Test Drive #2

[pathemamods]

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!

Wanda Maximoff - MCU

[scepterschild]

NETWORK

[Wanda sighs heavily, dragging her hand over her face before she turns on the odd device. This isn't where she'd thought she'd be though it is significantly better than the prison cell she had been in.]

Hello. [Her accent is thick, rolling pleasantly over each word.] Is there anyone here familiar with the Avengers?

And I need clothes. Not these. [She pinches the white toga that's draped over her shoulder to make it clear what she was talking about.]

[makingmeblush]

[Jean flashes the woman a smile. She knows that it's like to show up and have to wear the togas offered - not all that great.]

If you find the house you've been given, you'll find a closet with your own clothing inside it.

[She hesitates a moment before continuing on.]

Your accent, it's from Eastern Europe, right?

[scepterschild]

[Wanda curls in her lips as she nods. Great. It is one thing that she'll look forward too.]

Thanks.

[The question doesn't bother Wanda, nor is it a particularly unusual one given where she's from.]

Yes. Near Russia. [Her home is to small for most to know about it.]

[jolting]

[his eyebrows go up. He knows this face and voice. Maybe not as well as the other Wanda, but still]

I'm familiar with the Avengers. Captain Rogers and Miss Romanof are here. I'm sure they'll contact you soon.

And you should have your own clothes around somewhere.

[scepterschild]

[Wanda is already moving away from where she'd woke up. She finds her way slowly but steadily. Her current end goal is to find a jeans and a tank top. Then she'll find the other Avengers.

Her tongue drags over her lower lip at the strangers reply.]

Thank you.

I've been told they're in my home. [She word home rolls of her tongue with a bit of distaste.]

[jolting]

Yeah, I know. The houses are pretty crappy. But there was recently a raffle where people won houses, so maybe you can get something better.

[scepterschild]

[Wanda's eyebrow rose in a delicate arc.]

A raffle? Do the gods leave many things up to chance?

[There is venom in her tone when she spoke about the gods. She has no interest in being a test subject again. Though this is a very pretty cage.]

[jolting]

Well, I guess they're leaving it to chance that we'll actually comply and have sex. But the odds are we'll want to not choke to death, so it's not really a huge gamble.

[scepterschild]

[Wanda had to resist the urge to mope about the situation. It wasn't that she disliked sex but she disliked people telling her what to do.]

I'm not interested in choking to death.

[jolting]

You'll be okay. Sex isn't really that big of a deal. [a beat] I'm Victor, by the way. Or you can call me Doctor Whale. I work at the hospital here on the island.

[scepterschild]

Victor.

[She repeats his name, her accident rolling it pleasantly from her lips.]

I'm Wanda.

[jolting]

I know. Like I said, I'm familiar with the Avengers. Still, it's a pleasure to meet you.

network

[willingtopaytheprice]

[OOC: he's not going to know her since it's 2014 for him still, but he'll be updated to AoU when I get his canon update written ]

[Avengers. Was there an influx? He didn't know her by sight, but she was asking about the Avengers. Surely? ]

Depends on who's asking.

[ oh hi it's Steve. ]

network

[scepterschild]

[It's instantly apparent that Steve has no idea who Wanda is. Her conversation with Dr. Whales rings in her ear like a soft reminder; different times and places. A surprising pain rises in Wanda's chest but she ignores it.

Her tongue drags over her lips before she finally replies.]

Wanda Maximoff. You brought me into the Avengers.

[Her accent pleasantly rolls her words as she continues.]

You don't remember?

[isdreamy]

Ah! Who is not familiar with the Avengers, is the question you should be asking!

[Thor grins widely at Wanda, a teasing light in his eyes. His ego is nothing compared to the Man of Iron, but he still appreciates the attention.]

At least yours was meant to fit you. [He says as he looks pointedly at her toga. His was barely covering what was considered decent to be covered.

His smile softens lightly:]

It is good to see you. [Even if she does not deserve to be here. He knows nothing of the Captain's and Stark's feud yet, but Wanda has been through enough as it is. She should be at the compound, training with the other recruits, not on an island that asks so much of them to survive.]

Have you found your house yet?

[scepterschild]

[Wanda feels her lips twitch into a smile. She isn't particularly close to Thor but that happens when one of you lives on another world. Either way, he's someone she trusts and she's happy to see that he recognizes her.]

Yes but I think you wear it better.

[Her tone is a little lighter though the tension is still there, weighing on her as she's thrust into a new unknown world and situation. She only need to remember who she is. She's Wanda Maximoff. An Avenger. There isn't anything she can't handle.] It's good to see you too.

I'm looking. [At this point she's almost arrived at her give house.] I was told that there is clothing there.

[She squints at him, asking the unanswered question to his attire.]

video

[toopolite]

[It is an inquisitive look that she gets from Sif.]

Familiar, in that I have heard of them. The Lady Sif of Asgard, and it is Thor Odinson who has spoken of them.

video

[scepterschild]

[Wanda pushes her dark hair back from her face.]

He would. [The only person that she knew from Thor's world is been Loki and that is probably a bad representation of Asgard.] Nice to meet you. I'm Wanda Maximoff, one of the Avengers.

video

[toopolite]

A pleasure to meet you, although I fear I am not familiar. Then again, time here is not as linear as one might expect. Thor has just left to return to Midgard from my own point of view, but more does he know.

video

[scepterschild]

It's fine. [It isn't that important right now.] How long have you been here?

[Her accent rolls pleasantly over her words when she spoke.]

video

[toopolite]

[A slight pursing of her lips, as far longer than she would have thought.]

Two and a half months, give or take.

video

[scepterschild]

So long?

[She asked feeling a little unsure.]

No way out? Like the bridge Thor takes to earth?

video

[toopolite]

Aye.

[Matter of factly.]

But there is no bridge, no, yet people do leave. The Son of Coul was here for a time, but he has since departed.

video

[scepterschild]

How did we get here if there is no bridge?

video

[toopolite]

Of that, we have no answer, although those still seek.
