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!

... How confusing.

[fridgeninja]

You get the hang of it.

[conjecture_this]

Do you train for it or...

[Oh!]

Forgive me, I'm asking too many questions.

[She doesn't precisely want to grill the poor guy like she had done Raidou in the beginning. Instead her Pixie pipes up with her own question.]

Are you going to go play in the ocean?

[fridgeninja]

It's all right. I didn't train beforehand, but I did train once I developed this power... but actually, I was going to go hot-tubbing.

[conjecture_this]

... Hot-tubbing?

[fridgeninja]

Yes. My house came with me, and it's got a hot-tub.

[conjecture_this]

[She blinks a few times at that. There's a few facts wrapped into that statement that she needs to think of in short order.]

Your house came with you...?

[... Was his house a demon?]

[fridgeninja]

That's right! I woke up, and the front yard was somewhere else.

Past the back yard was somewhere else, too, but I couldn't see over the fence.

[conjecture_this]

That must have been a strange experience.

[fridgeninja]

I'd say it's the third-strangest thing that's ever happened to me.

[conjecture_this]

[... Dare she ask on the first two?]

What were the first two then?

[Ah, beaten to it.]

[fridgeninja]

Sticking my head through a TV, and waking up naked and collared when I'd been kidnapped by a goddess.

[He's smiling mildly as he says it, bald-faced and blunt, without any regard for just how crazy it sounds.]

[conjecture_this]

[... He says it so casually that somehow Nagi's the one standing here looking vaguely guilty over ... what exactly.]

... Oh.

[The Pixie meanwhile is definitely at attention now.]

Eeeeh. Those both sound like some serious situations!

[fridgeninja]

They were.

[But he doesn't exactly sound bothered about them, either.]

[conjecture_this]

[There's a long beat of silence before Nagi seems to realize something.]

Forgive me, I've been distracting you.

[He was going home, yes? So she best leave him to that. With a bow she adds:]

Thank you for the information though, Souji-san. It was very... educational.

[Yeah, even the part about sticking heads through TVs. ... Maybe she ought to ask him to detail that more some other time. If there is another time, that is.]

[fridgeninja]

Ah... of course.

Being in this place at all was a surprise, but... I hope we'll see each other again.

[conjecture_this]

I'm sure we will. Dimensions rarely invite Summoners within unless there is a reason for it. Whatever Coba might wish for me, I doubt the process is finished.

[With that and a final bow she goes to continue on down the boardwalk as her Pixie keeps right on talking.]

Let's go shopping! This is too good of a chance to pass up!
