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!

lord have mercy, this town sure as hell needs it

[ A little girl in a red hood was cheerfully skipping out of place in the Nightmarescape, humming to herself before her ears picked up the sound of something clattering towards her, along with a shrill scream. She's almost bowled over by the girl, followed by the familiars.

Seriously? What were those weapons for? Well, whatever! The worse indignity here was being ignored by those damn familiars anyway. Right from where she's standing, she whistles loudly, trying to get the attention of those creatures before fastballing three apples right at their goddamn heads, having them explode right on contact. ]

Is that any way to treat a young lady?!

you edited your comment over a header...

[inhighdemand]

[ They were very beautiful fans with a very important purpose and that purpose was to be entirely useless in the hands of a dancer. Hiyoko skids to a stop at Bonnie's whistle, casting a glance over her shoulder just in time to see EXPLODING APPLES.

And the familiars too, I guess. ]

D-Did you do that?!

[ THAT WAS SO COOL. ]

listen. listen. i'm not saying anything that's not true.

[dokkans]

[ Of course, that worked. With a smile, the hunter skips right over to make sure they were dead. Oh, but she's being addressed! ]

Mm-hmm! Are you alright? That looked scary.

[ Two of them fade into dust, while one tries to pull itself together. Holding her arm to the side to summon her weapon, she stops before-- ]

Would you care to do the honors? Those look pretty sharp.

[inhighdemand]

I-I'm fine! I was gonna get them!

[ Don't diss her skills, Bonnie! She totally had a plan... Which is why she's practically tripping over her feet towards the hunter. ]

Me? [ This is her chance to prove herself! Her chance to show everyone that she wasn't completely useless! Her chance to, uh, run over and unceremoniously beat the familiar to dust with one of her fans. ]

Die! You stupid piece of shit monster! Worthless waste of space!

[dokkans]

[ Yuh-huh. Bonnie keeps her opinion to herself, knowing full well that this poor little egg girl was about to be cracked killed. How lucky that she came by when she did, this poor little girl would be finished!

It didn't look like she really knew how to use her weapon either, which made things even better. Still, B.B. stood idly by, gazing upon Hiyoko's work before clapping her hands together. ]

Good! You have the right attitude, dearie. ♪ But, if you would've hesitated any more, you would've ended up a familiar's lunch!

[ The tone in her voice indicated that she didn't really care if she did or not. Twirling, she threw a fist into the air. ]

It's just your luck that you came across me! I could use a little help seeking out this place's big boss.
