TESTDRIVE #1

[cobamods]

There's a number of ways it could happen, but regardless you find yourself standing on the outskirts of a city. A beautiful city, as familiar to you as any from your world, with all manner of buildings within sight. A sign on the side of the road greets you, saying WELCOME TO COBA You're already part of the family! It's practically inviting you to step into the city limits. Why don't you? As soon as you do, you'll find a pamphlet in your hand, almost eager to tell you all about what this mysterious Coba has to offer. And eager seems to be the impression you get about almost everything - the sun seems to brighten, the flowers seem to perk up - it's almost as if everything about Coba is welcoming you as an honored guest. And you are. Though hopefully, only temporarily. Coba would love nothing more for you to become an honored member of her precious community. Welcome to Coba, visitor, and we hope you enjoy your stay! PREMISE | RULES | FAQ & QUESTIONS | RESERVES | APPLICATIONS Please read the FAQ before commenting! ♥ Welcome to the City of Coba Testdrive! Your character has found themselves in Coba, and are welcome to do any of the following: ● As you enter the city, you hear some bustle about a homecoming party! Following the signs will find yourself at a plaza with food, drink and live music, of all sorts and types. Why don't you stay awhile and indulge? ● Or, if you're not the party type, maybe you'd like to check out the city's cultural center! There's art, books, and other things to keep your mind occupied. And, maybe you'll meet other like-minded people there. ● Not in the mood for any of the above? There's always the beach! It's a lovely day, the waves are beautiful and the stores along the boardwalk all have signs up that read "TAKE WHAT YOU NEED". Maybe you need a surf board. ● Or maybe you have something else you want to do? Go for it! You're more than welcome to come up with your own prompts. In addition to the above, we would love to encourage anyone taking part in the testdrive to world build with us! Whether it be a street name or an entire neighborhood, whatever you come up with will become part of the game's canon. All we ask is that you pop over here to link us so we can see what you've done! Finally, ENJOY YOURSELVES. Seriously, this is meant to be a laid back, enjoyable game. We welcome any questions, critiques, and ideas, so always feel welcome to approach us about any and everything. We hope you decide to stay here in Coba!

[onetailed]

I can be.

[...Not really.]

[andps]

Uh huh. [he totally believes her]

[onetailed]

...Maybe not so much.

I do go to parties, or I would...if I hadn't just transferred schools...

[andps]

Oh, ouch. That makes it a little rough.

[he nods towards the exit] They probably aren't like that, at least? I mean, this one doesn't exactly give off the high school or college party vibe.

[onetailed]

Yeah, they really weren't.

At least not at my old school.

[andps]

They weren't like this when I was in high school either.

[onetailed]

Where'd you go to school?

I was in California before I ended up here.

[andps]

Out in the middle of nowhere, midwest.

But before I ended up here I was in New Orleans.

[onetailed]

I've never been that far east, although I do want to go there one day.

New Orleans I mean, not..the middle of nowhere.

[andps]

Yeah, you definitely want to pass on middle of nowhere. But New Orleans is pretty cool, for the most part. You should go if you ever get a chance.

Just, uh . . . avoid the french quarter at night.

[onetailed]

[The warning has her glancing at him again.]

Bad experience?

[andps]

Something like that.

[onetailed]

I'll remember that. [Although it'd be another three to five years before she even had a chance for a trip like that anyway.]

Thanks.

[andps]

No problem.

[onetailed]

So, um...

[...words, Kira, use them.]

Maybe we'll see each other around the city?

[andps]

We might, yeah. If you're up for it, maybe we can hang out somewhere that isn't a library.

[onetailed]

Yeah, that might be fun.

I think I saw something about a beach...

[andps]

Yeah, I saw it on the map. Man, I haven't been to the beach in forever.

[onetailed]

We could walk over and at least take a look.

I've never been to one not in California.

[andps]

If you're game for it, I am.

[new friend plus avoiding the party? Of course he's game]
