Test Drive Meme II
  A. RETRIEVAL
Dreams fade slowly, and awareness returns in increments. The hum of machinery, the smell of recycled air, the murmurs of others waking up around you. The interior of the ship has been outfitted with cots for those Biggs and Wedge retrieve from the Dream Width. Outside of the makeshift infirmary, windows set into the walls of the worn lounge area offer a view of space. It’s time to meet your fellow new arrivals who have been brought together on Biggs and Wedge’s airship. The other newly-awakened people have no idea how they came to be here, but now's a good time as ever to introduce yourself to the others on the airship and glean what information you can. B. CURTI CENTER
The researchers at the Curti Center are not quite so unprepared as last time, but it is still obvious that they are struggling to understand the sudden influx of interdimensional travelers from the Dream Width. "Please step into the lobby for a quick survey. Perhaps there is some common thread we haven't discovered yet..." The staff will do their best to help the off-worlders settle in. They answer the questions they can, write down all proffered information they can about the arrivals' homeworlds, provide maps and pamphlets about Vaikuntha and the destinations within it, and even guide the arrivals to a neighborhood where housing has been provided for you. Yes, due to the strange influx of arrivals, you’ll be expected to share, but the Curti staff are doing the best they can, considering they are still housing the previous arrivals here on the island. Experiences like these bring people together. Perhaps you are the only one here from your world, but at least you are not alone in this experience. Others are right beside you, learning the same information, planning trips to visit the same new cities, checking out these Job things, and settling in to their new (temporary) homes. C. UP IN THE SKY
There’s a whole new world to explore. It’s almost enough to distract from the fact that there’s one place you can’t go- home. You are on an Airship, the main mode of transportation between the major cities of Vaikuntha. While the majority are owned by airlines, perhaps you hitched a ride with a friend that has their own. You can go anywhere in a matter of hours — One can only hope you don’t have motion sickness. D. GUILDS
Proud representatives of the Guild are lined up, ready to demonstrate their skills for the new initiates. Make sure to stay behind the designated line, this might get dangerous. So you want a new Job? You'll have to first travel to the Guilds, sign the papers, go through the orientation and introductory lectures, and get basic training. Afterwards, you can freely chat and practice with your fellow members, celebrating your new powers, and checking out your new wardrobe. E. LET'S BE ADVENTURERS
Separated from all of your material possessions, connections, and everything you know, and really, what you’re left with is time. Better try to make the most of it. Enough expository banter. It's explorin' time. Maybe instead of spending every day in your room, you'd rather spend it living it up in the city of Lavode, or betting on Chocobo Races in Sparks Goldsaucia. Or maybe you'd rather go and explore the caves and ruins near Arito. With Airships and Chocobos at your disposal, you can go nearly anywhere! F. SIDEQUESTS
Maybe you’re telling yourself, ‘I didn’t sign up for this.’ But wait, you did. At least it pays. It all started when you checked the Quest Board. All you wanted was a few gil to spend, and here you are in the wild, hunting for a Malboro Vine. Or maybe you are in some ancient and decrepit ruins looking for an artifact. Or you could be asked to be janitor for a week. Consider yourself lucky though, at least you don't have to do that alone. G. GET A JOB (THE OTHER KIND)
You’ve got a Job, but Claire keeps sighing and muttering about layabout space-people not earning their keep, so it might be time to seek out Employment as well. There are plenty of opportunities to earn some gil in Vaikuntha, no matter where you choose to settle down. Your iMog slate includes listing for employment opportunities. Hopefully you can find something you can live with so that you can start saving up for an airship or the security payment for your permanent housing. H. MOGNET *Ding!* You’ve got Mog-Mail! Thankfully, you can instantaneously chat with your friends around the world thanks to you iMog Slate. And unlike old-fashioned Moogle Letters, you can even send messages to everyone in a blink of an eye! However, despite the change in technology, the old tradition of Mognet Strikes have never gone away. Nobody knows any more whether the Moogles have legitimate reasons to go on strike or if they are just lazy. But today, Mognet is down, and to get information you have no choice but going to the public boards or risk message corruption and mishandling. I. RANDOM ENCOUNTER
The ground trembles, and out of nowhere, something hostile appears! You were minding your own business walking around, and suddenly monsters attacked you! Time to put to use the skills you've learned with your Jobs! Will you try to fight on your own or seek help? And remember, you die in random battle, you die FOR REAL. There’s no shame from running from enemies that are a higher level than you! J. CHOCOBO MADNESS
You look at the giant chicken, and the giant chicken looks back at you. Could this be the beginning of a beautiful relationship? The kind folks at the Chocobo Farm have provided you with the tools of the chocobo-catching trade: greens, a bridle, and more advice than you can remember. Time to go find your new steed. Or perhaps you have already captured a chocobo, and your friend has captured a chocobo, and now you'd like to bring some chicks into the equation. Chocobo breeding may be the minigame for you! K. WILD CARD
Feeling inspired to create your own prompt? The power is yours! |
Sasami Masaki Jurai | Tenchi Muyo!
It took Sasami a moment to wake up and when she did, she woke up with a start. Something didn't feel right at all. And she knew what it was when she looked in a mirror - there wasn't the reflection of what may be an older version of herself, but the eight-year-old kid she is now. But, if that was true...
"Wh... h-how am I alive?" she asked, confused, patting herself down. She feels warm, she can feel. She's alive, not a vessel. "...what's going on?"
Up in the Sky
"Wow, this is so amazing!"
Flying shouldn't be so awe-inspiring to Sasami - she had friends who could fly herself and she had a massive spaceship at home. But, this... this was different. This was the feeling of excitement and awe, because normal people from what should be a "backwater planet" could make something like this. It was certainly hope for the future.
"Isn't this fun?!"
Get A Job
Common train of thought should be that, being eight years old, she should be going to school and getting an education. However, Sasami isn't like that. She's spent plenty of time with education as it was and it didn't feel right to go to school when there were people who needed help. Help that she could offer if she wasn't in class.
Even more shocking was that there wasn't anywhere that could offer decent meals at all. It was settled then: Sasami was going to open up her own little restaurant!
Which is why you're seeing a little girl trying to fix up an old small building the best she could and having a hard time doing so.
"Um, excuse me, can I get your help with something?" She called out from a ladder, holding a banner of some kind.
Random Encounter
If you're out and about on some random errand or adventure, you're probably going to see the strangest sight of all - a tiny Magitek Knight fighting off Geezards. The armor looks a little too big for the figure and the Gunblade being used as a two-hander. But, the person inside it seems to be doing well.
And the battle cries it makes easily reveal that it's a young girl inside. Sasami has trudged around as a Magitek Knight.
"And stay down!" she shouted, watching the Geezard disappear and collecting the single Gil it dropped. "Whew... that's... three down! More to go...!"
Get a Job
hopefully this one won't literally need to beaten half to death tooOzen might not always act like it, but she does "like" children, even she isn't the nicest around them. And there's no reason for her to not hear her request]
What is it?
[She looks down with a rather intimidating face]
Re: Get a Job
I need to get this banner up. C-Can you hold this end while I get the other up?
[She offers Ozen the end she needs to be held.]
no subject
[Normally such a menial task wouldn't be worth her time, but considering her present circumstance in an unknown world, it wouldn't hurt to help.
The building is small enough and she's tall enough to not need anything more than a stool.]
What is this banner for?
no subject
[As Sasami climbs up her ladder to tie her end up, she turns to face Ozen]
I was a little dismayed to see a place that didn't have anywhere decent to eat at, so I figured I'd help in -- uh, could you tie the other end for me, please? -- that way, everyone, both us and the people who live here, will have a great meal!
no subject
[She hasn't heard of the exact terminology but the description is more or less a tavern.
Which is being run by a child...
...If Ozen didn't have complete control of her face it'd be be somewhere between disgusted and shocked. Being as she does however, it's still the expressionless look she had before helping her tie up the banner.]
Among the list of things a town like this needs, that isn't a priority.
What exactly do you intend on serving?
Random Encounter
Suddenly, one of the Geezards dropped to the ground, dead as a figure stood over it. A being with no head and dressed as a ninja stood there, wiping her forehead.
The thing is, she was completely invisible save for her clothing.
"Whew! That was tough!" Exclaimed Tooru. "Oh hey Sasami!"
Re: Random Encounter
Re: Random Encounter
"I'm still not used to seeing my reflection in a mirror," remarked Tooru with a shake of her head. "Being invisible really helps stealth and all."
Re: Random Encounter
Existential crisis nonewithstanding, she shook her head and changed the subject. “Maybe you’ll find a way to get it back!”
Re: Random Encounter
"At least ninja is basically what I do."
Re: Random Encounter
Re: Random Encounter
"You look way cooler than I do."
Re: Random Encounter
Re: Random Encounter
Tooru your idea of stealth is naked.
Re: Random Encounter
Re: Random Encounter
Tooru...
Re: Random Encounter
And Sasami’s face turns beet red.
“Tooru, you can’t do that! What if your powers go out?!”
