So, it's Groundhog Day. You check in with a rodent to see how much longer winter is going to last, hang out with friends, have a few beers, watch a movie, call it a night.

So, it's Groundhog Day...

Prompts
1. FIRST LOOP! Oh shit, this is your first time repeating everything. What do you do? Assume you're insane? Wonder if you're psychic? Go for help? Curl up in a corner crying? Your choice.

2. IT'S ALL ROUTINE NOW. Well, you've been around the block a few dozen times now. There are no surprises left. In ten seconds, that guy is going to trip over that cord. See? Called it. Sigh.

3. DO ANYTHING. Holy shit! There are no consequences anymore! You can literally do anything you want, and all the consequences will be erased within 24 hours. What do you do? Random sex? Shopping spree? Borrow a million dollars from the bank?

4. FUCK EVERYONE. Yeah, this is getting old. Living without consequences was fun for a while, but now you're ready to move on. Maybe it'll help you to cause a little mayhem. It's not like they'll remember tomorrow, anyway, is it? And misery does love company...

5. A LITTLE STIR-CRAZY. A bit like a do anything day, except now you're just going insane. Do out-of-character shit, anything to shake it up and relieve the tension.

6. GIVE UP. Maybe the only way out of this loop thing is to kill yourself inventively. Who knows?

7. LEARN SOMETHING FOR THE HELL OF IT. Might as well make use of your time, right? Maybe you should learn to play an instrument or paint a mural. You have all the time in the world to practice, after all.

8. TRY A LITTLE TENDERNESS. Instead of screwing everyone over, maybe it's time to use your knowledge to make everyone else's day a little better. Someone should be happy, right?

9. LAST LOOP. Whatever it is you needed to learn, do, or accomplish, this is the one where you finish it. This is the day that counts. Don't screw it up.

10. THE DAY AFTER. Is that... is it tomorrow?! HALLELUJAH! Now time to start dealing with consequences again. Right after you finish dancing on that calender.

11. WILD CARD. Make up your own day or pick one of the other ten suggestions.

[They might make each other's loop a hell, or... try to... cooperate... begrudgingly... heh /ooc]

[ooc: Prefer shippy type prompts, please!]

[ooc: prefer the shippier side of things.]

OOC: Care for a Lydia? Either trapped in the loops (she might go for learn something new) or a S1ish Groundhog Day with him trying to convince her to go out with him?

[ Will had foolishly tried to mark the days on his own skin after the first week. He'd had the notion that since he couldn't affect the world, but his own memories carried over, that maybe he could keep this with him into the next day.

It hadn't worked. But it turned out he didn't need it to. Will knows it's been twenty-four days, couldn't forget the number if he tried. It's imprinted in him, beats with his heart as he tries yet another path past the familiar store fronts in a nicer section of Chicago. Familiar not because Will lives around here — he doesn't, he'd traveled for work — but because that's where his hotel room had been. A month has been plenty of time to feel the rhythm of this city.

Which is why, as his mental health crackles and sparks at the edges, he notices the only other variable thing here.

Will has a gun that he usually keeps back in his hotel room. He's brought it today; FBI-issued glock, heavy despite being a handgun. But he leaves it in his holster as he reaches out a hand and grabs the wrist of your character. Sharp, jagged movements, too much terrified anger behind them to consider it a controlled thing. Will's stare is desperate right beneath the shine of his anger, teeth showing. ]

Who are you? You're the only other person who— you're the only one who changes every day. Are you, are you stuck here too? Do you know what's happening? [ That anger is dissolving rapidly into a desperate plea for help. Sorry, stranger...especially if he's wrong.

Will's not having a great Groundhog Day(s) this year. ]

{ooc; feel free to have your character be a 'wrong' pick and not know what he's talking about, or be also stuck, the REASON Will is stuck, anything you'd like! I will also roll w other starters; interested in prompts 3, 5, 6, 8, and 9. no ship, no Hannibals.}

[So how long will this go on before he completely snaps and does something crazy? Let's face it, with his temper, not long at all...]

[He'll likely believed he's pissed off one of the gods to have gotten stuck in this loop. Bonus points if it's one of the most important days of his life i.e. he kills someone he loves or someone he loves dies or abandons him. (There is a sad pattern in his life here.)]

[He'll likely be using the day to try and rig it to get the best possible outcome no matter what day it is. This goes double if he has his son with him.]
