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.]

[pauses when he asks, then pats their pocket]

You know, I just might.

Re: 1

[jarredforlife]

Really?

[a cigarette case appears! or, well, they take it out of their coat pocket]

Is there something wrong with that? You did ask.

[jarredforlife]

Given the response until now I wasn't sure I'd actually meet someone who had any on them . . .

[offscript]

I guess it's hard to find someone who wants to take their life in their hands like that.

[opening the case and offering]

[jarredforlife]

[also I forgot since Thais is a demon they can see a lot of like, magic circles and sigils and things all over Barakiel's body except his face, it's visible over his shirt collar and on his arms because his sleeves are rolled up. :V]

[anyway he is reaching out to take one 'w']

I won't bite the hand that gives me a smoke.

[offscript]

An honorable gentleman.

[jarredforlife]

Isn't that just common courtesy?

[offscript]

Courtesy isn't always that common.

[jarredforlife]

[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.
