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.

Oh, she almost feels like an animal now, unable to grab firmly any item, she can still turn her ears around separately and focus on more than a single sound source at time- which is- unpleasant in such a building. She rasped more than once against the wall with her hooves, she tried to sniff the wooden floor to locate... anything but in the end the unicorn just curled in a corner, trying to let the night pass."Mmmh?"
Both her ears suddenly turn in Red's direction when she starts to hum and after a moment even her head turns: it can't really distract her from the cries of the dead, it doesn't seem to offer any real comfort to whoever is haunting the house but it's something and perhaps if Twilight manages to focus enough on that she will be able to calm down and study the situation a bit better, maybe even find some clues.
"Please, don't stop."
no subject
She does have her tablet in hand, ready to type out whatever she needs to say, but she will wait on that for a moment and see if Twilight speaks up first.
no subject
"Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt you." She raises a hoof in front of her "But your song-" She stopped herself in time before making a comment on how beautiful her voice- or whatever was left- was "It's helping me a lot. I doubt we will get any sleep tonight." She's interrupted by a woman, not too far from them, screaming and calling her child "But it helps me concentrate. Whatever happened in this building... there must be a clue somewhere."
And, even if Twilight has her fair share of problems doing so, she grabs her tablet with her mouth, leaves it on the foor and gently pushes the device with her nose in Red's direction. The screen is covered in scratches and bite marks but it's still working.
no subject
But Red won't be rude and refuse the tablet. Instead, she picks it up and types a message to Twilight, before setting it down for Twilight to read.
Did you want to go looking for clues?
Red won't discourage curiosity, even if it means she has to help. Maybe they can bring peace to whoever is crying within the building.
no subject
"Well, since we're not sleeping maybe we could try to figure out who lived here. Or what happened, if there's anything left. Sadly the few notebooks I found before lockdown were all soggy and covered in mold, meaning we'll have to look somewhere else if we want to find... something"
Twilight doesn't know what to expect or if there's anything left for them to discover but- anything is better than sitting in a corner and just listening to their cries. Right? Not even a book would manage to distract her, now.
no subject
Red points upwards, to the ceiling above them. Maybe they should look upstairs? Red had only briefly checked all of the rooms to make sure there were no anomalies present, and the upstairs rooms were bound to have less traffic through them, what with how unsturdy the staircase seemed to be. Maybe something up there survived without getting wet and moldy.
