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.]

[lighting the cigarette with a snap of his fingers; the snap makes a spark]

The cynical type, huh.

[offscript]

Realistic. We're all out for ourselves.

[jarredforlife]

Is this your way of saying I need to repay you for the cigarette . . .

[offscript]

Not at all. I have plenty to spare.

[jarredforlife]

Just as well. I can't mug anyone until it gets dark.

[offscript]

Oh? Was that the plan?

[jarredforlife]

I need to get cash somehow . . .

[offscript]

So you don't always want to depend on strangers for your cigarettes?

[jarredforlife]

It's pretty unreliable, as methods of obtaining cigarettes go.

[offscript]

Especially these days. People don't smoke like they used to.

[jarredforlife]

Depends where you go . . . I just happened to have bad luck this time. Except for you, of course.

[offscript]

Except for me, of course.

[jarredforlife]

[puff puff]

Lucky me.

[offscript]

You might be.

[jarredforlife]

[points at the cigarette]

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

[offscript]

You could be luckier than that.

[jarredforlife]

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

[offscript]

And risk missing out?

[jarredforlife]

Am I missing out?

[offscript]

Not yet.

[jarredforlife]

I'll survive with what I have until "not yet" is over then.

[offscript]

So tell me...

What are you doing here?

[jarredforlife]

To be honest, I'm not entirely sure . . .

[offscript]

Oh? That's a puzzle.

[jarredforlife]

You don't know the half of it.
