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!

[Abdul suddenly stops walking, concern on his face.]

You had blackouts because of him?

[As troubling as the mentioned blackouts are, the fact that this spirit took control of the young man's body and used it makes Abdul even more uneasy. It is far too similar to what DIO did to both Kakyoin and Polnareff.]


Did he ever make you do things you did not want to?

[Realizing the other magi stops, Yuugi does too, turning his head to look at him before the question makes him take pause. Did Yami make him do things? Yes and no. It was his body but he wasn't conscious...it's a difficult line. He hesitates, looking down at the ground now as he holds a hand to his arm, rubbing it almost thoughtfully.]

...Almost. I stopped it before it got worse.

[The duel with Kaiba at Duelist Kingdom comes to mind as he purses his lips together, frowning.]

Once I became aware of him, the blackouts stopped and we worked in tandem together. He listens to me and respects me.

[But he didn't listen when you told him not to play that card, a niggling voice in the back of his head commented, causing Yuugi to shake his head and reach to fiddle with the blond strands of hair framing his face.]

We've worked our way past that.

Have you? You seem uncertain about that.

[Is it the contemplation? The fiddling or the frown? Maybe everything together? Abdul is not sure why his instincts make him so certain the young man is not telling the full truth when he says that, but he is quite sure there is more to it than that. It is so easy for those who are being controlled to think they are actually the ones in charge. He would hate to have this boy fall into that trap, not when he has seen so many fall into it recently.

Thanks, DIO.]

[And now they've reached the part he's been agonizing over to the point of neglecting himself. Yuugi hunches his shoulders and looks at the ground, sliding his hands into his pockets. Some part of him feels like he's telling too much to a stranger he's just met, but the other part of him knows that he needs to talk to someone.

He shakes his head.]


I don't want to trouble you...ah, especially when I don't know your name.

[And he kicks himself for that.]

Mohammed Abdul.

[There problem solved.]

And I do not mind. I would not have asked if I did. I am a fortuneteller by trade. Listening to people's problems and helping them understand the paths they can take through their uncertainties is what I do for a living.

[So speak to him, small child. What is bothering you so?]

Yuugi Mutou. It's nice to meet you, Abdul-san.

[Really grandpa would be ashamed of him for introducing himself so late, but it just proved to who knew him how much this was weighing on his mind, and in Nyoi-Cho, that didn't really amount to anyone. Scratching his cheek a little sheepishly, he glances up when the man says that. With a small sigh, he lets his hands slip into his pockets, looking thoughtful for a moment.]

Before I came here...he played a card I didn't want him to play. [Yuugi rocked back on his heels, closing his eyes and remembering the chill that ran down his spine as he was separated from the spirit.] It had been given to us at the start of the duel by the enemy and...it separated my soul from him. Even though I could see and hear what was going on, he must have been unable to say the same...I was so scared for him.
