✭ Comment around to others on the meme, whether you're in the game already or not.
✭ Now you have a sample ready for your application!
✭ So go reserve and apply when reservations and applications are open.
✭ Seriously, do it.
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.

Alright, alright. I have more important things to notice than the minutia of the landscape, you know that.
private;
When you're living somewhere for survival, the landscape becomes very important, Sherlock. You'll need to travel to look for evidence and solve some of the puzzles here, not to mention exploration.
private;
That's what I have you for.
private;
Look outside and tell me what you can see, then the position of the sun. It's morning, so whatever direction the light's coming from at the moment is east. You should be able to orient yourself north south from there. Ms. Romanov has a guide that describes the houses. I'm sure you've read it through for information on what to investigate.
You can find your location from that or the position of the other buildings around you.

[He's not inside any more. Most of that information is useless.]

Oh, my god. You were with people and you left? How long did you give it? Five minutes? They could've at least pointed you in a good direction or shown you where you were.
private; it's the tdm I do what I want and then I'm not implicating anyone else
That was all I could take of the boring welcome of an empty suit of armour.
private; poor Al
private;
[Was he really supposed to stay?!]
private;
private;
Either way, I left. So your brilliant plan for assisting me is useless.
private;
My brilliant plan applies wherever you are. Have you ever taken an orienteering class? Look up at the sky. You can still find what direction you're heading. Look around at the buildings, look for the ice wall. This isn't a locked room murder case.
private;
[Oops, voice now apparently. Let's pretend he meant to do that by turning on the video and angling the tablet upwards towards the sun.]
Orienteering is a waste of time, so clearly you'll be an expert at it. Which way?
private;
You're going west. Do you see any large structures or an ice wall?
private;
[Is that upset in his voice because he's worried, or annoyance that he missed something else?]
private;
Yes, I was there, thank you. Landmarks?
