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!

Incidentally I was thinking of apping this guy in... let's go with... 3!
Eyes. Why does it always have to be eyes...? ]
It looks like we're after the same target. As much as I'd hate to admit it, what do you say to a collaboration?
[ Heck, his memories of their fight are still fresh in his mind so at least he knows Sasuke's going to provide a good distraction to the creature if they ever have to take it down.]
goD
The chokuto comes out of its sheath as he rises slowly into a stand.]
I don't need your help.
[The quest clearly says-- Fuck the quest.]
it'll be a blast
[ Look, he's willing to play nice for now. At least for the sake of self preservation. But ah, that signature Uchiha arrogance he loathes so much.
You've got two differing colors here. It didn't necessary require both of them to be alive after all. Forget distraction. Bait would be the better word now. ]
I'll just wait until the cockatrice turns you to stone and take care of this and the reward myself. Hm.
no subject
But the fact it will happen because he's too stubborn to acknowledge "2 of any color"--yeah. It might happen then.] Do you even know what to feed it? [Listen, it's a serious inquiry? Of course, it sounds arrogant af, though.
How did he have friends burning all these bridges?]
no subject
[ Look, he's drawing conclusions from the fact the blasted thing looks to be at least 60% chicken. ]
Of course, there's also the possibility it turns out to be carnivorous. I'm sure it doesn't turn things to stone for no reason. We can test either theory.
no subject
It's not corn.
[And he wishes he could say it's not corn because Deidara is a moron; really, it's not corn because "two of any color," and he doesn't believe corn to be the case. Unless... the corn was a corn cob, and each corn cob was some crazy shade of the rainbow.]
Go test it.
[Is Deidara... chicken?]
