Arrival


Part 1


You arrive in an unknown space, dressed in white clothes (player choice what kind of clothes, as long as they cover everything). Whatever was happening to you before no longer happens. It's like everything was put on a pause and you were transferred away from the situation without you realizing it happened.

The space that you find yourself in is one of these four options:

An empty landscape filled with snow and ice, almost like a blank canvas.
A field with cherry blossom trees and spring flowers.
A sunny beach near an ocean that seems never ending.
A quiet forest with falling autumn leaves.

All of the spaces seem to continue endlessly. No matter where or how far you walk it almost seems like you're not moving at all. There are no animals here - just those who happened to wake up there at the same time, in the same place. Everyone is wearing the same kind of plain, white clothes.

Despite the possible rollercoaster of emotions you might be feeling, the place somehow feels familiar. Like somehow you belong there.

And it looks like you're not alone.


Part 2


After half an hour has passed the surroundings change as everyone is teleported into a room with all the other new arrivals, no matter what space they woke up in. It's a large place with plenty of seats to sit in and beverages to enjoy. Medical attention is offered to those who need it and the doctors here are very prepared for any challenging situations.

Here, in this room, everyone gets an answer to where they are and why. A hologram of a man appears at the center of the room, waiting to be heard. He brings a message on behalf of the leaders of Ellipsa.


The Message [ Click to Expand ]

Hello, my name is Olwen. I'm one of the leaders of Ellipsa as it currently is. I'm also one of the four who summoned you here.

Our world is in trouble and we need your help. I apologize for tearing you away from your world and forcing you to come here but I hope you understand. The magic we used doesn't let us ask in advance, nor does it let us choose who we bring here.

This world is composed of four Seasonal Segments. All of them represent one of the seasons. They were the places we used to get our resources from, but now they're dangerous places no one should go into unless they have the power to fight back. All of them have their own sets of powerful monsters and natural catastrophes.

We used to have plenty of people here who could control the powers of the four Seasons. We called them Seasonal Power Holders. Unfortunately, due to a tragedy you can read about later, we lost almost all of them. Now only four of us remain and the world is in chaos. We have done our best to protect the world, but we need more power holders to do that.

That's where you come in.

All of you have been assigned to one of the seasons. Whatever space you were in just now is what season you represent. You will learn different skills based on the season and those skills are going to help you save this world.

These powers don't interfere with your own natural powers. They use a new energy that has formed inside of you. It's harmless to your health, but it's vital to your seasonal powers. Your own powers should still work, even if the dark energy outside the city might interfere with them.

Unfortunately bringing you here wasn't as simple as it sounds. We couldn't do anything about how to keep you anchored to this world other than making a simple spell that helps with it. That is, you need to touch someone else who is not from this world ideally at least once a day. It will help you stay in control of your powers and boost your magical energy. If you don't, the consequences aren't very good. But as long as you hold someone's hand or give someone a handshake, you should be fine.

That's all I have to say about the situation. The staff of the Research Center will give you more information about housing and other necessary things. I will, however, promise that you will be sent home once the situation becomes better. That's the least we can do.


The hologram can be viewed in private in a separate room later, should someone wish to look at it again. For now, the staff of the Research Center hands everyone their new smartphones with their small flower lucky charms (the flower is anything the player decides). They're also told that the building next door is where everyone can find a room assigned to them with some of their belongings there and possibly even any animal companions. Those concerned about their mount-sizes companions are welcomed to the stables downstairs to see if their friends are there. The mounts are allowed to stay there until you find a place more suitable for them.

In the Arrival's hall there are also several stands with information pamphlets.

First type of stand is for the local Guilds and about the benefits or joining one.

Second type of stands is for the Welcome Center that aim to show otherworlders what the world is like and help guide people in the beginning of the journey and helps in getting settled into the new world. They even have people to help if you're unfamiliar with the new phones.

Once you get your smartphone and necessary information, you're urged to go out and find your apartment. After that whatever you want to do is up to you.

Part 3


The building next door is where everyone can find their new apartments. As you enter, you're told by a friendly native that for the first two months you can live anywhere rent-free and five meals a day are paid for you. After that they get a monthly payment that helps with some of their living expenses, but otherwise they have to have a job to support themselves.

All of the apartments are comfortable, two bedroom apartments with all necessary utilities. They are also completely soundproof. Sometimes the magic system, however, does glitch and you might find yourself rooming with a stranger. This is not the intention and the staff will immediately prepare you your own room if you ask them. But maybe having a roommate isn't all that bad?


Let Me Kiss You in the Pouring Rain


Part 1


The months of April and May are the time for a strange weather effect that affects all of the districts, except the one in the middle and Frostreign. It's not weird that it rains, but it's what the rain does that has been dubbed as the Rain of Affection. It's raining very often until the end of May at different times in the affected districts.

Anyone who stands in the rain will feel the need to get close to someone. It starts with a need to gently touch someone, but can escalate into needing a hug. The ultimate craving is kissing in the rain, but that's the most it can make happen. It's a very Safe For Work Rain Effect.

After a successful kiss in the rain, the cravings slowly become less urgent, but the effect can start all over again at any given time. Once someone is completely dry, they will be safe from effects restarting again.

Of course, there are individuals who don't get too affected by the rain (at all or not as badly) and it only works if it directly hits someone. So staying in a shelter or being in the unaffected districts is definitely a way to avoid this whole phenomenon. Even purchasing and using an umbrella helps. The shops around every district are very aware of the need for umbrellas, so there's definitely a variety of them being sold. Some of the umbrellas have a variety of harmless magical effects, like changing the color depending on the users' mood.

Part 2


An unexpected secondary effect has been discovered with this year's rain. Anyone who tries to ignore the urges to be close to someone for too long (two hours) may find that some of their other feelings get amplified. Especially feelings someone might have been suppressing will suddenly feel impossible to ignore.

Hugging someone will make the feelings return to 'normal' easiest, as it's almost instant. Getting out of the rain and changing into dry clothes also helps, but the effects will go away slower.

Most of the shops around the districts have prepared private rooms for anyone who needs a place to calm down, in case they're far away from home. The various invisible shop fairies will also help someone contact their friends if they're unable to do it themselves - as long as they manage to say someone's name.

Just like with the regular effects, some people might be less affected by the amplified feelings. It really depends on the individual (= player's choice) how the rain affects them.


Shine Bright Like a Diamond


Part 1

Tents have been built into various places around the city, to give shelter from the rain. These tents are also workshops for crystal and gemstone crafts. A group of crystal miners have decided to share the rest of their gemstones and crystals so that people can make themselves magical weapons, protective armors and accessories or just normal decorations.

Crystal Mine is one of the places that was lost to "The Darkness" and it existed in the Autumn Segment. All crystals and gemstones from the mines have a natural magical aptitude, meaning they can be easily enchanted into various purposes. They were used for armors, weapons, accessories and such to help fight the monsters of the world.

All of the crystals and gemstones are in alphabetical order and the miners happily answer any questions about them, such meanings and symbolisms they might hold. They can also make suggestions for which ones to use in the same craft.

One of the miners is especially keen on telling about Birthstones and suggests using them as an accessory that you carry around everywhere. He's a firm believer that keeping a birthstone on your person will bring someone luck and protection from evil forces.

Part 2


Crystal and gemstone enchanting is managed by the teachers from the Magical Manor. They will hold lessons where they demonstrate how to get the results you want the most. The key is to be positive. The more positive feelings and words you feed the crystals and gemstones, the stronger the enchantment will be.

The enchantment can be anything from more strength into a weapon to just a nice, warmly glowing flower that helps someone sleep. Imagination is the limit, though even the enchantment can't make someone's armor permanently invincible or make their weapons kill things in one shot.

Enchanting your friend's, family member's or loved one's crystal or gemstone will make the magic twice stronger.

Those who have difficulties in being polite can either get fairy dust sprinkled on them to make them happy or they can ask someone else to help them. Needing to fake happy feelings will lessen the strength of the spells, but it works nonetheless.

Part 3


If someone does manage to pour negative feelings and words into their enchantments, they may cause the crystals and gemstones to form negative monsters. These monsters are ethereal and usually look like small goblins that eat positive energy from anyone within one-mile radius.

Attacking them with magic and weapons doesn't work, as they have no actual bodies, but trapping one between two people holding hands will make them feel overwhelmed by the sheer energy the handholding provides and disappear. They will do their best to suck as much positive energy into them before they do, though!

Someone who has their positivity stolen will slowly recover it over time (it takes at max. a day), but holding foreheads together with someone will speed to process.



Oh? A little extra


Starting from April 19th onwards, characters may find a peculiar basket on their table. This basket comes with any kind of pokeball (except Master Ball), some Pokémon Food and Treats, and a Pokémon Egg of any species that can have an egg (except the rare mythical/legendary/special ones that are able to). This Pokémon also has a chance to be shiny.

The note attached to the basket says "Sounds can be heard coming from inside! This Egg will hatch soon!" The egg will hatch anywhere between a few minutes to few days.

Anyone asking about how this came to be, the research center staff explains that it was a "metaverse miracle" and they asked the fairies to help them contribute the eggs to otherworlders, seeing as they already had Pokémon experience.

(NOTE: Pokémon Guidelines apply to these new hatching Pokémon as well)


OOC TIPS


- Ask your questions related to the TDM here.

- The TDM is available only to friends of the mods and their friends. If you want to play in the TDM, please leave a note here to inform us who invited you over. We will get to you as soon as possible.

- Test Drive is open for current characters to make a top level as well. New characters can add TDM on their subject line to indicate they're new!

- Current characters cannot access the starting area again to meet new arrivals. They can, however, be at the Research Center when the newbies are teleported in.

- The TDM is game canon so anything in the TDM can happen for your character(s) in the game as well.

- Smut is not allowed on the TDM. You can play situations leading to it, but if the thread is turning into smut, please move it to a private space such a post in your character's journal, or a locked post in the game's log community if you decide to app!

- Check Locations: City to find more areas to explore inside the city. Every place in the districts are open.

- Similarly, Locations: Segments is useful for outdoors adventures.

- You can find monsters to encounter on Beastiary.

- FAQ has information on characters' smartphones as well as general things about the world that might be handy.

But she pulls away and he turns to face her. His eyes go a little wide, more expressive than the first time they met. It's still a slow progression; he might be a blank slate again next time. This rain is getting to him.

Ah...

[The question, coupled by the unimpressed look and flying goblin, catches Gil off guard and temporarily distracts him from his panic.

He watches in silence with zero concern for the goblin's wellbeing as it flies and lands somewhere and the way the rest of the goblins stop in front of Levi out of respect (fear)?]


What's wrong with... [Raven!!! His panic floods in at full force as he points at Raven. Levi doesn't seem too worried, maybe he has a better idea of what to do!] Raven's normally not this small! I'm worried something may be inhibiting their powers, or those creatures are making them sick? But that shouldn't be possible?!

Kristoff Bjorgman | Frozen | Autumn | New Character

[personal profile] grumpyvoice 2024-05-02 07:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Arrival


( Part 1 )

Kristoff remembers being in the forest just the moment he wakes in a different forest. He knows immediately it’s different and as he looks around and then down at himself the confusion increases. His clothes are now all white and as he glances around he sees others but they don’t look like anyone else that he’d seen in the enchanted forest.

“Anna? Sven? Elsa? …Olaf?” He cups his hand to his mouth as he calls out. For some reason, he doesn’t feel so confident that any of them are going to answer. “Ryder?”

Well, what was he going to do now… He had to find Anna, so he can’t just stay here.

Oh? A Little Extra


[ Kristoff finds himself with a Roggenrola within a few hours of finding the egg in the apartment that he’s still getting used to. Luckily or not he’s in a park when it hatches and he scratches his head as he looks at it. ]

A…rock just hatched from an egg.

[ He’s seen a lot of weird things but this is pretty high up there as the rock starts toddling around. ]

Next thing you know a snowman’s gonna have a fire baby.

[Likely the deep, deep irony here is that he had (at certain points) seemed fearful of things approaching ambitious, and did hold back for fear of adopting his father's "habits". He, in turn, gave half himself. Half his power, half an effort, half his Quirk. Tepid, "feckless, half-baked puppet". He lifts his face—having guessed at his presence already (few things help in fully disguising his favorite smoke scent)—inclining his head a half tilt back though hands on shoulders stay familiar enough. Peering through fringe with slight nod back. Ah. Thank you; yes, I've tried. He likes this voice, much as he's fumbling with its praise.

A lot of light's returned to those sharp, steely eyes of his. His brows go up, though his own low voice remains ridiculously flat.]


But it's obvious it's novice work...

[A clinking bundle "floats" its way from Shoto's palms to the other's. Emeralds inlaid in a flower-etched tsuba, small sword peg fittings, and ear-cuffs. Black leather gloves show one gem each: a sanded ring of cleansing onyx; all things paired with raven brooch with eyes of rounded, fiery opals.

And more works, yet.]


I only remembered my oldest healing spells—

[The bright intensity of his hopes, paired with various incantations, words of strength, and enchantments. He loves his friends, and that's enough.]

I haven't eaten the flowers here, though.

[Anna isn't that difficult to find. Sure, it's a big or more like a huge place but she's one of those people, who enjoy going all around everywhere and really can't stay still... Whether that makes her easier or more challenging to find is another thing entirely.

But right now she just so happens to walk into that same park with a flying ice cream. It's a Vanillite.]


Okay, okay, so you're a baby ice cream and you just hatched from that egg instead of being a baby snowman brought to life by my sister having a cold and sneezing all around Arendelle... Don't look at me like that, it's -- okay, I see your point, neither of them is really weird compared to the other but--

[Anna stops as soon as she hears the man talking to someone or something and she'd recognize that voice anywhere. She spins herself around to look at him like she can't even believe her own eyes, she hasn't seen him in what feels like forever.]

Kristoff??

[please don't let this be one of those weird dreams, illusions or whatever else here, please.]

[Rained-soaked lilies are salvaged easily enough—but now, he's stealing a glimpse that still inflames his own worries. His sigh's a fog, and he shakes his head.]

It's not just sensei that I'm worried about...

[Which is to say, he always is-] And besides, [an anxious shyness grips his chest, and he ducks his face as if to bury its evidence. How even now, he works to speak; wants to communicate that, "no, food is not the most important..." That she's important.

He drops his eyes.]


Friends should worry... about their friends sometimes. [So- so he's heard!]

[Firefly was completely absorbed in her work. There's something about making things, even as simple as a band with only a single gem set into it, that feels... good. Her hands have only been good for fire and destruction for so long, after all, so.... it's a good change. Especially when she's making something for a friend.

But she's not so absorbed that she doesn't notice the sudden burst of chaos. Monsters spawning all around them, some people running and others moving forward to fight or contain. Firefly's not stupid - jumping in to fight an enemy she has no information on is foolish in her current state. So she quickly grabs the project she's working on, intent on hurrying out with the others running for safety...

... She hesitates, though, when she sees Avi struggling to help with herding the monsters back.]

I know I don't. But I still want to.

[Even though she mourned the loss of all her funds that first time... it was worth it. And it's not like she had much reason to spend it, with how fast everything seemed to happen shortly after...]

Maybe it's a bit selfish of me, but... it feels nice to spoil my friends a bit.

🐉 Raya | Disney's Raya and the Last Dragon + Isle of Avalon CRAU | Summer | in the game

[personal profile] mistrustingheart 2024-05-02 11:47 pm (UTC)(link)
🌈 RAIN
[When your best friend is a water dragon, who can easily make rain happen anywhere anytime, then it's probably not a surprise, that she thinks it's Sisu's doing when the rain suddenly starts out of nowhere for the first (few) time(s).]

What's with the sudden downpour?

[And she spends so much time with Sisu, that sometimes she's even surprised that the dragon isn't anywhere nearby in either of her forms and so she is talking to herself or anyone else, who happens to be there. But she also remembers this rain from last year, so at least she'll stop "blaming" Sisu for it pretty soon. And while rain in general is nice, especially when she thinks back to everything back home, she isn't so sure whether or not she likes this rain at all. She really isn't the type to let people that close to her, physically or emotionally, though she really should work on that.

Mostly Raya is on the beach in Solarpeak, writing and drawing things on big chalkboards with colorful chalks or painting something, that looks like it might eventually become a sign for some business.

And sometimes, but not always, she has a huge rainbow colored umbrella with her though it keeps flying away from her sometimes without her even noticing it at all before it starts raining all over her.]


Seriously? Again?!

[Luckily she has her summer powers, so whenever that umbrella hasn't gone too far, she can just fly it right back to her.

But she is NOT doing that same telekinesis thing with Tuk Tuk, who will absolutely wander or roll to anyone, who happens have food with them without Raya even noticing that her other best friend is doing the puppy eye thing at whoever he's meeting there this time... He's harmless. He just happens to be an always hungry a third-pill bug, third-armadillo and third-pug hybrid.]


✨ WILDCARD

[If you are not Sisu, you will only get hugs etc platonic things in the rain and I'm up for other things from this tdm too and also for rain things happening anywhere else than in Solarpeak too either here or in this catch-all. I can be found at [plurk.com profile] baranohanabira for plotting, chatting, whatever or ping me at Seasons discord etc. Also here's Tuk Tuk's wiki page for info about him!]

[ Eren, soaked by the rain and feeling too many things at once, really should remember to bring a fucking umbrella. But he rarely does, and the rain isn't consistent. At least this time he doesn't feel so messed up about it. He mostly just feels like he wants to touch someone.

Or, ok, kiss them. Annoying as that is, he recognises this impulse. It had gotten him into a mess last year, though he doesn't regret it now in the slightest.

This guy he just met here under the overhang is staring at him and Eren finds himself staring back.

Mm. Bronya Rand, current Supreme Guardian of Belobog, or what the Express crew would have known as Jarilo-VI.

[Bronya will make an assumption that Stelle would have told her about what happened. There’s no way this soft-spoken girl would ever be anything else.

There’s something in Bronya’s expression that’s worried for a moment, but it fades just as quickly as it appeared.]


She really does. She’s kind of amazing like that.

[Jing Yuan knew who Dan Heng was referring to, of course. He'd seen it in the young vidyadhara's eyes more than a few times, and often he wishes he knew what would alleviate his anxieties. It wasn't that easy. Dan Feng— he had a complicated history.

Still, the general can't help but feel the want to help guide him, and he reaches to wipe Dan Heng's wet hair back from his face for him. The dragon people might like the water, but he can't have him looking like a drowned orphan.]


Your young life has already faced many trials due to the legacy that Dan Feng left for you.

[What Dan Heng endured wasn't something he should have had to bear, but the past isn't something that can be changed. Jing Yuan pats his shoulder gently, then tucks his other arm behind his back as he looks out at the rain.]

It's understandable to feel conflicted.

And that is my issue: I didn't feel conflicted like this before. [He glances up to meet those warm gold eyes, his own blinking shut for a moment when Jing Yuan brushes his hair back. When they open, there's something almost tired there. It has been months. He should not feel so...]

What I was taught by the Ten-Lords Commission as a child was that Dan Feng was a cold, selfish man, arrogant and prideful, a sinner who did not care for the lives of others caught in the crossfire. Deserving of punishment enough to transcend lifetimes. I knew it to be biased. But it made it so much easier to hate him, to blame him for everything.

[He knew it was biased information from the start, near propaganda. He knew it was a way to stifle any rebellious behavior before it could bud in a newly reborn soul. But being able to blame Dan Feng for his suffering made it easier to bear, easier to accept.]

[That she's appeared—materialized from thin, wet air without his having his chance to blink—leaves him doubting his eyes entirely. Of course, he's used to ghosts; but this one's far from being the misty, vaguely-foggy strange translucent type. It takes a bit, but finally he stifles his shock to offer startled, half-words back. He's plainly embarrassed to be surprised; ear tips burning before he stammers.]

I- um... [starting out strong...] It's not- that big a deal.

[He sinks his knee, forgetting mayo to offer a hand and half of a cat-themed umbrella-]

You're the first ghost I've seen in the rain, though. [Tall like Midnight. Cool like Hawks. He blinks, amazed.]

It is highly unlikely to go well. Magic generally seems reactive to emotion, and seasonal magic is definitely in that vein, and it's not as if minerals appreciate that fake nicety thing people insist on doing.

[There is a pause as he says that, stopping his shifting of gems, glancing at Kabru. Something about his face had been bugging Donnie, but he hadn't been able to say why.]

[That sentiment, however, reminded him of the one other person he knew who wholly agreed with Donnie that it was frustrating as hell to deal with.]

[The focus on Laios' memory had been Shuro, of course. That would explain why it was hard to recall why his face seemed familiar. It has been months since he'd seen it after all.]

It may not go as terribly as long as the feelings aren't actually negative, but I doubt it will be worth all the effort for fake feelings.
