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!

No, but...surely we can talk to them, right?

[ms_perfection]

Yeah I guess we can at that. Okay, where to?

[cyclicalconcept]

....u-uh, I don't know, I haven't seen them since I made a wish...

[ms_perfection]

... are they fairies or ghosts? This is kind of getting suspiciously weird.

[cyclicalconcept]

I don't--I mean, they called themselves messengers of magic, so wouldn't that make them fairies?

[ms_perfection]

Magic doesn't usually equate fairies. The definition is super wide and broad.

I think these fairies might be having us on, but that's just me. They're around less than Dr. Strange when you need him.

[cyclicalconcept]

Maybe they're just traveling to other places to find other magi...I hope they're not as abrupt with others.

Dr. Strange?

[ms_perfection]

Maybe. I dunno, something bout this whole process rubs me the wrong way. Our world has bad experience with wishes.

[No one remembers One More Day after all.]

Yeah, the most powerful magic user in our universe. Really tough, and he's got like powers I can't even comprehend having.

[cyclicalconcept]

You really think so? So far, everything seems to be all right, for the most part, for everyone else.

[The strongest in the universe?]

Maybe he'll come here to help us out!

[ms_perfection]

Yeah its just that people who offer wishes and grant them? Usually aren't nice in my world.

[Re: One More Day. Otherwise known as Thanks Mephisto.]

Well maybe yeah. That wouldn't be outside of his own power scope.

[cyclicalconcept]

They seem nice enough...

[Still, Kamala's words make her think, judging by the look in her eyes.]

...

What's your name?

[ms_perfection]

[Yeah, she's really not too enthusiastic about all this rampant wish granting. Looking up she smiled a bit.]

Kamala Khan. And you?

[cyclicalconcept]

Madoka Kaname. I come from Mitakihara, Japan!

[That does make her smile, as well.]

Its nice to meet you!

[ms_perfection]

Haven't heard of Mitakihara before, but then again we might not have that city in my world.

Nice to meet you too.

[cyclicalconcept]

I guess if it...existed? In your world? You're probably know about it. Its actually a pretty big city!

[ms_perfection]

Yeah. Too bad I don't have wikipedia to check.

[cyclicalconcept]

We have a library! Its no Wikipedia but its got lots of information!

[ms_perfection]

[Kamala is about to complain about that when she realizes she really can't disappoint that face. So grinning weakly, she nodded.]

All right, library it is.

[cyclicalconcept]

[SMILES ALL AROUND]

Here! I'll show you the way!

[ms_perfection]

All right, sounds good. Lets go.

[cyclicalconcept]

Ok!

[And she walks, towards the library!]
