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.

Wanda Maximoff -- MCU (6th Iteration CRAU)

[minus1twin]

HEAT WAVE

It was a surprise to find herself back in the village though it wasn't as unpleasant as the last time she was here.

She had spent several long months in the simulation while only spending a short amount of time in the area that she had internally classified as the 'real world'. Now she had time to explore and for the moment things at home weren't to dire to act as a distraction; for once the world wasn't falling to pieces.

Wanda visited the inn first. She tried to see who had come and gone from the last time she'd been here as well as find herself something to eat. The food selections have grown significantly during her absence and she decided to throw caution to the wind and try something new.

That had been a mistake.

The moment that the dish touched her tongue Wanda felt the heat of the spice. She wasn't going to waste food but each additional bite made her discomfort rise. She was used to the heavily spiced foods of Sokovia but nothing there had prepared her for this.

Anyone walking into the kitchen will see Wanda holding onto the counter, her shoulders slumped forward and tears in her eyes.

SKUNK DRUNK

The wildlife was strange, new and rude. Wanda had been trying to map out the area around the village when she had come across the brown skunk. She knew what a skunk was, even if she didn't recognize the breed or have an additional information about the species, but her attempts to avoid it had been futile and it had inevitably sprayed her.

She stomped through the forest, away from the skunk while following the soft echoing sounds of the river.

Hopefully, she'll be able to jump in and wash off the wet feeling of the skunk spray. It didn't smell but that didn't mean that Wanda wanted it on her.

T E X T

I see these are getting some use.

Is anyone here who remembers me from the last time I was here?

[ooc: Feel free to make up prompts for any of the above and wildcard it too. I'm easy and good with whatever. She'll be wandering and getting her barring's again.]

UN: Barnes

[freightcars]

I've been here before, apparently, but I don't remember it. If we were here at the same time, I'm sorry, it's gone.
But I remember you from out there. Never got a chance to thank you.

[ For fighting with him, with Steve, at the airport. ]

[minus1twin]

You don't need to thank me. It's what friends do.
I do remember you from the last time you were here but that's okay. We can always start over.

[freightcars]

That seems to be the running joke even before I got here. At least it's consistent.
Were we close?

[minus1twin]

You could say that, we have a lot in common.
And we bonded over spoons.

[freightcars]

Typical me and my well-known love of cutlery?

[minus1twin]

Not exactly, sorry, I was trying to be funny.
When we first spoke here you were very focused on your spoon.

[freightcars]

Unfortunately that makes a little more sense.

[minus1twin]

You had a lot on your mind.

I think we were supposed to build a pillow fort before I was sent back home.

[It feels kinda if random now but Wanda still has those memories. She'd been trying to cheer him up and that's what had come to mind.]

[freightcars]

There's always a lot on my mind.
Usually not pillow forts.

[ As a matter of fact, not a single time has it been pillow forts. It would make a welcome relief for what he normally contemplates. ]

[minus1twin]

You should give it some thought.
Then we can finally build one.

[freightcars]

I can't guarantee I wouldn't get carried away.

[ By robbing all of the rooms within the inn and creating reinforced pillow walls, some kind of beach house, a labyrinth in the back... ]

[minus1twin]

I don't think that'll be a bad thing. We all need a little fun in this place.

Heat Wave

[pretendtoneedme]

Clint had come to the inn to drop off his normal load of meat, not expecting to find anyone that would surprise him there. He still fed his own house and a couple of others with the game he found first, but with the recent torrential rains and the lack of good hunting during storms, he'd shifted focus a little more towards supplying the inn, since they saw to the well-being of so many. Kate Kelly was exceptionally good at making a little last a long way, so it was probably best if she was in charge of most of it.

The last thing he expected to see was Wanda. She'd left weeks ago. Months, even. When had it been? Why was everything starting to blur together for him? Whatever, it didn't matter - the important thing was that she was there. The second most important thing was that she was very obviously in pain.

"Wanda! What happened, are you okay?" he asked, rushing forward and dropping the bag of meat on the counter as he moved to grab her and get her to look him in the face so he could get a better read of her symptoms.

Heat Wave

[minus1twin]

Wanda had expected to see Clint at one point or another. If she hadn't caught him at the inn she was going to head to the house to see if she could get her old room back. She didn't know how much had changed or if another version of her had arrived and disappeared before her latest re-arrival. It was hard to with this place and Wanda hadn't wanted to assume anything without first talking to Clint.

Of course, right now her thoughts were more focused on the feeling of burning from the inside out. She looked up at Clint, tears dotting the corner of her eyes as she waved a hand at her flushed cheeks.

"Clint!" Her voice was stressed and a little high pitched. "Good to see you. I-" She tried to shake her head. "Ate something hot." Her fingers pressed against the underside of her nose as if that might stop the burning sensation from wrecking havoc on her senses.

un: Jean-Luc Picard

[enterprisingheart]

I do. It's been... a handful of months, but not too long.

[minus1twin]

Picard. Is Beverly still here too?
How are things?

[enterprisingheart]

She is. And they've been... largely as normal, for here.

[minus1twin]

Largely normal?
Sounds like I have some catch up to do.
How's the house?
Is Clint here?

[enterprisingheart]

Yes. We seem to have changed locations, but the buildings remain as they were. Which includes the house. And he is.

[minus1twin]

I'll stop by.
Is my room still there?

[enterprisingheart]

It is, yes.

[minus1twin]

Hopefully it's okay if I move back in?

[enterprisingheart]

Absolutely!

[minus1twin]

Good.

Ill see you soon.
