pathemaooc | 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:

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.

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.

Oh, you're no fun.

[She's being a troll but it's how she's coping right now, okay?]

Uh, I wouldn't say that I'm use to it because no matter what version of this place, it's still super shitty.

Not right now.

[He assures her in the same tone he's been using threw this whole conversation. Penny is used to shit hitting the fan pretty quickly and he's growing a shorter fuse for it.]

Thanks for the straight answer.

You can continue being sarcastic now.

Look what do you want me to tell you? This isn't the first version of this shitty place okay? I was on the first version of it and I was there for over 4 years so I'm not exactly thrilled to find myself on a shittier version of that place.

But whatever, I'll go back to being sarcastic and you can go back to being an ass.

[Him being an ass sounds like a great plan but Penny knows that in the end it'll get him nowhere.]

Fine. Tell me about this first island.

[He suddenly sounds very tired.]

[She doesn't even attempt to him the roll of her eyes. So now he wanted to not being a dick, of course. She had information he wanted.]

There's not much to tell. [She shrugged her shoulders.] Different God in charge, Atia, she's his cousin or sister or sister-cousin. Same collars, same needing to have sex to reset them. That island had electricity and shit to at least entertain us when we weren't having to bone to breathe though.

Great.

[He realizes that this isn't her fault and that he's being a dick but he's still debating if he wants to stop being a dick.]

Probably have to fuck to get the power back. [If only he had more of is magic.]

Yeah, why don't you go bitch to Eros about just how great all of this is?

[She leans back in her chair in her house, propping her feet up on her table.]

Probably, probably have to have alotta sex to do much of anything around here.

Edited (icon change) 2017-07-03 00:31 (UTC)

I'm trying not to have people look at me like I'm crazy. I already get enough of that shit.

[He rolls his shoulders in a shrug.]

There has to be something else we can do... [Not that he's opposed to sex but the no electricity thing is really annoying.]

I don't know. I just got here. Last island I was on, I owned a couple of businesses. Doesn't seem like they've got much of anything here.

[She eyed him.]

You good at anything? I mean like what can you do? Computers, painting stuff like that.

Magician and similar shit like that.

[He can't world hop, he's already tried and considering the magic shit with the collar and being brought here he didn't think being magical would be all that strange.]

Right.

[Not even phased. People having magic is not the weirdest shit she'd seen on these islands.]

Can you use any of your magic of did Eros dick you over and take it all from you?

Eros wasn't a complete dick but I can't use very much of it.

[He rolls his shoulders in a shrug.]

Where you at?

Well at least there's that.

[She looked around her shitty house and shrugged.]

Right now I'm in this shitty house that's suppose to be mine. It has my clothes though so that's kinda stellar. I was thinking of heading down to the tavern though, I think I need like a bunch of drinks.

[She hesitates for a moment before flashing him a smile. Look how cute she is.]

Wanna join me?

Edited 2017-07-04 02:07 (UTC)

[She's so very cute.]

I'll beat you there.

[Static fills the phone and then the sounds of people talking behind him.]

See you.

[She's cuter in person.]

Probably because I have to be a girl and change my clothes.

But I'll see you there.

((OOC: wanna action it out?))

((OOC: let's see if I can finish his app and we can do it then!!!))
