Prompts

1. 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.


2. 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.


3. 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.


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

[No, it's a mullet, but he'll let that go.]

The planet of Gaia, the year 2010.

[hawkwhy]

[ probably for the best. kate would not have been able to let that go. ]

oh
cool
idk why i thought asking would make any of this make any more sense but hey it was worth a shot

ill try out your towel technique

[plate_builder]

[When you're the head of the WRO you can get away with a lot of things.]

Yes, I did not believe that would be very helpful. Mine is a very... divided world. We've sent people to space recently, but there are places without a lot of electricity.

We've survived so far. I think the towel will work.

did.. did my tag just disappear... -- JK. thanks dw.

[hawkwhy]

[ not on katie kate's watch!! then again, this is the same woman who thinks dressing in an all-purple catsuit is suitable for crime-fighting. ]

hey it happens
that kinda disparitys pretty prevalent in my world too

ill let you know how it goes
im sure youll be on the edge of ur seat in wait

Nah it's there

[plate_builder]

Yes, I'm absolutely certain I shall be.

[What is this? Sarcasm? How improbable.]

dw being wonky at me

[hawkwhy]

dont worry you are ttly my speed dial 1

[ honestly? she can't be for sure. the proper syntax is throwing her off in all kinds of ways. ]

Me too. I have learned to glare at it.

[plate_builder]

[Her own syntax would be a trouble if he hadn't dealt with Yuffie. That girl had a poor understanding of written English, which was understandable given she was Wutaian.]

I shall await the information wait bated breath.

glare at it, i shall!

[hawkwhy]

[ i wish i could say kate was better in person, but........ ]

k cool
pls alert the masses with the good word once its all said and done

Re: glare at it, i shall!

[plate_builder]

I will pre-create a message to share with the community as a whole to appraise them of your experimental results.

[hawkwhy]

neato
and if u got any more life hacks lmk

[plate_builder]

What do you mean 'life hack'?

[hawkwhy]

like tips
tricks
tools
techniques
other things that start with t

[plate_builder]

Well, I suppose my tip would be to be conscious of the currently limited clothing options. Keep your clean and mended. If you don't know how to repair clothes, find someone who can and learn.

[hawkwhy]

[ yikes.

not exactly the best thing an accident-prone woman like her wants to hear... ]

there goes my hope for a shopping montage

[plate_builder]

We're less shopping montage and more sewing montage.

[hawkwhy]

oof
hard pass
i have other marketable skills though??

[plate_builder]

Such as?

[hawkwhy]

im a kickass investigator and the worlds best archer ✨

[plate_builder]

The archery would be useful for hunting. If you are willing to hunt.

[hawkwhy]

i mean im not rly a fan of using my skill on animals but...
its for survival right?

[plate_builder]

Yes, it would be for that end.

[hawkwhy]

then...
yeah
dinners on me i guess

[plate_builder]

It's a marketable skill. And here that means bartering for other needs. It will serve you well.

[hawkwhy]

what is there like a community bulletin board where we all post up flyers offering our services or something

[plate_builder]

Most people put things like that here on the net and possibly in the inn.
