( 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!

    [ Okay, that is pretty cute. And it's in his code to protect the weak (and preferably cute). Technically, Astolfo is pretty weak without his Noble Phantasms, which they have none of in this world...

    He hears a breath and the crunching of leaves in the distance. This will be a problem. ]


    Please get on my shoulders.

    [ Actually, he's picking him up right now. The sun's rays don't reach the forest floor, but Gawain's still strong enough to do this much. ]

    There's no telling what wild beasts lurk in these woods... Do you see anything from up there?
    unreasons: (Chance~)

    [ Astolfo's quivering lip immediately transitions into a beaming grin as he's hoisted on Gawain's shoulders. He settles himself a little and his thighs are pretty warm against Gawain's neck before he looks around them. This must be what it's like to be a Berseker. ]

    Ah! Thank you so much, Sir Gawain! Such a noble knight~.

    [ His hands rest on Gawain's head as he looks around for a moment. ]

    ...Eh. Nothing. Say, have you met your Master yet? I'm kind of concerned that I didn't find one when I showed up.

    [ Gawain's dick is honestly so confused right now. Cute + thighs - boobs = ???

    He's relieved that nothing is in their immediate vicinity, but he must remain vigilant. Their safety depends on it, after all! Also, Astolfo is distracting. ]


    Oh, no need for thanks. This is only my duty. [ Says the guy who was reluctant to let him ride a second ago?! He smiles as he sweats under this heat, wow, why is it hot all of a sudden— ] And no, I've yet to encounter them. Perhaps we'll find them outside the forest?

    [ Also, why does Astolfo make it sound like they have different Masters? ]

    ... But if we both cannot find our Masters, that might be another matter of grave concern.
    unreasons: (:|)

    [ Astolfo is 100% cute so Gawain's dick better get used to it.

    Astolfo leans forwards a little, frowning. ]


    And no sign of Mash either. Or any of the other Servants for that matters. It's weird, don't you think?

    [ Blink blink. ]

    Are you okay, Sir Gawain? You're getting a little red...
    triplebuster: pixiv id: 65119823 (curious)

    [personal profile] triplebuster 2017-12-17 01:40 pm (UTC)(link)
    [ Ah, he knows Mash. That's more like it. ]

    Please do not worry. I am merely unused to these conditions. [ Note how he doesn't specify what sort of conditions... ] However, I am sure that I will acclimate to them soon enough.

    [ He will try to get used to Astolfo's thighs. In the meantime, he holds onto Astolfo's ankles as! they walk! ]

    Our circumstances are rather strange. I must confess, I'm uncertain if we rayshifted with Chaldea's consent. Our Master is not so clumsy as to simply forget such important details.
    unreasons: (Some Ygdmillenia bullshit)

    [personal profile] unreasons 2017-12-17 08:03 pm (UTC)(link)
    No, it's very unlike her...

    [ Astolfo frowns and leans forward to rest more against Gawain as the pair tromp through the forest. He has to duck down once in a while to avoid branches. ]

    The mana thing is bothering me a bit, but I guess we just have to go along until we figure it out.

    [ No... Stop this... This is bad for his filthy self. ]

    Yes. If worse comes to worst, we will have to find Masters to sustain us very soon.

    [ But Gawain makes it clear in his tone that he Does Not Want to do that. ]
