☆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

[Of course it's the first thing out of Riku's mouth when sees Sora in his dreams.
But this... this isn't quite a dream. No, it's not his. It's Sora's. Riku has experience being Sora's dreams, being his best friend's Dream Eater while the took their their exam for Mastery under Yen Sid's watch.
He can't help but smile. After so long of no contact, he's finally found Sora.]
Sora! Hey, doofus!
[He races to the tree, his eyes feel a little wet. But Sora's been missing for a few months now. He's allowed to feel joy at seeing him again. He's not going to cry though.]
no subject
Sora turns slowly, brings himself down from the tree and back onto the sand. The look on his face is astonished, mesmerized as this boy closes the distance between them until he's pretty much standing right in front of him.
Riku. He looks a little different from the visions he'd had of him already. Taller, older, a different haircut, but the eyes are the same. This dream is different. Sora doesn't know why, but it is, he can tell. It feels more real than the others. He feels more like a part of this one and less like he's just watching.
Riku may not be going to cry, but there are a few tears in Sora's eyes. He feels them, but doesn't know why they're there. He wipes them away hastily and ends up laughing, a relieved smile spreading across his face.]
It's... It's you! Is it really you? Are you really Riku?
no subject
[Of course Sora's crying. He reaches out, takes Sora in his arms and hugs him close]
It's me. I found you.
[There's just so much relief in his being that he doesn't quite understand Sora's questions until a minute later. Slowly, reluctantly, he pulls back, holding the shorter boy the shoulder, looking into his eyes.]
Sora, do you remember Kairi? Micky? Donald and Goofy?
[It wouldn't be the first time that Sora's had his mind messed with. And frankly, Riku's tired of others messing with Sora. From the Organization to Xehanort, to whoever did this to Sora now. Riku's going to do something about it. He's going to start right now.]
What do you remember?
no subject
Sora hugs him back briefly, before Riku pulls back to look at him. And Sora can see his eyes up close. The feelings and images that keep trying to reach him are almost overwhelming to try and sort through when his programming is simultaneously trying to block everything out. His expression ends up looking pained, his brows furrowed.]
I've only heard your name, and Kairi's... Is she okay? Are you okay? The last time I dreamed about you guys, she'd lost her heart... And you... You weren't you.
no subject
Kairi's fine. She's asleep. I doubt she's dreaming. She had a hard day of training.
You'd be proud of her if you saw her.
[Okay, so he's regaining memories it sounds like. He's had multiple dreams about them. That's good. And Sora's heart is strong, he's confident that Sora can fight this brainwashing.]
And I'm okay. Those dreams you're having now? They took place a couple years ago. I... I'm not proud of what happened, but we're okay now.
no subject
For some reason he can't explain, he picks up on Riku's guilt easily. And he feels sympathy for him, and admiration, even though he barely knows him.]
Well, I'm glad to know you're both okay. And to get to see you again, and this place too... It feels really familiar. We were here in one of my dreams...
no subject
I've been in your dreams before like this, that's probably why. I've been in your heart even.
[He slides a hand from Sora's shoulder to his right hand. He takes it and squeezes gently. He looks down at it before he starts to speak again]
I haven't always been the best friend. I screwed up a lot. And when you regain those memories you'll see just how much I did. But know I'll always be there for you. Even if I'm not physically there. Know I'm there for you, in spirit if nothing else.
no subject
He smiles as Riku takes his hand, looking down at their joined hands as well, and he continues listening to what he has to say.]
I know you are, and I'm with you too. And you're a good person, Riku. I know that. I don't have to remember everything we may have been through together or whatever you may have done. I can feel it. You're a good person. And a good friend.
no subject
[He squeezes Sora's hand]
I promise I'll be there as soon as possible. Please, wait for me.
