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.

"Every night. " Is she going to Havre to knock you out Eddie to ensure you get some shuteye?

"- and you probably don't want to risk the rest of the village finding out, at least not before you've gotten a chance to passionate them." She crosses her arms and looks at him - them, even if Venom isn't necessarily visible at this moment. "I can keep him company sometimes. Keep him busy while I have this enhancement. Maybe make sure he stays out of trouble. "

[imareporter]

"Okay except you need your sleep too."

Let Her! It is a chance for us to get together with her again. Venom churns inside of him and he twists, putting a hand on his chest before frowning.

"...happens when it's dark outside."

[can_fight_ugly]

"I'll get my sleep. I've worked my way around late nights and early mornings before." She's confident she'll be able to handle this aspect of it better than it looks like Eddie has.

"Then we'll wait for dark. Until then, we - fix this door, with or without the illustrious Tony Stark, and when you feel the time is right, we'll take a late-night stroll and, see what can be done."

[imareporter]

"You are into this."

More then you are! How will we make a good impression if we are not strong? Get your shit together!

Eddie rolls his eyes, "The door's not gonna go back on it's hinges without the screws and my dear you've ripped the screws clean off their hinges."

That is decidedly arousing.

Eddie freezes.

"...Never say that again."

Nope. Nope.

Learn from her Eddie. You are just as capable as she is, if not moreso. You are an outstanding host but this...her interest...

Nope.

"...We need Tony." or someone who can make screws.

[can_fight_ugly]

She's a little impressed with herself, even, looking at the door and coming to agree that this is not any sort of an easily salvageable --

"Never say what?" She gives him a side-eye, knowing full well that he wasn't commenting on anything she may or may have not said. She was curious what was actually going on in there, but she's willing to let it slide.

"I think it might be best if you handle the Tony part of the situation; he knows you better, and someone needs to watch the door.

[imareporter]

"I'm game with that." He puts his hands on his hips before grinning, "Hey remember that time we tried to repair the closet door in the apartment and I hit my hand with the hammer and broke my thumb? And I was so paranoid about it because I was scared I was gonna lose the ability to write? You were so panicked that you kept yelling at me."

He grins, "That's how you show concern. With yelling."

It is arousing.

"What the -hell did I say about saying that?"

He whaps himself upside the head, "Stop it love."

[can_fight_ugly]

"I kept yelling because you were yelling!" She shakes her head, but she's smiling. "That's the only way you'll hear it over your own yammering, loudmouth."

Smiling, though. Dammit Eddie, why did it have to be you here?

Another argument between the bonded lovers, though, and she's got to intervene, reaching over to grab his hand and shove her fingers between his for more control, pull it away from his head. "Hey - hey. I am sure that nothing he said is grounds for this, okay? Alright?" Her other hand rests on his shoulder, gives it a gentle squeeze. It had been tempting to cup his cheek, but she's already in precarious waters here with him and she doesn't want to muddy them more than they already were.

[imareporter]

Ah. Touch

Eddie freezes totally surprised and Venom purrs. For a brief moment there's something animal in his expression, in his demeanor and posture, something utterly inhuman before he nods mutely.


Then shakes it off.

"It likes you."

His voice is soft, "...It wants me to be more like you."

[can_fight_ugly]

Ah. This was a mistake. That animalistic look - that really shouldn't be eliciting the flutter that it just did, something between panic and anticipation. But she couldn't take her hands back without seeming disgusted.

She smiles at him, not forced, but melancholic. She pats his shoulder, pats his hand, and then lets go and stands back.

"Well, it's going to have to learn to like you." It's what's sensible, and from all accounts it's what's possible here in this odd world. Still, she can't help but remember her own run with the symbiote, that power. She purses her lips in the awkward silence, and then gives him a wave, "Go, get Tony, let's get this door fixed."

[imareporter]

"Yes ma'am."

He salutes, a smile on his face, but it fades the moment he's down the hallway. Looking back at her with a sense of longing he doesn't know what disturbs him more. That he feels that - or that Venom feels that.
