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.

this thing on my wrist. I can't get it off.

[spoileralert]

technically I think it's a watch. as you've discovered it does do more than just tell time.

[scowlish]

I've never seen anything like it

[That doesn't mean he likes it. Actually it means he doesn't like it.]

[spoileralert]

welcome to the 19th century! I assure you the crocodile dogs and bitey sheep are not normal.

[scowlish]

19th century? aren't we in the 21st?

[spoileralert]

19th is when wristwatches were invented. tho going by the tech it's more like early 20th here

[scowlish]

oh.

I know about the old world and watches but not ones like this. early 20th is old world. hm

[spoileralert]

yeah, the texting capability is unusual. but this whole place is pretty weird so that's low on the totem pole

[scowlish]

this is called texting?

yeah this place is definitely weird. is the fish safe?

[spoileralert]

correctamundo

as far as I know it's fine, but I have no idea how to fish so I haven't done much research
