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?

Maybe you just suck at explaining things.

theres a heaping mountain of tl;dr guides if you want their take

redheadcarrier: (Monochrome phone.)

[personal profile] redheadcarrier 2016-12-11 07:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Not really interested in more guides. They'll probably just end up being a waste of my time.

I'm Asuka. Who are you?
mrcreamsicles: (068)

[personal profile] mrcreamsicles 2016-12-11 07:26 pm (UTC)(link)
you realize that makes it your own fault for not knowing more right
bitch to the info sharers and youre not gonna get the info
simple equation
1 + 1 = chill out and take the resources instead of slapping them out of peoples hands

davesprite
redheadcarrier: (Irritation)

[personal profile] redheadcarrier 2016-12-11 07:29 pm (UTC)(link)
What more do I need to know besides it's freezing, this place is a death-trpa, and we're expected to act like trained monkeys to get where ever we're going? And what kind of name is Davesprite?
mrcreamsicles: (151)

[personal profile] mrcreamsicles 2016-12-11 07:31 pm (UTC)(link)
literally any of the backstory if you want to ask meaningful questions
or what the actual dangers are
btw its not just the cold

its a name for a sprite
duh
redheadcarrier: (brush my hair)

[personal profile] redheadcarrier 2016-12-11 07:32 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't really intend on dying here, so pass.

Sprite? Like in a video game or something?
mrcreamsicles: (015)

[personal profile] mrcreamsicles 2016-12-11 07:38 pm (UTC)(link)
neither did i and i died three days in
then got murdered brutally like a week ago
intent means dick all princess

video game yes except its the kind that effects reality directly
and sprites are technically game guides in the one i played
hold up


[He swaps to video, because it's easier. He's got the standard newbie coat on (in bright orange) plus a sun hat, in addition to the usual shades.]

'Sup?
redheadcarrier: (Eh wot)

[personal profile] redheadcarrier 2016-12-11 07:57 pm (UTC)(link)
You can't be that dead if you're talking to me.

[ Asuka's pretty sure that's bullshit. Oh, hey, video-

That's weird. Asuka boggles. On Dave's end she can probably see her, also in newbie coat (red). She narrows her eyes.

What the hell happened to you? No - what are you?
mrcreamsicles: (159)

[personal profile] mrcreamsicles 2016-12-11 08:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Well no shit I ain't dead now. This is the part where you go read up on the morgues and the nanomachines and the other weird crap.

[To the second part, he could offer a full, honest explanation...]

Someone let a crow loose in the nacho factory.

[Or he could do that. Shrug.]
redheadcarrier: (Of course I'm angry.)

[personal profile] redheadcarrier 2016-12-11 08:16 pm (UTC)(link)
I really don't want to hear about ending up in a damn morgue.

[ Nope. Nope, nope, nope. ]

Right. Crow in a nacho factory. That explains why you burn peoples' retinas just by wandering into their field of view.

Didn't you know? All that artificial color and flavoring is a health hazard, and the FDA's been covering it up for decades. I'm the living proof. I'm the sick science experiment that got loose, and now they're after me. Why do you think I'm hiding out in Alaska?

[If she's not going to take the help that's literally right there, then he has no obligation to lay off the ridiculousness.]
redheadcarrier: (Steely determination.)

[personal profile] redheadcarrier 2016-12-11 08:30 pm (UTC)(link)
The FDA...?

[ Asuka's nose wrinkles. She's not an American, so she really has no idea what that even means. ]

If you're just going to make fun of me, stop wasting my time!
mrcreamsicles: (029)

[personal profile] mrcreamsicles 2016-12-11 08:45 pm (UTC)(link)
It stands for Fucking DumbAsses.

But here's an idea: you want me to stop wasting your time, how about you stop being the stubborn horse and drink the water I'm trying to bring you to?
redheadcarrier: (I don't care!)

[personal profile] redheadcarrier 2016-12-11 09:03 pm (UTC)(link)
How about you leave me alone?
mrcreamsicles: (098)

[personal profile] mrcreamsicles 2016-12-11 09:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[That's not the option he gave, Asuka.]

[So instead he starts doing crow caws at her like a jackass.]
redheadcarrier: (playin' videogames)

[personal profile] redheadcarrier 2016-12-11 09:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Holy SHIT. Asuka just glares at her communicator and then stabs the 'disconnect' button. ]

Fuck off, bird-boy!
mrcreamsicles: (163)

[HE TRIED. Luckily for her, he'll leave her be after this.]
