TDM #2
TDM #2
Welcome to Beautiful Dreamer's test drive meme! If you're unfamiliar with the game, then you can check out the navigation to get yourself up to speed on all the relevant info pages then check out the most recent AU Planning meme to see what juicy ideas your fellow players are cooking up!
As the prompts in the TDM are based on events from the prior in-game month, the overall TDM is not canon to Beautiful Dreamer though players are free to treat individual CR/threads on this post as canon to their characters if both players are happy to do so.
Dreamers on the TDM will have access to all of their starter powers as outlined on the powers page as well as two unique abiliites to play around with as you please.
Some prompts and location details have been provided below for you to play around with but please feel free to go hog wild and have fun!
YUMEMIGAOKA
May comes rolling in full of blustery winds and heavy rain, blowing away the sleepy spring atmosphere with aplomb! While the second half of the month perks up a little and there's more sunshine to be seen, the first half of May is decidedly dreary and wet. Hopefully nobody's plans fall through on account of all this miserable weather...
- ⧖ It's Golden Week! The city is buzzing with excitement as the holiday brings in crowds of tourists and locals alike, all aiming to take advantage of sales and promotions or just enjoy some hard-earned time off. Of course, this unfortunately means the city is a little more jam-packed than usual and maybe it causes just a few traffic and transport delays... but it's better than being stuck in work, right? Why not go out and see what all the fuss is about?
⧖ Yikes, watch that forecast! A massive thunderstorm blows in just over Kihada, plastering the streets with rain and causing a blackout that lasts a good few hours. Some people might be upset, but there's nothing quite like a good storm to make things more fun and exciting... so long as you're viewing them from a distance, anyway. You WERE wise enough to find safe shelter as soon as it started bucketing down, right?
⧖ Moon Bunny Market are organising a stamp rally all around the neighborhood, with prizes on the line if you manage to collect them all. Just find the right stalls and speak to the right people and you could win a tasty prize!
Of course, even with the city being in such a jovial mood that doesn't mean things are all fine and dandy. With midterms and exam results on the horizon and the high-strung anxiety and stress of muddling your way through a major holiday it just makes sense that some of that might seep through to the other side...
THE DREAM SPHERE
The Dream Sphere might be a very different kind of place to Yumemigaoka but that doesn't mean it's any less busy. The weather is miserable over on this side, too – the usually pretty skies have turned bruise purple with low, heavy clouds that are swollen with rain. Thankfully, it seems like more of the places around the Dream Sphere are getting away with just a few light showers but things are still pretty cold and miserable over here. Good thing you've got work to distract you, at least!
As usual, the emotions stirring over in the Waking World have begun funnelling into the Dream Sphere and causing all manner of problems here and there. Torments and Nightmares won't hunt themselves so be sure to properly scout out all the available locations of the Dream Sphere you can access just in case - maybe you'll find a new teammate to work with while you're out there!
In particular, it looks like trouble can be found...
- ⧖ At Fury Peak, things are hotter than hot! There's no rain here but the volcano is steadily leaking a heavy black smog which has turned navigating the place into a real task, even for a fully prepared Dreamer. To make matters worse, a group of particularly aggressive Torments made out of volcano glass and black rock are gathering and ganging up on any Dreamer they see. Torments at Fury Peak are even more foul tempered than usual and they're hitting especially hard today so you better act fast and deal with them ASAP!
⧖ In the Reverie Necropolis, the sky is hidden behind black clouds that hang low and a horrible cold wild blows all through the inside and outside of the place. Once you actually enter the labyrinth, frantic whispers can be heard and the scratching of nails against brick can be heard running up and down the corridor. The vibes are absolutely rancid, is what I'm saying – made even worse by the fact that when you stumble into one of the open caverns, you come across a Nightmare just about to manifest?! Better hope you're not alone, because you'll need some good strong teamwork to keep things from escalating any further!
Thunder Struck
[ Jeannette has to yell to be heard over the howling wind, tucking her curls out of her face as best she can even as the rain slicks her bangs between her eyes. Calling out to the girl regardless, she brandishes the umbrella she's valiantly holding as a shield against the storm. ]
Do you - need to go....somewhere....?
no subject
[ Foreigners are pretty common, but even so, such pretty blond hair is on another level - even while drenched. ]
...no, probably not.
no subject
well, that, Jeannette supposes, is for the girl to know. What matters is that she is here, and it is dreadful outside, and Jeannette does not wish anyone (else) to be drenched.
She struggles over, offering the girl her umbrella. ]
Please - take this....
no subject
[ It looked like she'd confused this lady with her newfound activity of 'stand around staring at nothing while it rains' so she took a stab in the dark. ]
...I do live here, you know.
[ Despite how improbable it seems for anyone to live here. ]
no subject
Then you must bundle up against the wind! Do you not have more you can do to protect yourself? You will catch cold.
no subject
[ If I die I die. ]
Do you wanna come in though?
no subject
Her second thought is drowned out by a clap of thunder directly overhead, and a gust of wind that has her scrambling to keep hold of her umbrella, which she closes lest it attempt another escape. ]
...You don't mind?
no subject
[ And this girl seems like a pure-hearted type. ]
no subject
Thank you very much.
no subject
[ And when the power's back on she might just kick her out. Maybe. ]
I'm Kozakura.
no subject
Jeanne d'Arc. It is good to meet you, Kozakura-san.
no subject
[ She looks Jeannette over, scrutinizing her much more. ]
Tell me you aren't from that family...
[ Not that it matters much to her individually. ]
no subject
[ she can't imagine why! they're perfectly normal people!
and good christians!!!!!!!!!!! ]
no subject
[ And Kozakura does notice other Dreamers even if they don't get a chance to notice her. ]
no subject
[ Probably.
In any case, Jeannette doesn't consider herself interesting in the slightest, so she'd rather learn more about her impromptu hostess. ]
Do you often watch the rain, Kozakura-san?
