April | Test Drive Meme

Jikan Test Drive Meme
MinimizeYou'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 on a planet called Gaia," they explain. "You were brought here because you became aware of the timeloop... we'll explain everything."

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.


"In order to bring you here, we used the very same magic responsible for freeing our world... Kizuna."


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, it appears to be magic capable of distorting reality itself. But by the time they realized this was the case, they had already begun the process of rescuing others from similar worlds using that very same magic.

Until they find the means of resuming the flow of time back in your home world, you'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 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.

In lieu of providing transportation, all refugees will be granted an unlimited rail pass that they can use to travel all across Nippon!

For those bound for Nihonbashi, be careful not to board the train too late at night. Because on Friday nights, the Loop Line's final train of the night is a party train! Every train car is quickly set up with its own theme and decor, with this week featuring a high school romance car! Upon passing through, passengers will find their clothing magically replaced with (potentially ill-fitting) school uniforms! If they want their original clothing back, they'll have to gamble for them, and hope they don't lose whatever clothing they've got left. The train will loop endlessly past the same station until sunrise, so hopefully they weren't planning on an early night's sleep.

In Little Edo, the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, and refugees will be encouraged to visit one of the many shrines populating the district to receive a Spring Blessing. Of course, it's just an ordinary fortune that happens to come on sakura-pink paper. But for the refugees, the power of Kizuna will cause whatever fortune they receive to come true. And these fortunes are distressingly specific, ranging from "Don't flirt with the cute girl at the tea shop, she'll break your heart and your wallet" to "That new restaurant you tried last night gave you food poisoning, hurry home!" Are the fortunes coming true, or are they somehow reading the future? How mysterious.

In Yoshiwara, it's spring cleaning season for the dorms! And not just any cleaning. It seems some residents have been complaining about strange laughter in the walls. As a professional comes in to flush out the cause, residents will be warned to keep an eye out for the tickle mehehe that will be trying to hide in closets and under futons. Sure, they're harmless. But unless they want to wake up with a furry new bedmate, they should consider grabbing a broom to help clean up.


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

Current characters will be allowed to upgrade their current magi-comms at no charge!

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.


Stamen And Pistil

Life in Tokyo is finally getting back to normal after the bizarre influx of ayakashi late last month, and just in time for cherry blossom season! All around the city, streets are lined with trees filled with pink blossoms, as shops begin selling special, limited edition items to ring in the new season, and the people break out the picnic baskets to drink beneath the blossoms.

But pretty flowers aren't there only thing that spring brings to mind. Spring is the season of love in Nippon, and as the new arrivals are sure to find out, that theme is something the people of Nippon take very seriously.

Hanami Happenings Little Edo, Tokyo
Those looking for a good way to spend their day and enjoy the nice spring weather should look no further than Little Edo, where most of the city's cherry blossom trees reside. Nearly every corner is painted bright pink from the colorful petals carpeting the landscape. And beneath the shade of these beautiful messengers of spring, it's customary in Nippon to hold gatherings with friends and enjoy drinks and merriment in a practice known as Hanami.

One of the largest parks in Little Edo, sitting at the foot of a rather beautiful shrine, is where most of the refugees will be invited to join a special Hanami being thrown by the people of Tokyo, to honor the refugees for saving the city last month. Large blankets are spread out beneath the trees, with free bentos, sakura-themed snacks and treats, and no shortage of tea and beer for anyone to come and drink. It seems even the officials are looking the other way should someone below the legal drinking age of 20 decide to take part.

In fact, one vendor seems particularly interested in having the refugees try their new sakuramochi-flavored beer. With a mild hint of cherry blossoms in every sip, it's the ideal way to enjoy the Hanami season. And unlike normal beer, with it comes a special property, as those who drink it will become more relaxed and friendly, creating a warmer atmosphere beneath the cherry blossom trees.

Towards the end of the day as the sun begins to set, a special ceremony takes place, where a new cherry blossom tree is planted in honor of the refugees. There, an official speaks on behalf of the emperor, who was unable to attend, but wished to extend his gratitude to the refugees. However, the moment the plant is in the ground, to the shock of the crowd around it, it spontaneously begins to grow before their very eyes, until it's become a fully grown and towering tree, bursting with pink blossoms. It'll be the talk of the town for the rest of the month, as the citizens come to see it as a sort of blessing of behalf of the refugees.

Flowers of Evil Little Edo, Tokyo
While the city has mostly returned to normal following last month's madness-inducing pollen incident, as it turns out, jubokko pollen has left a lingering effect on a number of the cherry blossom trees in Little Edo. These trees are easily identified by the red blossoms growing among the pink ones, their petals refusing to fall no matter how strong the wind blows.

However, unlike the jubokko's pollen, these petals carry a very different effect. Anyone who stands under the shade of these trees will feel an irresistible urge to confess something. Once enough confessions are made, the red petals will gradually wither and fall, removing all enchantments from the tree.

But even among these enchanted trees, there's one that's even more different from the others. While most people will only see an ordinary cherry blossom tree, those who are prone to feelings of bloodlust will see it for what it really is: a tree covered entirely in blood-red petals. Those who see its true form will be struck by feelings of inexplicable terror, and will be unable to explain why. Not even leaving the trees sight will calm then down -- but some comforting words or physical affection from someone they've bonded with will quickly calm them down.

Dick Festival Kanayama Shrine, Tokyo Outskirts
While most residents are celebrating the spring season under the cherry blossoms, a different sort of celebration is taking place at the Kanayama Shrine, located just outside of Tokyo on a tall, narrow hilltop that juts out of the flooded landscape. It's time for the annual Kanamara Matsuri, and all refugees will find themselves invited to the little island to see the festivities. And what sort of festival is it, you may ask?

Why, it's the Festival of the Steel Phallus! According to legend, there was once a plague of a type of ayakashi that was known to live in the genitals of humans, whose vicious bite caused the birthrate of a certain city to drop down to zero. To combat this, an afflicted young woman asked a blacksmith to forge a steel phallus in order to break the ayakashi's teeth, freeing her of the curse. It's said the original phallus remains enshrined in the innermost chambers-- and in honor of this most venerated dildo, a festival is held every spring to celebrate sexuality and fertility, all leading up to a procession in which a giant steel phallus is paraded around the island.

(And no, I didn't make this up.)

Refugees visiting the shrine will find no shortage of phallic-shaped foods and merchandise. Outside of the wide array of oddly shaped dildos to choose from, in terms of food, there are stalls selling lollipops, popsicles, sausages, grilled squid, octopus balls, cream-filled dick waffles-- but there's more at work here than a simple theme. Those who choose the popsicles will find themselves with a temporary oral fixation, causing an urge to have something between their lips at all times. Now, is this a naughty trick, or merely a marketing ploy to sell more popsicles? It's hard to say.

But the real treat is inside the shrine itself, where a single dildo stands tall among gilded offerings and flowers. The inner chamber is only ever put on display once every few years, and for good reason. Anyone whose eyes fall upon the majestic phallus will become overwhelmed with a desire to fill or be filled - which might just be why viewings are done in groups of two or more, the outer doors of the shrine closed behind them for privacy. There's a nice pile of pillows and no shortage of lubricating oils available, so why not get into the spirit of the season with a friend or two?



OOC Notes
Welcome to Jikan's April 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. 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.

• Feel free to get creative with what sort of gambling takes place in the Loop Line prompt. Gambling is otherwise illegal in Nippon, but is pretty common on Friday night Loop Line parties.

• Despite everything, Kanamaru Matsuri is considered an all-ages event!


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!

Venti | Genshin Impact

[personal profile] notgrande 2021-04-03 05:02 am (UTC)(link)
I. SAKURAMOCHI BEER

[ The Cherry Blossoms look beautiful. He's never really had a chance to see something quite like this. Free food? Yes, he's all about something like this. So he'll be eating here, picking up up snacks throughout the day. Of course, he is more than happy to see that there's also free alcohol here, so he's going to be spending the day indulging in that, as well. He can be found periodically revisiting vendors for refills on snacks and the beer.

But, the most exciting part for him is the Sakuramochi flavored beer that he hears a vendor talking about. So, he'll prop himself onto their table of goods, elbows first, and glancing up towards the vendor, who questions him for a moment, then offers him the cup. He takes a sip and looks...surprised. Impressed, even. He'll turn to someone nearby, whether or not they were intending to get this specialty beer or not and offer. ]


It is amazing, don't you think? I normally prefer wine. But this is impressive. You should try for yourself!


II. DICKS
[ He's pretty amused by this entire event, to be honest. He's never seen anything like it, and honestly he wants to see a bit of everything. He's well dressed and he feels pretty comfortable in his look. He wouldn't dare walk away from this festival without having at least tried a few of the treats. He's mostly interested in sweet items, so of course he's going to start with the dick waffles. After he pays for it, he takes a small bite - to taste it - out of it. ]

Oh - this is delicious!

[ He eyes the partially consumed dick waffle. ]

Have any recommendations for what I should try next?

[ It was inevitable that sooner or later Xiao was bound to run into Venti at some point but why was it HERE? He cleared his throat before approaching, stopping short when he saw the other take a bite out of that damnable waffle. It was too late to back out, either, so he just tried to pretend he wasn't embarrassed and play it cool. ]

I... see a lot of people with the popsicles but... I doubt you need to try it yourself.

[ He's certainly dressed in a familiar outfit that Venti should recognize as one he helped get for him. ]

Do we really need to be here?
notgrande: (Default)

[personal profile] notgrande 2021-04-06 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
[ You're here because you're lucky, Xiao. Venti seems utterly delighted by the food and drink and the party feeling all around. He likes parties, of course. And he wants Xiao to enjoy himself. So, when he sees the other, he lights up. Bright eyed and grinning and taking a smaller bite out of the waffle and speaking before he talks. ]

Oh~ [ he's playful, of course - as he looks Xiao up and down ] That looks even better on you out here.

[ He glances around. ]

Popsicles sounds really good. I wish you could enjoy them with me!
baneofallevil: (◤ for it to never be repeated ◢)

[personal profile] baneofallevil 2021-04-07 06:21 am (UTC)(link)
[ In his time here he had slowly started to learn what it was like to 'enjoy' himself, but mostly just because here he didn't have a duty. A job to fulfill. Maybe just 'bonding' with people WAS his job, so to speak. Who could say?

That didn't mean he took compliments from Venti any better than usual, crossing his arms over his chest and looking away. Maybe that would hide the soft blush on his pale cheeks or the faint glow of his tattoo under his right sleeve, both trying to call him out for what he didn't want to say or admit to out loud. ]


T-Thank you. It's... comfortable so I saw it fitting to wear it for this event.

[ Meaning a festival setting, more than anything else. Doesn't stop him from bristling a little at Venti's suggestion, however. ]

Ah... if that's truly what you wanted... I could try one but the shape is... not something... favorable.

[personal profile] notgrande 2021-04-16 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
[ There's an amused noise coming from Venti when he lets the remainder of that waffle settle on his bottom lip as he talks. He can see why it would bother people, he guesses, but it clearly doesn't bother him. He's entered full-teasing mode, of course. He smiles softly, and takes a few steps in towards Xiao. He lifts his free hand to rest it on the other's chest. ]

Only eat what you want, Xiao.

[ A playful tilt of the head and a wink. ]

The shape is just the shape. It's all about the flavor.

[ He takes the final bites of the waffle before he reaches for Xiao's arm and takes a few steps for popsicles. ]

And, well, I'm still going to have some.
baneofallevil: (◤ don't be dragged in ◢)

[personal profile] baneofallevil 2021-04-18 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
[ God he can't even look at Venti right now. Not when he looks WAY too suggestive with that waffle there like that. Had he been at home he never would have allowed himself to be this close to so many people, entertaining the idea of enjoying a festival as an adepti.

Where he would be on edge with someone moving closer to him, this time he didn't move until he felt Venti's hand on his chest. ]


I-- [ He sighed, shoulders falling a little. ] Is that so? I had assumed it to be sub-par with people focusing on it's... suggestive shape.

[ Nobody could say he wasn't honest, at least. This time, he'd even watched Venti finish the waffle AND let the other take his arm as he headed for the popsicles. Instincts told him he didn't wanna go along with this whole mess but here he was anyway, about to say something stupid. ]

Fine. I suppose I could try it as well, just so you aren't the only one trying it...
notgrande: (Default)

[personal profile] notgrande 2021-04-23 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
Suggestive shape.

[ He laughs, a small, happy laugh. He walks with Xiao towards the popsicle stand. He has known Xiao a long time. And he couldn't dream of being here without him, either. He likes having him by his side here. Someone who knows him for who he is fully, and someone who he trusts, too. While he's found he likes a lot of people - well, most people he meets - not one here will ever be quite the same to him as Xiao.

He disposes of the stick that the waffle was on - while walking towards the popsicles. He pauses at the booth, and lifts up his hand opposite Xiao. ]


Two please.

[ And then to Xiao. ]

All that matters is how it tastes.
baneofallevil: (◤ as we walk hand in hand ◢)

[personal profile] baneofallevil 2021-04-23 05:11 am (UTC)(link)
[ For as long as he's been here, just coming out and straight up saying what the shape was OF was not something he could bring himself to do. Even though he's certainly old enough to have several words for it, too.

That and now he's more preoccupied with just taking in Venti's features, happy and joyful. It has little Qingxin flowers blooming around him amidst some small sparkles, and a very distinct smile starting to tug at the edges of his lips now. ]


I suppose you have a point.

[ Xiao just hoped that he didn't have any regrets about this, watching the vendor as they fetched a couple of the very phallic popsicles. Part of him wondered what they thought, looking at them. Did they see two friends... or something else entirely?

No. It wasn't his place to entertain such things. ]


...I hope that it's worth it, then.

notgrande: (pic#14850237)

[personal profile] notgrande 2021-04-25 03:00 pm (UTC)(link)
You're sprouting flowers, you know?

[ Grin. ]

Hehe~ I promise that they will be worth it. What's the worst thing that could possibly happen?

[ He likes to tease Xiao, sure, but he does think it is worth it. He thinks it'll be worth it if it helps the other have a little bit of fun. He clearly didn't seem to mind what others thought about this, either. He was happy to be holding Xiao's hand. But, Venti's never really been bothered much about how people thought about him.
If he did, he certainly would behave differently. He paid the vendor, then took the first popsicle and passed it to Xiao before he'd take his own. ]


You're going to love it.

[ A hum. ]
baneofallevil: (◤ for it to never be repeated ◢)

[personal profile] baneofallevil 2021-04-26 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
[ Upon having it pointed out, Xiao blinked and brought his free hand up to wave it next to him to try and make the flowers disappear. Kizuna kept finding ways to pop up and it was a little infuriating. ]

Ah... sorry.

[ Xiao held his tongue when Venti asked that, aware that numerous things could happen and they were all things he shouldn't even remotely try to entertain. Though he felt as if he had no right to try and dampen the other's fun, not when he was sharing it with him.

Infact, he took his own popsicle without a single complaint. ]


You seem so sure of that. [ A small inhale, then exhaling as he straightened up a little. They were able to move away once Venti had his, but then? ] I... could try it first, then.
notgrande: (pic#14850529)

[personal profile] notgrande 2021-04-28 05:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He laughed a little at the apology. It's not necessary, but he won't correct Xiao for it because he's not bothered. He's playing along, and Venti is getting what he wants. So, he's pretty happy right now. He's not keen on letting go of the other. He steps in close, leaning a little against Xiao for a brief moment. ]

Try it, then. I hope this is something that gives you a good memory with food.

[ A broad grin. ]

I'm very confident, Xiao.
baneofallevil: (◤ darkness that stifles me ◢)

[personal profile] baneofallevil 2021-05-04 07:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[ The oh-so-casual way Venti had moved to lean against him - for just a moment - was enough to stop all his thoughts short in their tracks, heart doing all kinds of weird things in his chest. Was this a part of happiness or something else? ]

I... hope so.

[ Killing monsters of different shapes and sizes was something he could do, yet this gave him hesitation. It was so mundane to be bothered by it, so he took a deep breath and went ahead with this while being fully aware Venti was watching him.

Which to say, Xiao brought the popsicle up and drew his tongue up along it from the base of the popsicle up to the top of it to gauge the taste. Which was not entirely unpleasant and it's flavor was not bad as far as he could tell. ]

[ He turns as Setsura is in the process of leaning slightly forward from her place beside him and just off to the side, her head turned toward him as she regards him and only him in no uncertain terms. It was difficult to tell while he was propped on the table, but now that he's upright, she can definitely t -- tell.

As concerned as she had been with his height, she hadn't expected a glowing recommendation and it shows in how she very briefly pauses. ]


That good, hm?

[ Is this kid even old enough to drink? Her eyes slide very briefly to the vendor in double question. ]
notgrande: (Default)

[personal profile] notgrande 2021-04-06 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
Do I look like someone who would lie to you?

[ He would definitely lie to you. But - that being said, he does seem pretty sincere for him right now. At the very least, he'll always give an honest recommendation when it comes to alcohol. He winks, lifting the beer and taking a sip of it.

He enjoys the mild, almost fruity notes of the beer buried in it. ]
chichichi: (pic#14708149)

[personal profile] chichichi 2021-04-10 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
With a smile, yes.

[ The person drinking next to them spits their drink out outright into the face of the poor vendor. ]

But about this, I'm not so uncertain. Aren't you a little to be drinking?

[ Appearances can be deceiving, she knows, but really -- ]
notgrande: (Default)

[personal profile] notgrande 2021-04-16 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
Haha, you caught me!

[ He laughed at that. He is a bit of a liar, isn't he? He's never been shy about lying. He spent a long time hiding his identity at home, and he will continue to do it at home, too. But here, there's other gods from other worlds and there's no use denying who he is. ]

But I am probably one of the oldest people here. And besides, I'm one of their best customers.

[ Okay, so the alcohol is free. ]
chichichi: (Default)

[personal profile] chichichi 2021-04-16 09:12 pm (UTC)(link)
The alcohol is free.

[ Firstly. Secondly, and don't mind her concentrating her sixth sense on him because while he looks young, she knows better than to judge someone's age by their appearance alone after so many decades spent around various preternatural -- ]

How old are you, anyway?
notgrande: (Default)

[personal profile] notgrande 2021-04-20 05:54 am (UTC)(link)
[ He just laughed at that because yeah, he knows, but he's still mentioning it. He can drink a lot more than most people can. Well, that's a big perk of godhood, he supposes - at least with a human form. ]

Hmmm -- I lost count.

[ He still sounds like he's about to crack a joke. ]

I lost count at twenty-five...twenty-six...

[ Pause. He's counting out on his fingers to be a nuisance. And, after a moments he gets the anwser. ]

Hundred. Yeah, twenty-six hundred. Not that it matters. After awhile, numbers are just numbers. It doesn't really matter.

I do look a bit young. It can cause some problems, but I like it. I still get the things I want. I guess I could have picked something else, but this one is perfect for me.

II. Who can resist embarrassing dick prompts?

[New countries mean new types of celebrations. And Karma is trying to do his best when in Rome, with a hairpin to match, at least as far as attire. He was looking forward to the festival... Until he found out whatever this mess was. He's having a hard time bringing himself to trying any of the foods around here. How do you when in Rome this??? Karma's finding himself blushing like a schoolgirl.

And then there's Venti being happy as a clam to eat any and all of it. Karma can't help but look more than at least a little perturbed. His voice cracks when he answers, but is still feminine.

Why on earth would you eat anything like that in the first place?

no one should.

Because it tastes good!

[ The answer is fast and immediate as he purchases himself another dick waffle on a stick. He's not even slightly bothered by the imagery or suggestions of it. If anything, he finds the entire festival pretty hilarious. But, at his age, it's hard to be bothered by something as harmless as this. As long as everyone was having fun. Of course, he likes fairly chaotic festivals. ]

You should try one. Waffles are amazing here.
