APRIL TEST DRIVE
 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... There's no use in dwelling on it. You're a magi now, and that means adjusting to a whole new lifestyle. Get ready to hit the ground running. 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. Practice makes Perfect: This magi stuff sure looked easier on TV. You don't understand your power and it's frustrating trying to use it in combat when you don't get it. Maybe it's time to just take some time to figure this out. Good thing none of the citizens can see you when you transform! Test out those new skills, cause a little mischief, or be the helping hand someone might need! Fighting Evil by Moonlight: Things aren't as easy as they looked on TV. Nightmares are tough and there's real danger in there. There are victories... but, some are not as clear cut as others. Is today a successful attempt, or are you on your last legs standing up against an enemy far stronger than yourself? Do you forge on ahead, or do you retreat? 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 Dreadful Nightmare: You're wearing yourself down with all this fighting. Your mind is rife with insecurity and fear. 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 hurt someone. Birth of a Witch: You've just learned the terrible truth behind Witches, and it's staring you in the face - someone very close to you has succumbed to despair. In a burst of flame, their corrupted soul gem rearranges itself into a grief seed, completing their transformation. Can you continue to fight on, knowing that this is the ultimate fate of all magi? Moreover, can you bring yourself to raise your weapon against a dear comrade whom you have been fighting alongside for so long? Unending Night: Carrying out a magi's duties has never been easy. Although up until now you've successfully navigated your way through countless nightmarescapes and defeated countless foes, this time you might finally be outmatched. Foe after foe stands before you. There's no end in sight. And with each attack you throw their way, your soul gem seems to grow ever dimmer... A Cruel Choice: The Witch has fallen, and you've been awarded a grief seed for your valiant efforts. Just in time, too! Your soul gem is in desperate need of cleansing. But as you look around you, you realize that you're not the only one whose soul gem is in bad shape. There's absolutely no way you can take care of more than one soul gem with just one grief seed. What will you do? In Fugue: Someone very dear to you has been acting off lately. They spend just a little too much time with the natives of Nyoi-cho, and they seem to resemble themselves less with each passing day. They even seem to be forgetting bits and pieces of their own past, and simple questions on your part lead to them spitting out the same eerie pre-programmed responses that you've grown so accustomed to hearing from the locals. It's clear that they're being assimilated into the town. You wonder how long it'll be before they cease to recognize you completely and the person you once knew them as simply no longer exists. Isn't there a way to slow down or reverse the process at all? Wildcard: Feel free to use any information from the FAQ or the World Info page to make your own prompt! |
Felicia // Darkstalkers
Well, this sure wasn't Las Vegas. And it definitely wasn't broadway!
"Um, excuse me? I believe I wished to be a world famous actress, singer and pop idol? Hello?"
The yowling of an angry cat woman is sure to bring some Magi out of their homes as Felicia sighs and starts to prowl down the street exploring. There's a puzzled look on her face as she sniffs and realizes that her senses are duller then usual suddenly.
"I'm starting to think I was tricked."
Hopefully modesty is not your greatest concern because it sure isn't hers. On first glance it appears she's simply glued some fur to her body in strategic locations as an elaborate cosplay. However upon closer examination it's clear it's actually her fur! Non-humans are hardly the strangest thing to appear in this town but mostly naked non-humans not covering themselves up with shells and rainbow mohawks are a little unusual.
___________________________
Having finally figured out how to transform, Felicia gives herself a once over admiring the fishnet pattern that has traced its way up the fur on her legs. Spats have formed over her powerful lower paws giving her a feel of class.
Traveling upwards she's wearing what looks to be blue spandex under a black suit jacket and bowtie. The jacket itself sparkles as it's covered in sequins. It cuts off at the shoulders showing off her fur which has become so silky smooth it looks like she's wearing elbow length gloves. Her blue soul gem is attached to her jacket like a boutonniere.
The outfit is completed by a top hat which perches jauntily on her head and a microphone appears which she snags from the air.
"This is my weapon huh? Well...when in Rome."
She takes a deep breath and starts singing into the mic which causes powerful shockwaves radiating in all directions. It's not that her tone is off really (It could use some work) but waves of power are emanating from her causing concussive damage. Someone might wanna stop her!
___________________________________________
"Get away get away get AWAY!"
Dashing on all fours such as her catlike nature insists, Felicia just barely avoids getting smashed into paste by a familiar's fist knocking her off her feet and rolling head over heels away. She'd been doing really well against some of the weaker bird shaped familiars but this new one had surprised her in both size and strength.
The familiar is some kind of mechanical monster which so far has reflected all her musical attacks right back at her which becomes instantly apparent the way her outfit is rumpled and torn (Yet still sparkling). The gears inside whirl and click as what appears to be a clockwork knight pulls its fist from the ground and continues stomping towards her.
Felicia scrambles back to her feet and hisses arching as best she can and looking around desperately for somewhere to run but she's quickly getting backed into a corner here and could really use some help!!!

[Wildcard.]
A flickering Neon sign over the bar was inviting to world weary Magi in need to relax.
Inside the bar music was always playing, sometimes low and soothing other times energizing and loud depending on the night. At the moment there's a piano number giving a mystical feel to the room as you enter and admire the polished wood surfaces and flickering candle lit lounge. A long old fashioned bar appears almost carved from the ground itself to the right of the main entrance, and to the left is a beautiful but small stage with a Microphone and various TV screens showing at the moment fireplaces. When someone opts to sing the TVs change over to music videos, or just the lyrics if needed.
In between those two main points are tables and chairs, sofas and some various tacky decor which clashes with the theme of the room. Toys and statues purchased from shops around town, souvenirs from previous battles. The walls display some portraits of various Magi signed like autographs.
Felicia loves this place and so today you can find her lounging lazily at the bar with a tall glass of milk and some dumplings on a plate.
"HEEEEY Pull up a chair! I've got more dumplings!"
Fighting Evil
A certain succubus pulling her wing back into its normal shape, scarcely having broken into a sweat from the assault. She tilts her head to the side, staring wide eyed at Felicia. ]
Are you alright? You must not be very strong.
no subject
I actually am usually! But this place is all weird! It's like it drained some of my strength and turned it into these magic powers that I'm not used to using yet.
[She picks up a cord from the ground and starts tugging it towards herself till a microphone appears. Apparently she threw it at the beast in desperation and it bounced away somewhere.]
Thank you for the help! I woulda been toast in another minute.
no subject
[ It's stated as if that's the only thing she couldn't do, and to demonstrate Lilith hovers off the ground a few feet. ]
If it killed you, it would have been a hassle... I'd have to drag you out of here.
no subject
[That's one way of putting it. She laughs as if Lilith was joking and bops herself on the head with her paw.]
Yeah, sorry for the trouble. Say! You're a super tough experienced Magi now right? Maybe we could team up and you could give me some pointers huh? I promise I won't slow you down!
no subject
[ This cat person thing doesn't seem... too bad? But something about her is oddly familiar. Despite Felicia insisting she wouldn't be a burden though, she has her doubts, at least from that initial display of "skill" she showed.
Rather than comment on that, or even, y'know, answering Felicia's direct question to her, Lilith points noncommittally at Felicia. ]
Are those real?
[ She, ah... means the whole cat ensemble. ]
no subject
Well of course they are! I'm all natural! I mean sometimes I wear costumes and stuff for performances...who doesn't like to play dress up right? But you can tug on my fur if you don't believe me!
[And after she realized that would be uncomfortable adding.]
Though uh...I prefer a nice petting instead.
[It doesn't help that as she explained that she twisted and turned striking some sultry poses.]
wildcard
The ambiance suggested that it didn't feel terrible in any way. It felt familiar to many of the pubs she'd head into to work out smuggling deals in the past. The decor made her giggle a bit, especially when she comes across a picture of herself. Oh, that's cute! She doesn't remember signing it, but it still makes her feel pretty damn important.
A voice calls out to her, and the red-hooded girl tilts her head. Seriously... a catwoman? Here? She'd heard of a few of them being around the world, but didn't expect another Darkstalker to just pop right up.
An instinct says to reach into her basket and take care of business, but she stops herself. Oh no. The last time she did that, things got really bad. Instead, she glances around as if there was someone else nearby, and then points to herself. ]
Oh goodness, do you mean me?
no subject
I sure do! There's no bartender or cook here so I just kinda helped myself. I'm sure they won't mind...and if they do maybe they'll give me a job to pay them back. I'm still kinda new around here.
no subject
She shakes her head and then follows up the thought with a smile and a nod. ]
The people in town are nice enough that that might work! They hire just about anyone, you know.
[ Bonnie skips right up, taking her place at the bar-- with a seat between the two of them. ]
One of those dumplings would be really nice right about now.
no subject
[Felicia slides the plate over to the space between them. There's at least five left and they're so fresh Bonnie can see the steam rising off them. Meanwhile her feline host slips from her stool and slithers around the side of the bar.]
Whatcha' drinking? I'll see if they've got some back here.
[Felicia to this point is blissfully unaware of how easily Bonnie could end her just out of habit and with any luck she'll remain that way.]
no subject
Ah-- if you have any juice, I'd adore some, please.
[ B.B. takes a bite of the dumpling, happily humming to herself as she kept her eye directly on Felicia. It was hard for her to ignore the fire she had to give in and not slam the cat's head against the counter until she stopped moving. No, not now. Not this time.
She rests her elbow against the counter, hand propping her head up. ]
Do you have a name, miss?
no subject
Oh sure! Felicia! Remember it too because some day I'm gonna be a star and you'll be able to say you got to know me before I was famous.
[She talks it up but there's a humbled laugh to her statement as she circles back around and tears into one of the buns for herself.]
Or at least that was the plan before coming here. The audience is a little limited right now.
no subject
[ A look of surprise crosses her face, and for a moment she grins, before she turns it back into a smile. A girl planning to be famous? More importantly, a Darkstalker trying to make it famous? Hah. ]
You've come to the right place, you know. It's not hard to stand out from the others here! I bet you'd be a star in no time.
no subject
Aw thank you! That is the sweetest thing anyone's said to me all day!
[she purrs looking so pleased with the tiny bit of encouragement and finishes her bun in two big bites.]
And what's your name new friend?
[Why can't meeting talent agents be this easy?]
no subject
I'm Bonnie! Trust me, did you know that there's a world of people here that've never seen a girl like you? [ She says, patting the top of her head. ]
You're not like anything I've seen for sure. I was pretty surprised to see you myself!
no subject
[She laughs not even put off by being literally pat on the head.]
Well I'm happy to be the first Catgirl you've met! I promise we're super mostly super nice and fun loving! We can be tough if we have to be of course but mostly I think just like humans we wanna follow our dreams you know?
