June | Test Drive Meme
Jikan Test Drive MemeMinimize
You've seen this before. The thought strikes suddenly, during whatever it is you were doing. Having an important conversation? Running away from home? Dying in the midst of a fierce battle? Where ever you are, one things is true: you're certain this isn't the first time you've lived through this. But upon realizing this, that's when it happens. Like someone hitting rewind on the VCR, you're back where you were ten minutes ago. And it happens again. And again. And again--Until finally, something is different. A door stands in front of you. Will you go through it? Nothing else seems to be working, so this might be your only chance.
Upon opening the door and heading inside, a strange feeling overwhelms you. It's comforting and warm, like being enveloped in a soft, heavy blanket. You hear a voice murmuring in your ear, but it's unintelligible.
And in the next moment, you've appeared in front of a mysterious stone shrine in the middle of a forest, surrounded by the unfamiliar yet worried faces of fox-like humans in red and white robes, speaking in a foreign language that doesn't sound so foreign to you anymore.
Maryouku University
There isn't much time to process what's happening before characters are transported to the nearby Maryouku University. All injuries are completely healed, and those under mental duress will have a powerful soothing spell cast on them to calm them down. Their every need is met: food is offered, and questions are answered. "You've arrived in the Western Kingdom of Nippon, on a planet called Gaia," they explain. "When you became aware of the timeloop, we... well, let us explain."
Orientation Maryouku University, Kyoto
Everyone is brought to a large auditorium, where dozens of other people looking similarly out of place are seated around them. The Kitsune Yokai from before filter on stage, as well as a number of humans and other Yokai in labcoats. And after a brief introduction, they begin to explain. What they experienced back home was a timeloop. While the loops in their home worlds are smaller and likely to resolve on their own, the fact that such a small amount of time is being repeated is what makes them so dangerous for those who become aware of it. And they've been working around the clock, checking adjacent universes for others who've become aware. While the technical explanations may go over the heads of most, that's not the reason they were all brought together like this.
And they continue to explain: their own world was trapped in a year long loop for decades, if not longer. Through the use of an ancient form of bonding magic, they bound their world to the present flow of time, allowing it to progress past the timeloop. Or at least, that's how they thought it worked. In truth, Kizuna is very powerful reality-warping magic. And thanks to the powerful bond all refugees now share with the country of Nippon, the magic surrounding them will only continue to evolve.
Until a means of resuming the flow of time back in their home world is found, they'll just have to make due with this one. But not to worry, because Nippon is fully committed to taking care of the refugees!
A Brand New Home Kyoto, Kansai
Once orientation is over, characters will be allowed to choose housing in both Kyoto and Tokyo, enabling them the means of easily living between both cities if they please. These housing options will be fully paid for by the government of Nippon, with the NRL and MRU providing a stipend for food expenses in Tokyo and Kyoto respectively.
In lieu of providing transportation, all refugees will be granted an unlimited rail pass that they can use to travel all across Nippon, with express routes connecting the two kingdoms. Additionally, teleportation terminals exclusively for Refugees can be found at the NRL and MRU, allowing instant travel between Tokyo and Kyoto. While this TDM and its prompts are focused on the Western Kingdom, you are welcome to have your character arrive in the Eastern Kingdom instead.
In Higashiyama, a new shop has opened selling enchanted candles, said to utilize a unique method of spell-casting by using thin wooden talismans as wicks. Only while the candle is lit will the spell function. And for refugees, they've developed a special variety that's designed to nullify the effects of passive magic -- essentially, an anti-kizuna candle. Although the area of effect is rather small, it does appear to work in temporarily nullifying all kizuna side effects while lit. But for those hoping for something more exciting, other scents include: a scent that alters a person's personality randomly, a scent that makes people intoxicated, and even a scent that can bring people to orgasm. Light all three at once for a wild time!
In Gion, the local Geiko of the Hanamikoji Okiya dorm are holding a special workshop for those interested in traditional culture. While the workshop itself is certainly worth watching, what they really need is volunteers to be dressed up on stage, dressed as traditional Geisha, or as the more risqué Oiran. But the best part comes after, in which all volunteers will be taken out on the town to bar hop through Gion's most exclusive district. Those dressed up will even be allowed to drink for free, in exchange for singing or dancing for other patrons.
In Uji, those who visit MRU's campus will be surprised to find a high number of Oni visiting from Kyushu. Although it's not uncommon to see Oni in Kyoto, these Oni are distinctly pure-blooded, their skin a vibrant shade of blue, which they show off by wearing sleeveless kimono, or simply going shirtless. It seems they've come to assist with Kizuna research, and as such, can be found curiously watching refugees, or asking to "bond" with them. For science, of course. Sure, it might be a little intimidating to have a seven-foot-tall blue muscle man asking if he can hold your hand, but they're perfectly friendly. Oddly enough, despite being natives, Kizuna side effects will always manifest when bonding with one, and they may even linger for longer than usual.
NRL Time Refugee Support Network
Once they've received their housing assignment, all refugees will be given small handheld devices called magi-tech comms, or magi-comms for short. They're heavier than a conventional smartphone would be, but far sturdier, and powered by the ambient magic that flows through the city. They don't need to be charged, but they won't work outside of cities at all. Upon booting it up, they'll find a message linking them to a special channel for refugees.
#nrl_time_refugee_support - online
Use the following code for your top-level if you'd like! This is how network communication will look for characters in the game until more advanced magi-tech comms become available for characters.
Above The Trees
Sitting south of Kyoto, the city of Nara is a popular destination for refugees, given the city's almost magical appearance. Located around a forest of massive trees, most of the city proper extends up into them, vast canopies stretching from tree to tree with buildings and infrastructure built into them. With little light able to reach the forest floor, the streets of the lowest district are lit up with naturally occurring bio-luminescent flowers and mushrooms in place of streetlights.
After all the excitement last month, why not take some time to relax in one of Nippon's most peaceful regions?
Wildlife Strife Narashi, Nara
Although the West is well-known for living in harmony with the ayakashi, no where is that more true than Nara, where ayakashi are treated with the utmost reverence.
One of the more common ayakashi found is the Arukibake, the ghost-walker ayakashi. Utterly harmless, these little leggy ghosts can be found strutting around the city at every corner, ranging from the size of an apple to waist-height. However, they're known to be attracted to people who have recently experienced bouts of depression or loneliness. The exact reason for this is unknown, but anyone seen with a small procession of these fellas marching silently behind them is certain to get more than a few concerned passer-bys offering them a warm meal, a hug, or even a shoulder to cry on if they need it. Even for the Western Kingdom, it seems the people of Nara are especially compassionate.
But among all the ayakashi in Nara, the most well-known is the Saiwaika, the good-fortune deer. Growing no more than two feet high, these miniature deer can be found in parks throughout Nara, where they've become so docile and used to the presence of Yokai that they'll walk right up and cutely beg for food. Those who look upon their tiny, dainty forms will find themselves strongly compelled to be generous and kind to every living creature they meet. Originally a defense mechanism against predators, the saiwaika instead offer this power as a blessing to the people of Nara, which is said to have the lowest crime rate of any city in the Western Kingdom.
Thankfully, vendors selling special crackers for the saiwaika can be found everywhere. And while they've learned not to steal them off the stall tables, once the wrapping comes off, it's a free-for-all. The tiny deer have been known to swarm, nibbling at the clothes of those bearing the treats. Some even attempt to jump and steal them, with the saiwaika being well-known for its ability to leap nearly ten feet into the air. Yes, this looks as silly as you can imagine.
But for all that the Ayakashi in Nara are peaceful, there are still more than a few troublemakers. One in particular to look out for is the Gurakurage, the glass-jelly ayakashi. Appearing in an array of beautiful colors, these ayakashi are attracted by greed and feelings of lust. It's not uncommon to see them tethered by a string in shops, where their increased activity serves as a warning to look out for shoplifters. But when encountered in the wild, these strange jellyfish will latch onto the bodies of people experiencing sexual frustration. A minor annoyance to be sure, as they can simply be peeled off, but just don't break the glass dome atop their head. Doing so will greatly anger the ayakashi, causing them to grow in size before... well. I think we all know where the prompt with the tentacle creature is going.
Sweets in the Sky Narashi, Nara
In the highest levels of Nara's main district, Narashi, a new sweets shop has been drawing in customers from all over the west. Very few businesses are allowed in the highest level, which is usually reserved for shrines or particularly wealthy homeowners, as it's the only area that breaches the top of the forest. With outdoor seating, guests will be be able the see the rarest view in all of Nara -- a sea of green stretched out as far as the eye can see, with the city of Kyoto visible in the distance. Probably not ideal for anyone with a fear of heights.
In addition to some of the cutest parfaits this side of Nippon, their biggest claim to fame is their enchanted candy, each variety possessing one of a number of special effects. Children in particular are quite fond of the goofier ones, such as chewing gum that alters a person's voice, lemon hard candies that cause people to shrink in size, and little sugar stars that create illusions of fireworks over the consumer's shoulders.
They even have special varieties for adult customers, which include: lollipops flavored with uki, ice cream filled mochi flavored with uki, uki taffy, uki hard candies, uki ice cream... you get the idea. As with all sweets filled with uki, those who consume them will feel a mild and pleasant high, lowering inhibitions and reducing stress, and occasionally functioning as a mild aphrodisiac.
That said, please don't fuck in their bathrooms (looking at you, Kazuha). There are plenty of reasonably priced hotels in the lower streets of Nara.
Starry Night Narashi, Nara
Those who visited Nara last October may recall the serene waters of Sarusawa Pond, built into an artificial park within the trees, and one of the best places to view the stars in Nara. Visitors can climb up to the highest balconies of a nearby five-story pagoda, or watch the stars as they're reflected in the near mirror-like surface of the water. And thankfully, this month, it's entirely safe to do so (we don't talk about October).
A special meteor shower is taking place during the second week of the month, and as such, many locals have taken the opportunity to hold a small festival within the park around the pond. Throughout the day, stalls selling food and little trinkets line the edges of the park. But once night comes, all lights are turned off, as a spectacular view of shooting stars can be seen in the starry sky overhead. And better yet -- the ring that exists around the planet Gaia causes some of these meteors to grow rainbow tails as they shoot across the sky.
Among the crowd, some refugees may hear whispers of locals suggesting that one should make a wish when they see a meteor with a rainbow tail. And while this is just a local superstition, for the refugees, it'll be so much more than that.
Those present in the park will find that their wishes may very well come true. Material goods will suddenly appear in their hands, any aches or ailments will immediately be healed, and those who wish for the company of a good friend will find them seated next to them (provided they are in Nippon, or are an incoming castmate or auxiliary NPC, see the notes for details).
Unlike usual kizuna-powered wishes, these ones will 100% stick around! How nice! Even the locals, though perhaps a little jealous, will see this miracle as a sign that their world has accepted them, the gods wishing to reward them for any hardship they have faced.
OOC Notes
Welcome to Jikan's June TDM! The TDM is considered game canon, and also serves as the intro log! That said, whether you choose to carry threads over to the game or not is up to you!
• Current players are more than welcome to top-level, or take prompts from the TDM and use for their own logs! This may change in the future depending on how busy TDMs become.
• CRAU characters may start regaining their CRAU memories one month after the TDM. However, vague feelings of familiarity are allowed between previous game CR! For more on this, please read the FAQ!
• You do not need to sign-up for housing! Choose whichever style you prefer, in both Kyoto and Tokyo. Roommates can be chosen by the characters or can be random. If you want to switch housing later, your character has the option of moving at the beginning of each month.
• Uki-flavored treats are available for customers 15 and older, as the age of majority in the West varies based on race.
• All players are welcome to wish any item from home, magical or otherwise, using the meteor shower wishes. Keep in mind, the item must be something they can reasonably carry home with them.
• Players bringing a new character into the setting may have them wished into the setting using the meteor shower wishes. They will still recall a timeloop, but instead of a door, they will hear the voice of the character wishing them into the setting calling their name, and will appear in Nippon when they turn to look for that voice. These characters must visit either the NRL or MRU within the next few days to receive a proper bond with Nippon to ensure they don't disappear. Additionally, players may bring in Auxiliary NPCs using this mechanic as well. Keep in mind, these characters will remain in the setting, but you are not required to actively play them, nor add them to the auxiliary NPC page unless you wish to do so.
Please leave any questions about the TDM prompts in the thread below! General game questions can be directed to the FAQ!
Apps are always open!

Zhongli | Genshin Impact
[you can bet your bottom mora that a candle shop would be one of the first places to attract Zhongli. It's true that he's only just arrived here in Nippon, but there's time enough to be concerned... ah, later. Later, when he's not bending over a display of candles and grilling the poor salespeople over their product.]
Interesting... candles which produce magical effects are not something I had ever considered possible, and yet I can see no reason as to why they shouldn't work. [Hand on his chin, he regards the candles with some measure of awe and curiosity.] the candle wax appears to be of an extremely high grade, and their unlit scents are mild and pleasant. Do you write the sigils individually yourself? How do you manage to preserve them through the process of pouring the candle?
[save them from this, probably...?]
2. First come, first served
[Zhongli peers out over the sprawling green canopy laid out below the highest level of Narashi, a strange sense of nostalgia on his face. Up here, it's easy for him to forget much of where he'd been, easy to warm to the idea of what he'd set out to do. One can find him here at any time of day, probably monologuing about the trees and scenery to anyone willing to listen...]
3. Sugar sugar
[... or perhaps they find him in the sweets shop, looking over the display of adorable parfaits and other sweets. He's made a small selection of them - a few uki-infused ones for curiosity's sake, a parfait at the suggestion of the seller's suggestion, some varied candies.
The problem, of course, arises a little later, when he's finishing his transaction. Staring a little blankly down at himself, Zhongli exhales a sigh.]
... payment... yes, of course. Apologies. It... appears I have left my wallet at home.
[what a pity, and he was really looking forward to trying all this...]
4. Wildcard
[If none of these work for you, please feel free to write up a wildcard or hmu on discord, pms, or at
3!!
[How nostalgic, a broke-ass old man.]
[Aether only came up here to enjoy the view, but when he saw the familiar figure in the shop-- well, let's be real, he was already taking out his wallet to cover the inevitable unpaid bill. Thankfully, he already knows what to expect memory-wise (or so he thinks), so the smile on his face is a warm one.]
Long time, no see! How long have you been here?
no subject
It's the warm reception that surprises him the most, really. The difference in what he recalls of the young man and what's presented here is--
Ah. But there's a conversation at hand, isn't there?]
... you have my thanks, Aether. [It's not as though it's important to pretend he doesn't know the man, after all! He'd like to bring up the perplexing reception, but it feels ill timed right now (and not just because he's offering to buy candles for Zhongli, gosh).] I've only just arrived, really. A handful of days, at most.
You... seem in good spirits. I am glad to see it, after all this time.
no subject
[Or at least, that was the assumption, up until the last bit at the end. How ominous.]
'After all this time'? Have I always come off as particularly gloomy to you?

3 move out of the way old man
He makes a mental note not to pay for him this time around, but that doesn't help the fact that until Zhongli gets out of the way, he can't order any sweets for himself. Something that simply won't do, he doesn't indulge on his own often and he wants his sweets. So instead of help, Zhongli is met with an irritated immortal huffing behind him.]
Do you ever have money with you?
Wao how rude
One day, perhaps, he'll remember to carry it. The fact that it's not mora certainly helps with the idea, though not the execution.]
Regrettably, it is something that I seem to forget quite frequently. [There's recognition there, guarded and curious. Something is strange, he thinks.] Apologies, though - I know of you, but I do not believe we've had the pleasure of meeting.
Ah, but first-- [casting a weary glance to his intended purchases, he exhales a sigh.] I suppose my transaction should be set aside for now. It is not my intention to be in the way.
no subject
I'm well aware.
[But if the man already knows of him does he really need to introduce himself?
The doll thinks not, instead perking up at the idea that he may get to order something as Zhongli realizes he should set aside his items for the time being. What he wants is quite simple, a parfait that is likely too large for someone of his size, and too colourful for someone of such dour expression. A sweet tooth that doesn't quite rival his creator's, but makes it clear enough where he gets his occasional desire for certain sweets. Once he's finally able to make his order he leans against the counter, turning his gaze back towards Zhongli.]
How is it that the God of Commerce constantly forgets his wallet?

2
It's pleasant, in a totally new way. )
If I may ask... ( He pours the tea into both their cups as he speaks, every detail done with the practiced refinement of someone who has been serving such things all his life, ) Are these trees of similar species to those found in your own world?
no subject
Perhaps there was a moment of surprise over Drew's appearance, but it's almost... nostalgic somehow (totally doesn't bring to mind a certain rockfrog, nor any adepti, no of course not).]
There are quite a number that I recognise as being very similar to Teyvat's wildlife, yes. Most of these particular specimens are more like those I would expect to see on the islands of Inazuma than my own home if Liyue, though I suppose that means little to you in turn. [crossing his legs, Zhongli lifts his teacup, inhaling the soothing scent before taking a sip.] In truth, much of this land of Nippon reminds me of Inazuma. Its flora and fauna, even parts of its culture resemble the traditions I've learned of in my travels.
I suspect from your phrasing that this is not quite so true for you?
no subject
Once his tea has cooled a little, he takes his own sip, everything done with the careful, delicate motions of someone who has practiced this to an art form, who is at all times aware of his posture and appearance.
When the question is turned on him, however, Drew's ear twitches in thought. )
The city of Gyrate itself is largely industrialised. Most parks and gardens are not on the scale of something like this.
( Nik trying to answer things without potentially contradicting canon GO. )
It has been rather fascinating to see nature and civilisation co-exist in this manner.

2 time to wax poetic about trees
so to see Zhongli while taking in the sights of the higher levels in Narashi as a way to clear his mind, there's a soft smile that's brought to his face when he hears him waxing poetic of the splendor around them. as he steps closer, Dohalim waits for him to finish, before speaking]
Zhongli. It's a pleasure to see you again.
Trees and questions
[The voice that calls to him is utterly unfamiliar, unfortunately for Dohalim. He'll probably catch it in the look on Zhongli's face when the man turns, the lack of recognition in his otherwise kind smile. With Aether's explanation of parallel timelines, the realisation will come sooner than later - even if the idea that he's been here before doesn't really sit well.]
Again...? I'm terribly sorry, it seems you've caught me at a loss, sir. We've clearly met, but I'm quite sure that should be impossible.
no subject
something to lament later on. though, Dohalim has to take in some humour at the idea of being called 'sir' from a man who is literally thousands of years old...
his smile dips ever so slightly as he shakes his head]
...Forgive me. My name is Dohalim. We've... met, briefly. I couldn't help but be drawn in by your expressed appreciation of the nature around us.

1;
What does any of it matter, they wonder, because even if it's a magic candle it's still just... a magic candle. Knowing how it works isn't going to change anything, and it's not like getting trade secrets will just make him able to replicate them... Probably?
They're not really sure, but it ultimately doesn't matter. Still, it's a great chance to insert themself into this conversation and see what happens.]
You seem to know a lot about candles - you something of an artisan yourself?
[Their voice is cheerful, bright, and they at least sound genuinely curious.]
no subject
[Zhongli turns his attention to them when they speak, offering a warm smile. the shopkeep keeps their relief mild, but it's still there.]
In truth, I'm simply a man who has spent a lot of time in the company of all sorts of artisans. As a result, I'm rather knowledgeable in many things. Although, if you've questions about these candles in particular, I'm sure they can answer them better than I.
no subject
[Mild it may be, the shopkeeper's relief still catches their notice.]
Guess you must be a pretty good listener.
[It's a flippant comment, as they look over the candles. It's all stuff that's actually interesting - how something as simple as burning a candle could be casting a spell. They've got no experience with magic or the like, and they hum a bit as they pick up a bubblegum pink candle.]
These candles are pretty neat, but I think asking so many questions might ruin the magic of them, y'know? Don't you just want to experience things without knowing what to expect, sometimes?

2 :D
It's the early afternoon and Vennessa has some time to waste, and when the man stops speaking - perhaps a natural pause, or maybe he's finished? - she straightens up slightly on the bench she's occupying and trains her gaze on him silently.
Ah... but it doesn't look like he's going anywhere.
Vennessa pushes herself up to her feet and ventures to join him, coming to a stop a respectable distance away and looking out over the view. It is beautiful - certainly worthy of the amount of words he has so far spent on it.]
It's lovely up here. [She comments, glancing at him with a smile.] Nara was one of the first places I visited when I arrived in Nippon. I've always thought of coming back.
no subject
[Zhongli's weight shifts as Vennessa speaks, his gaze turning to her. his own smile is wan, but warm, head inclining forward. it's nice, really, seeing people who've been here for a while - that certainly helps him learn more and much more quickly.]
You've been here for some time, then? Both here in Nara and in Nippon itself, I suppose. [tapping his chin, Zhongli considers her - there's something vaguely familiar about her, but he hasn't put it together yet. after all, he never met Vennessa himself, and there's no sense in rushing to try and suss out that familiarity.] It speaks highly of any locale where such lush greenery grows so freely. I wonder if perhaps there are lodgings available here...?
[an idle thought, but a fair one.]
no subject
[And it feels, somehow, simultaneously far longer than that and as if it has been no time at all. Time could be such a funny thing when so much is always happening around you.] Though I've been in Nara for a couple of days. I really ought to have come back sooner.
[She chuckles, shaking her head. It isn't as if she hasn't had the opportunity to come here again, but... it has simply been something she has never taken the time to do.]
If you wanted to stay, I'm sure that you could find housing here. [It's available everywhere else, so why not here? Vennessa looks over at him, studying him for a few quiet moments before asking the question that's been burning at her since she saw the Geo Vision on the back of his coat.]
You're from Teyvat, aren't you? Liyue?

Also apparently he has no money, despite looking rather wealthy. Okay then.
So Zhongli will hear the sound of a young woman sighing gently behind him, before she shuffles around him - hand outstretched, money already being handed to the cashier. ]
Here, I'll pay. [ She may not have much at the moment, but she can at least pay for this. ]
no subject
Ah- [When he turns to face her, there's a moment of pause in turn - a familiar feeling for both of them, it seems. Neither is sure what the other is, but at least for now, Zhongli doesn't mind that.] ... my thanks, miss. I shall repay you when I retrieve my wallet and see you again.
[Which will require both of those things harrowing at one time... and so, it's... pretty unlikely to be anytime soon. With his treats in hand, he can regard Lapis more fully too, nodding half to himself.]
Perhaps you would also be amenable to sharing a table? I have often found the gastronomical fare of a locale is much more enjoyable to try with others.
[Oh yes, he's a nerd.]
no subject
Which she cradles in her hands like it's a precious thing, her focus then drifting back to Zhongli when he has his own sweets in hand. Golden eyes peering up at him, before there's a curious blink at his offer... Company is certainly something she won't turn down, especially in this strange new place.
Even if how he words things is a bit. Different. But well, he seems nice enough so she nods, the iciness of her expression melting slightly.]
Mmhm, I would be. [ A table, hmm... Her eyes zone in on one near the railing, and she peeks over at Zhongli once more. ]
What about over there? [ Said with a motion of her head, since her hands are a bit full. ]

However, when she heard a familiar voice? A part of her raised an eyebrow at him.]
I'm impressed you know a lot about the trees here. Where did you already learn that much about them?
no subject
Director. I didn't expect to see you here - I simply asked the locals about the place upon my arrival, of course. Many of them are not dissimilar to ones from Teyvat, even.
[his lips curl into a mild smile, barely there really.]
You look well, Hu Tao.
no subject
I'm not surprised, you always were a walking dictionary back in Liyue. I should have expected you would want to know as much as you can here in this strange new world.
[Not that she can complain when she wanted to know what this world had to offer. Although, despite her earlier attitude, she couldn't help but chuckle.]
But I could say the same thing from you. You seem to be enjoying yourself.
