Test Drive #3
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:
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. |
SUMMER SOLSTICE: 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...
MONSOON SEASON: It's raining season on the island, but like anything else here, this is no regular rain...
One moment the sky is blue and the sun warm, and one second later, dark grey clouds spill their content on the island residents. Sometimes it comes down as a light mist, and other times in such a manner that anyone running underneath is from head to toe in seconds. Sometimes, thunder rages on, and hail comes down from the sky instead of rain.
Spaces to hide oneself are sparse, and you may have to share your protected corner with someone else...
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!
**TDM threads can be used as your sample in your application! It can also be considered in game canon if it is agreed on by all characters involved in said threads.

Her mouth opens, and her eyebrows furrow and she looks around, trying to figure out if Eros was playing a joke on her. But, no. That... He wasn't even that cruel.
She steps off the main path and fumbles to hit the reply button.]
Antiope. Where are you? How long have you been here?
no subject
Diana? It is good to see you. I have been here . . . perhaps for a day, and I am in the park in the second district. I have been trying to find the training grounds.
[And the blacksmith so that she can get new weapons, and the tanner for more armor. No luck yet.]
no subject
It doesn't even dawn on her that her skirt, blouse and heels aren't anything that her aunt had ever seen her in.]
I... I'll be there shortly. This place, it doesn't have training grounds. But, I shall explain once I get to you.
no subject
[Antiope remembers dying in Diana's arms. There had been a piercing pain, like being speared with only the point of an arrow, and her lifeblood had been sapped from her as she lay there. And then she had been healed, and woken in Eros' temple. ]
no subject
[It really doesn't take her long to get to the park, mainly because she'd been almost jogging to get there in a hurry But once she gets to there, she slows her pace.
She's moving again and looking and it's not much longer before she spots her aunt. She exhales a deep breath and quickens her pace, her heels sinking into the grass but it's not slowing her down any.]
no subject
[She collides with her niece and wraps her arms around her, the relief of having family there drowning the low-level irritation she's been feeling since arriving on the island.]
I am so glad you are here, Diana.
[The clothes are nothing she's ever seen before, especially the entirely impractical footwear, but commenting on Diana's warddrobe can wait for a while.]
no subject
As I am you. I never thought I would get to see you again.
[It is another thing she must be thankful to Eros for. First he'd brought Steve back to her and now her Aunt.
Reluctantly she draws back a bit to study Antiope's face.]
You are well?
no subject
[Antiope examines Diana and her outfit.]
I see your balance has improved, to run on strange shoes like those. Are you well?
[((OOC: The stones/metal pieces used in slingshots were called 'bullets' long before the word was applied to gun ammunition, so Antiope would be familiar with the term and coincidentally using the right term for them.))]
no subject
She chuckles and looks down at her heels. Definitely not ideal in battle but they could be used to stab someone should the need arise.]
A lot has changed since we've last seen each other, obviously my balance is one of them.
But I am overall well. Though, I admit having you here has made things so much better on this island.
no subject
[Antiope is not very good at expressing affection, but given that they've known each other for several thousand years, she knows that Diana will understand.]
