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!

Ah! Who's this young lady?

It seems that from a distance, she has mistaken me for a normal individual. Possibly even someone like herself, come from another world to be a fighter here.

Well, she's partly right. But did she know I have a cueball for a head?

No matter. That little misunderstanding is quickly cleared up as I turn to greet her. As always, I try to lay all my cards out on the table in the first hand. Except the ones up my sleeve.

I won't greet her verbally, as I have no mouth. But I will give a shrug at her question.

After all, who knows what normal is around here, anyway?
cyan_maid: Jane is neutral or unsure (Um...)

I am so sorry I just got to my tags now

[She, in fact, only noticed the cue ball when she got closer, just as she finished her question. It makes her pause for a moment, tilting her head in mild confusion, before she decides to continue on with her inquiry. After all, the locals all looked normal. If you're here and you don't look normal, you must be an outsider. Deductive reasoning and basic assumptions and all that - it's the groundwork for getting your bearings. That Jane has learned.]

Ah...is that a shrug for minding if I ask questions, or if skirting issues is the norm?

She's an inquisitive one. Reminds me of another girl about her age. Several others, in fact.

My continued presence, albeit with folded arms as I wait for her next question, should be enough to answer her latest one. I have nothing to hide -- except for stuff, of course, which I would rather keep inside.

She may pose her next question when she likes. I'll be ready.
cyan_maid: (What am I looking at here)

[personal profile] cyan_maid 2016-04-14 08:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[The ball-headed man's indifference is, in fact, not very revealing. But at least he's not dismissing her outright, so...might as well try something else?]

Okay...well...is there some sort of grouping going on for those of us who've, um, made one of these "contracts"? Somewhere we can plan what to do and how to help each other?

Ah, now this is something I can help with. As a host, I always try to be courteous of my guests' needs.

Nevertheless, I'm new here myself. But I know where the housing is. Perhaps this young one hasn't yet found it.

No matter. I'll start off walking in that direction. She's welcome to follow.
cyan_maid: (Eerm)

[personal profile] cyan_maid 2016-04-15 05:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[...

Well, uh...she'll follow, then, though to what she's not sure. It's mostly out of curiosity, because this guy can't talk, but he can clearly listen and understand her...what sort of contract business was that weird little cat thing running anyway?]
