Test Drive Meme #6
I want neither revenge nor relief.
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.


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 brilliant green forest across the sand. Beyond that, the glint of a faraway city.
BATTLE WITH D.E.S.T.I.N.Y.
November has barely begun, when chaos strikes again[2]. Perhaps you've had weeks to settle in, finding yourself a new home and getting accustomed to the neighborhoods... or maybe you've had no time at all. Your daemon warns you of a massive invasion coming from the West, the ocean where you first arrived.

When the violence makes land, it's shockingly similar to the exit from your original world, yet mashed in with the experiences and genres and world details of other refugees— soldiers in red armor wielding weapons of all kinds, both advanced and rudimentary; airships, bizarre monsters; firestorms and quakes that seem sentient in the way that they move, pursuing people through the beach and the forest. You see the injured and the dead, and people running in panic. Heat and gunfire break up the ordinary peace of wilderness, driving animals into stampedes and filling the sky with panicking birds.
There are children and doctors and engineers among the many refugees of Xistentia, and not everyone can fight back— but maybe you're one of those who can.
Think fast— that's a crimson spear launching at your head now.



The city's defenses are buckling too. While ordinarily, the civlization possesses unnatural physics that subvert violence, the onslaught starts to wear agains them. The only safe place is the Temple. Here, civilians and injured combatants are banding together to try and boost morale... which coincidentally also can boost the defenses of the land by with the energy collected from emotional connectivity. For better or worse, there is plenty of negative feeling to go around, the air thick with fear.
Whether you're recovering from injury or afraid to fight, you can still contribute here. Tell a story, sing a song, make a meal out of one of the cookfires started in the hallway, or even help with medicine. One thing is for certain: we're in this together.
NETWORK
Today, it's peace time. By now, the city of Xistentia has a population of over 500 people. Shops line the streets of downtown, and increasingly well-trodden paths will take you into the agricultural zones nearer to the forest or even down to the beach. There are still distinctive animal presences around— careful with that— but the most common critters you'll see are birds crapping on your stuff outside and tiny winged hairless people creeping your food.
One afternoon, you are taken from whatever you’re doing - taking a walk through the city, sunning yourself on the beach, running around in the forest shoring up defenses - by a message, appearing on your Daemon’s network screen. It’s a simple notification, that reads:
It would appear that your daemon accidentally sent a text message misfire.

Ann Takamaki | Persona 5 | OTA
[Ann has seen a lot of monsters in the last year, both the ones that look like them on the outside and the kind who look human but are even more disgusting on the inside, so the sight of the red soldiers doesn't scare her. Some of them even look like Shadows, kind of.
What scares her is what they're doing. Even when her world was falling apart thanks to that dumbass giant cup, the Shadows hadn't been attacking people. They'd made them happy to be slaves or made them vanish, but they hadn't...hadn't…
She squashes down that fear as much as she can, the fear that belonged to the helpless puppet she tries not to be anymore, charging down the beach with a fierceness she doesn't quite feel. Not without the others here to give her strength. She hasn't tried to draw Carmen to her since she arrived, not knowing if her other self can come out in this place, but she has to try.
She stands right in front of a line of those red-armored creatures, taking a heavy breath before holding out her hands, hoping for the first time that in a moment her sweatshirt and leggings will be replaced with that ridiculous latex suit]
Come to me, Carmen.
[it's only breathed; she doesn't mean to scare the creatures off with just words. Because if this works, something much more terrifying should do the job.
She feels herself enveloped in that strange flame, feels the mask back on her face and the long whip in her hand. That's a relief, but not as much as the sensation of the large woman-shaped being rising up behind her, almost giggling as it whispers in Ann's mind]
We will avenge them
[Ann doesn't need to ask who Carmen means--the bodies both laying silent on the ground and running screaming around them. She's sure the sight of her with her whip and machine gun and the glowing being behind her won't help their fear, but they will understand when she's saved them]
Yes. [she says, simply, before running down the beach at the nearest red-armored being] Go, Carmen! [this is said much more joyfully, as she lets the Persona throw out a ball of flame, hoping it will do something. Sorry, any already scared people who haven't seen much like this yet, a teenager in a red latex catsuit with a big giant fire throwing lady can't be helping your nerves]

Daken | Marvel Comics 616
[He woke up like he had so many times with the distinct, but familiar, feeling that his body had taken some kind of massive damage. His clothing and bits of debris around him only reinforced the distant echo of injuries. As usual, he was completely uninjured, not a scratch, not a bruise, nothing.
This place didn't smell at all familiar and that, more than anything else, had him immediately on edge. The people around him, other survivors it looked like, were people he'd never met before. He knew that with complete certainty.
Gracefully, he got to his feet and took a moment to brush sand off his somewhat tattered pants and shirt and then run a hand through his hair.
Time to figure out what the hell was going on.]
battle+temple.
[Daken was good in a fight. Very good. In fact, most days he wondered if it was the only thing he was good at. Killing was in his DNA and these creatures felt familiar. His memory was spotty, but he knew they were somewhat responsible for... everything. And now they'd shown up to finish the job. He was prepared to make that as difficult as he could for them.
Unfortunately, not everyone is quite so good and he can't help but sigh as he came across yet another injured fighter, or maybe just an unlucky civilian. They're unconscious, but he can hear a pulse and there's a lull in the fighting. It might also benefit him to endear himself to the locals, so he throws the man over his shoulder and heads to the temple, which seems to be the central place of refuge within the city.]
Medic! [At first, quick glance he doesn't look so great himself. Some of the blood is his own, most isn't, but a closer inspection will reveal no injuries. The man he's rescued, however, will need some attention, but doesn't look critical.]
network/daemon shenanigans.
List your available commands again. Can't I make you not speak unless spoken to? [Daken grumbled at his daemon, a wolverine named IRONYD. He hated it. Everything about it was basically there to mock him. He was sure of it.] Don't look at me like that either. If I want your opinion or your judgments I'll ask you for it.
DAEMON: IRONYD
I want your opinions.
[He glances down when the notification pops up.] ... What message? I didn't tell you to send any message. [He inhales deeply and sighs, muttering under his breath.] You're the worst.

taako ☂ the adventure zone
[Cool, sure, it's fucking battle city in the forest, that's fine, he can totally work with that and isn't at all about the lose his godamn shit because he's a single wizard without any back up. That's not at all how this is supposed to go, but Taako luckily is adaptable, even if his internal monologue is just a whole lot of cussing and complaining.
All he has is a wand, but that's all he really needs to fuck some shit up. At one point, thick black tentacles rise from the ground amongst the trees, grabbing the soldiers that Taako lured down that way, battering them against each other until they stop moving. Other times there's lightning arcing across soldiers, or fireballs burning them up. He's still not entirely sure about this whole thing, but that doesn't mean he can't pick who the bad guy is, and fuck them up.
Downside: he's also dressed in red, though his is a simple robe over his regular clothes and the ensemble features a wizard hat rather than some kind of armored helm, but he's still a little way about someone mistaking him for an enemy.
(Not enough to take off the robe, of course. He doesn't want to lose it, not when it's a good way for the rest of the IPRE to immediately spot him.)]
☂ temple
Alright thugs, move outta the way, Taako's here to save the day from whatever the fuck you're burning over there.
[He's in the process of not so gently ushering someone away from one of the cooking fires, taking their spot instead as he surveys the supplies in front of him.
It's, well, it's not the greatest, but he's used to working around limits like this and all he has to do is draw out his wand and start casting. Whatever he can't find at hand is transmuted from pre-existing ingredients, usually nothing too dramatic, but he does turn a handful of leaves into a few cloves of garlic because there's some things he refuses to cook without. Whatever he's making smells amazing, whether it's something wrapped and set in the fires or cooked in a pan. At some point he even whips up a cobbler, baked in a pot, because nothing cheers people up like dessert.
His daemon, shaped like a mongoose, sits comfortably on his shoulder during the process, occasionally scampering off to fetch Taako something, though he doesn't need that much assistance.
Whenever someone approaches, he greets them with a simple:]
Grab a plate, sit your ass down, and let cha boy change your life.
[He's a bit smug.]

Kenny McCormick || South Park || OTA
It had all gone down hill so fast and all because of the New Kid. He farted them into the future and then he failed to take them back. Whatever the New Kid did, it tore the entire world apart. The ground shook and split open, tornadoes raged across Colorado, and fires raged throughout the entire town of South Park. Mysterion was sure it wasn't just the small quiet town that was suffering. It was the entire world. The fabric of space and time was tearing itself apart in front of his eyes. He ran through the burning streets, watching scenes rewind in front of him, people die only to rewind and come back to life to die the same way again seconds later. It was hell. The world had gone to hell.
Mysterion had to get home. He had to get to Karen. He couldn't think of protecting anyone else or fixing this if he couldn't get to her. He ran through the park and across the tracks. He could see his house now. He felt the ground shake and nearly stumbled. He jumped over a fissure as it ripped the ground open. He could feel every fiber of his being pulled and torn as he reached for the door. He threw it open only to fall forward into a swirling abyss. He tried to reach for the door but it was already disappearing from his view.
He fell and he fell, his body twisting and turning as he did. He closed his eyes tight, trying to ignore the pain and torment running through his body. Mysterion could hear something roaring all around him. It was blaring in his head, as if the noise was coming from inside his skull. He cried out but suddenly something cold and salty filled his mouth.
The kid hero's eyes snapped opened and he was underwater. He spun as another wave hit him. Everything spun and he didn't know up from down. Why was he underwater? When did he fall in? He kicked, trying desperately to break through the surface. He needed air. Water was in his mouth and he couldn't spit it out. He kept kicking even as yet another wave hit him and sent him spiraling again. His lunges burned until finally he felt his head break through to the surface. He spit out the water and looked around. He swam toward the sand, using the waves to propel him forward.
He touched sand and crawled onto the beach. He sucked in oxygen as he attempted to catch his breath. He didn't know what was happening but he could figure that out after he filled his body with oxygen and waited for the world to stop spinning.
"Fuck...everything," he groaned to himself.
Network
[After he arrived and made his way off the beach and into the city, he found his daemon. A rat he renamed Bastard after he realized there had to be a d at the end. He played with the rat until he figured out how to send a text.]

haneul moon | oc | ota
[he's glad he skipped breakfast this morning, there's enough of a mess on the beach already. but that doesn't stop his body from trying, dry heaves bringing him to his hands and knees in the sand.
haneul pulls the collar of his shirt up over his nose and mouth once the retching stops. normally he likes the smell of the ocean, but the burning wreckage sort of ruins it. he's amazed that the air isn't polluted with the smell of burning bodies on top of it. he lets his shirt fall and stares at the chaos for a few seconds longer.]
How is no one dead?
temple:
Would you like to see a magic trick?
[because haneul is not a fighter and wasted no time in getting himself injured. fortunately it isn't serious - guiding his own soul could've been awkward. but as promised, prepare to be amazed as he holds up his hands and proceeds to remove his own thumb. he totally doesn't just have one thumb bent. definitely not the oldest trick in the book. but maybe it was enough to get someone's mind off of the violence for...three seconds.]
See? Magic.
