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!

Quack, quack, quack~ [She sing-songs a little] What about you? [What did you wish for?]

[ Well at least this sudden mood shift made it easier for her to talk about things that were otherwise really uncomfortable for her.]

I...well I wished to escape. The bad place I was in. Some people were gonna hurt me, maybe in a way I couldn't come back from.

[She sighed leaning against the wall still somewhat fascinated with Rika's skill despite her size and apparent age. No kids she knew could make tampura.]

I should have thought bigger...wished to save everyone. But I was selfish I guess. Scared.

Its okay to be scared! Its not selfish, its survival! [she finished making the tempura and turned off the heat, now carefully taking all the items she prepared to the table.]

Do you know how to use chopsticks? [she realized that she may not have had the cutlery Sandy was used to.]

[ Sandy nodded and followed Rika back to the table.]

Sometimes when my mom got paid she'd buy us Chinese food. She had me practice with popcorn till I got it.

[ And oh gosh it looks good. Maybe it's because of her obsession with food, or maybe it's because she's growing so fond of Rika so fast but it looks really great to Sandy.]

You're kind of amazing, I hope you know that. If not I'll just have to keep telling you.

Miiii [She smiled up at Sandy with that]

I never tried to eat popcorn with chopsticks before. [she went and got the spoons for the miso and chopsticks for everything else and set it on the table sitting down.]

[ Taking her seat Sandy began to think back to the words. It had been an act of desperation, of survival. Once again she'd followed her instincts to outrun everyone else and let deal with the "Bear" that was threatening them. Thankfully the food kept her from looking too somber.]

You gotta let me at least do the dishes to make up for this. At least till I can bake for you.

But then we won't have time to focus on the game. I can handle it, but I will wait happily for some sweets.

Alright alright...we'll have plenty of nights to play games and have more yummy food. Because we're totally friends now.

[ Taking the chopsticks she waited politely for Rika to start before she did, wanting to make sure she was doing things the right way since her knowledge of manners was based mostly on Panem.]

Thank you for all this!

[Rika chimed in with her own 'Thank you for the food' before she started to eat.] The start of the Nyoi-cho Branch of the Game Club!

[ Oh good, now she can dig in...well first.]

I nominate you as club president!

[ OK NOW she can eat and she makes a noise of delight at the taste.]

This is great! You're really talented!

Thank you very much. [To Rika, its...just her own cooking] Food is best enjoyed with friends.
