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!

[Hyrup, that's... awfully close there. Nagi instinctively backs away a half-step even as that High Pixie huffs at the hand reaching out for her.]

Hey, you better back off there! It's rude to just go around poking at others you know.

[connivingbird]

[There is an actual eye in the palm of that hand with a kind of wing set along the back and talons at the end of the fingers. It certainly wasn't normal even as it twitches and the blond pulls back a little.]

So? I asked a question and you aren't answering it.

[conjecture_this]

[Yeah, that's... unique.]

Well you could have asked a little more nicely before you started pointing that around!

[Nagi herself sighs a bit.]

Pixie...

[connivingbird]

Tch.

[The blond twitches again, half turning away from her and addresses the air.] I am being nice. [A snort and his hand clenched before he straightens up and pulls back just a little.]

At least I didn't grab you.

[conjecture_this]

I'd like to see you try!

[By this point Nagi herself simply adds:]

She's a demon.

[connivingbird]

A demon. [By all accounts, demons didn't actually exist in his knowledge. Most of the stuff humans talked about were the residues from Yummies and fellow Greeeds. Demons like how some humans speak of them were just figments of their over-heated minds.]

That doesn't seem right... I never heard of such before. [He's going to ignore the comment about catching the little creature. He knows he can because that was how he was after all.]

[conjecture_this]

Not even in mythology?

[Him not hearing about real demons wasn't much of a surprise after all.]

[connivingbird]

Humans always talk about demons, but I've found most of those to be Yummies.

[He gives an arrogant flip of his head, his strange arm making a gesture towards the rest of the people around them. Nope there's no love let alone liking towards a majority of humanity although he has changed a little.]

Although... Some stories do predate them.

[conjecture_this]

What are Yummies precisely then?

[Most demons fit neatly into categories after all. Perhaps what he viewed as a Yummie she viewed as a demon type.]

[connivingbird]

Beings created by the power of a human's greed.

[Well, technically that is. He wasn't going to explain that he and his fellow Greeeds need to seed such a creature for one to truly manifest properly. That would just make more trouble for him if this person was some kind of Rider.]

If the greed grows too much, they come out and feed that greed until they burst.

[conjecture_this]

I see.

[With that explanation in mind, Nagi gives her head a gentle shake.]

She is nothing like that then.
