Prompts

Happy anniversary, villagers! Buckle up!

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.

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!)

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.

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.

might be for the best around this place.

why didn't you drink before? [ since he had a compelling reason about not smoking weed, frank is curious. ]

[Where to even start.] I spent most of my time studying and working. I didn't have a normal college experience, I couldn't drink until my second PhD. [Did that sound like bragging, it didn't mean to be.] And for the past over a decade I've been incapable of being drunk. I was [was, not is] superhuman.

too smart to be talking to a pleb like me then.

[ but before he logs off: ] it's not you, it's this place. it does it to everyone but you probably figured that out already.

What? No, not at all, I mean, PhDs are overrated, seriously. Did I come off as obnoxious I'm sorry.

i was kidding, doc. i just meant everyone loses their powers when they get here. at least the ones they already had.

Oh. Good. I am really bad at talking to people, so I had to be sure. I can't say I'm sorry in my case. It was more a curse than anything else.

it's not my strong suit either.

so you're glad it's gone?

Yes. It's good for everyone. I was dangerous.

[ frank really doesn't like where this is heading... ]

dangerous how?

[How to even explain.] My powers [for lack of a term that he couldn't get into] were out of control. I tried my best, but it wasn't always enough. Now it's safe.

safe because they're gone?

sometimes they come back. just fyi - or sometimes you get a new one.

I really hope not. But if it happens, I have people here who will make sure it's under control. We used to be really good at it, back when the Avengers were a thing.

wait

you're an avenger??

[ wait again ]

the avengers aren't a thing anymore???

I was, but I'd been gone for a few years, Tony said the Avengers split up.

iron man's here. i mean tony. i don't know if you've talked to him yet.

that makes you the big green guy, doesn't it?

I found him, he's one of those people you say the name of, and everyone just seems to know him. Some things don't change.

Yeah. Hi. But he's gone now.

yeah he's kind of hard to miss.

you... him. he kind of wrecked up my neighborhood once. to be honest i didn't realize it was a you/him situation.

[Fuck where to even start apologizing.] I'm not sure there are enough sorries to say for that. But I'm sorry. And it's complicated. It's more a Jekyll/Hyde situation.

i wasn't there and from what i understand you also saved us from aliens so, it's cool.

Yeah, we did our best. So you're from New York?

Hell's Kitchen.

[They destroyed a lot of New York, so it could've been anywhere.] This place is drastically different.

from new york? yeah you could say that. welcome to your interdimensional kidnapping. this your first?

No, actually. Well. Sort of. I crash landed on another planet, you could say it was a kidnapping from the green guy.

so you don't remember what he does?
