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!

I guess you're right, miss. The thing is... ooh, can I tell you a secret?

[ She'll do it anyway. That smile turns into a little bit of a smirk. ]

I don't mind fighting anyone here. But, I don't fight for free, is the thing. I especially wouldn't fight just because a demon told me to. That goes against everything I stand for, you know. Only beasts start battles just because.

Sad. I don't think demons will understand humans either.

Of course I'm right, I'm always right. You'll learn that sooner or later.

[ Does she want to? No, not really, but it seems like the other girl is going to anyway. What a chore.

Except, she didn't expect that. It has Etna a little on the defense, eyeing the other girl closely now. ]

...You seem to be a very... opinionated girl. Just who are you anyway?

[ Wow, how insufferable. She's got a certain top-heavy succubus's arrogance in the other one's body.

With a pep in her voice, she beams happily and proclaims. ]

B.B. Hood! Special S-Class Darkhunter. I've met quite a lot of demons, juuuust liiiiiike you. Bet you can't guess what I used to do with them~!

[ It's clear. ]

But, lucky you! I'm out of the business right now. Plus, I don't recognize you, so I don't think your head's worth anything anyway.

[ You can't trust topheavy girls though. You never know what they are hiding in there! Take a look at Rozalin in her other thread for example. Super untrustworthy.

But this cute girl act is really wearing thin of Etna, who's moved to cross her arms over her chest, clearly unimpressed. ]

...Darkhunter?

[ Oh. ....Oh. That. Is problematic. Etna's eyes narrow dangerously, one of her hands hidden balling into a fist. If she's going to have to fight when she's level 1, this is going to be trouble.

And then she says the thing that Etna can't stand to hear. ]

What?! I'm the Future Overlord of the Netherworld, Beauty Queen Etna! My name is known in a hundred different worlds! Kids pee the bed when they hear my name! Clearly you just have had your head under a rock or something!!

Oh? Really?

[ That's okay, because she's willing to drop the cute act for a more natural one, a more wild grin crossing her face. ]

See, I might not know much about your Netherworld or whatever, but anyone who's anyone passes by Makai at least once, and "Beauty Queen Etna"'s not a name I recognize. Must be a pretty small world if you're queen of anything.

Aw, what's that? [ Bonnie gets a good glimpse right at her face, a sharp glint in her eye. ] Were you still wanting a fight? Even though there's nothing on the line, I've been itching to pump something full of bullets.

[ Does Etna look unimpressed? Because she's unimpressed. This is kinda how things always go where she's from. ]

Makai? Sounds like a great place, maybe I'll come visit someday. [ She's waving her hand a little, but definitely keeping an eye on this "girl." ]

Who said I wanted to fight? That's a pain, I just want something to fight for me to watch so I can be entertained. Besides, I don't bother with smallfry. I have people to do that for me. [ ...Does she have Prinnies here though!? ]

[ Why are people so rude to her like this? She just wants to flaunt her status and title. ]

Oh, please do. They have monsters twice and three times your size there!

[ In more ways than one. Let's just say, she won't mind teaming up if Morrigan ever shows her face around here. ]

Eh? My! You don't even want to get your hands dirty?! Are you that weak? Goodness gracious, maybe I should be on my way after all.

[ That's exactly what Etna wants to do!! ]

So what, you think I'm afraid of some monsters? Do you know how many times I've gone to the same area just to grind on the biggest monster I could find?

[ Etna, please leave the fourth wall alone.... ]

Who are you calling weak? You'd probably die from a simple little stab with my spear. You're not even worth my time as a demon to bother fighting.

Ohooo. Really.

[ Bonnie looks a little happy at that comment. At least, if that manic grin is any indication, she's ecstatic. She doesn't know what the heck she's talking about... grinding monsters, what now? But more importantly.

It'd be so fun to throw that arrogant tone right back into her face and through this demon's neck, but! ]

It's such a shame. I'm being a good girl, you know! If I kill worthless demons like you, I'd be out a lot of money and magic here.

[ This girl is a creep. But like a certain weirdo in spandex Etna can feel her danger senses tingling. The problem is just that she doesn't know why. It's not like she's not used to fighting. ...She probably just hates being back to level one. ]

Just try me and see what happens, little girl. I'll show you why the entire Netherworld fears the Demon Lord Etna.

[ She's taking up a fighting position, about to summon her spear if she has to.... but this really isn't the place to be fighting. Not that a demon like Etna cares. ]
