Network Prompts
ONE: TURN AROUND
It's after lockdown, but not early enough to go to sleep. You've got everything sorted out, and now you're bored. Time to video chat on the network! Everything's fine from where you are... But unfortunately, there's something behind you. Something humanoid and creeping closer inch by inch, trying to sneak up on you without you noticing. Maybe the person you're talking to will let you know about that. The only problem? If you do turn around to look, you won't be able to see it. If your tablet friend can convince you to move to a different room and close the door, everything will be fine. If they can't, well, they'll be watching you get dragged off into the darkness before too long.
TWO: CAUGHT ON FILM
Normally, this doesn't happen. In fact, normally it never happens. However, something has gone a bit wrong today, and the tablets are turning on and off by themselves. This makes for some pretty disjointed conversations, with people popping in and out at the worst times. And, of course, someone might see you doing something you'd prefer they didn't see.
NOTE: Please don't post anything sexual in regards to this prompt. While in-game the network doesn't allow for accidental posts, we thought you guys could have fun with it here!
Action Prompts
THREE: HORROR HOSPITAL
After a long trek through the ice tunnels, you've finally reached the hospital! You've just stepped inside to see what there is to see... And the door locks behind you. Looks like it's curfew, and guess where you're spending the night? The atmosphere is oppressive and the tablets don't work quite right, but this is probably better than being outside. Maybe you'll have some company with you? And there are probably beds somewhere.
FOUR: OKAY GUYS QUICK POLL
You've run into some good luck--you've just found a blanket! It's soft and warm and if you fold it right, you're sure it will fit into your backpack. You're sure, but you can't tell, because it's already stuffed full of things. You're going to have to pick and choose what should stay and what should go... But hey, there are other people around! Maybe they can help you sort out your supplies! Maybe you can give them some of the stuff you can't carry! Maybe you can steal their backpack so you can carry more! The options are endless!

@ZD; video
[The feed would show some loser with a bright red jacket grinning as he managed to get the camera on.]
Booyah! Got it to work in one try! [He seemed very proud that he was getting the hang of this smaller computer. Propping It against a wall before he stood back.]
Man, I can’t sleep. Feels like something bad is going to happen, you know? [Zell is shifting from foot to foot as he spoke.] Going to not think about it. I could jinx myself.[He lowered his head a moment, before punching the air. He has to keep himself in good spirits!]
I saw someone doing squats on the network for exercise and thought to show what I do. [Turning sideways to give everyone the view of his profile. Bouncing on his feet as he raised his fists into a guard position.] It’s better when you have a bag or something to punch, but here I go! [Zell punches an invisible opponent in quick session, moving out of the video frame as he moves. There seems to be a shadow or something moving beyond the open door, but Zell moves back in the frame, and subsequently blocking the view to the door. It’s probably nothing, honestly!]
Whoops, went a little far. [Scratching the back of his head.] I can do it again if anyone wants!
[With his abundance of energy, he can do it almost all night. Dropping down to a crouch before his tablet as he picked it up.] Let me know. [There was movement again from behind him as Zell ends the feed.]
Four
[One energetic blond was sitting at the front of the convenience store with all of his things out of his back. Rolled up beside him was the best-looking blanket ever! Other things include a bottle of whiskey, rags, a pot, matches, and toilet paper. Scratching the back of his head as he looked between the stuff and his bag, which still held rations. Does someone want to help him play Tetris with his bag or help lighten his load?]
one, some appropriate network handle, video;
What are you doing, Zell?
[Someone sounds like he's either got a cold...or couldn't resist, chugged down a bottle of whiskey that he somehow had managed to scrounge up, and now has a hangover and his mouth tastes like hope died inside of it. Or both?]
video;
Whoa! You sound like hell, man. [Zell's voice probably isn't helping the cold hangover combination.]
What does it look like I'm doing? [Hopping back up on his feet as he started to shadow box again. Partially to show Irvine, regardless if the other could actually see him, and partially to shake off his restlessness.] Where are you anyways?
no subject
Near the school- [Pained noise!] Found a place to stay for the night. [And after his second try the tablet is grabbed.] I was lookin' for those tunnels I- [Fuck. Thinking. Fuck.] -heard about.
[And he's going to drag the tablet up and there's three things that could be noted.
1. Yes, Irvine Kinneas does look like shit right now.
2. The tablet is upside down.
3. He's squinting for a second and then, as this is prompt one-]
Zell, behind you!
[And then seems to immediately regret using the Loud Voice because ow.]
no subject
Man, it sounded like Irvine had a very late date with a Marlboro.
If he weren’t holding the tablet, he would have clapped in hands to congratulate the sharpshooter for finally picking it up.]
You look like hell, too. [Yup, that’s all he can offer as he tried to brain where he was in relation to his friend. He should have a map in his bag-
His thoughts were interrupted as Irvine yelled. Zell dropped the tablet as he leapt up to his feet. Hands were ready as he turned to see what was behind him…]
WHAT?! [Sorry, bro, but he can’t see the humanoid shadow that is lurking by the doorway. It took a moment before the other dropped down looking pretty deflated.]
Ha ha. Very funny, Irvine. [He thinks it’s a joke.]
no subject
But it's not.
He basically had a date with a Marlboro and felt like shit. Instead, he squinted and wished, oh he wished, he had an Esuna and five Cure spells to pound down like shotglasses at bars he couldn't get into even if he flaunted his SeeD status. (Look, it's Galbadia.)] Tilt your device that way. [Shadow-wards.]
no subject
He'll comply and tilt his tablet.
The shadow was moving closer.] Irvine? What is it?
[Giving a quick glance over his shoulder to see what if anything was back there. Zell couldn't see it.] You're really freaking me out.
no subject
There's a shadow...thing movin- [Ngh.] just get in a new room.
[Clearly he's just seeing things but it's still driving him nuts.]
no subject
You sure it isn't my shadow? [It sounds weak even to Zell. The lights wouldn't cast a big shadow behind him. Bouncing from foot to foot and still feeling very creeped out.] Frickin' hell... Alright. [Snatching up his bag as he headed for the hall.]
What's wrong with you anyways? Should I head over there tomorrow?
one; @newangle; voice
Do it as many times as you want. Just....in another room?
[Trying not to scare the newbie, right? Or have him just laugh and scoff at the scared kid that is obviously pulling his leg at there being something behind him.]
@zd; perma-video
[It sucks that he can't see his new buddy lurking behind him. Looking around carefully now to see if there was something wrong.]
@newangle; voice
[Because they can kill you rather easily. And those that had some sort of magic or power don't have access to such while here in Norfinbury.]
no subject
[Good job, Hiro. He is freaked out. Turning around to check behind him only to find...
nada. He squinted at whatever shadows he could see in the room but it wasn't moving.
Maybe the kid, at least he sounded like a kid, was scared of shadows? Or this was some sort of lame prank.]
Might have scared it away. [He turns back around and aims his tablet behind him.]
Do you still see it?
no subject
[Doubtful.]
Not sure. Probably still safer to try another room though.
no subject
[Hauling his bag onto his back as he starts to head out of the room. The shadow thing seems to still follow after him, albeit rather slowly.
Zell doesn't shut the door as he finds a new room.] Think this is good?
no subject
[Because Hiro notes the shadow following along.]
Zell then. I'm Hiro.
Four
[Zell might feel her watching him before she decides on her own to stop creepin, though.]
It's cool. Sorry, it's been a long weekend.
He doesn’t notice he has an observer at first as he mumbles to himself about if he should even keep the bottle of alcohol. On one hand, it’s useful for starting a fire. On the other hand, he isn’t old enough to be carrying it!]
Maaaaan. [He leans back.] This is hard. [That’s when he notices someone else in the store.] Whoa! [She reminds him a little bit of a moomba.] Yo! How long have you been in here?
Four!
...But, of course. Of course, when she's leaving there's someone right point blank in the middle of the store front. Well then. ...Maybe if she's just. Very quiet about this. She can just scoot around him. Just going to... casually make a round about him from behind.... ]
hey there you sexy thing
He could just wrap something in the blanket to see if that could help. He could also see if he could find plastic of some kind to wrap the blanket with and attach it to the outside of his bag.
Just going to lean backwards under the assumption no one was sneaking around his ass. Whoops. That certainly felt like something soft and warm behind him. He wasn't sure what made contact against him, but it was enough to startle the crap out of him.]
WHOA!!! The hell? [Leaping forward onto his feet as he spun around to see what was behind him.
Oh. It's a girl.] Sorry about that. I didn't know you were back there.
hey bb hey wanna come back to my place~~~? so I can touch you with my death grip~~?
Thankfully, he goes no further than that. She still has her space... and she's going to keep it that way if she can help it. Her heart's still racing, hammering in her throat, as she starts hastily: ] No, I'm sorry! I was just trying to get by! I didn't mean to scare you!
It'll totally be worth it <3 <3 <3
It’s ok. You’re fine. I should have made sure it was clear. [He will never learn to do that. Sorry.] I’m Zell. [Once he’s sure the thing won’t fucking fall over, he will offer her his hand to shake.]
HAHAHAHA. IT'LL BE A NIGHT YOU'LL NEVER FORGET... AND MAYBE YOUR LAST.
This is Elle freezing on the spot when the young man decides the best thing to do right then and there is to steady the rack behind her as he does. Really, she should have taken care of that, but it had been the last thing on her mind. She can only be thankful how fortunate she was that he hadn't gotten any closer to her than that.
It certainly doesn't stop her from taking a few sidesteps though once he seems satisfied and steps back, himself. She might have moved away more, but then he's introducing himself and sticks out his hand and she just freezes again as once more, he gets too close for comfort. But he's... not forcing her into a handshake like the last person. It's...
She doesn't reach out her hand, no. But she does do some sort of thing between an awkward half bow and a curtsy or something. ] I'm Elraine. It's- ..nice to meet you. [ She attempts to sound convincing through the nerves running rampant in her soft timbre, trying for a smile. ]
no subject
And then he'll silently sigh as his shoulders slump and he shakes his head. OH WELL! He tried. Some day someone will shake his hand.
The bow-curtsy-something hybrid does make things a little interesting though. Umm... should he do it back? Was that a thing where she came from?
Zell tries to give an awkward bow-curtsy-something back to her.] It's nice to meet you, too.
[That was good, right? Mentally patting himself on the back as he folded his hands back behind his head.] Do you have a lot of supplies? [That's not a suspicious question at all.]
no subject
She's admittedly a little... weirded out when he acts the way he does. Shouldn't he be afraid of her? Seriously, who else wouldn't be? But yet again, there's another person right there and not even batting an eye at her wardrobe.
...Even going as far as to shake off her uneasy welcome and... mimicking her greeting? She... purses her lips in thought at that. If even.. taking another cautious step back when he raises his arms, but her tension fades out a little when she realizes that he's just resting them behind his head. Okay... She's okay.
Slowly, her hands are dropping. Very gradually. To pause halfway down as she blinks in surprise. ] ...I think I'll be okay for a little. Why do you ask? [ An honest question. Though she's a little curious considering.. ]
