Network Prompts
ONE: SPAM IS MEANT FOR A CAN You awoke today to find a private message in your inbox full of glitchy text from an unreadable username. It doesn't seem to be from @ADMIN, and it's doubtful that any of your fellow unfortunate survivalists have the ability to send a bunch of garbage text from a dummy username. Any attempts to contact the sender of the message only yield silence.
Perhaps your friends on the network will have a better idea of what's going on.
TWO: DING DONG PING PONG You found an app on an SD card that lets you play a game--the app simply refers to it as "game," but those who are familiar with Earth's gaming history will recognize it as Pong. The graphics have been updated, but the mechanics are as simple as ever. Just bounce the ball back and forth and try to hit it past your opponent. This version lets you play with a friend over the network and supports chat simultaneously, so you can video or voice chat while playing with someone!
Or you can use text, but that would probably be inconvenient while you're trying to play.
Action Prompts
THREE: BABY IT'S COLD OUTSIDE The blizzard has been raging worse than usual for nearly a week now, making travel incredibly dangerous. You and your travelling companion have been stuck in the same house since the weather went out of control, and it's starting to have an effect. While you've not yet succumb to the dangerous fugue that would lead you out into the snow, cabin fever is definitely starting to set in for you...and whoever you're stuck with.
As long as you keep telling yourself the eyes on the walls aren't real. You're the only one who can see them, after all.
FOUR: A TENT-ATIVE FRIENDSHIP Everything has locked down for the night, and it looks like you're trapped outside. This almost certainly means death, but maybe you don't have to take it lying down. You walk for a while, and--what's that? Through the snow, the light of your tablet faintly illuminates the shape of a tent. It seems someone else is stuck out here, too, but they've been luckier in their searches than you.
Time to go see if they'll take pity on you for the night. You probably don't have much longer otherwise...
Uggghhhhhhhh. Is this lamey-lame dumbass game for wigglers seriously what passes for entertainment around here? Because in my incredibly sophisticated and expert opinion, it's junk. Garbage! Trash. The only people who could eeeeeeeever derive any enjoyment from this incredible festival of failure are people who had their thinkpans forcibly removed shortly after hatching.
[ Vriska tilts her head back so she can look down her nose at the feed, huffing loudly. She looks far more buttmad than this situation warrants - sure, she tends to be overdramatic about pretty much everything, but still... ]
And also it cheats.
[ Oh. ]
Each and every single one of you tools that are up there on the so-called [fingerquotes:] 'leaderboard?' I am onto you. I am calling you out! You are getting the most public of shamings. Because there is no grubfucking way that those scores are legit! I call hacks. Hacks and bots and cheaty-cheat cheaters. This is bullshit!
[ Only she gets to cheat, you guys! GOD. ]
Action - four; [ Well. This is pretty fucking stupid.
It isn't the thought of dying that's bothering Vriska so much as everybody knowing about it. She's going to die, which sucks globes, and the stupid dumb admin is going to post a stupid dumb obituary on the stupid dumb network and everybody is going to see it. And then they'll all know that she was moronic enough to get locked out like a mouthbreathing grubfondling scrub! They're going to gloat at her so hard when she comes back. Sure, some of them will pretend to be concerned and junk, but that'll just make her look even more weak and lame and urgrrhgghhhhhhh she hates everything in the entire universe.
Everything in all of the universes.
All of them.
She's about to lie down and bury herself in the snow in a massive self-pitying tantrum when she spots the tent. Her slouched, sulky walk quickly turns into a skittery, twiggy-legged run that covers the remaining distance between the tent and herself in a matter of seconds. She's safe!
If she can get the person inside to let her in, anyway, but whatever. No problem! ]
Hey! Guy hogging the tent! Are you going to open up, or do I have to chew my way in there? Because I will do it. I will fucking do it. I haven't eaten in like a whole day and your cute little makeshift hive is looking incredibly delicious right now.
Reeeeeeeeally. That right there? Sounds like exactly the kind of thing a dirty rotten stinking douchey cheating cheaty cheat would say to cover their tracks!
[ She points at the feed. It is an exceedingly angry point. The kind of point where the pointer jabs their finger at the pointee several times in quick succession, just to make sure that they... get the point.
That wasn't a pun, puns are lame, shut the fuck up. ]
[Guess who's completely unimpressed with your pointing, weird vaguely qunari-looking little girl? This dwarf. She's raising an unimpressed eyebrow. There might even be a tiny little unimpressed hmph.]
Maybe you need to calm down and focus on something else for a while. It's just a game, you know.
[Cadash how many hours have you spent playing that game, do you really have any room to talk.]
Just a game? Oh, I see. I see what you are doing! How incredibly underhanded and sneaky of you. Trying to psych out your competition! That's adorable. You're adorable, Small Squat Earth Human. If I weren't so busy beating your dumb score, I would be cooing indulgently at you right nFUCK! FUCKING LOUSY GODDAMN STUPID EXCUSE FOR A SACK OF MUCLEBEAST SHIT!
[ It might be hard to tell, but it looks like Vriska may have just lost. Maybe. What with how the view turns into a rapidly-spiralling mess as she flings her tablet at a wall.
[holy shit. holy shit who in the fucking world is making that awful, raucous noise. it's bad enough she wandered far enough away from shelter that she has to use up the tent she was planning on saving for later, but now some asshole is screaming at her??? terezi didn't ask for this. terezi doesn't deserve this. she just wants to survive the rest of the night and not freeze to death in quiet peace. is that too much to ask for???
(yes.)
she pokes her head out of the flap and is immediately the least surprised she's ever been in her entire life. of course. of course it's vriska. she really should have known.]
Oh my god? Are you capable of asking for literally anything without sounding like an entitled wriggler?
Okay, no, Vriska can so work with this. Definitely. She just has to swallow her pride andAHAHAHAHAHAHA I CAN'T EVEN FINISH THAT FUCKING SENTENCE OH WOW ]
Hmm. Let's go with no! Now let me in, already. It's cold. Unless you want me to sit out here and freeze to death! And I'm pretty sure you don't.
Mostly because you know I will sit right here and bug the absolute fuck out of you until I die. It will be terrible and you will regret every choice you have ever made! Ever.
[it's true. it's 100%, absolutely true. we've been down this path before in canon and it's the worst fucking thing ever. vriska will die, and terezi's sense of self worth will be forcibly flushed down the toilet, and she'll make increasingly terrible life decisions up to and including hatedating gamzee makara and healing her eyes, and literally everything will be awful and everyone's lives will be ruined and hussie will have to retcon everything and extend the comic for like another two fucking years. I hate homestuck.
none of this crosses terezi's mind. it's too far off in the EXCEPTIONALLY DISTANT FUTURE for her. she stops, thinks, considers.]
[ Seriously. Please. That's where Terezi is going with this? These are actual real words that are coming from the hole full of razor blades that she calls a mouth? She actually expects Vriska to believe that she'd let her die outside all alone in the cold just for refusing to say please?
Yeah no okay that sounds pretty legit. ]
Wow. You must really be underestimating my level of maturity if you think I would refuse such an unbelievably generous offer. Only having to say please? Man! What a steal.
I just said it, so you can let me in now.
[ NOBODY SAID ANYTHING ABOUT SAYING IT DIRECTLY TO TEREZI, HAHA, LOOPHOLES ARE AWESOME. Unlike Vriska, who is complete and utter fucking trash no really what is wrong with this goddamn garbage child. ]
Um, no, it sounds like shut the fuck up. I am not a sore loser. I am not, in fact, any kind of loser! I am what is referred to in un-loser circles as a winner.
[ She glances down at the leaderboard, her fangs digging into her lip in utter disgust for this flagrant and blatant and terrible display of bullshit cheating. Wow! Wow. Wowowowowowow. THIS CAN NOT STAND. ]
One-vee-one me bro no hacks no cheating no bullshit no items fox only final destination let's fucking go.
Y'know, normally you'd have to earn a match with the champion. Are you even in the top 100? I wouldn't want to embarrass you.
[He is just going to stare at her with the most shit-eating grin in the world. Go on, beg him for a match. Get on your knees and beg him to destroy you.
Haseo has been the Pong Champion for all of five minutes and the power is already going to his head.]
You'd have to win to embarrass me, bulgelord! And boy, would I ever be the most embarrassed to lose to somebody as lame as you. Because you're lame! That's a thing. I have an inate talent for picking out the lamest of the lamers, and you just happen to be scoring the highest lamescore I have ever seen. That's two leaderboards you are topping! You must be increeeeeeeedibly proud of yourself.
[ This might be a little more effective as an ~*ICE BURN*~ if she wasn't, like. Visibly seething. She tried. ]
Well, well. Well well well well well well well WELL! Here I am complaining a8out shitty cheating hacking douche8ags, and 8oom. Look who shows up out of the 8lue! How incredi8ly shocking and unexpected. O8VIOUSLY I am not going to dignify your "sick 8urns" (lol) with a re8uttal! Except to say that I KN8W THIS IS ALL Y8UR DOING SOMEH8W YOU LOUSY ST8NKING G8DDAMN CHEATER.
you're half riight, at lea2t of cour2e iit2 MY doiing, what the fuck el2e am ii 2uppo2ed two do iin thii2 giiant fuckiing thermal hull? but all of iit2 2KIILL, not cheatiing
HALF right. Of course. Yet another gr8 8ig giant fucking meteor shower of unexpectedness is 8om8arding me right in the face at this very moment. Meaning can it, you 8ifurc8ted 8uffoon!!!!!!!! I know you and your ways. You can't even SPELL "skill!" Like, you literally can't. What with your incredi8ly de8ilit8ting excuse for a quirk and all. What a tool. ::::|
So you're wasting time calling out some random chucklefucks with elementary programming capabilities on this game you're definitely not invested in instead of actually looking for something worthwhile around here?
Ok, two things. 1) Fuck you 8uddy you don't know me you don't know my life!!!!!!!! 2) Fuck you AGAIN 8ecause wow. Is trash-talking me somehow supposed to 8e LESS useless???????? I don't see you making gr8 8ig strides in the direction of progress, 8ro! In fact, you are 8eing EXTRA useless and worthless and pathetic right now. Ouch! I almost feel sorry for you. 8ut only almost. 8ecause I am waaaaaaaay too 8usy pointing and laughing in your general direction. Sucks to 8e you! ::::)
Ohhhhhhhh, I get it. Is my typing chafing your spinal crease? Do you need me to 8er8 attack you and everything that you hold dear ver8all with my voice so you don't have too much trou8leFUCKFFSDHFSDF8CK! get all confused? I can do that. For you.
[He had been asleep. Bone-tired and half-frozen, lost and confused, baffled by Norfinbury in ways both big and small, Vorin had finally managed to drift off. Almost managed to dream, too, and perhaps it would have been a nice dream for once.....only for the strident, obnoxious din of Vriska's voice to ruin it.
Which means.
A massive, armored hand belonging to a massive, armored goat man is now shooting out of the tent flaps to scruff Vriska and drag her inside.]
[ It's tempting to say that Vriska reacts like a trapped animal, but that wouldn't be accurate. It's far more appropriate to say that she reacts like an entire sack of trapped animals, each one louder and screechier and flailier than the last. Imagine a basket of kittens, except the kittens are made of hatred and have giant hair and also they're yowling and spitting while they sink their needly little kitten claws into you.
Except Vriska doesn't have claws, so she's actually trying to sink her sharp-ass fangs into Horno McGoatfart's anywhere instead.
Also she's too foul-mouthed and uncute to be a basket of kittens and I really didn't think this through properly. ]
[He holds her easily at arm's length, teeth sliding off his armor. She's so small compared to him for all of her yowling and fighting that some of his anger vanishes, makes him doubly careful to mind his strength. But he's still irritable, pissed off at being woken up in such a fashion. After letting her flail uselessly around for a bit, Vorin cuts through the noise with a deep growl.]
You can stay. But be quiet.
[And then he drops her unceremoniously to the tent's floor like the sack of garbage that she is.]
[ This is all extremely undignified. Again behaving in a manner almost entirely unlike a basket of kittens, Vriska doesn't land on her feet when she's dropped. She lands on her bony excuse for a butt. There's not quite an audible clunk, but there almost is and I can exaggerate all I want okay you're not the boss of me.
Anyway. Vriska. She backs up, eyes flicking to every corner of the tent (this guy is big and horned and adult, and every young troll knows that means danger) before scuttling to one side and glowering silently.
The silence lasts for, oh. Eight seconds? ]
Just so we are absolutely clear about this, I so could have taken you if you'd played fair. Who yanks a lady off her feet like that with no warning? A douche is who. Rude.
