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!

Ringo Akai | Ookami-san and the Seven Companions

[hoodwinking]

Arrival

[ It appears that Nyoi-cho has gained a second red hooded magical girl recently... Or is she a native? It's hard to tell even though at first glance she stands out among the more standard dress of the locals, but this little red haired girl is taking a stroll through the park, holding a polite conversation with anyone she crosses paths with. Such a pleasant smile on her face, as well! ]

Ah, hello! It's such a nice day out, don't you think? [ smile ] Have you seen a cute little white cat around?

A Day in the Life

[ Magi or not, Ringo must keep up with her studies! She's focused on the teacher's lecture during class, but now... it's lunch time! Lunch always tastes better with company, which is why she's sought you out, holding onto her bento box with a delicate hand. Maybe you've fought alongside her in a nightmare, or maybe you haven't, but she's found you for a reason. ]

Ah, excuse me... Would you mind if I ate with you? I'm new around here, and I'd like to get to know as many other Magi as I can.

[ Yeah. She knows you're a Magi, either way. ]

arrival

[dokkans]

[ If she was a native, she looked to be doing a pretty good job of standing out, unlike the rest. It's not long before she catches the attention of Red Hood #1, especially after she's been spoken to. So pleasant, smiling, she looks like she belongs in a picture book!

Where has she seen this before?

Bonnie matches that smile with one of her own, shaking her head. ]

I haven't, I'm afraid. I've been looking for one myself, actually.

[ And then, with a small bit of surprise, she gives Ringo a look over before a look of surprise crosses her face. ]

Good heavens! What a cute little cloak! [ She coos, seemingly stunned at how adorable the girl looks! Wow!! ]

[hoodwinking]

[ Oh, wow! Ringo is just as taken aback by the familiar sight before her, how quaint that there would be another like her... she was the cuter of the two, of course Like a true young lady should, Ringo lets out a bashful giggle and curtsies. ]

Do you think so, onee-chan? My mother made it for me, she said it suited me perfectly! Your's is charming, as well. They can get a little warm at times, but they're very fitting for girls like us~

[dokkans]

Oh, I absolutely agree! My grandmother made mine for me, and I could never bear to be without it!

[ Whatever onee-chan is, it's probably something cute and she half appreciates it! Maybe. It's hard to tell through the beaming smile. ]

I take it you've gotten lost and found your way here too, hm?

[hoodwinking]

It's important to cherish such a gift!

[ So this girl was lost, too? Which means there are likely others to be found... A big flock of sheep! ]

Mmm, I didn't expect to end up here, really. Guess I can't go back now; terms are terms, after all, and I certainly agreed to them.

[dokkans]

[ A sheep. Yup, that's what she is. Big and fluffy, at least she wants to come across that way! ]

That's right! You made a big wish, right? Well, let me welcome you personally to Nyoi-cho!

I'm Baby Bonnie Hood. I'm a magi, just like you. ♪

[hoodwinking]

[ Big and fluffy, just like a wolf! Right? ]

I did, I did! I'm so glad I got such a nice welcome from you, Bonnie-chan! Here I was wondering if I was the only Magi...

[ and then... shock! how rude of her! ]

Oh dear... My apologies, I'm Ringo Akai! It's very nice to meet you, and hopefully I can be an asset to this town.

[dokkans]

[ Just like! The big bad hunter is still pretty happy to see someone around, who seems to be just like her! Whether that remains true inside, she'll have to find out later. ]

Nope! You're mistaken, Miss Ringo. There's quite a few of us Magi around-- ah, but you shouldn't worry. It's not too hard to be useful to everyone here! It all depends on what you can help out with... in the end, you'd have to try really hard to be useless!

[hoodwinking]

[ This apple is very rotten inside, dear Bonnie. ]

Ah, I don't think I could stand to be useless. It'd be putting my talents to waste, and I might die of boredom. I can help with information gathering, surveillance, stealth... oh, or did you mean Magi abilities?

[ teehee ]

[dokkans]

[ Surveillance... stealth... information gathering. Oh, she likes what she's hearing. Bonnie looks to be getting a little more giddy, before she laughs. ]

Oh, I knew I would like you! No one wants you to die here, but if you're that useful, then I'd personally see to it that not a single red hair is hurt on your cute little head! I know that we could definitely use someone with those talents around this town.

[ And by we, she means she can. Granted, yes, it'd be nice to have someone who can relay info to the rest of the Magi and make them less useless, but personally? What a coup. ]

[hoodwinking]

Really, onee-chan?! [ bats eyelashes ] You'll really protect someone like me? It was only natural back home that I picked up on such things, so I didn't think it was anything special...

[ It's not special, yet worth mentioning to a practical stranger, hmm? Ringo steps forward and clasps her hands around one of Bonnie's, eyes glistening. ]

It... it makes me so happy... that I have someone like you to fall back on. To tell you the truth, Bonnie-chan... I've been scared since I came here. I thought I was all alone, and surely a monster would gobble me up... So, thank you!

[dokkans]

[ Closing her eyes, Bonnie places a hand on Ringo's head, giving her a great big smile. They should both know what it means, honestly. ]

Dooon't worry. Being a magi seems scary, but it's actually a lot of fun when you get used to it! So there's no need to be scared. Any monster that tries to gobble you up's going to get such a tummy ache before they do.

[ Never forget what the hunter did to the wolf at the end. ]

[hoodwinking]

[ Ringo sniffles for dramatic effect. ]

I... I won't be scared, then! Not if I can have someone by my side... I'm not the best with combat situations, but... if we work together, I bet nothing will be able to take us down!

[ Load up that stomach with explosives, right? ]

A Day in the Life

[cyclicalconcept]

Mm!

[She turns to look at Ringo, a smile on her face.]

Of course. You can sit with me!

[hoodwinking]

[ Joyous day! Ringo giggles and pulls up a desk to sit next to Madoka. ]

Thank you, thank you, Mado--[ no wait they haven't been introduced yet ]--onee-chan! Eheheh, I was worried I'd have to eat lunch all alone today... Wouldn't that be sad? My Mama always told me that I should use lunch time to strengthen my bonds with classmates. My name is Ringo~

[cyclicalconcept]

Eheh, its ok, you can call me Madoka!

[Her...name gets around, doesn't it?]

Its nice to meet you, regardless, Ringo!

[hoodwinking]

Oh, Madoka-chan? What a cute name, for a very cute face!

[ Y...yeah... her name... gets around... ]

It's very nice to meet you, too! I've only been here a few days, so I'm still quite new... But you've been here a lot longer, haven't you?

[cyclicalconcept]

A-ah, Ringo!

[Someone is turning red, yup!]

I-I've been here for five months, yeah...!

[hoodwinking]

[ just as keikaku... Flattery wins you favors! ]

Five whole months?! Wow... you must be a very experienced Magi, then! I'm honored that you'll speak with me, Madoka-chan.

[cyclicalconcept]

[The redness deepens.]

Aaaah, I'm not that amazing! I-its fine to talk to me whenever, honest!

[hoodwinking]

Eheheh... I'll stop, I'll stop! [ Full acknowledgement that she is embarrassing Madoka on purpose... ]

But really, I bet you can handle most any Nightmare with your skill.

[cyclicalconcept]

Well, I...I try, but I bet you could also do a great job, too!

[hoodwinking]

Maybe... I don't think I'm very suited for fighting, though. I'm not very strong...

[cyclicalconcept]

Well, what powers do you have? Maybe you can figure out a strategy with them...you don't have to be super strong to be good with dealing with Nightmares, after all...

[hoodwinking]

[ Ringo sulks at the mention of powers; what if Madoka made fun of her for how useless she really was? Oh dear, oh dear... ]

All I can do is heal......Oh! And I have a taser.
