TEST DRIVE MEME: SECOND STAGE
☆WELCOME TO INTERSTELLAR
And welcome to our second TDM! We've got two types of prompts to use this time around: the first takes place while your character is in the process of being captured, and the second is during their first brainwashed rockstar networking gig. The former is designed to be considered 100% game canon if you make it in officially, while the later is more speculative and will only work if you get lucky during label and band selection.☆THE TALENT SEARCHThese prompts are design to be kept as game canon after acceptance, and can be used as the official story of how your character was captured. Importantly, the kidnappers entering 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 captured multiple ways, or going in more than one direction, before the timeline settled on a final path. Or at least, they'll remember this until their memories are wiped shortly afterwards, but that's okay! That's what memory regains are for. Read this page for more specifics on this situation. Any powers the characters have will be weakened and prone to malfunction to the point of uselessness.
►A1) THE SEARCH: It always starts out this way, doesn't it? At some point in your life, you were just doing your thing, wherever you call home. Then, all at once, it's like you've been torn from your dimension by the roots. Time and space displace, and it's like you've been shifted one layer of reality to the left - like some kind of subspace where you can see your reality through it, like a rainbow surrealist image of your home. Even if you can see this ghost image of where you were, you can't interact with it meaningfully. Any friends or family are somewhere else. As you begin to wander, without any other options, you'll find that the scenery gradually shifts to ghost images of other places, other worlds. If you wander long enough, you'll even find other people, lost just like you are. But you probably won't have much time - you've been brought here for a reason, after all.
►A2) THE HUNT: It could happen almost immediately, or it could happen hours later - but, at some point, your dimensional kidnappers start to do their sweep. Space Men in black body suits and gas masks pursue you on foot and in small spaceships, trying to sweep you and the other displaced up like fish in a net. Their guns contain a weird pink gas that will knock out most with only a single breath - and for those more enduring, they have the heavy artillery, like electrical nets and guns. The fallen will be sealed up into stasis pods for transport and loaded onto the ships, which seem like the only way to get out of this place by choice. This is where it ends, but are you going to put up a fight?
NOTE: Characters already in game can't really tag into these sections, so try to tag around to other first time character tests if you can!☆WELCOME HOMEBy default, these prompts aren't considered canon, but if after you are accepted and sorted they can be tweaked into working for you, it'll be totally okay to keep them as a part of your rockstar's personal history. This occurrence is something that will be happening around November 15th game time, but of course, what remains canon and what doesn't will be subject to who is accepted and where they are placed. This takes place after being kidnapped and brainwashed, as your character is first joining their new label. As usual, this is celebrated with a party.
►B1) PLAY IT STRAIGHT: It just another large scale soiree, something typical to the high music society of Vista City - but maybe it's not yet typical to you. For a number of the freshly signed on newbies, this is their first real taste of what their new label has to offer - either Virgo or Pride - and the sheer glamour of it may be intoxicating. Industry big wigs scatter the floor, as do performers of all the tops labels and bands. Maybe you feel intimidated. Maybe you want to make your mark. Or maybe you're not quite as new as some, and are just trying to get through the evening. Either way, they is plenty of booze available if you need some liquid courage. And is that a hookah pipe corner over there? Probably.
►B2) TOTALLY NORMAL: The signs of it are small, at first. Glasses you set down seeming out of place, stuff that almost looks like words written in the condensation on your glass. These little hauntings only get more and more persistent as the night continues, almost like some otherworldly presence is following you. You can feel them lurking nearby at times, like an unusual spot of cold or warmth in the air. None of the higher ups seem to notice but...to some of your new peers, this feels like old news. Eventually the signs become bolder, and at some point in the evening you'll hear it whispered in your ear or written on the bathroom mirror: "Remember."
►B3) REMEMBER: And you do. It strikes you suddenly, a feeling like a foreign presence straying through your mind. You remember something of your past, pertaining to the emotional affinity Love, Duty, Passion, or Hope - whichever feeling describes the person you used to be best. Except you know nothing of that life now, nothing except this single, strange thought in a room full strangers.
NOTE: Current characters definitely go to this party on November 15th, but it isn't required play. Besides the haunting and meeting new characters, it is considered business as usual.☆HELPFUL INFO► Follow the mod plurk for updates:interstellar5555

looool
[FUCK TOILET GERMS.
The foot to the balls was met with a grunt of pain and the palm of Hibari's free hand slamming into the asshole's chin before he fell to the cold tile inside the stall, breathing heavily from the unrelenting pain in his pants.]
Fuck you, [he growled, shooting a glare up at the taller man with an animalistic gleam in his eyes.
The battle was far from done; Hibari waited to see what the man would do next.]
no subject
[ Anyway, once his opponent is down for the count, he'll be doing the mature, reasonable thing and planting his boot on the teen's shoulder with a feral grin. ]
Maybe later. [ shame, what shame. ] Right now you're gonna tell me what's your fucking deal. Someone's been harassing me all evening and wham, here you are. Thought it'd be funny?
no subject
[It was far too elaborate a ploy-- why in all the hells would someone stalk another all night just to tease them in the bathroom? Such antics made no sense to Hibari.
Then again, he was far from understanding of the Paparazzi.]
There are better things to do, and more interesting targets to fight with.
[Translation: you're a boring louse who is undeserving of even a second of his attention.]
no subject
So that wasn't you? [ god damn it everything is getting complicated. ] Seen anyone else in here?
[ UH EXCUSE WHO'S SITTING ON THE DIRTY TOILET FLOOR THAT PEOPLE PISS AND MASTURBATE ONTO? NOT SQUALO, THAT'S WHO. ]
no subject
Like I pay attention to people who are taking a piss?
[He scoffed, and started to pull himself up off of the floor-- slowly, painfully. That blow to his delicate bits would be felt for a while, but he couldn't let anyone see that.]
Seems to me that you're the pervert for even asking such a dumb question.
no subject
[ Anyway, he's actually going to step back, because looks like this fucker had nothing to do with it. ]
[ ...if he was hoping to make him scandalized, though, that's gonna backfire. The only response to that suggestion is Squalo baring his teeth. ]
You coming onto me or something? Grow some hair on your dick first, fledgeling.
[ ur like 12, pls ]
[ YEAH HE'S LEAVING NOW. ]
no subject
Hold on Princess.
[Hibari reached out to snatch a handful of that obscenely long hair once again-- and gave a sharp pull.]
What the hell are you implying?
[Getting together with a person? Disgusting-- especially with a jackass such as this long-haired freak. He had other things that were more important-- like music.
Or something.
....he had no idea why a simplistic melody echoed in the back of his mind-- Midori...
Fuck.
It didn't matter. Not a second passed before Hibari jumped and snaked an arm around the bastard's neck.
You don't imply Hibari to be a pervert and get away with it.]
no subject
[ He thinks the goddamn hair is caught on a handle at first before turning around. This again? He'll just reach out and grab a handful of Hibari's hair in return. I let go if you let go, etc. ]
"Implying"? I think I was plenty clear in telling you that you're a fucking baby and not getting laid.
[ And now you're gripping him from behind. Wow that's sure showing how much of a not pervert you are. ]
no subject
If Hibari can't take this guy down the normal way, he sure as hell will do it the underhanded way!]
I don't give a shit who you are or what you're thinking, [he hissed in Squalo's ear, as low and menacing as a slender teenage boy could get,] but the jackass you're looking for isn't me.
Get your head out of your ass, or your brains really will turn to shit-- and then you'll be the biggest fool in town.
no subject
[ Look, he doesn't appreciate headlocks. He glances in the mirror briefly -- still hot? damn right he is, -- and then he's pulling on the teen's hair and using his superior weight to throw them both through the goddamn bathroom door right back into the party. He doesn't really care if they end up on the floor or in the punch bowl, to be honest. ]
[ If there's gonna be another brawl, everyone would better damn see it. ]
no subject
[The door slams open with a bang, rattling on it's hinges as Hibari struggled to catch the wind that had been knocked out of his lungs with the impact. Vision glazing over for a second, he took no time to orient himself before his near blind charge at Squalo. Diving headlong at the man, he doesn't care if they slam into a wall or back into the bathroom.]
I'm gonna bite you to death, [he growled, unsure of where the words were coming from, and slammed his closed fist into Squalo's face.]
no subject
GO ON AND TRY, FUCKER!!
[ Yeah he's yelling at this point. And sort of just. Trying to grab the kid's arms to stop him from punching so it'll probably devolve into wrestling on the floor among slivers and alcohol puddles real fast. ]
no subject
[They are in the cake-- and glasses of fancy cocktails and wine shattered and spilled everywhere as the table overturned from the force of their combined momentum and weight. Hibari took no time to plan his move-- his hand was already reaching for that Rapunzel-like hair and twisting it around his fist to lock the man's further movement.
The shrieks of fear and outrage from the rest of the partiers fell on deaf ears; Hibari was more concerned about trying to smash Squalo's face into the battered remnants of the cake.]
no subject
[ For the moment, though, he's too busy to worry about it. They roll across the floor, loud swearing and everything, then Squalo grabs a bottle and tries to bash where he thinks the kid's head is before he can smudge the cake on him. ]
no subject
Glass shards bite into his shoulders and arms as they roll, tearing flesh and streaming blood in their wake.
Someone ought to call a bouncer. This is getting out of hand.]
no subject
[ He gets his own fair share of glass shards once they're turned over. At least the leather coat protects his back from the ones already on the floor. Turns out the clothing choice can be somewhat practical. ]
[ Squalo will try to pin the teen down and smash his forehead into his, probably hoping to knock him out or something. Before he can succeed (or fail) with that, though, he'll be literally lifted off Hibari by two square guys grabbing him by the arms. ]
VOOOOII!! The hell're you grabbing me for?!!
no subject
[The interruption was sudden-- and Hibari wasn't spared. A beefy jackass who looked like he could bench the both of them grabbed Hibari by the wrists and yanked him upright.]
Let go of me! [Hibari snarled, trying to brace himself against this onslaught.
He was more pissed by the interruption than by the possibility of facing consequence for the brawl.]
no subject
Get your paws off me! Do you fucking know who I am?!
[ For a brief moment, it feels as if everything slows down. He sees a big knife on the floor, where it probably fell with the cake, so goddamn clearly, and he reaches for it with his foot, 100% certain that he can kick it into his hand and fucking dispatch the goons getting in his way. ]
[ But no. It just slides a few centimeters over the floor instead, and he's dragged off kicking and screaming. ]
no subject
[--Hibari sees that knife as well, and something clicks in his mind. Grunting in agitation and exertion, he managed to pull away from the jackass holding him just enough to kick the knife in Squalo's direction.]
Take it! [He called as he was yanked off his feet and bodily grabbed by the mook. With his slender build, it was almost useless to fight against such bulk....
But maybe that other guy still had a chance.]
no subject
[ So, unfortunately, it looks like that's the end for now. ]
[ But he'll definitely be keeping an eye out for the fight-happy kid if/when he's allowed back in. ]
