Test Drive Meme #8

I believe in the death of tomorrow

CRASH LANDING

Exit one dimension, enter the next. It was chaos: pressure against your ears, light bending in an impossible, unimaginable way. The very molecules of your body vibrating against one another. If you have windows, the view outside makes no sense. Even if not, your hands, your face, your feet seem like an uncertain thing. It's the feel of reality itself tearing apart, reshaping, reconnecting, thread by thread.

And suddenly, there's a beach— or ocean, whichever you land in. Smoke. Fire. Salt water churning up, fizzing around, almost at odds with the layer of thick snow over everything.

Maybe you crash, in a ship wrecking into sand. Maybe you merely stumble out of a portal, a ragged wormhole in space. Or maybe you fall off the back of an incredible steed, some creature that carried you into this place. Either way, there's pandemonium around you. Incredibly, severe injuries are far and few between— nobody's screaming about the dead. But you might have to help pull someone free of wreckage, or move quickly to salvage burning belongings from the landing craft. Maybe it's the crafts themselves, that you're trying to salvage.

Likely, you don't know them, these other strangers who arrived here^[1]. Maybe you don't trust them— you just came out of a dying world, after all. But you all have one thing in common: you're here now.

When you get a second to breathe, maybe you'll see it. The snowy forest across the sand. Beyond that, the glint of a faraway city.

Dinner with a Succubus (NSFW)

Your first dinner party in Xistentia^[2] is a sumptuous and luxurious dinner that takes place at the private residence of one of the natives.

As you step in, the first thing you notice is the scent of indigenous flowers mingled with the floating traces of savory and sweet from the elaborate buffet set up on the side. Treats from around the Multiverse.

However, sectioned off from these public areas, there are spaces reserved for sexual activity. It's not so surprising, when you remember that the lights outisde, the power behind the city itself, runs off human emotional interaction— and desire is a powerful emotion indeed. These rooms feature every conceivable surface you might want to tangle on, from silk to lacquered desks, to rubber.

Chests hold sundry toys and other equipment. Rooms have beds sized comfortably from anywhere from one to five people, and there are peepholes. Everything is marked with painted symbols in a language that is known to no one person, but somehow universally comprehensible.

NETWORK

Xistentia now has its own 'friending app.' You can use it to make connections with new people! But beware, your daemon may well post without your permission, and things could get pretty embarrassing.

F.A.T.E.S. thought it was a pretty good pun: Synchr. Get it? Like sinker? Hook, line, and?

hells yeah

Footnotes

Some of these can be nameless, plot-device NPCs to facilitate interactions! But even in this case, please avoid gore in describing their current state of being. Anyone dead or catastrophically injured will have disappeared by the time your characters make it to Xistentia. There are no corpses or dying here.
If you decide to join the game, this party may be patched over into the sex-themed Gala detailed in the announcement. The IC log is already up, but friends-locked!

Beautiful and humble? A rare combination.

[ It was charming on Rafa, though it surprised him. Why would such a glorious creature feel the need to have suxh an unnecessary trait such as humility? ]

I want nothing more than to take you in my arms, and whisper so much praise into your ear that you would become convinced of your splendor. I have known you for only a few minutes and I already see it. Perhaps this is why I have no one, Rafa, because all of my life I was waiting for you.

[ Perhaps the most frightening thing about Ignacio is that he appeared completely serious. ]

[ Rafa gazes at him for a moment.

He's never found it easy to accept compliments, even from people whose word he never questions. It always seems false, somehow, like they're trying to flatter him, or simply ignorant of the things that make him unattractive. Or both. Probably both.

It's even harder when it comes from someone he's literally just met, someone who's spoken with him only briefly. He smiles and looks down, searching for the right words. Then he lifts his head and touches a gentle hand to Ignacio's cheek. ]

You like how I look, I can tell. What more than that could you have possibly seen? You do not know my mind, my heart, or any of the things I do not like about myself. Learn them, and then tell me again, and perhaps I will believe you.

[ He says that, doubting it will happen. He drops his hand and lifts the glass again, taking another drink. Then he shrugs. ]

On the other hand, if all of this is in aid of taking me to one of those beds, we can do that. It is what this place is for, after all.

I wish to learn more, Rafa, but I would be lying if I said I did not feel an instant connection with you. It was as though I had been standing still for thousands of years, then I saw you and everything began to move. I have learned to listen to my instincts, they have never guided me wrong.

[ He spoke with passion in his eyes, his voice strong but still low an intimate- as if he couldn't bear the idea of anyone else overhearing their conversation. Not in the sense that he was ashamed of his feelings, more that they were reserved for Rafa and only Rafa. ]

As much as I desire to take you to a bed, I will refrain. I would not take you in the home of a stranger. I would have you in my lair once it is established, and make love to you until we cannot bear to move any longer.

[ Ignacio felt very territorial and protective, he couldn't trust this place and he wouldn't put Rafa in any danger. ]

May I call for you in the near future? Would you come if I did?

[ And he planned to send him many roses in an attempt to woo him in the meantime... ]

[ Rafa looks at him, thoughtful. Perhaps he's sincere after all, even if it seems difficult to believe.

Well, there is one way to find out. Rafa nods. ]

I would. My daemon is called Kyd; yours can find me that way.

[ His daemon, incidentally, is not here tonight. Rafa tries not to think of it as a real creature, knowing as he does that it's a machine, but it's a very lifelike one. He can't quite bring himself to let it follow him to an orgy. ]

I live in a small farmhouse with my two husbands, close to the forest. It would not be difficult to find if you wished to come there.

I will remember this.

[ He nodded in acknowledgement of the location of Rafa's home, and would soon take him up on that offer- after inviting Rafa to his own dwelling first, of course. As enamored as he was, he did not live to his age to be lured to the lairs of others without getting to know them better first.

Patience was key to his life, so he would satisfy himself with just talking for now- or allow Rafa to enjoy the evening as he wished while he mingled with others, his thoughts constantly returning to the beautiful Italian.

Ah, love at first sight... ]
