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

TEXT. UN: Barnes.

[freightcars]

Hate to disappoint you, but our stock's mostly moonshine and toilet wine, with the occasional aside of bathtub vodka.
On the bright side, nobody's gone blind yet.

TEXT. UN: Dr. Banner

[notsoangry]

I feel like I need to circle the bathtub vodka with a red pen. I'm not sure why that bothers me more than toilet wine, and yet.

UN: Barnes

[freightcars]

Probably because of all the bathing.

UN: Dr. Banner

[notsoangry]

I'm not really that squeamish, I'm not sure why my head is getting stuck on it. I've never had moonshine, how bad is it?

UN: Barnes

[freightcars]

It's sort of like gasoline and peaches at a 99 to 1 ratio.

Re: UN: Barnes

[notsoangry]

I've never been drunk before, really, so I feel like that's the answer if it's what I want.

UN: Barnes

[freightcars]

What seriously? This is your first time?
In that case, I guess I can let you in on a secret.

UN: Dr. Banner

[notsoangry]

I think I got tipsy once in college with Betty, but I drank copious amounts of water immediately because I am the life of every party I've ever been to.

Secret, huh?

[freightcars]

You sound like a real animal, I bet you're a hoot at bar mitzvahs.
I've got a stash of honest to god liquor I've been saving for special occasions. If it really is your first time, I guess I could part with some.

[notsoangry]

I'm not so bad at dancing the hora, but don't ask for evidence, just take my word for it.

Oh that's really kind of you. [Torn between saying yes so as not to reject an offer, and saying no because then Bucky could keep it. Jeopardy theme music.] I mean, if you don't mind? I have a suspicion it won't take much.

[freightcars]

Raincheck that hora for me and you've got a deal.
I'm sure Tony's gonna want in too, whether it's because he wants to see your drunk virginity maimed or because he's a sucker for the Macallan I've been hiding from him, hard to say.
Should be a good night.

[notsoangry]

I would say we could try to hide it from him or make him work for it, but that sounds like a lot of effort and he's very persistent. He breaks out the nicknames. Has he given you a nickname yet?

[freightcars]

Socket
Two Buck Chuck
From Russia With Murder
The Winter Smolder
Bucky Bear
Manchurian Candidate
Hunt for Red October
De Frostie the Snowman

I'm sure I'm missing a couple.

[notsoangry]

Don't worry, I promise never to call you The Winter Smolder. Sober.

[freightcars]

Thanks. Good looking out.
Good luck on your integration, let me know when you're ready for the tequila. I'll gather up some trash cans in the meantime. Never hurts to be prepared.

[notsoangry]

Thanks.

What do you prefer to be called?

[freightcars]

Bucky.
Bruce, right? Not to be, you know, creepy but
You're a little famous

[ And Hydra's got about six stacks of files on you, pal. ]

[notsoangry]

[Oh dear god.] Yeah, I guess I am. It's Bruce. I'm much less exciting and terrifying in reality. I know you too, but mostly the war parts.

[freightcars]

Guess that's one thing we've got in common.
Can't help but ask if you know about the

other parts

[notsoangry]

Some of the other parts. Anything that happened before/during Ultron? I was gone after that. We didn't exactly have time to trade any more notes. But I'd rather here from people in their own time what they want to say.

[freightcars]

Personally I'd rather not say anything about it at all ever
If it's all the same to you

[notsoangry]

That's fine by me. We're new to each other, let's just start and continue from there.

[freightcars]

Deal
You learn more about a man after six shots of tequila anyway.

[notsoangry]

I have this small hope that drunk Banner is somehow my briefly cooler self.

[freightcars]

I'll keep you posted. Take some notes. Get back to you on a verdict.
