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.

Oh! Well, I mean, that is to say
[ The rest of his message saves her from floundering too much. ]
Why are you talking like that?
[ Distinctly pirate-ish. If it's entirely possible to end up in this place without doing magic, is it possible that time is different here? What if this is a honest to god pirate. Or what if it's a trick. She should proceed with caution. ]
Yes, America. The, er, 'new world'?
[ What the heck is she even saying. ]
I wouldn't worry too much about antibodies. It's science. A bit difficult to explain. It's not my field, you see.
[ If she had to make a guess about the strange list (which of course she has to), she'd say a spell. Something to do with resurrection, or to grant the user powers over others, perhaps control without the Impervius curse. Oh! If only she had a book! But she can't just say that. There is still Laws in place. But as long as she doesn't outright say she's a witch... ]
Well, it can't be good. A "cry for mercy" means we'd have to hurt someone. It sounds like a spell.
no subject
why are You? [ Speaking weirdly, that is. Which, you know, fair question considering 18th Century grammar rules. ]
I be well acquainted with the "New World", as it were. there be a lot of Ground there, Mate. care to be Specific? [ Especially since the "new world" consists entirely of North America, South America and the Caribbean. ]
how am I supposed to tell the difference between the Types? all Blood is Red, aint It?
[ And then, because he's a nosy little shit: ] if Science aint your Field, What is?
[ But Jack is no stranger to the supernatural, or to magic. After fighting skeleton people and being eaten by a kraken (and so on and so forth), the idea of this all being for a spell does not faze Jack in the least. He only asks, ]
what kinda Spell?
no subject
No, I mean why are you speaking like a pirate. It's a little strange if I'm quite honest.
Then you must have been there at some point. I wish these computers had a map! This would be so much simpler. Lets see, America is in the north positioned under Canada but above Mexico. If we ever meet I'll draw you a map. There are parts of America that are not attached to the main body of land. It's an a bit quirky but it seems to work. A visual would make it more comprehensive by far. I'm sorry that I can't be more helpful than that.
[ It frustrates her that she can't be more in-depth. She could have diagrams! ]
I suppose that is the catch. Usually the blood is tested by doctors. Most people know their blood type for medical reasons, so one could go around asking until we found an O person. Of course O-blood is valuable, it's the universal donor, so they really shouldn't be giving out their blood to just anyone! What if there's an accident and someone needs a transfusion!
[ Hermione is completely unaware that this is probably way more information than Jack would ever need. She really can't help herself though.
She hesitates for a moment before typing. ]
I'm an activist. I rally for proper wages and holidays. I hope to one day be a politician.
[ Hermione suspected right. Most muggles are superstitious enough that they wouldn't out right dismiss the idea of a spell. Not with instructions this horrifying. The worst that would happen is she would be made fun of for suggesting it but it looks like this person is willing to hear her wild theory. ]
I would guess something to do with the dead. Human blood is powerful. Pain is only ever used in Dark magic. If it's not to reanimate the dead then it's definitely something to do with resurrecting someone. It would take a powerful wizard to use these materials. I don't think we should be collecting them.
[ She sure sounds like a politician. ]
i know this tag wasn't supposed to make me laugh. but it did. so thank you.
It's almost as though Jack read the very first sentence you wrote back to him. And then immediately disconnected and ended the conversation.
That's so weird, why would Jack completely knowingly and willingly end this conversation.
