TEST DRIVE MEME: THE SELF TITLED ALBUM

☆WELCOME TO INTERSTELLAR
And welcome to our first 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 tour. 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 SEARCH
These 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?

☆THE MAGIC TOUR BUS
By default, these prompt 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. They take place after being kidnapped and brainwashed, on your character's first tour under their new label. As it turns out, it seems like brainwashing aliens isn't the only thing the abductees have to worry about.



B1) PLAY IT STRAIGHT: It's just another day on the tour bus, in between long stretches of highway. How do you fill your time? Do you practice your instrument, or do you take full advantage of the open bar? Do you sulk and try go to bed early? Do you yell at your bandmates for ruining the toilet? Do you troll people on Twitter? Tours being what they are, everyone is probably at least a little bit tired or cranky. Just don't do anything that will get the Manager on your ass, because that's always more trouble than it's worth.

B2) THAT'S NORMAL: The Managers aren't here, as far as you can tell, leaving you in a moment of relative relaxation. Something about those guys just make you uneasy, and they're always shoving you around and making you do things you don't really want to. However, these moments of peace don't last long, because it stars to become increasingly apparent that your tour bus might be...haunted? Whether its the bus turning on without a driver and without a key, wine glasses falling off tables, or guitar static sounding like frantic whispering, things are starting to get weird. Yet, at the same time, something in your subconscious is strongly suggesting that you should ignore it, and that everything is normal and fine...

B3) THEN WHO WAS GUITAR?: These weird experiences eventually culminate in a kind of phantom music bleeding in from the air around you. The source is impossible to discern but it's somehow...familiar? Like something that played at an important moment in your life, even if the event itself just won't come to mind. What's weirder, is that everyone seems to hear something different. It gets to you in a way that your programming doesn't like - but how do you react? Reluctantly take it in, or throw a fit until it stops?

[Kise is very scared, but trying to put on a brave face, especially when there's a young lady who appears to need help. She could be a fan... then he looks at her. No, probably not one of his fans.]

Uh... hi? I was kinda hoping you had an answer to that.

[ Wakana nods. She shoves the junk Gaia Memory back in her pocket.

Footsteps are advancing behind them, so either way they have to make a choice soon. ]


I'll follow you.

[ Although it might confuse the men if they split up. Maybe they'll go for the ninja and let her go. She'll try that if it starts to look desperate. ]

Country and western, if you asked "Princess", was the worst genre. Well, along with enka, classical, jazz, r&b, and pop. She hated a lot of things. But country was definitely up there.

So why was her band touring alongside this... this mess? Who exactly was the target audience for both of these genres at the same time?

She was investigating the tour bus, cringing and looking disdainfully at everything in it, when she came across Shotaro being a huge loser. "Oh, are you one of the costume techs?" she asked in a snooty tone. She was being serious. She didn't actually know the members of this band by face.

"Well, can't you at least consider something like...I don't know...moving to the other side of the bus?" Rei asked in a somewhat icy tone. Kouha could be such a child at times, and that pout may have endeared him to others, but certainly not to her.

"I don't want to be rude, but I really am trying to rest in peace. I have a long set to play next stop, if you haven't forgotten."

"Exhausted, and not tired at all. It's troublesome. But yes, I'm sure we all understand that."

There may be a bit of sarcasm in her voice. Meril never seemed to tire, certainly, and her stamina seemed a little bit endless. The solidarity was appreciated, but it didn't do much to take the edge off.

"How do you cope?"

[Dantalion's Vessel was lost.

Rather, he should be glad he was walking at all, but the difficulties apparent in the loss of his primary weapon and his symbol of his status within the Empire was a distracting thought that lingered on his mind as he ran across the landscape barefoot in search of a place where he would be hidden and have a clear view of the battlefield around him. This wasn't the Kanan plains, where he had been, and none of his armies nor his siblings were here.

He was alone-- and it was strange.

Too focused on the enemies coming from one front, he didn't notice the enemies from the other. Thus, the collision from behind completely knocked him over with a muffled oof!

And he just lay there unmoving for a moment, figuring that it might be safest to play dead.

There was no way to know who could be trusted, after all.]

[She'd noticed the sounds, but just assumed it was someone else on the bus being annoying. So instead she decided to fix her hair and make-up--the make-up artists never get her eyes right so it's better just to do it herself. Kimber jumps from the abrupt entrance into the room, looking up to glare at him with shock and indignation.]

What the heck? You better thank your blessings that I didn't poke my eye out just now.

Rei's eyes peer over her knees, a mild sense of wonder in her gaze. The song...well, it was definitely one she liked, one that jogged loose some feeling deep inside in a good way. It wasn't enough to get her to let go of her knees, or to drown out the awful tune but it's enough to at least stop her from trembling.

Somewhere, deep down? she feels like she should be angry about this, furious at having been made this vulnerable...but she just doesn't understand why. Why does this song bother her, why does it feel like someone's twisting a fork around in her brain...and why isn't she getting angrier...

[The look he gives her is almost offended - and then earnestly sort of scared.]

No.

[He looks away. It's too fast an answer for a question like that. But his mind is demanding that he not get into this, like it's not worth discussing. Like if he does, he's going to ruin everything he has.]
dishevelment: (blunt)

A2

[personal profile] dishevelment 2015-09-16 12:27 am (UTC)(link)
What, do you have a death wish?

[Deadpan? Yes. Blunt? Yes as well-- but, without his weapon and his mind still a whirl from a very different battle field, his knife-like words were all he was armed with for the moment.

That, and his mind. They had a chance to think, and there was something in that young man's eyes that he felt he needed on this battle field.]
panspermia: (Making me uncomfortable)

There's the sound of footsteps, heavy and fast. They're out of time. "Steven... I'm sorry." He squeezes his son, one last hug, before standing up. Steven's going to hate him for this, probably beat himself up over it, but Greg can take that over losing him.

He steps over the incomplete bubble. Masked figures are appearing over the hill, and there's a faint clatter as some sort of canister lands nearby, spewing pink smoke. "Go!"

With a shove, Greg sends the bubble sliding away, before the gas can spill over Steven's barrier.
tigermillionaire: (no more!)

[personal profile] tigermillionaire 2015-09-16 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
How much that catches him off guard is enough to trigger Steven's instincts enough that, for a moment, a shattered portion of the top of the bubble forms - just enough that the shoved bubble can fall and bounce backwards and away from the wall of gas. He can't control it when his mind is caught up in the fear of the moment, and the environment is already shifting and changing as he moves.

It suddenly seems like it's falling. It bounces once, twice, and then shatters. By the time he collects himself, he can't even see the scene he just fled from anymore.

"DAD!"

And that's the end of it. For the moment, he's escaped, but Greg is gone.

"I've been quiet for you all day," he whined, flopping sideways on his seat and staring at her through his braided fringe that fell into his face with the motion.

"Moving to the other side ain't gonna fix this-- can't we play a game or something?"
punchesyu: (dude no that's not a nice thing to say)

[On the mention of weapons, he curses himself for not having his kunai on him- not that he would of had them anyway. He was walking home from school, there wasn't a need. But he would of given anything to at least had them on him. Even if he knows they might not of made a difference.

So he'll complain about that.]


What kind of weapons are we gunna find in here that's going to work against guns?! [Unless they find their own guns in here, but he seriously doubts it. He sighs, realizing that he's freaking out and not answering her question.]

Sorry. I'm Yosuke, Yosuke Hanamura.
punchesyu: (He's probably running his mouth)

[personal profile] punchesyu 2015-09-16 12:59 am (UTC)(link)
I dunno! I think any fan would kill to get a hold of mine.

[He says pretty confidently.]
faithfulflame: (Priestess Sunrise)

[personal profile] faithfulflame 2015-09-16 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
Then why were you not the one accosted, hmm?

[Her retort is sharp, almost cold.]
punchesyu: (cute winky face)

[personal profile] punchesyu 2015-09-16 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
Heheh! Gotcha. [He takes a look at it himself first before he shows her, expecting to of gotten something good. He didn't, to his dismay.] Man, not a single blink or anything! You really do smile all the time!

[He shows her his phone. It's a good picture, not at all what Yosuke was going for. He's winking, and she looks as happy as ever.]
punchesyu: (he mad so mad)

[personal profile] punchesyu 2015-09-16 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
Hey hey hey! [He yanks his phone away at the comment.]

Don't go looking at everything on my phone! This is private business!

[Oh yeah totally business here.]

"...Dude, you alive?"

Miko frowns down at Steven, hands on her hips, before prodding him in the ribs a couple times with the toe of one boot.

"You finally overdose on sugar or what?"

Sticking to yourself no matter what, talk about the hardcore route.

[But, then, Meril's always seemed way stronger in the ways that count so that's hardly a surprise, right? Nariko considers the idea, toying with a loose string in her jeans, and then:] Would you read it? And not just because I'm sort of asking you to.

[Also what's wrong with sexy pictures. She just so happens to feel good in a bubble path with candles all around! It's always best to take selfies when you feel confident!]
punchesyu: (welp freaking out again)

[personal profile] punchesyu 2015-09-16 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
Me?!

[He doesn't understand how suddenly he's the one that's got to do it.]

Why the hell me? Why can't you do it?!
punchesyu: (Fine!)

[personal profile] punchesyu 2015-09-16 01:18 am (UTC)(link)
Uh, no, that's why I'm running!

[He needs to get away from these guys, that's all he knows. They're taking people out left and right and he'll be damned if he's one of them. He doesn't want to die.]
gunslingerqueen: (So you'd better run)

[personal profile] gunslingerqueen 2015-09-16 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
Orchestral?

[That's not what she's hearing at all and something about that just twinges in the strangest way. Why would they be hearing different things, why does it seem like it's only coming from their heads? It's familiar and unnerving, but her ability to question it a little more doesn't lead to anything else. The more she asks the closer she gets to hitting that mental wall, and eventually she succumbs to the desire to ignore it, too.]

Right, that makes sense.

[She has all their songs memorized so she immediately plays one that she and Sora worked on together, and tries to concentrate on the upbeat tempo that feels woefully out of place.]
onegreeneye: why is this my life (time to rethink everything)

Oh dear god someone put this kid on a leash already.

Ginko grumbles and rolls over in an effort to face away, covering his eyes with one arm while his other hand reaches out blindly in an effort to grab Tiger's phone.

"Don't."

A2 -

Spaceships. What the fuck. Actual spaceships.

This isn't Panty's first rodeo, but man that's not something you see every day. She'd been off minding her own business, innocently massacring ghosts of all shapes and sizes, banging dudes of all shapes and sizes, when the bummer brigade here decided to bust in and ruin her party.
Probably another one of the Demon Hoes diabolical plans to enforce some obscure rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrules!!!!! that nobody gives half a shit about.

UNFORTUNATELY with the amount of gun-toting assholes, Backlace alone isn't making much of a dent. When one gun isn't enough, what's the solution?

MORE. GUNS.

"Hey! You! Yeah you, turdburger!" Wow that sure is Panty right up in your grill. If that isn't enough, she's going to go for her victim's shirt to shake them violently to make her polite request all that more convincing. "Don't just stand there! Fork over your underwear and make it snappy, got it?!"
it's for a good cause i swear



B1 -

Ah yes. A nice roadtrip with all the luxuries. The AC's on high, there's soft background music, and probably free wifi if you need it. A lot of distractions for a few hours if you switch activities from time to time to keep it fresh.

But is Panty Anarchy going to do that?

HELL NO.
What she's done instead is found a packet of chewing gum and a ballpoint pen, stuck her earbuds in (playing something suitably wubwub-y) and started absent-mindedly clicking the pen in time to whatever song she's listening to at the time while blowing gum bubbles with sharp 'POP's as they're inflated beyond capacity. Normally that wouldn't be a bad thing, except for the fact said pen is exceptionally loud, the tempo of wubwub is fast as fuck by default, and she still has most of her gum packet to go through.

click click click click POP click click click

Aren't you glad you're stuffed in a tour bus with her?
