Network Prompts
ONE: IT WON'T BE LONG NOW... Well, you made a mistake. You spent too long searching around, or you ran outside near the end of the day for just one more thing, and now you've been locked out. You can search around all you want, but the best shelter you can hope for is pressing against the side of a sealed up building. You do still have your tablet, though. Maybe someone on the network can give you some advice, or at least some comfort while you wait for hypothermia to set in.
TWO: CABIN FEVER Maybe you didn't want that mistake of getting caught outside to happen again, but now you've ended up staying too long in one location, and cabin fever has set in. Maybe you're taking to the network to try and ignore the hallucinations. Maybe you want to tell everyone that you've figured out they're all in on your kidnapping. Maybe you ended up wandering off and now you'd really like to know if anyone can check back in the place you were at for your pants.
Action Prompts
THREE: AN UNEXPECTED MEETING You're going about your business searching what seems like it might be an especially promising house--it's fully intact and there's even a working fireplace with some wood! It looks like someone else has the same idea, though, and you've run into them in the middle of your search. Do you share the potential wealth or try to kick them out? On the other hand, maybe you know who this is, or maybe you're just glad to actually see another person for the first time in ages.
FOUR: GOOD MORGUE-NING You've just woken up in a morgue after dying in one unfortunate way or another. You have no idea where you are beyond that, but your tablet is insisting you can't stay here, so you should probably get out of here pretty quickly. Of course, bringing people back from the dead isn't a perfect science, so you're missing something important to you. Maybe you've lost your voice, maybe you can't remember where you're from, maybe you can't remember where you are right now. It looks like someone else is nearby, though. Maybe they can help you out?
I said I wasn't stuck! Don't embarrass me like that. I like it outside. It's a nice temperature. Perfect for lounging outside of the cabin. It was too stuffy in there. You see? Do you see?
[He tilts his head, closing his eyes as he pulls his pinky out of his nose, only to blow the booger away. A sniff follows.]
You sound like you want me to sing to you or something. Are you having trouble sleeping? Is my tone going to put you to sleep? [His teeth clatter together on that last sentence, much to his chagrin. He gives an irritated scratch to his head, bobbing his head as if that would shake the foul mood from his skull.]
No way. I already have a celebrity love interest, I'd rather have him sing to me instead! [Why does she make it sound like it'd be cheating otherwise?! That's not even how it works!] Besides, the night is still young! It's way too early to sleep.
[Truthfully, she's a little too restless to sleep, too. It wasn't often that she was without her sister, so not only did she feel incomplete, but— well, she was worried about her, too.]
Oh! I'm not going to sleep anytime soon, so I'll keep you company, okay? It'd probably be bad if you fell asleep out there.
If you heard me sing, you will rethink your celebrity crush. [Not even a little lie. No, that was a straight up, shameless lie. How could he resist saying such a thing when given such an opportunity?] Oi, shouldn't you be worried about beauty sleep?
[Even in the face of inevitability, were they both disregarding the obvious? He wouldn't last the night. Eventually he would chatter and shiver. He would curl up in the damp material of his yukata and fall asleep in one last ditch effort for warmth, only to die.
Yet they were skirting small talk.
They both probably knew. Thus amplifying the reasons for the small talk. Gintoki let out a shuddered laugh. He could appreciate the attempt at downplaying the situation. It definitely assisted with the ability to cope.]
If you don't care about beauty sleep, I will take the company. Falling asleep so early would make me old.
It's totally fine! I'm still growing, so there will be plenty of time for my shape to fill out! [Hold on, where is this conversation going—] I'll be nothing compared to Kuru-nee, though! No amount of beauty sleep could ever make me as pretty as her!
[Despite what she says, there is nothing but enthusiasm and affection in her voice. In fact, there is arguably too much affection in her voice, but that is neither here nor there...]
So, anyway, tell me about yourself! What's your name, where do you come from, and what do you like to do for fun?
[Does she ever stop talking?! That alone might be enough to put him to sleep...]
[This one was a yakker. Aye he almost wished the hypothermia would settle in his bones faster. He was not a master of small talk. If someone was to commandeer a conversation with inanity - it was to be him, understand?
He digs his finger into his ear, eyes narrow as he becomes unsure of the point of her conversation. He was disinterested in just how this girl's shape was apparently going to make like a Packetman. Standards! He had standards to adhere to.]
Maybe Kairo-nee also thinks the same of you when she lays her head down on a pillow at night! When we rest our heads we are all on level ground! Take heed. [Don't think too hard into that. He certainly isn't.]
Sakata Gintoki. Let's say from Edo. Reading JUMP is fun. [A thoughtful pause that even causes him to stop digging into his ear.] This seems awfully lackluster, but that is who I am. I am just a lazy old man who has scraped by for a living. [He pulls his fingers from his ear, flexing his frozen fingers. A sting of needles overtook his hand with the motion.] Hey. If you talk about yourself maybe I can sleep all right.
Hey! You're not supposed to fall asleep. I want to get to know you, so it'd be really rude if you fell asleep!
[Not that that's the reason she's chatting him up. Mostly, she's bored and lonely and she figures that if he manages to survive, he'd kind of owe her one for it. Not to mention that, as an Orihara, she's kind of rude by default, so she has no right to complain about someone else being rude.]
And anyway, aren't you too old for JUMP? A guy like you should be reading more adult stuff! There's nothing wrong with indulging in dirtier things once in a while, you know!
Oi! Kairo-nee probably would not be so bold! You're too bold!
[Oh, he's awake now - his interest piqued at the mention of dirty mags. A little girl definitely should not had dirtied her hands with such things! Should she be reading MAGAZINE or something like that? That was definitely more her speed, he had decided.]
Even if you've curiously thumbed through that section in the konbini, you should not admit to knowing its existence! Boys will be too afraid to talk to you! Sure, sure every man finds excitement with an experienced woman - but aren't you too young?! You should be reading JUMP too!
No one is too old for JUMP. Once you stop enjoying JUMP, you have stopped enjoying life! Death is knocking on your door once JUMP has lost you.
It's Kuru-nee! Orihara Kururi is her name! And don't be fooled, even though she looks shy, Kuru-nee's probably even more bold than I am!
[She sounds so proud... So proud...]
And also, girls mature sooner than boys so it's just fine! That's also why if boys can't handle my outspoken nature, then they're not worth my time. If anyone knows how to appreciate a mature girl's interests, it's definitely other girls! Girls don't need JUMP to have a good time!
[JUST WHAT IS SHE IMPLYING HERE... She's so blatantly ignoring how gross she sounds that it's hard to tell if she doesn't realize what she's saying or if she really is just that gross.
