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.

It's how her brother goes from a tux to a catsuit. You never saw that party trick?

[ Here he's got the know how but he's a solid century away from developing that kind of tech. So- it's not something he's hung up on recreating.

Work within your means, all that. ]

[freightcars]

Generally when he was in the thing near me it was just to rip my throat out, so
No

[ And then he slept for a couple years, woke up, herded some goats, and died. Not a lot of crime fighting side by side with the king of Wakanda.

Plenty of goats though. So many. ]

[nonstopnarcissist]

Not my pick for the team, seriously, can you say conflict of interests?

[ Of course his pick wasn't all that much better, something he's still kicking himself for. Bringing a kid into that mess? God. ]

[freightcars]

Turns out he felt bad enough for it to put me up and have his sister pull a bunch of murder out of my brain, so. Guess you could say it was worth it.

[ And about that kid - he still hasn't been able to swallow down the fact that he got bossed by a god damn teenager. Seriously.

His mind may be healed but his pride will never recover. Stark's got a small permanent victory there. ]

[nonstopnarcissist]

You know I was going to ask, but it didn't seem polite. Good for you. I mean, shitty cost but, good.

[ That is one less thing for him to worry about, here. ]

I can now sing nonsensical russian songs in good conscious.

[freightcars]

If my tendency to turn into a robotic killing machine was the only thing keeping you from doing that in the first place, let's pretend I'm still compromised and save the town morale.

[nonstopnarcissist]

My Russian is excellent, as is my singing voice. I'm offended, Terminator. You can sharpen your own axe.

[freightcars]

Talk about an axe to grind.

[ Get it. ]

Wouldn't you be the Terminator in this situation? He was the robot one right? Think I fell asleep midway through that one.

[nonstopnarcissist]

...I was kidding, but for that? Now I mean it. That was bad and you should feel bad.

[ Seriously, Barnes? ]

Who has a robot arm? I am 100% organic, home grown human being.

[freightcars]

Except for that USB port in your chest.
I was more talking about the whole flying around in a robot suit thing.

[nonstopnarcissist]

That's been gone for awhile. Fortunately.

[ Otherwise he'd have died in Siberia. Plasma burns on a heart are kind of lethal. ]

More anime, less action flick.

[freightcars]

Congratulations.

[ Since they're apparently in the habit of wishing each other well on the healing of their wounds or something. ]

Can't say I'm an anime guy, so. Sure. Take your word for it.

[nonstopnarcissist]

I recommend looking into it. Amnesiac brainwashed bestie is apparently a favorite trope of theirs.

[freightcars]

I think I've had my fill on that particular storyline, thanks anyway.

[nonstopnarcissist]

Point remains: Axe, not getting sharpened. Toaster oven, bottom of the list.

Anything else I can pointlessly deny you to satisfy a dead and buried grudge while we're at it?

[freightcars]

I guess you could insult my mother and take away my health care if you're running out of ways to salt the earth?

[nonstopnarcissist]

Unless you've got another mechanic on hand that can understand your arm in the wings should anything go wrong?

Probably not a good idea.

[freightcars]

The good news is if it malfunctions I'm trapped with it forever because nothing here can cut vibranium, so at least there's that.

[ Hurray. Imagine the horror of a misbehaving indestructable permanent limb. ]
