Prompt 1: Everyday Life

[A nondescript man pats down his pockets, frowns, and then heads your way with purpose.]

So . . . Don't suppose I could get a smoke off of you?

Prompt 2: I Can't Believe It's Not Thusia

[Your character has died! And then . . . woken up in some cold stone room full of weird shrines??? Plus some strange dude is sitting next to you, puffing lightly on a cigarette.]

Oh, you're awake? Then welcome back to the land of the living. Or to the land of the re-living. Still not sure how the terminology works there.

Prompt 3: You Make Up A Scenario

[You make up a scenario.]

If it's worked that long that's usually a pretty good sign that it is.

[wethrinaer]

I'm quite good at paying what I owe.

[dreamvour]

Usually. They get on fairly well, all things considered.

[offscript]

You might be.

[jarredforlife]

[points at the cigarette]

Well, I've got this to tide me over, so I'd say I am.

[jarredforlife]

I didn't say you'd try to shirk it, just that you're going to have one for a while.

[jarredforlife]

Really?

[wethrinaer]

No, no, that's what I meant—I won't have a tab for long.

[dreamvour]

Mm, really. Most of the gods get along. If they didn't, the world probably wouldn't exist.

[jarredforlife]

Oh, the confident type. Well, good luck.

[jarredforlife]

Hmm... Makes sense, makes sense.

[wethrinaer]

I'm not very fond of owing others. [he shrugs, all grins]

[dreamvour]

Mm. It helps that many of them are related.

[jarredforlife]

I think most people don't.

[jarredforlife]

So...keeping it all in the family...?

[dreamvour]

Something like that . . . ?

It's like . . . [she frowns for a moment, thoughtful] The Roman God Morpheus could be considered my uncle. And the Spider Woman, Asibikaashi, from Native American folklore could be considered a distant cousin. To put it in human terms.

Morpheus and I share a realm, so we're "related".

[wethrinaer]

True enough, true enough. But I'm a business man, or—I was. I'm used to it being the other way around.

[offscript]

You could be luckier than that.

[jarredforlife]

Is that so?

[visibly mulls it over for a moment]

Hmm . . .

[jarredforlife]

Well, this world still needs a lot of work . . . you might find some business for yourself yet.

[jarredforlife]

I'd rather take what I can get than dwell on something like that.

[offscript]

And risk missing out?

[wethrinaer]

[that makes him burst into laughter]

I've no doubts about that at all!

[dreamvour]

Hm?

[jarredforlife]

Am I missing out?
