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.

Comments

[quinientos]

"It's not only magic you could say this about," is Vasquez's knowing comment, seeing as the truth is that he thinks everything has a price. His life was one of them, and now that he's out of that situation, he's not eager to get it into trouble again.

A hair and blood? He shrugs, but thinks that he needs to know this man a little more before he hands them over. "I think maybe if we drink together, I decide if I like you," Vasquez says. "If yes, then you can have hair and as much blood as you want. Maybe even some cigarettes." But only after they drink.

[nifties]

He tips his head in concession. No, no it isn't.

"You've got a line on liquor too, mate? Aren't you the resourceful one. Alright, that's a fair trade if I've ever heard one." He gestures for Vasquez to lead the way as he rises to his feet. "Just so you know, though... liking me isn't a prerequisite for helping me. Just ask anyone who's ever done it."

[quinientos]

"I know how to take care of myself," he says, which is the truest thing that he's ever said, so he shrugs, because he doesn't think that he should be apologizing for it. After all, it means he's happy and when he's happy, people don't go getting shot.

"It's not about the like, it's about aligning myself with the right people." It all goes back to protecting himself, doesn't it?

[nifties]

"Did I suggest you don't?" But he's still following him to hopefully liquor and not some kind of weird murder scenario. Either way, it will give him something to do. The man's follow-up gives promise and John finds himself slotting in close again as they walk. Someone who isn't going to get attached to him is an imperative quality in an ally as far as John Constantine is concerned. Now the trick will be not getting attached himself. "Then you'll want to stay far away from me, mate."

[quinientos]

See, but that's the problem. He knows he should stay away from dangerous people, but...

Well, but sometimes, Vasquez is stupid about that, lured in by the prospect of danger when he knows he shouldn't be. It's a flaw. Still, he thinks for now, he could take the advice. Or just ignore it and give the other man a teasing smirk. "And leave you without your beeswax? No, cabron, I made a promise."

[nifties]

This is about how his first meetings usually go so he isn't truly fazed by Vasquez ignoring his warning. He will be glad for the help even as much as he pretends he's a lone warrior. The fact is he needs a support staff and this man will do nicely. "Then I put my faith in the right person. Good show."
