Prompt 1:
 t’s a normal day in the Town – a little chilly, but otherwise sunny and relatively pleasant –which is what makes it all the more offensive that it’s once again up to no good.
This time?
It happens when you eat.
Eating anything red will cause you to grow – the more you eat, the more you grow. If you’re not careful, you could become absolutely massive. Eating anything blue will cause you to shrink – the more you eat, the more, again, you shrink. Don’t worry, though. Eating yellow foods will turn you back to normal.
Oh…and remember that foods aren’t always the colors you’re used to them being here.
Prompt 2:
t’s a good thing you’ve adjusted to the Town a bit! You’re probably wearing some of the classic peasant fashion that can be found and scavenged in the Town, whether for warmth or to give your poor regular clothes a break or because they’re covered in the blood of fairies… either way, here you are in some colorless, hideous grey peasant clothing of various types.
Which is why it’s all the worse when it suddenly has color again. Maybe it’s bright orange. Maybe it’s puce colored. Maybe it’s a horrifying mix of pink and purple. Either way, there’s no chance any of what you’re wearing matches.
You can definitely thank someone in the Town for this one.
Prompt 3:
 he quest sits proudly and simple on the quest post on the forum. It seems simple, too:
Quest 63
Retrieve a pair of fairy wings.
Requirements: Any two colors.
Surely you can manage that much! So off into the woods you go to find some fairies. Of course, they’re mean, nasty little buggers, full of various types of magic and tricks up their little fairy sleeves, so they won’t exactly be easy to take care of. But you finally manage. You’re victorious, and proudly have a defeated fairy in your hands.
… Yeah, of course you have to rip the wings off yourself if you want to bring them back. Anything less just won’t do. Gross.
This quest was way more trouble than it was worth.
Prompt 4:
he woods looms ominously over the Town pretty constantly… and that’s just something you have to get used to. But then, from the depths of the woods, in the darkness under the tree branches, there’s…a light. It’s a small, flickering light, as if from a lantern in the distance.
You…should go see what it is, right? There’s a strong, strong urge to do so. Maybe you think someone out there needs help. Maybe you think the person there has answers, or knows a way out.
Either way…the will-o-wisps will try to lure you deeply into the woods. Deeper, and deeper and deeper… until you slam right on into one of those golems, or banshees or hydras or many others. You can thank your fellow townspeople for their existence out there – but either way, they’re nasty and mean. Hopefully someone saw you wandering in there and followed to give you a hand, because chances are, you’ll need it.

Nodding, he does as instructed, stepping back a bit more.
He waits, watching her for whatever fantastic fighting technique such a lovely lady with such excellent taste in shirts is bound to possess! (He really can't help looking at those hearts, and he isn't the least bit sorry about it, either.)]

It's a bright silvery light that descends, wrapping around the monster and lighting the whole area up upon impact. A bit fancy, maybe, but Maya doesn't have too many Almighty spells under her belt with this particular Persona. ]
no subject
Next time I'll bring sunglasses.
[The hydra howls in pain, writhing as skin and scales are flayed from its body in a burst of almighty light, evaporating into nothingness. It's not dead yet, however, though the force of the blast is enough to dislodge it from the roots at last, and though its eyes have been blinded, and although if left on its own it would surely die soon enough, it makes a final lunge their way, snarling and snapping its fangs. Its aim isn't very good so it runs into a tree first...
Merlin takes another step back.]
Do that again, would you?
[He flashes a winning smile at Maya before turning his attention back to the hydra and making some sort of gesture with his staff. Where he'd been standing behind the tree, pink flowers had bloomed, and now they abruptly snake out in long floral vines to snare the creature's feet again for a moment - long enough for another glorious burst of light.]
no subject
Artemis!
[ And once more. She'd feel a little bad at the shriek of agony that follows, if she wasn't more than used to dealing with vicious monsters by now. Long before now, really. ]
