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!

If I knew what was going on, don't you think I'd have already explained it?

[counteracting]

So what is your name, then? [Since he seems to know more about her or is confusing her for someone else.]

[bloodymess]

Damon Salvatore.

[maybe it's the weird city's fault. Minus points for that]

[counteracting]

And Stefan is? [Because he was the one who mentioned the name.]

[bloodymess]

My little brother. [a pause, and he decides to leave out the "and your ex" part, for now, and goes with something a little less . . . whatever] You two are are - were - pretty close.

[counteracting]

...Like friends close or I dated him close. Because there's a big difference between the two. [...Although that's really bad taste on her part. Going from one brother to the other?

Not likely.]

[bloodymess]

Dated. [you asked, Elena]

[counteracting]

...And then I dated you or apparently am dating you?

And you're both just...fine with this?

[bloodymess]

It's a long and complicated story that I'd need a whole bottle of bourbon to explain. But to spoil the ending, he's fine with it now. Has been fine with it.

[counteracting]

[...Considering the mention of centuries, she's pretty sure she doesn't want to know. ]

..I need another drink.

[bloodymess]

Well, when you get one, it's your turn for story time.

[he wants to know what the hell is going on]

[counteracting]

What exactly do you want to know? [Once she's back with her drink. ]

[bloodymess]

Everything?

[counteracting]

Not much to tell. I'm a high school student who lives in California.

You?

[bloodymess]

I'm—. . . California?

Not Mystic Falls?

[counteracting]

Yeah, California. Place called Beacon Hills.

Never heard of Mystic Falls.

[bloodymess]

Never heard of Beacon Hills.

What the hell?
