Prompt 1:
 t happens in a flash. One second you're wandering the Town, living your casual, day-to-day life, and the next? You're suddenly face to face with a sweet fairy godmother. She's beautiful, and kind, and warm-hearted, tutting at you gently and encouraging you to just "answer a few questions for me, dearie".
If you don't, she'll just keep following you around, so maybe you should just get it over with...?
The questions she asks, are, well... a little personal. Have you ever killed someone? Have you ever had sex? Have you ever been jealous of someone else? Have you ever stolen? Have you ever been unkind?
The questions go on and on in that vein, growing increasingly unfair, until there's one you just can't answer -- and then she sighs, shaking her head, and declares you "not pure of heart at all". And then she'll cast a curse on you, before disappearing in a poof of nothingness.
The curse can do any of the following things:
1. Force you to only speak the truth, no matter how you try.
2. Make your powers run amuck, no matter how competent you are with them otherwise.
3. Just generally remove your inhibitions, so that you'll do things you'd normally be convinced are a bad idea.
Of course, if you're totally pure of heart and can answer everything yes a la Disney princesses, you won't get cursed at all. She'll pat you on the head before disappearing, you lucky duck, you.
Prompt 2:
t comes upon you like an absolutely ridiculous urge, one that's surely the Town's doing -- one moment you're walking, the next, the moment you see someone else, you feel the urge to intensely, fiercely engage in an insults battle.
This can take the form of flowery Shakespearean insults, or a rap battle, or who knows what else -- all your character knows is that they desperately have to win this battle of insults with this total stranger. Get to it!
Prompt 3:
 he quest sits proudly and clearly on the quest post on the forum. It seems simple, too:
Quest 87
Beautify the Kraken
Requirements: Any two colors.
Surely you can manage that much! So off to the harbor you go to find a kraken. That's actually the easy part; the kraken will emerge to anyone wading into the woods.
The much harder part is...beautifying it. Good luck trying to put some lipstick on it as it tries to drag you down into the depths! How much eyeshadow would a kraken even need? Do you even have any make-up on you from this desolated Town?
Prompt 4:
here's something weird about the Town today. It's foggy, and dark, and gloomy, which is a far cry from the typical summer warmth... and oddly silent too, as if the fog is muffling all sound. It gets quieter the closer you get to the well, too... and it feels like something is watching you.
Which is because, quiet simply, something is. It's a small, white porcelain doll, without a face. It just appears wherever you walk, staring you down as you go. It won't move while you're watching it, but as soon as you turn around...
It's suddenly right there next to you.
It doesn't actually want to hurt you. It's just there, following you, constantly... how obnoxious, this isn't a horror film!

How could I refuse to escort such a cute girl? [ He dipped for a very exaggerated bow. ] It would be my pleasure- No, my honor, fair lady.
no subject
He'd seemed like a reliable enough person. Sure, he seemed a little intimidating but what's new? Everyone is intimidating to her.But his mood seems to change so quickly, it catches her completely off guard. Even more, the things he says............
It's embarrassing! Her cheeks begin to turn warm and pink and she fidgets, looking away for a moment to avoid eye contact but then meeting his eyes awkwardly and...Oh, now he's bowing? Well, she isn't unused to that and she returns the bow, small, graceful, and carefully practiced, )
O-oh... th-there's no need to be so... ( Polite? Kind? What's the word she's looking for, hmm.. ) That is... forgive me. ( She sounds so ungrateful! ) Th-thank you very much.
no subject
"No need to be so"... charming? [ He finished for her, with probably the last word that came to mind. ] Ho ho! Well, that's where you're wrong, my lady. It's not like I would even know how to turn my charm off. [ You can punch him, I promise. He's sturdy.
With all that said, he offered out his arm to her. ]
Anyway, we should stick together. I'm not sure how easy it'll be to find you if we get separated.
no subject
(Oh, hopefully he doesn't get the wrong idea!) )
Oh, dear...I-I wouldn't want you to. ( Because it's important to be yourself? Ah. She looks at his arm and then seems to look him over from head to do. ) H-how forward...
( But very, very hesitantly, she reaches to place a hand on his arm. She won't quite loop her arm with his just yet until she's certain she can trust him. )
I'll d-do my best to stay by your side.
no subject
Now those are words I like to hear! [ He pats his free hand over hers. ] I didn't think I'd be hearing that for at least a few more years... I mean- [ Ehem. ] You're in capable hands, my lady. The best, even!
[ Pause. ]
Where did you say you needed to go again...?
