Prompts

Arrival: So you've just arrived in Nyoi-Cho. Congratulations! You must be so excited about having your wish granted. Or maybe you're upset that the result wasn't quite what you expected? If that's the case, then that's too bad! There are no take backs and no redoes, so you're stuck with what you have! Maybe you should have been more careful about how you worded that wish...

Oh well. There's no use in dwelling on it. You're a magi now, and that means adjusting to a whole new lifestyle! Maybe one of the townspeople can help you out.

Only... they're acting a bit strangely, aren't they? They're all too happy to show you around, but there's something unsettling about the way they're behaving. Almost cheerfully dissonant. Any questions about the history of the town are met with blank stares and brief silence, before they plaster a smile onto their faces and change the subject. Any attempts to tell them about your duties as a magi or anything else that relates to the magical will get similar reactions.

Isn't there anyone normal here that you can talk to at all?

Home Improvement: The houses that the magi are given access to really are something, aren't they? There's almost no limit to what they can do! Why don't you create the house of your dreams, or maybe recreate and relive your favorite childhood scenes? Invite some spectators over to marvel!

A Corrupted Soul Gem: You neglected to take care of your soul gem, and now you don't feel quite yourself anymore. You feel like you're losing your sense of self - all you seem to be able to focus on is your old regrets and past failures. What's happening to you?

A Day in the Life: Everyday hero by day, magician by night! You've got a busy day ahead of you and no time to waste! Maybe it's school, or maybe it's work, maybe it's both! Being magical doesn't make you exempt from paying those shopping bills!

May Day: Uh-oh. This magical girl stuff looked easier on TV. You're in some serious trouble! Or maybe you see someone else who is! It's time to pull up your socks and show them what you have. Be the hero you've always wanted to be, or give in and be that damsel in distress. There's no shame in needing a little help now and then.

A Successful Mission: Congratulations! You met up with your first Nightmare, and you fought valiantly. You even mastered that tricky power of yours! As if in response to your masterful victory, you feel as though you've unlocked a new power. What sort of power did you get? Is it a useful one, or is it not so useful? Maybe you've mastered it beautifully, and now you're showing off to all of your friends. Maybe you're having a hard time keeping it under wraps, and now you're wreaking havoc across the town without meaning to!

A Dreadful Nightmare: You had an absolutely horrid day. As you drift off to sleep, your mind dwells on all the injustices you've had to endure. In response, your bed swallows you up, and your room shifts into a horrific Nightmarescape. What sort of Nightmare are you? What kind of Nightmarescape do you create? Hopefully your fellow magi can stop you before you cause too much damage!

Wildcard: Feel free to use any information from the FAQ or the World Info page to make your own prompt!

"Hi there."

A pink-haired girl stands next to his table, her own pile of books in hand.

"Do you mind if I sit here?"
ouiboo: (hesitant smile)

Even after he has sunken deep into his worries her voice manages to reach out. It feels like he's being pulled backwards quickly, back up the lonely path he had mentally wandered, and the next thing he knows he's blinking up at a girl from his seat at the table. Right. The library. How did he forget where he was for that long?

"Yes! I mean, you're welcome to," he says, and remembers again to smile. He gets to his feet and politely pulls the other chair out for her.

"Thank you." She smiles as she sits in the proffered chair. "Ah, are you studying for a test, too?"

He seems...out of it. Hmm.
ouiboo: (hesitant smile)

He takes his seat again next to her and glances at his books. It's hard to believe he had just forgotten what he was doing.

"Yeah. Studying for class- and some other subjects I wanted to brush up on." He forces a smile as he rubs the side of his head. Now that he was paying attention, his head seemed to be throbbing a bit. Could headaches lead to all that negativity though?
cyclicalconcept: (what is awesome?)

"...Are you ok?"

Don't think she doesn't notice that, Adrien. Oops.

"A headache?"
ouiboo: (hesitant smile)

[personal profile] ouiboo 2016-08-27 09:32 am (UTC)(link)
"A little one, yeah. I'll be okay." He claims but does she believe? "I don't usually get headaches- I'm sure it will go away soon."

Right because rarely having headaches means it's nothing.
cyclicalconcept: (I am awesome...ly confused)

[personal profile] cyclicalconcept 2016-08-27 05:45 pm (UTC)(link)
"...You don't usually get headaches?" That...sounds bad. It could be a sign of a bigger health problem. "When did this headache start?"
ouiboo: (hesitant smile)

[personal profile] ouiboo 2016-08-28 09:18 am (UTC)(link)
It's sweet of her to be so concerned.

"It just started really. I was studying here for a while and then my head started hurting and I zoned out. Maybe I need to take a break from all this reading." He taps the top of the large pile of books in front of him.

He catches sight of the ring he's worn since becoming an magica and it finally occurs to him that he could be experiencing this sudden wave of pessimism and headache for an unnatural reason. It certainly sounds strange when he recaps what happened.

"Just suddenly...and zoning out..." Madoka frowns. "You're a magi, right?"
ouiboo: (hesitant smile)

[personal profile] ouiboo 2016-08-30 10:50 am (UTC)(link)
He crosses his arms defensively and attempts not to let his surprise show on his face. He's so used to the need to hide his secret identity from civilians, it's a force of habit.

"You know what a magi is?" he realizes. Right. He's not in Paris anymore. Nobody in Nyoi-Cho ever seemed to comprehend what the magi were doing. "Oh!" He laughs. "Yes. No need to hide it is there? I'm new to all this."
cyclicalconcept: (this is just awkwardly awesome)

[personal profile] cyclicalconcept 2016-08-30 12:26 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yeah..." At this, she holds up her hand, revealing her ring. "No one here outside of other magi notice us. Its ok!"
ouiboo: (smile)

[personal profile] ouiboo 2016-08-31 07:44 am (UTC)(link)
"It makes our missions a little easier I guess. No one stops to ask questions or take photos." At home he's on the news regularly. He's getting off topic though. "Do magi get headaches like this sometimes?"
cyclicalconcept: (I am awesome...ly confused)

[personal profile] cyclicalconcept 2016-08-31 09:13 pm (UTC)(link)
"Sometimes," Madoka replies quietly. "If your Soul Gem is not well cleaned, it starts to corrupt."

...At this, she looks left, then right, then behind her. Ok. No other magi. She lowers her voice.

"May I see your Soul Gem? I...I might be able to help..."
ouiboo: (hesitant smile)

Adrien's gaze drops down. How could he forget the warnings he received when he first arrived about keeping his gem clean? He might have been too optimistic about how long he could go without. His face goes a little pink as he turns his palm up and concentrates. With a little spark his soul gem appears in his hand. He exhales and looks at Madoka bashfully; his gem still shines bright green in spots but there's an obvious dark stain curling around it.
cyclicalconcept: (my awesome ring)

[personal profile] cyclicalconcept 2016-09-01 01:02 pm (UTC)(link)
"...Ah. Hang on."

Instantly, Madoka's own Soul Gem appeared in a flash; its much, much brighter than Adrien's. For a moment, nothing happens; after that, however, Adrien might see the pull on the darkness in his Soul Gem. It floats towards the edge, before parts of it get sucked right out, traversing into Madoka's Gem and dimming it instead. Adrien's Soul Gem, meanwhile, looks just that much brighter.

"How do you feel now?"
