Network Prompts
ONE: @XX_BLAZEIT69 You’ve just downloaded a brand new application that you found in a building to your tablet. It turns out it’s some sort of username assignment program. Using it allows you to select current active usernames and rename them into new ones that only you can change. But with great power comes great responsibility—will you use this new program to give people usernames they’d like in place of an unfortunate one they gave themselves before they realized it couldn’t be changed…or will you give them something you think is more fitting for them, flattering or otherwise?
TWO: CONTENT WARNING It’s around the time that new arrivals should be appearing on the network, but you’re noticing a bit of a bigger influx than normal. When you click on one of the posts by one of them, you’re redirected to a flood of disturbing text and images that disappears completely once you manage to exit out—as if it had never been there in the first place. Maybe you should warn the others to be careful of what they click on. Or maybe you can discuss it with those who have already made the same mistake as you did. Perhaps you can set up a code system to differentiate the fake posts from the real ones.
Action Prompts
THREE: WALKING IN CIRCLES You’ve been walking all day, tirelessly, but somehow, even though you’re sure you’ve been walking in a straight line you keep passing the same landmarks and coming back to the same house you started from. You’re not sure if it’s your imagination or if you’re actually getting turned around, but you’re determined not to stop until you’ve found a new place to sleep in. Unfortunately, the longer you try, the closer you get to lockdown. Maybe the one you’re traveling with will be able to help you get your bearings before you both freeze to death?
FOUR: TOPSY TURVY It's past lockdown, and it should be a quiet and peaceful night - as quiet and peaceful as any night can get in Norfinbury, anyway. And you've even managed to find somebody to bunker down with! But about an hour or so into the lockdown, things start to seem just a little... off. Furniture you could swear was on one side of the room suddenly appears on the other. You might hear footsteps from up above you - even if there's no second floor. Or you might hear whispers, snatches of conversation just quiet enough to be unintelligible. Is your buddy messing with you? Or is this all just in your head?
[Has it been all day? It can't have been. His legs are tired and his back hurts, but still, they've barely moved. Surely it's only been an hour or two, and it just seems like it's been longer - right?
Alfie checks the time on his tablet, glances back at the kid he'd run into not long ago... and uh-oh, she's on the ground. And crying. Shit.]
Yeah. Next house. Come on.
[He holds out a hand to her, so she can haul herself up.]
[Shelly makes a face but eventually grabs Alfie's hand and lets him pull her out of the snow. She's pretty lucky that she woke up here so prepared, all bundled in her winter clothes to brace herself against Chicago's February, but it makes moving around really annoying. She feels like a big marshmallow, especially in all this snow.]
There isn't a next house. It's just that same house again! We're going in circles. We should just give up.
[He falters. He knows she's right. But he still feels the strong need to keep moving; to find someplace new. It'll be a waste of a day if they don't, and cabin fever might set in.
Surely if they try just a little bit longer, and walk just a little bit farther, their efforts will be rewarded.]
There - there's a house up ahead. See it? Yeah. That's gonna be a new one.
[Shelly sniffs loudly and starts off for the house even though she's really sure that it isn't a new one at all. She trudges along slowly, dragging her feet through the snow.]
But it looks the same as all the other houses and they were all the same too. How is this even real?
[Shelly's heart sinks. She groans.] So what does that mean? We're in trouble no matter what we do? How are we s'posed to find another house if this house is the only one?
[Another whole hour? That's like, so long! Like a million years! She makes her distaste known by frowning and crossing her arms dramatically, but it's not like they have any other options.]
Okay.
[She's just gotta keep reminding herself that she's tough. She can totally walk for another hour, no problem.]
That's good. Mary Poppins is a movie. Disney. It's the one about the nanny that is all magical and stuff, and you sound like the chimney sweep guy with all the instruments and the chalk.
[Shelly makes a face as Alfie keeps looking at her.] What?
[Estinien had the ill fortune of being stuck with this strange man. Rather tall for a hyur, though with how he stayed hunched over it was hard to actually see that. He was dirty and obnoxious to boot, but there was little choice with it being lock down.
Having been standing off to the side, staring out the window to keep watch for anything peculiar. He is content to ignore the other man the rest of the evening. That is, until he too hears the footsteps, his eyes searching for where the source could be—but he could not determine it.]
As far as I am aware, aye, 'tis none but you and I within this abode...
[regardless, he continues to watch around them, for anything that might give away whose footsteps those belonged to. An anomaly, perhaps? He hopes not, little is he armed to deal with such a thing. And this freakish man would likely just get in the way.]
That sucks. When you get movies, don't start with Mary Poppins. It's okay but there's way better stuff, like all the superhero movies or Harry Potter. Or Saw.
[She smiles for a second, nostalgic about the stuff she misses from home.]
