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!

[Yeah, he tends to do that. Bless his idiot heart, Joseph was not a tactful individual.]

It's hardly any bother at all. To be a little blunt I find I'm lost in this situation myself, but I can try to help if you need it.

[Poor kid looked like a startled rabbit, really. This was a difficult enough thing to handle even for someone like him, so what was it like for people who hadn't seen vastly stranger things in the past month alone?]

[...probably seriously screwed up, actually.]

[unluckygirl]

Oh.

[ She remains cordial, keeps what slight disappointment she feels out of her tone as well as she can manage to. He might not know much more then she does, but at the very least, he seems more aware then the others that she's spoken to. ]

Unfortunate for us both, then. [ Her fingers come back up to her throat, pressing gently at the gemstone fit under her collar. She can't feel it pushing her throat. ] I'm just - I'm afraid that I find myself unclear as to this... wishing business.

[ She looks up a little nervously, because the whole thing sounds sort of crazy when she revisits it in her head. ] I don't mean to pry, of course... but did you also make a wish? In order to be brought here, I mean.

[voltaceleste]

...I did, yes. [He raised the one flesh and blood hand he had left back to the birthmark on his shoulder and the bright gem in his skin, glancing away. Had it worked? It damn well better have, but there was no way to be certain right now.]

[Jojo, you idiot. If you're not there when I get back, someone's going to pay for this.]

It was a little impulsive- [like everything else he did] -but I do remember wishing for something.
