☆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.

Ah, well, then they're in trouble because Minako-chan is an amazing singer! [They really should have gotten Michiru and Haruka too since Michiru played the violin and Haruka accompanied on piano.] Ah, I wouldn't mind if it was just a singing battle!

[Even if she wasn't that great a singer, she would do her best for Rei and the others! At the mention of always finding another way... She tries not to think about how she couldn't find a different way with the girls when Galaxia had them. Maybe if she had had Ami or the others, some other way could have been found.

She wondered if they were so disappointed in her for that? She smiled though and nodded, putting on a brave face.
]

We'll do everything we can to save them, and save the fight for the ones who took all of them!


hearted: (leave it to the love goddess!)

[personal profile] hearted 2015-12-30 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
[Minako wouldn't falter. It was her job not to---okay, so they had a few missteps. They'd died once or twice, but they definitely wouldn't go down now. She had to live long enough to see Rei in concert and to save her soul...

...though after all that, Rei would probably never want to perform again. What a shame, but an understandable thing. But back in the present, Minako nodded seriously.]


I know we can do it. With all these new allies to stand with us...we'll find a way! Even if we have to sneak around a bit and infiltrate the record companies!

[...not that she was hoping for a chance to show off or anything.]
lightthedarkness: (Usagi) (You're amazing!)

[personal profile] lightthedarkness 2015-12-30 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
[She pulled out her disguise pen and tapped it against her cheek, winking in agreement. Admittedly, she didn't use it all that much, but if she needed to be stealthy?] If you have the compact, we can both blend right in!
hearted: (cheery)

[personal profile] hearted 2015-12-30 04:08 am (UTC)(link)
Of course I do! And even if I lose it, there's still those tricks I learned with the police department...so I think we're okay. We'll get Rei and everyone out of there, I promise.
lightthedarkness: (Usagi) (You're amazing!)

[personal profile] lightthedarkness 2015-12-30 04:35 am (UTC)(link)
Eh? [It was so rare for Minako to talk about her time as Sailor V in England that it still sometimes threw Usagi off when she mentioned something new.] Uwah! Minako-chan that's so cool! What did you learn!
hearted: (cheery)

[personal profile] hearted 2015-12-31 07:22 am (UTC)(link)
How to blend into crowds. It's pretty hard at first, but you've just gotta stay quiet and listen. Go with the flow, y'know?

Then I asked a bit about the kind of questions you ask on an investigation. Always important to take notes! Hey, you think they'll give us a notebook?
lightthedarkness: (Usagi) (What's my horoscope say?)

[personal profile] lightthedarkness 2016-01-01 04:06 am (UTC)(link)
Quiet... [Well... darn. Wait! She snaps her fingers.] Ah! Just hand me a manga! [She wasn't really the sort to talk while she read so that would keep her quiet, certainly.

Except then she'd get engrossed in the manga.
] Oh wait... er... [Well darn. How was she supposed to listen and go with the flow?

Give us notebooks? Probably not... uh, do you think we'll be without any money too?
hearted: (damsel)

[personal profile] hearted 2016-01-01 05:15 am (UTC)(link)
I'll give you one if I see it! Even if we don't need it...gotta have something to smile at, right?

[Yeah, she knows this best---can't be serious all the time, no matter what.]

Yeah, probably. It'll get rough out there, but we're tough, right? Pretty and talented girls can make money somehow!
lightthedarkness: (Usagi) (I can handle anything)

[personal profile] lightthedarkness 2016-01-01 06:16 am (UTC)(link)
The toughest! [Says the creampuff with the brightest smile ever imaginable. All the same, when push came to shove (as it most likely would) Usagi could handle herself better than anyone outside of the senshi would likely give her credit for.]
hearted: (cheery)

[personal profile] hearted 2016-01-02 07:25 am (UTC)(link)
[Minako claps, all determined to do this right.]

Did you meet any cool friends yet?
lightthedarkness: (Usagi) (This is so exciting)

[personal profile] lightthedarkness 2016-01-03 08:02 am (UTC)(link)
A couple! Some really nice people, and this absolutely adorable magical baby!
hearted: (i stand alone)

[personal profile] hearted 2016-01-06 04:49 am (UTC)(link)
...a magical baby?

[Now that's one she hasn't heard before.]
lightthedarkness: (Usagi) (So dreamy)

[personal profile] lightthedarkness 2016-01-06 05:15 am (UTC)(link)
Uwah! Minako he was so so cute! He had a little pet frog and he floated but he's probably under a similar situation like Chibiusa because he talked like an adult and I just wanted to hug his cute little baby face!
hearted: (damsel)

[personal profile] hearted 2016-01-09 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
Oh! So I bet they're pretty fun to talk to...but yeah, I'm worried about little kids on a rescue mission like this. We're going overboard into the deep.
lightthedarkness: (Usagi) (I'm scared)

[personal profile] lightthedarkness 2016-01-11 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
Oh no! Did you see a whole bunch of little kids? I only saw the little magical baby, but I don't think he was actually a baby, Minako-chan!
hearted: (Default)

[personal profile] hearted 2016-01-11 03:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Not yet, but I have my eyes peeled. If I see any kids in the music business, though...I'll make sure the managers regret it!

[She pumps her fist, sure as anything that she can win.]
lightthedarkness: (Usagi) (Can I really save them?)

[personal profile] lightthedarkness 2016-01-12 05:52 am (UTC)(link)
I wonder... why did these managers do what they did? Why kidnap people? Why brainwash them? Someone mentioned it was about energy, but... but what if it's more than that. I want to know why they did it. Are they trying to help their world? Or is it really just that selfish?
