pathemaooc | Test Drive #2

ARRIVAL: Your character wakes up in a temple completely naked except for the collar around their neck. Near the spot they wake up is a pile of clothing that is NOT what your character was wearing before they woke up. When they unfold the clothing they will find it's a toga and that there's a pair of sandals under it. Too bad, that's all there is. The sound of bells soon fills the temple, drowning out the noise of chatter and panic, drawing your attention to the statue in the center of the temple before a loud, booming voice fills your head:

Welcome, Honored Guests. I trust you’ve found everything easily enough. You may consider your Toga a token of my generosity and I trust the footwear will be more than sufficient;

Now I’m certain that you all have many questions, so perhaps you’ll permit me to explain.

I, Eros, Son of Ares and Aphrodite, God of Love and Sexual Desire, have brought you to Pathema for a very simple purpose. I offer you sanctuary from the trials and tribulations of your all too dreary existences and in return, I ask only one thing of you.

Your devotion.

I have seen how reluctant you creatures can be when it comes to matters of the flesh, and so I have ensured that all of you shall have the proper encouragement.

Surely you must be aware by now that each of you have been fitted with a collar. I wouldn’t try and remove them if I were you. Your petty magics, or force, will do little more than cause them to tighten I’m afraid.

Over a period of fourteen days, your collars will tighten. I’m told it’s a terribly uncomfortable experience and I wouldn’t suggest you push your limits but you mortals are rather a stubborn lot. Still, never let it be said that I didn’t try to warn you.

Now if at the end of those fourteen days, you have still refused to show your devotion to your God? You will simply cease to exist.

Oh, come now. I am not a cruel and capricious God. You’ll be permitted to return to your previous state of existence, for the mere price of something that you hold dear. A memory of those trivial times from before you were brought to your new home

Ah, yes. I do believe I have your attention now, don’t I?

But of course, how can you, mere peasants, show your God how much you adore him? I should think the answer is very simple, don’t you? I am the God of Sexual Desire after all.

SPRING FESTIVAL: Flowers are in bloom, birds are singing their love songs, and the residents of Pathéma are celebrating the arrival of Spring! Stalls of flowers can be found in the market place, fresh pressed juices and berries are sold and everyone feels more friendly than usual.

At night, bondfires are lit on the beach, and tables of food from your world are displayed alongside food from foreign places. Music is played all night long, and dancers pull strangers to join them, while the fire breathers put on a show for all to see. At midnight, fireworks light up the night skies before the party rages on until the sun comes up.

Blankets are available all over the beach, some giving more privacy than others...

NETWORK: Everyone is provided with a communication device that gives them access to an island-wide network. These can be used for so many things! Send pictures of the drunk guy at the bar, your boobs or whatever you want!!

WILDCARD: There are forests, mountains, marketplaces, all sorts of places to go and explore on the island. Ideas for settings can be found on the locations pages!

"Yeah, sometimes there's...this shit, these curses. Makes you do crazy things. One of them made me think I was in love with a woman I had never met before," Jax explains. "You're not in your own head, you're just doing shit on a whim. It's fucked up. But I'm not going to let anything happen to you, Lyla. I will kill someone before something happens to you. You've seen it, you know it."

Jax isn't afraid to have more blood on his hands. Part of being a SAMCRO is being willing to do what's necessary and when it comes to keeping Lyla safe? He'll do what needs to be done.

"Curses? Jax, that sounds like some shit out of a messed up fairy tale." Curses that made you think you were in love with other people?! What kind of fucked up shit was that even?? She liked it better when she thought she was making this all up.

Lyla stepped little closer to him and her gaze darted around, almost like she was waiting for someone to jump out and who the fuck knew, proclaimed their love or something. "I know," she said softly and looked back to him. "I appreciate that, but you have to watch over yourself too if what everything everyone is saying is true."

"It's fucked up shit," Jax agrees. "And it does sound like some kind of shit out of a make-believe story but I'm telling you, it's real. I wouldn't lie to you about that."

Jax has no issues with lying if he needs to. Sometimes he lies to protect the ones he loves and sometimes he lies in order to achieve his own ends. Lyla had been Opie's old lady and she's not someone he's going to lie to just for the hell of it. If he does, it's for good reason, and he's got no good reason to keep information from her here.

"So I'm watching out for you. You watch out for me too, all right?"
