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!

Rat mother hen?

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

Kyriakos assigned us to teams. Mine was Rataoskr, but that's a mouthful.

We are team 'we try really fucking hard to be good guys, but we're conditioned to be horrible at emotions and pragmatic survivalists.' There are times where I'm the most competent functional human being out of six people which should tell you how much of a fucking hot mess we are.

[miasmajesty]

Not really, no. You're usually the most competent functional human being out of the lot of us. But that's interesting.

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

Oh my fuck, really? No wonder we imploded. I'm not a good standard.

But, hot mess aside, they're adorbs and they're mine. I'll introduce ya one day. And my other friends. A lot of 'em are into tech, they'd probs love to pick your brain.

[miasmajesty]

[ ... ah. ]

Roxy. You... you can't go back. The wish is a one way trip.

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

Yeah, I know what they said.

I can wait for the others to fig it out. If nothing else, Ed's power can rival mine. He'll come eventually and then be so smug 'bout it.

[miasmajesty]

[ mm... ]

Well. Let's hope they come quick.

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

Depends how the timelines match up, but probs be a bit. He'll need to finish getting his soul together and beat the Reapers, but that should be happening soon enough. Then figure out to follow my specific void thing.

[miasmajesty]

[ mMMm. ]

Hey, c'mon. Let's go find your house.

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

...jeeze, have hope. They're pretty amazin' people. You'll see. [Patting his cheek.]

House sounds good! How do we go about findin' it?

[miasmajesty]

The doorknob will react to your soulgem.

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

Fancy.

Let's go. [Hooking her arm with his and walking.]

So, how is this place? Been here long?

[miasmajesty]

Almost a month. [ Leading her along like he's done it his whole life (he has), lets be real here. ] Hold out your gem.

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

Wow.

...is that forever here? A week felt like forever in Kyriakos.

[Holding out her gem.]

[miasmajesty]

No. Time seems to pass faster here than it did in the game.

[ basically just walking along the rows of houses until it shows a sign of reacting to her house. ]

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

Really? Welp, that'll be disorientating.

[Walking walking walking oh hey glowing]

[miasmajesty]

It's because things happen. There's a school here, plenty of people - real, living people. We got tossed into the ass end of the 21st century.

[ Ah yes. There we have it. Dirk's looking up to see if any houses match the gem color. ]

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

See, that's why Kyr was slow. So much shit happened in a day. Fuck, there was like a week where I kept finding a bloodied teammate or I died or there were mindfucks.

[...you know that gem is bright fucking pink, that house is gonna be obvious for miles.]

[miasmajesty]

[ MMMMMMMMM stiffening immediately, who the fuck killed Roxy, let him at them, he'll smash their fucking faces in.

but first, house. There it is. Come along to your house. ]

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

... [She can feel that tension.] I usually chose to die to save someone else from the Echo. A few aee forgivable. Others, not so much.

...Dirk, am I gonna be in this house alone. [Frowning at the front door.]

[miasmajesty]

Well... yeah. S'your house, Rox.

[ . . . ]

Unless you want to crash at my place. I can add an extra room.

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

....

I don't...like sleeping alone.

I got used to people there. Was nice.

[miasmajesty]

[ . . .

He rubs the back of his neck. ]

Would adding an extra bed work?

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

...yes.

Sorry, I know, Zelos gave me the same look.

[miasmajesty]

It's cool. It's just...

[ Awkward. ]
