Hey there yourself. [She can't help but smile.] Looks like it. Figured I couldn't just leave you out here to die. You okay?

[kingbellamy]

[Don't forget his face full of freckles, Ashley. Those are important. He continues to smile at her, without moving.] Um. I think so. I don't know where I am. [If not for the skunk, he'd be a little more adamant about this.]

[connatural]

Well, that makes a bunch of us. Did you not have a clue before, or did you hit your head?

[Those are important questions, after all.]

Wish I had answers for you either way, but I'm still adjusting to the whole status as among the kidnapped as well.

[kingbellamy]

I didn't hit my head. [He didn't like not having control over himself. He sat on his hands.] The skunk must have had some effect on me.

[connatural]

Always fall over from animals protecting themselves? [Trying hard not to smile at teasing him, and desperately failing.]

[kingbellamy]

[Bellamy smiled-- but it was a self deprecating smile, the kind he tries to hide.] I didn't do anything to it, honest.

[connatural]

[Ashley frowns though at that reaction.]

Do you have a medical history that would explain you passing out? Do you think you hit your head? Seriously, I want to move you but I also don't want to hurt you more.
