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.
no subject
frozen meaning locked up or what?
no subject
Look at that British dame who wrote that story about that kid with the glasses
Think she made a couple million off that
Frozen meaning frozen
Cryogenically speaking
no subject
[At least he's mostly trying on the typing.]
cryogenics are a world away for most governments. maybe some corps...
even then theyre still light yrs away in most cases of reanimation without severe neurological issues.
and the longest duration with reanimation is not long enough to miss the 90s
not counting the bodies in personal storage for "when" they can bring them back safely
[He may well be just rambling now to work it all out in his own head.]
no subject
[ although harry potter's almost literally about dead kids and betrayed soldiers, but yeah, he acknowledges the difference between fiction and reality. hashtag relatable. ]
You'd be surprised.
Probably even more surprised if I told you they started freezing me in 1945.
Apparently you people think the 40s were the god damn dark ages or something.
no subject
not in the least. Much of the advances that are now my expertise started then
or older
cryo though tends to falter because we as humans still fuck up the connection
between fragile human tissue and cold machine literally
wait, what do you mean you people? what kind of people do you think i am?
45... end of ww2. related or coincident?
no subject
they popped me in and out of the freezer like an ice pack. no permanent damage that I know of
although I'm missing all my toes, probably not related right
[ kidding. ]
future people. or i guess current people is a better word for it. normal people.
related.
no subject
[His world may be computers and tech but scientific advancements, mankind's changes? Those intrigue him as well.]
frostbite aside what about memories? connective tissue? Cognitive brain function?
[So much for waiting to find out if it's rude or not.]
no subject
had a few memory and cognitive issues but trust me those were very unrelated to the freezing and thawing
no subject
Started in 45, how long on ice at the longest?
Did you volunteer for this? I know when they said special forces I was all like sure.
no idea what all it really meant until it was too late.
no subject
I've got sort of a genetic experimentation thing. Did all the hard work for them.
Long story.
Hard to say, I wasn't always myself. Decade, maybe, at most. Probably less.
No. Involuntary. Prisoner of war.
The enlistment was voluntary, though, and you're right about that. Never really knew what I was getting into until the foxholes. Too late to turn back after that.
no subject
Fuck. Look I'm sorry. I got excited and it was rude of me.
[Someone remembered their manners and that their nosiness wasn't the most important thing.]
Captain Jake Jensen. Special Forces. US Army. Technology and communications.
You?
[Every now and again and he remembers acting like a soldier. After berating himself for being an ass.]
no subject
[ Through a series of compartmentalization and dark humor he manages to cope. The only thing worse than talking about it would be shying away from talking about it. ]
Sergeant James Barnes, 107th Infantry, army national guard.
I go by Bucky.
Welcome to town, Cap. Almost seems like we're stocking the place with enough soldiers to fill a god damn platoon.
no subject
Don't think anyone has called me that. Usually it's Jensen, but Jake works.
How many are there here? You think that means something about why they're bringing us here?
no subject
Half a dozen at least, in some form or another.
Not sure if it's related, intentional, if they've got some kind of plot. The thing is, this genetic experimentation thing I had
It's this stuff that makes you stronger, faster, heal quicker, it's crazy powerful, but since I got here
It's gone
If they wanted to weaponize us I don't think they would have taken that away
no subject
Maybe it's the basic training. Survival training, working with a unit, all of that is useful here.
I'm one helluva hacker but that's not going to do me shit here.
The damn bracelet is like something my niece would have and she's 7
no subject
For what it's worth your niece could probably work this damn thing better than me too
There's a bunker here that has a few terminals
Not saying you're gonna get much from them, but maybe worth your time to look I guess
no subject
You're doing fine except the lack of text speak.
This by where you arrive?
no subject
Don't let me get your hopes too high, as far as I know, it's just for tube diagnostics and shit like that, but
Yeah, there's one there.
no subject
no subject
If you have any more questions or you just need a god damn drink to settle in, I'm happy to help.
We've got a bar here, so.
