( TDM | #2 )

[spellbindmods]

IMPORTANT: This TDM takes place on the current world the coven is part of. Please read the linked Google Doc about the world AND be aware that the world is high-frequency, meaning canon magic and powers can be used.

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.

WORLD ONE: AIMINTAS

You 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... Some of you might open your eyes to find yourself wandering around a sandy area, outside of a large stone house. There's a large glimmering caravan floating around outside, which might intrigue you. There's also a lot of supplies, food, clothing...all just laying around outside. It's worth investigating, right? A ▢ Your character has found themselves arriving right outside the coven's new digs in Aimintas, and there's a lot of confusing stuff to look at. Th ocean in the sky, that floating caravan...your character probably can't get to that ocean, so they may want to examine the caravan. If they touch it, they'll immediately regret that decision -- the caravan has its own defense mechanism, and you can pick one or the other: - A1: Once your character touches the caravan, they can't remove their appendage from it. Kick it? Their foot is stuck. Touch it? Their hand is stuck. Lick it? Their tongue is stuck. They'll remain like this for 15 minutes without magical intervention. - A2: Your character's hand doesn't stay for long, but the caravan holds onto that hand for five seconds while giving your character a pretty excruciating burn. Medic! B ▢ Maybe they're smart and they don't touch the caravan. Let's go through all of this cool stuff on the ground! It might be sort of obvious that it belongs to someone -- a lot of someone's -- but your character is thirsty, confused...maybe there's some water or answers in this pile. And maybe there's also someone who catches your character going through their shit.

Other new potential coven members will find themselves in a completely different part of town. These lucky individuals will have suddenly appeared in the marketplace area of Aimintas, surrounded by walking lizard beings that suddenly turn and take an immediate interest in this stranger. C ▢ The Palai are very interested in the new coven members, and a new humanoid person -- or anyone that doesn't look like them -- will immediately catch their attention. They'll immediately find your character worth of their undivided attention, talking to them about coven-related things...pretty confusing right? If you need help with the short lizard folk, maybe someone will eventually arrive to help you out. On the other hand, you might learn something interesting talking to them. A friend might join in either way! D ▢ Once you break free of the Palai, you'll find that this marketplace is pretty interesting. It's a mixture of primitive and semi-modern technology...or is it totally unfamiliar to you? Never seen a cellphone before? Unfamiliar with the concept of women wearing pants? There's certainly something to see that'll interest your character here. E ▢ Finally, you might be hungry and thirsty after suddenly appearing. The Palai are masters of making food, including a new concoction of theirs that they're trying out in honor of all the new people. It's a sort of bottled fruit juice that has been energized by the Eltos. It's essentially the first Aimintas Red Bull, except on acid. The drink immediately makes anyone who drinks it extremely giddy, hyper and they may potentially hallucinate. It doesn't seem to bother the Palai's biology, but everyone else...oops!

The setting found in Aimintas is pretty expansive, so you have a lot of room to wander around. Here are a few things that might catch your eye if you're really committed to wandering around. F ▢ A house near the marketplace is incredibly special to the Palai people. Characters who wander near here will find a group of Palai who are even more excited about their new visitors: baby Palai. Some are still in eggs and kept inside, but the juvenile Palai are about two feet tall, rowdy and want to play with these new, bipedal creatures. Some of them still crawl around on all fours and are more lizard-like than others. Hope you're good with kids! G ▢ The Palai have constructed a large library in the middle of town. If you wander in here, you'll find a myriad of books in a strange language. The Palai are a rather visual people, though, so many include pictures and illustrations. They also have a collection of computers here that connect to the Aimintas internet, as well as visual media stations that can play videos -- though they're really just powered tablets that play video files. Time to get a little taste of the Palai culture. H ▢ 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!

[ Hana leans in close to see his phone's screen.

... He's so bad at pictures. ]

We're seriously going to have to raise your XP in picture taking.

[ That being said, this picture is just clear enough for her to say: ]

She looks so soft and fluffy! [ That might just be the blur, though. Oh well. ] Are her eyes really that blue?

[ Jumin, you've found a fellow in fawning over Elizabeth 3rd. ]

[yancat]

[Jumin has a new daughter and her name is Hana Song. He watches on approvingly. Yes, good. Everyone should love Elizabeth.]

Her eyes are as bright as sapphires if you ever saw them up close. I'm sure I have a better picture in my files.

[Please don't swipe left.]

[mekarekt]

[ That's such a cheesy thing to say... but still kind of cute since it is about his cat. ]

Oooooh! They look so pretty. I don't think I've ever seen a cat with blue eyes like that.

[ She's swiping right. ]

More pictures? I want to see! [ What kind of pictures are in this serious man's phone? Maybe there's a non-blurry picture that he's taken. With the way she's watching the screen intently, she intends on finding out. ]

[yancat]

[ He'd say the same thing about his girlfriend, though...

Anyway, he's preening! He might not look it, but he's preening! He's so proud of his cat. She'll win the British cat show one day.

But D.Va swiped right.

So. ]

[mekarekt]

[ More hilarious, less cute when it's about girlfriend.

What's even more hilarious? This picture. ]

OMG. [ Covering her mouth her free hand, she's taking his phone away before he can swipe right again and get rid of it. ]

Who's this? Your boyfriend? Are you into kinky stuff?

[ I'm so sorry. She has NO BOUNDARIES. ]

[yancat]

[NO DON'T TAKE HIS

Phone... Ugh. Just gonna... cross his arms, sigh and pretend he didn't hear all that. He is kinky but not with this guy? Or anyone? This got TMI. GIVE HIM HIS PHONE.]

No, that's Zen. I believe it's a promotional poster for one of his musicals.

with her* >:[

[mekarekt]

[ NO. What else is on here? Hmmm? If he tries to take it from her, she spins and dodges his hands. Hopefully he is following her down the street, too. Else he might not see his phone ever again.

This Zen is much more human than the Zen she knows. More attractive. If this is this Mr. Meow's friend she wants in on this circle. Does he just surround himself with good-looking people? ]

Suuuure it is. [ What happens if she swipes left like she hadn't done before? ]

You didn't answer if you were into kinky stuff.

I didn't notice shh

[yancat]

[Girl, where in Korea have you been? He makes like, ONE grab at his phone as he takes great strides chasing her down the streets.]

Why do you want to know? Do you have an interest in "kinky stuff"?

[Swiping left gets her this.]

1/3

[mekarekt]

[ Dodged!

Now her hand is planted on his chest while the other keeps his phone far away. ]

I don't have guys tied up with their hands above their head in my album. [ Thing is, ] You're not the first guy to ask me that, Mr. Meow.

[ On her phone, it's mostly selfies. Pictures of her fans around the world. Of her figurines she has posing in certain places in her small room. Landmarks when she used to travel around for expos. Nothing compared to what she finds in his phone.

There is a long moment of silence for this picture. ]

[mekarekt]

[ A long moment. The longest Hana has been quiet since she's been here.

Huh.

This is unexpected. ]

i am sorry for dva and myself

[mekarekt]

[ Although she's not giving him his phone back, she's allowing him to see what has made her go mute. ]

I get it! This must be your boyfriend. You can do so much better. He has a nice six-pack, though, I'll give you that. Maybe better than that other guy, Zen, right?

LMAO CHRIST

[yancat]

[THE DEADEST EYES. THE BIGGEST SIGH.]

No, that's the managing director. He accidentally sent me a strange photo, so I saved it. Why does everyone think I'm gay?

REMEMBER: HE ADOPTED THIS MONSTER

[mekarekt]

[ ... What.

This is no giggle. This is no snort. Between peals of laughter, Hana gasps ]

Why would you save that?

[ Half naked guys aren't a new thing for her. Sometimes she got weird pictures from her male fans in fanmail, but-- ]

Maybe he's gay and he was trying to flirt with you or get some pictures back. [ An idea suddenly comes to her mind. ] There aren't kinky photos of you in here too, are there?

where's the orphanage he wants a refund

[yancat]

Because it's funny.

[ The laughter is only expected, but he also has a feeling she isn't laughing with him. Is the managing director gay? He doesn't think it's an appropriate question to ask. As long as he stops sending him photos and does his job properly, it should be fine. But why should Jumin send pictures back... What...

WHAT......... ]

Is there a reason I should take pictures of myself? Either way, I wouldn't keep anything salacious on my phone on purpose. The app must be saving images automatically...

[ There are no kinky pics. Just pictures you'd expect from the rich kids of Instagram, only blurry. Also, his cat. ]

that's COLD

[mekarekt]

[ It is funny, but she didn't peg him for a guy that would find it as hilarious as she did. ]

That sounds like an excuse. It's cool. We all have things we're not proud of saved on our phones.

[ Her posing figurines.

What is Hana doing in his phone, now? It looks like she's in his contacts, but not to snoop around. She's putting in her name...

Smooth. ]

This is me. If service comes back, then send me more funny pics. Okay? [ His new contact: D.Va ♥ ^_~ ] Oh, yeah! Weren't we looking for pictures of your really pretty cat?

wait... i meant animal shelter

[yancat]

Yes, we were.

[ Jumin says as he swipes through Hana's own gallery. ]

I didn't know the youth were this narcissistic.

[ He's. Talking about the figurines. ]

ice fuCKIN COLD

[mekarekt]

[ NO!!!!!

Give her that! But, damn it, he's taller. A lot taller than her. He can probably keep it above his head and there's nothing she can do about it. ]

Youth! How old do you think I am? [ Better question: how old is he? ]

[yancat]

[RAISES IT UP HIGH as he keeps browsing.]

You certainly act younger. How do you fund your hobbies?

[mekarekt]

[ Here is Hana, tugging on Jumin's sleeves and arms trying to get them to LOWER. Why is he so tall? Are one of his parents half-giant? ]

Are you serious? I'm nineteen. [ And there is nothing that will get on Hana's nerves more than treating her like a child -- as if she doesn't have as much experience living as the next person.

Nineteen is still young, but don't tell her that. ]

Are you an accountant or something? Want to, gh! [ JUMPS TO REACH HER PHONE ] Be my personal budget manager?
