MAY 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! As if in response to your masterful victory, you feel as though you've unlocked a new power. 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!

There was...an incident. The details are vague due to the urgency and the long span of time, but it was the result of research into a powerful artifact called the Zohar. It acts as a gateway to a source of infinite energy, however...it's highly dangerous and humanity, at the time, lacked the means to control it.

So, after it was discovered at some point during the twenty-first century AD, its power went out of control. Judging from the results of similar incidents in recent history, we can surmise that the planet underwent a spacial-temporal shift that drew the attention of the Gnosis. In that case, it would have been a horror movie, especially as those creatures were relatively unknown until the destruction of Michtam eighteen years ago, when the Federation's meddling caused the first Zohar incident solidly recorded in history. Some people speculate that even the planet itself underwent a shift and disappeared entirely, which has been known to happen in cases of the Zohar going out of control, but not always. There's a distinct possibility that it still exists out there somewhere...merely abandoned and overrun by hostile entities.

...I'm...I'm sure it's still out there.

[Sorry, that's a lot to take in.]
betrayalcutsdeep: (It's rather endearing.)

[He might get a little overly enthusiastic when he's given an excuse to ramble about history...sorry.]

As am I. Particularly since a landmass that once existed there has recently reappeared.

Actually...you might find this a bit silly, having lived there your entire life...but that planet was my wish.

You...you wished for Earth!?

[Aaaaaaah, she looks at you admiringly.]

That's am amazing wish!
betrayalcutsdeep: (Even I bear my scars.)

In a sense. My wish was to be able to rediscover that lost planet, so that mankind could uncover the secrets of its abandonment...and return to the ancestral homeland shared by all of humanity. Some people might find it a little bit sentimental, but I come from a culture that strongly desires to return to that place, that world where our species began its once humble existence.
cyclicalconcept: (is it 100 billion hot dogs awesome!?)

Oh, no! Not at all! Earth is a wonderful place! And--well, you're on Earth right now, actually! Not your Earth, but...!
betrayalcutsdeep: (It's rather endearing.)

Really?

[There's an excited gleam in his eyes.]

I must admit, I consider myself something of a historical scholar as a hobby. Visiting a version of Lo, ahem, of Earth in its heyday is something of a dream come true for me.

Ah, yeah! This is Earth! I hope you like it!
