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! |
Re: Curti Center
"I know that we're stuck here but we were brought here for a reason and somebody has to know why, so excuse me for trying to get to the bottom of this whole mess instead of just blindly accepting that we're helpless!"

Then she was more ignorant than he thought.
"There's no reason. We just all have shit luck. Even you." His nose wrinkled derisively. "Don't you think if someone knew why and how we were here, they would have gone about sending us back by now?"
no subject
Honestly, though, there's no way this guy is serious. She can feel her blood boiling, his attitude really getting under her skin. She can't help but snap right back at him.
"Not if they wanted us here! Did you ever consider that, or were you too busy learning how to be a jerk?"
She may not be the best with insults, but, really, why else would they be here if someone didn't want them to be? After all she's been through recently, it really isn't a stretch to think that there may be some crazy mastermind behind all of this.
"Maybe it's possible that this is just some weird thing but it's more possible that it's not and that someone is controlling all of this, and if I can find out who that is then maybe I-"
Maybe she can what? Stop them? She's not strong, not like the rest of her friends are. Sure, she's a sorceress, but she hasn't really tapped into that power too much and, truth be told, she's a little scared to. Besides, who knows if her powers would even work here, the land which strips away abilities.
Her jaw clenches and she stares at him, not backing down but not finishing her sentence either. The fire in her eyes fades slightly as reality starts to crash back in around her, leaving her unsure of what to do.
no subject
In fact, he was genuinely considering Rinoa's argument. What if someone did want him here? He didn't know why anyone would want this lady, but he knew why people would want him. He'd been contracted before, trapped in a book, and now? Now? This was some bullshit.
As the fire faded from Rinoa, it grew in Snow. His own jaw clenched, his hands balled into fists, and his look became distant. Had the Grimm brothers somehow done this? Was someone trying to use him again? Snow wasn't convinced that any of these pitiful peons were truly aware of what was going on, but someone -- somewhere -- was. And he was going to find them.
... The loud wench could help, too, he supposed.
"If you're right... when I find the one responsible, theirs will be the first heart I eat on this world," he growled between grit teeth.
/strolls in 8 weeks late with starbucks
She's brought out of her thoughts suddenly by Snow's snarl and she looks at him in shock.
"Eat their hearts?" What the fuck was wrong with this guy? "That's a little extreme, don't you think? I'm not happy to be here either but that doesn't mean I'm about to go around murdering and eating people."
She really hopes he's joking or that it's a figure of speech or something, because he's starting to scare her a little.
Nbd
Obviously she would have preferred he not eat any part of anyone at all, but too bad so sad for her. He was a demon. And he didn't care what she thought about it.
