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.

[quiteliterally]

You do make that face all the time. Usually I would say that's delightful, why didn't I say that? Hey- Do you think this could have anything to do with the fact that the artery-deteriorating but delicious confection I just ingested is the same color as your new smartwatch?

[dunshire]

[Cue more and more staring. He's about two seconds away from a panic attack at all times and he really can't handle this right now.]

I don't think one piece of candy is going to deteriorate your arteries. [Which isn't the point here, so -]

Okay, you know what? No, I don't think eating a piece of candy the same color as my high-tech comm device would do anything. Are you sure you're not just...I don't know, gassy or something?

[quiteliterally]

[ if ben has a panic attack he's going to have a panic attack and HE really can't handle that right now. ]

Or is it? [ compelling, but he can't afford to think about it too long. ] I'm not gassy, Ben! I think. I think I'm upset.

[dunshire]

[Oh god they're both going to end up curled on the floor in the fetal position crying. Where's Leslie when they need her? She's good at forcing people to be optimistic.]

Look, I think I know enough about things that can happen in situations like this. Between the two of us, who's the bigger Star Trek fan? [What this has to do with Star Trek, no one but Ben knows. The answer is likely nerdy and he doesn't bother elaborating because he knows no one cares.]

I just don't think there's anything wrong with being upset that you've been kidnapped and forced to live here like -

Wait. Do you think this is all some kind of candid camera reality show? [He starts looking around because Leslie has to be behind this. She'll pop out at any second and save them both. Yep.]

[gymnasiums]

I don't really see how that's relevant.

[ chris continues to frown, and it's starting to look seriously pathetic. ]

But this place is stupendous... or. I thought so this morning. Now I think it might be some kind of cult. [ he grimaces like some greater force might strike him down where he stands for not being the epitome of positivity. ]

[dunshire]

[And now Ben stares deadpan at a camera that isn't there. Seriously? Now Chris is thinking this is a cult?]

I'm curious. What about all of this kept you from thinking that before?

[He's amused now, at least. Look, he's even smiling in an Oh Chris kind of way.]

[gymnasiums]

Oh, well, mainly how friendly and amazing everyone is. Though it only now occurs to me that some of them may have been being sarcastic when they welcomed me to Hell...

[ oh. that's unsettling. ]

I don't like being unsettled, Ben. How do you handle this feeling?
