Network Prompts
ONE: TIME TO CHECK WEBMD
You've found the pharmacy, which is really convenient, since you're not feeling that great. Actually, you're feeling terrible. Maybe you have a fever, maybe you're coughing up blood, maybe you're vomiting... Whatever it is, you should probably try to get some medicine for it. Well, if you can figure out what it is. Maybe someone on the network can help you out? Alternately, you know exactly what you have--but for whatever reason, the medicine here isn't something you can easily understand. You have to choose between a couple of options, and you don't know the difference. Hopefully someone on the network can tell you which will heal you and which will probably kill you.
TWO: NOT SO HELPFUL AVATARS
Every tablet has the option for a customizable avatar that will talk to you and keep your tablet in order. Maybe you set it up, maybe you never checked it. Either way, it keeps popping up unrequested and being sort of... Odd. Flickering, talking in strange, mechanical voices, offering advice that's unhelpful at best and actively harmful at worst... Maybe it's even telling the entire network some things you've been doing you'd rather everyone didn't know.
Time to call tech support. Unfortunately, the best option is other people on the network. Good luck.
Action Prompts
THREE: SCHOOL DAYS
You've ended up in the elementary school. Maybe you're grabbing more food, maybe you're exploring. Either way, this place is creepy; the atmosphere is the sort that gets the hair on the back of your neck rising (potentially metaphorically, if you don't have hair or a neck). It's not long before strange things start happening. The sound of running and screaming children, doors slamming in far off or nearby hallways, pianos playing... What's going on? It's hard to tell what's really happening from what isn't happening. Maybe someone who's also exploring has some idea.
FOUR: SUPPLY SCRAMBLE
You've just walked into a house, and look, there's fresh fruit sitting right out on the counter! How long has it been since you've had some of that? It'll definitely help provide some much-needed vitamins and maybe it will ward off scurvy and the like. There's even more than one piece!
...And there's more than one person here, too. So, what are you going to do? Are you willing to share, or are you prepared to stab someone over a pear? Time to find out just how badly you want that food.

Faris Scherwiz | Final Fantasy V
[Faris didn’t have the patience to figure out the little critter on the tablet out. It didn’t seem important.
Well, it didn’t seem important until the blazing thing started to chatter when the pirate tried to get some shut-eye or skulk about for supplies. Listening to the “helpful” advice didn’t work either. The stupid thing was trying to lead its owner to danger.
This was either someone’s idea of joke or this thing was possessed by something. First, Faris needed to figure out how to stop it, and then try to discern if this was an isolated incident or not. Waiting around for someone to bring it up wasn’t this pirate’s style.]
Anyone knows how to shut this dullard off?
It keeps prattling on at night and trying to get me in a tight spot.
If this is someone’s daft idea of a joke there will be hell to pay.
IV. Action
[Faris will claim all the fruit by licking it al!
Okay, they wouldn’t go that far. Even with scurvy being a very real thing for the buccaneer, Faris will approach the fruit with trepidation. It was fresh fruit out in the open of an abandoned home. There had to be a catch. ]
Who could have left you here? [Faris picked up an apple to inspect it carefully. It looked normal. It smelled normal. It could still be poisoned.
That’s when Faris noticed there was someone else there. Looking from fruit to the newcomer with grin. Thanks for volunteering to be the guinea pig, person.]
Care for a bite?
iv
Wow gee, that's real decent of you! Thank you!
[ Offering food to someone they just met! How nice. And she just--scarfs it down at a speed you'd swear would normally make you fear if they'd choke on it. It's less that she was starving and more of how she really just ate that fast. Sometimes. And in what was probably all too fast to be normal, it was only a core left in her hand. ]
Mm, that was great!
no subject
You’re a funny one, lass.
[Deciding it was safe enough, the pirate took a bite of an apple. Definitely as great as the girl made it out to be.]
Ever been told that you’re too trusting? [Sorry, but the pirate was talking while chewing.] I could be after your supplies.
no subject
[ She doesn't mind really, she scarfed down a whole chicken by herself once even with imminent threat of choking to death and--yeah maybe she could use better table manners too. ]
Since you told me to be cautious though... I'm more inclined to not be suspicious, right?
[ Yep, she's that kind of person! ]
IV
not quite a guinea pig, but how about a rat instead?][Freya had tried to listen quietly at the front door when she'd heard someone's voice, but quickly realizes she's failed at stealth this time. She swears under her breath, pushes the door open, and pokes only her face inside.]
Of what?
[she looks over the young person at the table, then notices the apple. Her eyes get very wide.]
...Oh. Gods, is that—you've found fruit?
omg Freya /o/
They look good and fresh. Think fast, lass.
[Just going to toss the apple at the other occupant of the house. Pawing through the other pieces of fruit to inspect them.]
Wonder if someone is growing them. [Just thinking out loud. It would be amazing to find and monopolize an indoor or underground garden.]
yes! \o\
Ahh; that's better. Didn't mean to let in a draft.
[she looks from the stranger to the fruit. Her nose twitches. She keeps her tone light, if cautious, but doesn't move from the door.]
Someone's got to be growing them somewhere close by. ...That's the most I've ever seen left at once, though. You haven't eaten anything yet?
IV
Well, at least she doesn't seem to be an outright threat. In the face of her offer, Kunsel let his attention get directed to the apple sitting there on the table.
"Wow, sharing with a stranger?" he said wryly. "Are you always this nice, or am I just special?"
No, she wasn't the only one suspicious of this either.
no subject
“Nothing wrong with the occasional sharing, helmet head.” She waited a beat before continuing, "if you aren’t interested though..." offering a light shrug as she spoke.
no subject
Though that particular insult was a good way to get him to make a face. It wasn't like it was a new one, but it'd never been his favorite. Maybe if he ignored it, though...
"Never said I wasn't interested," he pointed out. "I'm just curious about your motives."
[ooc: Just to warn you, I'm about to head into hiatus and won't be able to tag until next week.]
