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! |
no subject
Whatever you say.
[He doesn't even move to dodge it; no automatically doing so, either. He couldn't even if he tried. But he laughs as that punch connects, despite the little 'ow' that preceded it.
He takes the lead, looking around for anyone who seems a little less confused than the general populous of the infirmary.]
no subject
Revenge will be swift.]
I do say it.
[If he focuses on Noct, he'll freak out less. That's always better than him freaking out because he thinks better when his mind is clear. He walks beside him, looking around for someone who knows what they're doing.]
I couldn't dream of lying to the king, right?
[So little respect on the title. If they were paying him to be respectful, he'd have to quit his job.]
no subject
The prank wars of 2018, go~]
Well, maybe you wouldn't.
[He smirks, grateful for that bit of disrespect. If Prompto was 'respectful' about it he'd start worrying about a certain ancestor of his again.
Still, he's not seeing anyone. Just a lot of confused people. So instead, he focuses on anything that might resemble a map or noticeboard.]
no subject
Maybe. Man, you know what sucks?
[Because he's nervous so he's going to ramble to distract himself and it's going to be about stupid nonsense.
Noctis is so lucky.]
I can't have any blackmail on you because you have all the blackmail on me too.
[He grumbles a little.] Also, half the stuff we'd get in trouble for we did together.
no subject
Like Ignis doesn't do that secret veggies thing, anyway.]Huh, what?
[Noct pauses, turning slightly towards him as he rambles on and on. He's so lucky and Prompto likely doesn't realize just how much. he'll take that rambling and really just, you know, enable it.]
Whatever will we do about that...
[He smirks.]
Well, clearly we're going to have to work on it. [Will probably have plenty of time for it, too. Depending on how long they're stuck wherever they're going.]
no subject
Nah, it's better to have you to do things with. More fun.
[He grins and tries not to be to unnerved about the whole being kidnapped, not knowing where he is thing. For the third time. He'll talk Noct's ear off if that's what he wants because he doesn't know for how long he's going to miss him when they get back.]
no subject
Do they even HAVE glitter in Vaikuntha?]Heh, fair. Though who knows? Some things just happen.
[No, he totally isn't plotting something. What're you-
And he stops. Pointing up ahead.]
Is that a map on the wall?
no subject
Sure they do. Funny enough since high school these things just happen to happen while you're around. Why do you think that is?
[Is Noct a bad influence?]
Uhhh, yeah, looks like it. Where do you think we are? [A pause, and he swallows.] Gralea?
no subject
Funny, because I was gonna say the same thing about when you're around.
[They both are. To each other. RIP Ignis' remaining sanity.]
Doubt it. Never found a map when I got separated from Ignis and Gladio. [Though the similarities in decor - minus all the lacking imperial symbology - is kind of... well, off-putting.
He walks over to investigate it.]
Looks like some kind of map for a ship. [It even has a nice "you are here" sticker on it. Isn't that sweet?
What he doesn't notice is that there's a note tacked on at the bottom. Most of it is in chicken scratch and certainly not in Lucian or any sort of Eosian text.]
no subject
Uh huh. [He smirks at Noctis. Yeah. They both kind of are, and the fact they're not fifteen anymore doesn't seem to matter. Hopefully they'll make it out alive, after Ignis is done with them.]
Don't look at me, I can't navigate it either.
[A ship?] We're on the water?
[Oh Prompto, so sweet, so innocent. Don't tell him Noct. He doesn't see the note either, busy looking at the layout of the ship.]
no subject
Actually, no he doesn't. Nope. Not at all. Because kind of a sore spot right now. One day they'll act their age. Today is not that day.]
Somehow I doubt that, or we'd be able to feel the rocking of the waves...
[And yet no turbulence, either. Huh. Though if anything, this almost looks like some kind of airship.
... And this is the day they are glad they aren't playing a tabletop game. Both failing their perception checks.]
no subject
What if it's a really big ship, would we still feel it?
[Come on bro, don't tell him he's flying through the air about to fall to his death because he's having enough problems as it is. Blissful ignorance is best. Stay away from the windows.
Perception check is a failure.
In a tabletop game, they're about to be snuck on by a behemoth.]no subject
That's- not how physics works, Prom.
[Well, they aren't falling to their deaths??? Maybe??? Though he finally looks to the right and his eyes widen.
If only Behemoth-senpai would notice them...]Uh, Prompto...? [Please tell him he's seeing that right. Is that a large window viewing of the STARS?]
no subject
Well I don't want to know what the alternative is.
[Noctis, can't you even let him lie to himself so he doesn't have to worry about falling to a fiery death?]
By the Six! [He gasps at the stars.]
Oh Astrals, we're going to die! [Look what you did Noct.]
