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!

[Fern blinks at the sight of someone actually talking to her. Then she scratches her head thoughtfully.]

Not the worst I've seen, but I get what you mean. So far, all of these guys seem... [Well.] You know.
tchyeah: (I dunno...)

[personal profile] tchyeah 2015-11-30 06:17 am (UTC)(link)
Blank? Fake? Pre-programmed? It's like we're the only ones that are real, and everyone else is like...some kind of background NPC.
greenmamabear: (You need to puzzle solve here)

[personal profile] greenmamabear 2015-11-30 06:20 am (UTC)(link)
[She has no idea what NPC stands for, but she decides to roll with it.]

Could be. I don't wanna rule out that they might really be people just yet though. Maybe they just can't feel anything except... whatever they're feeling.
tchyeah: (What are you? Stupid?)

[personal profile] tchyeah 2015-11-30 06:23 am (UTC)(link)
That would be weird. And kinda scary. I mean, can you imagine only being able to feel one emotion, no matter what happened? Major big time danger if you couldn't tell when something smelled rotten in Denmark.

....Kiiiiiinda like it does now, come to think of it.
greenmamabear: (Kay whatever)

[personal profile] greenmamabear 2015-11-30 06:29 am (UTC)(link)
[She shivers a little at the thought.]

I'm glad I don't have to. Still, I'll take strange people over monsters any day.
tchyeah: (Sounds like dullsville.)

[personal profile] tchyeah 2015-11-30 06:31 am (UTC)(link)
Tch, at least monsters I know how to deal with. They get in my face and WHAMMO!

But people that barely act like people but aren't any kind of evil or otherwise deserving of a butt kicking? I've got nothing.
greenmamabear: (You need to puzzle solve here)

[personal profile] greenmamabear 2015-11-30 06:49 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know. Monsters have all these different rules and, uh, beliefs I guess. Inhuman ones. It takes longer to figure out how to deal with them. At least for me.
tchyeah: (I dunno...)

[personal profile] tchyeah 2015-11-30 06:53 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe you've met different kinds of monsters from me, because the ones I've met all pretty much just wanted to rule the world.

Well, I guess there's also the Monkey King, but that's a can of bananas I'm just fine leaving closed. ...And Springheel Jack, now that I think about it. He just wanted to eat the descendents of the guy that trapped him and then, I dunno, cause havoc or something.
greenmamabear: (Your questions aren't answered)

[personal profile] greenmamabear 2015-11-30 06:59 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. That does sound easier. Not that, uh, eating people is easy.

Not that I would know.

I've mostly seen sentient body parts. And virus parts. And dolphins.
tchyeah: (What are you? Stupid?)

You mean like someone's left foot got up and walked away on its own? I'm not sure if that's cool or just gross.
