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.

Sometimes Eddie just needs to go. Get out, pace. That's Venom, he knows it's Venom. The two are at an impasse at their individual lack of freedom at this point. Tied together. Truly bonded and it's...

He's always been a go-with-the-flow kinda guy unless you truly had to dig in. Like somebody'd once said "plant yourself like a tree and say "no you move-" (he'd heard that somewhere, school maybe?) but most of the time just practice the Zen art of not giving a fuck.

That had been what motivated joining with venom in the first place post Life Foundation. It's sometimes...fascinating to just let his other take control.

so he's on the edge of his normal walks and his hands splay out while Venom curls inside. That's...

Not a human.

What is that? Venom mumbles and mutters, What is that what is that?

"...It's fine. I'm just walkin' man."

[praypal]

The not-a-human smiles cheerfully, waving a tri-digit hand, spaded tail arching up and over his head, almost like a content cat's question-mark-tail posture, in (usually) bipedal form.

"Don't let me interrupt you, then. Sorry if I startled you, I'm aware that not everyone has had a chance to acclimate to my appearance yet," he says, accented voice betraying some slight chagrin, but no trace of shame. "My name is Kurt, by the way. Kurt Wagner."

[imareporter]

"Eddie Brock." There's a tug, a pull in his arm and fingers that might make it look like he's struggling to shake the other man's hand, "Have you met the guy made of plants yet? This isn't normal I'm just-"

Jumpy?

acclimating.

"An asshole. Apparently."

[praypal]

"Hardly the rudest first meeting I've had. Once you've been set upon by a genuine mob of torch-wielding villagers, you learn to forgive the occasional lack of social graces." He has been a drinking buddy to several versions of Wolverine at this point, after all.

"As for Doctor Holland, we have spoken a few times. It is a little hard not to get to know everyone at least a little around here, I suppose."

[imareporter]

"Did that happen to you? Chased by torch wielding villagers?" His concern is evident, "Sons of bitches. I'm sorry man."

He shrugs, "Holland's an okay...guy? Plant? Whatever he identifies as? that kinda shit's more important then people consider."
