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.

Nothin' here. But if it were counting up to somethin', it might've happened where the clock is.
[ Similar to how Jack is in a single physical location broadcasting to many different places, he bargains wherever the physical timer is, that's where they'll find there.... "something". ]
no subject
[The camera goes wonky for a moment as he flips the tablet around to look under it.]
I thought it was on the tablet. Did it move?
no subject
[ Now Jack is honestly and truly confused. ]
Is there not... [ He waves his hands around, gesturing to the whole of the world and everything in it. ] ...an actual clock somewhere?
[ He's from 1740, he doesn't know how electronics work. ]
no subject
[He scratches his beard. This is gonna take some serious detective work...] If something happened when the clock got up to 100, I bet it happened at the clock tower.
no subject
[ That, at the very least, makes sense to him. If there was a clock counting up, and no physical evidence that anything happened here or there, it had to be where the clock was. ]
But, if something be happenin' at the clock tower.... why show us?
[ Whoever is doing this... are they trying to get them to gather in one place? For what reason? ]
btw if you're apping & need more samples lmk! i'm down to boomerang!!
[He opens up the map to doublecheck, but there's nothing that immediately stands out as a clock tower. He'll have to ask Nat and House about this later...]
So I guess the tablet thing maybe wants us to know that something's happening that we can't get to yet.
that would be great, actually! thank you!
Perhaps we're close, eh? [ He taps the map with a single finger. ] Close enough to send out some sorta beacon.
[ Like a lighthouse! ]
YEAH LET'S BOOGIE
[He squints at the map on his screen. This is all very confusing...]
What d'you mean by "beacon"?
no subject
[ Listen, they didn't have those in the 1740s, either. He's much more used to the butcher-baker-candlestick maker set up. Either way, ] I don't see anything but a lotta snow, mate. [ He grins, showing off several of his gold teeth. ]
It... [ He waves his hands around in the air, as though that would help make his point. ] Y'know how you can't see the light from a lighthouse till you get too close? Maybe we've not been close to the clocktower to see it count up before.
no subject
no subject
He doesn't know what walkie-talkies are. And while he doesn't understand the concept of a signal in regards to like, wifi, he does understand it in regards to signal fires.
Finally he feels like they're on the same page, and it's comes with a generous helping of relief. ]
Aye! [ He gives a nod. ] Exactly like that!
no subject
Yeah, man! I think we're onto something here. Except, okay, so how come we were never in range before? 'Cause if you're up north and I'm down south, that's a pretty wide spread, y'know?
no subject
But that doesn't mean Jack is useless. ] Maybe we weren't in the right places before. [ He takes his compass off his belt and flips it open. He moves it this way and that way, pausing when he gets a reading. ] If you be here... [ He taps on the map. ] And I be here... [ He taps again.
He's literally trying to triangulate where this clocktower might be. ]
no subject
Or, wait.]
Do we need more people?
no subject
Except, whenever Jack turns his attention to the clocktower, his compass spins around in circles. Exactly the way it did when he was in Davy Jones's Locker. Exactly the way it does whenever Jack's thoughts turn to leaving this place and going back home. Which makes sense, if Jack thinks of Norfinbury as some sort of limbo. But the clocktower.....? ]
Aye. [ He says, slowly (uncertain) but definitive. ] Perhaps people who aren't close to us, eh?
