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?

Junpei | Zero Escape
[This night was boring. So horribly boring. Getting to sleep already would have been a great idea if he could, but... No. It just wasn't going to be possible without something to numb his mind. But if he had to stay awake, he had to find something to do.
That was what had led to it. To Junpei aimlessly matching up the pieces of a puzzle he'd found earlier on. One that hadn't even come with a picture on its box, and so perhaps understandably, one he wasn't ready to get his hopes up about. What really were the chances that all the pieces even belonged to the same thing?
...
After a while, he understood those chances were, in fact, high. But. What was this? How had someone here managed to use a picture of--]
H-hey!
[Quietly keeping to himself to let the other rest wasn't an option anymore.]
C'mon, get up. You gotta see this.
no subject
[The helmeted boy clambers to his feet. It's not like he was really sleeping, anyway, just scrolling through the network quietly on the other side of the room. He's not the kind of kid who was really built for sleeping. The excitement--or maybe it's apprehension?--in Junpei's voice definitely grabs his attention, and he's crossed the room in two shakes!]
Um...
[He tilts his head down, directing his gaze to the puzzle that Junpei's put together. That's what he's talking about, right? There's nothing else to look at. But...that can't be right, either, cause there's nothing to look at here, either.]
Is that supposed to be...a jigsaw puzzle?
no subject
[He looks up, at that question. Right, this kid... He's not that normal, is he? ... As if anything here is normal. Still, it crosses Junpei's mind for a moment that maybe he's never seen a regular, not death game related puzzle, before.]
Yeah, it is, but. Didn't you say your team had a picture of the rest of us? Look at it. Doesn't that look like Aka-
[... No, wait. Where did it go? Junpei's gaze darts down to his hand. He's still holding a piece-- albeit a blank white one, now-- so how can the rest of it be gone?]
W-what the hell?
no subject
[He's not trying to be a broken record, honestly, but he cocks his bulbous head and can't help but wonder...what?]
Are you okay? Maybe we should call one of the doctors...
no subject
[Junpei closes his eyes for a moment, raising his free hand to rub at them. It has to be some kind of illusion, right? But, when he looks again, it's still gone.]
There was a puzzle there.
no subject
[His voice is obviously placating. He doesn't want Junpei to feel bad! The guy is probably under a whole lot of stress, after all.]
It's just...a blank puzzle. I wonder why someone would make a blank puzzle...
[And, to continue being encouraging...]
Hey! You nearly finished it! That's really impressive, actually, to do that without any sort of markings!
no subject
... Maybe it's supposed to be snow.
no subject
[There is a lot of snow here. But that just kind of makes this more boring. He leans in closer.]
It would be better with a snowman. Do you have a marker?
no subject
Watch it erase itself right after.
no subject
[Full of what appears to be renewed energy (that's a child for you), he scampers out of sight. Junpei will be able to hear the bobble-headed boy rustle through cupboards and cabinets, and then suddenly...]
Aha! I got one!
[A moment later and he's back with a thickly-tipped black marker in hand. He's already uncapping it as he reaches the table where the blank puzzle sits, and goes down to his knees to get a better reach.]
But, anyway, what were you going to say? That you saw someone else from C-Team?
no subject
But, that question...]
Yeah. Or, I thought I did.
[That's a lie. He's still sure of what he saw.]
I could've sworn it had a picture, before, and Akane was in it. ... This place is just fucking with us. That's gotta be it.
no subject
[But he didn't. He just saw a completely blank, put-together puzzle that might as well have just been a piece of paper. Or, once-blank, now, as the boy starts to scrawl a pretty basic snowman onto the page. It's not very good, but maybe he hasn't done a whole lot of drawing in his lifetime.
It gets the point across, and he seems happy, so that's good.]
Do we close our eyes now?
no subject
[Somehow, he'd be pretty willing to call that concept "normal". But why isn't that what it's doing?
At least whatever's up with this puzzle, it doesn't seem to prevent him from watching as the drawing's created. ... Or noting that he could have done better.]
That, or look away, I guess.
[Or both, as Junpei seems to be trying, now.
Why does this feel so stupid?]

Still, she pushes herself up on her elbow from where she'd been resting with her head on her backpack. There's a scowl on her face as she uses her free hand to rub the sleep from her eyes.] What the hell? This better be important if you're interrupting my beauty sleep. [Beauty sleep which is much more desperately needed for the fact that soap and showers are in short supply here...
She is being facetious about that, though. Mostly.]
no subject
It is.
[... Well, really it's not.]
It's more important than beauty sleep, at least. I can't pick it up, so come over here.
no subject
Ultimately, she decides she doesn't want to leave it all to Junpei if there is something weird happening. So she hauls herself up from her uncomfortable resting place and trudges over to where Junpei is waiting, placing her hands on her hips and leaning in to get a closer look.] Well? What is it?
no subject
What, you can't tell just because some pieces are missing? Did you forget about it already? It's obviously the Funyarinpa. I never knew they made real puzzles out of it!
no subject
And then once more back to Junpei, with a furrow to her eyebrows that says she's concerned for his mental health.] You're joking, right?
no subject
Huh?
[As he looks down as well, all Junpei is met with is white. He's sure there had been more black pieces to it. Or, actually, any pieces. What's going on, here?]
... Now I can't either. [This isn't right at all. He isn't supposed to be the one looking stupid...] Maybe you scared it off, or something.
no subject
[Though it would almost be comforting if she really could scare off some of the weird things that happen in this town.]
no subject
I mean. I didn't. I woke you up to show you a puzzle, not a piece of paper.
[... Actually...]
... But I guess that is a puzzle.
no subject
But they've kind of left a bad taste in her mouth after the Nonary Game.
With little regard for Junpei's personal space, she reaches past him to snatch up the blank piece of paper. It looks like paper, and it feels like paper...]
There's no way this was a puzzle. [The obvious conclusion.]
no subject
There's no way it was always here, either.
no subject
no subject
[... What would it be? Just to make him look crazy? It couldn't be anything deeper than that, could it? It's not as though there was a guarantee that anyone else finding the puzzle would want to show it off.]
I don't know. But it was.
[Then, wait a minute...
He gives a confused look around the room. Discovering nothing, of course, but...]
Who the hell else is even here to switch it out, though?
