Network Prompts
ONE: BUMP IN THE NIGHT It's dark out, and congratulations - you're inside! What's not inside, you might ask? Monsters. Shadowy monsters that have surrounded whatever house you've taken shelter in. They can't get in... or can they? From time to time, the doors and the walls creak as if under an unbearable pressure.
Who can sleep when it's like this? Maybe you should take to the network to find a distraction. Or maybe someone has advice for getting rid of those things.
TWO: BRING OUT YOUR DEAD We mourn the loss of those who have died in the time between the last announcement and this one:
...is that your name on that list? It might be. Maybe you should let the others know you're not actually dead. Or, you know, if you happen to spot the name of someone you know and love on there, it might be time to ask around and see if anyone knows what happened to your dearly departed...
Action Prompts
THREE: KYRIE ELEISON You've found yourself in a small chapel, complete with bolted-down pews, an altar devoid of symbols, and stained glass windows depicting various saints. It's quiet... one might even say dead quiet. Which is a really awful pun to be making, considering if you follow the stairs down to the basement you'll find a morgue.
Explore to your heart's content, but you'll be forced out at 7 PM. Hopefully you don't find any unfortunately familiar faces among the dead.
FOUR: LIGHTS OUT Against all odds, you've managed to make it to shelter for the night. You pull the door shut behind you and turn to look at your surroundings - and that's when you see it. A ... person. Is it a person? It's hard to tell, because a moment later, you're plunged into darkness.
...better hope that's another unfortunate visitor to Norfinbury you've been locked in with, and not something more threatening.
[That's the question, isn't it? Not the "what lives out there" part, that part Stiles is way, way too familiar with already, but the "how can we kill them". Now if only more people were actually trying to think of that instead of, you know, safe houses and running from the things and other unimportant stuff.]
Okay, first, they're probably the same things that have been appearing for a while now, weird twitchy shadow things, they kind of look like human but not. They move fast and if they catch up with you or get in the house you're done. 100% dead. [So you see why there might be a problem in trying to kill them while also not letting them so much as touch you...]
For the killing part? No clue, dude, nothing. Something's got to kill them, but trying stuff like fire or silver bullets isn't exactly a walk in the park when nobody has any proper supplies anywhere.
[Pretty much. Except hopefully not actual reapers because trying to kill actual reapers would suck. Also was than an actual "good to know" or was it a sarcastic "good to know" or both he can't read tone over text okay, it's just that he's maybe too used to flat delivery of lines and exasperated looks this is almost normal.]
That would depend on your definition of "anything to defend ourselves with". I mean, a plastic lighter and a 2x4 aren't totally useless, but they're not exactly a gun, either. [In other words, no, no actual weapons, but you can use whatever you find to make a weapon.]
[it's good that stiles automatically leans toward sarcasm, because that's exactly what it was.]
Stiles, I don't think a 2x4 is going to do anything against whatever's outside, and neither is a regular gun. you've done all the research you can on them?
[he's leaving out the lighter on purpose because a lighter is going to do nothing in terms of defense, as far as he's concerned. flamethrower, maybe. lighter? no. get it together.]
[GOOD he was starting to think you were an impersonator or something here, no-longer-wolfman.]
No, I've been sitting here reading a book on constellations.
Yes, I've done all the research I can, except that's not really much at all, seeing how there's no information on them available anywhere, but I've talked to the others, asked what they've seen, so at least now we know enough about who they go after, and all the ways you can't beat them. Outrun them, yeah, but not kill, at least not so far.
[Also EXCUSE U he has considered making napalm out of that lighter fluid, except he doesn't have enough of it to make it yet, he needs to find at least another one -- but then, Derek, then he'll have a jar of napalm and don't you dare scoff at his ideas ever again.]
[wait hold up there's actually important information in there. okay, there are moments when derek actually relies on stiles for details, but sometimes it takes such a frustratingly amount of time he wants to just say screw it and deal with the issue himself.]
do they target specific people?
[ya alright let's just wait 500 years for you to find more lighter fluid, stiles.]
[No, Derek, you just don't know how to ask the right questions here, also he is not a walking bestiary or anything, he's trying his best here okay.]
If they're the same shadow people, then, yeah. A while ago the tablets or something else went totally crazy and there was this noise that wouldn't go away, and the only way to make it stop was to turn on a beacon on your tablet, and afterwards those things appeared and went after the people who'd turned it on. So, congrats, that means you're not on their list. I mean, they're still go after everyone they get close to, but if there's multiple people and one has turned on the beacon, that's who they're gonna target.
And yes I checked that, before you ask, both those who haven't turned on the beacon and those who have confirmed this.

yoooo!!!
good to know. is there anything here that we can defend ourselves with?
[because he's pretty sure that he's 100% out of commission, werewolf wise. a weapon would be nice.]
yoooo you just made my day
