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...
[Okay, okay! If he prefers fake optimism over joking she'll go with it.]
You're right.
[That jerky is also going to smell terrible. She's sucking it up and eating the chips, though, although it's clear she's not exactly relishing the experience. She's barely even chewing the things.
It's about three or four chips in that she finally gives up and grabs her water bottle. Kunsel is absolutely certain that taking water from the toilet tank is safe, but Tifa isn't enthralled with that plan, so she's been trying to drink as little as possible. At this point, though, she doesn't think she's going to get through this meal without something to wash down the grossness. At least the salt on the chips masks the flavor a little. Kind of?
So, a swig from that bottle is definitely happening. Or two.]
Remember that store with all the fresh food? Maybe we should head there once this lets up.
[They haven't even had a chance to go there yet, and man, what she wouldn't do for an apple right now.]
[Three. Four. Five. He's counting each and every chip down in his head, desperately trying to decide on what would be an appropriate and reasonable number at which to stop forcing himself to eat the putrid things -
- Only to land squarely on six, because he's relatively sure chips are not supposed to be dark green or contain fur.]
Yeah. Sounds like a good idea.
[Because there is no way he's eating any more of those chips. Reaching across to where she's placed the bag of jerky, he takes a deep breath before pulling the bag open, nose promptly scrunching up as the over powering smell of dried, expired meat reaches his nostrils. That starving to death thing is sound better all the time.]
[Oof, that smell is awful. As much as she's worried about him not eating enough, she's starting to think this is more cruel, with the added threat of food poisoning. Something about the way he wrinkles his nose makes her burst out laughing, and she reaches over to try to gently tug the bag from his hands.]
On second thought, I don't think we should eat that.
[Hey, you try getting that first whiff of putrid meat blown at you full force by the releasing of trapped air. You'd be scrunching your nose up too.
And leaving it scrunched up because even after she's taken the bag from his hands he can still smell it, as if it's taken up permanent residence within his sinuses and is going to haunt him for the rest of time.]
Maybe I have something.
[He doubts anything he has is in much better shape than her offerings, but it was worth a shot. And so he's reaching for his pack without a second though, pulling it open and searching the contents or anything even the slightest bit more edible.
Two sticks of gum. A shard of a broken mirror. A packet of noodles that look dry and flavorless. But at least they're not at they're not quite as far gone as the chips or the jerky. So he presents them to her, along with the sticks of gum. Just in case she'd like to get the taste of those chips out of her mouth.]
