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!

Is there some reason whatever deity of this place didnt see favor in me?
You know what i dont care that much i mean what is so spanking great about green anyway.
Its not like its a crucial part of my identity or whatever.
[ man what side of the bed did he wake up on. ]
Sure i trust you john. We will get that hideous color *green* back in no time for whatever poor sap will want green.
Oh also you know how i knew it was you?
Because i remember that blue.
The blue that is your signature color.
[ yeah he's still bitter.. ]
no subject
it is not my fault green is not a thing yet!!
also i recognized you because of how you are typing and not because of your font color, doesn't that count for something?
no subject
I reckon its pretty thoughtful now that you mention it...
I never would have expected something like that to happen. Um i mean me to stand out like that in such a way.
no subject
really?
you are probably the only person i know who actually uses "reckon" in a sentence! not to mention the whole "I type like this and thats all there is to it."
kind of like i type like this.
and dave types like this because idk he thinks hes so cool or w/e
but jade! is always like this!! :D all the time and she is very recognizable and would be without green too
And then Rose is like Ms. Smartypants Perfect Grammar and Syntax Wizardry.
...so yeah. you stand out even without it.
1.2
Uh thats rather observant of you.
Do you frequently analyze other people like that?
Im frankly impressed.. no wonder you made such a top-notch leader of your group.
[ oh how nice he's calming down.. ]
no subject
Fuck the f guy!!!
[ oh ok nvm still a rowdy boy.. ]
no subject
[Jake holy shit why.]
anyway being a leader has nothing to do with analyzing people's typing styles, i just have talked to all of them way too much.
we haven't found the f guy yet though. just a heads up.
no subject
[ wow he just doesn't seem like that awkward banana yellow kid sitting on the platform anymore, does he? Something about this place has brought his feisty personality back. ]

You cant be too apprehensive about things like this john! You just gotta have faith in stuff like yourself and give it your best bravado.
[ Hmmmmm. ]
no subject
what are you talking about??
no subject
Idk what they are weirdo green guys but i was dangerously outnumbered.
If you ask me it was a bit unfair. Crikey i was in the middle of our duel before i got here so thats the worst part i dont even know the out come. Do i live or die? Haha i guess it doesnt really matter it isnt like any of my chummy bros were by my side to assist.
Whew nelley i didnt think i was heated about being sent off separate from the rest of the crew but i apparently i am and *now* im just more beelin about it. Not once did i complain! No siree i just gave it my absolute best because chatting with sir tavvysprite gave me a right kick in the ass about not being a debbie downer about fucking everything and idk just DO SHIT.
no subject
ok i have no idea what you are talking about. at all. with green guys or vriska or lord english or any of that.
tavvysprite as in like. tavros?
dude what in the fuck is going on?
no subject
Tell me this then.. what is it you do know about?
no subject
all of the glitchy shit and everyone else being gone so it was just me and roxy and terezi?
no subject
I dont understand but that sounds really awful.
[ a beat. ]
Hold it!
What happened to me then?
no subject
no subject
I reckon youre right.
I did a lot of sitting around beforehand though. I didnt really know what to make of it.. there was a tea party and a bunch of sprites working out all their lovey-dovey malarkey and i felt all sorts of misplaced as *per usual.*
Idk i just did my thing to prepare myself for the fight i was gonna have.
So i probably wasnt doing anything cool.
[ phew. ]
no subject
i think all of us kind of felt misplaced after a while jake. that is just how things go when you throw together a bunch of people from different sessions.
so i think even bothering to prepare and get ready is cool! it means we were all working together and even if you were by yourself that probably means we thought you could handle it.
[Like. He doesn't actually know but that sounds good, right?]
no subject
Perhaps.. but i also wonder if it was just an excuse to get me out of the picture.
I mean i suppose i comprehend since you all know eachother and are pals and what not.
I hardly had time to congregate with everyone before being sent to fight all them weirdo leprechaun folk.
Aw heck it shouldnt matter. At least some of you are all here and we have *plenty* of time to congregate now.
no subject
that's not really how friendship works.
but you're right! some of us are here. have you talked to dave yet?
[Because he doesn't realize Dirk's here yet and he's not sure sending Vriska at him.]
