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.

idk man

most of the aliens i’ve seen wanted to take over not kidnap people

i’d guess secret government group personally

[overfivethousand]

you've seen a lot of aliens?

[Skeptical, but also intrigued.]

idk pretty sure by now most of the secret govt groups are all zombies

there's like one guy left in the nsa and he mostly just does the weather now. and a radio show, it's pretty good

i guess this could be a zona thing? i don't really know much about them. Pretty sure they arent government though

[expeditiousness]

well yeah there's been invasions

also some of my friends are aliens but they're not the ones trying to take over

#notallaliens my dude

no zombies in the secret govt group i got shipped off to tho

[overfivethousand]

wait what

I mean my uncle used to talk about aliens living among us, like replacing people and stuff

I guess I just didn't think he'd be right

why did you get shipped off to a secret govt group?

[expeditiousness]

yeah i think some of that happened but not with my friend

ted didn’t even know he was an alien until recently tbh

uh i accidentally vaporized my high school? they get a little cranky about that kinda thing where i’m from

[overfivethousand]

[There are a lot of questions to unpack in that collection of texts. But first:]

how did you accidentally vaporize an entire school

[expeditiousness]

on accident

not on purpose

[overfivethousand]

did you trip and fall into a barrel of nitroglycerin or

[expeditiousness]

no i just made the molecules vibrate real fast and it got a little out of control

it’s fine

no one got hurt besides me and it was forever ago anyway

[overfivethousand]

so you had superpowers before you got here?

that's so cool

I mean, getting put into a government project, less cool, but still

[expeditiousness]

yeah i'm a mutant i was born this way

the government doesn't think it's cool though

that superhuman registration act was complete bs

[overfivethousand]

I don't think we had one of those where I come from

or people with superpowers. But hey, we had zombies by the end, so who knows, anything's possible

[expeditiousness]

maybe that’s best

zombies + superpowers sounds like a real bad combo

[overfivethousand]

it definitely is. the one guy i know who's both is a real asshole

[expeditiousness]

i thought you said there weren't any people with superpowers where you're from

[overfivethousand]

i guess they're more like side effects? they were testing cures. Murphy was a jerk before it all happened, just now he's basically got zombie mind control, and when he bites people they end up like super zombies

also he's blue

[expeditiousness]

if that’s the cure it sounds like it’s time to go back the drawing board

for sure fix the blue thing
