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.
[ Well, this is certainly a surprise. Miranda has done every thing in her power to avoid using her real name - including picking a spectacularly idiotic alias off-the-cuff - but it seems that she has not been careful enough. There, at the end of a thankfully short list, is the name MIRANDA LAWSON for all the network to see. It would seem this administrator has more reach than Miranda had assumed, and wouldn't hesitate to spill her secrets. What to do?
Inspiration comes from the other half of the problem: Miranda isn't dead. She retrieves her datapad and clears her throat carefully before sending a message out in response to the obituary:]
I admit I'm skeptical of these lists. Has anyone confirmed that all these people are dying, or are we simply assuming that because some are, they're all dead? I've never even seen some of these names on the network.
[ A lie: she'd seen all of them except her own. ]
Are we even sure that these are real people?

Action Prompt 3: Kyrie eleison
The chapel is the first beautiful thing Miranda has witnessed in Norfinbury. The windows bring her up short for a moment and she pauses to admire the way the harsh light from outside filters through them to create beautiful patterns. The saints mean nothing; her father had worshipped no one but himself, and she had never bothered to find a replacement. No one up above was looking out for them here.
Miranda is looking out for herself.
She searches the pews methodically, and then the alter. When they turn up not so much as a candle stick for bludgeoning, she ventures further from the sanctuary and finds herself wandering down the stairs. Her footsteps echo loudly in the silence no matter how softly she walks. She hopes no one is close enough to come investigating.
The collection of corpses at the bottom of the stairs are a surprise, but not a startling one. Miranda had spent every day for two years with a corpse and she isn't about to start fearing ghosts now.
[It gets to Hiro too. Not because there are necessarily any names on the list he himself recognizes personally. But in general. He's seen obituaries, been to funerals for his parents, his older brother back home.
And yet, with how spread out everyone is, with how most might just be using some alias over the network, it is hard to say whether the names, the list is accurate or not.]
no idea if it's accurate. don't recognize any names there myself. i take it you might if you're skeptical? that mean at least one of them is alive? if so, that throws the whole thing into doubt that any of them could still be alive. you would think something like this would be. pretty accurate, recording the dead.
[And yet. This place apparently does just. Bring people back. Somehow. Hiro still isn't quite sure what to make of that. Back home, he would probably have done nearly anything if it meant such abilities to reunite his family again. To bring his parents back. To see Tadashi again. But that's way too soon and way too personal to be sharing just yet. If. Ever.]
I recognize several of the names. They may very well be dead. [ Which was its own kind of disturbing. Miranda was trying not to think about that yet. She'd seen enough death in the last few months to last her lifetimes. ] However, I've paid very close attention to the network and several of these names have not posted publicly at all. It's possible that the admin may be exaggerating for effect.
so what, they just draw names out of a hat to scare us into thinking things are worse? that there are more of us dying than there actually is? or some might not have figured out the tablet, maybe. unless it's just a case of once someone dies, their stuff with the tablets is deleted? i don't know.
[Hiro isn't sure what to make of it. Regardless, the list still makes him uneasy. More wary of the situation. Tadashi has been worried, hovering and way more protective than he ever recalls back home and this. This has to be why.]
No, we've had confirmed deaths where data remained. It's possible some people are just too stupid to use the resources given to them. [ Miranda does not think much of these people. ]
Psychological warfare hardly seems out of the question to me.

Except... had that one just moved?
