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.
Good idea. You'll feel less panicked when you have a clear goal in mind.
[ Yikes, how does one explain the oddity that is the Risen to someone who has probably never seen it before? ]
The closest thing I can compare them to is a moving corpse. They suddenly appeared one day and started causing problems. It's probably due to the fall dra- [ Suddenly there is a loud creak from his end. Ricken grimaces similarly as Lynne did just moments ago. ]
Maybe talking about them right now isn't such a good idea ...
I'm really regretting not taking exercise in martial arts! It must be nice to not really need a weapon to fight.
[ The words "moving corpse" has her attention for a bit--she widens her eyes and blinks when she hears some of the background noise from Ricken's communicator. She's not particularly superstitious or anything, but it would be bad to jinx it, wouldn't it? ]
It's going to be so hard getting any rest! I can't believe there are actually people who've been able to deal with this for a couple of weeks already!
[ a sigh. ] I think I finally understand why a friend of mine was so insistent on physically training mages. Even tomes have their limits.
You know ... that's a good point! How are they adjusting so well to this kind of situation? [ He rubs his chin thoughtfully. ] Maybe we're missing out on something.
You could always get a mini-workout carrying the thick thing around but... well, I'd feel a bit bad tossing around such a nice book.
It might be experience, but eugh at the same time there's just wishful thinking "I don't want to deal with this", you know? [ But maybe... it wouldn't hurt to ask. She mentally noted she could do that next time, it could help other people having a hard time getting sleep too. ] I sure doubt counting sheep is really working for me anymore, and thinking of people I miss just makes me sad...

I didn't mean to sit on this thread this long sorry!
[ Ouch. He was hoping they could avoid going into topics about home. Since he misses his parents and comrades terribly as it is. ]
What I used to do is keep myself busy all day so I would fall asleep as soon as I was in bed. But it's harder to do that here, so it might not be all that helpful. Sorry ...
Having a house all to ourselves can be troublesome, huh? It's not like the barracks where it's always bustling with people.
It's ok Mimiru! /O/ I GOT IN so really this is just funtime tagtime now

Are you used to barracks? You must have really been involved in something important...
