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.

It's kind of hard to see where that voice is coming from, or even that there's one coming at all over his cursing, but somehow he manages to hear it anyway, and his head darts around, until it lands on the guy near the house.

"Shut up! I'm figuring it out!" He's not. This is a damn mess. But at least the blow to the stomach seemed to knock enough wind out of him that he must have shut off the power, for now at least, because there's nothing clinging to him anymore, he's just surrounded by a sea of metal objects.

He stands, kicks a pot and watches as it flies down the street with a sense of satisfaction, before he turns his attention again to the stranger. Cuts. Right. He has some of those. He probably should get patched up. Who knows what weird ass infections he might catch in this place. And that sure as hell isn't going to be what kills him.

"Yeah, fine."

"I can see that." Ty said smartly, trying not to look too amused, but being an outsider to this was a whole lot funnier than being the one affected by it. Cutlery only seemed dangerous when it had been chasing him. But at least it looked like it was under control for now, metal carpeting the road around the guy. It was impressive he was still able to move with all of that weighing him down, but it might be best not to mention it. It might jinx whatever control this guy had just gotten.

"If you think you have it under control, you're welcome to come inside." Ty said, leaving the door open as he headed back into the house. He'd been collecting spring water to see how long the healing effects of it would last, and even with his few weeks of experimentation, it was obvious it was best straight from the source, but the effects were still in place even days down the road.

He picked up one of the jars full of his most recent sampling as well as a few strips of cloth, heading back out.

"This is most effective if it can soak into your skin."
