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!

lalli hotakainen | stand still. stay silent | shows up late with lakkalikööri

( arrival )
[ too bad weird mysterious powers don't have instruction manuals. while not at all unfamiliar to magic, this new gift he has isn't something lalli's used to at all. not only is his ability to sense spirits gone, it's been replaced with a really useless feature that makes people look like they're encased in gross and colorful blobs.

he hoped this was part of a dream or something; that's at least the impression he was under when an ugly cat looking creature had asked him some questions. after a few hours, though, the possibility seemed to be a fleeting one.

lalli isn't one for hypothesis testing either, so the strange blob ability he's been given (which is, unbeknownst to him, aura reading) will remain a mystery. the only way he can think to figure out what it is is to stare at passersby....you get to pick the setting, i'm lazy. but wherever it is, there is a gangling teen just given you A Look (see icon). ]

[ The people here are strange, and Lalli doesn't appear to be an exception. ]

Is there something on my face.

[ The words are delivered entirely deadpan, with a heavy accent, and not at all like a question. Despite the apathetic tone, the aura around the Handmaid burns a bright red, both due to her general angry nature and the growing frustration she's feeling as she explores a city that looks all too cheerful on the surface. ]

[ if this is an idiomatic expression, it is one he doesn't understand because....yeah, there's a lot of stuff on her face, including weirdly red features that are even more obscured by a reddish tint.

but i mean...if she's asking, he'll squint more and answer honestly. ]


Yes.

[ Wait -- what?

She brushes off her face with one hand. Nothing noticeable. And she knows she wiped her mouth earlier after eating that pork bun.
]

No. There's not. [ It's unnecessarily combative considering it would be a stupid argument to have. ]

[ liar liar, pants on fire because he can literally see these things...well i mean the most obvious things aren't on her face, they're coming out of the sides of her head. head, face. same thing, really. "do i have something on my face" has the same meaning to him as "do i look kinda weird."

but he considers this for a second before repeating himself. ]
Yes. [ and said as stubbornly as possible. he's not BLIND. ]

[ Strife initiated. ]

No.

[ She takes a step closer to him, eyes narrowed, completely willing to overlook the fact that there might indeed be something on her face. ]

[ look miss thing, if you want to be petulant...well, two can play at that game. ]

Yes!

[ this one comes with a lean in and a closer inspection of...everything. from skin to horns. he has definitely seen some things, but he's never seen one of you before. especially some so odd and yet sentient. aliens sure are...alien. ]
fightybroad: (t0m0t)

[personal profile] fightybroad 2015-12-21 11:44 am (UTC)(link)
[ THUNK.

The lean in gave her the opening to ram her horns into his forehead. It would hurt him more than her. While she no longer had the overall toughness of a troll, she still had, due to her wish, at least some of her strength.
]

Idiot.

[ there's a "mess with the bull and get the horns" pun in here somewhere. the collision isn't extreme but it's enough to probably give him a decently sized goose egg for a few days and his first taste of emotive aura correlation. maybe soon he'll learn that red means "do not approach".

he closes his eyes and clutches his head in pain, knocked back a few steps but catching himself from completely toppling over. his angry hissing can be heard before begging the question. ]


What was that for?! [ this is what he gets for honesty, really. ]
fightybroad: (pic#9839093)

[personal profile] fightybroad 2015-12-21 12:01 pm (UTC)(link)
You got too close.

[ It really is that simple for her. He'd invaded her personal space while arguing with her. It didn't matter that the argument was stupid as fuck or that she'd initiated the confrontation. ]
