Network Prompts
ONE: WE ALL FLOAT DOWN HERE
You're taking your first leap down into the underground tunnels, glad for a break from snowy travel. Everything is going well at first, but then...You see something up ahead. Something colorful? It's hard to tell what it is, but as you cautiously approach it becomes more obvious: a single, floating balloon. There's a curled piece of paper tied delicately to the end of the string. If you dare to read it, it provides you with a simple message:
h͙̟͝e͏͉͍l̯͔͍̩̼̫̣l̢̥̥̩̥̞͓o͘
Or maybe it's something different. No matter what it is, you don't feel very good after reading it. Maybe you should turn to the Network for comfort. Even if they don't have any explanation, at least you might feel a bit better not being completely alone down here.
TWO: THE BEST MEDICINE
Today, you found an SD card for your troubles. It downloaded an app to your tablet titled JOKES.EXE. Figuring you could use a laugh, you opened it to see what it contained. Screen after screen, it generates for you a joke. Once you tap on the lead-in, it delivers the punchline. Only...These jokes aren't really that funny. In fact, they're kind of unsettling. Like someone went out of their way to put a dark spin on them.
The little boy was disappointed he couldn't go to the family restaurant for his birthday party.
He'd already killed his family.
Yeah, that's enough. You put the jokes out of your mind. It's not like it's going to hurt anything. At least that's what you think, until the jokes start inserting themselves into the text you write to others on the Network. Switching to voice or video doesn't help, either. Even though you aren't making any jokes, if you play back your feed, you'll find yourself saying them. Hopefully you don't offend someone during the time it takes you to find a way to uninstall the app.
Action Prompts
THREE: INSIDE JOKE
Overall, you'd say it's been a pretty peaceful night. You try and go to sleep before your traveling companion, knowing that the light of their tablet won't bother you. The real problem is that every time you're about to drift off, they start laughing. Sometimes it's a muted giggle underneath their breath, as if they read something funny, but other times the laughter is outright and uncontained. After awhile you have to ask them to be more respectful and quiet down, but when you sit up and look their way, they only seem confused.
What are you talking about? Of course they weren't laughing. They thought you were the one laughing in your sleep.
FOUR: EVERY NIGHTMARE YOU'VE EVER HAD
It's quite likely that neither you nor your traveling companion was very happy to find themselves stuck in the house with all the clown decorations just before lockdown. But there's no time to find new lodging now, and being uncomfortable is definitely preferable to being frozen, so here you're going to have to suck it up and stay. The only problem is that you feel like there's someone else in the building with you, watching from just out of sight. It sends a paranoid chill down your spine--you're sure you've checked the house top to bottom already, and there wasn't any trace of anyone else--and is it just you, or does that clown statue look disturbingly lifelike?
You get closer, but it isn't breathing, and the eyes are glassy. But wait, that one over there...it wasn't there before, was it? Or, did you just see a spotted piece of fabric move out of the corner of your eye? You can't shake the feeling that one of these clowns is more than just a decoration, but no matter how hard either of you try, you can't seem to find the culprit. Maybe it really is just your imagination running wild, but still, how are you supposed to get any sleep like this?

That's lucky, then. Some houses here have 'data ghosts'. Creepy stuff will happen if you do specific things. It's how we've opened up new areas, too. I got a can of tuna once because I talked to a cat under the floorboards, and a couple blankets from Andromeda.
Thought we might've had a tunnel ghost, but maybe not? You start seeing eyes, though, and you better get out of there.
[ Sylar, how long ago was it that you were chasing her down? Not long enough to act protective, that's for sure. ]
This is incredibly late. No worries if you don't want to continue
[ She's just going to stare and wonder about his sanity. ]
I don't understand half of that. Data ghosts and seeing eyes?
[ Yeah, she's going to look at him like she thinks he's crazy. ]
:D
Okay, so first? You need to read all the guides people threw your way. You're going to die, at this rate, and I know that's a new experience for you.
[ But he will still explain. ]
The eyes are graffitti doodle eyes, and they're the symbol of a cult that got started in this town after the nuclear strike. Everyone has nanites in their blood, right? And these nanites all scanned the brains of their residents at some point. It was for medical purposes, but we think some of that data leaked and got into the restocking system here. So it's making items at a low rate for us, but sometimes it has stuff like dolls that look like us, or stories about us. That sort of thing.
With all that happening, it's not surprising that little 'pieces' of these old town residents have clung to some places.
[ He shrugs. ]
So you can think I'm nuts- I mean, I'm sure this isn't helping. But you'll start seeing it soon, and it's only gonna get worse the more east you go. You should know what to keep an eye out for.

[ Most of them. ]
And I don't think I'm going to die. I mean, no one thinks they're going to die.
[ And please, give her more credit than that, Sylar. She's not going to fall over and die from a gust of wind. ]
Well, I would think you're nuts, but then again, everyone else here seems to think the same things you do. Or at least, I've heard people talking about cults and eyes and other things. I think if you were the only one going nuts, other people wouldn't be playing along.
[ She doesn't mean that to be rude. She's just stating her conclusions. ]
How long have you been here?
no subject
A little under five months, now. Too long, just like everyone here. The people who've been here longest have had nine months of it.
And I did the dying thing while I was here. Would not recommend it. Waking up in a body bag is the worst.
