{ GAME OPENING LOG }



✵ GAME OPENING LOG ✵
Normally our TDMs serve as intro logs, but we have prepared a special character intro log for game opening! It is a massive, chaotic feast that can only be found in a dreamworld like Songerein. You can also use this to continue ongoing TDM threads, especially as it nears captcha. Reminder that any thread from the TDM can be carried over. Players are also welcome to make their own logs for things if they would rather skip this part. Be sure to read the Mod Announcement for other information and you can ask any questions regarding the log here.


I. THE FEAST

As the sleepy looking sun begins to set, the small little tapir fairies will buzz around to find all the new inhabitants and usher them to the plaza. There everyone will find several tables of various lengths, sizes, and shapes. Yes, that is a star shaped table along with a moon one. A special feast has been made just for them to welcome and celebrate their arrival. Some may even recognize decorations: leaves mottled and changing to an assortment of colors, festive streamers, popcorn strings, glittering garlands and bows, string lanterns, and maybe a few small gravestones here and there. Some areas might look a bit brown and withered while some of the trees take on a more cherry blossom look. It's a bit of a strange mashup, and yet the chaos seems to have a sense of harmony as well—especially when considering everything else that the feast has to offer. This is one divine feast that is going to be completely topsy turvy.

A. What's Your Sign? Everyone will find themselves mysteriously "tagged" with a special sticker and will suddenly gain special characteristics based off the animal: ears, tails, behavioral traits. They're mostly mild and to add flavor, but they may also feel different compatibility towards another, such as more attracted or opposed. The sticker will be hard to remove, but it is possible to swap with someone if they want to try a different experience.

B. Special Bowls. There are many tables and anyone can sit wherever they want. Just don't forget to pick up the special dinner bowl already personalized with their name on it. Of course there are some extra paints and decorations that can be added to it if one desires.

C. Wild Food. Every table has the same kind of food, and there is plenty to go around. Of course, that's only if the food can be caught and if one can keep an appetite for some of them. The boar's head is a bit talkative and might settle down if someone stuffs an apple in its mouth or tells it a joke. However, it might just get several laughs by the barrel of monkeys funnel cake nearby, monkey shaped pastries hiding within it to chuck out various candies and fruits. Not even the candy is safe, at least not the stringed ones. Licorice, chocolate coated taffy, and others will start slithering around and even hiss, sometimes wrapping around the arm of those who try to eat them. Playing some music might calm these sweet serpents so they can be eaten properly. How about that special carousel cake stand with the horse cookies prancing about?

D. Spice Up Your Li—Meal. However fear not. There is normal food around so it is possible to have a proper meal. However, some helpful little dragons may fly by to add a few herbs and spices to the dishes. They are quite friendly and will listen to requests, however if one is rude or too demanding, they may just dump a bunch of a hot pepper and other unsavory seasoning instead. Make a good enough impression and they might make house calls, even follow someone home. They live to spice up food, after all.

E. Drink Tea. Although there is an assortment of beverages, the prevalent one will be tea. They are similar to the ones found in the cafe and all will help bring out festive dreams and restful sleep later for everyone. However, someone is clearly making mischief as they have slipped in some rodentia tea. Drinking it will cause the drinker to shrink to the size of a rat. The only way to return to normal is to find the elusive cat cookies, which can be strangely hard to find; they seem to vanish and reappear at random, but only the ones with wide grins and “Eat Me” written on them can be eaten.



II. FUN & GAMES

Perhaps the food isn't up to one's tastes, or they just would rather have some fun. There are a few games around the plaza that everyone is welcome to participate in and they are encouraged to play to their heart's content. Just beware of the geese as they are being a menace not only at the tables but disrupting games as well.

A. Playing Chicken. A simple game, really, one that will test one's creativity and taste buds. There is a goat cheese fondue fountain surrounded with various platters of cooked chicken: grilled, steamed, boiled, baked, fried. This fondue fountain, however, is special. The flavor of the fondue can be altered depending on the kinds of emotions near it. Joy and love make it sugary sweet, anger and jealousy spicy hot, despair and distrust salty sour. And of course everything in-between including a chaotic mix. The challenge is one person will try and alter the flavor of the fondue, lather it on a piece of chicken, and then hand it to their opponent. The chicken must then be consumed. If not, the one who "cooked" it wins. If it is consumed, then the second person can now do the same to the other. This continues until one forfeits. It should be noted that the emotions of the one eating can also affect the fondue. (It is of course possible to take either the fondue or chicken without playing this stomach churning game.)

B. Gravity of Luck. There is a special wheel lottery set on a table decorated with rabbits. In fact there are a lot of rabbits congregating here and would love a few carrots. Anyone is free to spin the wheel one time per round to determine what kind of special "gravity" effect they receive. Each time the wheel is spun, a ball will drop and the color will indicate the type. A gold ball will cause them to lose all sense of gravity, their bodies starting to float away and although they can fly and float around, they'll need help being tethered down. White balls allow them to jump higher, small mushrooms appearing at their feet so others can follow. A black ball will cause them to be stuck in place, even fall flat all the way to the ground and need help standing up. Those imbued with the power of the different balls can help balance each other out until the effect wears off in half an hour.

C. Ox Go-Kart. For those who really want some speed and action, there are ox driven carts stationed by various streets. Two people can partner up with one driving and the other serving to help try to slow the other cart down. In this race, all non-lethal, non-destructive abilities are allowed to try and disrupt the other racer. Perhaps utilizing dreamotion based abilities may fare better. Just beware of other obstacles, especially any random crying dodos that create giant pools of tears as water hazards.

D. Tiger Fishing. There are special colorful ponds filled with sparkly gummy koi fish. At each one there is a little round tiger(?) with a pair of tiger mittens. In the same vein of fish scooping games, players must wear the tiger mittens and catch the gummy fish with them. It won't be easy as the gummy fish are even more slippery than normal. Perhaps some other skills could be used...but the little tiger will be watching and will latch onto anyone's heads who try to cheat. But if caught, they will make for a delectable treat—or interesting pet.

Okay how about this??

[Sora has drawn something round! Wow!]

have you had to deal with being starving before?

[Are you okay, journal friend??]

[Sora is so grateful that the little dragons seem to be a little more interested in the newcomer than his own food. Thanks, these little ones are cute but they can shove off with the spicy seasonings right now! He just wanted to try his meal! After all, it's been some time since Sora's been able to have some real meaty things. And the stew smells so good.

But before he can comment and thank for that he looks up and blinks.]


Lio?!

[He blurts that out so fast even if he should know better that some people might not remember who he is. But he's just so surprised?!]

[Sora turns to her and only smiles and lets out a short laugh. No need to worry about interrupting Sora seems happy to see another face.]

Haha, that's fine! But yeah, I think everybody grows a little better when they have positive things said to them. Right?

[A positive life is a happy life!]

And I loved growing my own tomatoes, they somehow tasted even better that way. Do you likes plants and stuff?

[There it is! Sora nods with a laugh, his finger scratching at his cheek.]

Yeah, I actually turned into rabbit monster there. I had the big ears, tail and fangs!

[ "I gotta get used to being me all over again." It's a statement that has Vanitas looking at his hands again. Of course it isn't out of place for Sora to say that. After over a year of being a monster, it's got to be an adjustment getting used to being "normal."

For Vanitas... The definition of "normal" is objective. ]


No. It's not weird. You'll adjust.

[ Since Sora always does. And quickly at that. ]

[ Well crap. Looks like it's too late to hide them after all. Vanitas huffs, pulling his hands off of his head. The ears spring upright, moments before Vanitas has them going flat against his head in irritation. ]

Yes, because I want to trade one ridiculous look for another.

No, it's not. If I wasn't with a group, I doubt they'd believe it either.

[Hell, he'd try if Tifa asked more, but he frowns when her smile fades.]

Did it go that bad with him? How could you possibly let him down?

[No need to wiggle free. Zidane will place the small guy down on the table.]

Haha, good thing I don't really like tea.

Guess that means we gotta find a way to fix you then.

[ Well he should have figured something since that impish look is one that he knows well. The look that says that someone is up to something.

Van doesn't have to wait long! This blonde monkey seems to snatch one of those creepy colorful fish and out of nowhere Vanitas is getting slapped around by the tail. ]


Ack!
darkcharge: (21)

[personal profile] darkcharge 2021-09-06 07:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[ And when Vanitas senses that someone is following him? He doesn't turn around to look. Instead he just moves faster. Weaves further between people before he attempts to duck into some sort of tree to lose the pursuer.

Oh now it really is a game of chase! ]
darkcharge: (145)

[personal profile] darkcharge 2021-09-06 07:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[ There comes a huffing sound from Vanitas as a horrifyingly joyful tone reaches his ears. His hands drop from his neck. Ears go flat against his skull as he looks over at what looks like another blonde menace. How many of these is he going to run into? ]

I was starting to gather that, thanks.

[ He's got a hissing, scathing tone to his own voice. Vanitas is not liking this place already. Too much dumb crap is going on here. ]

It's obvious what sort of sticker you received.
tantailizing: Artwork by: Unknown (A little trouble)

[personal profile] tantailizing 2021-09-06 07:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Well look at that! Won without even trying!

[Zidane almost had a perfectly cattish grin, paw clawing, and tail waving behind his back.]

Are you sure you don't wanna try yourself?
tantailizing: Artwork by: Unknown (So what?)

[personal profile] tantailizing 2021-09-06 07:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[Zidane can't blame him for not wanting to do that. Still, his dragons somehow seems more forgiving... or many they heard Sora's whimpers over his stew that they decide they're done. It leaves Zidane with a stew that's only spiced up slightly.]

... Eh, can't be that bad. Hand it over.

[He might suffer from this, but the poor guy doesn't need to either.]

[Well if it helps, they have claws with these tiger gloves! They're just sadly very flimsy and not solid.

Riku smiles and nods, and takes a quick glance over at the tiger to see if they're paying an attention to their plan. As it is, the little attendant is currently preoccupied with a belly rub from a passerby. Looks like they'll be able to at least try this!]


Don't worry about it. We just have to corner it and pin it under one of us. [Without killing the poor thing...] Sound good?
bloodinbloom: (Big brother!; Big Sis!)

[personal profile] bloodinbloom 2021-09-06 07:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Ehe, I like sweet food better, but I don't mind spicy food. I've made a lot of recipes with spice in them before.

[And some French and German dishes, but she beams as the dragon finishes.]

Thank you very much! It looks tasty!

[It looks like lava in a bowl it turned so red.]

Oh, like a picnic in a park??

[She's never been on a picnic with friends before! Also, she doesn't get the reputation thing.]

[Sora wouldn't have to be so suspicious if Hans wasn't one of the most suspicious people he's ever met. He's not about to take his eyes off of that feeling even if they're all so far away from the places they're supposed to be right now. So, while Hans says those things, that he agrees that he wants to lie in a peaceful manner too? He's still sus.

But Sora doesn't exactly want to get into a big fight right now either. The guy hasn't actually thrown down so Sora isn't about to go swinging around his keyblade unless he really has to. There's too much he doesn't know about this world. Things he's got to figure out first.]


Great, let's just hope we all can keep our word about that!

[And just like that one of the rotten peaches from the tree starts to fall right above Hans' head... If he doesn't move? Splat??]

Whoa-! watch it!

[It's been some time since Kor's told him about all of that. Creed hiding inside his spiria for all those years.]

With you and your friends on the job, I know you will! Creed doesn't stand a chance!

[Then he grins.]

So, you got to see Kohaku again too, right?
oathkeeper: <user name=vhazzrhossze site=tumblr.com> (☄30)

[personal profile] oathkeeper 2021-09-06 07:55 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll have to, huh? We've got a lot to learn about this world, too.

[Sora looks at Vanitas with his head tilting. Somehow the same little action even when he doesn't have long rabbit ears.]

Vanitas? You sure you're okay?
darkcharge: (220)

[personal profile] darkcharge 2021-09-06 07:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Yeah well... What's with everyone else being some kind of dog? Ventus had been a dog. Roxas had been a dog. Now with these stickers so is Riku. Apparently.

Now Vanitas knows better than to think that he can pass through undetected. Not from this guy... ]


Oh ha ha. Laugh it up more. Get it out of your system.
oathkeeper: <user name=vhazzrhossze site=tumblr.com> (☄9)

[personal profile] oathkeeper 2021-09-06 08:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Uhh, you sure?

[He hesitates! Sora can't be liable for any damage to this guy's stomach or his butt hole for this.]

Do you like spicy food?
