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.

[ He sighs. His iPhone was way nicer about reading out menus than this thing. ]
It's hard to tell with these things. Sometimes you can't trust that it'll read everything out, y'know?
no subject
Time typically counts down, however, unless it's a stop-watch.
no subject
Does the count to 100 hours mean anything here? Could it be like, a riddle or something?
[ Bad guys sure love riddles, don't they?? ]
no subject
Riddles are usually posed as an enigma or a conundra--metaphorical problems or puns. I don't think the counter is either. It could just be an omen: we have one-hundred hours left to live.
[Spooky.]
no subject
Well that's... morbid.
[ But not necessarily inaccurate? ]
Let's work on the assumption that we won't all die simultaneously. [ Take those anxieties and PUSH THEM DOWN. ] Maybe something else will happen after 100 hours? Like a door opening or something changing. It could be anything else.
no subject
Glitches appear to happen here frequently. The Admin may be plagued by a virus, though some believe she's human. Unlikely, not fully at least. She could be changing coding herself. The counter could just be an error.
no subject
[ Not that he's too big on technology, but he at least knows the basics. ]
I hope whatever happens actually takes 100 hours. This counter wasn't exactly accurate, as far as I heard.
no subject
Was there anything else you noticed besides the counter that someone visually capable could have missed?
no subject
[
How could I resist.Excellent detective skills, Bruce. ]Best I could tell you is that as soon as it read "100 hours" that was it. It played in the standard voice, droning the hours and seconds like it would if someone had typed them and skipped ahead to 99 because they got bored.
00:01 00:02 00:03 00:04 00:05 00:06 00:07 (etc) then 99:00 99:01 99:02 and so on
Like that. I don't remember exactly when it skipped, since after a while I stopped paying attention.
[ He broke out colons for you, Bruce. That's effort. ]
no subject
For now, we'll have to assume it was a glitch unless someone speaks up with extra information. Periodically, there has been episodes of "static" in visual form. It could be something similar.
no subject
Great. So we sit and wait and hope it doesn't kill us.
[ He sighs. Wow, this is worse than supervillains, at least they usually try to make a show of things. ]
Is that about standard here?
no subject
We're all trying to both survive and dig for answers. So far, nothing catastrophic has happened aside from a few incidents in the past and what comes with the anomalies.
no subject
[ Because anomalies at least seem like they'd be fine, but Matt can't do anything about sudden death... ]
