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.

"Yes, exactly. There are a lot of interesting animals here. Even some more interesting than ours." But no less deadly in a few examples. The fever snakes alone almost killed half the village from illness. She knew something called a Wendigo came down too and attacked. There were a lot of things written in the inn if you went looking for it. "There's this powder that if you inhale it, it can make you intangible. You walk through walls and people can't grab you." Rinoa saw it with her own eyes. It wasn't the same as what Edea could do, but it made her almost jump out of her skin all the same.

Rinoa went through her mind to see if she could remember the moth cure, but it really had left her. "It wears off eventually," she assured him. "I guess if you inhale too much though, it can get very serious. You could forget who you are, where you're from, your past." She never wanted to simply forget everything again, so she kept a very close eye out for moths. They seemed so harmless!

"Oh, yes, I was getting us kindling. Sometimes you can find it in the forest. There are a lot of very good wood cutters stockpiling for the winter, so I left the big stuff to them." Rinoa was good at many things, but hitting things with axes was not the top of her list. She pointed to the little pile she already made and picked it up again. "This will start them, at least." It was something she was capable of adding. "I don't know much about surviving off the land or what to do about having no technology. So I found other things to do!"

The sheltered little girl was a persona she was really trying to shed.

More interesting than Bitebugs and Rightys and, Hyne forbid, Toramas? His expression spoke volumes for him, saying he wasn't quite sure about that fact. Could things anywhere be quite so intimidating as staring down a T-Rexaur and hoping it doesn't decide to literally eat you? Of course he didn't remember about fever snakes or croc-dogs. Too bad he didn't remember that book of from the inn, because the variation between this world's Wendigos and theirs would be more than enough to make him uncomfortable.

Right now with so little left in his mind thanks to the moths, Nida was left gaping at Rinoa. Powder that gives you intangibility? How was that... No, he's not going to ask the question of how that science works.

"Dust that... Okay, so at least this memory thing may wear off?" he asked, arms crossed over his chest. "Not much worse than a GF then, if you can get them back. But I remember enough to know how to get good kindling. Who knows, maybe I was out here to do that, or something like that. Have you done anything like gathering dried leaves? Great starter for fires. I may have told you that before, I don't really know."

The last thing he would want is to go back not remembering something and with nothing to show for it. Surely Rinoa would let him do this much.
