Jikan Test Drive Meme
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 a laboratory, surrounded by the unfamiliar yet worried faces of people in lab coats, speaking in a foreign language that doesn't sound so foreign to you anymore.

Nanjikan Research Laboratory

There isn't much time to process what's happening before characters are ushered out of the arrival room. They're passed between a medical and a psychiatric team, checking them for injuries and psychological trauma. Their every need is met: food is offered, injuries are tended to, and questions are answered. "You're in a country called Nippon in a world called Gaia," they explain. "You were brought here because you became aware of the timeloop... we'll explain everything."

And they keep their word.

Orientation Nanjikan Research Lab, Tokyo
Everyone is brought to a large auditorium, where dozens of other people looking similarly out of place are seated around them. The scientists and doctors from before file on stage, thoroughly explaining the situation. 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.

"Ultimately, the reason all of this happened was because of our world. By decree of the emperor, we at NRL have been chosen to speak on the behalf of all the people of Nippon when we say... we are sorry."

Down the line, each one bows deeply at the waist, some going so far as to kneel to the floor. And they continue to explain: their own world was trapped in a year long loop for decades, if not longer. When they finally found a means of progressing past the loop, they realized that time was corrupted at a far greater scale than they could have ever imagined. Until they can find a way to truly undo the effects, all they can do is save those who've become aware of it on other worlds, so that they won't suffer.

And you, dear refugees, are the first wave to be rescued.

A Place to Call Home Tokyo, Kanto
Once orientation is over, characters will be given one of three options for housing. Housing will be paid by the government of Nippon until they decide to move elsewhere, with NRL providing a stipend for food expenses. Click here for some ideas and examples of what their housing might look like.

Most of the refugees will be placed in one or two bedroom apartments on the edge of Nihonbashi. These rooms come fully furnished, and are scattered around the district in clusters to encourage intermingling with the native populace. They're a little small, but fairly luxurious considering the location. If you're lucky, you might even snag one with a western-style bed instead of a futon!

Those who've decided they wish to live in groups of three or more will be provided old homes in Little Edo. It doesn't take more than a glance to realize these homes must have been abandoned at some point before being used for refugees, with some odd furnishings sometimes left behind. While the buildings could use some heavy TLC and have no built-in heating or cooling systems, there's plenty of space, and even a private little garden!

And those who think they might struggle with settling in (or who simply aren't so lucky to get an apartment) will be assigned to a dormitory in Yoshiwara. One or two people share a small room with communal kitchens and living areas, and a private toilet with no bath. There is, however, a public bathhouse nearby that residents can use for free. These dorms are strictly for refugees, and are by far the most run down. But surely getting to live in the exclusive Yoshiwara Entertainment district makes it all worth it, right?

Characters will be provided transportation to their new accommodation. Those in the apartments will be encouraged to introduce themselves to their neighbors. The shared houses are going to need a bit of cleaning and sorting of old furniture to make it more livable. And the dorms, well... they let you pick your own room? Though given how small some of these are, it seems a bit unfair that you won't even have it to yourself.


NRL Time Refugee Support Network
Once they've received their housing assignment, all refugees will be given small handheld devices called magi-tech comms. 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.

Happy Actual New Year

With the refugees showing up on New Year's Day, it's no surprise that they're immediately met with new years activities. But even those familiar with a Japan-like culture might find some of the excitement to be a little extreme. The streets are so packed, many have been closed to anything other than pedestrians. Fireworks light up the skies for hours on end every single night, well past New Years Day. And some people can even be found openly sobbing as they make their way to the various shrines around the city, seemingly overwhelmed with relief. As the scientists at NRL are happy to explain -- this is the first real new year since their world was freed.


"I know that many of you might not feel like celebrating right now, but please understand...
It's been 1920 for a very, very long time."


Bridge Buffet Nihonbashi, Tokyo
By far, the most lively celebrations will be in Nihonbashi. Located at the heart of Tokyo, Nihonbashi is home to a large bridge comprised of many intersecting paths, standing as a crossroad to every neighborhood in the city. Rather than simply connecting two sides of a waterway, the designers sought to make Nihonbashi a hub for all of Tokyo, with pathways going across the water, down underground, and even high into the sky, allowing pedestrians to walk alongside tall buildings to get to where they need to go. And with all the foot traffic, it's no surprise that many shops, restaurants, and food stalls chose to build on or around the bridge.

With all the celebrations, food stalls selling traditional Japanese new year's food currently make up the majority of business on the bridge. And thankfully, the stipend provided to refugees includes money for food as well! But while the food may look delicious, it seems something strange is going on right now.

Characters may bite into some freshly made mochi only for the mochi to turn into raw grains of rice in their mouth. Hot cups of ozoni soup will be steaming hot one minute, and ice cold with raw vegetables the next. And the most egregious: their food disappears entirely, leaving them with a full stomach and no memory of just how delicious the food was. When asked, the food sellers can only apologize, explaining that a time surge, lingering aftereffects of their world being suspended in time for so long, had settled on the area a few days ago, causing the odd occurrences.

But even with the odd occurrences, there's no denying that Nihonbashi is the best place you can watch the evening fireworks. It's still rather cold this time of year, so why not find someone to curl up with and watch the show?

It's Symbolic šŸŽµ Yoshiwara, Tokyo
For those looking for some entertainment, they'll be swiftly pointed in the direction of Yoshiwara, the entertainment capital of Tokyo. Surrounded by tall stone walls, with entrances at each compass point, Yoshiwara almost feels like it's own city. Buildings vary wildly between very old and very modern, with some bearing more exotic architecture as well. Naturally, the people here are eager to ring in the new year, too.

The Shinbashi Theater has been preparing for this day for a long time. Ordinarily, tickets can be rather pricey. But for the first week of the new year, all shows will be free, playing all day with the cooperation of every acting and performing troupe in Yoshiwara. The performances very greatly from one to the next, ranging from Bunraku puppet theater, to action-filled Kabuki plays. But the refugees might find one play in particular to be of interest: an artistic re-telling of how the world was saved.

It starts with an ordinary scene. Two people greet each other on stage, have a simple conversation about a show they watched the other night, and then exit. The scene then replays three more times, before one of them suddenly appears to snap, screaming in anguish as he falls to his knees. But almost immediately after -- they exit, and the scene repeats once more. From there, the same man who snapped is shown again, after years of reliving the same day over and over, utterly convinced he'd simply lost his mind. Finally, it's not until a young woman sees him on the street and reaches out to him with compassion that something changes -- and then, the next day finally comes. The play ends with a monologue, preaching the importance of fostering bonds between one another, so that no one is left behind in an unending past ever again.

Strange. Is that really how they saved their world? Or was there more to it than that?

In Memorium Little Edo, Tokyo
And for those looking for a more quiet or somber affair, look no further than Little Edo. Seemingly preserved as a slice of ancient Japan, the quaint, wooden houses and dirt roads stand in stark contrast to the metropolis that is Tokyo. But it wasn't always this way. Despite the celebrations going on, their world isn't exactly fixed yet, and Little Edo stands as a testament to that. A rather large time surge is to blame for the buildings of Little Edo look as though they were build hundreds of years ago. Because they are, in fact, buildings that only existed hundreds of years ago, having replaced the modern neighborhood that once stood in its place.

Those who visit will be encouraged to leave incense and prayers at one of the many shrines or temples located there, in honour of those whose bodies and minds couldn't handle the anguish caused by the time loops. "You're the lucky ones," they say. But there's no resentment in their words. If anything, refugees will be treated with more kindness here than anywhere else in Tokyo. Individual families may welcome them into their homes for a free, homecooked meal, or offer to give them a tour around Tokyo. And all shrines will be offering free cups of amazake, a sweet and creamy fermented rice drink, served hot.

But for those patient enough to wait for a chance to visit one of the many crowded temples, they'll have the opportunity to make an offering. Whether it's a stick of incense gifted by one of the families in Little Edo, or a five-yen coin they found on the sidewalk, in return, they'll be given a fortune. Ordinarily, one wouldn't need to put much stock into these sort of things unless they strongly believed it. But for the refugees, unbeknownst to them, the Kizuna magic surrounding them will cause those fortunes to come true. Characters who drew "small blessing" might just find a „500 coin on the ground. "Curse" might cause one to trip on their way out of the temple. You'd better hope it has something nice to say about your love life!


OOC Notes
Welcome to Jikan's first TDM! Jikan is an invite-only game, and you must be invited by [plurk.com profile] randomsnarfle or one of my friends to apply!

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!

• Please note that characters do not know what Kizuna is at this point in time. This will be revealed in the first event!

• 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. 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.

• Time surges on the bridge can affect more than just food, but cannot effect anything living! For example, fabric can be returned to raw cotton or piles of loose thread, but people can't suddenly become younger. More powerful time surges in the future may have these effects!

• The effects of the fortunes can be immediate or long-term, but will be nullified if a new fortune is drawn.


Please leave any questions about the TDM prompts in the thread below! General game questions can be directed to the FAQ!

Reserves are open, and Apps will open January 1st at 12:01am EST!

reflash: (me: im fine)

Yukio Okumura | Blue Exorcist | ota | cw: suicidal character + spoilers for recent chapters

[personal profile] reflash 2020-12-31 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
[Rin throws a punch, untrained and wild and entirely telegraphed, and Yukio dodges, grabs that flailing arm and throws his brother to the ground.

It's familiar. There's a sense of deja vu that's more than just the dulled, distant way he's been experiencing his existence for the past few weeks. And then suddenly, it's ten minutes ago, and he nearly drops the piece of rebar he's holding in shaking hands.

Ten minutes all over again, Satan taunting and Rin desperately begging Yukio to change his mind, and a fight and explosions and not a single other person on this disintegrating airship has any idea.

And then again. And again.

Nothing really changes, no matter what Yukio tries, no matter if he kills himself, destroys his own eye, just gives up without a fight when Rin barges through that door with a tear-streaked face.

It can't be a demon's doing, he realizes sometime during the second loop. Satan isn't aware of it, and Mephisto doesn't show up to toy with him. But he doesn't know what it could be, until a door appears in front of him and he can just step through.
]

A: dorm time
[Yukio was fortunate enough to have a room to himself in the dorm he was placed in. He needs space to himself, he needs time to think, he needs to pull himself together and--

he needs to eat something. It's been... he doesn't even know how long it's been since he's eaten anything. A day? A couple days? He can't remember. He needs to focus. Needs to eat something, find an energy drink or coffee or something.

You can find him in the kitchen, eventually. An exhausted, worn-down, just-turned-16-year-old dressed in local clothing with a pair of gleaming red pistols in a back holster, who's sort of... stalled out, looking blankly past a pot of rice as it burns on the stove.
]

B: symbolic
[Yukio is watching the play with a focused, frowning sort of expression.]

What do you think really happened? [He says to the nearest newcomer, after it ends.]

[Probably Yukio didn't actually look at the nearest newcomer, who is a skeleton. He's very focused on the play after all.]

Maybe it's metaphorical, nu...?
reflash: (Your life is your life)

[personal profile] reflash 2020-12-31 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
[Focused, or possibly just... not paying attention. There's kind of that air about him, not dazed but distant. He blinks once, but that's all, he's apparently just going to accept that he's having a conversation with a talking skeleton.]

Probably. But they didn't seem to be taking it as a metaphor.
accidentallich: (you gave me my life)

[personal profile] accidentallich 2020-12-31 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
Hm... Well, this is a world where time loops happen, I don't see why the power of love couldn't be a real thing too.

[He is admittedly not an expert in this kind of things. He is merely a skeleton in cat patterned pajamas.]

It's the smell he notices second and that's what keeps him in place-that unnatural smoky scent hitting his nostrils as he turns to leave.

The kid doesn't make a move. His gaze seems fixated on a singular spot on the wall and not on the burning food in front of him.

...The dream ended or maybe it has only just begun.

[Kiki's voice is soft in return, but there's a chill in its calm tone. She should have left. The play is too relatable beyond the time loops. Prolonged, repetitive suffering-- the telepath knows it all too well.

And just thinking about her situation broadcasts her thoughts to Yukio. It's only a short instant, but he'll see himself in a hospital bed with a view of fireworks outside. Then, after a turn of his head, a shadowy figure comes into view-- the vision stops and he's back to reality.]
reflash: (whatever (becomes an enemy of the state))

[personal profile] reflash 2021-01-04 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
[This is the wrong teenager to project thoughts to, Kiki. He pulls back, eyes wide behind the frames of his glasses for a second, and then there's a gun pointed directly at her face.]

What was that?

cw: another suicidal character

[personal profile] longsilence 2021-01-04 03:00 am (UTC)(link)
[The only show of surprise is Kiki's eyes widening for a few seconds before her affect flattens out. She's too calm about this. And not because she feels confident in being able to dodge a bullet. The telepath does not fear death.]

I'm sorry. I don't have control over my thoughts being broadcast to others. [...But she said she would wait until there was a solution. This world almost feels like a step towards it, and she hasn't been free in a long time.

Besides, Yukio seems too young to have her death on his hands.]


Please put the gun away. You might end up causing a commotion.

Roxas turns from his completely engrossed attention to the stage. "What do you mean? They said they stopped the time loops by establishing strong bonds."

Yes, Roxas is 100% ready to believe that's all it would take to reverse a worldwide curse. He's seen that bonds have the power to restore people into existence and to open gateways to other worlds. Stopping what looks to be a status affect isn't outside of the realms of possibility, by a long stretch.

"... they did say that. But things usually aren't that easy."

[personal profile] terribletwos 2021-01-05 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
"Maybe they are in this world. Bonds hold an incredible amount of power sometimes."

He can kind of understand why people would be skeptical. Roxas isn't the most idealistic person himself. He's just been fortunate enough to see what bonds can actually do. And he knows that an important piece to their power is people's belief in them.

[ She tucks the fortune she's drawn into her jacket without looking at it and turns for the temple steps, shoving her hands in her pockets with her head tilted down and her eyes closed to quietly uttered prayers and burnt incense. As the sun edges closer to a complete recession, she's a small, dark, quiet thing stepping with force and purpose through growing shadows with the exception of a heavy sigh, a hand tugged from her pocket and snaked through black strands and feathers with care. ]

A year to the day, hm?

[ And the plans she'd originally made to honor the memory of that person on the anniversary of his passing had been disrupted by something like this and now coincided with the celebration of a new year in a different world. There's something to be said for it, for loop after loop, memory, and emotions, but she's felt less like speaking today than she has in previous days. Today, she feels more than ever that she's missing not one, but two limbs, organs, two pieces of her heart beyond her reach --

She shoves her hand back in her pocket with the thought, and just as she arrives at the third step. There's the briefest of pauses, then she hops the last three onto the street proper. She doesn't pause after the fact, though. No, she needs to keep moving, walking. She needs to keep busy or she'll stop and -- and she turns to step and nearly steps right into someone, bumping a taller shoulder roughly.

She shouldn't, but she pauses and turns just so, lifting her head just slightly -- ]


Excuse me.

[His head aches. His head aches, and his stomach is twisted into a knot and he feels like there's static under his skin, feels on edge, has felt this way for too long. Someone bumps in to him and he whirls around, snapping already with irritation.]

Watch where you're going.

[ Her eyes find his face initially, but it's habit to cast a subtle gaze and take in a body, the details. That irritation is as plain about his body as it is in his voice. A local? She'd think so with the way he's dressed, but the guns at his side draw her eyes and give her more than a moment's pause. ]

Sound advice. It's a public street.

[ She returns, and turns to go her way. ]
