APRIL TEST DRIVE MEME

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!

>CC: Observe slightly too enthusiastic new person.

'Slitting a baby's throat'? He can't be serious. Can he? Truly?

A FAMILIAR dissipates due to your ARROWS.


U-um, really? I mean, these are the weaker types of Nightmare, that's true...

[personal profile] idiotmobile 2016-04-13 05:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Sure, kid.

>SS: Dispatch FAMILIARS

It's kind of great how easily these things just fall down when you hit them. It's just like dispatching the weaker creatures back home. No real challenge to it, but kind of a stress reliever at the moment.


There's bigger ones of these? Where are they at?

Because this is getting boring.
cyclicalconcept: (♐ but it's...not really awesome?)

[personal profile] cyclicalconcept 2016-04-13 05:12 pm (UTC)(link)
They don't come often. Maybe once a month. They don't just appear like normal Nightmares.





>CC: Try to distance yourself from this person for your own safety.

You take a tiny step back. Teeny tiny. Teeny weeny itsy bitsy. You won't want to seem rude. Because that would be...well. It would be rude.

Plus, they are new, so shouldn't you explain things?


Has anyone told you about this place, outside of what Kyuubey might have said?
idiotmobile: (This is bullshit)

[personal profile] idiotmobile 2016-04-13 05:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Gotta have a place they're hiding then.

The big blubbering pansies. You can't respect a man, or a semi-solidified concept you guess, that just sits back and doesn't get their own hands dirty.

The hell is this kid doing with these tiny little ballerina steps. She getting ready to dance or what? If she's going to back off, she should back off as obviously as possible. Shows she has respect, and fear, for who Slick is, not these baby bullcrap.


Heard you're all running around like chickens with your heads cut off. Sounds like you could use actual leadership in this hole.
cyclicalconcept: (♐ this is your awesome despair)

[personal profile] cyclicalconcept 2016-04-13 05:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Leadership isn't really the problem. We do know who to turn to when a big battle happens.

Someone has to defend Garviel, after all. At least, that's who she acknowledges as the leader, with Diarmuid as co-leader and backup. They have the most battle experience of all of them.

(She downplays her own potential and shown leadership abilities, whatever they might be. She's just herself, after all.)


These creatures...they manifest from people's hearts and thoughts. They can alter reality around them, especially the strong ones. They can manipulate the thoughts and feelings of everyone they come into contact with. And we can't leave the city, either.
idiotmobile: (Default)

[personal profile] idiotmobile 2016-04-13 05:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah? Who are they?

Now you're pissed. The little guy told you there weren't any leaders. There's a chance he was playing you like a fool, so now there's a chance you'll be playing his guts like a guitar the next time you see him.

You don't care about what these things are. They die easy enough, and that's all you need to know. That intel on the city though...


What do you mean we can't leave? They got people guarding the ways out?
cyclicalconcept: (♐ AWESOME Nightmare!)

[personal profile] cyclicalconcept 2016-04-13 05:53 pm (UTC)(link)
...Garviel Loken and Diarmuid Ua Duibhne.

Its not that people are guarding it. There's a barrier that prevents us from leaving. There doesn't seem to be a way to figure out how to bring it down, right now, either.
idiotmobile: (Fuckin' clocks)

[personal profile] idiotmobile 2016-04-13 06:01 pm (UTC)(link)
>>SS: Be amazed by those dumb names

You are sufficiently amazed at how dumb those names are. You doubt they'll be that hard to take down a notch when you show everyone how this city is now your city.


Gotta be something keeping the barrier up, kid. Simple as finding who or what that is and breaking it.
cyclicalconcept: (♐ take my awesome hand!)

[personal profile] cyclicalconcept 2016-04-14 01:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course there is, but we've looked through the city. Nothing's come up to reveal who or what might be responsible.
