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! |

Though I suppose if you want to be positive we might be some kind of hero of the land instead, ah... But I don't really like those sorts of ridiculous video game insert fantasy stories. Games are okay but living that sort of life is just....
[He shook his head and sighed deeply. He couldn't think of many books in that genre he liked that much.]
no subject
A-anyway, I know it's all crazy and a lot to take in. I mean me? A hero? I don't see myself as being good at anything like that. But maybe we can use it as an opportunity to find a way back to our homes, right? We can all do that if we work together!
no subject
As for getting home, more information is needed. Though, I don't have much back home anyway, so I don't mind waiting.
no subject
You're right. We need to find out more. But we're in no rush. We'll have plenty of time to do that! [He doesn't have much back home? She's......kind of curious about that but it might be rude to ask that.]
no subject
[It seemed like he had an obvious preference.]
Perhaps, if we are here to kill each other it would be best to figure out a way to get out before we did, it have to kill someone. Personally I would rather not have to be a murderer.
no subject
However, that thought goes out of Kaede's mind as soon as she hears what Komaeda has to say next.]
Huh?!
W-wait a second! We're here to help out the people in this world, not kill each other! [Oh boy she doesn't know where he got this idea from but she's getting uh....nasty reminders of Back. Home.]
no subject
[His tone was a bit more irritated and he sighed deeply.]
I really don't like self insert set ups....
no subject
no subject
[Was she a fool to think otherwise? That was a given!]
But, you should always be prepared for the worst. So we can investigate and see what is going on, but consider things can quickly fall apart.
I meant not impossible earlier. Drat.
[Well, he's right that things can go wrong. However, that part about being told to murder each other.]
L-look, Komaeda-kun, there's no reason to think that they are going to tell us to kill each other! Not at the moment, anyway. And.....[And her voice goes quiet.] even if they are planning that, I won't let them! [She will make sure that everyone can get out of here. It would terrify her and she would not want to go through that again, but she cannot give up now.]
Anyway, whatever we're here for, we have time to find that out. In the meantime, we should settle down and get to know each other, since we're both housemates. [And she gives a smile. Komaeda is one weird and rather negative-sounding guy but he might not be a bad person. Hopefully not, anyway.] I'm Kaede Akamatsu!
So, ummm.....[Let's see what conversation she can start with in order to avoid talking about murders because that is just depressing and upsetting.] Komaeda-kun, where are you from?
Oh well.
[He said it with a sigh, like it was just a bother. It was true though, they should at least get to know each other. However, if things went bad he doubted she could do anything about it.]
Hmmm... nowhere interesting or noteworthy. What about yourself?
no subject
Or….maybe you can tell me a bit about yourself? Like what you like doing or what your favourite food is! [Since they’re going to live in the same building for a bit and she’d rather get along than not!]
Oh, and I'm from Japan! [And from the name, Komaeda is almost certainly Japanese himself. Unless he's from another world where he has a similar culture. That's always possible.]
no subject
[It felt redundant to state otherwise.]
Is this like a class introduction?
Well, I enjoy reading, and salty things. I'm generally open to a lot though.
DRV3 spoilers now probably since I know my canon point
A class introduction? Well, I guess it's like that a little. But I think if we all become friends here, our time in this world and whatever comes at us will be much easier to handle!
Oh hey, you like reading? Maybe you can tell me what your favourite type of book is! I think mine is any story which has music as part of the plot!
