Prompts

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!

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.

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.

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.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

He's silent for a moment as he stands, his head tilted up a bit and to one side, but then words are almost unnecessary here. His expression's that purely military forbidding thing that has struck terror into the hearts of many men and women, but Rhodey's ruining a long since perfected Scary Dad look with the glint of unholy glee in his eyes. Of course, Sam's not one to fall for the Scary Dad routine, anyway, so it's fine.

"You know, my mom used to have a poster with a similar position, but the cat was cuter, and it said Hang in There! Do you think we should paint that on the wall?"

As awkward as Sam's position on the wall is, he hasn't missed that glint in Rhodey's eye. The Scary Dad look is, well, scary, but he also knows Rhodey enough to not really be all that fazed by it. Still, two can play at this game, and Sam intends to rise to the occasion.

"Oh come on, man, you're telling me I don't make a cute cat?" He's decided that hamming it up is the best option here, so he couples that statement with his best and hopefully most convincing meow. "Got a paintbrush?"

It's what he likes best about Sam; Sam knows to play along, and it's a short list of people who actually look past the surface with Rhodey. He expects it's a short list of people who look past the surface in general, though, so he can't really blame them particularly.

"Dude, you don't even have the right ears. Without that you're a mangy dumpster cat who'll probably break into the kibble at first shot." Rhodey, come on, you're just describing your sometime college roommate. No, not Tony. "I'm fresh out of paint, but I guess I could help you down instead."
