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!

[J-pop? Naoto is so there. A tiny androgynous figure leaning against the wall in a blue hat, plaid pants, and a blue jacket is grinning at the music, humming along. She might not know that particular song, but she certainly knows the type of music.]

[averagestar]

[Then, would you like a glowstick? Because this girl is practically giving them away. After all, an idol concert needs people waving glowsticks around, right?

Yes, someone seems to have completely forgotten that this wasn't supposed to be a concert.]

[shiroganeheir]

[Naoto takes the glowstick with a smile.]

Thank you. This certainly makes things feel a bit more like home.

[averagestar]

Right? Even though I've never been here before, it's not bad to see what the local idols are like. They're pretty good here, too!

[shiroganeheir]

[Naoto laughs a bit. Idols are actually something she knows a bit about.]

Are you an idol where you are from?

[averagestar]

Ah, yes! I'm part of a three-person unit, and we're still pretty new, but it's lots of fun.

[shiroganeheir]

My best friend is an idol as well, actually. She quite enjoys it.

[Or she did before she burned out. And she was going to again. Naoto was certain of that.]

[averagestar]

Really? I'll have to listen to some of her music some time, then! I'll see if I can find some of her songs! Do you know what her stage name is?

[shiroganeheir]

She goes by Risette, actually. It's possible we're from different universes, but...

[Naoto starts humming one of Rise's songs, eventually lapsing into words. She's actually quite good. After a moment, she blushes.]

Er, sorry. I'm no idol.

[averagestar]

No no, that was pretty good! You have a great singing voice!
