Network Prompts
ONE: HUNTING SEASON
You wake up in the morning to find that a new application has appeared on your tablet. It's labelled "SCAVENGER HUNT" and when you open it, you find a long list of items that, if the title is anything to go by, need to be collected. At first, the items seem rather innocuous; things like bottle caps, napkins, Scotch tape, mittens. As the list continues, though, the items become a little more interesting. Where are you going to find "one pint of type O- blood"? How does one collect a "cry for mercy"? Does the "human sacrifice" need to be human? Most importantly, what are you supposed to do with these items once you've collected them all?
Maybe you should check your list with the Network. Some folks might be willing to pool resources.
TWO: ONE, TWO, SKIP A FEW
Sometime yesterday, you noticed that a timer placed itself on the Network. Contacting the Admin about it provided no explanation, of course, and nobody's tablet buddy seems to have any answers. It started from zero and began counting upwards, seconds ticking away like lightning, but nothing was happening, so there was nothing to be done. Suddenly, however, you can't help but notice the count stutter and jump upwards to 99 hours in. And then, at 100, it stops and vanishes. As far as you can tell, nothing's changed, but it's disconcerting enough that you can't get it off your mind. Maybe someone else on the Network has some theories.
Action Prompts
THREE: WHAT WE DO WITH THE SHADOWS
You and your companion decided that, for whatever reason, this house was worth investigating. It took something unorthodox—like moving all the furniture to one place, illuminating certain segments of the room, reciting a message, or maybe something else—but by doing it, it seems you've invited another guest. It's a shadowy figure with no face and no discernible limbs, and it goes wherever you go, lingering behind you just so that you can only ever see it out of your peripheral vision. Your companion can see it well enough, though, and sometimes it follows them instead. It doesn't seem to be hostile, but can you know that for sure? Either way, lockdown has already fallen, and you're stuck with it through the night.
FOUR: WHO LET THE DOGS OUT?
You’ve just gotten comfortable for the night with your traveling companion when something odd happens. You hear an animal. A dog? A cat? A bird? Maybe the sound is coming from outside, or in the other room. Maybe you feel it brush or flutter past you without anything being there. Or maybe you even see it…just out of the corner of your eye, as it darts around a corner. You feel like maybe it’s trying to alert you to something, somehow. Or maybe you just really want to see if you can coax it out. Careful, though, get too close too quickly and you may aggravate it. As phantom as the animal may seem, the claw marks you receive for your trouble feel very real.

[She's calm about it; she'll stay calm about it until the strange shadow does anything threatening.
It's not the worst that's happened in Norfinbury, after all. It just trails behind Guybrush like a second shadow, playing hide-and-seek with his blind spots. It's actually kind of amusing.]
Looks like you made yourself a little friend...hey, smile for the camera?
[Claire brandishes her tablet at Guybrush and his two shadows, hoping to catch it on film.]
no subject
Claire manages to get a shot of a young man looking hopelessly confused.]
I can't seem to look directly at it!
Wh...What is it doing? Am I in trouble?
no subject
Don't think so? It's not doing anything, just...standing there. If it had eyes I think it'd be staring at your ass.
[Which isn't that much to look at, come on, weird second shadow. Be better.]
no subject
[He preens.]
Well, it is pretty glorious.
[If he says so himself.]
no subject
[Noncommittal as can be, she is on this.]
It's okay...
[Sorry, Guybrush, your twiggly butt doesn't compare to some she's seen before.]
no subject
[Meanwhile the shadow continues to flicker off to his side. It shifts slightly and the movement at the periphery of his vision is enough to startle him.]
YIKES!
[He scoots up against the wall.]
no subject
You're not busting much right here, stud.
[Assuming it's a ghost, obviously.]
no subject
[He snaps irritably as he tries, mostly in vain, to regain some dignity.]
no subject
Are you saying I'm fat, Guybrush?
no subject
Uh.
[He pats his shirt as if looking for something then mumbles.]
Well you try busting ghosts without root beer.
no subject
You're okay. We'll find you root beer, don't worry.
[Then, she crouches by his side, looking around his legs. The shade doesn't have much shape, doesn't move away, or closer. Just shivers here, behind him.]
It looks...almost scared.
no subject
[He folds his arms over his chest and closes his eyes.]
When I get root beer I'm coming back here and blasting it back to whatever Heckfire it came from.
no subject
[It could be a permanent thing. It could be a 'just this house' thing. Sometimes, it's hard to tell.]
And I don't think it looks scared of you. More like it's hiding from something else and using you as a meat shield.
no subject
[He opens his eyes again and tries not to notice it sitting in the shadows at the edge of his vision.]
I think it's just trying to scare us.
no subject
I'm not scared. Are you?
no subject
[He clearly is. The way he glances around the room suggests less caution than a state of constant, nervous tension.]
no subject
Guybrush, you're okay. It's not even trying to touch you. I don't think it's an anomaly.
no subject
We're gonna have nightmares now. All the time.
[He lifts his hands.]
That's much better!
