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.

"There's a lake, but I'm not sure I'd trust it." Or much of anything around here. Still, he'll turn and start leading the way towards the bridge, not waiting to see if she'll follow. He's not being nice, he was going that way anyway!!

[delinquere]

Well of course she is going to follow, assuming he is leading her to the untrustworthy lake. She doesn't care right now, it's presumably cold and at the very least it's wet so that works for her.

"Why wouldn't you trust it?" she asks, scampering to catch up, fanning herself with her now sweaty grey scrubs again.

He's totally being nice. He's nice.

[nifties]

He's his version of nice, sure. It's a generous walk from the Inn to the Bridge, but he's trying to shuffle his gait a little quicker. He isn't heartless and he can tell she's uncomfortable.

"Seems like the sort of place nasty things might like to hide in, is all." Especially given the way the rest of this place is.

[delinquere]

"Like what?"

She's curious by nature, but this is an entirely new planet to her and as much as it is like a really nice, high end version of her Earth, there's loads of things she doesn't know and knowing about your environment is the key to survival.

If there is a Loch Ness monster in the lake but it's really chill and gives rides, she'd like to know. If it's gonna eat her, she'd also like to know.

[nifties]

"Like... demons, cryptids, sea monsters." So yes, Nessy is a very real possibility as far as John is concerned. "I suppose we'll find out while you get baptized, luv."

[delinquere]

"Those aren't real," Harper says, but even her tone sounds dubious like she's honestly not sure. They were just stories, like the myths that Bellamy knew all of or the ghost stories Miller entertained her with in the cave. They're not real though, people would know.

Right?

[nifties]

"You came out of a well in an alternate dimension, but draw the line at monsters? Good to know." John just shrugs, suit yourself. Should make it easy to make her risk herself to get some info on this place if she doesn't believe in the big bad wolf.
