Network Prompts
ONE: DISTORTION Something is wrong with the video feed. You're not sure what it is, but it seems that whenever anyone tries to post to the Network using video, their faces warp and distort like they're being ripped through with static. Odd, since it's only the people who show up blurry, and not the surroundings. Maybe you want to test it out with more people to see if everyone is experiencing the same problem, or maybe you just want to toss theories around about what the issue might be, but either way you turn to the Network for answers. Fortunately, the text and audio features are working normally, so you can still have conversations with the others without any problems.
TWO: STRAIGHT TO DETENTION You had to head to the school in order to grab some more rations, but before you head out for the day you decide to explore around a little more. You've heard that people have had success in the past connecting with the Prophet here, so you head to Samantha's classroom and sit at her desk. When you speak up, though, trying to make contact, it's not the Prophet who answers.
Instead, you hear the sound of a sharp crack and there's a sting on the back of your hands, like you've been whacked by a ruler.
Raise your hand! If you don't follow classroom rules, I'll have to give you detention.
A shadow flicks behind you, the looming outline of the teacher that reprimanded you disappears before you can get a good look. The problem? You can't seem to find the exit to the classroom. Your sense of direction warps every time you get to where it should be, causing you to become disoriented and turned around. The neatly-lined desks suddenly seem to form a maze. If you want to skip detention, you may need a little help from the Network. Maybe someone can guide you out.
Action Prompts
THREE: NO SOLICITING You're running out of time. You finally found a building you can stay in for the night...but it seems that someone else has found it first. And this someone else appears, for whatever reason, unhappy with the idea of letting you in to share the space. You know there's plenty of room for the both of you, and you don't have enough time to duck into another building for safety. You keep glancing nervously at the time on your tablet. It's cold, and you don't have much more time to argue before you're stuck out here.
If talking isn't going to get you much farther, maybe you can offer something that will make it worth their while. Or maybe you can even force the issue. You probably have something on you that you can use as a weapon if you're not confident that your own strength will do the trick.
FOUR: HOUSE AT THE END OF THE LANE The house that you and your traveling companion have stumbled across has seen better days. As soon as you step through the door, it's easy to see what's happened. Everything has blackened and burned--every object and decoration charred to oblivion, a snapshot of some family's unwitting last moment together. The only proof that it had ever been occupied at all is the creamy white silhouettes that light up the kitchen wall: the perfect outline of a mother, father, and young child holding hands as they pray together before the meal they'd never eat.
Maybe you can still find some useful items stowed away inside the cupboards.

[ Wilson tries to sound as apologetic as he can, because he is not in the habit of breaking into people's houses, or places of dwelling, since none of the buildings around can really be classified as houses. ]
I'm not an anomaly, just someone trying and failing to find his way around.
[ He notes Ion's cane, a thing that reminds him distinctly of House. Still, he's willing to bet that the reason Ion has a cane has nothing to do with a botched surgery or muscle death. ]
Sorry to bother you, I'll just be going... Unless there's something I can help you with?
[ He's not sure why he's asking that. Call it a doctor's intuition. ]

[He used to be surrounded by so much of it, all the time, but now it's rare he ever crosses anyone's path. Ion coughs into the sleeve of his free hand, then waves it dismissively.]
I'm alright. It's just that this weather gets to all of us, and I've never had a very good constitution to begin with.
[Still, he forces a smile.]
In any case, if you need food or water, I'm happy to share what I have.

[ There's a lot about Ion that's intriguing Wilson, but that last statement ramps up his curiosity even more. ]
So that's what I have to look forward to, then.
[ He gives a half-hearted chuckle before continuing. ]
Is there anything anyone can do about that? I'm going to guess that medical supplies aren't exactly in abundance here, but I might be able to help.
