Test Drive #1

[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. Perhaps your character is curious and leaves the temple or maybe they activate their device (accidentally or on purpose).

TOGA PARTY: Eros thinks that a party is what's needed to welcome everyone! This event is held on the beach in the Second District and everyone is welcome! Just be sure to wear your toga (HAHA)! There are large silk tents that are filled with pillows for characters to lounge on. There's food (think Greek) and lots to drink! Eros wants everyone to have fun and get to know each other! So eat, drink and mingle!!

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.

[ Looking back all the time is no way to live, but never looking back is a sure way of repeating your mistakes. Her answer is a little flippant, but his eyes stay soft.

He watches her for a moment and it's an answer in itself. Yes, of course she has it. She cares enough to come after a shy man who clearly wasn't good with this whole thing. She cares enough to be gentle with him, even though he's uncomfortable. She cares about people, even from what he's seen.

Don't lie to yourself, Erica. It's a sure way of making the kind of mistake you can't take back. ]

It changes everything.

[nimbi]

It's Ororo's turn to take a couple of steadying breaths here, locking her rage back up behind the sleek, shiny walls she has built around herself to keep her emotions from causing too much damage.

She lifts a hand to place it on Logan's arm, fingers curling around his wrist so that she can feel the beat of his heart against her skin, grounding her in the here and now.

As much as her entire being is still recoiling from what is happening here, he does make one point in particular that hits her right in her biggest sore spot:

What if the others end up here? What if any of the students do? She has to be here for them if that happens.

"You're right, too. What if, goddess forbid, any of the students end up here?"

She has to be here to figure out how to kill a god if that happens.

She can't just go off and die. She can't force Logan to watch it happen.

"I can't just leave you behind here."

Well, she can, but...

"I won't."

[blonde_beta]

Everything changes anyway [Erica isn't quite meeting his eyes now, though. ]

But that's not a thing here anyway.

[toten_sie]

Like I said.

I like this place a lot. I'm just not sure I can stay.

[blonde_beta]

You think he's going to send you home?

[toten_sie]

I don't know how long he'll accept me.

I'm surprised I even came here.

[blonde_beta]

He doesn't seem that picky, honestly.

[Erica eyes him for a moment. ]

Because of your past or because of your scars?

[toten_sie]

The past. But not the way you're thinking.

It's hard to explain.

[jolting]

He was, of course, more than willing to accept that kiss and return one of his own. "Right," Victor agreed. "Food first, then we'll mingle." He was used to being the one making sure his lovers ate, so stepping so quickly back in that role felt right.

[blonde_beta]

Try me. [Not like she's going anywhere, anyway.]

[toten_sie]

[ He gives her a faint smile before tipping his chin down to his own hand. ]

You hardly want to touch me. And I can't blame you.

[blonde_beta]

Touching you and holding your hand are two completely different things. [ Erica eyed him for a moment before shifting up on her knees and leaning over him, one hand splaying across his chest, fingers sliding down the bare skin.]

Your scars don't bother me one bit.

[putuporshutup]

Maybe it was the booze, but she felt exceptionally warm and fuzzy as she took Victor's arm, leaning on him a bit as they made their way to where most of the food was staged.

"You really don't like the togas?" Meg teased him, knowing full well that he would despise them, save for a costume party.

[toten_sie]

[ He meets her eyes with his own, clear and untroubled but... curious. ]

Do you want me to fuck you?

[ In the matters of love and romance, he's an absolute dunce. But when it's just sex, when it's sex to live, he has no trouble being very clear. ]

[blonde_beta]

Not yet. I kind of like talking to you, actually. You kind of remind me of a friend of mine. [Her smile fades slightly and she settles back against the pillows.]

But it's not off the table or anything.

[toten_sie]

[ He glances down at her hand. ]

Why didn't you want to hold my hand?

[blonde_beta]

I didn't really know you. It's kind of a more personal thing, is all. I like to get to know people first. So that's not off the table either, at least. [A slight shrug before she gives him a smile.]

You seem like a pretty nice guy though so it might happen sooner rather than later.

[toten_sie]

No rush.

[ He looks down at his chest. ]

Though you did more than that.

[blonde_beta]

Different kinds of touching. Holding hands is different from just touching someone. [Erica sighs and lets her head drop back against the pillows.]

[toten_sie]

[ He looks sideways at her before bolstering up the pillows a little for her. ]

It wasn't a complaint. I'm just trying to understand.

[blonde_beta]

Yeah, I kind of figured. You can ask me anything you want. [The pillow adjustment gets him a smile, a real one.]

Thanks.

[toten_sie]

[ He shrugs and gives her a little smile. ]

Do you want to talk?

[ Or does she want to just sit with him for a while? ]

[blonde_beta]

You're not much of a talker, are you? I don't mind quiet. Boyd...he was on the quiet side, but he was always there when I needed him." Isaac too, but Isaac had been different.

He'd fit in.

She and Boyd had been the outsiders.

[toten_sie]

[ He shakes his head. He's fine just sitting with her and... not being alone together. ]

[blonde_beta]

You want some more food or anything, though? [Because honestly, she's fine going to get some for the two of them and then just hanging out.]
