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?
You can have it if you come back. [It's impressive, the level way England manages to say that. It's also a good thing that the camera isn't turned towards his face, because that would completely ruin the effect of composure.
But he ruins it all anyway with the slight waver in his voice as he adds:] Fair game, otherwise.
I'll find you before it's been weeks. [He's a bit too confused to really focus on the dying issue, but he can still think about food--fittingly for America. Belatedly, he responds to England's first statement.] Lost track of time.
[When England is absolutely certain that his face isn't doing anything too incriminating, he turns the tablet away from the food so he can look into the camera.
Well, he definitely looks cross, at least.] Don't lose track of time again. The tablet gave you a warning, there's no excuse.
[England pauses, and for a second, glances up and away from the tablet to something else in the house. When he looks back, there's a frown on his face.] There's no fireplace here. Sorry.
[Not that a fire would do America much good from where England is, but it might be comforting to at least look at.]
'S okay. I can find one later. [A lot of things are being assigned to "later" right now. Sleep is sounding like a good plan at the moment, even though he's pretty sure that's a bad idea.] I'll tell you where it is and you'll bring cookies.
Well you'll bring it. [America's voice has dropped off a bit more, but he can still be heard, even if the wind is competing with him more than it was.] And we can cut it into pieces.
It'd be nice here... Any party... [Which ends up being the last thing he says. It's not really the last words he would have hoped for, but he didn't plan on dying of hypothermia, either.]
[England doesn't realise what's just happened, at first, since all he has to go on is America's audio feed. When no response comes, his reaction is predictable, his expression on the video confused.] ...America?
[Nothing. Another attempt, more firmly, as confusion slowly becomes distress:] America?
[He shakes the tablet as if it's just malfunctioning, and America's voice will come through again at any moment. But when the silence stretches on too long, he squeezes his eyes shut and takes a shaky breath.]
...it would be nice.
[He turns off the video feed. Even the camera watching him is too much; he needs some time to himself.]

You're an idiot. I can't believe you got caught outside.
I'll be very cross if you leave me with this stale biscuit for weeks on end waiting for you to show up.

England scowls, his face colouring as he angles the tablet so his forehead is no longer visible.] You're such a prick.

[That doesn't even make sense. He's not the greatest at comebacks right now.]
no subject
He's still hiding his eyebrows, also. He regrets turning on the video.]
