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?

I am Groot?
[Do you think these doll clothes will fit him? They look warm and colourful, and he would look good as a clown.]
no subject
What? Of course they won't fit you! [ They totally would. ] You're barely big enough to wrap a seat belt around. You'd drown in those psychotic, yellow suits.
[ Carefully, with an eye on the clowns at all times, Rocket walks over to Groot, aiming to pick him up and throw him on his shoulder. ] Trust me- [ He says, voice much lower. ] Yellow's not your color. [ And then, in a sound that's much softer: ] If you want somethin' warm, we can share my jacket.
no subject
I am Groot.
[That jacket kind of smells now, friend. He grins widely, lowering his voice conspiratorially.]
I am Groot.
[But not as much as Peter smells.]
no subject
But then Groot says that Peter smells, and Rocket's smirk gets wider. ]
You're right, he does smell.
[ When he gets to where they were planning on sleeping for the night, Rocket extends his arm, so that Groot can walk off his shoulder with ease. ]
That's why he's sleepin' over there. And we're sleeping over here.
[ Just loud enough for Peter to hear really. If he's paying any attention. ]
no subject
I am Groot.
[Better in here than out there, he doesn't trust snow. Not Norfinbury, but snow specifically... any snow.]
no subject
Why? [ Rocket asks, as he brings his head to the ground, ear flickering for a second as he just listens for a moment. ] What's wrong with snow?
no subject
[It's said very decisively with a slight sneer of disgust; snow is just like a hat for the ground, it's a way to confuse where the real ground starts and ends. It just seems untrustworthy, like the ground has something to hide.]
no subject
[ He doesn't hear much other than the two of them, Peter, and anyone else that might be traveling with them. Safe, for now. ]
If anything, the snow's the one who ... oh. Yeah. Okay. [ And just like that, he agrees. As if insulting the weather really leads to places. ]
