TEST DRIVE

Game Navigation

Prompt 1: Amnesia

[ You woke up, all your memories having vacated you. Well, that sucks. But hey, no time like the present to go out and figure out things. Maybe someone in your smartphone contacts knows you or what's going on. You open up your smartphone's lock screen and-- hey, that looks relevant. Profile pages! It has your unit name, member names, but no pictures. . .

Well, the rest varies. This one says Likes: Industrial Strength cleaning products, Breakbeat hardcore, Volleyball shorts and Dislikes: Roombas, Electro-industrial, Maid Outfits. The next has a thrilling tale that concludes with the idol mud-wrestling God, though it doesn't mention if they won or not. The third says that the member became an idol because they want to use the television and media attention to get the notice of their long lost sister, and reunite their family. The fourth just has someone's three sizes. The fifth has a detailed astrological profile.

Since no one remembers their names and there's no pictures to match it to, this is actually less helpful than you hoped. And furthermore, the doors aren't opening until you and the rest of the amnesiacs on this unit tell it who is who. Looks like you and the rest of these people have to discuss which of you is more likely to have mud-wrestled god, and who joined because they really want to find their long-lost sister. Or you can just use the tape-measure that was left sitting on the main table of the center room, that might be a quick way to settle at least one of these things. ]

Prompt 2: Memory Regain
[ You saved up your points, performing in Games or Lives or Vids, something or other until you had enough points to put the order in.

You didn't really know how to expect a memory to look like, but as it turns out there's just an alert on your app. Once you click it, a playback starts-- on the screen, and in your mind. You remember something now.

However, in buying the cheap version, that just broadcasted to several other people's phones in the area as well as all screens in the area. Cool. That was definitely what you were trying to do. ]

Prompt 3: Game Time
[ Welcome to the Game Tower. Today's game is a sort of mad fake phantom thief free-for-all. You arrived, were given top hats and cloaks, and the inside floor of the tower had been remodeled to resemble an art museum, with a giant roulette wheel right by the elevator you exited. Below that was a little slot, where today's hologram host explained the wheel would spit out a slip with a goal just for you.

So you have a little slip of paper with a goal on it, and no way of knowing what anyone else's goals are, though you did see the big roulette wheel being spun at the beginning letting you know the some of the possibilities:
♚Steal a heart
♚Steal a life
♚Steal an object
♚Steal a kiss
♚Steal someone's clothes
♚Steal someone's shoes
♚Steal a secret
♚Steal the giant statue from the center of the museum
♚Steal the portrait that depicts your true love

...well, waiting around isn't going to get you any points. Get to it, temporary phantom thief! ]

Prompts 4: Fanmail
[ Today, trying to take the elevators up from the lobby to access the apartments you and the other units live in just isn't working. Upon the doors being pried open, you found out why quickly: the elevator shaft was jammed up with fan mail, so it couldn't properly descend. Letters cascades out from between the open doors: letters from people who watch you play games, do lives, make vids, and probably all sorts of other things on those omnipresent cameras.

Are you really going to read these? Though right at your feet, a few have spilled from their envelopes. Now you can't help but read those. Here's one in purple glitter pen that says, jesus just come into my home and strangle me with your hair and one that is written with newspaper cut out letters (alarmingly reminiscent of a calling card written by a serial killer) that reads incongruently hello my soft best child ur good and valid and I love you forever plz be ok don't listen 2 the haterz u have done nothing wrong. Oh, and here's one asking if you can wear tighter pants for your next live, they want a better shot of your ass for their shrine. This one just says MARRIED?

Well, it's just as well you have no idea who those were for. Most this fanmail isn't for you. Except for the few that you just read, they're all labeled in envelopes for different people from all the units. Time to read other people's fanmail. Or try and find them and deliver the fanmail. Or just start a big fire in the middle of the lobby, you could do that too. ]

Dude. That's kinda fucked up.

Y'know, it's kinda messed that you're so used to this shit, too.

How long's 'a while'...?

[Something tells him he's not gonna like the answer to this question]

Re: 3

[personal profile] crossmyheartandhope 2019-05-02 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
Some... time...?

Like... couple of months, maybe?

[Time is hard, okay.]

[personal profile] gigadevilbreaker 2019-05-02 12:48 am (UTC)(link)
You're telling me I'm stuck doing reality TV for the next couple'a months? That sucks.

Re: 3

[personal profile] crossmyheartandhope 2019-05-02 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
Reality tv, huh.

Your team, uh. They give you the rundown on this place?

Re: 3

[personal profile] gigadevilbreaker 2019-05-02 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
Nah, they more or less dicked off. [Team, what team. Who knows.]

...Guess you're 'bout to tell me some of the fine print I missed out on?
crossmyheartandhope: (If you are afraid come forth)

Re: 3

[personal profile] crossmyheartandhope 2019-05-02 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
Hit me up after the game, dude. Some of it I shouldn't say here.

The important thing though, is you don't wanna throw a game. Trust me. You better play at least the minimum, every time, no exceptions.
gigadevilbreaker: (What are you saying)

Re: 3

[personal profile] gigadevilbreaker 2019-05-02 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
That's why you're so willing to play ball?

... [That had to mean it was something really bad. Not very reassuring. But like. This guy seemed like a pretty decent guy, and he must've been through a lot of shit already.

...Ah, man. Well, he's snapping the buttons off his uniform.]
crossmyheartandhope: (Call it your 2.0)

Re: 3

[personal profile] crossmyheartandhope 2019-05-02 03:01 am (UTC)(link)
[Blinks - and then kicks his boots off so he can step out of his pants. It's cool, his boxer briefs look pretty much like biker shorts, anyway.]

[He holds the pants out.]

Doesn't hurt to go hard in the dumb ones, right? Stuff like this is easy mode.
gigadevilbreaker: (All I needed to hear)

Re: 3

[personal profile] gigadevilbreaker 2019-05-02 05:07 am (UTC)(link)
...I think I get what you mean. Guess I'll pick your brain after the game's over, then.

[In his own awkward way, he was trying to find a way to say, thanks, I owe you.

Oh but: still got that prosthetic leg? The young man takes note of that.]

Hey, looks like we kinda match. [Flicks the buttons over to Hurricane with his robot hand]
crossmyheartandhope: (I'm like a loser)

[personal profile] crossmyheartandhope 2019-05-02 05:16 am (UTC)(link)
[Catches them and goes to stick them in his pocket - remembers he doesn't have one right now.]

Right? Must be going around.
gigadevilbreaker: (What are you saying)

Re: 3

[personal profile] gigadevilbreaker 2019-05-02 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
You don't remember how you lost it, do you?

[A beat, before he realizes that's a pretty private question to ask someone you just met. Then again, the blond's been pretty open with answering stuff? He still scratches the back of his neck though] Ah, is that insensitive?
crossmyheartandhope: (Just to find a home)

Re: 3

[personal profile] crossmyheartandhope 2019-05-02 05:28 am (UTC)(link)
Nah, 's cool. It was from before this place, and I still dunno how I lost it, anyway.
gigadevilbreaker: (Mmnnnmnnn)

Re: 3

[personal profile] gigadevilbreaker 2019-05-02 05:47 am (UTC)(link)
So... is that buyin' back memories thing a scam, then?

[Or maybe not everyone obsesses over how they lost a limb, Nero]

[personal profile] crossmyheartandhope 2019-05-02 05:52 am (UTC)(link)
Just haven't hit the jackpot yet, I guess.

You don't get to pick em, and they don't come in any kinda order.

Re: 3

[personal profile] gigadevilbreaker 2019-05-02 06:05 am (UTC)(link)
[Frustrated huff!] Well that's kinda bullshit.

[How can you be so nonchalant about it??] Doesn't that piss you off, though? Not knowing?
crossmyheartandhope: (Just shine a light into the wreckage)

Re: 3

[personal profile] crossmyheartandhope 2019-05-02 05:30 pm (UTC)(link)
You got no idea, dude.

But, like - when you hit a bad one, kinda makes you wanna take a break for a while. Dunno if I could be like the guys who slam eleven in a row.
gigadevilbreaker: (Show off)

Re: 3

[personal profile] gigadevilbreaker 2019-05-02 05:31 pm (UTC)(link)
What? That seems like the best way to do it!

Just shoot'em back, [He mimics downing a tequila shot] and get it all in one go.
crossmyheartandhope: (I'm like a loser)

Re: 3

[personal profile] crossmyheartandhope 2019-05-02 05:32 pm (UTC)(link)
You too, huh? Well, more power to you.

[personal profile] gigadevilbreaker 2019-05-02 05:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Not knowing seems worse than a memory hangover. I mean, I wanna know who I am.

[How bad could it be?]
Edited 2019-05-02 17:40 (UTC)
crossmyheartandhope: (If you are awake come out)

Re: 3

[personal profile] crossmyheartandhope 2019-05-02 05:49 pm (UTC)(link)
That I got, more or less. Just missing a couple of the details, is all.

Re: 3

[personal profile] gigadevilbreaker 2019-05-02 06:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Wow, good for you.

[Came out more bitter than he meant it to. He's still got nothing, so it's kinda hard to feel congratulatory right now - even if this guy seems like a good dude.]
crossmyheartandhope: (Just shine a light into the wreckage)

Re: 3

[personal profile] crossmyheartandhope 2019-05-02 06:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah - sorry, dude.

You'll get there soon, though. Memories aren't even super pricey or nothing.
