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.

Were the two of you close?
[ He has a feeling he knows the answer to that. The Matt from her world must've lucked out to make friends with a
hotnurse. She knows her stuff. ]Thanks. I know the signs. Used to get 'em a lot as kid-- I'd wind up in bed for a week.
[ Sucked more for his dad than him, tbh. ]
no subject
It was...complicated.
[How to even explain to this Matt her relationship with him, back home? From the way they met to his rescue of her and their subsequent understanding, everything was a mess of feelings Claire struggled to deal with every time she thought about it.]
I'm his friend, and I'll always be there to help him when he needs me. I'll be here if you need help, too.
[It was what she told Matt before. She resolved not to think about her feelings; there was no point in them, not when they would only bring her heartache and disillusions.
Whatever had happened, it was better if she only thought of Matt as a friend trying to do something right for their city.]
Knowing what you know, would you - go back? Get your sight back but lose your powers?
no subject
Thanks. Sounds like he's lucky to have you.
[ She's not a version of anyone he knows, so yeah, this other Matt is pretty lucky. Maybe the other him isn't as much of a fuck up as he is (not likely.) ]
No. [ The answer comes easily. He's gained his sight back a few times, always temporary. It's not meant to last. ] These are the cards I've been dealt with. I know I was meant to do something more. Help people.
[ There are bad days and there are good days. Ask him the same thing on a bad day, and you might have a different answer. ]
no subject
She doubts Matt thinks he's lucky to have her. Too much of a martyr to think of himself as lucky, ever.]
Ah, of course. Help people, to the detriment of your own well-being, right? [She chuckles humorlessly. There's bitterness in the sound, but also a hint of fear.
She's still eyeing the dog, but not making any more attempts to get closer just now, too engrossed in the conversation. She sits down instead of crouching, turning towards Matt some more.
It's funny that she was thinking of a martyr just now. He might not be the same, but he's the same.]
Just - don't lose yourself, okay?
no subject
That's the plan.
[ Matt for his part keeps his senses trained on the dog, but he has to admit that the conversation is pretty distracting. Multiple universes will do that. ]
It's already happened before. [ He may as well admit it, since she's being honest with him. He isn't proud of it, not by a longshot, but she should know she's dealing with post-Matt, not before. ]
I'm not letting it happen again.
no subject
Her voice is soft when she asks, what he probably already know she'll ask:] What happened?
[She doesn't say, you don't have to tell me if you don't want to. She doesn't, because she feels like she needs to know. She needs to know signs and symptoms. Help him out if it happens again, if he loses himself into his senses or his self-sacrifice again.]
no subject
He knows exactly when. ]
Kared Page died and it was my fault.
[ He's numb when he says it. He knows he's moved on, but that really started it all. ]
