☆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 YOUThese 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 TRUEThese 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.☆HELPFUL INFO► Follow the mod plurk for updates:interstellar5555

no subject
I have no clue who the fuck you are.
[He vaguely recognize him. He's... connected to the usurper? He's not sure]
Not that I'm not glad to be out of the goth get up An Xie makes me wear, but I should be getting back. Just point me in the direction of Vista City and I'll be out of your hair.
no subject
What are you on about this morning? You're the one who's here, not the other way around.
[Suga looked at him in confusion.]
Vista City? I don't know what you're talking about. So, if you're finished I'll be going back to training.
no subject
Oh, damn. I Bet Squalo-chan drugged me and left me out in the country side. That jerk!
[This said mostly to himself until Suga is standing in front of him]
Excuse me? I'm obviously lost here, and could use some help. I don't know what you're own about.
[He flaps his arms] You know who I am. You said my name! So obviously you know I'm not from around, so stop with the mind games! [Though it seems awfully familiar. Maybe not the school grounds but the area itself]
no subject
Yes, I know who you are Oikawa-san. We've played against each other a few times and met up for practices too. Wait, you really don't know who I am do you? You really don't know where you are. [Suga frowned. That wasn't right. What happened? Did he get hit on the head too hard with a volleyball or something?]
Alright, alright I will. But how did you end up here? Is there somewhere you can to go or something? [Suga didn't like that Oikawa didn't remember him. It hurt a bit more than he wanted to admit, but he was never one to turn someone away. Maybe he could do something.]
no subject
You know Squalo, right, the cellist from Manticore?
[Something's not adding up. Not at all. It's like they're having two different conversations.]
Okay, wait, time out. [He makes the time out sign] We've played together? I don't play volleyball. I'm a musician. From Crown of Thorns. Their Cellist?
[beat]
None of this is making sense to you is it?
no subject
Yes, we've played together in two different tournaments. You've won one and then my team won one too. I don't remember you being a musician or even playing an instrument.
[Suga shook his head again.]
No, it doesn't. I'm sure I'm not making any sense to you either. [All this was very confusing.]
no subject
[He brings his fist down into his open palm]
Alternate universes! Your Tooru Oikawa switched with me or something.
[Except, no, that doesn't feel right. And saying his name in Western order didn't feel right either. What this boy was saying felt... more right. He bit into his lower lip, thinking.]
What's your name anyways?
no subject
An alternative universe? Like something in the movies or manga? [Well, he sounded like Oikawa, but it couldn't be a different one. It would be hard to believe that it was a different one. When he said his name in the Western order it didn't sound right. Suga left his thoughts at his question. He really didn't know his name. Another reminder that things were different. Well, reminding him of his name wouldn't hurt.
Sugawara Koushi, though I don't mind being called Suga.
no subject
So much of science fiction has inspired real life. Like Star Trek's communicators inspired the cell phone. And now there's scientists saying they're looking for proof of the multiverse as they say it makes more sense to have more than one universe.
[He studies Suga for a moment. This is all becoming more and more surreal and yet familiar at the same time.]
Suga huh?
[He feels like that's not quiet right from his lips for some reason]
no subject
Sometimes you would use a nickname for me like 'suga-chan' or I heard that you call me 'Mr. Refreshing' too sometimes.
[Or that one time he let it slip when they practiced together. Suga remembered that, he knew it happened. He didn't know what else he could bring up that would jar anything loose or what he's supposed to do.]
no subject
[Okay, that... that, damnit! he can see the memory, but it's so foggy]
That would be my alternate self. Unfortunately, I haven't met a you from my universe.
Oh, I hope Jock!me is doing okay. My band is weird. And there's this tiny boy band child who has it out for me.
[But something tells him any version of himself has teeth]
no subject
Oh...yeah that is unfortunate. I'm sure that you is doing fine. Oh? Well, how is your band like? [Suga figured he should learn this Oikawa in front of him and the band he's apart of. It's still a bit hard to believe that Oikawa is in a band.]
no subject
We're a classical band, cello - that's me, violin, piano, percussion, and our lead singer on the harp. We're a goth band. [He rolls his eyes] I know, it's dumb. I hate having to dress up and pretend to be into death and sadness.
[Then he scowls] Our manager Xie An is heartless bitch. I hate her. I hate her more than I hate Ushiwaka-chan.
[He stops, as if hit by a truck]
What? I don't... I don't know...
no subject
Suga blinked when he mentioned Ushijima's name.]
Wait...you said...do you know who that is? Or anything? [Did he remember something?]
no subject
He puts his hand to his forehead. Trying to breath.]
Ushiwaka. I hate him. He's always blocking me.
[He's sweating. He remember's Ushijima's face. It was the first memory of this other life he remembered. His head hurts. This is weird. He has no idea what's going on.]
no subject
Here's a towel and some water. Do you need to sit down? We can go back to the gym if you need to.
[The sudden change startled him, but he recovered fast enough. It was from years of being prepared for any type of injuries on the court. He hoped he could do something to help him.]
no subject
I'm dreaming, I'm asleep. I need to wake up.
no subject
Oikawa? [Suga asked as he offered him the water. He didn't know what else to do or how he could help.]
no subject
This, this place, I'm dreaming. I just remembered. But... why is familiar? This isn't normal.
[He drops the towel and scans the area] Is it like inception?
