TDM #5
TEST DRIVE & SIMULATION #5
▶ 001. ARRIVAL / CAFETERIA.
It happens in the blink of an eye -- a dash of time. You're taken from where you were. What you were doing.. it isn't important anymore, and slowly, you give up to desire your normal life. When you awake, figures are looking down on you from a surgical table.
"Yeah, this one will do; let's take them to the rest," That's all you see before losing consciousness again, only to wake up in a pod with many others.
"Your questions will be answered soon enough as I'm sure you will have many," a female, robotic voice says.
Just then, your pod opens in a dim corridor with many others. Your new life is about to begin... whether you like it or not.
The pods drain their stasis fluid which wakens each Outsider. When Outsiders emerge from their pod in only their undergarments which have been supplied to them and head to a locker room in the medical bay, to find a towel to dry off with, a set of gray loungewear to wear as LILITH makes the final decision in organizing the Outsider to their rightful teams. If a character has any accessibility needs, they will be found here. It's about then they will feel a sharp pain at the back of their eyes, almost like there’s a foreign body lodged on the inside of their head. This pain will subside quickly as their body adapts to the changes, but there will always be a sensation of something being not quite right. That their bodies have been changed forever. They would be correct in thinking that. In the pod, all Outsiders have been surgically fitted with ocular and brain implants that will enable them to communicate with LILITH and the rest of the crew, and feed them the information they require. Almost like a computer screen has been loaded into their brains, they will see a loading screen as the implant completes its download. A questionnaire will then pop up, waiting for their answer. A voice, robotic and feminine, will also read along in their brain for them.
█ █ █ LOADING COMPLETE … BEGIN ORIENTATION …
The system will give Outsiders one chance to provide a truthful answer and choose their username and civilian identity. Should they refuse to cooperate, the implant will download the answer directly from their brain (and give them a username or civilian name against their will). This questionnaire will then be posted on the network for all to view and reply to. Almost like an ice-breaker, if you will. LILITH wants all their newest recruits to learn about each other!
Outsiders will receive a quick brief about their situation: They will be told that the year is 2278, and they have been taken to Neo Tokyo, one of the last bastions of mankind in a world terrorized by various Kaiju and monsters. Only a third of the population remains, and LILITH has gathered talented people from other dimensions here as a last ditch effort to save humanity. Outsiders are free to continue asking LILITH questions through their implant, but there’s no guarantee they will provide them with a straight answer …
Outsiders will also notice an implant in their dominant wrist. This implant has a barcode in it that will enable them to purchase goods from the local stores in Neo Tokyo. They will receive a starting balance of 10,000 KRYPTOS (about USD 66), which is barely enough for a few good meals, groceries and supplies. They can view their current balance through a hologram window projected by their ocular implant.
While there would normally be a meal available for them in the cafeteria, this doesn’t seem to be the case this time. Robots working within the cafeteria will instead be handing out food ration bars to each Outsider. They are dense with calories and nutrition, but taste a bit like sawdust.
That familiar, robotic voice is heard again:

"Greetings, my name is SYNTHIA and I will be taking care of you today while the rest of the crew is busy handling a recent issue. Worry not, my children. You are in safe hands."
▶ 002. THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME.
Existing Outsiders will receive a call to report to the data portal within Las Vegas. They’ve done their parts helping to take down the worm kaiju and assisting with the clean up of the city. LILITH’s army of cleaner drones can take the rest from here. It’s been a physically and emotionally draining mission for everyone, and it’s time to head home. The beaming back to Neo Tokyo will go rather smoothly for the most part (and yes, holding someone’s hand through it still helps), but upon arrival, Outsiders might be struck with a splitting headache, nausea and vertigo. They might need an hour or so to recuperate, which they can do in their rooms or the sick bay.
New and fresh Outsiders will be given the task to take care of their seniors as they recuperate. Make sure they have water and food (even if it’s terrible ration bars). Give them a massage, or cheer them up because they’ve had such a difficult mission! It’s a great way to build bonds and get to know your teammates. Ask them what happened in Vegas! They’ll be more than happy to tell you.

They’ll be more than happy to tell you.
▶ 003. TOO HOT TO HANDLE.
One thing Outsiders will notice immediately upon stepping foot in the Neo Tokyo base is that it is hot. Did someone forget to turn on the air conditioning? The rest of Neo Tokyo doesn’t seem to be any better. With summer approaching, the city has been hit with a heatwave, and it doesn’t help that the heat is interfering with the city’s power generators. This means that not only is it hot, but notices are popping up within everyone’s implants to be mindful of how much electricity they are using. Blackouts appear to be happening all over the base and the city. Electricity is being rationed, and when residents exceed it, it’s cut off.
This is having a devastating impact on the people of Neo Tokyo. The fact that it’s hot and there isn’t much air conditioning is one thing. Hospitals are also struggling from an influx of patients being admitted due to heat stroke, dehydration and severe sunburns. Fires are breaking out more often in the heat and this is only making things worse.
On top of it all, restaurants and stores have been greatly impacted by the electricity rations. Refrigerators and freezers are not working, so food storage is a problem and fresh ingredients are going bad. Restaurants are desperate to sell off what remains of their stock before it spoils. LILITH has been giving out food ration bars and non-perishable meals (such as canned food) and it’s been keeping the people from starving, but their subpar taste doesn’t seem to help the morale one bit.
While LILITH knows that older Outsiders have just had a difficult mission, there’s no choice but to activate them once again. A mission brief will pop up in everyone’s implants:
While things aren’t looking too great, the Neo Tokyo Meteorological Agency is promising that temperatures will go down when the rainy season comes along. There hasn’t been much rain recently, however …

█ █ █ MISSION OBJECTIVE:
✖Contain heat-wave related fires and conduct rescue operations
✖Assist hospitals to care for the influx of patients while they may not have the power to use their medical equipment
✖Distribute water and food rations to citizens in need
✖Assist restaurants and supermarkets to salvage their food supplies as far as possible
While things aren’t looking too great, the Neo Tokyo Meteorological Agency is promising that temperatures will go down when the rainy season comes along. There hasn’t been much rain recently, however …
▶ 004. WELCOME TO OKINAWA.
After a few days of continued efforts to support the people of Neo Tokyo, things seem to have calmed down. LILITH has fired up some backup generators that are able to power the hospital and essential services, most of the fires have been contained, and the hospital has been able to get its patient load under control. LILITH has stepped in to further support the city, with their drones working hard to hand out supplies and provide medical aid. Restaurants continue to struggle, but nobody is starving, and LILITH is working hard to get the power back in operation.
On July 5th, there is a message from Captain Yamakawa:
Departure is set at 1100hrs, and Outsiders will be provided a water bottle and some sunscreen. Once they step through the data portal, they will be met with soft sand, the hot sun, and clear, beautiful waves - Welcome to Okinawa! Specifically, Outsiders will find themselves in Emerald Beach. While the water is pristine, the first thing Outsiders might notice is that there are unnaturally large coconut crabs all over the shoreline; with the majority of them the size of a large dog, and the largest of them about the size of a car.
Nearby to the beach, there are many abandoned fruit farms (such as watermelon, dragon fruits, mango and pineapples) that may have fresh produce for Outsiders to harvest. With how the rift changes the environment, some of these fruits have grown humongous in size. On top of that, the water appears to be cleaner than that found in Tokyo Bay. There are fish still swimming in it, and while some of these fish appear to have mutated, they do not appear inedible.
This is probably what Captain Yamakawa means by ‘supplies’.
On July 5th, there is a message from Captain Yamakawa:
“My Angels of LILITH. You may be at ease now. Our dedicated staff will take over from here. It’s been a difficult month for us all. To show appreciation for your efforts, we have organized a company trip to allow you the appropriate rest and relaxation. We do ask that you gather some supplies since food is short in Neo Tokyo, but that should be an easy task for our talented workforce. Please report to the data portals for departure at once."

WEAKNESS: Poor eyesight and hearing. Helpless if you tie them up. Becomes stunned with a knock to the head.
EXTRA NOTES: Apparently very delicious.
█ █ █ MISSION OBJECTIVE:
✖ Hunt and capture coconut crabs. Alive is preferable for the best quality meat.

▶ 005. THIS IS A VACATION WE PROMISE.
“Are they seriously making you guys work on your vacation?! This is why we can’t leave everything up to that stiff-ass commander. This should be our beach episode! Don’t worry, your daddy Seok Dang’s got you. Take a crab, take whatever you want, have a damn barbeque! Lie on the beach until your tan comes in. Get nude! Let’s get this party started!”
(LILITH would highly discourage anyone from actually taking off their clothes.) Following Seok Dang’s message, outsiders will notice a pop-up appearing in their eyes, prompting them to accept an outfit upgrade. If accepted, they will find themselves in beach-appropriate attire (player’s choice) using LILITH’s Style Upgrade technology.
Despite Seok Dang’s bid for a party, Outsiders will have to make their own fun in this abandoned beach. They are free to do as they like, whether it’s having a swim, lying in the sand, playing a game of volleyball with an old ball that happens to be lying around, or cracking open a watermelon to share. He does try to encourage things along by sending a few gifts. Through the data portal, several drones will emerge and drop off portable grills, boomboxes, and alcohol from his private stash. For some reason he’s also unleashed a robot that is insistent on challenging Outsiders to a watermelon slicing competition. It looks like he’s serious about this beach episode …
Outsiders may travel between Okinawa and Neo Tokyo throughout the few days using the data portals. There are no resorts in operation in Okinawa, but should they choose to stay near the beach, they may set up a camp or sleep in an abandoned house or hotel.
▶ 006. AFTERWORD.
Welcome to our fifth TDM! All TDM threads are game canon; characters who don't app will be glitched out of this world. As TDM will act as the event, existing characters are heavily encouraged to participate. We encourage this format for top levels: CHARACTER | CANON | CURRENT / NEW CHARACTER. '
There are currently 13 available player slots. New players are welcome to use this TDM to get samples for when APPLICATIONS open.

TDM #5 BREAKDOWN/RECAP (CLICK TO EXPAND)
1. ARRIVAL PROMPT: Newcomers arrive with ocular and brain implants and told a breakdown of the premise with an icebreaker orientation to fill out. Their first cafeteria meal is food ration bars. Newcomers are placed in gray loungewear while they are being sorted into teams.
2. THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME: Senior Outsiders return from Las Vegas via the data portal and will experience side effects such as dizziness, nausea and headaches. Newer Outsiders are tasked with taking care of their senpai.
3. TOO HOT TO HANDLE: There is a heatwave and that's messed up the power grid, leading to a city-wide electricity ration. Hospitals are struggling, fires are breaking out and black outs are happening all over the city. Restaurants are struggling to store their food so there there is a shortage of fresh food. Outsiders are tasked with assisting the hospitals, containing any fires, distributing rations to citizens and assisting restaurants to salvage their supplies.
4. WELCOME TO OKINAWA: With the chaos in the city now under control, LILITH has sent all Outsiders on a vacation to a beach in Okinawa. The caveat is that they will need to gather food supplies. These supplies come in the form of a coconut crab kaiju, fresh fruit and fish.
5. THIS IS A VACATION WE PROMISE: Seok Dang is eager to get this beach party starter. He's updated the implants, allowing all Outsiders to swap into beach-appropriate attire using LILITH's Style Upgrade technology. He's airdropped portable grills, music players and alcohol for Outsiders to enjoy. There is also a robot challenging people to watermelon slicing competitions. Outsiders can do whatever they want to relax at the beach.

Origin: Aquvy
What is your darkest fear?
Letting others get killed because of my powerlessness.
No Place Like Home
[It's too bad Billy hadn't been kidnapped here earlier. He is sure he could've helped with the battle. But since he wasn't, he'll try to do what he can for now.
Glancing around, he'll approach anyone who looks injured or unwell. While he's not a doctor of Citan's caliber and he doesn't have the technology of the Etone facilities, he can at least use ether to do some field medicine.]
Too Hot To Handle
[Billy's pale face is flushed from the heat, and his hair is slicked down with sweat, but he still has his clothing set to turtleneck, long sleeves, and pants, covering every inch of him other than his hands and head.
Delivering ration bars and water has been a hot and pretty thankless task, though Billy has maintained a polite smile throughout the deliveries. The moment the alert comes in about a fire, though, he rushes away from the task, so anyone who was there with him could probably guess that it was starting to wear on his nerves.
Running to the burning building, Billy looks around for any other Outsiders on the scene.]
Are you going in?
[If so, he'll raise his hands and murmur some quick words. A Water Shield will surround you, offering some protection from fire (but also leaving you rather soaked, sorry).]
Okinawa: Feeling Crabby
[Once again, Billy' attire reflects the beachy atmosphere not at all. He has made zero concessions to the heat. He actually seems perfectly comfortable strolling up and down sandy beaches in his cowboy boots, and when he spots the crabs, he gives a slight chuckle.]
No ration bars tonight.
[He draws his twin pistols from his waist holster, and after giving a quick glance around like the responsible teen he is to make sure no bystanders are in the line of fire, he picks his target and takes aim.]
Okinawa: Vacation? Sounds Fake But Ok...
[Billy arrives to the 'party' with several crabs and fish, all with at least one neat bullet hole through them, and offers them up at the nearest grill for cooking up.
And then... he just sort of stands there, not knowing what to do with himself. There are games and music... for someone who indulges in such things. The assignment is relaxation, and it is one Billy is entirely unfamiliar with. Help?]

<s>How do you do, fellow teen?</s>
So after a moment's hesitation, he nods to the other boy.]
Thank you. That smells really good.
[He accepts the plate and looks around to find a couple of chairs where they can sit.]
I'm Billy. I'm new here.
They're both not great at it
I've been here since the first group arrived, over seven months ago now. I can spot a new face.
[He looks out over the crowd of Outsiders enjoying themselves, old and new faces alike.]
There are some great people here. Kind. Don't be afraid to approach them, as overwhelming as it all is.
[He spent most of their opening ice breaker party hiding in a pillow fort, so he gets it.]
no subject
They don't mind that they got dragged here?
[He isn't sure if that's a taboo topic or not, but this guy seems like he won't hold it against Billy even if it is.]
no subject
I don't think it's that they mind. Most people mind. But we're all in this strange boat together. A team. I think most people want to help. Even if it's just so they can get back home.
[He's a little different, but that's okay. His plan is to stay if they're ever lucky enough to finish with the kaiju.]

Okinawa: Vacation
[ Comes a voice from nearby. Yzak is sitting in a lounge chair beneath an umbrella with a drink and a book opened up in his lap. ]
If you're going to just stand there with the sun beating down on you like that.
no subject
Sunscreen?
[Great, is he doing vacation the worst anyone has ever done? He lives on an island back home, and the sun hasn't been bad enough of a problem that a healing spell couldn't fix. He looks around to see see if he sees the aforementioned 'screens'.]
no subject
[ He arches an eyebrow, but shows no further skepticism than that. He has been here long enough that he knows many of his teammates come from ... vastly different places. ]
It's lotion you're supposed to put on your skin, to ensure you don't burn.
no subject
[Billy still isn't ready to shed any layers, but he's more than happy to put this sunscreen on what little skin is exposed.
He looks at the man under the umbrella.]
Do you not have any? If there's an item shop around, I'll trade in a crab and see if I can get some, so you can come out from under there.
Too Hot To Handle
You got a better idea?
[The answer is "no" and he knows it. Bakugo raises one arm to partially block his eyes from the heat before his other hand moves in front of him, as if readying something. Only to jerk back when something swarms around him. Water?! He twitches his head, momentarily starting from the surprise, but quickly susses out Billy as the source.]
Don't just soak people, dammit! [That said-] Focus on putting out the fires!
[He's not an idiot. Taking advantage of the shield, Bakugo charges forward, shoving his hand forward before a dull KABWOOMSH!! explodes outward and knocks the front door in as he vanishes inside.]
no subject
Billy quickly unhooks his gun holster and sets it on the ground so that the bullets don't explode straight into his side. Then he casts the same water shield on himself and follows the other Outsider inside.]
Wait up! My ether doesn't work like that. [He doesn't want the other boy to think he can summon up jets of water willy-nilly and he just isn't smart enough to use it that way.
He looks around inside the building, struggling to see through the smoke. He's not sure how he's supposed to put out a fire.]
Can you see anyone inside?
no subject
He was not expecting the other guy to follow him inside. Bakugo stops in the hallway only briefly when he hears that call, glaring over his shoulder where he sees the Outsider coming in through the broken door.]
What're you doing?! Get out! It's dangerous! [Bakugo's a hero, he's trained in search and rescue! As far as he knows, this Outsider is just a civilian with some water powers. Granted, the kid's shielding himself as well, so...] Not yet. Stay away from the windows and keep low!
[He doesn't have time to argue with this guy. Instead, he turns and shouts into the house.] HEY! ANYONE HERE! YELL IF YOU'RE ALIVE!!
no subject
The other guy seems like he knows what he's doing, though, so Billy doesn't argue further. He ducks down, and listens. Through the crackling of the fire and the commotion outside, he thinks he hears coughing down one hallway.]
That way! [Keeping in a crouch, Billy follows the noise. He may not be a hero, but he can still try to help if someone is hurt.]
no subject
[He's going to have to trust this guy does indeed know what he's doing, or else Bakugo's going to murder him the second he drops his rescued butt on the grass. The sound of that cough quickly gets him in gear and he moves forward, staying in front of Billy and kicking open the doors on either side of the hallway. Hopefully this water shield is regenerating because the heat in this place is either going to start evaporating it or boiling it...
The upstairs floor groans slightly, but the stairway hasn't been touched yet. He shoulders open another door, not wanting to touch the knob in this heat.]
Oy! [Two shapes huddled together in the middle of the room, covered by what looks like a blanket.] What the hell are you doing in here?! [Do these people hiding under a blanket's going to help?!] Get over here!
[Even as he's heading towards them.]
