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.

[Imagine, being a swamp monster. Then imagine being a swamp god. Then imagine being a being of unimaginable power who is suddenly cut off but still remains...a great big swamp monster. That's probably why Alec has stuck to messaging people even if it took him a few minutes to figure out how to work his comm.

Just a ghost in the machine. No one pay attention to him. It's better anyway. for anybody. He can hide, maybe help drop plants into places where people can find. Spending his days foraging for plants, wild berries and roots, he's found all sorts of these things in the woods.

He doesn't like it. It's a regression for him, but it's easier since he's pretty sure if he showed himself, he'd be shot. Or worse. Without the green there was no way to come back from that. Without his abilities, he'd die.

No point in being useless, or sitting there and rooting himself and waiting for things to work themselves out so he's been bringing food to the edge of the woods and leaving it in big patches, trying to make beds to put it on before stomping back into the woods.

Today he's found some good asparagus and several garlic buds. Who figured there'd be garlic out here? He's so busy that he doesn't notice anyone or anything, carefully leaving out what he intended to bring people.

Trying to be useful.]
