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

[cinere]

He rolls his eyes again, but he's trying. He really is.

"A rabbit that I caught and prepared myself. Hunting and roasting I can do, seasoning still needs a bit of work. I am not a novice at surviving on my own."

[spoileralert]

"Part of surviving means getting medical help when you need it. Just... stick around, okay? Let someone know if you like, burst into flames or something." There's a plant that does that, if she remembers right. Or maybe it was an animal... There's a lot to remember.

[cinere]

"...." He gave her a look, his green eyes narrowing some. "I am not a child. I know how to take care of myself. I am not going to die from this." He barked a bit. "As for bursting into flames, is there a way to do that? I can tell the fonons can't be tapped but is there a plant or something that creates fire?"

[spoileralert]

"Yeah, you're also a guy." And guys, in her experience, don't know when to ask for help.

She shrugs.

"I'm pretty sure there is, but I'll have to check the guide again. I mostly memorized what things could kill you."

[cinere]

"What does that have to do with anything?" He snapped back, and she was so right, that male pride played a lot into it.

"Wait, I want to see this guide."

[spoileralert]

"It means your machismo will probably be the literal death of you," she informed him bluntly. She knew it and he knew it, but it deserved to be said aloud.

"It's at the inn, in the storeroom. At least, that's where I saw it last. It's free to be borrowed."

[cinere]

"The literal death of me was swords stuck through me. I've already died." He spoke as he pushed himself up, the rabbit ignored despite the burning still being there. Like his talk of death meant nothing.

"I will go seek it then." He added like he didn't drop a bomb.

[spoileralert]

Steph shrugs, unimpressed.

"Same, more or less. And won't you be embarrassed if you die a second time?"

sarcastic suicidal mentionings

[cinere]

"Maybe it will stick a second time." He wasn't suicidal, he was proud and wanted to go out in battle like he had already done. But, he was a dick so it felt the right thing to say. "It would only be embarrassing if I died in an embarrassing way." No one wants to die using the bathroom, that's all I'm saying.

[spoileralert]

“Say, by bursting into flames because you were too stubborn to accept help?”

[cinere]

"...point, but I doubt that will happen."

[spoileralert]

She gives a very disbelieving snort.

“Well if it does you can’t say I didn’t try to stop you.”

[cinere]

"I won't, I would be dead." He replies very dry, folding his arms of his chest.

if you’re down we can cut this short and I’ll tag in to his intro

[spoileralert]

That makes her snicker, whether he meant it to or not. It earns him a few points in her book.

“You know where the inn is or do you need a guide?”

I'm down!

[cinere]

He rose a brow but something about the way he looked give away he was kidding even though he kept a straight face. "Yes, I know where it is. Thanks." He replied moving on to move towards the inn.
