Network Prompts
ONE: A LONG WALK HOME
You wake up at 6AM when lockdown ends, cold and tired, like you've been walking miles in the snow. But that's normal, isn't it? What isn't normal is your surroundings. You're in a new building, maybe one you've never seen before, or one you know is far, far away from where you were the night before when you fell asleep. If you were traveling with someone, you notice, also, that you are alone. There's no telling where your traveling companion could be.
When you check the network, you notice that @ADMIN has left a message.
Surveillance encountered an error shortly after 8PM last night and was out of order until shortly after 6AM. We apologize for any inconvenience.
Whether or not you're confused or concerned about the message, maybe a post to the network will help you re-orient yourself.
TWO: GOING ONCE, GOING TWICE...
Seems you've found a rather valuable commodity. Something like alcohol, tea, coffee, cigarettes, or perhaps even something medical. Whatever you've found, you have no real interest in it, yourself. But you know that there's a market for it, and you see the opportunity to turn this into a win-win situation. You're not physically around anyone that you know of, so you propose a network-wide trade. And whoever makes the sweetest deal can be the proud owner of their craved luxury.
Action Prompts
THREE: A SYMPHONY OF SOUND
You and your traveling companion thought that the house you decided to stop in for the night seemed normal enough. But lockdown hits, as it does every night, and things start to get strange. Soft sounds of crying; children crying, parents crying, screaming for their own safety. Maybe it's just the sound of the wind rushing so hard through the rubble you fear the ceiling will collapse. Maybe it's your own voice whispering to you to do awful things. Whatever the noise is, it's too much for you to fall asleep, coming to eerie crescendos and ebbing in volume at entirely irregular intervals. Looks like you and whoever you're with are in for a long night.
FOUR: IN DUE TIME
After a grueling day of travel, you and your companion finally come across safe shelter. And it seems to be a nice house, too, with a working fireplace and everything. The only strange part is that you aren't alone--but the other people in the house don't seem to be aware of you. In fact, they don't seem to be aware of anything; they're frozen in time, unmoving, unblinking, not even breathing. They can be touched, but they can't be moved. No matter how hard you try, they're rooted to the spot. They seem to be like you, weighed down with heavy winter wear and backpacks, not like the nondescript shadowy people that wander the town.
Oh well. They're probably harmless, and it isn't like you have time to find a different place to stay.

[OK, now Steve is a little offended. His tone stays pretty even, but it loses some of its warmth.]
OK, not pals, got it. I was just trying to be friendly. And I'm giving you this because it costs me nothing and I don't like to see people starve, or suffer for any reason, especially if there's something I can do about it.
no subject
Nobody is ever friendly to a stranger unless they want something out of them. [ Royce says idly, like it's a mantra he's said so many times he can't keep track. ] ... Clown obsession?
[ That caught his attention. He doesn't answer any of the other questions quite yet, mostly because he's trying to judge how likely it is that Steve is going to actually come and slit his throat in the night if he figures out where Royce is.
Not... likely at all, but Royce is paranoid. ]
no subject
Guess I'm Nobody, then, nice to meet you. Or maybe I just desperately want to be popular. [He sighs.]. If it makes you feel any better, let's just say I really want that wine.
[Steve makes a face.] House south of the school. Whoever lived there really really really really... really liked clowns. Everything is clown-themed. There's clown costume accessories. Couple of fellas set fire to thebfull-size clown statue, so I hear, thank God for that.
no subject
Ha ha. Funny. [ Royce folds his arms across his chest as he puts the tablet back down on the table. There are three kinds of people in the world, Royce figures. The Hadrians, the Royces, and the Gwens. Steve is definitely a Hadrian, and while it is comforting to know that the selfless help-for-the-sake-of-helping types are common in every universe, Royce can't help but get huffy with them.
He thinks about this, and the explanation Steve gives him. After a pause, he finally replies. ] I haven't seen that house, thank Maribor.
... There are a bunch of cages in this room. Glass ones. There are animal bones in some of them. Someone named... Alphonse wrote on the wall. I imagine that probably isn't enough to give you an idea of where I am, but it's all that I've got.
no subject
Yeah, you're right to be glad. ...Although, slices of chocolate cake have been found there on more than one occasion, so there's that.
[Steve blinks and looks slightly disturbed.]
Animal bones in glass cages. ...Huh. ...Well, can't say I've been there, unfortunately. Alphonse does have a habit of writing on the walls, so unfortunately that doesn't really narrow it down. ...You could try contacting him directly and tell him specifically what's written, he might remember the place and be able to tell you where you are. His user name is "@LELRIC" if you wanna try. ...He's a friendly Nobody like me, I'm sure you'll get along swimmingly. [Please enjoy a side of sass with your helpful assistance.]
In the meantime, not sure how else to help you. ...You said you passed a snow wall earlier? Is the wall to the north, south, east, or west? The sun's always southish, if that helps.
no subject
You don't need to help me. [ A beat. ] If you want this wine, you'll need to give me directions to a place I can meet you at. Don't worry about where I am. I can figure out how to get there from here.
[ He's not half bad at navigation, even here. ] I'd say I hope you have someone to watch your back while you drink, but I really don't care all that much. [ Ah yes, occasional unnecessary edge, Royce's specialty. ]
