( TDM | #3 )

[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.

Prompts A and B take place on the island above Aimintas, so in-game characters can only utilize these prompts if they know how to get here or you can handwave how they would get there. It's not that deep.

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... One point of implant is a sandy beach, next to an ocean shore. This may not be that abnormal to you, but there is a point of interest -- there is a huge, pulsating cube that lies inland, covering most of the island. There's about a mile stretch of land surrounding the cube's sides that is forested and sandy, but that's it. There is the ocean, though the tide is very choppy. Characters may be able to swim across...or can they? A ▢ Want to take a dip in the ocean? If you're so inclined, be careful -- the currents are strong and can quickly suck your character under if you aren't careful enough. There ARE boats on the shore, and you can also utilize these as a means of escape. Your character will just have to hope there's someone around to help them if they land in trouble! B ▢ Some other characters may be checking out the island, so there's a chance your characters aren't alone on this mysterious island! If you ask them where you are, your character can take a magical journey to their real destination. Hope they aren't afraid of water travel.

The more fortunate potential coven members -- or those who made it from the island to Aimintas -- are located in the marketplace. There they'll be introduced to the Palai, their strange cultures and attitudes, as well as renewed excitement at the new members. There's getting to be so many coven members that they won't immediately recognize new additions from the old guard, but they're hospitable creatures anyway. C ▢ The Palai have recently become interested in weaponry, especially weapons powered by Elto energy magic. There are still Palai youth who haven't learned their lesson from the coven celebration, running around and shooting characters with magical slingshots in an effort to be mischevious. The newer development, though, is that the older Palai are also trying to get in on practicing using weaponry. Because they aren't totally sure who are new coven members and who has been here for a while, a Palai might challenge you to a duel. Will you take this as a threat, or the friendly scrimmage that it's intended to be? D ▢ The Eltos are being utilized more and more for technological advancements, and while the Palai have failed at flying machines, they are trying to work on other, newer forms of transportation. They're still in the early stages of development, and they're looking to create transportation modes outside of the objects young Elto magic in an effort to have fun and play. However, this requires some experimentation. Characters may find that certain items they touch immediately become motile, from pens that lunge forward and propel their holder through the air, to rugs that become magic carpets once they're stepped on. To everyone else: watch out! E ▢ Despite the recent death of some Palai, the Palai "mating season" is beginning soon -- while their mating season syncs up with their past life as wild creatures, this is more so like a two week long Valentine's Day for their species. Palai are very much invested in family and relationships, and they haven't let go of pushing this belief onto coven members. While their ideal family unit is three beings, they're willing to take baby steps. Your character has suddenly been grabbed and sat next to another character and the questions begin. The Palai matchmaker begins with this one: "What do you look for in an ideal partner?"

The land of Aimintas recently experienced some salty rainfall -- actually that's still going on for some reason. When will it stop? Nobody knows. Because their resources may be limited while new harvesting methods are implemented, the Palai have to limit their use of vegetables, fruits and grains as the ones currently planted may be too damaged by salt water to be used. This has caused some changes to the Aimintas marketplace, reflecting the food rationing. F ▢ The smart Palai have actually been saving up some of those dead fish that were falling out of the sky. Don't worry, they've been properly iced. The food being sold around the marketplace will focus on this fish, though they do need some characters to help prep the fish, including removing the scales and deboning the fish. Is your character good with a knife? G ▢ Alternatively, Palai chefs have been experimenting with a complete line of fish delicacies. From fish sandwiches to fish brownies, your character will likely be asked to try a nasty ass fish something or other. Unless they're into that kind of thing, it's going to be hard to swallow -- but the Palai hope your character likes their new foods! 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!

gran | that one mobage that has his name in it (granblue fantasy)

[zanctiezel]

C-1:

[Gran can be found among the children where... There is actually a small "army" going on. There is a fort of crates and boxes with lizard children all around and a wall in front of the fort made of more boxes.

Should someone approaches, the children take aim with the slingshots and Gran looks over the wall to see the visitor. Apparently a captain got named "king" of the fort. The young man gives a sheepish grin despite he's sort of lost among the chaos.]

Uh... State your purpose?

E:

What-

[Of all the things he gets dragged into, it's speed dating. Gran scratches his cheek as his eyes glance away from his random partner.]

My ideal partner? Someone kind and easily to work with... I also travel a lot so they have to travel to the end of the skies with me. That's a little romantic to say, right? Even if they can protect themselves, I want to protect them too.

[he's trying.]

E

[lohengrins]

[ he supposes that he isn't all too recognizable when he's turned around, in lofty casualwear and has his hair in a ponytail.

but percival recognizes that voice anywhere. it stirs something within him, and the shock of being suddenly seated before what he thought was a stranger is replaced with glee.

smiling, he replies. ]

My ideal partner is brave — strong, compassionate and competent. Someone who does what they must, and fights for the populace of the realm rather than their own interests. My ideal partner is...

[ his eyes are alight with affection. ]

Someone who I find by my side, in even the most difficult of times.

[zanctiezel]

[That voice quickly got his eyes to look at his partner and he almost didn't recognize Percival at first. His words makes him smile, but-]

You look a little cute in a ponytail, Your Majesty.

[Gran gotta tease sometimes.]

[lohengrins]

Eh...?

[ he smirks at that — please disregard the faint pink coloring his cheeks. ]

So you do like it up, Captain.

[zanctiezel]

Your hair is easy to put into different styles. I think Lyria would love it if you let her braid it.

[Okay he could flirt and protag charm Percival forever, but he remembers that... he's somewhere new.]

Do you know where we are, Percival?

[lohengrins]

I'm not certain about that — but I suppose I'd permit it. Lyria is one of my most treasured vassals, after all.

[ oh shit, right. snap out of dere mode. ]

This land is known as Aiminitas. It's home to the people known as Palai: they're an amiable sort. The coven intends on traveling to another world soon, however. I've been here for a month now. You're not the first member of the crew I've seen here...

[ a sigh. ]

Although, I was searching for you. Is Lyria here as well?

[zanctiezel]

Another world... [A bit confused, but he's curious enough to be excited since that's pretty much like traveling the sky from island to island. Gran always having that sense of adventure.]

Okay, but that's a problem because I haven't seen Lyria at all. You're the first I've seen from the crew.

[He's doing his best to keep cool, but of course he worries when Lyria is missing.]

I know it's not a great date idea, but we need to find her before we end up in another world! She could be here somewhere.

[gran, stop trying to play captain and suave bachelor at the same time.]

C-1

[nohproblem]

[Oh this looks like fun.

Kokoro salutes dramatically, her totally blank expression indicating absolutely no sense of irony.]

I seek an audience with your leader!

E

[subbed]

[ Yo, bud. Sandalphon's here to ruin your party, Gran. Just as you ruined his event. ]

Ha.

[ That's it. Just a scoff. Maybe followed with a very annoying grin. ]

[zanctiezel]

[goddammit sandals.]

Look, I was just answering the question. What are you doing outside of Lucifer's body anyways?

[He could have probably phrased that better.]

E

[lyst]

[ Fortunately, it's his castmate.

Unfortunately, it's someone who always seem like she's always on edge about things. ]

It's not Katalina, isn't it?

[ P R I O R I T I E S. ]

[zanctiezel]

[Oh geez.]

It's not Katalina! While she fits the description well... She has you. I would never dare to take her away from someone that makes her happy.

[Gran, don't fuel the yandere in Vira ffs.]
