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.

I fell asleep and then I woke up here again. It doesn't feel like time has past but it's been months.

[nifties]

Interesting. Could have been a mystical coma or the like, in that case. What's the last thing you remember before coming back here?

[minus1twin]

Maybe.

I don't remember anything except going to sleep and waking up.

[nifties]

Let's table that for now, shall we? What sort of witch are you?

[minus1twin]

I'm not sure what you'd call it but I can move things with my mind.

Among other things.

[nifties]

Telekinesis. Impressive, but boring.

What other things?

[minus1twin]

Don't you have a winning personality.

How about we trade off, you tell me some about you and Ill tell you more about me.

[nifties]

My charm has gotten me far in life. Ta for noticing.

Alongside that particular skill, I dabble in magics myself. Though my field of speciality is exorcism. [ thus his own screenname. ]

[minus1twin]

I can also enter another's mind, see what secrets they have hidden there and show them their greatest hope or most terrible fear.

[There is a reason why Wanda doesn't lead with that little piece of information about herself. It usually makes people uncomfortable, rightfully so, but it isn't as if Wanda uses those powers willy-nilly. It likely helps that she doesn't have access to her powers here.]

[nifties]

Now that's interesting. Manipulating minds like that is old magic indeed. Nothing to trifle with either. Were you in the habit of using your gift before it was stripped away by this place?

[minus1twin]

I have a handful of times.

More often than not I use it to influence bystanders to leave an area. With one clear objective I can reach out to many weak willed minds at once.
