( TDM | #6 )



  • TDMs can be used for anyone interested in the game and/or testing out a new muse.
  • Test Drive samples are encouraged to be used for your application sample, though they are NOT a requirement.
  • Feel free to use one prompt, multiple prompts or make up your own!
  • These threads can be considered game canon upon game opening if you so choose.
  • Telepathy and magic can be used at any point in time on the TDM, from Prompt A to your wildcard prompt. A specific prompt exists, however, that makes sure all characters have an equal chance to use this mechanic within the TDM. You're encouraged to have characters use telepathy and their magic accidentally or even purposefully on any TDM prompt.
  • If you aren't set on your character's power yet or want to try out a few, you're still able to use the test drive. Maybe your character is a late bloomer and hasn't fully unlocked their intuitive drive yet. In the case of multiple powers, only prompts that contain the power you choose for your application will count as potential game canon threads.
  • While only one character can be apped or reserved during a cycle, feel free to post with more than one character if you like! This is for those who are uncertain of their first choice or who would like to try out different characters within the setting.
  • IMPORTANT: This world is low-frequency. No canon powers or abilities are allowed! Also check out the setting information for more info about what the hub island looks like and what can be found there.





    ou blink and that's all it takes. At first, the picture doesn't come in clear, like you're waiting for a screen to fully load -- more aptly, it's like you're waiting for a camera to focus so you can find image clarity. Before you happened to rapidly close your eyes and open them, your life was normal...well, normal for you, anyway. Fighting an alien, making a quesadilla, dying. And then that blurry picture suddenly takes over.

    There's a lot to take in here -- you feel weird, your surroundings are weird. Everything is just weird. For starters, there's that new piece of jewelery inserted in the space above your chest. That certainly wasn't there before you opened your eyes.

        A ▢ THus hub island is getting pretty chilly, which means the forest that contains the large, dinner-plate sized spiders is very still and quiet. No spiders are out and about to jump your characters -- but they are underground, lying in wait. Sometimes the best way for characters to get accustomed to their magic is to trigger their fight or flight response. One wrong step in the forest and they'll find their foot through a spider's brushy trapdoor or putting a little too much pressure on it for their liking. Are you ready to see what your character is made of?

        B ▢ The recent surge of rain has caused a few marshy areas, be it in the forest or a hilly landscape. Some swampy ground is more aggravating than treacherous, but the opposite is also true. Your character is strolling along, trying to find their way and all of a sudden SCHLUMP! Their leg is sunk into the ground up to their nether regions. Struggle, and the rest of them might fall in too...!

        C ▢ While your character is trying to figure out where the fuck they are, they may come across something scuttling about through the forest. Don't panic -- it's simply a scanner pod doing its due diligence and scouting for resources...oh! And it just happened upon something interesting: your character! This scanner robot is curious to investigate and record your data. Is your character going to trust them to do their job, or will they be suspicious of this looming machine?


    Here's the part where they finally locate something of use: the base camp. The murky, weathered location is a little distressed, and resource gathering is making coven members sparse. However, that doesn't mean helpful answers aren't only a step away.

        D ▢ One thing of note is that as they get closer to the base camp, characters will feel more and more of that strong, telepathic surge. Qri's caravan is sitting in the middle of the open area, which may explain the stronger magical signals. Traveling closer to this object, in particular, will cause that unfamiliar pang of intuition to feel that much stronger -- which also explains why their own thoughts are being broadcast recklessly to everyone else on the island.

        E ▢ Speaking of Qri's caravan, the floating "vehicle" currently has its trap door, hammerspace portal open. It's quite large and inviting, honestly. Want to get closer to Qri? Or maybe just take shelter from the few sprinkles that are still falling from the sky? Crawl on in! Just be warned: the door will close right behind your character, and that thing gets claustrophobic after a while.

        F ▢ Finally, since Brie is aware that a new world is approaching, she's gotten a little more weapon-obsessed. There are an assortment of weapons just laying all over the place, from swords to spears, from slingshots to...god, what even is that thing your character has never seen before. Whether they're curious about something and like to touch things that don't belong to them or Brie is trying to outfit them with a weapon that works for them, your character is now weaponized. What do???

        G ▢ Wildcard prompt. Go nuts and utilize your own creativity within the setting. This can mean striking out on your own or utilizing a certain location in a different way. The world is your oyster!

    [





    Miss Tousaka attempts to sock Gawain directly in the jaw.]
    triplebuster: (SMILE)

    [personal profile] triplebuster 2017-11-23 04:57 am (UTC)(link)
    [ It connects, because that's fair. ]

    A-ahaha, Lady Rin... Spirited as ever, I see.

    [ See: a more accurate depiction of Gawain. ]
    mouflon: (The sensation of squishing a ripe fruit.)

    [personal profile] mouflon 2017-11-23 05:12 am (UTC)(link)
    [She's show him spirited!!! Except probably not really, because she's mostly too busy being frazzled and stressed and incredibly displeased that first person she runs into is absolutely in her Top Three People She Doesn't Want To See Right Now. Because she's from vanilla Extra, how unfortunate.

    Rin glowers at him and folds her arms, but frankly, with all of that taken into account, her posture is less put-together and defiant than it might normally be.]


    Don't talk like you know anything about me. In the first place, why are you even...

    [...Okay, no, even she knows it's unreasonable to ask him why he's here. She can't come up with a more appropriate question, though, so she trails off with another scowl.]

    [ But Rin, he personally witnessed Hakuno take your entire character apart!? Although he still can't understand its appeal... Anyway, that's pretty much why he is able to take her attitude in stride. ]

    I must confess that I am just as confused as you are. This is neither a land nor a point in time humanity is familiar with. I daresay this is another universe entirely... But this is all mere conjecture. Without my Master, I am unable to contact Chaldea.
    mouflon: (The tip hits the ceiling.)

    [personal profile] mouflon 2017-11-23 10:02 pm (UTC)(link)
    [The name "Chaldea" doesn't ring a bell, and Rin likes to think she has pretty up-to-the-minute information on the things the Harways get up to. Still... It's not impossible that something of importance has slipped by her. In fact, she would be surprised if that wasn't the case. A faction doesn't stay in power through carelessness, after all.]

    "Chaldea"? You must be feeling pretty relaxed, to talk about something like that so freely in front of an enemy.

    [SHE'LL JUST BLUFF HER WAY THROUGH THIS CONVERSATION. IT'S FINE.]
    triplebuster: (fgo 4)

    [personal profile] triplebuster 2017-11-24 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
    [With those words, Gawain's expression is more alert. Impossible... He knew that vices like mammonism would be her downfall, but for the independent and strong-willed Rin Tohsaka to succumb to a demon pillar...!]

    Lady Rin, you're...!

    [Actually, he's quite shocked.]

    To think that you'd aid in the destruction of humanity...!
    mouflon: (Her lewd and meaty butt.)

    [personal profile] mouflon 2017-11-24 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
    [ . . . ]

    Wait, what?

    [Sure, the Harways would probably consider her goals conductive to the destruction of humanity, but... He was acting like this was news?]

    [personal profile] triplebuster 2017-11-24 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
    No, I misspoke. The restoration of the Human Order is complete, but there is still work to do. As long as the singularities threaten history, our resolve will never falter.

    [ Just more things that invoke the math lady meme, probably. ]

    Your methods were always vile, Lady Rin, but to willingly cooperate with the demon pillars is most inexcusable... My Master would certainly forgive you, but I cannot hesitate when so much is at stake.

    [ Aaand Galatine is out. Yep. This is happening. ]
    mouflon: (obscene spider silk)

    [personal profile] mouflon 2017-11-24 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
    [SHE JUST DIDN'T WANT TO LET HIM KNOW HE HAD AN ADVANTAGE OVER HER, WHY DID IT TURN OUT LIKE THIS???]

    W— Wait!

    [She probably should have anticipated this outcome. Unfortunately, she didn't, so now in addition to being lost, confused, and unarmed, she's being threatened with a sword. She spares the precious seconds needed to scan her surroundings for possible escape routes—but for as much as she loathes the thought of capitulating to him, her options are limited.]

    I don't— What are you talking about?!

    [It comes out as something that's practically a wail. How embarrassing.]
    triplebuster: (fgo 2)

    [personal profile] triplebuster 2017-11-24 06:40 am (UTC)(link)
    [ rIN................................

    Gawain lowers his blade, just as confused, but with some restraint. He doesn't wail like a banshee. That's what Rin sounds like right now. If she's that surprised, then maybe she isn't an enemy, after all? ]


    Hm? You declared your hostility so emphatically that I assumed you knew about the current circumstances of our world, but... Could it be that you know absolutely nothing?
    mouflon: (vulgar juice overflows from her crevice)

    [personal profile] mouflon 2017-11-24 06:53 am (UTC)(link)
    H-hey, when you put it like that...

    [It sounds really bad. She can't hide her embarrassment, her face reddening until it practically matches her outfit, but she grits her teeth and tries to ignore it.]

    You are my enemy. [She declares that with such certainty that there can be no doubt of it. But...] But I don't have the slightest idea of what you were just rambling about. Something weird is happening here, right?
    triplebuster: pixiv id: 65043982 (thinking)

    [personal profile] triplebuster 2017-11-27 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
    [ Ah. Idiocy is embarrassing, so he understands. It's okay, Rin. There, there. ]

    Yes, but what it is, I am not certain. We must set aside our differences for now. Although I have not forgotten Leo's kindness, he is not my Master. And... there are far more pressing matters at stake.

    [ He looks at the path ahead and the branches above them. ]

    First, we must leave this forest. It is a place the sun cannot reach.
