Prompts

SNOW BLIND - It's snowing, a lot, and pristine landscape though it might create, it also brings plenty of problems, especially when you live in an Edwardian-style village with a serious lack of snow shovels. It's currently blizzard conditions and visibility is nil — Maybe you gave in and ducked into the nearest house for temporary shelter, and discover someone else had the same idea (or just lives there, oops). Maybe you're stubborn enough to still be out in it, struggling against the wind and snow. Or maybe you've tromped into the South Village Inn like a human popsicle, and are just hoping you don't lose any fingers before you make it to the fireplace.

JUMPED-UP - Winter's here, which means it's the perfect time for an expedition to warmer, southern climes. You've joined a group following the river all the way down to the far southern beach, for fun and for science. On this latest break in your journey, you've spotted a large, jewel-colored feather and picked it up, maybe as a specimen to bring back or just a feather for your cap. Turns out it's an archaeopteryx feather, and you're now, well... let's call it a little gravity-challenged. Not a bad benefit once you figure out how to control it.

COLD CALL - The snow has slacked off, leaving behind a winter wonderland. Sure, there's plenty to do, but after being cooped up inside for days, most people won't blame you for a morale-booster — That is, unless your way of starting a snowball fight is to pop up and throw them at unsuspecting passers-by. Making a snow man or snow angels might come with a little less retribution, but you do you.

WILDCARD - Choose your own adventure. Maybe play powers roulette.

Network

All characters are fitted with a smart watch-like device on their left wrist, which they can use to send text and video messages to other villagers.

- Text and/or video, any length
- 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

I have no idea what you're suggesting I'm going to do, and frankly, I'm a bit offended by your tone.

You should work on that. Text etiquette is important in this day and age.

I'm going to say it one more time, Blaine: DO NOT. Out of self-preservation if nothing else, since that's your main motivator in life. Because it will end really badly for you.

Look, you essentially answered my question so I guess I should thank you, but you need to just chill. Go roll around in some snow or something, there's plenty of it.

If you're up for one more, how is it that no one dies? And what are you doing for

Well let's just call it work, Dr Moore?

Most days I work at catching squirrels and rabbits. It's a far cry from what I did back home, but it's better than nothing.

I can teach you how.

You've become a hunter? My, my.

Alright. I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty, after all. Though the soap here. It's terrible. You should see my cuticles right now.

....I actually can't argue with you about that. The spring water helps. I always keep a couple of jugs of it for washing my hair.

And for the record, I'm not saying I WANT to be your welcome wagon and guide to everything village, but I'll do it.

Aw but you've obviously got all sorts of tricks to teach me. I do appreciate it, Liv, from the bottom of my heart.

Where can I meet you?

The inn. I'll be the other albino with the pained look on her face.

If my boyfriend insists on chaperoning, you'll just have to live with it.

The Inn it is. Shall I head ou

Which boyfriend is this? I've lost track, apologies.

You're a laugh riot.

He's the one with the metal robot arm that can choke you out.

Metal robot arm... that's metal in an entirely different sense. Tell him to tag along, I'd love to meet this certainly fine upstanding gentleman.
