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
Though, it looks different from the last time he saw it. To be precise, he can see that an entire wall has now disappeared. There's also a guy stepping out, crumbs coating his lips, looking so satisfied he might as well have been at a buffet. ] Dude, that might not have been such a good ide --
[ And then, it happens, he's pretty much dragged into that one big kiss. ] MMHF?!
no subject
You were wide open.
no subject
[ He can definitely feel the red in his face now, and when the kiss ends, he's left flustered and frazzled, blushing as he covers his mouth. This guy's quite pretty, yeah, he does take notice of that, but that doesn't mean he's allowed to do whatever he wants with other people. ] Oi. I know you probably got poisoned, but that doesn't mean you can spring this sorta thing on someone without at least asking them ...
[ He probably would have been fine with it if he was asked (albeit with a lot of embarrassment and fumbling). Josuke's all for helping someone beat the effects of the poison, after all. ]
no subject
[Kamui's gaze slides from his new best friend to the last thing he ate and then back to Josuke, one brow raised inquisitively. When he'd seen the edible cottage, he hadn't stopped to ask questions before chowing down. Food, no matter what shape it may be molded into, is meant to be eaten, and he's just the Yato to do it.]
I wouldn't poison you with such an indirect method.
no subject
He's still blushing, reeling from being kissed so deeply, but trying his best return back to normal. ]
I mean -- the wall you just ate. It does some freaky things to people. That's probably why you suddenly felt like you wanted to kiss me.
[ Explaining this is so awkward. Help him. ]
no subject
He slams a fist into his open palm.]
Ah! So that's it! It wasn't you; it was the candy.
no subject
Ughhh. This is so tiring, somehow. ] Yeah. It wasn't me. [ Just stomp on his ego, why don't you. ]
You're taking this whole thing really well, huh?
no subject
Why wouldn't I be? When you said I was poisoned, I thought you were talking about something serious. A side-effect like that is nothing.
no subject
But, you know, if you ever feel like kissing someone again you should really talk to them about it first. Doing this randomly can upset some people. You're lucky I'm a laid-back guy.
[ Even if easily embarrassed. ]
no subject
[He nods, as if that's actually supposed to be reassuring. If Josuke's point was the importance of consent, than Kamui's missed it entirely.]
You look like you have some decent muscle. Can you fight?
1/2
[ shut up josuke. ]
no subject
Aah, I guess ...? Why are you asking?
[ This guy couldn't actually be thinking of fighting him for no reason, right ... ]
no subject
Josuke is the guy, the guy he wants to kick. Solely because Josuke looks like he might be strong. That's all the reason Kamui's ever needed.
So when Josuke makes it clear he hasn't caught on to Kamui's motives, his eyes narrow into condescending slits. Though his grin persists, there's an edge to it now. He sounds like he's joking, but he's definitely not.]
Because if you're still this laid back when I start attacking you, I'll kill you right away.
no subject
But he's been in enough fights to know when danger is afoot, and he's feeling it now. Definitely feeling it. He won't start the fight, but he doesn't want to be hit either, so he prepares himself to call out his Stand. ]
There's no reason we have to fight. If you're angry that I scolded you, we can talk about it.
no subject
I'd only be angry if you lost for a stupid reason, but it looks like you have good instincts after all. Don't you want to see just how good they really are?
no subject
But you look like the sorta guy who's bad at taking 'No' for an answer ... [ It's safer for him to call out his Stand right now. Crazy Diamond's got all the strength and defensive capabilities; Josuke himself is really only as strong as an athletically fit and muscular human. A large pink ghost seems to phase out of Josuke, standing behind him and mimicking his gestures. ]
I'm never this popular with guys. Can't say I'm very flattered. [ It's a joke but he also doesn't look to be in good humor.
Anyway, bring it. ]
no subject
If you've figured out that much, then this'll be simple.
[He points at his would-be opponent.]
Either you attack me with your cool toy, or I'll pierce your lung.
no subject
[ Nobody needs to know about your gamer problems, Josuke. Anyway, who would have thought he might be battling for his life for real instead -- Only, he's sort of used to this too, so beyond being on edge he isn't exactly scared either. While he doesn't want to fight, he can sort of sense that the choice isn't his to make. Now, to figure out a way to contain this other guy without escalating things too much. ]
I'd rather be doing literally anything other than this. [ He does not. Like to fight. ] I'll even eat some of that crappy food.
[ But they're here, and all his complaining is probably falling on death ears. That threat about piercing his lungs sounds completely serious, and he's not about to let that happen. Talk about a completely stupid way to die, and he hasn't even met the best friend he knows is here yet. ]
Crazy Diamond! [ Crazy Diamond will try its hand at punching Kamui directly in the face, hard and fast, hoping to knock the boy out so they can leave things as they are. It's got some considerable speed and power, being a close-range Stand. ]
no subject
Crazy Diamond (he decides the name is worth remembering) is undeniably fast. Kamui doesn't bother trying to dodge. He digs his heels into the ground and catches the stand's fist with his own. The two forces collide with no shortage of shock wave, and Kamui's parasol blows back. He pays it no mind, immediately closing in for a headbutt.
He may not know what this thing can do, but he's sure as hell not going to hold back because of a stupid reason like that.]
