Prompts

1. STAYING POWER - Go down to the bunker, they said. You can get yourself amazing powers from the vending machine, they said. Well, you've done that, and you've made your choice, but one thing nobody told you was that unless it's a power you're familiar with, you might be on a teensy bit of a learning curve when it comes to keeping it under control. You have a week to figure it out without killing anyone; have fun!


2. FORGIVE AND... - You poor thing, you've gotten into some dust moths. Not that you can remember that, because depending on how big that swarm was and how quickly you got out of it, you might not remember much at all. Better hope somebody's got some Forget Me Nots on hand.


3. HIT & RUN - Life in the village can be pretty sleepy... until suddenly, it's not. Were you being a troublemaker? Were you disturbing the local wildlife? Because it's now disturbing you, chasing you down the street in front of everyone. Maybe it's a herd of chupapaca or a swarm of fireflies. Or maybe you went old school and it's just a really pissed off badger. Godspeed and good luck.


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.

[houmaprotector]

[The man's look cuts him to the quick. His features remain impassive. He's not good at showing human emotions so much. Still.]

I don't know. It's not death.

Listen. I need to find a flower, help me with that first would you? Forget me knots. If we find them that'll make the situation easier to understand.

[cryptoherpetology]

You have to just be using the name for something that actually has that effect, right? Describe the flower, I'll look.

[ He's only realizing now just how horrifying it is to be missing pieces of his memory. So much of his identity is tied in to his experience and knowledge that hunting for a flower is a hell of a lot easier than the existential crisis he's going to have if he can't find it. ]

[houmaprotector]

Soft blue with 9 petals. A light yellow stamen.

[He gestures.] They'll be lower to the ground in larger patches of green grass. We need several.

[His arms touch the ground and root briefly. Then he pulls himself out and looks to him, concerned.] No one died. You are simply...in a place far from your home.

[cryptoherpetology]

Alright, okay. [ He repeats the description to himself under his breath as he begins to search through the brush, first for the grass patches ]

Australia far, or- [ frown ] further.

[ He has a few of the blossoms in his hand, and spots a few more a few yards away. He walks very, very carefully to fetch them while he listens. ]

[houmaprotector]

...No.

This is a place called the village. It's...not the safest place like Australia.

[He's never liked going there. The few plants that are there have problems. Not accents but attitudes.]

I've never liked the plants in Australia. Come. Your home is that way.

[he points.]

What's the last thing you remember before I appeared?
