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?

Of course.
no subject
*He heads over to where he left the puzzle...but now its nothing but a white paper? Or had the illusion just worn off?
He points at the paper.*
What do you see?
no subject
I see nothing.
[He picks the sheet of paper up in his gloved hands and stares at it. As far as he can tell, it's ordinary paper.]
Just paper.
no subject
Man, this place gave him a headache.*
It wasn't that a moment ago...but, uh, thanks. I guess you can get back to sleep. Sorry to bother you.
no subject
Did you see something?
[He gingerly sets the paper back down.]
no subject
no subject
[He looks down at the paper thoughtfully.]
Why would it just disappear?
no subject
no subject
[chaos smiles weakly and rubs the back of his head.]
In a place like this I guess it wasn't a nice picture of a lake or anything like that, huh?
no subject

no subject
*Or that was him, same difference.*
no subject
[He sits by the wall again.]
I will admit, I am curious what it showed you but you do not have to tell me if you don't want to.
no subject
*He picks up the piece of paper and turns it over.*
I don't suppose you've heard of this sort of thing happening here before, have you?
no subject
[He waves a hand through the air.]
But the forces behind Norfinbury do sometimes play with our senses.
[Even his own senses are confounded by the power here, which bothers him a bit.]
It's...just something you learn to live with, while you're here.
no subject
Still, there are likely to be some patterns. Though I guess this isn't one of them.
*How does he ask "are you also hallucinating" without sounding terrible...?*
no subject
no subject
no subject
Those take on many forms.
[He thinks. Have there been any other jigsaw puzzle related incidents?
...No, he decides, not that he can recall.]
no subject
no subject
[He'll admit to it.]
Sometimes everyone seems to share in the same illusion at once.
no subject
*Hmmm*
Unless the puzzle was real and this piece of paper isn't. Though, I admit, I have no idea how we'd tell which is which.
no subject
Well, now that you mention it, it being real is still a possibility.
The spiders like to clean things up when nobody's looking. I took a whole room apart once and it was intact again the very next day, like I hadn't even been there.
Maybe they took the puzzle when you came to wake me.
no subject
*At least not until a day has passed.*
no subject
[He smiles. It's more for Manuel's sake than anything. Surely, believing the spiders are behind this is more comforting than thinking one's senses are being manipulated.]
