Test Drive Meme 2.

These are the mem’ries that last.
These are the mem’ries that will never pass.
And time waits for no one.
It’s gone in a flash.
And only the mem’ries will last.

Prompt 1:

he forest looms, uninviting and full of menace, an unwelcoming place for sure. Time to go explore! It isn't as though there's anywhere else to go, now that you've looked around the Town.

The trees whack at you with branches that have far too much mobility for normal trees, strange and mutated animals watch from the shadows and boughs, and there’s the constant, constant sense of being watched --

But eventually, nonetheless, you’ll come across a small house in the forest. It sticks out like a sore thumb, bright and colorful, which is probably the first warning that something is way off, and it’s...covered in candy. It’s a candy house! It looks delicious.

(It’s empty, too, not a single soul in it, without even furniture, but everything is otherwise edible and utterly delicious.)

But if you eat the candy? You’re going to have a terrible, overwhelming urge to do one of two things:

Fight the first person you see

Kiss the first person you see

Unfortunate.

Prompt 2:

he problem with a Town like this is that now that color is starting to return, bit by bit? You never really know when color’s going to come back -- or disappear. Maybe you’ve made a delightful, delicious sandwich from handmade bread and tomatoes and deer meat, all of which have color now… and then suddenly, when taking a bite, you get only the taste of ash and bread and tomato as the deer meat loses color.

Also, someone probably died for that color to fade away. Alarming!

Or maybe you’re walking along when suddenly your makeshift clothing is a hideous mix-match of colors; it had seemed fine when it was all grey and colorless!

Or perhaps, even worse, you’re walking out of a house when suddenly, the flowerbed in front of it has full color, bright and maybe a little blinding after so much monochrome. Damn those color mechanics.

Prompt 3:

he quest seems simple, on the Quest Post:

Quest 33:
Feed the Cockatrice.
Requirements: 2 of any color

Key word, of course, is seems. First, you have to find the cockatrice. Maybe grab someone to drag into the woods with you, since there needs to be at least two of you. Time to stomp through the woods in search of the elusive cockatrice.

Of course, once you find it, the quest...looks a bit harder. The monster hisses, ready to turn anyone who approaches to stone, as cockatrice tend to do. What do you even feed that thing? How will you get it to take it without getting stoned up? There are so many questions.

At least the stone will wear off...eventually… if you’re unlucky enough to get petrified.

Prompt 4:

ut hey, you did it! You fed the cockatrice, it seemed satisfied, and now you can go fetch your reward from your home. It must be something amazing, with the work that you put in.

The only change in your home, though, is what looks like a...picture book. It's got a colorful cover (in your character's color shade), and has their name on the cover, so it definitely belongs to them.

And when they flip it open, it's clearly full of pictures scribbled in, as if drawn in scribbly crayon. Unlike the rest of the Town, this book is fully colorful, every shade of the rainbow in those crayon strokes... which depict, page by page, your character's worst moments in their life. Every single last horrific experience or tragic moment -- it's all there, in colorful, cute children's drawings.

Congratulations!

ONE: LOCAL DELINQUENT CAUSES TROUBLE FOR NEIGHBOURHOOD

[ A candy house. Incredible. This house might be the most striking thing in his strange, monochromatic world, and while Josuke is a cautious fellow he also tends to get curious. He can't see a ... huge, colourful, candy-like house without wanting to investigate it. Of course, he's going to stay a little wary - this new place he's in is bizarre (haha) to begin with, there's no leaving out the possibility that this might be a magical trap or some weird Stand attack. It's probably fine if he doesn't actually go in, right? He can hover around outside and try to peek into the windows, like some large delinquent trying to cause trouble at another person's house ... He definitely looks the part.

While peeking into the window, his thumb grazes the cream-coated wall, some cream catching onto it. Without much thought, he licks that cream off. ]

Looks like no one's home. This is still so freaky though, whoever owns this place sure has weird taste. [ Haha. 'Taste'. He didn't intend that pun. ] It's like I'm in 'Hansel and Gretel' ...

[ Oh, but there's someone coming up behind him now. Josuke turns to them immediately. ] Whoa, this your house? I was just curious about it, don't get the wrong idea!

[ HE'S NOT TRYING TO BREAK AND ENTER! The life of the average guy who chooses to look like a delinquent. ]

TWO: LOCAL DELINQUENT COMMITS THEFT

[ He isn't sure about following the instructions of somebody he doesn't even know, but he was told that he'll get something out of it, and any sort of reward - something from home, real food that won't lose its colour, clothes and other necessities - is favourable for the guy who has nothing. To begin with, he doesn't even know what a cockatrice is, given his disinterest in cryptids (normal teenage boys would rather play video games than read about fictional monsters, okay). ]

This 'cockatrice' ... Is it something like a chicken? [ Hey, he's close enough. Anyway, as they speak, Josuke is currently ... uh, stealing some food out of someone's abandoned home. Some vegetables and suspicious meats, to be precise. ]

Feels kinda bad to be doing this, but it's not stealing if no one actually lives here right? [ This house looks hella abandoned. ] I think this'll do. Everyone likes a good sausage.

[ shut up josuke

But how long will this sausage keep its flavor ... ]

FOUR: LOCAL DELINQUENT WASTES PAPER

[ What kind of reward is THIS? They could have given him some good food, or a nice shirt, but instead they chose to mock him with this macabre children's book? ]

Whoever made this definitely ain't right in the head! What the hell -- It's weird enough they know my name, but to draw all of this --

[ He's seething already at the drawing of his grandfather, lying on the ground with his eyes half-open and lifeless. There's even a crude drawing of himself, desperately trying to heal the man and failing. On the next page, he arrives at a drawing of his best friend Okuyasu, lying on the ground with almost half of his chest blown out of him. The drawings are much too crude to actually invoke a feeling of disgust in anyone else, looking more like the doodles of a particularly imaginative child, but the memories -- It's all too fresh in his mind, having experienced them only a few weeks ago. ]

You've gotta be fucking kidding me. What is this bullshit -- [ Two ghost-like, pink hands appear to phase out of him and grab hold of the book he's holding, and he tears right through the binding, shredding the book in an instant. ]

WILDCARD-KUN
[ idk do something else with me, honestly i'm feeling lit right now so if you leave a blank comment i'll write you a starter. i can also be reached via pm or at

Wo-ah! Now there's an interesting power!

[This is who Josuke wanted in his time of anger, grief and confusion, right? This guy? No? Too bad, he's here, his hands in his pockets, leaning forward a little. He got a bit of a peek at that book, but not nearly enough.]

Hey, here's a tip, kid: maybe don't let them know just how much that thing affected you. So what, was that your friend, or you just squeamish about killing people?

[ He's not a guy who likes to dwell on heavier issues, so a change in topic is more than welcome. Actually, he's more shocked than anything that Greed could see his Stand-hands. ]

You saw that ...? [ Is Greed an ENEMY STAND USER -- Probably not, he seems so chilled-out and civil so far. Not all Stand users are out to get him, so beyond the initial surprise there's no reason to start being suspicious of this man. He does want to ask later on though, just how Greed was able to see Crazy Diamond.

His expression flattens when the book is brought up again, and he lets out a tired sigh. ] My best friend. But he's alright now, probably stuffing his face without me somewhere back home.

[ top 10 anime betrayals ] What's even the point of all this -- Were they trying to piss me off for fun?

Maybe! It's definitely possible, but proooobably not the only reason.

[He takes a few steps forward, tipping his head this way and that, trying to see if he can see any trace of Crazy Diamond.]

So what was that?
