☆RESCUER TEST DRIVE: DIGITAL LOVE
☆WELCOME RESCUERS
Welcome to Interstellar's first ever RESCUER TDM! A part of the Interstellar plot that has just opened up, this covers the entrance of those recruited by the lone space pilot Shep to join him on a mission to the planet Terra to rescue those held captive by Pride Records and Virgo Entertainment. Rescuers will not suffer any memory loss and will enter the game as they are, in contrast to the memory loss/force humanization of the musician half. Powers will be nerfed to a certain degree upon entering the game fully, but during recruitment they will remain at full power.☆A DREAM ABOUT YOUThese prompts are designed to be game canon, for both rescuers and musicians both new and already in game. For those in game, they will start occurring around New Years in the form of dreams. The dreams will be very clear while happening, but after waking, they will swiftly fade away into something barely remembered. For rescuers, these dreams will occur very shortly before they are approached by Shep or other already recruited rebels to join the rescue squad and go save the people being held captive in Vista City. Rescuers will remember these dreams as clearly as something that actually happened in real life.
Both of these prompts take place in the dreamscape, ostensibly, and the surrounding will appear as whatever fits those taking part in a scene. It can shift and change as a thread goes along, as well, and may resemble things from a captive's home, the game setting, or anything else appropriate.
►A1) FOR THE CAPTURED: The kidnapped musicians of Vista City will dream of being themselves - in a way more true than they have been for months now. They'll dream of themselves as they're meant to be, in physical form and manner of dress, and their personality will align more easily with their true nature, even as the confusing influences of their programming nag at their mind. It could alarm them, or it could feel somehow natural. Either way, their memories will still be gone, except for what they've recovered - but they feel somehow much closer to reach, like they may break through if only given the chance to dig just about deeper. They may dream of home, they may dream of Vista, but either way...when the morning comes, their memories of this experience will be all but wiped away. Including the memories of the strangers that promised that they would find them and take them home.
►A2) FOR THE RESCUERS: The dream is the first sign of something being wrong. You'll find yourself somewhere else - either a scene from your home, or someone else's, or an alien world you've never seen. In this dream, you'll find a person. Perhaps it's someone you recognize, someone you love dearly, but that doesn't remember you. Maybe it's a stranger, lost, confused, and desperate for help. Either way, you find yourself reaching out to them - but outside of this dream, you are helpless to save them. The dream will fade but stay with you in your memory, and may be a key component in you choosing to believe and join the other rescuers when they come to your door. Something has been taken, and you will take it back.☆MAKE THESE DREAMS COME TRUEThese prompts are design to be kept as game canon after acceptance, and can be used as the official story of how your character entered the game. Importantly, the technology used to enter your timeline causes massive time distortions, which means that the outcome of this scenario will stagger and replay itself multiple times before settling on an outcome. This means that after the fact, you character may remember being encountered multiple ways, or going in more than one direction, before the timeline settled on a final path.
►B1) JUST SAY YES: Soon after these dreams, rescuers will find themselves in a strange situation. Time will abruptly stop for every part of the world except for them, and fade into a ghostly vision of its former self - just in time for them to be approached by some mysterious strangers. Whether your rescuer chooses to run, fight, or talk, eventually they'll be told the truth - people of the multiverse have been captured and taken to a universe far away to be harvested for their souls...in the form of forcing them to becoming rock stars. You heard it here first, folks.
The people recruiting you will mostly be other player rescuers that have already been recruited (regardless of whether or not that's been threaded out - you can assume your guy got recruited by someone if you want to recruit OTHER people.) The pilot and owner of the space ship doing this appears to be a blue man named Shep. He's the guy that's apparently in charge of this whole thing, but he's so busy with the dimension hopping that he's kind of hard to find and talk to. He presumably recruited some of the first members personally, but things have been sort of getting more complicated since then.
►B2) INTERSTELLAR DISCO: After you've agreed to come for whatever reason - to save you lover, friend, some guy, whatever - you're be taken upon the guitar shaped spaceship to wait out the tide of the temporal distortions picking you up has caused. It's a long journey back to Vista City, and you've got plenty of new comrades to get to know. This mission could take a while, so you better get comfy. You're in for the long haul now.
NOTE: If you want to see the interior of the spaceship (or if you want to see Shep dance) watch the music video posted up top. It's going to be a fair bit bigger in Interstellar to accommodate the big crew, but the essence is there.☆HELPFUL INFO► Follow the mod plurk for updates:interstellar5555

Eda | Black Lagoon
[Ok, this place ain't the Yellow Flag, but she'll deal with it. (It's not like she feels bothered dancing on the bar of a unfamiliar club she's hasn't been in, but whatever.) But she feels that's she's here for a purpose, to distract those people that look spaced out. Matter of fact, here's one right here... she kneels down, smirks at the person...]
Why the long face, sweetie?
B1: i hear thunder, but there's no rain
[When she wakes up, she can't explain it. The scenery is all... blurry. Add to that there's the unfamiliar people near her bed. She quickly pulls out her gun from under her pillow.]
Who are all you fuckers?
Re: Eda | Black Lagoon
I don’t mean you any harm. My name is Shingo Izumi. I'm a detective but that's not important right now. I'm here to get your help.
[He meets her eyes, and he is plainly a little nervous, but he stands his ground.] Can you hear me out for just a moment please?
no subject
[The boy looks fresh faced, too innocent to be in this city. Also Eda's never him before.]
You have 5 minutes. Start talking.
no subject
no subject
[Sorry kid, selfishness is her thing.]
B1
[Although Mammon doesn't seem to be too bothered by this fact. Their childish face is even schooled into what might best be described as a sulky pout.]
Mammon. That's not important. Someone wants to recruit you for a rescue mission.
[Just by the way they talk, it's obvious they aren't that "someone".]
no subject
A rescue mission? Give me more specifics here.
no subject
Fair warning: it's going to sound absurd. [Probably. But there, that's the warning, and Mammon forges on.] Some ridiculous fools have kidnapped people across multiple dimensions and timelines to brainwash them into becoming famous musicians.
[They really hate having to actually say that explanation out loud.]
no subject
[Seriously, what the fuck is this bullshit? But her reaction is merely an eyebrow.]
You weren't kidding about that... is there anything out of this rescue mission?
no subject
[Because they can understand that. It's practically the only reason they're going.]
no subject
[Like that's obvious.]
no subject
[Finally, someone with some common sense.]
No, but this is dealing with celebrities and the rich.
[They'll let her connect the dots herself.]
no subject
So it's a rescue mission and and robbery. I can mess with that.
no subject
[Because Mammon sure isn't splitting anything they get.]
no subject
no subject
Grab what you need, and then I'll show you our transport.
no subject
[Normally she would question why the hell is she following a baby to a ship, but she'll just go with it.]
no subject
[Once she's done, Mammon guides her outside, and... Yep, that's a spaceship shaped like a guitar. She'll probably be happier if she doesn't question it.]
B1
Job recruiters, [he replied simply, already torn between liking this woman's reaction time and wanting to just slam the door behind him as he stormed out.]
Single contract, travel expenses paid for, and it's long term work.
...You don't get motion sick, do you?
no subject
Nah. Anything else you wish to tell me?
no subject
Expect to be out of town for a while. We're going through Space.
[As in on a space ship. Shaped like a guitar. Yes, it was very lame, but neither of them really had a say in it.]
Take it or leave it, your choice. But, you've the eyes of someone who wants to get out of town for a while.
no subject
...I get bored easily, I'm afraid.
no subject
"Rockstar Hell" can't be as boring as the same fights against the same people all the time.
no subject
Give me a little time, and I'll join ya.
no subject
Turning around, he made for the door.]
There isn't time to waste, so get yourself in order quickly.
I look forward to seeing you work.
