September / October Test Drive

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 Day in the Life: Everyday hero by day, magician by night! You've got a busy day ahead of you and no time to waste! Maybe it's school, or maybe it's work, maybe it's both! Being magical doesn't make you exempt from paying those shopping bills! May Day: Uh-oh. This magical girl stuff looked easier on TV. You're in some serious trouble! Or maybe you see someone else who is! It's time to pull up your socks and show them what you have. Be the hero you've always wanted to be, or give in and be that damsel in distress. There's no shame in needing a little help now and then. A Successful Mission: Congratulations! You met up with your first Nightmare, and you fought valiantly. You even mastered that tricky power of yours! As if in response to your masterful victory, you feel as though you've unlocked a 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!

Well no, but I wish I could pull off a stunt this big again!... I'm just another lame Magical Girl like everyone else here.

[For good measure she transforms herself. Her new outfit is as gaudy her normal one, and possibly more so, and seems to emphasis her chest to a ridiculous degree.]

I meant more that I'm going to have all kinds of fun here spreading despair all over the place till even I can't stand living here!

[airfriends]

[ Ugh, that chest of the other's bugs at her mind.

Especially because of how modest her own assets were.

But she doesn't show even a moment of that, even as she continued inching away. Better safe than sorry, she thought, as her armor fades its way into existence as well. ]

Despair...? You're a damn lunatic.

[fashionablyhopeless]

Ugh another person who doesn't understand how wonderful despair is? This place sucks.

But in this situation that makes me the evil magical girl? I'm even wearing black to! So are we going to fight or are you going to run away?

[This is becoming fun for Junko, not a good sign.]

[airfriends]

[ Let's just. Ignore the fact that her armor was mostly black too.

Her first instinct is to run away, but something about this person compelled her to stay, and that she would probably be in more danger if she tried to escape.

'How wonderful despair is? What a load of horse shit.' ]

[ She doesn't answer, but keeps her gaze trained upon the other. Her guard was up, no doubt about it, even if her weapon hasn't already been called forth. Still, it wasn't much effort to bring it out, anyway, and she could probably just blind the other with her magic if the need came.

If a fight was to be had, she wasn't going to make the first move. ]

[fashionablyhopeless]

[And in response, Junko summons a...black and white stuffed bear? It's a little creepy looking but didn't look at all dangerous.]

You know, on second thought, I don't really feel like playing with you right now. So you can just mess with this little guy for now, ok?

Have fun!

[Junko set the strange bear on the ground in front of her and turned tail to leave for greener pastures.]

[airfriends]

[ A... bear?

As the other turned to leave, she yells after her. ]

W-Wait! What is this about?!

[ This one knew better than to take an object's outward appearance for what it was, even if it did seem harmless. The way the other departed didn't suggest that it was anything particularly dangerous, either, but... She'll keep her distance, even so.

As the other moved away, so did she, watching both bear and person closely as she backpedalled in all the cautiousness that could be afforded to her right now. ]
