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.
Yeah, in the three seconds we had before lock down, sure. [ Jim's hand gestures aren't as rude as they could be, but they're very dramatic as he sweeps an arm toward the corpse. ] I wasn't just - there's no guarantee people come back around here.
People shouldn't be coming back to begin with. People who make idiotic mistakes or strike out on their luck-- guess what? They fucking die. Magic corpse revival or not, that's just how it is. Trying to rescue someone that's beyond rescuing is just asking to be added to the body count.
[And guess who is vehemently against that? Just guess??? He's had his share of run-ins with death already, and to think of how easily that could have been them frozen out there leaves him a lot more shaken than he'd ever admit.
Lutha's teeth grit as he backs off into a corner, his amputated wrist tucked across his face in an attempt not to heave as he glares across at Jim, pointing accusingly.]
[ Jim has to gape at Lutha. He'd opened his mouth with a quick retort somewhere in the middle of all that, but it fails to actually materialize into any kind of words. Eventually his brain catches up and his mouth snaps closed into a scowl that's rather intense with the eyebrows and all. ]
You -
[ He thought he had it that time but nope, more scowling. He ends up on his feet somehow, though he doesn't remember standing, and he's making a spirited attempt to seem taller than he is. ]
It's not how it is if you can do something about it! Who cares if they made a mistake?
[It's about as condescending a retort as possible. Even from across the room, Lutha looks coldly unimpressed, eyes narrow as he meets Jim's sour glare. It might have to do with just how much taller he is than the other teen, even slouched against the wall as he is, but the change in posture and temperament hardly registers as anything more than an annoyance.]
It's not the middle of the goddamn day. We have limited time as it is. The last thing you should be doing is "caring" for someone that's already that close to death. Let them go and keep yourself alive. Basic survival. [His shoulders rise in a stiff, provoking gesture, as if daring Jim to keep explaining himself.] What's so hard to understand about that?
