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.

The Doctor has ever been one for adventure. And for finding his way into trouble besides, so really it's hardly much of a surprise when the ground falls out from under him and he goes head over heels into a pit. Which is certainly undignified, yes. But as far as mishaps go he's certainly had worse; by the time Horatio ends up peering over the edge he's already most of the way up to his feet.

"Ah, no. Or not any worse than a bit of a blow to my pride, anyway. Although getting back out might be a little difficult with everything this wet."

Not that he won't give it his best effort, of course. But it's certainly not going to be the easiest of tasks, either.

He's standing. Good. A broken limb would make things substantially more difficult - Horatio learned as much during his brief time as a ground combatant in Muzillac, and it's not a struggle he cares to repeat.

He frowns and furrows his brow in thought, glancing at the walls of the ravine upstream and downstream in search of a better place to climb than this one. Almost all of the ground looks quite weak, but there's a small section of woody roots on one side of the gulley about 4 meters back, and he imagines they will probably hold - provided the Doctor can get enough traction at the base of the wall to reach them.

Horatio inclines his head in that general direction. "Over there - do you think you can reach that mass of roots?"
