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?

[Stephen can't sleep, either. He knows that he's the adult in this situation and that he probably has some kind of pseudo-paternal responsibility to say something comforting at this point. What's he supposed to do, though, lie to the kid? If there's a third person in the house menacing them with dolls (...what is his life), that's something they're going to have to deal with together.
He keeps his voice low, nearly a whsiper.]
We need to clear this place room by room or it's not going to be safe for us to sleep. Think you can help me with that?
no subject
More like think you can help me with that? [He's whispering too, but it's more of a stage one than anything else. From his hoodie front pocket, he produces a pair of scissors, held in his hand just like he would a shiv.
This kid, Stephen, is not really wishing for a parental figure. Standing up, Max rolls his shoulders. He's tiny, but the look in his eyes is incredibly fierce.]
I'll take the lead if you want.
no subject
...Right.
[He quietly climbs to his own feet, reaching down to pick up the broom he's been carrying around lately. He considers the merits of taking the lead himself, then the merits of not having a child with a weapon at his back.]
Yeah. Yeah, you do that.
[Stephen's still counting on having to do the real work himself, but at least he'll be able to keep an eye on the kid.]
no subject
[Whatever, scaredy dude. With a plan and something to do, the fear actually leaves Max - he'll find an explanation.
For a 10 year old, he is incredible blase about the world. He just watches too much TV.
He starts moving, holding his head up high as he looks ahead. He still only gets to the guy's upper thigh.]
Hey, you got a flashlight or something? I can't see dicks out there.
no subject
If you could see dicks right now I'd have some questions for you. Use your tablet screen.
