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.

[Okay, so the guy has a sense of humor. House can work with this. There's a smirk in his voice as he continues.]
I don't know that I'm ready to take our relationship to that level, Lancelot. I mean, we've only just met. I don't even have any string for a friendship bracelet, yet. How are we going to let everyone know it's for real?
no subject
No need to be coy, friend! We're all in this together, are we not? Let me just say that I speak from experience when I say that the bitter cold does wonders in bringing men closer together.
[That didn't sound weird at all.]
If it's a token of friendship you seek, I can most certainly arrange something. I'm not much in the art of crafting jewels but... I like to think of myself as something of an artist in other ways!
no subject
You really do know how to make a boy feel wanted. What sort of artist are you, then? Or are you an artiste?
no subject
But no, Ramsay is finding himself absolutely delighted with this strange little man! Or well, at the very least, House isn't quick to bore him. Which isn't necessarily a good thing but, you know.]
Woodcutting!
[D'ohhh.]
Sadly, I was robbed of my finest work upon arrival.
no subject
Real shame, there. Just a simple guy who likes carving things up, then, huh? I stick to the turkey at Thanksgiving dinner, personally. Got a nice electric knife for it, and everything.
[He doesn't, but he's seen people with electric knives. Wilson probably has one.]
But hey, I hear ice sculpting is in these days. Maybe you could get to that around the hunts.
What were you wanting to hunt, anyway, if it wasn't foxes?
no subject
And what's a Thanksgiving dinner? This mysterious "electronic" knife sounds wonderful by default, however.]
Perhaps I shall! You are just brimming with marvelous ideas, aren't you?
[He considers for a moment, if he really should answer that last question truthfully.
Well, there's no shame in it, so!]
I was hoping to settle for whoever designed this godless device but it would seem they're presently inaccessible. [A long, tired sigh, like this is such a crushing disappointment.] So I suppose I'll need to find a suitable replacement to satiate my boredom.
no subject
Get in line, Lancelot. Hear we're late to the party for wanting to pop a cap in the admin's ass. It's really freaking boring here, though, I'll give you that. Heard there are shadow things running around the school. They might be deadly, but I, for one, wouldn't mind dissecting one if they can be caught. I'm good at anatomy if you can bring me one. I don't do big game.
no subject
The whole "shadow" thing is mildly intriguing if anything. Something that perhaps say, a man of the Night's Watch would take interest in. But the word dissecting does catch Ramsay's attention.]
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooOOOOoh.
[Like suddenly everything makes sense here.]
Are you a maester?
no subject
I do medicine, if that's what you're asking. Only interesting cases, though. If your nose is running, deal with the cold. If your brains are running out of your nose, cool! Tell me where you are, and I can come help. Or watch. Either way, should be fun.
[And it will be first dibs for picking over the body...]
no subject
A medicine man. Who appreciates anatomy. Who only takes on interesting cases.
Who likes to watch.]
I must say, a man of your stature would most certainly appreciate my skill in woodcutting. Are you certain you wouldn't care to accompany me in this hunt?
no subject
Bum leg. Sorry, Lancelot. I don't do hunts anymore, only consults. Take a picture, though. I always like seeing good work.
[Give him a better idea what he's dealing with.]
no subject
Ramsay.
[Or, you know. Lord Ramsay. But oooh that can come later!]
Hm. Well, you see. I've never flayed a "shadow" before. Perhaps you might consult me on which part to cut away first!
[AND THERE IT IS. Right out in the open.]
no subject
And like hell House is getting anywhere near this guy if he can help it. Too bad he doesn't know what 'Ramsay' looks like. Still, his voice is very distinct. And House loses none of his veneer of mild amusement and sarcasm. Don't tip the loony off.]
Start small, I usually say. Work yourself up to the magic that is the chest cavity. Hands are some of the most sensitive appendages on the human body. Wonder if the same holds true for shadows.
[Yeah, he's just going to... encourage him to the shadows. For his own well-being if no one else's.]
Toes work, too. Might keep them from running if they need those for it.
no subject
But it's well played on House' part to keep up the smarmy sarcasm. Except, Ramsay actually finds himself impressed by this sagely advice.]
A wonder indeed. I do often find myself starting off with the fingers!
[Cheerfully going on about this delightful little topic like it's some trivially silly hobby.]
Though, I've really no qualms with running. Assuming they're even capable. I occasionally enjoy allowing them to use their feet.
[A long, thoughtful pause, before Ramsay lets out a somewhat frustrated sigh.]
But you see, I'm still not entirely convinced. Call me a traditional sort of a man. I am sure I would find my confidence, had I an experienced and knowledgeable man such as yourself by my side!
no subject
Okay. There are still at least a few ways to get out of this.]
Tell you what, Ramsay. I'll set up shop in the closest house I can find to the school. You catch a shadow, contact me, and I'll have you bring it over. I don't want to have to end things prematurely if this adventure keeps us busy overnight. We'll eat, drink, flay some shadows, talk about boys, and make a sleepover of it.
[And if this guy actually catches one of those things, House is calling any and every other seeming fighter he's met here over. He doesn't care if they think he's an ass. He's an ass who's going to ask for protection from the psycho.]
no subject
Oooh, that won't be necessary! A rendezvous point for such a trivial task would be both a waste of time and effort. You're a cripple, yes?
[Such colorful wording.]
Although we hardly know one another, I already consider you a valuable ally. I promise that under my guard, no harm will come to you.
[Wow. What a bargain.]
no subject
That's sweet, but I'm a lone wolf kind of cripple. [He hates that word unless he's using it mockingly, but let's go with that. Mr. Flayer probably couldn't even spell infarction, let alone understand it.] Except for the odd get-together. Keeps me hungry for the next kill, you know? Anyway, it'd ruin my street cred if I started walking around with another guy. People might talk, and I'm a really sensitive soul.
no subject
[Take Bran Stark for example! Or, well, the Stark family as a whole. WHILE WE ARE ON THE SUBJECT--]
Decapitated, gutted, burned alive. Their desecrated corpses proudly displayed for all to see. There is no trophy more sacred than that of a lifeless wolf.
[This would sound sagely if Ramsay weren't vomiting up gross metaphors for killing people.]
no subject
[There's a significant silence that follows that.]
Let's play a game, Ramsay. [And back to a flippant tone.] Keeps things from getting boring. You find this lone wolf, I'll hang out with you. We can be buddies! Let me know where you're stuck each night, and I'll let you know if you're hotter or colder on my location. Otherwise, let's keep it to picture postcards for now.
no subject
Then, almost like he's talking to a adorable brand new kitten--or, well, in this case, puppy...]
Lord Lone Wolf, are you offering yourself up for the hunt?
[Not even waiting for a reply, Ramsay claps his hands together.]
This lovely little village is just full of surprises, isn't it?!
[He exhales shortly, considering all the blah blah blah blah mechanics House is going on about. Yeah no. It doesn't work like that in Boltonville.]
Unfortunately, I won't be able to give you that little tip your vying for each night. I do however, promise from the bottom of my heart that I will find you and when I do, the two of us will indeed "hang out."
[He has no fucking idea what that actually means but he can deduct--]
Or, at the very least, you will.
no subject
The last thing he needs here is to be playing hide-and-go-seek with Hannibal Lecter's ancestor. Well, there goes ever using the video function on this piece of crap network where Psycho can see. Or mentioning his location publicly.]
Groovy, bro. Sounds like fun. Just remember to send me pictures while we're apart. I want to know what sort of hot stud is chasing after this hot stud. You'll know me by my long, flowing raven locks and sturdy hind quarters, my lord.
[He's finding that kid in the armor, and he is latching onto him. Permanently. At least until he can find a shield who's less annoying.]
no subject
[You can practically hear him winking over the microphone.]
Are you certain?
no subject
This ass can go for hours. [In a direction away from Ramsay.] Hope you've got some good stamina from all those other hunts. Not that I want to hear about the other wolves you've been with. Gentlemen don't cut and tell, do they?
[Because he doesn't actually want to hear about something like this if it was just for this guy's sick pleasure. And let's face it, there's no way any of these hunts could have been done for anything else.]
no subject
[And, well yeah. House is debunking Ramsay's generally unsound state of mind pretty quickly. Even though Ramsay himself would happily argue that each and every single man, woman, and child he's killed and or/hunted in his lifetime have been 100% justifiable.
Spoiler, it's actually more like an estimated sum of about 0%.]
And you are indeed right, I can't exactly give away those scrumptious little details. Wouldn't want to spoil the surprise! Granted, given what you've told me, I'm certain you are going to prove to be an entirely different beast.
Thanks for a truly AWESOME test drive thread. This has been so much fun. Good luck with your app! 8D
Guess we'll have to see. Kiss, kiss, my lord. I'll be waiting.
OH MY GOD thank you so much for this. iluforever. GOOD LUCK TO YOU TOO!
