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?

After a minute of digesting all of that, Steve nods. He doesn't look particularly happy, but there's not so much he can do at the moment for things that have already passed.]
You've had one Hell of a time here. I'm sorry to hear that. I think right now the best thing we can do about these is keep watching them. They might not seem dangerous now, but from what you just said, they might be a warning of some kind. I'd rather not take chances.
[He pauses to look back at the wall, which is covered in carvings.]
I'm going to sleep here tonight.
no subject
[Because there are eyes all around and John isn't going to be sleeping much.]
We did have some time last go around. Might have only been a few minutes. I'm not sure how long it lasted for other people. There were these thoughts in our head once lockdown started and all the doors opened suddenly. The world just... froze, and that's when people started wanting to kill. Admin told me later there had been 'errors' that night.
We had a few moments to resist the urge, though. There are a pair of handcuffs in my pack. Front pocket. They're the only thing there. If I start acting strangely, I'd like you to cuff me to whatever you can and just keep away. I'll try to be as cooperative as I can manage.

[It's an immediate response, but after Steve looks over at Watson and sees his expression, he realizes that the gesture isn't just the man volunteering to do the job.]
All right. You can stay up first.
[If he's going to be up anyway, at least he can feel safer if he's keeping watch. And after he's up for a while, maybe he'll sleep better. After what John says he's been through, Steve can't really blame him for being nervous.]
Don't worry. I'm not going to let either of us hurt anyone. You have my word.
no subject
Captain, I'm bound to worry, but I reckon between the two of us, we'll sort a way to manage. Get some sleep, yeah? I'll wake you up in a few hours.
no subject
You can't keep people from worrying, Steve.
How many people would be telling him that right now? And yet, if that's true, he wants to prove them wrong. Too many conquerors have tried to take the world with fear for him to just be willing to accept it.]
Just make sure you don't let it get to you. And wake me up if anything happens.
[Not that he won't wake up anyway--he'll have a hard time sleeping in this room--but it needs saying.]
Lucky I ran into you here. Thanks for sticking around, Doctor.

We're all in this together. You and everyone else have been through a lot more than me, and I have your experience with these Prophet eyes to help me out. I'm just the new guy. I should thank you for trusting me. Sir.
[Because if they're going to be formal about it, Steve will make sure he's doing his share. Maybe it's a little teasing, too, but it's in good humor. He leaves Watson with that before finding a good, clear space to settle down and sleep while still facing the wall with the most carvings on it.]
