Network Prompts
ONE: TURN AROUND
It's after lockdown, but not early enough to go to sleep. You've got everything sorted out, and now you're bored. Time to video chat on the network! Everything's fine from where you are... But unfortunately, there's something behind you. Something humanoid and creeping closer inch by inch, trying to sneak up on you without you noticing. Maybe the person you're talking to will let you know about that. The only problem? If you do turn around to look, you won't be able to see it. If your tablet friend can convince you to move to a different room and close the door, everything will be fine. If they can't, well, they'll be watching you get dragged off into the darkness before too long.
TWO: CAUGHT ON FILM
Normally, this doesn't happen. In fact, normally it never happens. However, something has gone a bit wrong today, and the tablets are turning on and off by themselves. This makes for some pretty disjointed conversations, with people popping in and out at the worst times. And, of course, someone might see you doing something you'd prefer they didn't see.
NOTE: Please don't post anything sexual in regards to this prompt. While in-game the network doesn't allow for accidental posts, we thought you guys could have fun with it here!
Action Prompts
THREE: HORROR HOSPITAL
After a long trek through the ice tunnels, you've finally reached the hospital! You've just stepped inside to see what there is to see... And the door locks behind you. Looks like it's curfew, and guess where you're spending the night? The atmosphere is oppressive and the tablets don't work quite right, but this is probably better than being outside. Maybe you'll have some company with you? And there are probably beds somewhere.
FOUR: OKAY GUYS QUICK POLL
You've run into some good luck--you've just found a blanket! It's soft and warm and if you fold it right, you're sure it will fit into your backpack. You're sure, but you can't tell, because it's already stuffed full of things. You're going to have to pick and choose what should stay and what should go... But hey, there are other people around! Maybe they can help you sort out your supplies! Maybe you can give them some of the stuff you can't carry! Maybe you can steal their backpack so you can carry more! The options are endless!

Axton | Borderlands 2
[Axton doesn't like Norfinbury. At all. Whatever asshole bad guys brought him here didn't just take his guns, they took his turret. And after a few days here, he still doesn't have her back. He does not take kindly to people that keep his girlfriend away from him.
On top of that, he's bored. There are weird shadow things and spiders, but he hasn't had a chance to kill a single one. Which is related to the complete and utter lack of guns. What kind of town doesn't have guns and ammo bursting from every container? It's like he's not on Pandora at all!
All of this is why he is looking distinctly grumpy as the video turns on.]
Hey. Any of you guys got alcohol you'd be willing to trade? There's no way I can put up with this place for much longer without something to drink.
In exchange, I can offer, uh... [He leans down to dig in his bag, giving an excellent view of the shadowy thing lurking behind him.] I've got a t-shirt, two coffee mugs, and some hair gel. That's gotta be worth something, right?
@butt; video
[ Axton might notice that Tina seems different somehow, despite no changes to her appearance whatsoever. You know - something just seems off? Like a photograph that catches someone at a weird angle so they no longer look like themselves.
Spoilers: it's because she's not swaying around like a drunken metronome child for once. Too busy being fixated on whatever the hizzle that thing behind Axton was god DAYUMN. ]
You might wanna, you knooow. Turn your big ol' buttsicle round and ASK THAT THING WHAT THRESHER-HOLE IT CRAWLED OUT OF. Oohhhhrghgh that is so WRONG.
no subject
Which means that when she says something's wrong, he reacts instantly. He whirls around, all signs of boredom and grumpiness dropping as he reaches for his makeshift weapon, ready to fight-
Nothing. There's nothing at all there.]
Uh, Tina? What're you talking about?
[The creature lurks ever closer, but Axton remains oblivious to its presence. OH SHIT.]
no subject
THAT! Thatthatthat! Willya kill it already it's givin' me the jibblies. 'Less it's your new squeeze, gurl, I'm not heres to judge you.
[ He's joking with her, right? HAHA OH AXTON. U CRAZY. ]
no subject
Hey, don't even start. You know I wouldn't cheat on the missus with the first freaky monster I meet.
[Wait, no. He pauses to consider.]
Unless the freaky monster was really hot. Which I can't tell in this case, because I'm seriously not seeing anything.
@TW; video
[ Tim halts mid-sentence as the creature looms into view. In other circumstances, it might be funny to witness - he just stops, his mouth frozen mid-syllable.
Shit. Shit shit shit the guy's going to die on camera shit shit shit. ]
Is - I - behind you.
no subject
He looks back at Tim.
He raises an eyebrow.]
Okay, I'm gonna need you to be a little more specific. By "behind you" do you actually mean that there's something behind me, or is it some kind of weird t-shirt economy thing? 'Cause I really can't tell right now.
no subject
Tim blinks, swallows, and rubs at the back of his neck nervously. Okay. Hallucinating. That's just awesome. ]
It - sorry, I, uh. Thought I saw something. A little low on sleep, so.
I meant to say that, uh--
[ It's still there why can he still see it ]
-- they won't be in demand unless the, uh, weather clears up.
no subject
Riiiiight. But, y'know, it never hurts to have extra layers, right? Even if it's... not exactly the thickest of layers.
[The thing behind him creeps closer. It sure is looking real for a hallucination!]
no subject
[ It's obvious that he isn't really listening. Too busy staring at thAT FUCKING THING OH GOD ]
Can - can you humour me a second? Throw something over your shoulder, I. I can see something moving.
[ What a delicate and understated way of putting it. Because that's what this situation calls for. JFC ]
no subject
This is one of those times he wishes he had some grenades. It would be a lot cooler to throw something explosive over his shoulder instead of a coffee cup.
The cup passes through the shadow and shatters on the floor. VICTORY.]
Doesn't sound like it hit anything. You sure you're not just seeing things?
[It could be a stalker or some other kind of critter that can turn invisible, but that doesn't seem incredibly likely at the moment.]
no subject
[ when are times that axton wishes he DOESN'T have grenades, aave
MEANING Tim gets to his feet, picking up the tablet and taking it with him. HE HAS ANOTHER IDEA. YEE. ]
Gonna try one last thing before we assume I'm nuts, okay? Let me just. Bathroom.
no subject
Go right ahead, pal.
[wait bathroom why is he going to the bathroom]
...Is this gonna get weird, though? Like, are you gonna film yourself taking a shit or something?
no subject
...yes. Yes, that's exactly what I'm doing.
[ Except no. He's heading for the mirror and holding his tablet up to it so Axton can see what he sees on the feed. Presumably.
GENIUS!! ]
@fastoon; voice
I've got a bottle of whiskey scavenged from one of the houses....a small one, mind you. [Still, talk about lucky.] Half of it is yours for the shirt and one of the mugs.
[Hair gel would best go to someone with hair instead of fur.]
no subject
You, sir, have got yourself a deal! Now we just need to pick a location to meet up and trade. Any preferences?
no subject
It's a rough but accurate sketch of the area around the school, every building labeled accordingly — "school", "shed", "house" with a number to indicate what order he found them in. There's also scale and uniform measures of distance scribbled in. While it's been years since he's built anything, the same architecture skills are coming in handy.]
I'm in this area. Does any of it ring a bell?
@sans; video
[Says the completely bald talking skeleton. He pulls out a blue comb and starts running it over his skull as if he has hair... which he does not.]
throw in a can of hairspray and it's a deal.
