TESTDRIVE #1

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!

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!

[ Joining him on the boardwalk is one gender ambiguous personified concept of death, that's cool right. They're going to just look over his shoulder, to read the coupons along with him. ]

Thrifty.

[ It's not quite mocking, but not exactly kind either. ]
breakrecord: (Quit DOING that!)

[He's way to absorbed in reading to have noticed anyone sneak up on him, so he jolts, coupons dropping from his hands.]

Gah! Don't DO that--

[Oh, wait, it's a stranger. It'd be rude to yell. Wait, what did they say?]

--Er, sorry. Startled me there! I guess I was too wrapped up in all these exciting deals.
adversavvy: (terra)

[personal profile] adversavvy 2015-06-05 06:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Sorry, sorry, didn't mean to startle you.

[ They hold up their hands, sort of placatingly. ]

Exciting deals? Tell me more.

[ And, because they're nice, stooping to pick up some of the dropped coupons. ]
breakrecord: (I bet she's freaky.)

[thank you, stranger, for the assistance. He collects and straightens the coupons still remaining in his hand.]

Oh, you know, free hotel stays, restaurant discounts, buy one get one, and...

[He also picks up one of the fallen coupons, turning it over to read what it says]

...free rides on a mechanical dolphin?

. . . well, I've never done that before. It could be . . .fun.

[ They're not really sure about that. Surely real dolphins are better?

Either way, they hand over the coupons they collected. ]


Are you broke?
breakrecord: (You mad?)

[personal profile] breakrecord 2015-06-06 10:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[He takes the coupons with a distracted nod of thanks. He's still a little hung up on the idea of a mechanical dolphin. What would it be like? Would be safe for water? Or would it be one of those coin operated rides for small children in front of stores? What if it was a submarine? Too many unknowns; he'll definitely have to redeem the coupon later just to get some answers.]

I'm not broke, but I don't have a lot on me, either. These coupons came with a pamphlet I got when I entered the city. They'll come in handy if I do decide to stay here!

It seems like a nice place to stay, doesn't it? Really friendly like.
breakrecord: (This is funny.)

[personal profile] breakrecord 2015-06-08 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
Almost too friendly. I keep expecting there to be some hidden fine print for all of this!
