✭ Comment around to others on the meme, whether you're in the game already or not.
✭ Now you have a sample ready for your application!
✭ So go reserve and apply when reservations and applications are open.
✭ Seriously, do it.


Network Prompts
ONE: SEE THAT WE CAN SEE
It's late and you're settling down for the night when you notice a strange light coming from... outside? Through the heavy snowfall, you can just make out the haze of glowing eyes in the distance. Dozens of them. It's difficult to tell through the window, but they seem to be staring directly at you. Since it's after lockdown, you can't get outside to investigate, but maybe others in town are seeing the eyes too. You'd better take to the Network to see what's going on.

TWO: BEHIND THESE HAZEL EYES
You can't sleep. You've been trying, trying, trying. But every time you close your eyes, you see the eyes of the prophet etched into the insides of your eyelids. The symbol only seems to get brighter and clearer the longer you keep your eyes shut, the closer you get to drifting off. It chills you awake. Nothing seems to help. Maybe there are others on the Network who are having the same problem. Or, at least, someone who doesn't mind keeping you company through the long hours.



Action Prompts
THREE: THREE'S A CROWD
You and your traveling companion are exploring what looks to be a perfectly normal building when you notice something strange carved into the wall. Is that an eye? Strange indeed, but what's stranger is that new carvings keep appearing, always where you're not looking. Soon, the whole room is full of eye carvings. Is your companion doing this? If not them, then who?

FOUR: THE KNIFE'S EDGE
Most everyone in town still has eyes that are either glowing or shaped like the prophet's symbol, and your eyes are no different. These are the same eyes that made everyone attack each other a few nights ago. Every time you catch a glimpse of yourself, maybe in the reflection of a window or the video feed on your tablet, you feel a little sick. Unfortunately, your traveling companion's eyes look strange too, and they're the opposite of yours. Both of you are in danger if those murderous urges come back, which makes it difficult to trust each other after what you've been through. It's late at night when a dark thought crosses your mind--you do have a knife. Not that there's any reason to use it, of course... Right?

WHAT NO, I HAVE THE SITUATION COMPLETELY UNDER CONTROL.
I JUST, UH
THERE'S NO TIME LIMIT, RIGHT? EXCEPT FOR MORNING I GUESS. OR UNTIL WHATEVER THE FUCK THOSE EYES ARE BREAK IN. IF THEY BREAK IN.

[Shrug??]

I'm still figuring shit out here, what do you want from me? It'd be stupid to set up base somewhere and then have to move it because I find a better place later.

[... and there's definitely more he's not saying, but no, Jason does not get to hear that.]

[Jade do you really want to bring up knocking on alien wood with someone who fantasized about you making out with yourself.]

UGH, BUT THIS IS DIFFERENT? MOSTLY. IT'S JUST FURNITURE.

[Corvo tensed under the letter opener, but his grip remained as tight as ever. He wants to be angry, he wants this guy to be terrible so he would be certain he could get rid of any threats with no regrets.

But Royce hasn't given him any excuses. The defense was warranted. He hadn't even raised his voice, so Corvo'll take his weight off him at least.]
You let my daughter take care of you.

I MEANT TO PUT A TITLE BEFORE HI HELLO SORRY ABOUT THAT DISEMBOWLMENT

[Though Alfie has learned all about Corvo, he hasn't heard much past the fact that... well, Emily killed him. No other way of putting it. But hey, they can bond over it, right? With how casually Corvo's talking about murder, it's possible.]

There's more comfort in knowing. [Even if he doesn't look all that comforted.] I'd rather not guess if you can put a knife in someone's back. Or mine. Now it's only a question of if you would.

Look, I've stashed a few places in case of an emergency, the nearest is coming up. It's secure, got a blanket, and a few biscuits. You can stay there, it'll be getting dark soon.

[ This is not a debate. ]
quadrangle: (yeah i guess)

[personal profile] quadrangle 2016-12-31 09:42 am (UTC)(link)
[AGAIN, GETTING KIND OF PALE THERE, BRUH. But, uh...]

... I guess if you're offering.

[And if he's going to be alone. Jason had said "you," not "us," so it's probably fine, right? Just this once.]
todds: (08)

[personal profile] todds 2016-12-31 09:45 am (UTC)(link)
Well, thank God you've got some sense of self-preservation. This way, kid.

[ Probably what follows is the most boring fifteen minute walk across town to an old warehouse in history. He leads the way inside, heading for the old office. ]
devoutish: (that's just murder math)

No. Not yours. I'm not gonna kill that little girl's dad.

I'm asking you.

[Don't dodge him, man. He can tell when he's being brushed off, and that isn't going to help anyone. If Bucky has answers, he shouldn't keep them to himself. So now he has a big, blonde tag-along at his heels.]

What was the dream like?
livingsymbol: ([S] Oh baby baby it's a wild world)

[personal profile] livingsymbol 2016-12-31 03:58 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm sure you'll do just fine.

I've been wondering if they were going to come knock, but it doesn't look like it. I think for now the lights are just a warning.

All right. I'm American. Moved around a lot thanks to work and other things. You sound like you're familiar with Earth so correct me if I'm wrong. What was your last job?
livingsymbol: ([S] Everything the light touches...)

[John is treated to one of Steve's serious looks. He's never a fan of experiments, and mind control stories are getting to be all too familiar to him. When are the bad guys going to learn? He sets his jaw as he listens to John tell him about the static and things appearing and disappearing. And the part about eyes and compulsions. Yup. Sounds like mind control.]

It's all right. [He's firm, but quiet. It's a statement of conviction. Not aggressive, but without question.] You couldn't help it. Tell me what happened after that. Whatever was getting everyone to interact with these symbols is doing it for a reason. I'm still figuring things out here, so any tips you can give me might help me avoid trouble when this happens again.
bywolves: (you're going to regret that.)

[ Royce is terrible - but maybe Emily has softened him up a little. Which is why he won't attack, why he won't go further lengths to defend himself. ]

I didn't have much choice. [ Royce doesn't put the letter opener away, but he pulls it back just a bit, so it's not resting against Corvo's skin. ] I woke up, and I couldn't walk on my own. She helped me through the tunnels. Talked my ear off.

Up until now, she'd been traveling with me and two others who would throw themselves in front of an anomaly for her. [ Royce sniffs. ] She's with them.
