☆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.

[Is that a grin on the little shit's face? Do they approve of this shameless greed? You bet.]

[Finally, someone with some common sense.]


No, but this is dealing with celebrities and the rich.

[They'll let her connect the dots herself.]

This place is beautiful. Agent 3 can't help but be mesmerized by the colorful lights playing on the water. However, she doesn't go any closer to it. An Inkling by water is just asking for trouble.

Better answer the pink round guy's question. "I'm not sure how, but I'm here."
woomy: icon of an unsure Agent 3 (Water you talkin' about?)

[personal profile] woomy 2016-01-01 09:07 am (UTC)(link)
... Yeah, let's stay away from water.

[ What? Did you think a squid could swim in water? ]

Okay, well, that's fine and all - but it doesn't really fit with the reality he's come to expect from his own life. God, just being a skeleton here had seemed surreal but fine, yet somehow applying a narrative to it just makes everything so uncomfortable. A whole family of monsters, living underground - it's not even that it's ridiculous, because he doesn't really care about that conceptually. It's just that it feels wrong.

Or at least, something is telling him in very stern words that it should be wrong, and that going down this path is a bad thing for him all together.

"That's the thing, kid," he says - it can't hurt to more properly explain the subject of his distress. "Last time I checked, I was human, too."
sponsorigami: Edward and Ivan talking (砂 And then she said "Call me maybe")

[personal profile] sponsorigami 2016-01-01 09:23 am (UTC)(link)
[ It's a voice, sadly, that's closer to his "true" voice. He nods and starts heading in that direction. Everything around them looks similar to Vista City, but at the same time, it's very different. Large screens display ads and the news. Ivan can't tell what day it is or what time. Just like back home (?), the multiple layers of the city can mask the sunlight in places. ]

... I... I don't really know what I'm doing. E-Even if I find Edward, what then?

[personal profile] sponsorigami 2016-01-01 09:28 am (UTC)(link)
Little does he know, Ivan has been remade in a fashion. He's not who he's supposed to be. His eyes have been opened to the idea that there's something more to him than his musical life, but to the extent of what that something is still eludes him.

"Where are we? I've never seen a place like this before." Maybe he might have in a fictional show. Did he fall asleep watching something strange? That could explain the weird dream he's having. "I can't stay here. I've got practice."

Does he? Why does he feel that so strongly?
sponsorigami: Enpitsu's Rising Ivan (踊る Koko wa utage hagane no ori)

[personal profile] sponsorigami 2016-01-01 09:44 am (UTC)(link)
[ There's a lot of confusion as he thinks about what he's doing and why, where he's at. A lot of Ivan's reprogramming runs alongside business as usual in Hero TV. He may not feel completely right about what he says, but he's not wrong either. ]

Flowers Over Bones isn't like other bands. We create and play songs our own way, and we've been reaching audiences. I've been getting shamisen music out to people. They're starting to hear how beautiful the instrument sounds. At the music festival, we got to be part of the evening performances. Those are reserved for the more known bands. We're starting to climb the rankings. We'll reach the top.

[ Somehow... the idea of reaching the top rankings is pathetically laughable. Try as he might, there are others who are so much better than he is. They'll always be above him. His eyes haze over at it slightly. He believes his band can do great things. They can do. He's not sure he sees himself there, though, more like looking from below or behind. ]

I... I won't let them down.

[ He'll force himself for his band, his family. ]
panspermia: (Quick let's go before the cops find us)

[personal profile] panspermia 2016-01-01 09:46 am (UTC)(link)
"Hmm? What..." Greg's overall pleasant demeanor leaks away as he finally sees what the kid's holding. His brow furrows, and when he tries to put his smile back on, it's easy to see it's forced. "W-we shouldn't be messing with that. They're... someone's precious memories. I'll get in trouble going through them." He falters again. "We. We will."

It's just a dream, so there wouldn't actually be any consequences, right? Yet, there's no doubt in Greg's mind: only danger is waiting for him in those tapes. He sits back on his knees, scratching at his beard, which he evidently has now. It itches like crazy.

"Hey, besides, they're probably pretty boring! You'd probably have way more fun watching these. Or..." He pauses, frowns at himself. "What'm I saying. We ought to get out of here. Gives me the willies."
balletbattler: (fight me)

[personal profile] balletbattler 2016-01-01 10:06 am (UTC)(link)
[The way Pearl's eyes widen and jaw drops just a bit signifies that there's something familiar about what he's saying. Which just makes this whole thing more suspicious. She lifts the spear a little higher.]

How do you know about that?
balletbattler: (ah yes)

[personal profile] balletbattler 2016-01-01 10:10 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I guess it's alright, since this is a dream and all.

[She waves at the air like she's lazily swatting away a fly.]

What's your name?
balletbattler: (duh)

[personal profile] balletbattler 2016-01-01 10:14 am (UTC)(link)
I'm perfectly capable of putting something back together once I've taken it apart, thank you.

[She sticks her nose in the air, indignant. Then she goes back to looking at the edges of the panel, trying to determine what one would need to get the casing off without breaking it.]

Unless this ship has some sort of self-destruct function once you open it up, which I'm sure you can agree would be ludicrous considering the probable need for frequent minor repairs and modifications.
fromearth: (I mean...)

[personal profile] fromearth 2016-01-01 10:34 am (UTC)(link)
[ He watches her for a moment, brow arched. ]

Ship's shaped like a guitar. So. Kind of past ludicrous.
balletbattler: (euurrr...)

[personal profile] balletbattler 2016-01-01 12:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[Pearl falters.]

While that... may be true... it still has to operate on some tangible form of mechanics.
actsmagnificent: (later)

[personal profile] actsmagnificent 2016-01-01 04:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Nah, looking at that confused face, she's not annoyed. Usagi trying to do everything herself and falling into enemy traps is annoying. Usagi befriending people who really need to just get off Haruka's lawn planet is annoying.

Usagi having the priorities of a six-year-old is cute. Laughing, Haruka just sticks her hands in her pockets and starts walking faster by way of reply. She connected with Usagi Tsukino before she swore allegiance to Sailor Moon. It's good to be reminded of why. ]
Come on. We don't want them to leave without us.
scalpedsociety: (introspective)

[personal profile] scalpedsociety 2016-01-01 04:48 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't even remember being into that. So I guess this how my dream self decorates.

[She doesn't mention the flinch, but it still bothers her.]

It's not bad.
actsmagnificent: (cute)

[personal profile] actsmagnificent 2016-01-01 04:50 pm (UTC)(link)
You're quite the kid.

[ But she won't worry too much about that, Haruka decides the longer the kid speaks. It's not like she hasn't seen babies do things babies shouldn't be able to do before.

Plus. Alien invasions really are kind of her bread and butter. Haruka still doesn't like the idea of leaving her post, but can she really leave something this widespread to other people?

She looks away, thinking. ]
....I won't take orders.
invisiballman: (surprise)

[personal profile] invisiballman 2016-01-01 04:59 pm (UTC)(link)
I've been here the whole time.

[That response is automatic, but there's something comforting in the familiar interaction.

Which dissipates on the word 'muse.' Because that's a new one. Kuroko has long considered Kise a rival, and a friend, but he's fairly sure he's never been anyone's muse. That, combined with the comment about 'finally' seeing his face, is leading Kuroko to an unfortunate conclusion. But he'll ask before he assumes.]


You've seen my face many times before, Kise-kun. What do you mean by 'muse?'
saikapath: (☆ And they filled it up)

[personal profile] saikapath 2016-01-01 05:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Your best friend? I'm sure he'll be happy to see you.

[She smiles, a tiny, warm smile.]

Celty-san has already helped me in the past. I'll be glad to help her, too.
saikapath: (☆ Don't mind me)

[personal profile] saikapath 2016-01-01 05:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[That wasn't what Anri expected in the least. Not that she was sure what she had expected, just that it wasn't that. She's not frightened, really, just surprised.]

Where... where did you come from?
nuns4money: (calm)

[personal profile] nuns4money 2016-01-01 05:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[It's what makes the world go round, despite what stupid people say.]

So it's a rescue mission and and robbery. I can mess with that.
invisiballman: (deadpan)

[personal profile] invisiballman 2016-01-01 05:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[It's a strange dog. And a strange human, to be honest. Always polite, Kuroko bows as well.]

It's a pleasure to meet you, Sonohara-san.

[The he sets Nigou on the floor and picks up his bag again. He'll let the dog stretch it's legs for a while. Nigou decides to take advantage of his newfound freedom to sniff at Anri's shoes.]

Have you heard anything about the place we're headed to? The person who recruited me didn't have much to say about it.
dame_tsuna: (heh)

[personal profile] dame_tsuna 2016-01-01 05:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[Tsuna smiles wryly at the nickname.]

Maybe it is...

[He's never thought too highly of himself, in either life, to be honest. But... if someone like this is risking going up against people like Mr. Blanche for his sake, then maybe he needs to try a little harder.]

It's not that I'm not grateful, but... Mr. Blanche and Lesedi are pretty strong. You should be careful.

[Although even as he delivers the warning, he can't honestly imagine Hibari losing against anyone.]
punchesyu: (haha yeahhhh can we not)

[personal profile] punchesyu 2016-01-01 05:35 pm (UTC)(link)
W-Woah, hold on a second. [He holds his hands up. That's a lot to take in.] This is already way too much like a freaky paranormal horror flick. I don't think I can handle sci-fi getting thrown in there too. We're not aliens or anything.

[Why it nags at him so badly that he just might not be from Tera, he doesn't know. But it does, it adds to the ever-growing hole of stuff that doesn't add up. He tries to think back, he has memories of living on Tera though. They're fragmented, and he feels a block every time he tries, but they're there.

Right?]
yellowcopycat: (fond smile)

[personal profile] yellowcopycat 2016-01-01 05:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[Kise raises an eyebrow at the 'I've been here the whole time' comment. His muse has a low presence now that he can actually see him. But even with that low presence there's something magnetic about him, like a mirage or a phantom. Blink and it'll disappear]

I have? Well, yeah, sorta. I think about you a lot when I write lyrics. You inspired a few of our hits!

[He smiles and begins to sing]

No light, no light in your bright blue eyes
I never knew daylight could be so violent
A revelation in the light of day
You can't choose what stays and what fades away


That's what I mean when I say you're my muse.

[He frowns, because surely, a muse would know they're one, wouldn't they?]
yellowcopycat: (Default)

"Soracchi!" Ryouta turns and beams at his friend.

"That was nothing! You should see some of the other stuff I can do!"

Unlike Sora, Ryouta doesn't really pick up on the oddity of the dream. He's a little confused, but once the basketball was in his hand he felt right at home.
