Prompts

Happy anniversary, villagers! Buckle up!

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.

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!)

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.

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.

Quite honestly, Sirius has no idea what in the hell to do with Harry being here.

Which isn't to say he isn't pleased — He is, inordinately. But it's well odd when the last time he'd seen Harry back home, he'd been a baby, and now here he comes popping out the fountain full-grown and looking more like James than ought to be allowed. Sirius feels torn, really, between the innate need to be near his godson, and to just stay well away because obviously Sirius is the cause of all of Harry's troubles and the kid is much better off without him. Between that and Sirius not being as old as Harry remembers, it's been a bit of an awkward go of it since he turned up.

But none of that means Sirius doesn't care, or doesn't spend what is probably entirely too much time lurking nearby trying to get his head around it all while he does the one thing he reckons he might still manage, which is keep Harry alive.

The red salt seems unlikely to kill anybody, but Sirius has experienced its wrath himself, and he jolts for the inn kitchen almost as soon as he enters the room and spies Harry's face, returning a moment later with a cup of milk.

"Ignore the color, it tastes the same," he insists as he thrusts the cup Harry's way, slopping a little of the pale green liquid onto the floor.
