Network Prompts
ONE: DRUG PUSHING What luck! You've found a bottle of medication...only, oh, it looks like it's a prescription for one of the other people trapped here with you. You have a lot of power in your hands now: you could do the right thing and give it back without a fight, demand a worthy trade to see how badly they want it, or auction it off to the highest bidder. They're not the only ones who could use a painkiller or an antidepressant, after all. If you don't need it for yourself, you're sure to be able to fetch a high price (or bank some high gratitude points) for it from someone.
TWO: CHECK YOUR RECEIPTS After a long day of traveling, you reach into your bag to scrounge up some dinner but you find that all of your food has gone bad. Everything, including the rations you stocked up on just yesterday, is covered in a thick layer of mold. Even the packaged nonperishables are somehow spoiled. Your whole backpack reeks of rot, and nothing edible has been spared. Maybe you can restock tomorrow, but what if you're not the only one whose food has been tainted? And what about the meal you had for lunch just hours ago? Your stomach turns. You'd better take to the network to get to the bottom of this
Action Prompts
THREE: WRITING ON THE WALL You've just settled into a building for the night with your traveling companion when you notice a message left somewhere on one of the walls. It's signed by a username you don't recall ever seeing before. It tells you discoveries and facts about the town you don't think are really real or should be followed. Tells you that they're heading in a direction they're convinced has the exit, and urge you to follow their lead. One of you thinks it's worth consideration. After all, why would anyone leave a message like this if they didn't mean it? But there are risks involved in chasing the assertions. Do you have the resources left to try?
FOUR: CORPSE PARTY Just before lockdown, you and your traveling companion are about to seek shelter in the nearest building when you spot a huddled figure nearly buried in the snow. When you get a little closer, you see that it's a person wrapped tightly in a blanket. Neither of you recognizes them, but you can't be sure; the blanket covers their face. They seem to have succumbed to the elements, but it looks like they're still breathing! You manage to drag them into the building with you with seconds to spare. Good job, you've saved somebody's life! But, as you pull apart the blankets to check on your new companion, you realize that they're not a "somebody" at all... And you're locked in with it until morning.
Stay there! [He snaps back at her in a low whisper.] It'll be all right. No one's gonna hurt you.
[He gets close to the body, leaning over it, but it doesn't move. He kicks it one, hard, and then again for good measure. The lump doesn't move. Peter tries to pry the blanket off of the body, but the ice has frozen the cloth to the form.]
It's all right. It's dead. Can't get anything off it, though. It's frozen stiff. We'll have to warm it up to get the blanket.
[The bark paralyzes Emily in place obediently. She's not much for listening to asshole adults, but Peter is a seemingly level-headed fellow child, and she trusts him for what it's worth. His word means a lot.
Her heart is in her throat as he checks the body. She's sure it's going to rise up and take a chunk out of his face. Cough on him. Bleed on him.] We--we might can find a blanket in a house. We don't have to get a frozen one. [But she takes a cautious step toward Peter.]
[It won't be easy, but if they drag, Peter is sure they can get the body inside to thaw. He totally intends on looting the corpse for good trade bits. They need them.]
Okay. [Shuffling through the snow to the left, Emily makes certain her mittens from Royce are on snug before she thinks about touching the body. Peter isn't wrong--it's frozen stiff, and that's weird to think about as she struggles to pick up the arm and blanket on the left side of the body.] It's heavy.
[Unfortunately, Emily keeps having to pause for a moment or two every so often amid the dragging because she's not that strong. One would think being frozen means gliding over the snow, but the snow isn't solid and slick yet, and the weight is a hassle.] Can we--bury them?
Or--put them--outside--again? [She really doesn't want to stay in a house with a dead body, Peter!!]
[Dragging the corpse inside is slow-going, but Peter is strong. He takes his time and does most of the heavy work in getting the body close to the building, inch by gradual inch. He stops when Emily asks her question so he can look her way.]
What for? He's already dead, kid. What're you gonna dig a hole with?
[He goes back to their dragging efforts after a moment.]
We can worry about outside after we get him inside first. You don't have to look at him.
[LOOK, PETER. She doesn't want this dead thing in the house with them because that's weird and gross! So, gently, she makes a face at Peter as they drag the body the rest of the way to the building.
Going up the steps is harder than dragging it through the snow, and Emily strains even when Peter takes most of the weight.
[He has no concern about dragging the dead thing inside with them. What does a killer of demons have to fear from a corpse? Aside from the actual problem of getting it inside, of course. The two of them are smaller than the body and even with both of them, it's hard to manage. But Peter is above all other things a determined jerk. They finally do get the body inside. Unfortunately, it seems like it'll grow dark before they can loot it and get it outside again.]
See? Told ya we could do it. I'll see if we can start a fire.
[The moment they get inside, Emily drops the body rather rudely and steps back, unsure of what to do with her hands even if they had been covered by mittens. THEY'RE TAINTED. She held a dead body! She dragged it!
She has dead body cooties on her now.] What happens if we can't make a fire?
I think it's important to know what we are going to do if we can't make a fire to keep warm! [GOD, PETER. They are going to freaking freeze to death if he can't figure out how to start a fire. FREEZE.
Then they will be dead with the dead guy.] I don't see anything. [She doesn't look very hard, but she does look--anything to get away from the icicle body.] Do you have anything that can break a chair?

You still shaking? Let's drag it inside. Maybe it'll have something good.

Don't be scared. Told ya: it's already dead.

What are we going to do with the person after?

[Peter is grunting against the body's weight too, trying to take as much as he can to help pull their find toward the nearest building.]
Huh? I dunno. Just leave him, I guess. Not like we can really do anything.
