Network Prompts
ONE: STAY HYDRATED
The shocking lack of vegetation and general isolation will probably make this feel much more special than it honestly is, but when you wake up one morning, you discover that a new app has appeared on your tablet! It's called WATERME and when you open it, the app prompts you to give a name to a cute little flower seed hopping up and down on your screen. Once you've named your seed, it asks you to drink some water. Generally, it seems like the kind of app that helps people remember to keep hydrated! How sweet! Whenever you drink some water, the seed seems happy. It eventually grows into a little bud!
Except, when you don't drink any water, your seed seems upset with you, and asks you why you want to hurt it? Why do you want it to die? Aren't you friends? Don't you care? You start to feel thirsty--too thirsty, more thirsty than you've ever felt before. So, maybe you should drink some water and help your seed out! Maybe you could talk around about the phenomenon...or maybe you just want to brag about how your seed is cuter than all the other seeds.
TWO: FLOWEY POWEY
After a period of time, your tablet freezes. One of two things happen. If you refused to water your seed, it disappears along with the app. If you did water your seed when it asked, it blooms suddenly into a big, beautiful flower! Be proud of your flower child, they've grown so big and strong. Except, its happy smile transforms into a malicious grin, and thorny vines spring out across your screen like a vice. Your tablet unfreezes, but the vines squirm and move things around, stealing bits and pieces of your text as you write and moving and hiding your applications mischievously.
This could just be an adolescent phase, but maybe you should try and find someone with Malwarebytes.
Action Prompts
THREE: STAY AWAY FROM THE BIG YELLOW ONES
You and your traveling companion have stumbled into the building that has an attached greenhouse filled with poisonous plants. Even on a good day, it's good to be cautious of where you place your fingers...but today you get the distinct feeling that something in the greenhouse is off. In fact, what's going on with that pod-shaped flower hanging around in a far, dark corner? It's pretty large for a potted plant.
When it opens up to reveal rows of sharp, jagged teeth lined along rough, flesh-like yellow petals, you realize that it isn't a flower at all. You've locked yourself in with an anomaly. The plant creature falls down onto four leafy legs and propels itself forward on vines--better act quick!
FOUR: NEXT STOP, ABERCROMBIE
You could have died in a number of ways--and, in fact, maybe you don't even recall dying at all. Still, you must have died, because as you wake up you aren’t where you were before. You’re in a bodybag in the columbarium morgue...and strangely, you have a distinct memory of someone placing a bouquet upon your chest, weighing you down as if each flower were as solid as a stone. There’s no visual to accompany this memory, as if your body was already dead when you felt it happen. It would be easier to brush it off as a fluke...except now all you can smell is rotting flowers--so strongly that they could be all around you. Of course, when you unzip yourself, there’s nothing there that seems to be the source of the smell.
Fortunately, it seems like there’s someone else there with you, in the part of the building outside of the morgue. Maybe they can help you, and figure out what happened. It would be nice to know, at least, if the smell is just in your head.

Xanxus | KHR
[The first day, the presence of a new app was only irritating. He'd opened it up to check for its purpose, then immediately dismissed it as having none. Just a worthless icon taking up space. ... That was what it would be if that were all. The notifications from it, though...
It's a few days and a few broken tablets later that he can't take it anymore, and has finally turned to the network.]
This shitty game. Make it shut up. Now!
[... Because everyone's totally going to drop what they're doing and come over to delete this app for him, right?]
---
THREE | Stay away from the big yellow ones
[Seeing plants for a change is.. well.. a change. But that doesn't catch his interest at all. He wants to head back out. He wants to be somewhere with furniture again, so he can rest after how draining it's been to be stuck with a traveling companion.
Or at least, his mind's wandering like that at first.
Though he may be without his flames, his senses haven't quite dulled. Something's here. Something they probably have to take care of before there'll be any peace and quiet in this building. Or more specifically...]
Useless trash. Get moving.
[Something the other person can deal with, instead, as Xanxus notices the creature move and kicks them towards it. As long as their enemy looks so pathetic, it's not worth his own time or effort at all.]
i can't pick but let's go with less dying i guess ONE
nether regionship, it probably has something to do with him GETTING CHUCKED AT A FUCKING ANOMALY a few days earlier. Which made for a split-up, and while he's trekking as fast as he can to reunite with his manbaby boss again, he's not quite there yet. ][ It sounds like he's doing as well as one could expect by himself. ]
Or you could just drink some fucking water. I told you five times you're not gonna find Incisa Della Rocchetta here.
[ if he sounds kind of like a tired babysitter it's because he is ]
no subject
Trash can be dealt with by trash.
[... In other words, please hurry up with the regrouping and take his tablet away, already. It's really hard to sleep over it.]
no subject
You'd better not be holding off out of spite. If I gotta force it down your throat, I'm gonna fuckin' do it.
[ it's like you didn't even address him as trash right there, Xanxus, he just mouths off right back. ]
[ of course, there's every chance that instead of doing what he's promising he will just shove your tablet under his pillow in an attempt to muffle the noise. depends how bad you look by the time he gets there. ]
no subject
He does seem to be.. in some sort of agreement with him coming over, though? Or perhaps just challenging him as well. Because while there's no further response, he hasn't cut the recording.
... Or maybe he's in a giving mood and just wants to share his suffering.]
no subject
[ He's used to it. He's done it for eight years, and this is unspeakably better. ]
We're gonna get out of here. Not fucking dying in the dumbest way possible would still be helpful, though. It's not a goddamn contest, it's just a stupid app, you don't need to prove anything to it.
[ a small pause as he considers which of his things got dropped before he died -- his voice goes a bit quieter. ]
How bad is the cold? [ It must hurt the old wounds, right? ] You did pick up my coat, right?
no subject
So thinking about it that way... As long as that noise keeps drowning out the app, maybe he can rest?
At that question, he offers only a single, quiet laugh. He did collect everything that was left. Why not? And that coat's making a half way decent blanket right now. But let the shark keep worrying about it, instead. That's what he gets for dying when he should be sticking around to carry things.]
no subject
[ ALSO EXCUSE, that's what Xanxus gets for throwing him at an anomaly!! Maybe think a little next time if you wanna keep your
slavethings around. Live and learn. ][ Okay, so if Xanxus was freezing his butt off, he would definitely be bitching by now, so Squalo takes that as a yes. It's a small relief at least. Still, that's being pretty quiet even for him. Did the app keep him from sleeping his usual 18 hours a day as was the custom for large predatory felines? Poor thing must be exhausted. ]
Alright, just wrap up and sit tight. I'll get there in about a day. Try to eat something. Yeah, I know the food here is utter shit but it's not like we haven't scraped by before, right? Remember that time in Brazil? Heeey, you're fuckin' falling asleep, aren't you?
... I clearly need to finish uploading my icons when I get home.
...
Yeah, he's not waking back up. Good thing Squalo probably knows where to find him.]
yes
[ anyway. ]
[ as annoying as this is, Squalo suspects that as soon as he hangs up the stupid app will be making noise again, so he heroically stays on dial and keeps making noise of his own. mostly, he's badly humming opera tunes with occassional lyrics made entirely of swearwords, and he'll probably keep that up for hours. ]
[ rest well
