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! |
Kefka Palazzo | Final Fantasy VI
[This place stinks. Like, literally reeks. That's Kefka's first thought, at the very least. Smells like old bummy mattress and dust webs and, worst of all perhaps, people. Still, he can't help but smile, but laugh, at the situation as he takes it in. A god, throwing destruction and judgment down on all the puny little worthless lives, stuck slumming it back out with them in some make shift, rinky dink airship.
Oh that's funny. That is, in fact, rich.
You'll have to excuse the jester laughing his head off for a moment. Usually, you'd think it'd be the job of the jester to elicit the chuckles, but getting a look at the him better...perhaps he's not the type one would often laugh at.
And if he catches anyone staring, he simply stops his laughter, biting his lip to stiffle it. And smiles back at the staring party, far far too wide.]
What's the matter? Cat got your tongue?
Prompt C
[And now the jester's on the move, stalking through the airship. The sensation is hardly new to Kefka, where it might be perhaps a bit more new, and even unsettling to others. It was boring, really, which is why it needed to be spiced up.
He slinks along the halls and rooms of the airship, managing, somehow, to often move just out of sight of his intended targets, at least, once he finds them. And when he does find them, well.
There Kefka is, immediately behind them, head craned to be right beside them.]
Now what's this?
[He says, in a mock interested tone.]
Far from home, aren't we? First time you've been in the air? Don't worry. You'll get used to being a floater.
Prompt I
[Burning people, Kefka had found, was often far more rewarding and entertaining than burning monsters. Of course, things being what they were, he'd have to wait just a little while, perhaps, before he could get the most out of that. Kefka supposed he could try to burn a few weaklings back to the worthless dust and ash they were, but with just how many goodie two-shoes were around....
It would be better to bide his time for maximum effect. Destruction was fun by its very nature. Even if he could wreak havoc only for a little while, well, he would take it, but to have it ended just too quickly, that'd be a tragedy. Or a comedy. They were interchangable, were the some thing, when you really got right down to brass tacks.
Still, even Kefka had to admit that hunting these poor slobs of monsters...geezards, they were called?...wasn't entirely without amusement. Even with how much his own power had been diminished -taking a 'job', having to regain it and all that paperwork work work, how ridiculous, the creatures were falling - and fleeing - from him at a delightful pace. Kefka cackles as he flings another ball of fire at one.]
What's wrong? Need to run already? But it's too soon and we're practically burning daylight with the fun we're having!
Prompt J
[Throw whatever you want at me!]
A
Oh! I am dreadfully sorry for staring. Most don't take this all so very- erm. Well? [ This is taking it well, right? Right? ]
no subject
[Worlds, stars, people, countries...all rubbish. All trash that we want to pretend is distinct from each other when it's not. One world might as well be another. It's full of the same pointless trash.]
But what about you? Did you get dragged in here too? Or have you always been part of the welcoming committee?
c
We're all... far from home, aren't we? ( though it wasn't her first time on an airship. at least... she didn't think it was. )
no subject
Oh, home's anywhere you want it to be.
[Interchangable, like anything else. Nothing interesting about it at all, something also just fated for destruction.]
And some people look like they're comfy down there.
[It's disgusting.]
no subject
and in the meantime, she'll humour this clown. a clown who seems to not have any ill intentions... so far. perhaps those were left in the wars? )
That may be true, but... still, there must be a way for us to return to our homeworlds. ( beat up a god. beat up countless other heroes... there was usually a way, right? )
Though I'm sure... some may want to stay here.
no subject
[The clown asks, swinging his legs up on top of a nearby barrel, one after the other. Squatting on it, as if he's planning to leap from it at a moment's notice in some bizarre acrobatic maneuver. Or a tackle.]
It's a whole new world! New sights to see, new people to meet, new bridges to burn~
[And people to burn. And towns. And cities. And countries.
A whole new pyre to set a light. Why. Kefka is even beginning to get a little truly excited now, at the thought.]
