☆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

Jack's question brings her back to reality] Huh? Oh, I'm fine, really. [but she will let Jack look at it. By now, she's wiped any dust or gravel from the area, but it's still red]
[ooc: the shrine takes after this one! I don't think there's anything that stands out, unless they head over to the ema prayer board :3 ]
no subject
[And he's off. He'll need water to properly care for her injury and who knows what memories might be jogged by a minute or two of solitude.]
no subject
...she really wishes this place was more lively. it feels like it should be. right now, everything is so lonely. she is grateful she's not alone]
no subject
It's a short time before the light clack of Jack's sandals on the stone ground signal his return. Without missing a beat, he crouches down in front of Molly and begins gently and carefully dabbing at the scrape with a cloth he'd wet from a nearby water source.]
Forgive me, admidst all this strangeness, I forgot to introduce myself. I am called Jack.
[Now does she remember her own name?]
no subject
I'm Molly. It's nice to meet you!
no subject
You as well. Though I wish it were under better circumstances.
[He produces another strip of cloth from his robe and winds it around her knee and tying it off before settling back.]
Is that better?
no subject
Yes, thank you. [she's feeling a lot better already, and not just because Jack took care of her injury. she doesn't feel lonely anymore]
no subject
This shrine is beautiful, it reminds me of.... [he trails off, his expression growing... sad for a moment before he shakes his head, dismissing his own memories for the moment] Before I show you how to meditate, would you like to look around? Perhaps something here may help to refresh your memory.
no subject
she slides off the ledge and lands on her feet easily, taking her time because of her knee] You think that'd work? Just looking around right now, I don't see anything I know.
no subject
I must confess, I... am not certain, I am no sage or mystic. But I do believe that we have been shown this place for a reason.
no subject
Her eyes then fall on the prayer board. She doesn't know what it is, so she goes closer to it to investigate. There are little wooden plaques hung on the board, and they look like they have writing on them, along with little pictures. She reaches out her hand to brush against one of the plaques, and an image flits through her mind. It goes by too fast before she can process it] What's this?
no subject
But as much as the questions of why and how weigh on his mind, he can't help but fondly take in the sights as he follows Molly through the shrine. When she stops at the prayer board, his eyes light up a little and he quickly joins her.]
It is a prayer board. [He doesn't touch the plaques himself but he looks over them. She doesn't seem familiar with it, so he explains.] The writing on these boards are wishes and prayers. People leave them here in hopes that they are answered.
no subject
no subject
He glances toward her at her question and nods.]
Yes, of course. Do you have a wish you would like to make?
no subject
I think so. I just have to write it down on one of these plaques, right?
no subject
no subject
I wish for more friends.
it's also decorated with a bird and a flower, since she saw drawings on the other plaques. that's an acceptable wish, right? and with the loneliness she was feeling before, Molly thinks it's a good idea. still, it doesn't seem to jog her memory, nor does it add any more life to the area]
no subject
After a moment, it feels like he should say something so after a short, uncertain silence he finally speaks up.]
A good wish.
