Network Prompts
ONE: LISTEN, DOLLFACE
It's no secret that dolls have been the talk of the town, lately. People have been finding them all over Norfinbury: some rag dolls that seem particularly relevant to the Prophet, and some that are unsettling without the apparent connection. Still, it's surprising when you found a doll that looks like another one of the residents. You turn to the network, feeling unsettled, unsure what this could mean. Maybe you aren't alone, or maybe someone has a theory? Come to think of it, you're pretty sure that someone else mentioned finding something similar.

TWO: TIPTOES.EXE IS HERE
Sometime today you find an SD card that downloaded an app to your tablet. It's titled HIDEANDSEEK and has the picture of a doll as its icon. When you open it, it seems like it's a game to play against a digital opponent: a doll. The game appears to have two stages. In the first stage, the doll hides, and you need to travel around the house (is it just you, or does the layout of this house seem to always be the house you're in when you open it?) to find the doll. In the second stage, you need to hide yourself from the doll, and listen for its movements so it can't catch you.

If it does catch you, it will be holding a knife. The screen goes red and the game crashes for the rest of the night. Somewhere on your body, a gash appears. It's nothing fatal, but maybe you should talk to someone about this on the Network.


Action Prompts
THREE: STRANGE THINGS DID HAPPEN HERE
The house that you've found seems promising in terms of useful items to take with you, so you and your traveling companion have spent all day scouring the house for items. At first, everything's fine. Neither of you find or feel anything out of the ordinary. Lockdown approaches, you go to sleep without any additional trepidation...but an odd creaking noise fills your dreams. It gets louder in your ears until you can't stand it anymore and snap awake. When you open your eyes, it's there hanging just above you, swinging in a nonexistent wind: a doll with a broken neck, a noose tied around its neck. It looks just like you.

FOUR: LOOK BEHIND YOU
Maybe you're not unsettled by dolls--and maybe neither is your companion--but one thing is for certain: this house you've been locked into for the night has an odd, oppressive feeling to it. Maybe it's just because it's full of dolls, though they all seem ordinary enough. Nothing strange happens at first, but as the night goes on...you finally notice: wasn't that porcelain baby doll on the other side of the room the last time you were in it? Didn't you turn that other one to face away from where you were sleeping?

The more the night goes on, the more obvious the movements become--sometimes, you even swear you hear the pitter patter of little feet. But nothing ever happens when you're watching. Maybe it's just your imagination. Or maybe, you realize in frustration, your traveling companion is trying to scare you. But is your paranoia worth the confrontation if it is? And will you even believe them if they swear their innocence?

[Anything that'll help keep her safe is good in his book. He gives her a small smile to reassure her before heading to the first room, peeking in.]

Hello?

Is anyone there?

[ Warily, Lillie looks around as they step inside. It's still and quiet and everything seems perfectly in place, but something sitting on the couch catches her eye.

She gasps, stepping backward as her eyes focus in on a porcelain doll, sitting daintily on the couch as if it were there from the beginning...but Lillie sat on that. She knows that wasn't there before. ]


Roxas! The couch!
passingmemories: (♣ And he has become)

[personal profile] passingmemories 2016-12-02 06:51 pm (UTC)(link)
We're not gonna hurt you!

[This feels like something good to say, though this might just make the person or thing more wary. Roxas at the moment doesn't even think that far.

He turns to Lillie when she gasps before looking over at the couch.]


A doll? Where'd that come from?

[personal profile] cosmoem 2016-12-02 09:35 pm (UTC)(link)
I--I don't know... It wasn't there earlier, I swear!

[ Her grip on Roxas' hand tightens, and she tenses up, her free hand clinging to one of her backpack straps. Nebby is sleeping; she doesn't want it to see any of this. ]

What...what do you think we should do?

[That was a good question. He's hesitant to do this, but...]

I'll move it. Find a way to lock it up somewhere until morning.

[Which means letting go of Lillie's hand.]

[ She nods, intending to stay nearby incase it attacks Roxas or anything of the sort. ]

Alright. Be careful...
passingmemories: (♦ That panic makes remorse)

[He lets go of her hand to head to the doll. It looks harmless enough...

He reaches to pick it up and stops.]


If something bad happens you gotta go hide.

[Now he grabs the doll, looking it over before searching for a place to shove it in.]
cosmoem: (:T)

Hide...?

[ Despite her knees shaking in fear and uncertainty, Lillie does not leave, standing behind Roxas and keeping him in her line of sight. She swallows hard before shaking her head. ]

I'm not leaving you! If something bad happens, I'll be here to have your back!
