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! |
A.
[Because that's what she thinks he is. Though, that's just a guess on her part. But Mythra is not going to let this child just keep yelling loudly and disrupting this already very weird and strange airship ride. Even if said child is a literal dragon.]
"Now anyways, why the hell are you freaking out about this 'Zero" person? If she's here, which she's probably not, it wouldn't take her long to find you, seeing that you stick out like a sore thumb. The screaming certainly doesn't help. Meanwhile, the rest of us don't exactly enjoy having to listen to your whining! So just, sit tight. You'll find her or you won't."
no subject
[He says that little bit a little snootily, something he takes great pride in. A titan. Harumph. Mikhail doesn't even know what that is.
Zero isn't here though. That's bad. That's very very bad, and the dragon shuffles his feet a moment. He needs to find Zero. Zero made it clear how important it was that he stick with her, and really, she's not going to be happy to have to rescue him from getting kidnapped or captured again. He doesn't even want to think about how angry that'd make her.
He doesn't want to think about it so much, in fact, that he immediately focuses on something else.]
H-Hey! I'm not whining!
no subject
[But, dragon, huh. She'd make a note of that one.]
"But if you aren't whining, what are you doing, exactly? Because that, right there, sure sounds like whining. Now are you gonna quit it, or not?"
no subject
[Despite his stubbornness, Mikhail knows he's whining. Knows that Zero would point out that he was whining too. So instead he concedes, laying on the floor of the airship in a rather ridiculous looking slump. He's probably blocking a hallway, but he pays that no mind.]
...Where are we? I don't think I've seen an airship like this before.
[Then again, he's only seen like one or two airships before in his life, anyway.]
no subject
[Torna. Tornan Warships, which could fly without a Titan. Torna, the continent that Amalthus had destroyed. And the last of these ships, the Monoceros, was destroyed by Amalthus too. All of this destruction, because of her.Even if on a factual level she knew that wasn't true... she still couldn't help the guilt. But this, dragon, didn't know about any of that. None of them did. She just had to put it aside.]
"Whatever. It doesn't matter."
no subject
[Mikhail raises his head a little bit at that, tilting it as he stares at Mithra.]
Why doesn't it matter? It sounds like it was a long time ago. ...Maybe this one will be fun.
[He can tell there's something bothering this weird lady, even if Mikhail doesn't know what it is. He tries to sound a little more confident about it being fun. To try and make it as if it would be so, if he said it that way.]
no subject
"And it doesn't matter because even if I did talk about it, you'd have no idea what I was even saying."
no subject
[No. He has absolutely no chance of understanding.
That doesn't mean he won't try.]
no subject
"Sure you can."
[She decides to just, give him a small scratch between his horns. That'll distract him, maybe.]
no subject
[Some of the time, a little. Still, he sure does like that scratching, and leans his head into it.]
no subject
[That was a good enough way to put it so he'd stop pestering her, though, Torna wasn't really her homeland. She'd fought to defend it, but that's because that was what Addam wanted. Her home lied in Elysium, and well... the less said about it, the better.]
no subject
[He's getting a little off track here, and knows that at least.]</small. What was your homeland like?
no subject
[Though, it was nothing compared to Elysium. Although, both were places she could never really return to.]
no subject
[He can actually understand that, a little.]
Some of the castles Zero and I went to looked nice, and I liked the ocean. Buuut you can't really enjoy something when people are yelling at you. Or shooting at you.
So...you're a soldier?
[Or maybe a hero, like Zero. Well. Kind of like Zero. Mikhail's pretty sure Zero means the best, but he wouldn't say he's a hundred percent sure.]
no subject
[Though she also hadn’t fought in an actual war for 500 years. Her and Rex’s debacle with Malos and the remnants of Torna didn’t really count. didn’t really count. But, details.]
no subject
[The baby dragon quirks his head a little. There's no malice in his tone; he's simply, truly curious.]
