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!

[So it is truly only others who can change this man's fate? The concept is a very strange one to Wamuu who has lived his whole life being the author of his own story. He would never be able to trust others to do his fighting for him. Besides, it is not their place to fight for him. He is the only one who should fight his battles.

Wamuu scowls, suddenly feeling that he does not know nearly enough about this man to try and discuss these kinds of things with him. He hates it when people do not give him all the important information about a topic they are talking about. It's time to ask some questions of his own.]


Who are you that you cannot control your own fate and that you hold the power to restart the universe in your hands? Why has such a great responsibility been handed to you?

My most common name is chaos. [He pauses, considering the questions. Really, is there any reason not to lay it all out in the open?]

I am the embodiment of Anima - the collective desire of the lower universe for destruction. I exist to protect the higher realm from the lower, and I was given that purpose by the creator of both - a being you might know as God. I never questioned my purpose, until I met a man who taught me that life has much greater potential than I had ever dreamed possible. He, his followers, and I traveled together for some time, before he was taken and crucified. Even then, I could feel the stirrings of my power awakening - but I chose to suppress it, to divorce myself from it with the help of one of his disciples. To give people the chance to save themselves. Thereafter, I wandered among them, seeing the best and worst of what they could be. Helping those I could, without taking a direct role in events... because I couldn't.

[Wamuu's scowl deepens when he hears the answers to his questions. chaos? How can he be chaos when it is a thing not a person? And what is all this talk of lower and upper realms? Is it anything like the humans who lived in the sunlight and his people who were forced to live in the underground? Humanity was young when Wamuu's people were at their peak, though, and they had no interest in overthrowing a race so young and helpless. Instead, his people were more focused on keeping their numbers strong and finding ways to remove their weaknesses.]

There are no gods. Merely very powerful beings who always have some weakness that leads to their destruction.

[Master Kars had records their people kept of hundreds, if not thousands, of beings who called themselves gods over the years. All of them were long dead and gone by the time Wamuu was old enough to understand what he was reading. The old gods pass away; new gods take their place. It is one of the never-ending cycles of his world.

Something that seems very different than what happens on chaos' own.]


You felt your power awakening once and restrained it. What if you grow strong enough to restrain it forever? Would that not be rewriting your path?

[chaos shrugs at Wamuu's insistence that God doesn't exist. That's not the important thing here, anyway.]

That was a long, long time ago, and I had help. Now, it's all I can do to slow it down - it has a kind of inertia, gathering inevitability as time goes on. If I can gain that kind of strength here, then so be it - but where I came from, it was impossible.

I still do not acknowledge that anything is impossible.

[Wamuu's arms settle loosely over his chest..]

However, if being here is what you need to find the belief in your ability to change, then it is good you are here.
