☆RESCUER TEST DRIVE: DIGITAL LOVE

☆WELCOME RESCUERS



Welcome to Interstellar's first ever RESCUER TDM! A part of the Interstellar plot that has just opened up, this covers the entrance of those recruited 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.



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.

He had this big idea of what a hero should be and was throwing a giant tantrum. He got really mad when I told him that I'm a hero as a hobby.

[A tantrum that almost killed everyone in the S Class...]

But giving up and being a monster is settling for second best. He got weaker the more monstrous he became.

He jumps, his reaction clearly giving away the fact that there is indeed something under his shirt, which just distresses him all the more.

"What? There isn't anything - Leave me alone-"

He takes a step back, the whole reaction coming across like such an instinctive flinch that it must be rooted in fear. There's already tears in his eyes, though he isn't letting them fall.
fromearth: (Let's ride)

Sparks would be lying if he said the hair was the weirdest thing he'd seen, in the last month even, but that doesn't mean he's not going to be judgmental as heck about it.

He looks back down at his whittling, shrugging one shoulder. "What, you heard'a me?" He says it casual, but there's an unmistakable twinge of pride in the assumption. "Guess a few times savin' dimensions or whatever gets you used to 'bout anythin'."
eba02: (I'm looking and I just can't see)

Do you have a song preference for Jamie's tune?

[personal profile] eba02 2015-12-29 09:40 pm (UTC)(link)
He sounds incredibly wonky on the metaphysical level. The singer's tune is skipping and warping all over the place, and it's almost hard to listen to him sing on top of that, because he's got the kind of voice that J will always envy and that song is too good to have that broken tune as its harmony.

He works through it, pulls on a smile like it's second nature, and takes a seat on the other end of the bench. "Nah, I'm good. Any reason you picked that song?"

That was not the reaction she had anticipated. She blinks at him dumbly, head tilted to the side. "Are you hurt or something?" People aren't supposed to hurt in dreams.

"All of the Wii Fit Center's Trainers are professional trained to help everyone reach their full exercise potential."

That wasn't a yes. Which means she wasn't lying to a student, per se.

Did you manage to stop him?

[Sensei can stop anything- he thinks.]

He's panicking a bit, because he has no idea what to expect out of this. Mabel seems nonthreatening, but...so did Nia...

"No," he sniffles. "It's just...none of your business...I don't know you..."
giglio_madonna: (A woman sitting by herself is not)

[personal profile] giglio_madonna 2015-12-29 09:44 pm (UTC)(link)
"Ah, yes, quite."

Wait. That voice...

Luce blinks and tilts her head to the side, staring at him as though that will help matters. No, there's no doubt about it. "Sans, is that you? I'm sorry- I'm used to seeing you with... Flesh. And skin." Squint. "And a nose, I suppose."
fromearth: (How does that even...?)

[personal profile] fromearth 2015-12-29 09:45 pm (UTC)(link)
...Li'l on the nose there, innit. You some type'a superhero, then? That's a thing now?
heroforfun: (chit chat)

[personal profile] heroforfun 2015-12-29 09:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I did. He was getting pretty strong, but he took things way too seriously to really "get" it, y'know?
giglio_madonna: (Ironically their virtues make them)

[personal profile] giglio_madonna 2015-12-29 09:46 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm afraid not at all, although it's absolutely stunning.

[Finally coming to a stop at the base of the tree, she chuckles up at him.]

But I suppose with you asking that, it feels that way to you.

Jamie has no idea what a city-state is, let alone where this Ishgard might be located relative to Vista. He supposes he should be upset by this, but he's really just exasperated.

"Well that's just great," he says, throwing up his hands in annoyance. "All right, so do you know how to get to Vista City from here? Please tell me you know that much."
heroforfun: (Sleepy)

[personal profile] heroforfun 2015-12-29 09:47 pm (UTC)(link)
I was assigned the name, it's not like I picked it.

[SIGH-- wait]

You aren't part of the Hero's Association?
wounds: (Thinking)

I... No, Sensei. I don't.

"Yeah you do, we just did introductions, remember? I said 'I'm Mabel,' and you said you were St-Tiger and so now we know each other." She is absolutely aware that that's how it looks. "And I'm kinda lost and you look kinda lost, but I think things are okay... unless you met like a talking triangle, because he's a creep, and you don't want him around."

Anyway, that's not important. "But I can keep a secret if it's a secret. I know about a whole bunch of stuff Dipper doesn't."

Mabel talks a lot.
dame_tsuna: (nervous)

[personal profile] dame_tsuna 2015-12-29 09:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[Tsuna flinches slightly at the irritation in those steely eyes.]

S-sorry!

[It's not like he forgot on purpose, but apologizing seems wise. Fleeing also seems like a great idea, but he plucks up as much courage as he can and tries again.]

You do look familiar. So does...

[He gestures vaguely around him.]

..this place.

Pearl draws back the hand that she was about to place on his shoulder, tilting her head to try and get a better look at his face. There's a deep sense of worry within her that she doesn't know what to do with just yet because she can't rationalize it. Steven's here, he looks unhurt, and whatever's bothering him can't be anything she won't be able to figure out. Human problems can be messy sometimes but she's never met one she couldn't reason with.

"Is there something wrong? It's alright Steven, you can tell me," she says, gentle and confident.
heroforfun: (Bulls fan)

[personal profile] heroforfun 2015-12-29 09:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, whatever. Point is, I think you're lost somewhere and you're remembering things wrong, so make sure you don't have brain damage and I'll come get you. Okay? I don't know what I'm gonna do in a dream but I'm sure I'll find some way to track you down.
eba02: (You're gonna go far kid)

[personal profile] eba02 2015-12-29 09:50 pm (UTC)(link)
That's it. J can hear the thrill in the tune, that delighted upswing when he makes that pun, and it gives him the handle he needs to really get the hang of Bone Man's tune. He hides his smile, because they are having a serious conversation and he can't let on just how pleased he is by this turn of events. The tune stumbles again over I'm not normally a skeleton, but that's not enough to shake J's rhythm.

"Good - I thought you'd call me a numbskull for that one." He lets that grin loose now that there's an excuse for it; he can pun all day long if it helps him get this tune back to where it once belonged. "So what're you usually, then?"

"Illusions? Does that mean you...work with magic?" Nozomi asked with a curious tremor in her words. Her accent wobbled a little, shifting from the feigned Kanto to her native Kansai. The words come drawled a little, though her voice is light and polite. He was an elder, and she didn't know him, so teasing and prodding felt like a stupid thing.

Especially since he looked rather...tough. Rough, and a little course too. Not that she minded those sorts of things. This was a rescue mission after all.

Something the matter?

[ He notices that expression, and can't help but jump on it. He'll take anything, here. ]
