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?

... [Oh.

...

...
] But, if it's not you... then...

[A mixture of confusion and disbelief is on his face. It's around that time, he's going to finally get fed up with the feeling that he's being watched. Quickly, he turns his head, and--]

Weren't those in the... other room?

[The dolls from the living room are now lined up in the hallway, each with their heads turned so they're looking in the direction of Naminé's room.]

[ She's almost afraid to look... but curiosity wins out, and she turns to look. Immediately, she feels cold dread creep up her spine. ]

I... um... I think so?

[Yeah, no, that weird feeling is just getting worse by the second. He pauses a moment, and then--

--yeah, he's just going to step all the way into the room, make sure she's all the way in, and then close the door. He's just the tiniest bit tense as he waits a bit. Sure enough... he can hear the sound of what seems like tiny feet walking along the hallway. His voice is a whisper.
] ...All right. You... remember where they all were, right?

[He gives her a determined look, a nod, and then opens the door to look outside, though she probably won't be able to see past him, since he's just barely opening it.] Okay, that proves it...

[Closing the door again, and then turning to put his back to it, he lifts a finger to his chin. In spite of the slight tension, he isn't outright afraid. Just very, very confused. And curious. And trying his very hardest to figure out how all of this is possible!] You think... they're trying to play a game, or something?

[ She nods. Oh, she definitely remembers where they originally were. Naminé tenses when she hears those feet again, and she almost reaches out to cling to Ven. But she's on edge, and she's not sure how he'd take that. ]

I... I don't know what they're trying to do. Do you... do you think they want to hurt us?

[ It feels like a dumb question; pretty much everything here seems to want to hurt them. Or worse. ]
