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!

Unseen, a gloved finger moves to switch to the voice function, ending the video feed.]
Nothing important. Just technology being damned inconvenient.
[Gruff tones, a deep voice, something in the even cadence of each word speaking of military stature. He's older than 20-something, to be sure.]
Like these tablets. Do they act up like this often?
ugh!!!
Um—no, not that I know of. So you didn't mean to make a video? [the military in his voice registers, and, remembering to be a good knight, she adds on instinct:] ...Sir.
no subject
Not at all. When you look the way I do, there's good reason to avoid that particular function.
[She's already seen him. Might as well come out as say that much, pointing out what he thinks is the War Grok in the room a step ahead of the predicted question.]
audio --> video
So you've noticed how... human everyone here looks. Or close to it. ...There are plenty of other good reasons to not use the video—plenty of them avoid it, too—but... well.
[there are videos of her floating around in the archives already, so she only feels a little hesitant. She quickly runs her claws through her hair and the fur on her face, to look more presentable, then turns on the video. She gives the camera a grim smile, hoping that it's turned the right way around and not pointed at the wall or something.]
...I can personally appreciate your reason.
voice; 1/2
To be sure, what he feels is surprise, but also curiosity. Her features are both comforting and unfamiliar, because he still can't pin down her species. Nothing beyond something rodentia-based, at a guess. She's certainly not a felid with that nose and those ears.
A beat, then Alister ends the feed altogether.]
video; private
I can see how.
[A small.....almost smile, some trace of good humor.]
You're familiar with these "humans", then?
no subject
I am, sir. There are a lot of them, where I'm from.
[her smile fades to a look of puzzlement as his implications sink in.]
...Are you unfamiliar with them, then?
no subject
[Although he doesn't say that with any malice or disgust. In his universe, constant contact with various species is the norm. Different never automatically meant inferior. Humans have just somehow managed to fall right outside the vast sphere of what is familiar to him.]
You're from a deep space metropolis, then? Maybe a military outpost?
