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?

[Maybe the Silver King had finally gotten to him.

No, he's a coward, he thinks, tone flat, edged with something like contempt and amusement. The Silver King could do away with others, but not him. They could take him dead, but not like this.

Mikoto looks, well. Bored. Faintly intrigued by the coming and going of things that aren't things, places that aren't places he knows. Some kind of fever dream. He walks leisurely, hands in the pocket of his black, fur-lined jacket.]


Never thought I'd get high in a cell.

[He says to himself as he waves his hand in front of himself. He remembers this moment, eyes glowing red and telling the silly foxes to go scampering from his mind.

But he strolls away after a little while, passing easily through the cell bars, the walls, pretty much everything. Briefly, he wonders if this is what death feels like.

Looks like ghostly Mikoto still smokes without a care or a hurry in the world. He'll pause every so often, assessing the vague shapes of other places and other worlds. He looks... approachable?

Maybe you could try.]


B1

[Mikoto runs his fingers through his hair. His golden eyes gaze outward onto the road, focused really on nothing. Idle thoughts swim through his mind, as they tend to do.

Happen to be nearby? His focus will shift onto you. Those golden eyes of his are pretty piercing, even when he looks as relaxed as he does now.]


Hey, would you mind bringing me a beer?

I know about as much as you do, lady!

[ gaige can't quite make out the girl that's addressing her, but she knows she's there. it's disorienting, seeing layer after layer of things that don't match up. ]

Are those weirdos after you, too?
deusexmechina: (two)

A1

[personal profile] deusexmechina 2015-09-25 03:37 am (UTC)(link)
[ gaige might be weirded out, but there's nothing chasing her yet, and so she's moving slower, cautiously. she turns her head when she's addressed, gun at the ready, but ideally a threat wouldn't be asking what's going on and she won't need to use it. ]

Noooot a clue.
deusexmechina: (thirteen)

A1

[personal profile] deusexmechina 2015-09-25 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
[ through all the weird crap that's happening, gaige sees a doggy.

well, okay. "doggy" is probably the wrong word to use here. the animal she sees bolting across the fading-in-and-out pandoran wasteland is majestic, leaves flora in its wake, and is definitely not from here -- but it seems to be...slowing down? is it okay? it doesn't occur to her that the animal could possibly be tied to what's going on right now; she finds herself worried.

she approaches, her human hand extended to sniff if the creature so wishes.
]

Hey. Are you --

[ is she talking to a dog? there's weirder things she's done. ]

-- are you okay?
deusexmechina: (eleven)

[personal profile] deusexmechina 2015-09-25 03:45 am (UTC)(link)
[ gaige is smack-dab in the middle of trying to figure out what the hell is going on when she hears a voice. whether or not it's in her head or somewhere out in this nebulous space, it's being polite, at least (though manners don't really matter either way to someone like her.

there's really no reason not to say anything.
]

...yo?
giglio_madonna: (sassybird) (Where do boys get off thinking they’re)

[personal profile] giglio_madonna 2015-09-25 04:30 am (UTC)(link)
That's too bad, although I suppose we have something in common.

[It's actually "currently packing heat" and not "have no idea what the hell is going on", but Luce doesn't say that. She just keeps a respectful distance from the gun.]

Looks like you've come prepared if nothing else, right?
deusexmechina: (eight)

[personal profile] deusexmechina 2015-09-25 04:32 am (UTC)(link)
Here on Pandora, you're screwed if you're not. Thouuuugh I can't really say if we're actually on Pandora anymore or not ...

[ she shrugs. a gun is good anywhere, right? ]

So. You're probably not from around here, are you? Where'd you wander in from?
giglio_madonna: (sassybird) (We are the granddaughters)

[personal profile] giglio_madonna 2015-09-25 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
A little place called Italy. I'm pretty sure that's quite a ways from your Pandora.

[Mostly because she's never heard of it until just now.]
i_am_not_cute: (just ONE meatbun)

[personal profile] i_am_not_cute 2015-09-25 04:56 am (UTC)(link)
It wasn't really heavy stuff, though! Just sushi and stuff.

[But those were some huge-ass plates of sushi...]
i_am_not_cute: ((manga) who's that pokemon?)

[personal profile] i_am_not_cute 2015-09-25 04:59 am (UTC)(link)
[Reaching for another french fry.]

What kinda birds are these, anyway?
i_am_not_cute: ((manga) thongs sound uncomfortable)

[personal profile] i_am_not_cute 2015-09-25 05:07 am (UTC)(link)
[Pao-Lin glances around.]

I...think I came from over there? [She points in a different direction.] That's what it feels like, anyway. But it didn't look like that when I passed by. And I haven't been here long...I don't think.
sponsorigami: icon of Ivan looking upset (漫画 I am my own worst enemy)

[personal profile] sponsorigami 2015-09-25 05:24 am (UTC)(link)
[ When Ivan reaches the commotion, he stops. His first instinct is to jump in and save the fallen person, but he doesn't. What if there is a reason those masked men attacked in the first place? He needs more information, and he's about to creep closer just as Trucy comes up beside him.

Ivan turns slightly so that his whispered voice is easier to hear.
]

I don't know. I can't tell if they're police or...

[ One masked man paused with a slight lift of his head, as if he just remembered he left the oven on. Then he turns to face in their direction. His gun is raised. It chases any further hesitation from Ivan's mind to wait and see if the masked men are law enforcement.

With a flick of his wrist, Ivan has a shuriken ready in his hands.
]
sponsorigami: Ivan looking upward without helmet (漫画 I feel they'll both turn out wrong)

[personal profile] sponsorigami 2015-09-25 06:06 am (UTC)(link)
[ So, it's the same thing with Dragon Kid. Ivan sighs and runs a hand through his hair. This is not something they taught in the Hero Academy, and he wishes Sky High was here. Sky High could at least give them an aerial view. ]

So what should we do? ... I'm not sure we should stay here...
imprudens: (if you wanna go.)

[ He's been here... Totsuka doesn't remember how long. Sometimes he drifts. A few times he feels like he's ended up somewhere? But the memory's fuzzy already, so maybe he's dreamed it all up.

Either way, he doesn't look like anything's changed. Exactly as he might still look, just as alive if he hadn't been- well.

This must be, Totsuka thinks, what ghosts feel like. There's not much else he can come up with for an explanation of him being here, after all. So he drifts and wanders, watches curiously when there's something to see, feeling for the first time a sense of missing. Missing his home, his friends. His King.

Until there he is.

And before he knows it, he takes off running after that familiar form. ]


Eh-... King!
faithfulflame: (Rei Sweatdrop)

[personal profile] faithfulflame 2015-09-25 03:35 pm (UTC)(link)
...you ate enough for six...

[...really brat?]
goateeocracy: (default en face)

[personal profile] goateeocracy 2015-09-25 06:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Didn't I just say there's no such thing as ghosts? Don't tell me you actually believe in that bullshit.

[It just seems so silly to him. Why would there be anything like that? You die and it's over. That's it. If there was something more to it, scientists would have figured it out by now. He actively doesn't want to think about it because it's such a waste of time. There's got to be a perfectly acceptable explanation to whatever the hell is going on. Well, the explanation would be acceptable. The disturbance to his peace of mind certainly isn't acceptable.]
pecsonpecs: (ALL THE BETTER TO SUCK THE BLOOD OUT)

[It's the ability to get roused by teammates that manages to keep one alive on Pandora--but this isn't Pandora, not as they know it, and the rules have changed--not to their advantage.

That's not to say he doesn't try, because he does. Bulky muscles twitch once they're free of the net; he's trying to psyche himself up to get back on his feet, but he's losing his grip on...well...everything. Why is it so heavy? Why is what so heavy...? Everything, even his eyelids...how exactly had that gas managed to penetrate his mask, no one will know.

But they know they have him. It's just managing to get their grubby little hands on him, even if it means they have to get past Gaige to do it.

yuruse: (serious)

[personal profile] yuruse 2015-09-25 09:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Itachi follows the look with one of his own, having to squint a bit to see what Jamie's pointing out. Given how unstable this place has felt so far, he's not sure anything they might see in the distance will be reachable, but right now there aren't many other options.

He doesn't say anything, as any noise might draw attention back to them, but continues to pull the boy along. It's a last ditch effort, as their chances of escape at this point seem abysmally thin.
deusexmechina: (three)

[personal profile] deusexmechina 2015-09-25 10:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[ while gaige might be small and young, she's nothing if not determined, and in this current moment, angry. the usual method of rousing a teammate isn't working, nothing is working, and everything is wrong. she shakes her head, as if to clear it, and gives krieg another nudge before swinging around to scan the area for their enemies.

though...now she's starting to feel woozy, too.

she stumbles as she circles krieg, attempting vigilance even as she's growing more and more tired.
]

Nuh-uh. Not gonna go down like this. Neither of us.

[ won't give up, won't give up, won't given up, she's never really given up... ]
deusexmechina: (five)

[personal profile] deusexmechina 2015-09-25 10:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Seeing as how I've never heard of an Italy, yeah, I'd say so.

[ she finally lowers her gun, relaxing. if the other woman was going to shoot her, she would've made it known by now, she thinks. sure, peace between them doesn't solve this entire situation, but it's nice to know it's one less thing to worry about. ]

Any way I can be sure that you're not a figment of my tripping-out mind, miss lady? I've still got "drugs" marked down on the list of explanations, here.
payback: (uncertain; what I know I don't know.)

B1 i hope i'm not too late OuO

[personal profile] payback 2015-09-25 10:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[Rin has a tendency to absentmindedly stare into space when she's bored, or waiting. She can look right through someone for hours without realizing it.

She blinks at Yuri's snap, looking puzzled for a moment and then suddenly blushing. Oop.]


I - I'm sorry, my mind was just wandering - there's no need to be so mean!

[personal profile] turbocharging 2015-09-26 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
"L... lift?" The Kid made a short couple of steps back as Plourr directed her glare in his direction before he remembered that this probably wasn't the best way to rack up cred in the music business.

"S-sure. Do you need help?" He could do that. Totally. Boxes, junk, whatever.
warrior_princess: (Chill.)

[personal profile] warrior_princess 2015-09-26 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
"Absolutely," she said shortly, taking him in from head to toe. He was on the wobbly uncertain side, so she'd sheathe her claws unless he earned them, but she'd left her conciliatory ever-nice persona behind and only broke it out when she really needed it.

"Show me your guns." She made it clear what this means by rolling up her sleeve and flexing her better arm. It'd taken a lot of work to get this goose egg. "Can you do better?"
lacrimosa: (seriously)

[personal profile] lacrimosa 2015-09-26 05:30 am (UTC)(link)
[ A clear voice ringing out amidst the confusion. A welcome sound. ]

I don't think they care who they're after. They-- [ She dodges a net, rolling and landing next to the voice's source. ] --just keep coming!

[ Sayaka executes another dodge, a jump with some flair to it, not bothering to hide her lack of humanity. If this is an innocent victim, she'll soon forget; if this is a friend, she can be trusted; if this is an enemy, she'll be dealt with. ]

And they're so persistent.
lacrimosa: (we don't talk about that)

[personal profile] lacrimosa 2015-09-26 05:39 am (UTC)(link)
"Y- You tie us all together," she protests, waving her hands in front of her face as if to brush off the compliment. "We'd all fall apart without you being a workaholic."

She doesn't like to think about the tabloids either. (She hears violins in her dreams sometimes, playing the melody of a past love and a soul at peace, but occasionally the sound gets louder when she wakes.

Sayaka always feels stronger about her bandmates then, always wants to pursue music more strongly for the sake of those who scouted them. Whenever she thinks about their duets, she has to ignore the screeching violin's warning and be the best witch-queen she can be.)

"I swear, your next piece will be one they talk about for months. Hashtag, Oktavia guarantees it!"
