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!

[slllLLLOOOW DOWN, PARDNER. Prompto opens his mouth a couple time to try to answer at least one of the slew of questions, but then ends up mostly laughing a little, bewildered but charmed. He thinks he's charmed? Sure, he'll be charmed.]
Nah, I'm not a... whatever you said? None of those things. I'm just a guy! A guy with a camera. My buddies and I run into wild animals a lot for hunts and stuff. Oh, here we go!
[He leans over to show Dave the camera screen. Hello, baby!]
With a chocobo for size comparison. Aaaand me, I guess. Man, I wonder who took this picture...
no subject
[ maybe someday dave will learn ignis's actual name but that day has yet to come and he doesn't care enough to call someone on a fake name if they're decent company... ]
So that baby there is a cockatrice and not a chocobo? Do you actually happen to know what they eat because I feel like it's not a horse and apple situation...
no subject
I think they eat whatever? They're not afraid to attack people or anything, but they don't really look like birds of prey. Probably dig up bugs and stuff, they can't fly.
...
Also, what's a horse.

[IT WAS A GENUINE QUESTION, DAVE.]
no subject
They're like...do y'all have dogs? They're kinda like chocobo-sized dogs but with bigger snouts. They have flesh and stuff? And you ride them. I'd draw you one but I'm just gonna be straight up and tell you that my art ain't the best way to learn what anything actually looks like, on account of my art skills are mostly all in my head.
no subject
You can ride them?
[What Prompto's picturing in no way resembles a horse. If he ever meets one, he may be somewhat put out. But then he'll get over it, because, wow, horses are pretty great, too.]
Oh, man, I wish I could meet one! Are they friendly? Can you teach them to play fetch?
