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!

I simply try my best, that's all.

[the fact that she seems to have walked herself right into some sort of sparring episode really doesn't phase Joanne - and why would it, after she'd turned her own home into a fiery prison? but a thought does occur to her that has little to do with herself.]

Although I do hope you aren't intending for it to happen here.

[there's a lot of people. and produce.]

[greyerrant]

I think you misunderstand. I will fight by your side, not against you. As a proper warrior should, when facing the foes that we do.

[ He looks a little upset at the suggestion, actually. ]

[atruelady]

Oh!

[it's a testament to how few friends and allies she's had for most of her life that she assumed an offer like that was a (benign, but still) request to come to blows. her cheeks dust with pink, but she otherwise maintains her composure.]

That's even better. People can only accomplish half as much alone as they can with those they trust.

[greyerrant]

I used to lead armies, I know. [ He smiles, remembering the days when he led the 10th company against the foes of the Imperium. ]

But here, i'm just Garvi. But I'm very willing to help anyone, and fight alongside those who would protect humanity.

[atruelady]

It's a noble cause to champion. [not just protecting humanity against the supernatural things which plague it, but being willing to help those who need it.] I'm certain we'll come out the victor so long as we fight with all we have.

[greyerrant]

Just so. Anyway, I was headed in there to buy some cheese. Were you done shopping, then?

[atruelady]

I haven't even started, to be perfectly honest.

[she'd gotten too caught up in the door shenanigans...]

[greyerrant]

It would strike me then that the first way we can work together is by shopping together. What are you in need of today, mamzel?
