✭ Now you have a sample ready for your application!
✭ So go reserve and apply when reservations and applications are open.
✭ Seriously, do it.


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?

The one that's probably possessed? Good choice.

[ She's not joking, but there's a hint of a joke to her voice. This place makes everyone insane, but Steph really hates clowns. ]

I'm not sleeping tonight. Both a decision and a prediction. Not happening.

[ Oh how much he'd like to say that she can keep watch, and he can catch some z's. But no, Rocket can feel it on the ends of his fur. One of these things is going to hop into action any second now with a knife in it's hand and murder in its beady little eyes.

The thought on it's own, and the fact that it's going to bother him all damn night is enough to get him to push one of them over. ]


Screw this.

[ Because when he sees that the clown doesn't immediately animate and attack him, he takes its foot in one paw and throws it long. Until he can hear the double thud and thud of it hitting a wall and then the floor. ]

[ Steph stares at him as he goes after the thing. She definitely approves, but that was still a little... ]

Or that works too, I guess.

First thing tomorrow we're burning these things.

[ He says, turning around and walking back to where they're going to have to spend the night. ]

Doesn't mean I gotta let them look at me all night.

You've got claws, right? You could scratch their eyes off.

[ That's actually a really good idea. She pulls the sharpened letter opener from her utility belt and starts scratching at eyes. ]

What am I? Some kinda an- [ He stops there though, despite the obvious thing he was about to say next, because holy shit she's already scratching one of the doll's eyes out.

Well okay then.

Why. The hell. Not.

Rocket grabs the next one and goes to work on it. ]


Maybe you're my kinda people after all.

Call it a preemptive strike. Make sure they know we're on to them.

[ Also she gets bored and destroying stuff is always rewarding in Norfinbury. She manages to actually chip a doll eyeball! ]
