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!

"...What, I ain't wet enough already?"

Seriously, Naoto. Just... seriously.

She just shrugs. "I was simply attempting to get your attention, Kanji."

Or maybe she's teasing him, but for now, she's standing on the beach, holding the squirt gun.
very_elaborate: (sweet!)

"Yeah, yeah. You gonna come in or not?"

At least here he can actually help if Naoto gets off-balance. You know, without panicking about the local deities. Stupid goddamn island.

Islands. Whatever.
shiroganeheir: (awe)

"As long as you make sure I don't get washed away." She puts the squirt gun down on a blanket that has a couple books and carefully walks out to him.

She's a bit unsteady, and more than a bit nervous. "Er, is this the moment to say I don't know how to swim?"
very_elaborate: (gentle giant)

[personal profile] very_elaborate 2015-06-05 05:51 am (UTC)(link)
"Hey, you'll be fine. Swimming's easier than skiin', anyway. Hang onto me and I'll talk you through it."

He wasn't intending to go out very far anyway. He just... badly needed a cool-down after the last couple weeks.
shiroganeheir: (uncertain)

[personal profile] shiroganeheir 2015-06-05 06:01 am (UTC)(link)
"Are you certain? Because everyone said that skiing was easy, and all I did then was just fall down. I really don't want to drown."

She reaches out and clutches his hand, steadying herself.
very_elaborate: ([naoto] scoop up)

[personal profile] very_elaborate 2015-06-05 06:02 am (UTC)(link)
"I ain't gonna let you wash away, Naoto. Trust me. And if you don't wanna take your feet off the ground, then don't. 's that simple."

It is easier than skiing, though. Ain't like he's saying Naoto should start with surfing or anything.
shiroganeheir: (surprise)

"I have always trusted you, Kanji." She takes a deep breath, and stands closer to him, letting the water move around her.

"It's an odd feeling.... Oh!" She jumps a little, clinging to him as some sort of sea creature moves by her leg.

... it's probably actually seaweed.
very_elaborate: (sweet!)

[personal profile] very_elaborate 2015-06-05 06:54 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yeah, you'll get used to it - what? Oh, that was just seaweed, nothin' to worry about."

A swell comes up - not big enough to call a wave, but definitely enough to bob them both around a little, passing just below Naoto's shoulder height.
