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?

iv; here have this elf
The approach doesn't get much of a reaction from the armor-clad Elezen, his eyes cast out the window, keeping an eye out for anything he can. Even if the frost and ice on the window, and the snow obscures most of what he could see.
When she speaks, however, he turns to face her, his helmet still obscuring most of his features.]
This place is strange, to state as much is scant different than alerting a man to the coldness of ice. I have detected little disturbance since lockdown.
[His tone is flat, and he turns away from her once more.]
You will drive yourself mad worrying over naught.
no subject
There is a great difference between worrying and being prepared. Whether or not you have detected a disturbance, I am fairly confident that I heard something strange, and it would be safer not to discount it altogether.
no subject
...And where, pray tell, did you hear this queer sound, my lady?
[He should have expected as much from a maiden, truly. They were always so easily spooked.]
no subject
[She doesn't appear swayed by his annoyance, but her edge of frustration in her voice stays.]
I merely thought it would be courteous to provide you with a warning in case danger appears. I am sorry if you find that such a burden.
no subject
[And without further ado, he heads past her without much more of a word. He's not the social type, to say the least. However, once in the room, he looks over the dolls and beyond them being creepy and a bit unsettling, he doesn't seem to see much wrong with them.
He should have known, and perhaps he did, but this was the waste of time he imagined it'd be.]
Fear of dolls, I wa—
[He starts to say as he walks out of the room, but suddenly he hears something behind him, and he stops in his tracks, turning around just as quickly. Eyes scanning over the room—but it's merely dolls. All sitting there with their wide eyes and bright smiles. Unmoving.
Alright, maybe the maiden wasn't just scared of nothing.]
no subject
[She begins, but stops as she sees him turn to look back into the room. She doesn't say 'I told you so', but there's traces of that exact sentiment in her expression as she looks towards him.]
What did you see?
