Network Prompts
ONE: THE FRIENDSHIP CIRCLE
Whether or not you were aiming for this to happen, you've ended up in Downtown's Toy Store for the night. Right away, it gives you a creepy sort of vibe. There's even a doll staring up at you from the doorway when you come inside, discarded and lonely on the floor. It has no eyelids or eyelashes, its too-lifelike eyes precariously stuck onto dark hollows. Its mouth a despondant, stitched-on frown.
Ingoring it, though, nothing particularly odd seems to happen--at first. It isn't until you sleep when a sinking feeling jolts you from your slumber. It's not hard to figure out where the soruce of the unease is coming from: the doll from earlier is laying just inches away from your face. When you sit up, you realize that it's not the only one: every doll has moved from the shelves and surrounded your sleeping body in a neat circle. All of their eyes are sunken. All of their mouths are turned into frowns.
Maybe you'll have an easier time getting back to sleep if you can find someone on the network to talk it out with.
TWO: IT BLEEDS
Something's wrong with the wallpaper in this house. You're not sure exactly what it is, but it makes your head dizzy to be around it for too long. If it's affecting you this badly, it's possible that other people might have the same problem in the future, so it would probably be a good idea just to take it down. Only, when you pull at the first piece, it's not just the wallpaper that pulls away from the wall...but the skin of your arm, which breaks open in a long scratch. It isn't deep enough to draw blood, but certainly enough to feel raw and uncomfortable.
It would be a good idea to stop what you're doing and reach out for some medical advice.
Action Prompts
THREE: THE QUIET GAME
You and your traveling compaion have found shelter at the library. It's a nice, spacious building with plenty of comforable places to sleep and books to occupy your time, so at first this seems like a fine place to spend your time. Only, you can't shake the feeling that someone else is here with you. And everytime you talk too loudly, a fierce shhh passes between your ears, passing a shiver down your spine. Eventually, you hear a slithering voice whisper no talking in the library, and a pinch stabs at the corner of your mouth.
Your companion can hear it too...right?
FOUR: PICTURESQUE
Not too long ago, you found a jigsaw puzzle. The pieces were all stored in a plain box, so you weren't sure what the picture was meant to be. You've been having a slow night, so while your traveling companion tries to get some sleep, you decide to see if you can solve it. Only...you start to notice something familiar about the setting as it unfolds before you. Piece by piece, it becomes clear: it's something from home, something only you should know.
You have to show your traveling companion--only when they go to look for themselves, all that's left is a square of white paper where the puzzle once was. But that can't be right, can it?

[ He grabbed at chaos's sleeve, intent on dragging him over to the puzzle he'd left laid out on the desk. ]
no subject
Sister?
[He walks up to the table and looks down with a furrowed brow.]
...I don't see anything here at all. It's just a piece of paper.
no subject
frankly didn't even notice, as he was too busy hunching over the piece of paper, flipping it over like it was hiding something. ]
What? No way!
[ He grabbed the corner, flailing the piece of paper around and inadvertently tearing part of it. ]
I'm tellin' you, it was one of those jigsaw photo puzzles! One of those ones where the pieces ain't even all square!
[ He hated those, they were such a pain in the butt to solve. ]
no subject
Gaju...
I believe you.
Sometimes this place likes to show us things.
no subject
What? What's that supposed to mean?
...Shit, you mean like those movies where the dude is just sitting there talking to himself and he thinks he's in a bar or something?
no subject
Yes, that's right.
Sometimes, I think this place is trying to tell us something but others it may just be trying to get a reaction from us.
no subject
[ Especially not over something so creepy god
He jabbed a finger in chaos's direction. ]
What if I'm cracking up? Hell, what if you're not really here?
no subject
[chaos thinks a moment, then gives his honest answer, though he suspects his companion might not like it.]
Illusion or reality makes no difference to the person experiencing it.
But...
I think we're really here. Sometimes something messes with our minds, that's all.
no subject
[ But whatever. He dropped the piece of paper, which swept onto the floor with little fanfare. If it had had something on it, at least he could have torn it up dramatically or something. For his part, Gaju sank into a nearby chair, brooding. ]
I spent like a whole hour on that thing, damn!
no subject
[chaos leans against the wall, still smiling. He doesn't comment about his own calm. As far as he's concerned stressing out about things never helps.]
You said it was a picture of your sister?
no subject
[ He said this distractedly, carelessly, like it was 100% normal to get your photo taken for a print publication. ]
If the ghost puzzles don't drive me crazy, the stupid doors will.
no subject
no subject
[ MAN, he'd been all excited about it, too. Now that? Just sitting on his hands for the next x hours? He began to tap his foot impatiently on the floor. Allegro, three-quarter time. ]
no subject
[chaos closes his eyes and listens to the tapping of Gaju's foot against the floor.]
They must be able to see our memories.
no subject
And who's 'they'?
no subject
[He looks up again and rubs the back of his neck.]
Sorry, I didn't mean to creep you out, I was just thinking out loud.
no subject
[ There went that fleeting hope that someone might have some answers. Blargh. Gaju stopped tapping his foot, instead heaving himself up from his seat to pace back and forth among the shelves. ]
There could be a different explanation. Let's not jump straight to readin' minds.
no subject
It could also be that their technology is able to trigger our temporal lobes and higher parts of our visual cortices. In other words, maybe they are physically stimulating us to see things and our own minds pull from our memories to create the illusions.
