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?

Garnet til Alexandros XVII | Final Fantasy IX
[ Late, late in the evening, two text messages go live, posted by @dagger: ]
I miss my Eidolons.
I wouldn't be half so scared if they were here with me now.
❖ it bleeds.
[ It's a video message this time, but Garnet is out of the frame. Furniture in disrepair has been pushed to the side so that the reason for her message can be seen without impediment-- hideous wallpaper, further deformed by a tear that exposes the plaster beneath, wide as a fistful and an arm's length long.
She sucks in a breath, too loud in the silence, before speaking in a tone of practiced composure. ]
Hello, everyone. I'm in a house northeast of the school right now; I'll be marking the front door when I leave. [ Yes, that would be best, she thinks. She clears her throat. ] The wallpaper... it only bothered me at first, but the more I looked at it, the more my head hurt. I wanted to look away, but I just couldn't. [ It's a sickening thought, the thrall this place possesses. ]
I thought I'd pull it off of the walls, but when I tried... [ She trails off, searching for words that will warn without causing undue alarm. ]
If you hurt it, it hurts you. [ And boy, did it hurt her. Bandages improvised from an old pillowcase are a poor substitute for white magic. ]
Oh-- I'm alright. [ Garnet finally makes an appearance, leaning into view from beside the tablet. She is facing away from the wall. With her bandaged arm under multiple layers of clothing, she is not visibly injured. Indecision flickers across her face, then she gives a little wave. ]
I'm leaving this place as soon as my message goes through. Please don't worry about me. [ She inclines her head before pulling out of the shot once more. ] And please be safe, everyone.
❖ wild card?
( Because I just realized I didn't write an action prompt. ∠( ᐛ 」∠)＿ Go me! )
the friendship circle.
Yo, Dagger, what's wrong?
Maybe I can keep you company.
voice
Oh, it's nothing. [ She's not quite ready to admit a bunch of dolls got the better of her. ] I thought someone might be in here with me... the wind must be making me hear things.
[ Yeah. The wind. Right. ]
It's very late... is everything alright?
voice
Yeah, I'm fine, I'm used to bein' up late.
What about you? Did something happen?
[Does he have to valiantly punch somebody?]
voice
I'm in the toy store tonight. [ She hates how ridiculous the following will sound, and it reflects in her voice. She sounds embarrassed. ] Someone took all of the dolls from the shelves and arranged them in a circle around me while I slept.
voice
[He tries not to let the worry seep into his voice much more as he asks...]
Do you think they coulda done that on their own?
