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!

Lightning's speed, fire's fury! I was running pretty fast, so it's hard to stop or make turns, you know? [He sees you approaching, Eichi. Madara's going to firmly stand his ground though. Whatchu gonna do 'bout it m8?] It's too bad though, I didn't have any bread to leave a trail, so I don't know the way back! Whoopsie~☆
[He won't say it outright, but seeing that subtle hostility... it's kind of satisfying?! Could he make him even angrier, Madara wonders~?]
no subject
[Once he's close enough, Eichi is still smiling like he's being pleasant, but his words aren't carefully placed like usual. They're straightforward, distracted by his own feelings as he eyes Madara from head to toe. What was that threat that he'd given him the last time? Something about a punch to the stomach?
So Eichi balls his little weak hand into a fist and punches straight at Madara's stomach!
Actually, he punches surprisingly hard, but that's about all he can do.]
no subject
Okay, now this was just kind of weird? Madara didn't even do anything yet, why was Eichi already resorting to violence? It's so weird that rather than returning the hit tenfold now that the Laws of That Land were not holding him back, Madara responds less violently. With both hands, he casually lifts the Student Council President off the ground, holding him out at arms length like an unruly puppy, a frown mixed with concern and bewilderment.]
Hmm... You're not usually this direct with your thirst for blood, Eichi-san? Did you hit yourself on the head or something? Ah, but if you did, you'd probably just die on the spot wouldn't you? [On closer study, it doesn't seem like he suffered any injuries? He's in irritatingly pristine condition.] What could it be, then? Come on, you can tell Mama.
[Or not. Either way, Madara would rather hit him when he's being himself. For now, anyway.]
no subject
[He can't do a thing against being picked up like some sort of a doll. That's infuriating, even if he'd appreciate being stopped if he were in the right frame of mind. Right now, all he wants to do is fight Madara in every way that he can, and his eyes try to carve holes into his heart with just a stare.]
If you'd like to fight back, then set me down and hit me normally. [He'd die from that? But what he wants is a fight, from both sides... He doesn't care about anything else. Desperately, he tries to swing his legs to kick out, but he can't reach.]
There's no one here to stop you, is there? So why hesitate?
no subject
... Come to think of it, Madara did remember spotting Eichi eat something before making his presence known. Candy, right? Ah, maybe that was it. What weird place this is. Very interesting too, but this situation certainly is inconvenient.]
True, I did say that I'd destroy you, didn't I? Hahahahahaha!☆ [He says it with rather blunt cheer, in the same manner one would if commenting the sky was blue.] ... But that was only if you decided to try anything to hurt them again, you know? A Mama's a protector, after all, not a wanton murderer.
[The prospect of having this guy follow him to the ends of the earth to keep trying to punch him sounds really annoying, though. How can he snap Eichi out of this? ... A good spook, maybe? Without giving him a chance to reply:]
Okay, Eichi-san! UP, UP, AND AWAAAAAAYYYYY☆
[And with a mighty swing of his arms, Madara immediately launches the poor lad into the air. Don't worry, when he falls, he'll catch him. He's waiting.]
