TEST DRIVE MEME
  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. None of you know how you came to be here or where you are going, and the door to the cockpit is locked as the pilots focus on navigating the treacherous obstacles of the Dream Width. You might as well take this moment to introduce yourself to your fellow travelers. B. CURTI CENTER There’s an almost overwhelming aura of excitement in the tower as researchers rush to document this unprecedented number of interdimensional travelers. Over the commotion, the leaders of the Center struggle to explain, ‘Welcome to Vaikuntha. We don’t know why you’ve been brought here, but this is your new home.’ The staff will do their best to help the off-worlders settle in. They answer the questions they can, provide maps and pamphlets about the world 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 under the circumstances. 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. WILD CARD Feeling inspired to create your own prompt? The power is yours! |
Caster/Medea (AU) | Fate/ series
[This...this was not Earth. Even as her senses started to kick in, she could feel it. She had expected to be summoned as part of the Grail War. But something was off. She didn't feel a connection to a master. It's almost as if...she were normal? No, there's still something, but it's unfamiliar.
She held her head, eyes still closed as she tried to make sense of her surroundings. She needed more time to adjust, but refused. This was a situation she wanted to know about NOW!]
What...what is going on?
[D. Guilds]
[It was a no brainer she would stick with the more magically-inclined classes. Never wielding a sword or bow properly, to choose those meant death. However, she wasn't a fan of the outfit, preferring her old robes. She was staring at the hat. Nothing seemed that special about it.]
I am aware of a need to choose clothes carefully, but are we not allowed to choose our own clothes?
[F. Sidequests]
[She didn't like working with others. She wasn't even a fan of this group as they were making plans. But she had to. No one wanted to do these tasks like fighting a Malboro on their own; she sure didn't. So don't mind her while she is exploring a dungeon with a group, she is making notes on the map.]
Two routes left, though I advise going to the left. It could just lead to a dead end.
[I. Random Encounter]
[It was supposed to be simple, just gather a few materials and try to test them out for a little experiment. What could go wrong? Well how about a Behemoth currently lurking about within the forest, forcing Caster to hide from it. She was already pretty damaged, robes torn, and a scratch across her cheek. It was much faster than she predicted, and strong too. She was lucky to just get away. All she had to do was wait, and pray it looked away long enough for her to run.
...Although, if someone were to come across this beast and kill it, the spoils it carried could be valuable as well. Another tempting thought. But that was going to be plan B. She was too distracted by the lumbering beast to notice someone else approaching the area...]
[J. Wild Card]
[Reading was fun, right? ...Well not when it's work. And that was precisely why Caster buried herself in books within the library. One could also see a map too buried under there, with some notes scribbled onto there. What was she doing? Researching monsters and their weaknesses. Back in her time before she became a Servant, knowledge like this wasn't always recorded reliably. Sadly, the same could be said here as she has a few different answers on monsters.]
Beginning to wonder if this one even traveled here at all. [She grumbles as she crosses out the information.] Starting to see why many others choose to record this information for themselves.
D
Is it not normal to have someone pick out your clothes? I always leave that up to Uai!
Re: D
[Maybe she had yet to get her body adjusted properly to sense what was so special about it. Or maybe this really was a different world kind of deal she just didn't get.]
no subject
[Alyce tugs at her own uniform, beaming with pride. She's become a Puppet Master for the purpose of this TDM thread.]
I'm glad they provided clothes for us. I don't know much about picking my own clothes.
no subject
[And so will Caster, but she is confident she can master these new abilities with ease.]
no subject
[Alyce's big, silly grin returns.]
This is so cool! Oh hey! What are you learning? I'm going to learn about 'puppets!'
no subject
Black magic.
[Easier for her in the long-run really. She wanted the conversation to end there, but another glance at the child made her curious.]
Have you studied magic before?
J
But that didn't stop her from staring at a book and well...? Just kept on looking at it. If Caster looked closer, she could see that this young girl was drifting off to sleep.]
Re: J
So she did what she thought was necessary, grabbing her ruler and poking the kid in the arm.]
If you are going to sleep, at least do it somewhere more appropriate.
[Last thing she wanted was a torrent of snores to fill one of the only quiet places here.]
no subject
But when she felt the ruler by the arm, that's when she snapped right awake!]
I swear, I didn't eat those cookies! [She shouted before realizing where she was. Of course, she had to give an embarrassed look when she saw who the poker was]
...But at least I'm awake now though!
no subject
Yes and so is everyone else, like they should be. If you are going to fall asleep while reading, do it where it is more appropriate then.
