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!

Arrival

Alex is used to things that others might call strange. It's just a fact of life when you're a mutant. None of it has been as strange as this though. Just how did he get here from that beach in Cuba? This has to be some kind of a joke.

But who could put together a joke like this? Hank is smart enough, for sure, but Alex doesn't think even he would come up with this. This isn't his sort of humor. (Alex isn't sure Hank even has a sense of humor, but that's neither here nor there right now.)

He's not particularly modest, so while he pulls on the sandals to protect his feet, he doesn't bother to do anything more than stand up and hold the bunched-up fabric in front of him. Someone here has to have some answers, and what the professor would do is go looking for them first thing...

Wait. Wait did that statue just say...?

"Sean?" Is Sean here somewhere? He might do this, if he could figure out how. "Is this supposed to be funny?"

Spring festival

This is...a little better, anyway. At least now he's dressed, and the food is like what he remembers from home. There's some that isn't, too, but what he's most interested in trying is the variety of different alcohols. (It's not something he got to do back home. He's going to take full advantage of the chance while he has it.)

Plus the bonfire's pretty cool.

At some point towards midnight he's taking a break from the dancing, sitting on the beach, some kind of fruity drink in his hand. He's nowhere near ready to be done yet. He's just sitting for a few minutes.

"So what do you think, weirdest communal dream ever?"
