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.
( now that's just rude- it's true that kyoko has eaten enough food in the past to feed a starving country but to claim that she's dead all of a sudden? that didn't sit well with her. especially when it sounded like someone was accusing her of eating too many bigm*cs and getting a heart attack after. though there weren't any of those here for her. )
So.....who do I talk to about that list or whatever? Because I'm not dead you know? Starving but not dead. Unless that's a warning for something horrible to come-
Then bring it on. I can drag any of you up and down the street in a heart beat.
( actually she can't. at least not here. not now. not with this body. )
action » three
( kyoko was born into the life of a worshiper, of a person who said their daily vespers without question and bowed before their god. churches in general were once a place of comfort to kyoko, a place where the girl felt real and truly alive. the times when her father brought in people on his own were the happiest for her. now they were a solemn reminder of the sins kyoko had committed and of what her actions had brought forth. the heavy burden she carried was often buried deep within her, but seeing this church here now brought it back out.
she hadn't planned on arriving here; it had just happened. she had been walking aimlessly looking for a clue as to why she was here, and the first thing to appear was the church. it was ironic really, considering she had been the end of one faithful church with her selfless wish. yet here it was, marking the beginning of her new life here. there wasn't much that a church held for her anymore, it couldn't save her at this point.
yet she had walked in, feeling a strange and familiar pull. inside she saw the stained glass windows and how they sparkled with the sun's light. the hot-headed girl was now filled with an overwhelming sensation. her chest was heavy, her eyes dared to fill with tears. slowly she turned from the glass and towards the altar. there she saw memories that haunted her daily; her father's strong stance, giving a speech on sharing and loving thy neighbor. the vivid memory was strong enough to maintain kyoko there for a while.
it wasn't until someone else walked in that she turned around. )
Oi....you need something?
( she asked, as if the church belonged to her and only her. but it was a facade- an act to cover how weak she had felt only moments before. )
[After a long, long time of staring at first the obituary notice and then this response to it, she choose the text option. It gives her the distance she needs to remain under control and to fake composure. Otherwise her voice would tremble, her features would screw up with emotion, and she can't risk that, can't afford it, can't allow it. It was hard enough hiding her reaction to Kyouko's name from the rest of her group in the raw moments following the discovery.]
The administrators of this network are responsible for the list, but will not respond to inquiries.
Some have genuinely died, only to revive later. In your case, it could be an error.
[No, she won't just introduce herself. Either her network id is enough of a clue, or it's not. She'll go from there.]
yeah but is it like a warning or something? i'm not ready to die just yet. i have a lot of food i haven't tried yet and though there isn't much of that here, i would love to try it
( clearly the network id isn't much of a clue, but then that really isn't mami's fault. it's kyoko who doesn't pay much attention to details.
though if there were more hints she'd probably get it eventually. )
[In a strange, bitter way, that's a relief. Maybe there's a chance her advice will be taken if thought to come from a stranger. Deceptive? Yes. But she's already a weak person that's full of lies, so what's one more if it might put off a pointless return to old arguments? If just for a little while.]
You need not think of it as a threat against you, specifically. The danger in Norfinbury is of the indiscriminate sort. Such as starving to death, or succumbing to exposure once caught outside after nightfall.
well i suppose you are right.....i mean there are other people complaining about the same thing. still i feel like i should be on the lookout or something
( not only is the advice taken but it calms the roaring temper she has. she's weak and defenseless in this place, even more than sayaka ever was. without her powers she is ultimately nothing-
even if she did learn from the very best. )
it's kind of scary....dying....i mean not that i'm scared
( it's always easier to open up to a stranger than a known person. )
I understand. It's a frightening idea, even to a brave person.
[And she's not brave. She's not the best. Not even close. She sees the proof of that in the death of her parents, her broken relationships, her own demise. Her fault, her fault, always her fault for not being good enough.
....But that's not an excuse to stop trying to do the right thing.]
You should certainly be cautious, but death is pretty avoidable in my experience. The rest of us have been working on a map to note locations and food sources, and exposure is easy enough to avoid so long as you don't lose track of time.
( she wasn't very good at keeping up with the time, especially when she had no one to report to back home. but this was life or death and she would have to shape up. )
you know you're pretty smart about this place. how long have you been here?
( her teenage disposition is showing. kyoko- to an extent, cared more about being entertained than her own safety sometimes. it was shown when she carelessly picked a fight with the new girl and when she carelessly died alongside said girl.
still she was worried. )
couldn't they at least have given us decent food? i'm starving like crazy
I'm part of a larger group. They keep things lively enough, I suppose.
[Which didn't answer either question.]
Anything that isn't canned, dry goods, or dehydrated military-style rations would spoil too easily. But should we cross paths, you're welcome to what I have.
where the two once were as close as the sky and cloud, only to become as distant as the sun and the moon. who knew they were to cross paths in such a place? both living beyond the grave. )
She studies the face that looks out at her from the other side of the tablet, knowing that her own features will betray her if revealed. This is not what she wanted, but she supposes it was inevitable.]
Your price has been paid. Now please answer my question.
( kyoko wasn't the type of girl to be concerned about the needs of others, at least not anymore. it was rare when she actually cared about something, and honestly, anyone outside of sayaka fell from that circle of kindness.
but mami-
the both had something awful and terrible in common. they began together and they had ended together. at least they had each other here. maybe for once kyoko could learn to push aside her ego and temper. )
Forget that, we need to talk. There's something you should know.
If it's that my contemptible actions have cost others dearly, I'm also aware of that.
[She believes that she caused Madoka and Sayaka (and likely Homura as well) to die alongside her in Charlotte's lair. Because of her weakness....because of her pride....because of her desire to not be alone. She had brought them into danger and failed to protect them from it. Just like she had failed Kyouko all that time ago.
No one needs to rub her nose in that particular mess. She does the job well enough all by herself.]
( with a deep breath that filled her chest up, kyoko found herself debating whether she should tell mami or not. what good would it bring to have the other know that she was dead? or that sayaka was dead? kyoko wasn't sure on the details of what happened to mami [as kyubey was the one to tell her everything] but surely this would only bring her more sorrow.
but then, kyoko needed someone to talk to about this. )
You're not the only one who is alive when she shouldn't be.
[She hadn't told anyone that she was dead in her world, but nor was she committed to keeping that a secret at all costs. It didn't seem to matter very much, compared with everything else weighing on her mind. But such details about Kyouko, or someone else.....]

she wanted some emotion from her. even if she wasn't willing to give it up herself. )
