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!

Frisk! There you are!

[Sorry Frisk. You were probably hoping for someone who could be genuinely helpful and informative, but alas, Papyrus has managed to notice you in all this crowd. At least he's friendly enough, if lacking any helpful information.]

I wondered where you were! But I knew it would be only a matter of time before I, The Great Papyrus, found you! Don't worry, I will lead you to safety!

If...here isn't safe enough?

[Hm. He doesn't know now. He was certainly ready for danger, but this place seems rather safe.]

[the_determinator]

[ She looks around a little, but nobody seems to be attacking them. Still, Papyrus never fails to make her smile, and this is no exception. ]

Lead on, guardsman.

[hotpantsdreamer]

Nyeh heh heh!

[Guardsman. You called him guardsman, human, how can he not just beam at that, polishing part of his 'battle armor' with a bony knuckle.]

Have no fear human! So long as we are here, I shall watch over you!

Though, er....

Where is 'here'?

[the_determinator]

[ She gets up on tiptoes and whispers "Nyoi-cho" into his ear, so that when he says it, it'll sound out loud to passersby like he thought of it. Or suddenly remembered it. ]

[hotpantsdreamer]

As long as we are here in Nyoi-cho!

[He says it proudly, surely having just remembered. Wowie he is amazing and cool. Frisk is amazing and cool. Everyone here he is pretty sure is amazing and cool, even more so now that he's here.]

Gee, the names for places on the surface are kind of complex! I'm not even sure what a Nyoi-cho is!

[Sorry Frisk. But when you live in places named "Waterfall" and "Snowedin", you kind of just figure every name has to do with something in the town.]

[the_determinator]

Me either. [ At least she's honest. But she knows what a Papyrus is. And what a friend is.

She's pretty sure that she'll be okay with Papyrus. ]

Did you get powers?

[hotpantsdreamer]

Of course! Behold!

[And, proudly, Papyrus motions towards the pair of hotpants he's wearing.]

[the_determinator]

[ She blinks. Doesn't really see how that's a power.

But they look pretty great. She claps anyway. ]

[hotpantsdreamer]

[Papyrus looks pretty happy about it. He just beams in the applause for a moment. BUT HE'S NOT DONE YET!

He pulls the first set down a little to show...another pair of hot pants underneath! And another! And another!

He's finally done it Frisk. He can now wear eight pairs of hot pants.]

[the_determinator]

[ Her eyes widen a little more each time. Okay, now she's actually impressed. ]

Was that your wish?

[hotpantsdreamer]

Nyeh heah heah! Of course!

There's nothing else I needed to wish for! Anything else I, the Great Papyrus, and my cool friends could do anyway! Just...the hot pants thing was kind of a pickle!

[So as far as Papyrus is concerned: wish well spent!]

[the_determinator]

[ She grins widely. ] It's a perfect wish, Papyrus. You sure are a smart and cool skeleton.

And well-dressed, too. [ Throw some flattery in there. Getting him flustered is one of her favorite activities, after all. ]

[hotpantsdreamer]

R-really!?

[He chatters nervous for a moment. For someone who praises himself so constantly, it's amazing how such a little compliment can put him in such a tizzy.

He runs his hands across his smooth skull, beaming.]

Of course I am! You should always be dressed for success and no one knows more about success than I!
