☆RESCUER TEST DRIVE: SOMETHING ABOUT US

☆WELCOME RESCUERS



Welcome to Interstellar's second RESCUER TDM! A part of the Interstellar plot that first opened a couple months ago, this TDM cover the second round of recruitment for those approached 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 YOU
These 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. Rescuers that are already in game can also end up in this dreamscape, and can run into both new musicians and new rescue team recruits.



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 TRUE
These 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.

Well, a lot of us have had weird visions and dreams and things for the last several months. I don't know if anyone else has seen the people from them in real life, though.

Oh, and there's this too.. [With a flash of light, his keyblade appears in his hand.] I can do that outside of my dreams now.

[All of this information is given in a somewhat matter-of-fact tone. If this is a dream, he doesn't have to worry about telling this guy any of this or what the consequences might be.]
radiant_bloom: (Why)

[personal profile] radiant_bloom 2016-02-27 08:07 am (UTC)(link)
"If I keep the secrets I know about the rest of you, I can still remind Sora who I am, right? I'm not afraid to take that risk. Sora would never put me in danger, and even if they find out my name, I'm not defenseless anymore, I can protect myself, and him."
tigermillionaire: (welp time to die)

[personal profile] tigermillionaire 2016-02-27 08:07 am (UTC)(link)
[He shakes his head a little, his eyes widening at that suggestion. It's obviously afraid just thinking about it.]

N-No! I...I can't go, they'll catch me, I can't...

[He doesn't pull away because he craves the comfort, but his hands shake in hers.]

I'm sorry...
radiant_bloom: (Happy)

I reserved! Kairi on one side, Utau on the other.

[personal profile] radiant_bloom 2016-02-27 08:10 am (UTC)(link)
She frowned a bit, trying to figure that out, then gave him a bright Kairi smile. "That's dream logic talking. We'll be together soon, either in the morning if the dream is messing with you, or not long after if I'm the one confused. But Sora, no matter when it is we see each other, I'm always with you. And you... you're always with me. And it'll take the both of us to keep an eye on Riku," she teased.

I'm Connie Maheswaran. I promise I won't be a burden!

[She seems determined on that front, fists clenching a bit. It's what she's been working towards, after all, so that even if she can't exactly be equal to magic space ladies who have powers and can materialize weapons... She can still be there for Steven like he has for her.]

What other places are near here, if you don't mind me asking?
missknight: (maheswaran (Constantly wanting to rebel but)

[personal profile] missknight 2016-02-27 08:20 am (UTC)(link)
Deflating at that, Connie nods hesitantly. It's sort of weird. By the time she had come onto the scene, Rose Quartz had already been dead for... over a decade, now. Everyone had already known. It doesn't feel right for her to be the one to re-deliver the news all over again.

"No... Her and Steven couldn't exist together, I guess. But he has her gem- the one on his stomach."

[...Thaat's a big sword. And a very pink lion.

He watches her for a bit, lightly amused at how fascinated she seems about being in space. He only vaguely remembered the Denliner, really. Mostly in sensations and a lot of shouting from someone that wasn't Ankh for once. This time he could properly enjoy it.

He comes up behind her, but still giving Lion a cautious couple feet for a gap. He bent over a bit to peek over her shoulder so she could see him in the reflection of the glass. Someone ought to help keep track of the kids, after all.]


Pretty cool, huh?
missknight: (crystalgemsicons) (I wish I could say "?????????" in)

[personal profile] missknight 2016-02-27 08:24 am (UTC)(link)
[Connie isn't sure what's weirdest about this dream, the fleeing pancakes or hearing Garnet yelp.]

[...Or helping Garnet get the fleeing pancake? No wonder her Mom has told her not to eat junk food before bed.]


You almost got it- quick, use your fork!

[personal profile] missknight 2016-02-27 08:26 am (UTC)(link)
[Just like she's been taught, Connie makes sure to give a nice firm shake.]

Nice to meet you, Frisk. Is... Asgore a friend of yours?

Greg just looks over the sea, red in the predawn light. "That's what I thought." The memories had hinted in that direction. And he'd never seen Steven and her (Rose, he has to hold on to her name, it's Rose) together. One hand of his rests over his stomach.

"How'd you meet him? He doesn't go to school, does he?"

A2)It is strange for her to dream. She has to wonder if she ever dreamed before? Sometimes it could be hard to tell when all of time is in your head at once- head being used figuratively here, of course. She's a great big blue box. She isn't programmed to speak, or dream, as far as she knows. But she's a very intelligent machine, if you could call her something so simple. Maybe she's changing somehow. Or breaking down. She is ancient at this point.

But in this dream she doesn't look old. She looks fairly young, even. Yes, this body is from when they flew to that other dimension. When they fly? She's pretty sure that it is supposed to be the future, at least for her Thief.

And that is who she sees, her Thief, The Doctor. He had always been a wild man, but this was wrong. He doesn't do this... does he? With all of time flowing around her, sometimes it was hard to pick out a particular moment, but she knew this feels wrong. "Thief! Thief! What are you doing!?"

In the waking world her poor Thief is getting wild warning sirens over what seems to be nothing.

B2) She knew as soon as her dimension slipped that not only was she limited in her power, but somehow this dimension limited her enough to be able to be sustained in this human body. That in itself is exciting, but she wouldn't leave her precious Thief behind. When she's told that he's been kidnapped, that dream comes to mind. Of course she wasn't really dreaming. It was never in her programming to do that.

Of course, no one expected her to start shouting "Wrong! Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong! It's gone too wibbly!" As time around them shuddered and shifted. There might even be a sound or two that are definitely not from a human.

She might have come willingly, but that didn't mean that a temporal distortion wouldn't cause problems for a being meant to deal with time and space under certain parameters; Parameters that are being rather rudely shifted and distorted by this inter-dimensional craft.

Kairi rushed over to her when she started shouting, and tried to put a hand on her shoulder."It's okay," she said, trying to calm her down. "Whatever's wrong, we'll fix it," she tried to assure her. "That's what we're here for. That's why we're all here. To help each other, and to help those who were kidnapped."

Kairi gave her a warm smile and offered the hand she had reached with, for her to take. "Come on, why don;t we sit down, okay?"

Well, he wasn't about to let those sounds go ignored. He crossed the room to her and leaned his tall, thin frame over her, with a hand on her shoulder. He wore a normal suit, in brown, with an unremarkable tie. A bit distant from her favorite Thief's current attire.

"Hey, are you alright?" he asked. Even as far-flung as he was, he wasn't going to let someone go unassisted. He would be no kind of officer if he did.

Kairi nodded. "Of course, at least, as best I can." She brushed some hair back, tucking it behind her ear. "I'm new to all of this also. I'm Kairi." she offered a hand for him to shake. "Maybe whatever you need to know is something someone already told me. If not, maybe we can find the answer together."
iwantmythief: (bewildered)

[personal profile] iwantmythief 2016-02-27 09:36 am (UTC)(link)
She'll carry on for a little bit longer, but not much. She shakes her head to clear it and takes Kairi's hand. She moves to a seat a bit slowly, still a bit shaken. "I'm sorry, I'm... Who are you? I shouldn't be passing through something like that. My warning systems took over."
radiant_bloom: (Distance)

[personal profile] radiant_bloom 2016-02-27 09:39 am (UTC)(link)
"My name is Kairi. They have someone you care about, right?" she guessed. "That could be enough to throw off anyone," she said understandingly."Do you want to talk about it? We're all here to do everything we can to help."
iwantmythief: (bewildered)

[personal profile] iwantmythief 2016-02-27 09:40 am (UTC)(link)
Excuse her as she continues making the sound of a cloister bell. That definitely is not a sound a human should be making. Yet it was coming out of her as if it were perfectly natural. Strange things, TARDIS consciousnesses are. Once the temporal distortion evens out she stops making a racket and shakes her head clear. "I'm... Yes. Now I am. It seems that my warning systems are still functioning. Hm. Interesting."
iwantmythief: (focus)

[personal profile] iwantmythief 2016-02-27 09:46 am (UTC)(link)
"They stole my Thief. They should know I am the only one to steal him!" She turns her head just a little bit to the side as she goes, "Hmph!"

"The trouble isn't that so much. He gets himself into trouble all sorts of times. You'd think that sometimes he would be a bit more careful. And to lose his memory! Really, he should know better by now. But the ship leaving the dimension caused a temporal ripple that triggered some systems that I think were down... Thought? Yes... Maybe. Tenses. Anyway. I have shut them off for now so they don't go off every time we pop into a new dimension and time. Human vocal chords do not like TARDIS matrix sounds pressing through them."
radiant_bloom: (Longing)

[personal profile] radiant_bloom 2016-02-27 09:50 am (UTC)(link)
She.... didn't really follow most of that, but that was okay. She understood the important parts. "We'll find him, and we'll get him back. We'll save him. Don't worry. I may not know much about this kind of travel, or the place we're landing, but I understand hearts. And your heart and his, they're connected. As long as you're still looking for him, no one can keep you apart, right?"
missknight: (crystalgemsicons) (Ever wonder how different your life)

[personal profile] missknight 2016-02-27 09:52 am (UTC)(link)
Steven...

[Another reassuring squeeze, the best she can give, and Connie tries to smile in the same vein. It's a lot harder to do.]

They won't catch you. I'm here, and I won't let anyone hurt you again, okay? I'll protect you, and you'll protect me. That's what we said we'd do, right?
possessedbygreeed: (05)

[personal profile] possessedbygreeed 2016-02-27 09:52 am (UTC)(link)
Systems? Was she some kind of robot? Well, he wasn't about to go interrogating her. That wasn't important right now. "Well, that's good. My name is Shingo Izumi. If you need anything, just ask, alright? I'm here to help." He gave her a smile that he hoped was reassuring. He was coming into this expecting nothing and yet everything, so he wasn't really all that surprised by a woman-shaped-robot.
iwantmythief: (my beautiful idiot)

[personal profile] iwantmythief 2016-02-27 09:54 am (UTC)(link)
She looks Kairi up and down, almost looking insulted. Well, she is a little insulted. Of course no one could keep them apart! "Hm!" She tilts her head, "Well. It's never happened before, and it's not about to start now! I stole him so I could see the universe, not so he could run off without me!"
missknight: (crystalgemsicons) (Do something with your life that)

[personal profile] missknight 2016-02-27 09:55 am (UTC)(link)
[Glancing back to him, Connie gives a bright grin. She knows there are other people on the ship, too, so that helps in not being surprised as well. Besides, he seems like a pretty friendly person.]

It's amazing! I've heard about being in space before, but I've never gotten to go myself!

He'd already gotten the thrust of their situation when that person showed up to give him an opportunity to help. He'd surprised himself when he'd agreed so quickly. Why did he want to help so badly? Sure Ankh had treated his sister poorly at first, but she was kept safe thanks to Eiji and Ankh's combined efforts, and he'd sacrificed himself to keep the world from being consumed. Even a demon born of human avarice didn't deserve this. No one did.

But more to the problem at hand. "Ah, I was hoping you knew where I could get some coffee, actually." He grinned a little sheepishly.
