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

Another! And one of whatever she's drinking, on Virgo's tab.
no subject
She tries not to become too excited. (She's a lady, dammit. Not some squealing fangirl.) She looks over at him, gives him a nice little smile.]
Thank You.
no subject
He's already halfway through bottle number 2. One man war against his liver is a go.]
Don't thank me, babe. Thank the label. So make sure it's fucking expensive.
[He might be an ass, because Virgo isn't even HIS label. He's sticking her bill on the rival music producers]
no subject
And she doesn't even comment on her bill going toward towards a rival label.
Chances are that she might be in Virgo anyway, hopefully Xanxus isn't against interactions with artists from rival labels.]I don't know... I've been to this place before, never at the V.I.P. bar before though. I wouldn't know what's the most expensive thing here.
no subject
and of course he's okay with that, mostly because fuck rules]Never? Christ. You'd think a hot piece of ass like you would be invited to party with the big boys. Must have been some real limpdicks here before. [A motion to the bartender...who he knows by name...because he knows ALL the bartenders by name] Hey Phil. Top shelf. The Diva Vodka. [Yep...enjoy the world's most expensive Vodka. It's even got crystals and shit in the bottle]
no subject
Normally she doesn't like being called that, she's classy. But she's giddy from all the excitement of being signed and meeting Xanxus for the first time. So she lets it slide. The expensive (and pretty) vodka doesn't help either.]
Yes. Then again, I wasn't V.I.P. but I am now.
That Vodka is worth 1.9 million... are you sure?
no subject
I'm sure, babe. Look. They wouldn't put that shit up there unless it's meant to be drunk. So, I can't think of a better person to have it. It's called Diva. So it has to be for you. You are going to be one after all. A diva?
no subject
Still it's nice to be called that, and she smiles, thick natural lashes downward.]
I don't have the voice for it, but if you insist.
[Is she being teasingly coy? Perhaps.]
no subject
[Vodka isn't really his alcohol of choice, but something this expensive...oh, he's not going to pass this opportunity by]
no subject
Thank you. Feel up for a toast?
no subject
How could I say no to a lady? So, I'll drink to your toast.
no subject
To music, new experiences and people.
no subject
Salute
[Fuck...again. That's happening more and more. Little words and phrases he doesn't understand sneaking into his vocabulary.]
no subject
You know... aside from tiny things like texture and all that, there's nothing different about this Vodka. Guess you get it for the bottle.
