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 Welcoming Committee 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.

Third type of the stands is for The In Touch Support Group that is led by the Otherwordly Ambassador, Kamisato Ayato. The pamphlets have contact information for businesses looking to help Otherworlders. They also focus more on the lore of the World and what they have discovered so far, as well as a guide on what to think about when preparing to venture out to the Segments.

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?





Party in the Underground




Part 1


The center of Nightwake never sleeps and there's always something happening, but today there's a lot of excitement in the air all around the center and every district! Locals and those who want to help them (for 100 Moon Coins or a gift card of their choosing), are walking to everyone to offer colorful fliers along with free vending machine tokens. There's also colorful advertisement on billboards and posters everywhere around the city advertising all sorts of things like items, clothes, drinks and more.

Local businesses, stores and restaurants are also going pretty crazy with their celebrations of anyone walking in being their 50th, 100th or whatever customer of the day and the prize among other things are gift cards and more free vending machine tokens but they aren't even for that same shop or restaurant? They also offer people to spin all kinds of different prize wheels, spin roulettes, buying a certain amount of things from them, and taking part in eating and drinking competitions for a surprise prize. Someone even put these surprise prizes into the Gacha Restaurant's randomizer, so for a week, you can choose it as a total surprise there too. (The surprises can be even more vending machine tokens and silly things like cute keychains or a 5-in-1 avocado tool as some examples.)

You can't find any of these shops, restaurants and other places, that they are advertising, in the whole city. The locals, posters and billboards will tell you where you can find them. There's a new entrance in every district, where locals welcome everyone to the grand opening of the Underground Mall!

Some may even drop into a sudden hole in the ground on their way and fall (or slide) somewhere far away. Don't worry, there will be very soft and huge pillows for landing in your destination.


Part 2


The Underground Mall's upper floors give the vibe of a joyous mall with several restaurants and shops you won't see on the surface. The mall is definitely a must visit place for those who appreciate different fashion and exciting food choices. The party from the surface continues down here with various sales around the area. A good day for shopping!

For those who like games, there's a futuristic VR Arcade for you! This Arcade focuses on games that are played with VR goggles on. Even your regular DDR machine will now take you to dance in different environments and feel like you're dancing for your life or for an actual audience.

There are all sorts of vending machines lined up in their own, huge corner. You can find the usual ones with all sorts of different snacks, food and drinks, but there are also some with cake, cookies, mayonnaise, cream, flowers, engagement rings and other less usual but normal things. Nothing here is randomized, unless you choose the random option from the machine, otherwise you get exactly what you want. So pick your favorites or try something new, that sounds more or less good! You can find a machine that turns moon coins on your phone into vending machine tokens (or you can pay straight with your phone).

And, yes, you can find vending machines full of snacks and drinks all around the area too.

Then there's also an area for ufo catchers with all kinds of prizes like pokemon plushies and lots of other plushies, items themed to different season, plushies and other items themed to any fauna and flora from all around Ellipsa, puzzles, food themed items etc etc.

Moving inside the mall is done by escalators and elevators, but there are also regular stairs for those who prefer them.

The fastest way of traveling from floor to floor in the mall is by quick teleport nodes. You choose a floor you want to go to from the list of choices, much like an elevator and then you're transported into that floor's node within seconds. Unfortunately, they're still working out on the bugs in the system, so you may end up in the wrong place - including places that aren't on the list of choices.

Part 3


There's also a Poké Ball Vending Machine, so anyone who recognizes poké balls may have some idea what they could get here. The vending machine somehow has enough balls for everyone in Ellipsa but everyone can only buy one ball! The balls don't have names in them and no one can see through them, so even those, who know Pokémon will NOT know what they'll be getting from this vending machine as it is entirely randomized!

Are you ready to get your first Pokémon? What about being ready to see how you two get along? Everyone, who plays this vending machine, gets either a Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle, Pikachu, Eevee, Chikorita, Cyndaquil, Totodile, Treecko, Torchic, Mudkip, Turtwig, Chimchar, Piplup, Snivy, Tepig, Oshawott, Chespin, Fennekin, Froakie, Rowlet, Litten, Poplio, Grookey, Scorbunny, Sobble, Spirigatito, Fuecoco or Quaxly.

(And yes, ICly it is entirely randomized but OOCly you can decide which one you want your character to get... Of course you can rng the result too. More about Pokémon guidelines in the OOC Tips of this TDM.)






Welcome to Our Dark Side




The third part of the TDM is under this details cut as it has Content Warnings, including Cursed things, Organized Crime, Illegal Activities, Monster Forms/Body Horror, Attempted Murder, Experimenting on People

The Third Part of the TDM [ Click to Expand ]
Part 1

The lowest levels of the mall are only accessible by random quick teleport nodes around the mall (if you know you know is the motto with these). You can run into them on accident (they're usually hidden, but with so much traffic, the hiding place becomes visible) and they sometimes immediately just teleport people without any warning. The arrival can be in various places. A random shady hallway, in the middle of the floor, in a shady establishment and so on.

Anything that seems shady can be found from these floors. Even the local diners here are very weird and likely have illegal things on the menu. Clothing stores sell all kinds of clothes fit for thieves and assassins and the amount of weapons shops here is twice the amount than on the surface. Rumor has it there are also people trying to summon the devil somewhere around here, but that's still just a rumor.

One of the teleport node locations can take you to the front of a cursed vending machine corner. At first they look like ordinary vending machines, but upon closer inspection one may notice they are anything but ordinary.

The food vending machines are full of different "eatable" bugs with half-hearted warnings that they may or may not be poisonous (they didn't really check before putting them in the packaging), Mystery Food boxes (includes some very suspicious foods that don't look edible, but are actually alright in taste? But may contain some side effects like growing mushrooms out of your hair if you eat the mushroom ones), ones that is labeled Energy Drinks but all of them look more like creepy potions (they provide energy but at the cost of poisoning someone for 24 hours) and hyper realistic cakes that look like various body parts (the cake part is intentionally written in small print).

Other vending machines have various shark eggs (hatching them will provide a magical shark with little hands and legs that invades the first watery surface it finds and bites whoever comes too close - it does not belong as a pet, but one may try to tame one), Mystery Boxes (with anything from highly cursed jewelry to books that suck your soul if written into) and Cheat Slips (it's said these slips will let you master a skill immediately, but all it does is cause one's powers to go berserk for 2 hours).




Part 2


The lowest levels are also a place for a large Casino. While they do exist on the surface, this one is a little different.

The Casino (named just that, "The Casino") is divided into four different sections; All of them are dominated by an organized crime group. This is the only area of the underground they work together in peace and sometimes come to relax. They don't cause trouble for each other here, but they definitely can try to cause trouble for everyone who is visiting the place.

Losing in this Casino can mean being taken to the back rooms by whichever group's area you ended up losing in. They will offer to let you go if you can pay off your debt you made in the Casino, but they have other options of compensation.

Name: Diamonds
Game Area: Card Games (Poker, Black Jack, Craps)
Compensation: They will send characters on a criminal quest to either steal or sabotage something or even smuggle a (cursed) item into important places.

Name: Spades
Game Area: Roulette
Compensation: They will attempt to kill the character that lost in the quietness of the backrooms.

Name: Clubs
Game Area: Pool, Darts
Compensation: They will just make characters clean their casino area.

Name: Hearts
Game Area: Slot Games
Compensation: They will drag characters into experiments in a different facility.

You may also end up taken to the back rooms for getting caught cheating, although it may also end up in a congratulatory meeting for an impressive sleight of hand instead or an invitation to join one of the groups. How would you feel about a life of crime?




Part 3


Those caught in Hearts Group's Experiments will be subjected to series of tests. Mostly they're to check the characters' physical condition before proceeding. Once the tests are concluded, the character will be given a medicine (either via shot or a pill). This medicine will not show any signs of working for a while and characters are let go afterwards.

The same medicine can, however, later be consumed by anyone else in various foods and drinks (free samples, some restaurants, even some grocery store items), even in the higher levels of the Mall. The experiments were the final test before distributing the medicine secretly to the public. So your character may accidentally end up getting the medicine in other ways.

What are the medicine? Monster Form activators. They will awaken a monster form inside a character that will trigger under one of the (player) selected conditions: strong emotional reaction, full moon, near death situation or bleeding.

The form can be returned from by calming down and focusing on their sense of self, but there's a chance to go berserk, making this difficult. If characters go berserk, their powers will be a lot stronger, but they won't know who's a friend and who's a foe. Their form may also be a lot scarier than it normally is. They will likely only want to cause destruction around them or want to feed on humans.

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 (or "New" or anything else) 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.

- Remember to add Content Warnings wherever needed!

- 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!

- Pokémon Guidelines:
• Anything mindblowing crazy that the pokedex has to offer for any of the evolutions doesn't carry over to Seasons. They're closer to anime variants where people can get flamethrower at their face and live (we still do not recommend getting a flamethrower at face)
• Pokémon gain experience points much slower, even if they battle one another.
• You may be able to find a vending machine with weird stones mixed in for stone evolutions. Strange.
• All start at level 5.
• More Pokémon may appear later in the game but for now it's just the ones mentioned.
More on all the available Pokémon here!

- Check Locations: City to find more areas to explore inside the city. Every place in the districts are open. The Underground Mall has been added to the locations page at the very end of it.

- Similarly, Locations: Segments is useful for outdoors adventures. You can find monsters to encounter on Beastiary.

- Minor NPCs page has been updated with the criminal organizations.

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

- Feel free to check and use out Questboard for additional prompts.

I hope he will. And everyone else, too. That place... it wasn't very safe. So I worry about them all a lot.

[ She does her best to smile, though. ] And I have the recordings I made there. I only got the device not long before I was pulled here, but there's a few.

MK closed the fridge door and looked at the tea cup. He picked it up and moved to the sink. Instead of making more tea, he just started to wash his cup. MK isn't sure what the scanner will find. Not sure what the pill he took did or will do. Somehow a mystery pill is less scary than other things.

The cup is washed and put on the drying rack. the noodle boy put his hands on the sink and let his head fall forward. Why was it almost easy to talk to Red Son? Maybe it was because the friendship was new. Or that Red Son just knew a lot and was smart. Whatever the case, it just all came out. MK couldn't pull back the words or what he said. His mind drifted to Azure as he watched his enemy, his once friend, Monkey Kong's once brother just fall apart.

Because of him.

MK wants to leave the world a better place than he found it but what if his destiny was to make things worse? What if he made this place worse? Could this place handle him going into his monkey form? Handle the power he could unleash? He couldn't control it like Monkey King could. What would Red Son think if he saw him like that? Would they even still be friends?

The echoes of words and memories makes golden energy spike over his body. Oh no. Calm down. Don't let it out. MK groans as he desperately tries to take deep breathes. Like Red Son said. Like Monkey King taught him. Take in a deep breath. Let it out. Focus. Calm. Calm down, MK.

"Calm. Just breathe and be calm..." MK mumbled to himself.
noodleboi: (Default)

Then you got those and you'll know you always cared about them. And they cared about you. And that will never go away.

[personal profile] forgingfires 2023-08-10 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
Red Son walks into the room-

And stops, staring at MK. At the flickering golden energy. He didn't have golden eyes like Wukong or MK, but he had a better awareness than most. It had been that awareness that drew his eyes to things of importance. It was how he had been able to achieve the Samadhi Fire by near instinct.

There was power there. There was a lot of power there, different from when he was invincible.

He sets down the box, moving over to MK. He had never been afraid to approach power before and he was hardly going to start now.

He puts a hand on his back. "Noodle Boy, do you need help?"
sangreine: sad (i understand)

[personal profile] sangreine 2023-08-10 04:22 am (UTC)(link)
[ There's a heavy pause. She can tell he's trying to be comforting, and for most people it would be. But with her, it will go away. Her feelings for them, her memories, all of it. Watching videos is better than nothing, but it's like watching someone else's life. That someone just happens to be herself, yet it's not anywhere close to the same thing as remembering. ]

[ She plasters a smile on her face. She sucks at lying so it's evident that what he said didn't land quite right. She's not ready to get into the horrors of her life cycle yet, though, so she tries to breeze past it. ]


Mm, you're right.

This place is wonderful for making memories. If you like adventures, there's a lot of quests you can do to earn money. They'll take you all over the place.

MK almost jumped when he felt the hand on his back. The sparks surged as his form changed slightly and just for a moment. He turned around and forced down the worry. It was okay. He needed to calm down. No danger here. None at all.

"Hey! I'm fine. Yeah. Just need to sit down, I think." MK quickly moved over and sat down at the table again. He took deep and slow breathes.

"I'm alright. Don't worry about me. So. Scanning time?"
noodleboi: (Art Human - Such a good boi)

[personal profile] noodleboi 2023-08-10 02:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[Some part of MK is sure he didn't say the right thing. That maybe he's missing something. But he doesn't want to bring this down. Not again. He smiles and nods.]

Yeah. You're right. I'm gonna go on quests and get money then draw pictures of it so people can read it in my Biography book. And you can read it too.
forgingfires: (Yeah sure if you say so)

[personal profile] forgingfires 2023-08-10 02:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Red Son's eyes narrowed at that. In truth, he could brush it off. If the Noodle Boy didn't want to talk about it, who was he to press?

But.

Wasn't that part of friendship? To care and not brush it off?

Though he wonders if that would spook MK?

He moves over to the box, pulling out a device. "I will not force you to talk," he decided. "However, I would appreciate it if you did not insult my intelligence by implying I would fall for such obvious lies. You were the one who insisted on friendship, and since I have found myself begrudgingly accepting this is my life now, realize I do accept the responsibilities of such."

He smacks two nodes to his temples. "I will listen if you have a problem. Provide a solution if it's a problem that needs one. Or simply let you get it out of that noodle brain of yours."

I'd love to read it and see your artwork. You'll have a lot of things to add, being here. There are new quests every two months, between that and delivery work you'll have plenty of cash to get whatever you need.

You can even buy things from home. I've used it several times, you basically pay to get an item that you wish on, and invisible fairies bring it to your room. Pretty cool.

My own mentee is a winter power holder and guild member! His name is Shoto Todoroki. I know some other capable and helpful people who are winter-aligned - my friend Rider, my quest partner Thoma, and Mr. Clavell who's a pokémon researcher -, but I don't know if they joined the guild. I can get you in contact with any of them too, though! I reckon Mr. Clavell is the most research-aligned; the others are all adventurers like me.

[And then there's Levi... but Hijikata wouldn't feel comfortable recommending that sour little man to anyone, least of all a mannerly lady like Faruzan!]

That is certainly a lot of people but I think I'll let you decide. You know more about them than I do so which one do you think might help me the most?

[Otherwise, she really has no idea who to really turn to.]

Sheng Hong will learn it won't work for her either.

Well I did say most people, and if she needs to ask for permission to jump on people then it mostly matters if it works on them.

Quiiiiil.

[Someone seems to think so. But this Cydnaquil really likes the initiative.]

Anyway, how long have you been here?
corpsewarblade: (Battle ready)

Taking bets on whether she'll forget to actually introduce herself after this

[personal profile] corpsewarblade 2023-08-10 10:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[Mukuro- after instinctively checking the weapon and reminding herself that it was just a controller- placed it back on the rack and went to join him. Introductions, right, she should do that-... huh?

Wait a second, that was a name she'd heard before. And come to think of it, his appearance matched the description she'd heard too. Don't mind her eyes going a little wide.]


H-huh...wait, you're Reiner?

[...One of the Titan Shifters. Someone who betrayed her brother-figure, Jean, back on their home world. For a moment, Mukuro didn't know what to do with that, and she grew quiet, brow furrowing.

Truth be told, she had no desire to take revenge for Jean's sake or anything like that- what good would it do? And besides, she was already someone living her 'second chance' in the other worlds. She wasn't in any place to criticise him for what fragmented intel she had on his own actions.

But if Mukuro was anything, she was a fiercely loyal ally to those she kept close. Her priority was making sure Jean wouldn't get hurt.]


...

...Jean mentioned you, before. What happened in your world has nothing to do with me, but don't hurt him here.

A stray breeze could wreck that though.

[He shrugs.] Keep the door locked when you're out then. I don't control what monkeys do.

You're Spring? That's a surprise.
