TEST DRIVE MEME (4)
Your character wakes up in a neat bedroom in their team carriage, in nondescript underwear. They might be missing their memories, or their special abilities, or they may just feel a little queasy. Next to them is what seems to be a smartphone, which they know how to use even if they never had before, even if they don't know if they have before. On the screen is a simple message:
Welcome aboard the Aurora!★ One
You have been selected by the Star Prince as a potential hero, tasked with saving the universe from Malice. As a passenger I, your Construct and Conductor, will attempt to provide you with quality lodgings and safety. In return, we ask that you join your fellows in making bonds and doing your utmost to bring joy back to the Stars.
Due to the process of restoring your body, you may find some things are missing. We apologise for the inconvenience and hope to return them to you as soon as possible. Thank you for your cooperation.
Upon investigation, you'll find some basic clothes matching your team's theme in the storage provided in your room. Or, perhaps, you're wandering out of the room still undressed. Either way, downstairs you'll find someone has left a tray of cups of hot tea on the living room table. Drinking it may be simply pleasant, or it may cause you to feel a sudden need to warm up to the others in your carriage -- emotionally or physically. Welcome to the team, newbie!
☆ Two
Shortly after your arrival, you find yourself wrapped up in some monster NPC's Game. You're inside what appears to be a stone temple, with a massive golden scale on one wall. Suddenly, on one side, a heavy metal weight is dropped. As the scales tip out of balance, the floor begins to slowly disappear, brick by brick, ready to drop you -- and whoever is with you -- into an abyss. Your only hope comes in the form of an inscription on the altar:
How much do your secrets weigh?Every secret you tell causes a weight to fall onto the other side of the scale. The bigger the secret, the bigger the weight. If you can collectively tip the scales, the floor will quit dropping bricks and a door will appear to allow you back to the train. If you can't, you'll fall, seemingly forever, til you pass out. When you wake up you'll find yourself unable to lie.
★ Three
You've been in aurora for awhile -- long enough to have recovered a memory/power or two, if you lost any. And it's lucky for you: today, the area around the train has been surrounded in a strange mist that makes you feel dizzy and overly warm. Left alone, your condition will slowly degrade, with increasing lethargy and shortness of breath until you lose consciousness. The cure is easy enough, though -- touch another person and they'll see one of your memories, experiencing it as if it's their own. The effect is mutual -- you now have a piece of eachother, and you're safe from the illness... at least until you take another big breath. Good thing there's no mist inside the train!
☆ Four
Wildcard. Make up your own prompt! Check out the setting and team pages for info on the train. If you have any questions, ask on the q&a page. Otherwise, apps open on February 8! In the meantime you're free to join us on Discord.

OH!
You aren't his boyfriend or anything, are you? I mean we just met, I can't go stepping on toes immediately. I'm such a homewrecker, ahhh...
no subject
I've known him all of like, two days. Don't worry about it.
no subject
[He knows. Sure. He's gotta know.]
So you know the other one though? He told me he remembers not having a twin, but I don't remember anything, so I've got to believe him, right? I mean, he doesn't even have horns!
no subject
Well, before we get into any of that, we should probably get out of the weird mist.
no subject
The dizziness. [Maybe it was making him a bit loopy. He almost forgot? Is that normal? Probably not.]
...Inside, then. Let's uh. Let's mosey.

no subject
God, it's killing my head.
no subject
[reaches out to pat his shoulder once they're safely inside, and bam!
it's not a particularly interesting memory, by any means. it's Aria in a bubble bath in a gigantic tub in the most spectacularly decked out and gilded bathroom you've likely ever seen, sipping expensive champagne from a champagne flute. the radio is on playing top hits, and Aria is feeling ridiculously relaxed, sighing with contentment.]
no subject
Bad news- Aria is stuck with a memory of Akira's.
Akira is in a cage, curled up in a fetal position, looking injured. He's holding his stomach and the room is soaked in his blood, but he's not moving, not getting up or fighting it. It's less that he seems resigned to his fate and more that he doesn't seem to understand it, and when footsteps can be heard coming down the concrete hallway, he begins to growl.
Like an injured animal, he tries to pull himself up, but his torso is torn up, and so he ends up on his knees baring his teeth to the shadow of a man at his cell door.]
Oohhh! Ritzy~ I wish I had a bath like that.

no subject
Mh. Well, what... did it look like? [He knows which one it was, he just. Doesn't super like talking about it. Time to be cagey.]
no subject
no subject
Well. Yeah.
I guess I was kind of an animal at the time. So of course that's how they'd cage me.
