MEME #1: RANDOM MAGICAL EFFECTS

[divinefist]

THE RANDOM MAGICAL EFFECTS MEME

"Your teeth turn brick red and then you turn into a bear for a week."HOW:

1. Start a thread with your character.
2. Other characters reply and generate a random effect. If you need a scenario, RNG it.
     2b. OPTIONAL: generate your own random effect, just because.
3. Tag other characters, generate more stuff, etc.
4. Shenanigans.
5. Yes you still have loveless ears and aren't in your home world have fun with that.

SCENARIOS:

1. ADVENTURE: You have just reached the end of some ancient, mystical ruins in search of the magical artifact hidden deep within. Weird shit happens as soon as you try to take it (collapsing ruins/boulders/Indiana Jones theme optional).
2. CURSE: You have angered a wizard/witch/powerful faerie/omnipotent entity/incredibly stereotypical gypsy/all of the above, somehow, because you're probably a horrible person. The next day you discover you've been cursed.
3. SPELLCRAFT: You have acquired a magical spellbook and decide to test it on yourself or someone else. The results are probably not as desired.
4. OUCH: You were bitten by a werewolf/cat/bear/dog/falcon/tiger/whatever the hell else is in there. There may or may not be some additional side effects.
5. RITUALS: You attempt to consort with demons/other entities of questionable morality and fail spectacularly-- either the ritual backfires, or they just don't like you.
6. THE BEES: It is not actually magic but a science experiment gone horribly, horribly wrong.
7. LOST: You are lost. Loster than the people on Lost. You are lost for words for how lost you are. So lost.
8. DRUG-INDUCED: I'm freakin' out man...
9. LET'S DO THIS: Roll two more numbers. Both of those things just happened at the same time, somehow. If you roll a 9 again, roll two more numbers and keep stacking them (ex. you roll a 2 and 9, then you roll again to get 5 and 6, which means you combine 2, 5, and 6).
10. Writer's choice.

[Souji knows that it is most definitely Not Kyoto, and it is full of trees. Lots of trees. Unfortunately, trees are not what he was looking for]

Ehe... probably not - this forest can't be too big...

[dancinonthesky]

Too big?! We've been walking for hours!!

[She slumps down against a tree.]

What if it's some kind of never-ending forest trap?! That's happened before, you know! And who knows what else might have wandered in with us!! It'll pick us off one by one, and by the time the spell's broken, all that's gonna be left are a broken pair of glasses and -- and --

[Deep breath for dramatic effect. And also to figure out where the hell she's going with this.]

[coughcoughshank]

Never-ending forests only happen in stories.

[Souji sounds very matter-of-fact about this. Not unlike a know-it-all kid, despite being way too old for that.

He pats the sword thrust through his obi]

Besides, if there's trouble, I can take care of it.

[dancinonthesky]

But I don't want there to be trouble at aaaaaaalllll......Besides, I could take care of myself if only I - if only I....

[A sigh.]

.....I shouldn't complain. That makes things worse.

[coughcoughshank]

Well, it doesn't make it worse. But doesn't make it any better, either.

[He's pretty... matter-of-fact about that. Souji is not really good at 'comforting' unfortunately.

He offers her a hand up.]

I'm Souji.

[dancinonthesky]

Right....that's right, huh...

Ah, well!

[She looks at the hand, but stands up on her own, offering an almost apologetic smile.]

I'm Miyako. Inoue Miyako. Let's get out of here, Souji-san!

[coughcoughshank]

[He gives her a bright smile, and a firm nod]

Mm! We should maybe mark the path we've taken as we go, I suppose.

[dancinonthesky]

Right! And, and....

[She points up.]

You mark! I'll climb a tree and get our bearings!

[Walking over to the nearest tree now and grabbing hold of a branch.]

Who does this forest think it is?! It can't stop us!
