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?

can't really blame them if that's the case... at least the binding is pretty sturdy, so it'll make a good chew toy for the dog. small blessings, right?
no subject
Wait, you have a dog?
no subject
i, the brave and gallant bad book sacrifice, have a dog. a purebred mabari, at that.
no subject
Or, maybe I should be worried. How's he handling this place?
no subject
big. really big.
and super smart.
he's doing well enough, i've scraped together what i can find to keep him warm between shelters. the problem is mostly keeping his curiosity in check... he keeps bringing back all kinds of random junk.
no subject
Can you show me a picture of him?
no subject
uh.
wow. i mean. we just met. aren't you moving a little fast for some anonymous person that may or may not be like... twelve?
no subject
Also, I'm 20, not 12.
no subject
my favorites are generally meat and pastry dishes, by the way.
oh, and... no sprouts.
ever.
zero. i mean it.
20, 12, same difference. the tantrums are just thrown in different ways for different reasons, that's all.
no subject
But I feel you about sprouts. I hate vegetables.
I didn't realize I was talking to a geezer, my bad. Maybe I should have shown more respect for the ol' grandpa... grandma?
no subject
i feel so betrayed. how dare you.
right? not all veggies are awful, but cook them too much or not enough... blech.
that's sodding right! sit your butt down and listen to your betters, my wee bratling. i have hours and hours of old war stories to bore you to death with.
no subject
I disagree there, all vegetables are bad.
Let me guess, you're 5% daemon, 3% astral, and 35.6% chocobo? And through this combination is how you've miraculously survived all your war efforts.
no subject
demons are small fry. aim higher.
100% top shelf dog lord myth material. also. i have no idea what chocobo is, but i'm going to make the executive decision to be offended about it.
how? with pure martial skill, obviously. i punched an old god so hard its soul popped out.
true story.
[ She's. Uh. Leaving out a few key details BUT WHATEVER suspension of belief makes for great storytelling! ]
no subject
God punching, huh? Well, been there, done that. Except I took their power afterwards, no big deal.
[Of course he's telling the truth, but uh, leaving out the deets. He also doesn't expect her to believe him, because he's not sure if he believes her.]
no subject
at least feather pillows and poultry sounds like they'd be a good major export wherever you're from.
tried that taking powers thing, got blown up, decided not to do it again. kudos to you for the fancy new demigod status though. any neat magey-mage magic that comes with it?
no subject
It's more like, I already had my own powers, and their blessing aids in that. They also show up on occassion if I need the extra help.
Which that still applied here. Both things, really. My powers would make this place a whole lot easier.
no subject
wait is that some sort of fancy horse breed? because i'm just about the last person to appreciate that sort of thing. horses were always more of an orlesian touch.
nice! beat them up, become the new boss, bingo bango boom, business as usual. wish that worked with demons and dragons, my job would be so much easier with a few giant lizard lackeys.
you'll just have to buckle down and deal with it like the rest of us non-mages. some of the houses have hot water if you know where to look though.
no subject
Yeah pretty much, it's pretty damn awesome.
[If he doesn't think about the traumatizing events surrounding it, at least.]
Well, it wasn't just spell casting or whatever, but I could also warp and phase through things. Would make dealing with the daemons here a lot more manageable.
no subject
that... might not help, actually. from what i've heard, the things outside can kill just by contact, so you'd just be running facefirst into a world of pain a whole lot faster than normal.
dog says hi, by the way.
no subject
And you still haven't sent me a picture, why you gotta do me like this?
no subject
no fun allowed, powers or magic are gone. zip. nothing. so really, you'd just be getting a monster in the face.
maker, are you always this whiny? who let you wander away from your babysitter?
[ Still, a few minutes later, a picture attachment arrives - Cousland with her Mabari. She may or may not be gently pulling upwards on the corners of Dog's mouth with her fingers to make him 'smile'.
(Dog doesn't mind, of course.) ]
no subject
I'm not always whiny, but when I am, it works. Look at him! Man, you're lucky to have such good company.
no subject
well you'd better enjoy it! no more pictures for you, whinypants.
