Test Drive Meme

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! 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!

Well spoken, how... absurd and charming. [she bows her head to him all the same, respectful. She was adjusted to much more grotesque creatures than this bird, which was more of a bizarre curiosity than a repulsive beast.]

Your support was well placed, I thank you. [her abilities were tuned for aggression, but she wish not to overuse her Quickening on such a weak enemy. Her gem should remain pristine, she would not lose track of herself again.]

[salutations]

Your praise is like water after a drought, mon amie. [Humans, on-on-one, weren't very odd. Nothing for Yuuya to be unsettled by. It doesn't even dawn on him that he might be an odd occurrence.]

Anyways, [dropping he lighter tone used for his adulation] that one seemed fairly weak, all things considered. Hopefully, by pruning them down early, we won't end up with anything excessively dangerous.

[Maria should probably be more off put by the 4 foot tall pigeon flirting with her, but she doesn't even notice. The flirting part. Not the pigeon part, she's a head of that.]

If we remain diligent in our cause, the spread should not overwhelm us. [She'd offer to shake a hand, but that's not how feathers work. That would be ridiculous.]

I am Maria, of the Hunter's Workshop. Do beings such as you have given names?

[salutations]

[Don't question the world of Hatoful Boyfriend, where pigeon wings are capable of holding hands, linking arms, and wielding semi-automatic weaponry.]

Indeed we do. [he lets the casual birdist microaggression slide like water off a duck's back (which, ironically, is also a casual birdist microaggresion)] My name is Yuuya Sakazaki. Given name, family name, although you're welcome to call me what you like, Maria.

[you couldn't call Maria's culture PC, by any stretch. They used to name the Old Ones all sorts of rude things. Maria assumes that asking if the creature has a name is more respectful than just deciding to call it something, like the Church preferred to do.]

Is Sir Yuuya pleasing? [flirtatious as the last word may be, her tone considers it a matter of respect and dignity. She wouldn't flirt with a man, let alone a bird]

[salutations]

[sadly, he is too weak a pigeon to not take such an obvious bait.] I certainly hope I am. [wink☆]

... but, as for the name, yes, that's more than fine, mon amie. It sounds quite noble, even dashing.
