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! |
Stitch | Kingdom Hearts
[Black silk is a new look, but the running and jumping and climbing and sneaking is right up Stitch's alley - even if the guild was a little reluctant to enlist a 'weird blue talking dog'.]
With a shiny new Ninja asterisk to their name, the handful of new recruits waste no time in putting their agility to use - with the smallest of them keeping up easily. It's not long at all before they're racing through a crowded market, leaping over stalls and sliding under tables, with a small but heavy alien whooping in the lead!
Stalk is Cheap - (E. LET'S BE ADVENTURERS)
[No better way to learn than by doing - and what a ninja does is stealth! Thankfully, there's no shortage of forest, and low-level monsters to practice on. Which is what Stitch is doing, peeking from behind a tree at a small pack of goblins...though he hasn't yet noticed the goblin scout sneaking up on him in turn. This could get nasty.]
E!
She'd been fending off low-level monsters for awhile, and was about to move on when her Dragoon passive ability allowed her to sense something nearby. She turns in the direction, noticing a goblin about to strike a would-be (albeit odd looking) adventurer from behind and ready to strike. That's just low!]
Watch out!
[she shouts as the goblin sets to strike, letting off a Ruin spell in its direction, hitting it in the face and causing it to run crying from the pain. It's very likely the commotion scared off the other goblins too. She dashes over to Stitch and kneels in front of him. Awww, how cute! Oh right, stay focused!]
Are you okay? You're not hurt are you?
Re: E!
On the plus side, the timely assistance saves the little blue alien a nasty spear to the back! His ears perk up as he realizes what just happened and laughs at the sight of the retreating goblins, scooping up a rock and throwing it in their general direction.]
Yu porma dissy! Detaka!
[He realizes the human is looking over him and matches her glance, tilting his head to the side. Aside from some dust on his black ninja getup, he seems fine.]
Takka! You saved me. Are you - adventurer?
no subject
She honestly was worried she had ruined his quest by doing so, so wasn't entirely sure she was going to get a positive reaction, but was glad he was okay and happy she helped.]
That's okay. Glad to see you're alright! Yes! I'm an adventurer too! Hmm.
[she doesn't feel right just leaving him to it, and she still feels bad at ruining what could have been a lot of experience for him.]
Would you like to team up? I'm sorta new to this way of fighting. [a beat] Oh, my name is Minako, what can I call you?
no subject
My name Stitch! Thank you. Goblins weak, but sneaky.
[A stand-up fight hadn't been in his plans - even running across the goblins was a stroke of luck while he practiced his sneaking in the forest - but far be it from a pint-size weapon of wanton destruction to turn down the opportunity for some mayhem! And it brings back some good memories of his first friends.]
El kiyotay! I ninja - [He pulls out a fistful of small-sized shuriken, really more toy-sized than serious weapons, though the gleam in his eye seems serious. And maybe a little demented.] How you fight?
E!
[Especially when it also comes to noticing nearby threats. You don't get to be the head of an Assassin's guild without learning how to observe your surroundings.]
[Thankfully, the goblin goes down pretty easily with a well-placed strike.
Nobody ever accused Rose of being sloppy when it came to her job.]
Hey, you might wanna be more careful next time. Any longer, and you would've been goblin food.
