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.

Comments

[eaglesonofnone]

Oddly, these words were the ones that placed a blanket of calm over his shoulders, his chin raising with a deep confidence that came from his soul as much as his mind. True enough that he wore no hood, carried no blade, but in that moment it could be no plainer that he was not a man who needed them. Years of training, decades of adversity. Both had given him complete certainty in himself, in his abilities, and in his devotion to this cause. His eyes gleamed yellow and he looked to Jacob's, unflinching.

"I am used to hard battles," he said. And then, voice quieter but heavy with steel, he went on: "The name of Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad has been known and respected for years. A world apart, it will be again. We are Assassins. And we will keep the worlds free."

[relentlessness]

Oh but Jacob's smile is huge at that, lit up as he sees it come together, the haze lift and his eyes sharpen. Straightening in that moment, giving a tug on his makeshift jacket and certainly presenting himself as the man he knows he is.

Hearing those words, the truth in them as well as seeing that the connection has truly been made.

"That we will. Which means finding the way to freedom in this world. And look, a name and everything." He pauses then, head canting. "I'm going to take it you are remembering it all though. Good. I won't have to try shock therapy next." Which would have likely led to another fight that he doesn't want to have against another assassin.

"And if we must be here doing this, at least we're not alone." Because he's not used to being alone in this. He's always had another assassin alongside him, and he's glad for that here as well, even if he acutely misses Evie.

"The two of us must have been chosen for a reason and time will tell us that reason," he agreed. "But for now, it would behoove us to investigate. Though..."

Altaïr would make one allowance: "Possibly after I've regained more of my memory. I remember things that happened before here, but not how I came to be here, or what's happened since. Perhaps it's here that my memories were lost, rather than in Masyaf."

[relentlessness]

"Let's go to the Inn then," he says, stepping back and gesturing grandly. "Come on then. At least there's food, and if I'm lucky someone will have a bottle of something that I can borrow a glass or two from," he says, sounding secure in that so perhaps it's something he's done before.

"Shall we?"

[eaglesonofnone]

"We shall." A fellow Assassin - somehow, despite the clothing. But the hood, the mannerisms... Moment by moment, he felt his guard easing. And that, he knew, was no small feat. He would give the man a degree of trust - for the better.
