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.

Like, a celebration of life? I like the sound of that.

[demiurgency]

Yeah. Yeah, that's a good way to put it. I mean, it's a serious occasion, but there's the party afterward. My dad likes to joke that we just love any excuse to have a party, but it's good to celebrate milestones, you know? Like, birthdays are important, but it's different when it's A Birthday. One of the important numbers.

[to_defend]

What numbers are important?

[demiurgency]

I mean, they're all important when you're a kid, but you know

13, because you're a teenager now, and if you're Jewish that means bar mitzvah

or bat mitzvah if you're a girl, because genders are still a thing, apparently

18, old enough to vote, or get drafted, see an R-rated movie, be considered an adult by the rest of society, sort of

21, old enough to drink legally

after that, it's just decades, I think. as many as you get

[to_defend]

Why would you get a different one if you're a girl?

[demiurgency]

I mean the actual ceremony is pretty much the same, but there's still a different word for it

My family's reformed so girls and guys both have theirs at 13 but I think in Orthodox girls do theirs at 12? Something about puberty

[to_defend]

That's so odd!
