Network Prompts
ONE: A FRUITFUL ENDEAVOR You arrive at the grocery store downtown in the early evening. There's still plenty of food, but of course the bread is no longer warm and most of the best selection has been taken. What's left of the produce is pretty obscure; what the heck is a lychee, or a starfruit, or a pluot? Maybe the skin of this one isn't meant to be eaten? What about the leaves? And as for the bread, what on earth is pumpernickel anyway? To say the least of what this must look like if you're not from Earth or some place similar.
Maybe someone more familiar with obscure Earth foods will have some answers for you!
TWO: YOU'RE BREAKING UP There's a bit of a malfunction on the network. Text posts seem to be fine, if received at a bit of a delay, but there's definitely some trouble with the audio and video functions. There's noticeable static interference in most of the voice and video posts, obscuring both audio and video feeds alike. Sometimes, the shape of a person can almost be seen in the static of the videos--or maybe it's the shape of a monster.
Regardless, try to be polite to those you're talking with. It isn't their fault you can't hear parts of what they're saying. (Please write out all of your character's dialogue if you're using this prompt so that we can get a better feel for their voice! Simply indicate in the narration what cannot be heard as a result of the static, or leave it up to your thread partner to decide what does not come through.)
Action Prompts
THREE: COLD HANDS, WARM HEART Either you arrived in Norfinbury bare-handed or became that way somewhere along the road, but your hands are freezing. You worry you may be prone to frostbite sometime soon, but you haven’t had any luck finding any sort of fabric that you could turn into some makeshift protection. Your travel partner is in a similar situation, as well. That’s when you stop in a building for the night and find it: one perfect pair of fluffy mittens. But there’s only one pair. Will you give them to your companion? Keep them for yourself? Hide them? Or try to make a compromise?
If all else fails, there’s always rock, paper, scissors.
FOUR: ONE LUMP OR TWO? There's been a buzz on the network lately about a box full of tea packets having been discovered. Maybe you're a tea person or maybe you aren't, but for the sake of being able to drink something warm (and something unexpired for that matter), you've dragged yourself over to a rendezvous point for one purpose and one purpose alone: a tea party. Of course, there is always the danger of monsters, particularly when you're around too many people...but maybe it's worth it for a hot drink, right?

Not looking to upset anyone! Just trying to help.
Like I said, I can meet up with Dr. House or Mr. Wright if they'd like.
Not like I need any of this.
Taking it something exciting happened before I got here, though?
no subject
so a friend of Dickcheese took it.
Doctor Greg Hotstud told Admin to heal Dickcheese when Dickcheese did not want Admin to heal him.
Then Dickcheese and his friend took the rest of Doctor Greg Hotstud's medicine.
Then Doctor Greg Hotstud told us all that Handsome Jack was living in Dickcheese's head
and Dickcheese's other friend punched Doctor Greg Hotstud repeatedly.
There was a lot of arguing about it.
no subject
Sorry. What? His Dickcheese was injured?
No. Hold on.
Dickcheese, you're talking about that username.
Someone told the Admin to heal the guy and they stole his meds and PUNCHED him?
[There is some part of the story he's missing here. It seems like a very key point because none of that makes sense otherwise.]
no subject
I already indicated that Dickcheese was injured.
Admin did not punch Dickcheese.
One man punched Doctor Greg Hotstud.
no subject
Does the Admin usually punch people?
[Because being told that they didn't punch 'Doctor Greg Hotstud' implies that the do punch other people. Regularly enough to clarify.]
no subject
Admin does not usually punch people.
I do not think Admin is able to punch people.
No one has seen Admin.
text>audio
Oh, come on. [This is growled at the tablet in his hands as the message is once more only partly coming through. At least he assumes it's only partly. Unless she's telling him to punch the Admin, as it looks like at the moment. John switched to audio.]
Testing. Testing, can you hear me? Your messages aren't coming through.
still text
rude, ecks
[Because there no place in this world for getting full messages through and it looks like Ecks just confirmed she understands John's audio.]
voice->text
I am mute and also I do not know how to do that.
