Network Prompts
ONE: BUMP IN THE NIGHT It's dark out, and congratulations - you're inside! What's not inside, you might ask? Monsters. Shadowy monsters that have surrounded whatever house you've taken shelter in. They can't get in... or can they? From time to time, the doors and the walls creak as if under an unbearable pressure.
Who can sleep when it's like this? Maybe you should take to the network to find a distraction. Or maybe someone has advice for getting rid of those things.
TWO: BRING OUT YOUR DEAD We mourn the loss of those who have died in the time between the last announcement and this one:
...is that your name on that list? It might be. Maybe you should let the others know you're not actually dead. Or, you know, if you happen to spot the name of someone you know and love on there, it might be time to ask around and see if anyone knows what happened to your dearly departed...
Action Prompts
THREE: KYRIE ELEISON You've found yourself in a small chapel, complete with bolted-down pews, an altar devoid of symbols, and stained glass windows depicting various saints. It's quiet... one might even say dead quiet. Which is a really awful pun to be making, considering if you follow the stairs down to the basement you'll find a morgue.
Explore to your heart's content, but you'll be forced out at 7 PM. Hopefully you don't find any unfortunately familiar faces among the dead.
FOUR: LIGHTS OUT Against all odds, you've managed to make it to shelter for the night. You pull the door shut behind you and turn to look at your surroundings - and that's when you see it. A ... person. Is it a person? It's hard to tell, because a moment later, you're plunged into darkness.
...better hope that's another unfortunate visitor to Norfinbury you've been locked in with, and not something more threatening.
do you mean my explanation was confusing? (my explanation as to why i called the anomalies 'questions', that is) or are you referring to something i said earlier?? now im the one with all the questions ;P
[ ...Should she have specified that 'questions' didn't mean 'monsters' in that last sentence? Jeez! ]
[ a new voice on the network! how exciting! except he doesn't sound excited. don't take it too hard; he never does. actually, he doesn't sound panicked or distressed, either. it's more steady and confident, but with an extremely obvious hint of irritation.
which is all pretty impressive, considering he's dead. ]
Not dead.
[ or not. ]
Whatever dumbshit put that list together made a mistake. I'm guessing they made more than one. Any other "dead" people out there?
THREE:
[ oh boy, a chapel. the last time he was in one of these, shit got real. maybe this time things will be a little more... chill. pun not in any way intended. he's not really the religious type, so rather than sitting at one of the pews and praying to a god that clearly does not exist because it's too fucking cold, he's just going to check out what's in the basement. when your options are explore or sit around on your ass, he'll usually go for the former.
...and sometimes, he'll regret that decision. because a lot more often than he'd like, what he ends up finding is dead people. at least these have been properly... uh. stored. still unsettling, and suddenly he's not quite as confident that the other names on that list survived after all.
Well, that's cheerful, not to mention a good welcome.
[ It's really the icing on a disheartening cake, hence the message that comes up from jwilson. The last time he looked, he wasn't dead, but it's right there in front of him, plain as day. ]
I'd ask if this is someone's idea of a bad joke, but it's not April, so the time for bad jokes hasn't come around yet.
But whether or not this is a joke made in poor taste, what are we supposed to do with this information?
Action; Lights Out
At any other time, Wilson would have marveled over how loud one's breath could sound when in a dark, enclosed space, and with no way to brighten up said space. To make matters worse, he wasn't the only one in there, since it was easy enough to tell that the sounds weren't coming solely from him.
He wasn't one to panic, but even so, he had to work hard to keep his voice level. Nothing about this was familiar or normal; in fact, it was so far removed from what Wilson was used to that he found himself feeling considerably at a loss for what to do. But why clue in whoever was in there that the environment was beginning to get to him just a little? Of course, that didn't keep a slight waver from creeping in when he finally spoke up.
"Who's there?" It wasn't the most original question to ask, but originality wasn't very high up on Wilson's list of priorities right then. "I can hear someone else moving around in here. Who are you?"
everybody dies some more often than others don't worry, you get used to it also, you really couldn't come up with anything better than "jwilson" what about "oncallaguy"? "surecansir"? "jwilly"?
ohh ok :o how to explain this... for starters 'set dressing' refers to props and such that are part of a scene of a play they help establish the setting! you would be able to tell a scene takes place in a kitchen if there was a stove on the set (just for example)
(a separate train of thought begins here) this town we are trapped in is scary a lot of scary stories include monsters in some subgenres they are essential!
[ She's thinking of survival horror games, in particular. ]
the background and motivation of a monster is usually not important to a scary story they are simply there to frighten! in a non-literal way they might be considered..... .... ... set dressing!!
oh boy... a play is like a story that you watch people pretend to be the characters and act it out theyre usually performed on a big wooden platform called a stage that is decorated according to what is going on in the play props are things that are placed on the stage for the characters to interact with like they do in the story scenes are the different events that happen in the play
i appologize for him ^^; and that i haven't done so sooner
that is another method of conveying information, yes sometimes plays are recorded on video! but this was not possible until fairly recently at least where i come from
*That makes sense, he thinks. If they can't show videos of things people would have to describe it...maybe acting things out would be easier. Certainly less talking (hopegully).*
are you mocking the great tradition of my family as horse-owning rum-runners? harsh, wilson words hurt, you know?
not as clever, but also not as dead as ADMIN thought you were, apparently no fatal monster attacks you remember? people sometimes turn into amnesiacs after getting offed quick name every nurse in the oncology ward and not just the cute ones
[ Before anything else, Jane picks up her backpack again, all too happy to let Garrett take point. She's used to assuming buildings won't always be structurally sound, and it's been a long time since "better them than me" weighed very heavily on her conscience.
A few steps in, she comes to a stop behind a sofa, slowly illuminating the rest of the living room. There is a nightstand and a dresser shoved in a corner, stuff that would look a lot more at home up in the bedroom. At the sound of his voice, Jane turns her head to throw an scrutinizing glance in the direction it comes from. ]
You willing to bet your life on that? [ She tests her weight against the sofa and it budges away from her with a muffled scrape. She'd prefer something heavier, but it'll have to do. The light of her tablet casts towards the ceiling when she sets her tablet down, and wobbles as she works on shoving the sofa across the room. This is happening with or without him. ]
If that wasn't you rearranging the furniture, then other people have been in here. They could've used this place to stash their stuff. [ Finders keepers, losers weepers. ]
[ It might not be the most flattering pick-up of the sound of her laughing, considering she starts out very close to the microphone because she leaned in in confusion, but that is unmistakably a laugh. Well, a chuckle.
The roof? I hope not. I guess I can check the attic. If this place has one. I might have missed that if you hadn't mentioned it. I've been told to just run though. If they get in while we're locked here overnight...
We'd figure something if we had to. But I'm glad you're okay, at least.
