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!

Oh, cool, so it's not as weird as it sounds, even though it really is.

[billionerd]

If I told you I accidentally miniaturized myself, would you believe me?

[keymash]

Yeah, I'd buy that. I live in New York, weird things happen.

[billionerd]

Well, I did that.

[keymash]

Soooo are you saying this is some kind of microverse orrrr you have no sense of direction when you're tiny?

[billionerd]

No, I turned back sense. And I got a gps, I know I didn't get lost.

[keymash]

Then I guess the microverse is out.

[billionerd]

A computer turned into a map when the guy from the past approached me.

[keymash]

What? How?

[billionerd]

No idea, it just did.

[keymash]

So you have no idea?

[billionerd]

I figure if we're not the only displaced people around here, we can figure out what's going on.

[keymash]

I don't think finding that out will take too long.

[billionerd]

Do you have a phone on you?

[keymash]

Er, yeah, right here.

[ holds it up ]

[billionerd]

[unfastens his ~PLAMERTECH WATCH~ and offers it to him]

Here, trade with me.

[keymash]

[ he suddenly pulls it back ]

I. I can't.

[billionerd]

Fine, don't trade. Just take the watch.

[keymash]

Are you sure? It's nothing personal, I just -- I can't give up this phone.

[billionerd]

It's alright, I just want to see if anything happens to it.

[keymash]

[ he's still hesitant but he takes the watch. Which switches into a normal watch ]

[billionerd]

... okay... that's a pattern.

[keymash]

Maybe there's some kind of temporal field around us, because we're time-displaced.

[billionerd]

But that watch didn't exist in 2012, it should have disappeared not changed.

[keymash]

It's still a watch.
