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 Successful Mission: Congratulations! You met up with your first Witch, and you fought valiantly. For your efforts, you've been awarded a grief seed - and with it, access to a brand 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!

[Tsukasa just stared for a moment, trying to figure out if he was just that naive or if he had hit his head too hard on his tumble down when he came here. He really wasn't going to look at the logical side that was telling him that he too had to have made a wish to end up here, and instead shook his head.]

You can't save everyone at once. Besides, do they look like they are in any danger?

1/2

[Gentaro glances left, then right, making sure no monsters have suddenly popped up in the middle of this conversation. Seeing that none of the townspeople are currently being menaced by men in rubber suits, he shrugs.]

Not right now, but you never know when something's gonna come up. Besides, something's really fishy here, and I'm gonna figure out what it is, whether that means saving everybody or not!

i'm so sorry

[onegiantstep]

And while I'm at it.. [He thumps his chest, then points emphatically in a vaguely forwardish direction.]

I'm gonna be friends with every single person in Nyoi-Cho!

that's fine XD

[chaoticdrifting]

[Why him? Out of all the Riders, why this one? Though he appreciated that he won't try to kill him without a very good reason, just the idea of trying to wrap his mind around the way he thinks was already giving him a headache. At least he wasn't dealing with Momotaros. All the yelling that one would do would have definitely push him over the edge.

Tsukasa pursed his lips and took another picture. After all, why waste a good pose?]

Looks like you'll be here for a while, Gentaro.

[onegiantstep]

[Oh hey, we're taking pictures now? Gentaro attempts to strike what he can only assume is a cool-looking pose before realizing that the moment's passed. He's sure there'll be plenty of photo-ops later on.]

You know it! Some things a man's just gotta take his time w-- [wait a minute

WAIT A MINUTE

You can practically see the gears turning in his head as he slowly but surely puts the pieces together.]

How do you know my name?! [Aaaand there it is.]

[chaoticdrifting]

We've met several times.

[And he just fiddles with his camera for a couple of moments before sighing because he's pretty sure that Gentaro hasn't even begun to connect the dots even with his camera being his trademark color of magenta pink.]

Though I've only been a passing through Rider on those occasions.

[onegiantstep]

Ha! I thought I knew you from somewhere!

[Tsukasa, of all people, should know better than to expect great things from Gen in the brains department, especially since that catchphrase flew right over his head.]

Lemme guess. Uhh, Kuuga! No, wait, Faiz! [Maybe one of the Den-Os? There's, like, five of them, isn't there?] ...Stronger?

[chaoticdrifting]

[He will not groan. He will not yell or scream or go sulking some where. He was not going to let the ego blow make him act like a little kid. Though he will kinda pout.]

No. I'm Decade.

[onegiantstep]

[Okay, now he feels like kind of an asshole, and for good reason. You don't just go forgetting a fellow Rider like that.] Oh jeez, sorry, man. I guess I just didn't recognize you without the-- [He holds his fingers up in front of his face in what he figures is a pretty decent imitation of Decade's barcode mask.]

Guess I'll just have to make it up to you, right? [He sticks his hand out. You should know what this is for.]

[chaoticdrifting]

[He actually prefers to be forgotten instead of being chased all over as The Destroyer of Worlds and/or Great Leader. Less stress and work involved with the forgotten part. He figured Gentaro would have remembered the catch phrase too, but he guessed wrong. No harm done right?]

It's a little awkward to be wearing the suit among all these people right now. [Okay, just a little more sulking on his part. Someone hasn't had his coffee yet apparently.]

Count on it. [Okay, does he even remember this handshake? Does it matter? Oh well, he'll attempt it. Letting go of his camera (letting it swing on the chord around his neck) he gripped Gentaro's hand.] Tsukasa Kadoya outside of the suit.
