☆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.

"That's how you respond when my Fantasma was trying to be so polite?"

Don't ask when Mammon seemed to just show up. They're here now, a short little figure in black, and they cross their arms as they stare over at him. Fantasma gives another croak, apparently pleased to see them.

[He was pretty sure he's been getting a better hang of his powers. He doesn't randomly go into invisibility mode anymore. So he's sure he's visible as he waves off her apology.]

Don't worry about it. I ran into you.

[He doesn't have anybody he's close to here, but as a super hero, the thought of people getting brainwashed and kidnapped is a lot to deal with. He can't turn down somebody asking for his help.]
oceantier: (to wish)

[personal profile] oceantier 2015-12-31 09:09 pm (UTC)(link)
"I had a choice." Her eyes flicker away again at that. "But . . . there's someone I need to help. That I owe."

"But . . . they said he won't remember me. How do you help someone who doesn't remember you?" Her lips press together briefly, the next words coming out slowly, even softer: "Who might . . . even be afraid?"
oceantier: (to hesitate)

[personal profile] oceantier 2015-12-31 09:14 pm (UTC)(link)
"You need to go."

There's a degree of panic in her voice, nearly cutting through his words before he finishes. Her arms strain at their chains, the links absolutely taut. "However you came here, you need to go. Now."

[Mammon won't lie: it is more than a little amusing to watch a time displaced pirate treat what's now a common little bit of technology as though it's going to bite him. There's not even the slightest attempt to hide the smirk on their face.]

I'm afraid not, or I would have a much easier time of things.

[They step through casually, not worried in the least. Fantasma makes sure to turn about on her little perch to make sure she has an eye on Jack.]

It's not locked. I won't bother boring you with the details, but pressing that arrow triggered some mechanisms that made the door move and become open. Some don't need buttons at all.
avidita: (sassybird) (I should not be allowed to reproduce.)

[personal profile] avidita 2015-12-31 09:15 pm (UTC)(link)
So it's half do-gooders, and half people here for their own selfish reasons.

[Might as well say what everyone is thinking.]

This mission is going to be a mess.
saikapath: (☆ Sang at you)

[personal profile] saikapath 2015-12-31 09:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Normally it isn't, no. It isn't usually this green.
saikapath: (☆ 'Cause this is our culture)

[personal profile] saikapath 2015-12-31 09:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[So many heroes... Anri nods. She's not really used to being acknowledged.] Still, I'll pay more attention. Are you all right?
fitnessenthusiast: (Good [insert time here]!)

[personal profile] fitnessenthusiast 2015-12-31 09:22 pm (UTC)(link)
But she's trying and that's all that matters.

After several reps, the exercise is complete.

"Great work! We're all done!"
bitsyspider: ([m] Lying is the worst I)

[personal profile] bitsyspider 2015-12-31 09:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[He couldn't escape the call, at least, not for very long.]

I should too. But don't worry, nothing's wrong. Are you?
wounds: (Speaking)

[personal profile] wounds 2015-12-31 09:26 pm (UTC)(link)
I won't argue that. My legs generally seem fine.
heypal: (Yeeeowch!)

[personal profile] heypal 2015-12-31 09:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Wait what.

It takes a moment for him to notice a couple things, like the cuffs keeping her attached to the water. Or to something beneath the water. He isn't really sure. All he can do is stare at it for a second while his tiny brain finally processes what he's looking at.

"Wha... what's going on here?!" He starts scrambling to the chain, attempting to pull them off her. Because that clearly is a good idea that wouldn't have a consequence. "Don't worry pal, we'll get you outta there lickity split!"
stalwartshadow: (Curious | Children of the land do you he)

[personal profile] stalwartshadow 2015-12-31 09:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[He can only wish.]

Hmmm, none meet that description of statues I have seen recently. Most seem to be of dragoons of lore.

[And somewhat broken on her trips. Snowy weather sucked at times.]

I may not know of this statue but mayhap I can accompany you to seek it out.
stalwartshadow: (Curious | Children of the land do you he)

[personal profile] stalwartshadow 2015-12-31 09:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[Sounds like the job she has.]

Narukami...

[It reminds her of the names heard among those in Doma, perhaps their worlds have something similar? The fact that she says it is only her trying to get a feel for it just so she doesn't screw up on it.]

My name is Rikona Horo, it's a pleasure to meet you.

saikapath: (☆ These new flocks)

[personal profile] saikapath 2015-12-31 09:49 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm fine. Thank you for asking. It's hard to avoid a collision or two in a space like this with so many others...
saikapath: (☆ And now I'm just numb)

[personal profile] saikapath 2015-12-31 09:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Are they made of metal as well?
losingherhead: (Either angry or excited)

[personal profile] losingherhead 2015-12-31 09:53 pm (UTC)(link)
I wouldn't know. I've never been in Ikebukoro.
saikapath: (❦ So don't stop)

[personal profile] saikapath 2015-12-31 09:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Is that what you really believe?
fromearth: (How does that even...?)

[personal profile] fromearth 2015-12-31 09:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Sparks sits up not at all as he looks between the kid, the frog, and back to the kid. He could not possibly look less impressed.

"Reckon so."

Nothing rude about stating facts.
losingherhead: (My stump steam is listening)

[personal profile] losingherhead 2015-12-31 10:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[She hesitates.]

Yes.
stalwartshadow: (Default)

[personal profile] stalwartshadow 2015-12-31 10:05 pm (UTC)(link)
But that's the thing: sometimes she knows it's just a trap and she goes anyway. No one else can usually go into a fight and end up walking away from powerful beings. With the exception of a few of course.

"A part of me believes it so. But it would not be like me to turn away those who do need help."
stalwartshadow: (Default)

[personal profile] stalwartshadow 2015-12-31 10:45 pm (UTC)(link)
He...definitely looks hyur. Hit his head, perhaps? But he seems more frightened than anything else; leaning in more than likely didn't help him feel at ease what with her scales and horns. She pulls back and straightens herself up, motioning a hand over her heart.

"Sorry, I should introduce myself before we figure out our next step. I am Rikona Horo; what's your name?"

"Wise," Nozomi answers with a smile and a nod. "That way if something comes up, you'll never be penniless. Though I'm not sure how profitable this expedition will be, hmmm. Do you have a friend who went missing too?"
covenantal: (139.)

[personal profile] covenantal 2015-12-31 10:45 pm (UTC)(link)
You don't get much chance, huh? Well, I hope I can live up to your expectations. [ Said lightly, with a little humor. ] At least we won't have to worry about crowds around here. It's pretty deserted.
covenantal: (o70.)

[personal profile] covenantal 2015-12-31 10:47 pm (UTC)(link)
You as well, Horo-san.

[ With all her talk of magitek and the like, she's definitely not even from Earth, but it doesn't hurt to be polite. ]

What about you? Are you here to get someone back?
