Test Drive Meme 2.





These are the mem’ries that last.
These are the mem’ries that will never pass.
And time waits for no one.
It’s gone in a flash.
And only the mem’ries will last.




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!


Extra:

Got something in mind? Want to play with the setting more? The sky's the limit, so feel free and make up your own prompts to play with!

Important dates to remember are May 1st, 9 PM EST, when Reserves will open, and May 7th, 9 PM EST when Applications will open. Keep an eye out for it! As a side note, TDM threads are not canon, so please feel free to assume established CR for the sake of the TDM if it will make threading or showing off your character's voice easier.

Correct. Though it is not like curses I have seen before, made of malice and evil, I believe it may be capable of being purified through my power.

To that end... [ and then she offers him up her slate ] Can you please take photographs of my attempt for recording? I can teach you how it works if you don't know how.

[This time, he perks up eagerly.] You can do that? It'd be great if you could bring the color back. We've been here just over a month and we're still not sure how it all works.

[Izuku takes the slate from her, turning it in his hands curiously.] Can you show me, just in case? I don't want to break it by pressing the wrong thing.

Ah, well... [ she smiles, reserved despite his eagerness. ] I don't want to make you any promises, but I'll do my best.

[ her power may have waned from the long length of time she had to use it to keep calamity ganon at bay - this isn't just a test for the color, but a test for herself. but anyway, she steps over to stand beside him as he holds the slate, the glowing blue eye in the center of the screen lit up. ]

The slate operates entirely by touching the screen in front of you. [ she quickly taps her index finger over it and the eye vanishes off. a display of icons appear. ] Click the very last one to the left to activate its photograph function. You then aim and click on a button to the left side to snap a quick photo - it's automatic and you can snap as many as you wish uninterrupted.

[ so, basically, just like any normal smartphone/tablet device, though she describes with an air of teaching to her - as if deku wouldn't possibly know how to use it without the lengthy explanation. ]

[She gets a reassuring smile this time.] That's okay. It's good enough that you're trying it. At least we'll know for sure if it works after this! That's still important information.

Oh, that's not too complicated. [Just like a tablet! Still, it's always better to check before he messes something up. Izuku holds the slate up, giving her a nod.]

Okay, I'm ready whenever you are.

[ she nods and takes quick steps away from him and back to the items. her hands clasp together in a prayer gesture, head bowed and eyes closed. a faint golden light begins to shine over her form and, after a few moments, she raises her head up to focus on the apple. her clasp breaks and her right hand extends to reach out to the apple, palm flat up, and the back of her hand glowing with a symbol that covers it.

yet after a few seconds of the apple glowing it suddenly stops, the beam of light fading away, and the apple still very much colorless.
]

Hm. I see...

[ either the apple is not cursed as she thought... or her power truly has waned. she isn't too sure yet which is which. ]
