☆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.

"Ya say that like ya wouldn't be th' food." The witch teased back. Since Reimu was acting so normal, Marisa, of course, doesn't notice anything off for now, but this wasn't likely to last.

"Tho' yer right. They'd crazy t' try t' eat you, Reimu." Marisa casually folded her arms behind her head and grinned. "Even if they managed t' actually catch ya in th' first place, ya'd probably give 'em indigestion, da ze~"

fantasyseal: (Uh.)

Going to roll her eyes and shake her head at that. Besides, this was only a dream. Why not keep going and see where this rabbit hole went for the heck of it.

"I'm not the only one they'd try to eat this time around though. I mean, doubt they'd really think twice on that."

Reimu bites the inside of her lip, trying to hide it before speaking up again. If it was a dream the fact she isn't sure who this was wouldn't be a problem....right? Give her a moment to think what she's about to say through an cross her arms.

"So where are you going then Layla?"
an_ordinary_magician: (What'd you say?)

[personal profile] an_ordinary_magician 2016-02-24 07:58 am (UTC)(link)
"Nah, they wouldn' bother tryin'a eat me either." She said with her usual air of confidence.

But then Reimu called her by the wrong name, and Marisa paused, blinking. "Eh? Who're you callin' Layla? Did ya hit yer head 'er somethin'? It's Marisa."

Okay, this dream sure is taking an interesting turn.
fantasyseal: (Startled)

Well that could have been better. Dreams that had a a sort of sentience was new. but very unnerving. Time to do some clean up although the fact that this startled her isn't hard to tell. "I thought I saw someone behind you. No need to freak out."

Waving her hand like it was no big deal. Obviously this was going to work out in her favor...right? Nailed it obviously.
an_ordinary_magician: (Huh...)

[personal profile] an_ordinary_magician 2016-02-27 10:00 am (UTC)(link)
Marisa doesn't even bother looking over her shoulder. She frowns at the shrine maiden. "Yer still as crummy a liar as ever, at least." The witch commented drily.

Then the more serious expression is replaced just as quickly with a look of mock hurt. "I'm hurt Reimu! How can ya ferget yer own best friend's name like that? Yer so mean, da ze~" She sniffs theatrically.

Despite how she was acting, she really was hurt, and worried. This might be a dream, but it felt too real to be a normal dream and alarm bells were already going off inside the witch's head.

"I am not." Yes Reimu is but still trying to play it off for now. If anything, this dream was getting weird as all get out. The lack of knowledge..although it being familiar was bothering her like crazy...Why in the heck was that? It was going to keep her thinking and on edge until the end of the dream.

"Geeze, it's not like it's the end of the world Marisa." There is a light and playful shove, trying to get that calmed down. Best friends always just messed around right? So a playful shove might start a shoving match nothing more, right?

Why was she so worried about appearances in a dream? Where the heck was this and why was there the sense of long lasting friendship and it hurt not to remember? What was going on?
