☆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.

Nope, that's my house. [She nods to the house with the open door and light streaming through the open kitchen window.] Right where I'm supposed to be, obviously.

[Their quiet laugh gets hidden behind one hand, but it's not enough to hide Mammon's grin.]

You'll experience a lot of things that seem like they should be tall tales. Fortunately, there's the rest of us to deal with it if it's too much for you. The only pity is that I don't think there's any one onboard this ship who's a professional at playing around with those kind of things.

[Another door, another press of a button, and they're stepping into a small mess hall. Mammon immediately heads for a certain corner where there's a cylindrical protrusion from the wall. Just a fancy refrigerator, as far as they've been able to tell, and its door slides open for them as they come closer. Good thing the pilot of this ship thought to stock up, because Mammon has no trouble in going through it all.]

Let me guess- liquor of some sort for drink?
avidita: (pixiv 1810447) (I say this as a friend: you would make)

[personal profile] avidita 2016-01-05 08:02 am (UTC)(link)
Their first impression is that's one of the more ridiculous names they've come across in their profession. The second-

"Oh, the planet Mars?"
avidita: (pixiv 1810447) (I feel like we have a good system)

[personal profile] avidita 2016-01-05 08:18 am (UTC)(link)
She's my partner, yeah. And close enough- I'm an illusionist.

And I can guarantee mine works.

"Thank you." With mug now in hand, they go back to the coffee machine and put it in place. Now comes the educational part. They start to point out the different functions, explaining as they go.

"This lets you decide on the type of roast, and this lets you adjust the boldness of the flavor. Tapping on this button, here, lets you get more detailed. For example, adding milk or water to an espresso and how much of it."

Shut up, his name is super cool and really normal.

"Yeah. You know another one?"

[Roy frowns. This dream continues to puzzle him. Where is the stage and the audience he regularly dreams of just about every night?

Still, there's no use in getting frustrated with the stranger in front of him. He can entertain the possibility.]


Riza Hawkeye?

[His pupils dilate for a short silent moment and he's frozen like a skipping record. Then a moment later he's back, blinking and frowning in skepticism.]

Doesn't ring a bell. Is she a fan? Is that what this is about?
oldblush: (6)

sorry this is so late!

"I..." She bites her lip, looking around the battlefield. She feels like the answer should be yes, but...

"... No," she says, looking back at the girl. "I... I'm pretty sure I've never been here in my life."

She pauses, just a second.

"This is a dream, isn't it?"

It feels like a dream. But something about the ground she's standing on feels the same way as that strange memory at the party – that burst of greenery and awe.

"Not my problem," Riku said and banished his Keyblade. "I only told you because I figure you would understand."

He crosses arms and leaned against the wall. "All they need to know is that I'll stop anyone who tries to endanger the world."

[ Haruka snorts - at least the kid owns their limitations - and falls into line. She's okay with going slowly. It gives her time to mull things over.

There's a lot to think about. But only some of it is important. ]

Badly.

[Cassandra always saw right through her and she was pretty sure Baal could read her mind or something. When you hang out with the divine, your lying skills turn pretty shit.

Still, she was able to lie to her parents.]


Did manage to convince my mom and dad I was going to college, though...

[She trails off as if trying to figure out if that counts or not.]

"I'm not a hallucination. I'm dreaming!"

Laura almost shouts it, and notices her voice doesn't carry through the empty stadium like it should. In fact, no sound echos.

It's very weird.

"What the hell do you mean: who am I? Luci it's me!"

She's hoping Luci is just being weird and vauging at her or something instead of... what it sounds like.

[He heard that! Though he was going to feign that he didn't only because the new room was full of strange looking drawers and doors and tiny machines and Jack was having a hard time of keeping his fingers to himself. So while his guide was digging around in that weird ice box, he was pulling open drawers and sliding open doors, snatching at stuff that looked even slightly interesting.

Which meant that he now had a can of something, a few pieces of cutlery hidden about his person and was currently shaking a box of something suspicious next to his ear, before attempting to bite it.]


Aye, rum if they have it. [He stuck his tongue out at the brightly colored box and sniffed the top of it.] I find mesself perplexed that something that smells faintly of perfumed fruits tastes like badly waxed paper. [He gives the box another shake and stares at the writing.]

Is 'Special Surprise Inside!' a mystic incantation and should I be hiding 'fore it does surprise me?
dishonestlyhonest: (that's a puzzle)

He was actually surprised that his speech made sense. Maybe it was because he had a few slugs of rum before this or maybe he just managed to come up to someone that already had experience with this kind of thing. Whatever the case was, Jack was feeling a little pleased with himself. Although he wasn't sure if he completely understood what she was saying - maybe she was more like a pirate lady then an actual lady given the brightly colored clothing and breeches and all. He certainly thought that a well-mannered woman wouldn't have said pissed so easily or at least so loudly in front of a man, even if he was of the scruffy sort.

"Yes." He nodded, smile slightly uncertain at the other name. There was a Doctor he could have talked to? That prospect was almost as terrifying as having Cortes' ghost on his tail once again.

"No?"
pteragrips: (no wai)

[personal profile] pteragrips 2016-01-05 08:24 pm (UTC)(link)
No, just a teenager. They are probably much worse than pirates. Jack just happened to come across one who was not only a superhero but had some kind of common sense. But she wasn't lying about being brainwashed or not doing what you want to do music wise; it was just two different occasions.

But she just got confused at his answer. Did he need Kira or not? She needed to think for a moment because he looked just as confused.

"Ok then...probably a good thing." She sighed, putting a hand on a hip. "So, is there a plan to get these guys out or is it one of those 'fly by the seat of our pants'?"
lightthedarkness: (Usagi) (Um... what?)

[personal profile] lightthedarkness 2016-01-06 12:29 am (UTC)(link)
"Normally? Three meals a day, and the occasional snack. Although breakfast is usually light," because she is forever late. She should be renamed Shiro Usagi, the white rabbit from that children's book. She tilted her head. "Why do you ask?"
lightthedarkness: (Sailor Moon) (A light in the darkness)

[personal profile] lightthedarkness 2016-01-06 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
"Are you dying to protect someone here?" she asked as she moved to sit next to him. She smiled, knowing in her heart that he was a good person as well and just needed help. She tilted her head. "I think that's very noble of you, but that is not why you are here. That isn't how the cauldron works."
lightthedarkness: (Serenity) (The moon's shining light)

[personal profile] lightthedarkness 2016-01-06 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
She smiled and pressed her hands together. "That's very sweet of you, thank you. I appreciate that. Although, I suppose it's not that big of a deal if people knew, it's just not something I'm used to telling." She saw the way his face was burning up and did her best to reassure him, not wanting him to feel bad.

"I'm Usagi Tsukino! Although ah, since you know I'm a princess as well, I suppose I should tell you that I am also Princess Serenity. But please just call me Usagi, Riku-kun."
nuns4money: (...yeah bro)

[personal profile] nuns4money 2016-01-06 01:18 am (UTC)(link)
Well, that just means he's focused on things... (or gay). "But it's red and do you know what this ship does?"
dame_tsuna: (how do i use this?)

[personal profile] dame_tsuna 2016-01-06 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
[Well, he's also remembered Kyoko. But Gokudera and Kyoko are the only ones so far!]

I hope so. Nothing makes any sense right now.

[He feels like things would start coming together if he could just remember a little more. Isn't it sad how he expects his memories to make thing less confusing?]

Vongola Famiglia? What is that?

[Tsuna can't imagine anyone making him the head of anything.]

She puts her hands behind her head and smiles. "Feels good to talk about it finally. I had to be all shush back home. No one gets to hear the agent stories." Would they even believe a squid like her? "But no one's gonna hear about this either. Life of a hero and all."

[personal profile] woomy 2016-01-06 04:30 am (UTC)(link)
"For the most part, Inklings don't either. We've sent stuff into space, but I think the Octarians might have more access."

She shrugs. If Master Riku is recruiting, then he obviously has a way to get them to where they need to be. It'd be just plain abalone to not. "So do we have a plan, or is it hopping from spot to spot saving people?"

It can be a lot of things. You can capture the most turf, keep your ink in a certain area the most, bringing a tower to the enemy spawn or the Rainmaker.

[ The Rainmaker is a big golden fish weapon. ]

Oh, and you can't forget Splatfests!

Were Greg in full possession of his memories, he'd agree that he is just as good a rock star no matter how he looks. As is, he's mostly confused, and positive he'd get fired like this. (Which... might not be the worst thing to happen, but.)

Has he heard of MTT? It sounds like a thing he could have heard of, maybe. He smiles faintly, again. "A smaller label, huh?" Because clearly that's what MTT would have to be. "That might be nicer. But... I can't."
hearted: (shower of light)

[personal profile] hearted 2016-01-06 04:47 am (UTC)(link)
Worse?

[Yup, that's the anger burning up inside her.]

How cruel! They clearly don't understand what they have at all! Someone oughta knock 'em down a few pegs.
